“Murder, murder, murder!” A quivering voice exclaimed, then the scene became chaotic.

The night market was already crowded. At this moment, a commotion caused countless people to squeeze each other.

Luo Cheng immediately sensed that something was wrong. He wrapped his arm around Li Xiaoran’s waist and climbed up a very tall tree.

Zi Cheng and the others followed suit. They jumped up and landed on the big tree.

Some quick-witted people followed suit and quickly found a higher place to climb up.

Those who didn’t react fast enough were pushed away by the crowd.

There were also some people in the middle who wanted to break free. Unfortunately, there was no space around them and they could only watch as they were squeezed away. If they didn’t pay attention and fell, they would be stepped on by many people.

Li Xiaoran was sitting on a tree under Luo Cheng’s protection. Seeing the crowd below, Li Xiaoran was filled with regret.

She had only come to the night market to take a stroll and had never expected such a thing to happen.

She had heard of stampedes on television or in novels in the past, but now that she had experienced it personally, she realized how terrifying large-scale crowds were.

Ordinary people would only feel despair under such circumstances. Because the people were completely irrational at this moment, they couldn’t help them even if they wanted to.

At this moment, the big tree was also withstanding the weight of many people. Fortunately, this was a big tree that was more than a hundred years old and its trunk was very thick, so it could withstand the weight of these people.

At this moment, the sound of a bamboo whistle sounded, then flames suddenly lit up around them.

At the same time, some people started shouting. “Quick, follow in the direction of the flames!” The crowd ran towards the fire spontaneously.

Gradually, the crowd dispersed.

After landing, Li Xiaoran wanted to take a look around, but Luo Cheng grabbed her and covered her eyes with his big hand.

“Don’t look, don’t listen, don’t sense it. Li Xiaoran, don’t sense it!” Luo Cheng said as his other hand used Li Xiaoran’s hands to cover her ears.

However, the effect was very small. Even if she didn’t look or listen, she could still sense all kinds of emotions.

“Husband, let go of me! It’s useless. I can sense everything!” Li Xiaoran said. When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he could only take his hand away.

She saw many people lying on the ground.

Some of them were already dead or on the verge of death.

Some people were covering their injuries and wailing, in hopes that someone could save them.

At this moment, the sounds of crying, wailing, and footsteps were mixed together.

Li Xiaoran couldn’t control her empathic abilities and all those emotions overcame her. Li Xiaoran’s expression became stranger and stranger, and she finally spat out a mouthful of blood.

When Luo Cheng saw Li Xiaoran like this, he was immediately anxious. He carried Li Xiaoran up and was about to leave.

“Wait, don’t go! Husband, there’s a collapsed cellar in the northeast. There are more than ten children inside. Hurry up and send people to save them!” Li Xiaoran endured her discomfort as she said.

“You’re still thinking about others when you’re in this state?!” Luo Cheng said angrily.

“Husband, hurry up. Don’t make my suffering meaningless!” Li Xiaoran covered her head and said firmly.

Seeing this, Luo Cheng could only ask his people to go to the northeast area to save people.

As for Luo Cheng, he was still guarding Li Xiaoran.

“Husband, why aren’t you helping?” Li Xiaoran urged.

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words and looked at her pale face, he only said,

“Li Xiaoran, you’re compassionate, but I only have you in my heart! To me, you’re the most precious one. I can’t imagine what my life would be like if you weren’t by my side one day!”

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s words, her gaze landed on his face.

At this moment, all the emotions she sensed with her empathic abilities dissipated. She could only feel the concern of the man in front of her.

Li Xiaoran felt Luo Cheng’s cherishing, care, and determination. “Husband! Thank you! I’m so lucky to have met you in my life!” When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran say this, he shook his head.

“I’m so lucky to have met you in my life!”

With that, he carried Li Xiaoran on his back and asked, “Come! I’ll bring you around to find people we can save!”

Li Xiaoran nodded, then the two of them started moving.

As expected, Li Xiaoran discovered a few more people who had already fainted but were still breathing.

The officials also came. Luo Cheng revealed his identity as the Seventh Prince and led them to the place where the people needed the most help. Then, he left with Li Xiaoran on his back.

After confirming that Li Xiaoran didn’t sense any more emotions, Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran left quietly with their people.

Perhaps because they were far from the night market now, Li Xiaoran, who was sitting in the carriage, became sleepy.

However, for some reason, every time she was about to fall asleep, she immediately woke up again.

Li Xiaoran shook her head. “Husband, tell everyone to be careful! I keep feeling that something is about to happen!”

When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he immediately frowned.

Many things had happened after they came out today. Why was something about to happen now that they were already going home? Although he thought so, Luo Cheng still gave the order.

Then, the group perked up and became on guard.

However, everything was fine and they reached the door of the Seventh Prince’s residence.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief, but at that moment, something happened.

Arrows were fired at Luo Cheng, Li Xiaoran, and the others from the Seventh Prince’s residence.

This time, everyone was caught off guard.

Fortunately, Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran didn’t get out of the carriage, which temporarily blocked some arrows for them.

However, this wasn’t a solution. They had to think of a way to leave this place.

“Husband, there are still many people inside. They’re all coming for us. Hurry up and tell everyone to retreat!” Li Xiaoran sensed many emotions inside and her expression changed.

“How dare you pretend to be the Seventh Prince and his consort? I’m gonna kill you guys today!” a voice shouted..
