I called you ugly

With eyes wide opened in fright, Shen Li took a glance at the man sitting ahead of them. On noticing that he was looking at Miss Jiang with his cold gaze, Shen Li's heart palpitated faster. What to do? How to save their lives from the prince's hand?

"Umm.... that, that.... Miss, he, he is..."

"Shhh!!! Little Li," Amelia hushed him. "Little Li, don't say anything. You are disturbing me in admiring a beauty right now...." she complained, turned her head back to admire the handsome man in front of her.

Shen Li: "......." I am disturbing her? I am saving her life from this cruel prince's hand. Sigh! Why was his life so hard?

Murong Jinzhi arched his brows. What was up with this woman? The entire capital was afraid to look into his eyes much less talk to him and yet, she dared to praise him so openly. Interesting!

Without any warning, he held her chin up and looked at her carefully, up and down. A mischievous glint flashed through his eyes, his lips curved up into a sexy smile while his tone had a dangerous vibe, "I can't say the same about you."

Amelia blinked her eyes innocently. Hearing her comment, she frowned and touched her face. "That's also true."

Murong Jinzhi was amazed. This was the first time, he had seen a woman not crying at his remark. Does every woman hate being called ugly? Was why she so different then? Why did she take his comment like it was nothing?

"Aren't you sad?" he asked, lifting her chin up again to make their eyes meet. Doing so, they were very close to each other. Up close, Murong Jinzhi observed that he was wrong. She wasn't ugly. It was just that her pale was little tanned, yellow and the skin looked dull and dry. Infact, her facial features were very good especially her eyes.

Looking into them, he felt as if he had seen them somewhere before. They were so attractive and her eyelashes were so long that his hands itched to touch them. As he looked at them, something flashed into his mind. It was so blurry and so hazy that before he could ponder about it, it was already gone. Murong Jinzhi frowned. What was wrong with him today? Why was she affecting him so much?

Before her, every woman repulsed him and made him want to destroy them. But she, she was different. Something about her enticed him, attracted him. This feeling was coming from deep within his soul and it made him want to get closer to her. Why? What was it about her?

Also, up close, he could smell a faint smell of blood coming from her. Was she bleeding? He didn't think so. Judging on her ease and comfort, he realized that someone must have tried to hurt her, maybe that's why she fled and she sneaked into his carriage.

"Why should I be sad?" Amelia asked, her eyes full of confusion.

"I called you ugly."

"Oh! But, I am not ugly," Amelia informed. "It's just that this face is a little dull," she said and touched her face, once again. In her heart, she had already decided to do some special beauty treatments on her to enhance her skin. Anyways, this face was fairly similar to her own face. So, it won't be a problem for her to restore her skin.

Looking up at the man's face, her eyes shined. "But, your skin is so good," she said and raised her hands trying to touch his face. She wanted to take off that silver mask and see what kind of beauty was hidden behind that mask. However, just when her hands were about to touch his face, he held her hand. Raising his brows, he gave her that cold look. "I wouldn't do that if I were you..." Murong Jinzhi warned.

Amelia smirked. "Oh really? If I dare to?"

Murong Jinzhi chuckled. "Then I would gladly chop off your hands."

Behind them, Shen Li nodded his little head frantically. He truly believed that the prince would really chop off her hands. Pulling onto her dress, he called her again. "Miss... miss, I, I.... he -"

"Shhhh!!!" Amelia hushed him again. "Don't be scared. He won't do anything to us."

Shen Li: "........" Ahhhhh!!!!!!! He will. He will. He will. He's the devil incarnate and he had already killed innumerable people that we can't even count.

At this moment, Shen Li wanted to cry but no tears came out. Hugging his body, he moved away from them to the far end of the carriage. He wished to make himself disappear but he couldn't do that. He had lost all hope. He knew that before this carriage started, there would be two dead bodies thrown out of the carriage.

Waah!!!!! Why was his fate so bad?

Amelia didn't know why her little li was so scared of this man but she wasn't. Hah! It would be a joke if she, the greatest vampire queen would be scared of something or someone. She wasn't even scared when she was facing that witch, then will can this mere mortal in this fake world do to her?

"You know, if I want to do something to you, you can't even stop me," Amelia informed.

Murong Jinzhi looked at her. Seeing the confidence, in his eyes, he smiled. What gave her that confidence? Who is she? Doesn't this woman know who he is? Maybe, she doesn't. If she knew about his identity, then maybe she wouldn't be so confident at all. After who is in this world, wasn't scared of him and his identity?

"However, don't worry. I won't do anything to you. You are safe with me. You know, I don't like to force people," she added.

With a smile, she felt her stomach grumble. And that's why she remembered her actual reason for entering this carriage. She looked at the handsome man in front of her and couldn't help but scold him in her heart. His beauty even made her forget her hunger for some time. Rubbing her belly, she looked around the carriage for some food but upon seeing nothing, she frowned. She was pretty sure that she had smelled something delicious in here. Where was it? Where was her food?

"I am hungry," she said, her lips jutted into a small pout as she looked at the man in front of her.

Murong Jinzhi: "......." So? I am a prince and not her maid. Who was she ordering?
