Chapter 185: Chapter 185
Yun Ran narrowed her eyes, looking at him, silent and quiet.
Her current situation is indeed frustratingly weak.
But to say she can be manipulated, and acted upon at will?
She still has the ability to kill him before he succeeds.
At worst, it’s just a matter of injuring herself to defeat the enemy, and if it comes to that, they’d perish together.
It’s just that she hasn’t felt any malice from him, and also, she suspects he might be Nangong Mo.
Does this bastard really think he can do as he pleases?
The man touched his chin, coughed lightly with some guilt, "Hey hey, don’t look at me like that, I’ll stop talking, alright?"
Yun Ran still looked at him, silent, her eyes clear and cool, with a hint of killing intent.
The man raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "I was just trying to scare you a bit, why would I really take liberties with you?"
"Although you’re a pretty little lady, you’re not gentle at all and the body..."
Yun Ran’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the man immediately closed his mouth and changed his words:
"I have three hundred concubines at home, countless beauties, why would I need to do something worse than a beast like touching an innocent girl? Don’t you think?"
"Three hundred concubines? Ha! You still have to live long enough to enjoy them, don’t you?"
"This young master is in his prime, with a long life ahead. There’s plenty of time to enjoy it all."
Yun Ran curled her lips coldly, picked up a tea cup, and threw it at him, "Get lost before I poison you."
The man caught the tea cup with both hands, placed it lightly on the table, then dragged a chair towards the door, "Alright, alright, I’m leaving, rolling out is what I do best."
Through the open window, Yun Ran saw him circling the open space at the door once before dragging the chair to a tree, then returned to the house to fetch a stool.
In the faint moonlight, the man reclined on the chair clothed, his long legs crossed comfortably resting on the stool.
Yun Ran: [It’d be nice if a wild beast came and dragged him away!]
When the man lifted his head, he could see the girl by the window under the shadow of the candle.
He waved at her with a teasing smile, "Don’t be afraid, go to sleep, with me here guarding, no beast would dare to drag you away."
[A dog can’t speak human words, you bastard!]
"You’re the one being dragged away by beasts! Watch out for thunder overnight, might just strike you dead!"
Darn, this girl never wishes him well...
"What a heartless little lady!"
The man sighed quietly, took out a string of keys from his pocket, and played with it around his finger.
Yun Ran looked at those keys...
"Don’t look, it’s useless even if you see it, don’t think about stealing the keys, this young master keeps them close to his body, you wouldn’t dare to take them even if you came."
The words ’close to his body’ were deliberately emphasized, carrying a hint of indescribable meaning.
"You bastard! Drenched by rain and struck by lightning you shall be!"
Yun Ran finished her sentence and didn’t bother to look at his reaction, slammed the window shut with a ’snap’, out of sight, out of mind.
The man touched his chin with one hand, gazed at the vast starry sky and lazily said:
"The sky is my blanket, the earth my mat, with the moon bright and stars sparse, wind light and clouds pale, what a beautiful night, it would be perfect with a pot of wine!"
"It’d be even better with a beautiful lady to share a cup!"
"I miss my enchanting three hundred concubines."
With a soft noise, the window opened, and the girl’s cold, killing-intent-laden voice floated over on the wind:
"Shut up! Stop talking! It’s so annoying!"
The man propped himself up slightly, his gaze crossing the bright moon and gentle breeze towards her, "Still awake? Want me to come to the window and chat with you?"
"Get lost! If you dare say another word, I’ll poison you!" Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs noveⅼfire.net
Even more painful was, in the middle of the night, lightning flashed and thunder roared, while wind and rain lashed...
