"Catch him, don’t let him escape."

"Don’t block the arrow, are you crazy? The lady is still in his hands."

"..."

The constables on the street below were looking up and pursuing, but the Black Shadow was just too fast and quickly vanished.

Even Liu Xuan couldn’t catch up, but he could still see the shadow, so he didn’t lose track.

The villain Master Flower flew over the wall of a block and landed on the street. Looking back at the pursuing Liu Xuan, he smirked with ridicule, mocking, "If someone like me, the Master Flower, could be caught by you little goons, I wouldn’t survive in the Jianghu."

The villain Master Flower gently leapt up from the street and landed on a rooftop. Watching the persistent Liu Xuan behind him, he glanced at the already unconscious stunning woman beside him, muttering, "No more playing around, I should get on with the real business."

Carrying the abducted beautiful woman, the villain Master Flower disappeared into the distance with a few leaps, putting a significant distance between him and Liu Xuan.

"Damn it." Seeing his target vanish, Liu Xuan furrowed his brows tightly. This person was highly skilled, above him for sure, absolutely an Innate Martial Artist. He couldn’t catch up, and even if he did, he wouldn’t be his match. He needed help.

But as for finding help, Liu Xuan had no Innate friends.

Suddenly, someone came to his mind.

Prince Zhen Nan, only Prince Zhen Nan could help him now.

Although he had only had brief contact with Prince Zhen Nan, he felt that Prince Zhen Nan was definitely a righteous person.

"Yes, I should look for Prince Zhen Nan." Liu Xuan decided in his heart and rushed towards Prince Zhen Nan’s residence.

...

"Mmm... good husband..."

"Good girl."

"Ah... husband, why... why did you stop moving?"

"Wait a moment, someone’s coming."

"But..."

Wu Xin’Er’s words were still on her lips when a voice came from outside, transmitted from downstairs, "Prince Zhen Nan, I am Liu Xuan. I know it is too late to disturb you, but this matter is extremely urgent. I thought about it and knew only you, my Prince, can help me..."

Wu Xin’Er paused, spat out the hair that somehow got into her mouth, and gently pushed Chen Mo, "Husband, someone is looking for you..."

Chen Mo frowned. He was in the middle of something exciting and didn’t want to be bothered. However, Liu Xuan was shouting and seemed intent on coming upstairs, so he reluctantly gave up.

"Let me go see what’s going on first?" Chen Mo quickly got dressed and went out.

At this moment, the entire tavern was alarmed.

Everyone came out of their rooms, and upon hearing the name Prince Zhen Nan, they were all dumbfounded.

Prince Zhen Nan is in this tavern?

"It’s Chief Constable Liu." Liu Xuan, as the Chief Constable of Jianghe County, was somewhat known locally. Many in the tavern recognized him, and hearing him call for Prince Zhen Nan, everyone was surprised that Prince Zhen Nan had come to Jianghe County?

The next second, the door of an upscale private room upstairs was pushed open, and a figure flew down from above, quickly appearing in front of Liu Xuan.

Seeing Chen Mo, Liu Xuan was overjoyed. But before he could speak, his pupils shrank, for Chen Mo struck at him.

Faced with First Grade Martial Artist Chen Mo, Liu Xuan couldn’t even see the path of the attack.

Without taking a single blow, he was severely beaten up by Chen Mo.

After venting his displeasure, Chen Mo looked at the bruised and swollen Liu Xuan and said coldly, "Why are you looking for me so late?"

"..."

...

After escaping pursuit, the villain Master Flower did not linger in the town, swiftly heading towards the outskirts.

In truth, with his strength, there was no need to run; even all those constables combined would not be his match.

In Master Flower’s heart, he had his own so-called set of principles of justice.

First, to rob wealth but not to take lives.

Second, after picking a flower, not to take the life of the picked flower woman. After spending a night together, he would even leave a generous sum of silver as compensation.

As for later, whether these women whose chastity was tainted would commit suicide, it was not his concern.

The villain Master Flower, with the abducted woman, arrived at a dilapidated temple outside the town.

After the anti-Buddhist movement, temples across the Great Song Dynasty were destroyed.

This dilapidated temple was no different, battered by wind and rain, with no intact walls visible, even missing a roof.

Master Flower came to a shabby Buddha statue, then put down the woman.

However, he didn’t immediately act against the woman but first woke her up.

For Master Flower, constables from the city couldn’t find this place, so it was safe enough. He had plenty of time to do his "good deeds," so he wasn’t in a hurry.

Such a beautiful and charming talented woman, if she lay motionless like a dead body, it would be too disheartening.

The woman gradually woke up, startled, but seeing this stranger in front of her and the unfamiliar surroundings, she panicked, shouting, "Who are you? Where is this place? Don’t... don’t come any closer..."

The woman sat on the ground, retreating step by step, soon cornered by Master Flower. He laughed, "Miss Xiyue, don’t be afraid. I won’t take your life."

"You... you know me?" Hearing him call her name, Cao Xiyue was taken aback, then clasped her hands over her chest, shouting, "Who... who are you? What do you want to do?"

"What’s with the name? I almost forgot. But the people of Jianghu call me Master Flower. Bringing Miss Xiyue here is just to share a night of spousal affection with her." Master Flower laughed.

Cao Xiyue understood his implication, realizing this man was a flower thief. Hearing his grandiose talk, she fumed with rage, cursing Master Flower as a lecher.

Yet, hearing himself being called a lecher, Master Flower was not angry. Instead, he became somewhat excited, saying, "Not bad, the sound is quite loud. Later, Miss Xiyue should shout even louder."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xiyue’s face changed drastically. Without hesitation, she struck out.

She was not an ordinary person but an Eighth Grade Martial Artist.

However, Master Flower seemed to have anticipated this. Not only did he dodge Cao Xiyue’s attack, but he also grabbed her hands, saying, "Such a fiery little wild pony, just to my liking..."

He held Cao Xiyue’s hands with one hand, and taking advantage of her screaming, he flicked a finger with the other hand. A pea-sized elixir was swallowed by Cao Xiyue.

"Ugh... what did you give me?" Cao Xiyue wanted to spit it out, but the elixir had already entered her stomach, making it impossible to expel.

"Relax, it’s not poison, just a potent aphrodisiac. I prefer a somewhat cooperative little wild pony." Master Flower exclaimed joyfully.

"What..."

Cao Xiyue’s face turned pale, then quickly felt her body becoming hot.

As he watched the drug take effect, the smile on Master Flower’s face grew even broader.

"Let go of that girl." Suddenly, a voice rang in his ear.
