The masked man's gaze finally shifted from Yun Shuniun to Mu Qi.
Mu Qi retorted just as sharply.
If looks could kill, there would have been sparks flying between them.
Yun Shuniun, held tightly in Mu Qi's arms, felt she was about to suffocate.
"Mmm," Yun Shuniun let out a soft, pained hum.
"Mu Qi, don't you see she's suffocating?" The masked man looked at Yun Shuniun in Mu Qi's arms, his tone as sharp as his gaze.
Hearing this, the air around Mu Qi seemed to freeze. He slightly loosened his grip on Yun Shuniun, but still held her head against his chest.
"Heh, what? Afraid Miss Yun will fall for me?" The masked man looked at Mu Qi with disdain.
"That's right. Miss Yun must despise you immensely. Otherwise, why would she be so fond of being here with me and refuse to leave with you?" The masked man tilted his head up, arrogant and wild.
Mu Qi pursed his lips, killing intent directed at the masked man.
He heard it all?
Yun Shuniun frowned, realizing immediately and quickly explaining, "Mu Qi, it's not like he said."
"Miss Yun, why deceive yourself? Don't worry, this is still my territory. He won't do anything to you." The masked man deliberately softened his voice, as if he truly saw Yun Shuniun as an intimate lover.
Held in Mu Qi's arms, Yun Shuniun elegantly rolled her eyes. "I haven't even seen your face. Maybe you're an ugly monster. What could I possibly think of you?"
"Besides, no one is more handsome than Mu Qi!"
Yun Shuniun said this loudly, as if afraid Mu Qi wouldn't hear.
"Oh, really?" The masked man leaned down and chuckled, as if deliberately suppressing his laughter, his shoulders trembling slightly.
"Then why don't I take off my mask and let you have a look? I guarantee you'll like it." The masked man's tone carried a calm amusement.
Yun Shuniun suddenly felt like mocking him properly.
"Alright, then let me see." Yun Shuniun reached out to push Mu Qi away, but Mu Qi's arms tightened abruptly.
"Mu Qi, if you don't let me go now, I really won't leave later." Yun Shuniun had no choice but to threaten Mu Qi.
The arm holding Yun Shuniun tightly stiffened.
A moment later, Yun Shuniun finally broke free from Mu Qi's embrace.
"Now, can you take off the mask?" Yun Shuniun narrowed her eyes, looking at the person who had covered himself so thoroughly with a mask.
"Very well, Miss Yun, as you wish." Saying this, the masked man's handsome hand slowly reached for the mask on his face.
For a moment, everyone's gaze, except for Mu Qi who had been watching Yun Shuniun, was fixed on the masked man. Even the pervert who had seen the masked man's true face couldn't help but glance over.
When a mystery is unveiled, people can't help but want to see the true face.
Everyone watched this scene expectantly, but just as the masked man's thumb and four fingers covered both sides of the mask, he suddenly stopped.
"What? Are you truly an ugly monster who's afraid to show his face?" Yun Shuniun said coldly, no one could use her to provoke Mu Qi.
"How could that be? I said Miss Yun would like it, so Miss Yun will like it." The masked man's expression remained arrogant and unyielding, as if brimming with confidence.
"However, the lighting in this room is too soft. Why don't you come closer, Miss Yun, and take a look?" The masked man beckoned Yun Shuniun with a finger.
This gesture, which should have been frivolous, didn't appear so on him. Instead, it gave a sense of intimacy.
"I come closer?" Yun Shuniun crossed her arms, a half-smile on her face.
"Young Madam, don't go." Shang Gong was anxious. He didn't care about Yun Shuniun, but his young master cared very much.
Shang Gong was certain that if Yun Shuniun insisted on going, his young master would definitely stop her.
And if the other party suddenly attacked them at that moment, Shang Gong didn't dare to think about the consequences of becoming prey.
"As a woman, I should be reserved. But you're right, the lighting in this room is indeed too soft."
Yun Shuniun paused, touched her chin, and then seemed to have an idea. "Why don't you show some gentlemanly grace and come over here for me to see?"
"I come over myself? Won't they be afraid?" The masked man tilted his head upon hearing this, as if asking sincerely.
His demeanor was more arrogant than outright mockery.
Yun Shuniun's crescent eyes instantly turned sharp upon hearing this.
Just as Yun Shuniun was about to lose her temper and rush forward to bash his head in, Mu Qi suddenly put his arms around her shoulders from behind.
Yun Shuniun looked up at Mu Qi. Mu Qi didn't lower his head to speak to her. All she could see was Mu Qi's perfectly sculpted jawline.
At the same time, Shang Gong also moved closer towards Mu Qi and Yun Shuniun.
Mu Qi: "If you have the guts, come over."
The masked man looked at Yun Shuniun and Mu Qi's identical expressions, his lips forming a straight line under the mask.
"Heh, since that's the case, then watch closely." The masked man chuckled mockingly, then approached the three of them.
The masked man's steps did not deliberately slow down; in fact, they were a bit faster than usual.
The ordinary pervert, seeing this, immediately followed.
Only when the distance between them was mere inches did the masked man finally stop.
Shang Gong's soft sword then pointed towards the masked man.
Following this, the masked man's hand, as before, covered his mask.
However, soon a short blade appeared in the masked man's hand.
The masked man spun around, evading Shang Gong's soft sword, and lunged at Mu Qi.
In a flash, Mu Qi caught the short blade with his bare hands.
Seeing this, the masked man quickly pulled the short blade back, attempting to attack again.
At this point, the pervert finally reacted and immediately blocked the masked man's attack against Shang Gong.
Seeing that Mu Qi was bleeding, Yun Shuniun's blood surged. While the masked man was not paying attention, she kicked him to the ground.
At this moment, the pervert was also subdued.
The masked man didn't expect Yun Shuniun to be so strong. He looked in disbelief at the short blade that had been flung away.
"This is my territory. Did you think I would just let you leave?" After a moment of stunned silence, the masked man uttered a threat.
