章 590: Pay To Embarrass 3

編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation

To him, it was funny to see the surprised look on everyone's face! It was as though they were struck by lightning the moment Gu Xijiu took off her mask. It could probably make him laugh for a month.

The young man next to her was good at stirring up her excitement that she could not help but smile along with him. Without hesitating, she threw a bag full of clinking spiritual stones to Qian Lingyu. There must be plenty of stones in it. "Let’s go for a big feast on the first floor tomorrow!"

"Good! By then, I will fill up my plate with every dish to outrage those rude people!" Elated, Qian Lingyu felt very satisfied with the thoughts of the events that had just happened not long ago. Suddenly, he was reminded of something, "By the way, Xijiu, did you already foresee that they could no longer contain their curiosity and were going to uncover your mask tonight?"

Gu Xijiu squinted her eyes into the shape of the crescent moon and said, "Try and guess?"

Qian Lingyu did not say anything. Although that was meant as a question, deep down he already knew the answer. The young lady was indeed cunning.

He held his forehead and said, "Xijiu, you are too crafty, how could you possibly come up with such a way to make money!?"

"This ability came from necessity. I do not wish to rely on coarse food anymore, so I have to think of more ways to make money. But, too bad..." said Gu Xijiu, radiantly.

"Too bad, what?" asked Qian Lingyu, confused.

"Too bad that everyone in the night market was wearing a mask. They had even altered their body shape, so I could not really tell who they were. If I had known that the buyer was someone who was displeasing to me, I would have made an even greater sum of money from him! I would double up the price. For those who were absolutely displeasing, I would even raise the price tenfold!"

Qian Lingyu could not help but roll his eyes, "Luckily you could not differentiate anyone so you could treat all of them equally."

"By the way, Xijiu, if you recognized me in the night market, would you give me a discount based on our friendship?"

"No exception," said Gu Xijiu, in all seriousness.

Qian Lingyu did not know what to say.

He could not help but look at Gu Xijiu. The night breeze was gently swaying her dark hair and long robe. Her eyes were still curved like the crescent moon, with a look of intelligence and grace.

He could feel a sudden increase in the rate of his heartbeat.

"Xijiu…" He called out her name.

Gu Xijiu turned her head around and raised her brow at him, "Yes?"

Under her intense gaze, he suddenly lost the words to say to her, as though he had his mouth parched and tongue scorched.

Gu Xijiu noticed that his handsome face was gradually growing red. Confused, she asked, "What is wrong with you?" She observed him a little more, "Not feeling well? Do you have a fever?"

Just when she was about to raise her hand and touch his forehead, Qian Lingyu took an unexpected leap backward, as though he had just been burned. "Please don’t! It is improper for men and women to touch each other!"

Gu Xijiu withdrew her hand. She raised her eyebrow at him while looking at his courageous attempt to keep to his virtues. She did not quite understand his sudden change in attitude, "Well?"

"I… I have to go back and practice Kung Fu! See you next time!" Qian Lingyu dashed off as though a ghost was chasing after him.

Gu Xijiu shook her head in disbelief; then she went back into her yard.

Not long after she had entered the yard, a person’s silhouette could be seen from afar.

This person’s Kung Fu was good, as he was able to follow her without making any sound at all. He stood there as he watched the two of them part ways. Instinctively, he touched his storage bag and felt glad that he was able to avoid being recognized by the lady in the night market. Otherwise, he could not possibly buy the pills at the price that he was offered.

He did not expect the lady to be so capable. To his surprise, she was a master of alchemy! Presumably, her art of healing must be good, too. Her triumph against Gu Xixi must not have been all luck after all.


章 591: Pay To Embarrass 4

Everyone who had seen her true identity at the night market must be having the same thoughts as him as they were all equally blinded by her charm. Some of them would probably think that her brave words about curing Qian Lingyu were not entirely false right now as there was a certain level of credibility to back it.

In the secret gambles among the people, the chips to bet for her ‘to fail in curing Qian Lingyu and embarrass herself’ would probably be scaled down by tomorrow.

Had the lady realized that Qian Lingyu had actually been poisoned? Had she realized that it was him, Qian Lingtian, behind all the tricks? She had not realized it yet, had she?

After all, the person who had gifted him the poison had told him how special the poison was. No one on earth would be able to identify it. The person even told him that as long as he refused to take the antidote, the poison would never be cured.

If one day all his tricks were exposed, he would rather die than to cure the poison. Even if he was being force-fed with the antidote, they still could not do anything with him if he refused to cooperate and help with the conversion of the antidote.

In times of desperation, he would use his secret power to burn himself down. He would rather perish together with Qian Lingyu. There was a sign of brutal and vicious intent in his eyes. He clenched his fists tightly under the sleeves.

However, Qian Lingyu’s recent attitude was slightly odd. To be on the safe side, he ought to head back and take the level-four pills.

Until the conversion was complete, it would then be unnecessary for him to practice Kung Fu at the same time as Qian Lingyu every day. He could finally have a break.

He knew that Qian Lingyu would begin practicing Kung Fu when he got home, so he dared not hold up any further. He got up and quickly went back.

His movements were swift. However, two shadows suddenly appeared behind him and closely followed his tracks. Gu Xijiu’s shadow could be seen on the tree as she appeared out of nowhere.

Her camouflage was really excellent. Her black body looked as though it was the shape of a tree so she could avoid being seen.

Lazily, she lied down on the tree trunk with her legs swaying in the air. Her plan could finally be wound up perfectly.

She believed that things would be different after tonight. She was delighted. She could not help but crack her fingers to relieve some of the tension. She approved of herself, "Gu Xijiu, this is such a perfect fight! Keep it up!"

Full of delight, she felt like whirling in circles out of joy. Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder from behind, and she could hear a cold voice talking to her, "Keep it up."

The voice was so familiar.

She was so surprised by the voice that she fell off from the tree. What an utter surprise.

She had always been bold, but not reckless, but right at the moment when she fell, she did not attempt to struggle. When she finally reacted, her face was about to touch the ground.

Oh, no. Her face was about to be marred by a scar. She closed her eyes, instinctively.

She could feel a tight grip on her waist, followed by a reeling spin. When she opened her eyes, she was already standing on the ground, all well and unharmed. Standing buoyantly across her was The Lord, not further than one foot away. The proximity was too close. His presence was too strong.

Gu Xijiu could feel her heart skipping in her chest. Intuitively, she took two steps backward, "My… My Lord." She seldom stammered over her words.

The Lord cast a glance at her, "Are you nervous to see me? Feeling guilty?"

Gu Xijiu muttered in her heart. The way The Lord appeared suddenly in such a manner would terrify just about anyone. She was considered brave for not screaming out loud. What was there to be guilty about?

"My Lord, you must be joking. My Lord came and went like a shadow; I was caught off guard for a second."
