Chapter 245: Chapter 245

At that moment, the night was enchanting, the moon bright and the breeze clear, a perfect scene indeed.

Yun Ran felt as though there was a demonic voice swirling around her ears, tormenting the world! Google seaʀᴄh 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙

If she could move now, she would jump up without hesitation and smack the top of his head!

[Good grief! Look at how practiced he is at teasing women; he must have done this plenty of times before!]

[It seems some of the rumors Weixi spoke about earlier are at least partially true!]

[This dog’s romantic escapades must be numerous! The flowers he has attracted must be countless!]

Listening to Yun Ran’s inner voice, Nangong Mo was somewhat dumbfounded.

What was all this about? I’m innocent! I’ve only teased you, no other girl!

But with an arrow on the bowstring at this moment, he could only pretend he didn’t know anything, completely embodying the rogue image.

So he reached out to lift her chin, laughing mischievously, "Why aren’t you talking, little beauty? Are you shy? Or frightened?"

Yun Ran eyed his hand, her tone cool, "I’m just thinking about where to bury you."

The corner of Nangong Mo’s mouth twitched as he recalled her saying on their wedding night that she would bury him north of Yanxia Mountain in Fan Yin Valley.

Ha! The little rascal still remembers that!

Thinking of this, he pinched her cheek, speaking teasingly, "Little beauty, don’t be afraid. I’m a good guy, always kind to women."

[Give me a break! Was this rascal a bandit in his past life? He’s acting better than the real thing!]

Nangong Mo: Surprisingly? I’ve actually fought against bandits several times! Of course, I know how bandits tease beauties.

Yun Ran naturally didn’t know and didn’t care to know, she sneered, mocking him, "Ha! You call yourself a good guy yet dare not release my acupoint? Ridiculous! Coward!"

Her response was his arrogant laughter, "Don’t try to provoke me, I’m adaptable, I won’t fall for tricks."

[Adaptable, my foot! It’s more like shameless and brazen, that’s what it is!]

"Tell me, Miss, why are you wandering alone at midnight? Were you driven out by your family?"

"You were the one driven out! You all bark without yielding like dogs and idlers! Robbers obstructing the way, you’ll be struck by lightning sooner or later! Struck to dust!"

Hearing this, he reached out a finger to poke her forehead, "Such a mouth on you! You must be disliked at home, right? Also, you’re so skinny, is it three days of hunger for every nine meals?"

[That’s too much! A lightning strike, please!]

"You’re the one hungry for three out of nine meals! Your whole family is! Till you’re starved into stupidity!"

Beneath his mask, Nangong Mo’s lips twitched slightly, a subtle, helpless smile flickering through his eyes.

Yet his words were full of rogue bravado, "Little beauty, so pitiful! How about we go back to the mountain and make you my wife?"

[Ha! This dog! Does he really think of himself as a mountain king? As my mountain wife? With that talent, why don’t you reach for the sky?]

Yun Ran’s gaze dropped to his legs, arching a brow lightly, chillingly she said:

"How about you release my acupoint and let me take a swing at you?"

"Would you like it split in two? Or four? Eight?"

"Vertical split? Horizontal? Or diagonal?"

This little rascal thinks I’m chopping cabbages?

And what’s with the little rascal staring at my legs?

The next moment, Nangong Mo slid behind Yun Ran, not only avoiding her chilly gaze but also extending a hand to her slender waist.

His palm warm against her skin, Yun Ran’s heart momentarily tensed, her body briefly tightening.

"Scoundrel! Get your hand off me! Don’t touch me!"

The result was, he placed both hands on her waist, speaking boldly:

"You said it yourself, I’m a scoundrel, do you expect a scoundrel to act as a gentleman? Silly girl, how come you’re so naive?"

Tonight, he has called her silly, dumb, blind, and even implied she’s disliked by cats and dogs, starving for three out of nine meals!

No one has ever insulted her this way and lived well afterward!

Yun Ran was grinding her teeth when he suddenly wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her back gently, her back pressed against his warm, firm chest.

To make matters worse, he lowered his head, resting his chin on her fragrant shoulder, and the cold mask he wore pressed against her delicate, long neck.

Yun Ran almost died of anger from his rogue actions.

She had just struck it rich in the night, thinking happily of returning home for a nice sleep after pawning some gold leaves for sweet dreams.

Instead, she was ambushed by him, pinned in this deserted alleyway, enduring his rogue teasing.

"Yun Mo, I advise you to behave properly."

Hearing her grit her teeth, the man laughed indulgently.

"Who is Yun Mo? Your lover?"

[Feign away! Keep feigning! Let’s see how long you can keep it up!]

Nangong Mo: I’ll feign until you fall for me, head over heels and unwilling to part!

His face rubbed against her neck through the fox mask, speaking disdainfully:

"It’s been so long, and he’s not here to save you. Must not be much, huh? You better follow me and be my mountain wife!"

"Look at you, waist so slim, neck so delicate, figure so thin, I could crush you with one hand. Must be mistreated, never enough to eat—such a little pity!"

Listening to his demonic voice, Yun Ran was almost laughing from the fury!

[Ha! Even pretending to be a bandit, he can’t change his cheeky mouth! Just hearing him talk makes one want to beat him!]

"Nangong Mo, stop pretending, you’ve been exposed."

Nangong Mo: Can’t hear you! Don’t care! You have no proof! No way I’m admitting it!

"Who is Nangong Mo? Another one of your lovers? How many of them do you have, little beauty?"

[So mad, don’t want to talk!]

"Hmm? Why’s your breathing so erratic? Don’t tire yourself, I am counting on you to be my mountain wife!"

Speaking, he even extended a hand confidently, "Don’t get angry, it’s bad for your health. Come, I’ll calm you down."

"Ah! Where are you putting your hand, you idiot! I’ll kill you! Ah! Scoundrel!"

"Little beauty, your voice is so delightful! I like hearing it! Come on, scream a few more?"

"Nan, Gong, Mo, I will definitely kill you! Absolutely will!"

"Stop thinking about Nangong Mo, from now on follow me, I’m known as Master Ran in the world, remember?"
