Chapter 222: Chapter 222
The man raised the brick in his hand, with a teasing smile, "Hey little girl, we haven’t seen each other for a few days, and this is how you repay your savior? Huh?"
Yun Ran snorted coldly, suddenly lifting her foot to kick at him, her movements crisp and swift, full of animosity!
The man twitched his mouth slightly, swiftly dodging to avoid the ruthless kick.
A cold, chilling gaze floated towards Yun Ran, "Hey, why do you give such a hefty gift the moment we meet? Where’s your conscience? Did a wolf take it away?"
Yun Ran sneered, rolling her eyes at him, "You’re absolutely right, your conscience was taken away by a wolf long ago, which is why you’re totally rotten!"
The man’s figure was as ethereal and charming as a fairy, suddenly drifting to her front with the wind, leaning slightly, his brows and eyes smiling with mockery, "Am I that bad? How so?"
[This troublemaker is seducing people again! Damn demon!]
Yun Ran kicked at him again, the wind whistling as it aimed straight for his waist and abdomen.
Nangong Mo: "..." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI(F)ire.net
Is the little girl really trying to make sure I have no offspring?
The man’s handsome face stiffened slightly, gracefully retreating backward, maintaining a safe distance from her.
"Speaking of, today I saw Nangong Mo."
Upon hearing this, Yun Ran couldn’t help but roll her eyes internally.
[Does he really think I’ve been wasting my time in the martial world all these years? Such deceit!]
[Unless you stand side by side with Nangong Mo, take off your mask so I can properly compare, and confirm you’re indeed two separate people! Otherwise, whatever you say, you’re the same person!]
Nangong Mo: Is it still possible to train one now?
The man cleared his throat lightly, pressing his thin lips, "Aren’t you curious what he said to me?"
Yun Ran tossed a disdainful glance at him, "It’s a pity he didn’t beat you to death!"
Nangong Mo: Beat himself to death?
The man raised his chin proudly, "This young master’s martial arts are extraordinary, it’s not that easy to be beaten to death, is it?"
"However, today, I heard that you intend to repay me for saving your life by marrying me after divorcing Nangong Mo. Is that true?"
Yun Ran’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, looking at him with a cool gaze, "Where did you hear that nonsense?"
These were the words she said to Nangong Mo that night.
For various reasons, she not only said she would divorce him but also claimed to have fallen in love at first sight with her savior, intending to offer her body in gratitude.
Not only that, she also said that as a solitary man and woman in the desolate mountains, spending day and night together for over ten days, everything that should and shouldn’t happen did happen.
But what did the scoundrel say?
He said he didn’t mind, that there was no separation alive, only apart in death between them, and shamelessly threatened her, that each time she mentioned divorce, he would... do that many times...
The man hid a flash of amusement in his eyes, his figure flickering as he appeared in front of Yun Ran once more, reaching out to touch her hair, spuriously serious:
"This young master was worried about your injury, so I wanted to visit you at the Prince Qin Mansion, but you weren’t there, and I got discovered by the guards."
"Nangong Mo even wanted to take the opportunity to kill me to silence me! Fortunately, I’m agile and escaped quickly, or else you wouldn’t see your savior again!"
[I don’t believe a word you say! A deceitful scoundrel through and through! One day I’ll reveal your true face personally!]
[And beat you until even a dog wouldn’t recognize you!]
Didn’t you fall for my good looks? Can you really bear to beat me like that?
"Why don’t you care hearing that your savior almost met with disaster?"
"That’s really unfortunate! Why didn’t they beat you to death!"
After saying that, Yun Ran didn’t even look at him, turning around and leaving, showing him a cool and decisive back.
Trying to get rid of me? No way!
The Crown Prince appeared earlier, and next, it should be Shen Mubai, Yan Zichu, and Shen Weixi, right?
Oh, and that damn Xiao Mohan!
He followed for two whole streets!
Yun Ran couldn’t bear it any longer, stopping in her tracks, she turned around, looking at the person who’s been keeping a ten-meter distance behind her like a shadow.
"How long do you plan to follow me?"
She spat out the words through gritted teeth, her voice filled with murderous intent!
However, the person seemed unaffected by the threat, smiling and teasing her, "Until you divorce Nangong Mo and marry me!"
[Calm, don’t be angry! A beautiful woman doesn’t argue with a dog!]
Yun Ran raised her brows, showing a bright smile, "Alright then, go kill Nangong Mo, and bring his head as a betrothal gift."
"What are you hesitating for? Go quickly!"
The man pursed his slightly stiff lips, "But... isn’t murdering someone not a good thing?"
"Isn’t it?" Yun Ran looked at him with a smile, suddenly raised her hand, and three pellets flew at him ’swoosh swoosh swoosh’.
In an instant, black, green, and pink smoke billowed, blurring the vision.
Nangong Mo swiftly dodged to avoid the poisonous smoke, but in that moment, Yun Ran’s figure had disappeared from sight.
Nangong Mo shook his head helplessly, "This cunning girl!"
The bustling West Market of the Imperial City, at the Jiuzhou Music House.
As soon as Yun Ran stepped inside, a young, beautiful woman with a graceful figure greeted her with a bow and smile, "You seem a bit unfamiliar, is this your first visit, miss?"
Yun Ran wore a veil, her bright eyes sparkling with slight mirth, as she nodded.
"Miss, do you have a particular piece in mind, or perhaps a favorite instrument? The konghou, guzheng, pipa, or the seven-stringed zither? Or maybe, do you prefer music from a specific country?"
Yun Ran walked through the delicately decorated, elegantly styled hall, where sandalwood incense wafted in the air, and the lingering sound of string and wind instruments added a touch of etherealness.
After surveying her surroundings, Yun Ran smiled lightly at the young woman, "I’d like to see your manager."
The young woman paused, her eyes surprised and curious as she looked at Yun Ran, "Does the miss know our manager?"
"Please wait a moment."
Shortly after, the woman led over a scholarly-looking man in blue robes, somewhat frail in appearance.
"Miss, this is the manager of our music house, Young Master Qingzhu."
Young Master Qingzhu looked at Yun Ran, raising his hand in greeting, his voice gentle, "What brings you to see me?"
Yun Ran studied him for a moment, raising her brows slightly, "Is Yu Feiyin not here?"
Both of them were startled by the question, a dark wave of shadow flickering in their eyes as they secretly assessed Yun Ran, though outwardly remaining calm, "Do you know Lady Yu?"
Yun Ran took out a brocade box from her sleeve and handed it to Young Master Qingzhu, "Here, once she sees this, I’m sure she’ll be willing to meet me."
Young Master Qingzhu looked at the brocade box in his hand...
"Don’t worry, there’s no hidden weapon or poison in it, it’s just a token. I’ll just wait here, if there’s really deceit, would your big music house be afraid I might run away?"
