Chapter 1235 - 62: So Much Like Her
The man grabbed Hu Ruolan and was about to curse, but the offensive words stuck in his throat as he suddenly noticed how striking she looked.
Hu Ruolan’s beauty was among the top in the Sky Fox Tribe, otherwise Hu Qianqiu would not have married her.
Though she was already a mother, her beauty had hardly diminished compared to the past.
In the eyes of this passerby, she seemed like a Heavenly Being.
"Sorry, I lost myself for a moment," Hu Ruolan stammered, anxiously searching for any sign of her maid.
But among the bustling crowd, Maid Gui Zhi was nowhere to be seen.
"It’s fine, it’s fine. To be bumped into by such a beauty must be our fate," the Sky Fox Clan member looked lewdly at her, reaching out to touch Hu Ruolan’s face.
"Imp... Impudent! Do you know who I am? I am the wife of the..." Hu Ruolan had never been insulted in such a manner, her face turning pale with fright as she was about to reveal her identity.
But upon reconsidering, she realized that having left the Heavenly Fox Palace, she was no longer the Clan Leader’s Wife.
Moreover, over the years, who would still see her as the Clan Leader’s Wife?
"Who are you? Beauty, speak," the Sky Fox Clan member had a small position of power in Hu Capital, seeing Hu Ruolan’s beauty and her being alone, he had malicious intent, wanting to forcefully take her away.
Hu Ruolan panicked inside, wanting to escape, but surrounded by crowds, she stumbled around like a headless fly.
"Help, help," Hu Ruolan cried out.
But the passersby all looked indifferent.
"Step aside, this woman is a maid from my grand manor, she stole valuables and ran off, no one should interfere," the Sky Fox passerby sneered, like an eagle swooping down on a chick.
"Stop," someone shouted from the crowd.
Two men and a woman stepped out from among the crowd.
With the light behind them, the Sky Fox passerby only saw a tall silhouette.
"Where did this kid come from, daring to interfere in my matters, let me tell you, I’m the son of the Second Elder’s housekeeper in the Elder Council," the Sky Fox passerby shouted arrogantly.
"Even if he were an Elder from the Sky Fox Elder Council, he couldn’t abduct a civilian on the street. You claim this woman is your maid, what is her name, and what did she steal?" The leading man’s voice was cold, emanating an aura that sent a chill through the crowd.
The Sky Fox passerby was rendered speechless.
"Sir, I am not their maid. My maid and I just arrived in Hu Capital, and due to the crowded streets, we accidentally got separated." Hu Ruolan saw this person as a lifeline, eagerly explaining.
She looked up and met the eyes of the kind stranger.
When they saw each other’s faces, Hu Ruolan and the kind passerby both showed signs of surprise.
Hu Ruolan was astonished by the extraordinary appearance of the passerby.
It was a young man, his age was not much, clothed modestly, but from head to toe, he exuded an aristocratic aura that surpassed even Sky Fox Clan Leader Hu Qianqiu by a few degrees.
The young man looked at Hu Ruolan’s face, also appearing a bit unsettled.
"Young Cl... Young Master," Ya Ji, standing nearby, noticed something amiss between the two, and couldn’t help but call out.
The Young Clan Chief usually paid no mind to the young women of his clan; but now confronted with a married woman, he seemed inexplicably entranced.
Could the Young Clan Chief really favor married women like her?
Ya Ji, displeased, glared at Hu Ruolan several times, realizing this fox clan woman was indeed beautiful; no wonder she was bullied by the passerby with malicious intent on the road.
These three, walking through the streets of Hu Capital, the kind strangers, were Jiuluan’s Young Clan Leader Lu and his two subordinates, who disguised themselves upon reaching Hu Capital.
Lu, driven to stop his grandfather from arbitrarily matchmaking, had rushed all the way there, arriving only at dusk.
He intended to find an inn to rest, but unexpectedly encountered this woman.
It was due to a momentary feeling of injustice, not knowing the woman’s appearance bore some resemblance to Yun Sheng.
Especially those black eyes...
Lu was momentarily lost in thought, until Hu Ruolan grew a bit uneasy under his gaze, then he realized his lack of manners.
Lu, having encountered Yun Sheng twice in the Dutian Blood Realm, was deeply infatuated.
Because of Yun Sheng, during these years, each time his grandfather mentioned the marriage between Jiuluan and the Sky Fox Tribe, he resisted vehemently.
Despite knowing well he and Yun Sheng were impossible, Lu still harbored a fantasy, hoping he might meet Yun Sheng again one day.
Earlier, it was due to the woman’s back resembling Yun Sheng that he intervened impulsively.
The hairstyle indicated she was married, though alone, her attire and speech showed she came from a wealthy family, by no means a maidservant.
Besides, she was a Sky Fox.
Yun Sheng belonged to the Human Clan; there could be no connection with this woman.
"Where did this brat come from? Since when do you meddle in my affairs?" The Sky Fox passerby was infuriated that the beauty was snatched away, threatening to make a scene.
Looking at Lu, appearing weary from travel, it was clear he was a foreigner.
Moreover, he was young, and it made him think Lu was easy to bully.
"Get out of the way, don’t ruin my fun," the Sky Fox passerby reached out to seize Hu Ruolan, who quickly retreated behind Lu.
Seeing the Sky Fox passerby’s rudeness, Lu’s demeanor suddenly changed.
He stepped forward, and on the bustling street, everyone within tens of meters felt a pressing, invisible force.
The crowded mass was forcibly separated by more than a meter of empty space.
The Sky Fox passerby, who intended to provoke, had not gotten close before feeling as if his chest was being hammered, unable even to groan before he flew off like a kite with its string cut.
Once flown, he collapsed on the ground and did not rise again.
"Dead, dead," some curious passersby approached and found the Sky Fox passerby now resembled muddy sludge, not a single intact bone was to be found.
Such... such formidable power.
To smash a Pureblood Sky Fox, reducing him to pulp, what kind of background does this young man have?
The spectators all stepped back a few paces in fright, each looking in terror at Lu.
"Let’s go," Lu said nothing, beginning to turn to leave.
"Wait," Hu Ruolan looked around, then at Lu and the other two about to leave.
After separating from Gui Zhi, she was penniless and didn’t know where to stay for the night.
"You, this woman, the Young Master kindly saved you, why are you pestering further?" Ya Ji scoffed.
"Sir, I’ve lost my baggage and money; could you shelter me for a few days until I find my maid and repay you?" Hu Ruolan mustered the courage to ask.
