Lin Nan glared at us, her eyes bloodshot. “Good! Jing Tian, I will make you regret it. I will make you beg me!”

As she spoke, she gestured for the guards to take her back. Mai Qi and Jing Ni were also taken back.

“Wait!” I raised my voice to stop them.

Lin Nan glared at me fiercely.

“I don’t care how you make Jing Tian regret it. You have to return my friend to me!” I looked at Lin Nan with a smile.

Lin Nan glared at me and enunciated each word clearly, “Use Jing Tian in exchange!”

I shrugged. “It’s true that Jing Tian is my husband, but he’s not an object. I can’t just hand him over. Change your condition!”

Lin Nan scorned, “Hmph! Husband! How shameless. When you came in, he was still your fiancé. I didn’t expect him to become your husband overnight.”

I shrugged. “Speaking of which, I don’t know whether I should thank you or blame you for meddling in other people’s business. We were already engaged. It didn’t make much of a difference whether he was my fiancé or my husband. This matter has nothing to do with you. I really want to ask you. Since you’re so concerned about what happened last night, I wonder whether you and the guard will have a good time. Jing Tian and I will prepare a wedding present for you.”

Lin Nan said coldly, “You don’t have to be so quick with your words in front of me. Don’t forget that both of you are in my hands now. I’m in charge!”

I nodded. “Yes, yes, you’re right! You’re in charge. Let’s discuss the terms. I won’t do something like give away my husband. Change it!”

Lin Nan looked at me as if she was looking at the food on her plate. A bloodthirsty smile appeared on her lips. “Alright, I want Phoenix Blood!”

I smiled. “I knew you would make this request!”

She looked at me and smiled.

Jing Tian pulled me back, wanting to block me behind him.

I held his hand tightly, indicating that I knew what to do.

Lin Nan gave me a disdainful look. “So? What are you going to do?”

“Of course, I’m going to oblige. My friends are in your hands, so what else can I do? However, I’d advise you to go back and ask your family elders first. Do they want to kill me to get the Phoenix Blood, or do they want to settle this peacefully? For now, I can give you two blood samples in change for my two friends.” I looked at Lin Nan calmly.

Lin Nan snorted. “In your dreams!”

I spread my hands. “Do you mean that you intend to use my life to exchange for my two friends?”

Lin Nan looked as if it was a matter of course.

Jing Tian pulled me into his arms and said coldly, “Then you should be prepared to be buried with the entire Lin Family!”

Lin Nan narrowed her eyes, but I knew that it wasn’t fear. She was still trying to seduce Jing Tian.

I wrapped my arms around Jing Tian’s waist to appease his anger. I asked Lin Nan with a smile, “What do you think? Why don’t you think about it?”

Lin Nan looked at Jing Tian and said with a sincere tone. “Jing Tian, can we talk alone?”

“There’s no need!” Jing Tian blurted out without hesitation.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Lin Nan’s eyes.

I added for Lin Nan’s benefits, “Sigh! What’s there to talk about between you and him? You don’t have the qualifications to be his woman now. You’ve schemed against him, and you have already given yourself to the guard.”

Lin Nan was furious. She wanted to come over and bite me. I looked concerned for her. “Moreover, he doesn’t have Phoenix Blood! Plus, he doesn’t even need to save my friends because it’s not his turn to do so.”
