Kapitel 70

"No need," Leyan said. "Um... could I see Hua Nu?"

“No,” she replied.

"Why?"

"Because she has sworn never to see anyone again."

"Why?"

“Because… she’s no longer human.” Yan Jieyu suddenly moved closer and gently blew a breeze into her ear.

"What do you mean?" Le Yan frowned.

“If it’s not human, then it must be a ghost.” Yan Jieyu smiled faintly. “Young master, aren’t you supposed to be incredibly intelligent? How come you couldn’t even tell?” Le Yan’s heart skipped a beat: Hua Nu is dead?

A knock sounded on the door.

Yan Jieyu frowned, left Leyan's side, and went outside.

The door closed behind her.

Le Yan pricked up her ears and heard a low voice saying at the door:

"...They've arrived?"

"yes……"

A strange conversation ensued. Then the person left.

She lay in bed, quickly sorting out her thoughts.

Hua Nu is dead? What a coincidence... No... she wouldn't believe it if she hadn't seen the body with her own eyes.

I only saw the land yesterday.

That person was a woman? She was looking at Chu Gexing with such intense eyes, did she think she was blind? Chu Gexing had deliberately diverted her attention; it was clear there was something between them.

Could these two be lovers? No, that's unlikely, judging from Chu Gexing's disgusted attitude towards that person. They're practically enemies.

However, that woman seemed to be burning with passion for Chu Gexing.

How could he have suddenly died?

Moreover, she was a courtesan. Could it be that she was a karmic debt Chu Gexing incurred from visiting brothels in the past, and then turned her back on him?

Oh, this explanation seems to fit the current situation a bit better: the so-called devoted woman and unfaithful man.

However, Chu Gexing frequented brothels...

Le Yan's mind raced; something seemed amiss.

Given that person's obsessive-compulsive disorder and aloofness, would he even visit a brothel?

Okay, let's assume he came here to browse... So, will he come back?

Startled by this thought, Le Yan's body stiffened: No. Safety first, I must leave immediately.

She had indeed been drugged by the Love-Stealing Pavilion. Fortunately, her skills were profound, so she managed to suppress it, only pretending to have fallen for the trap, hoping to lure Yan Jieyu into telling the truth when she was off guard.

Unexpectedly, she saw through the flaw. The woman was indeed no ordinary person, and in an instant, she struck several major acupoints all over her body.

However, she was skilled and daring, and was not afraid of her. Although Yan Jieyu's acupoint striking skills were not bad, she was also able to open the acupoints on her own in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, thanks to the martial arts secrets of Tianmiao Peak.

Leyan is confident in this.

Unfortunately, I feel a little uneasy at this moment.

I had a bad feeling.

As he was channeling his inner energy to open his acupoints, he heard faint footsteps, one after another, slowly approaching the room.

Le Yan was shocked, her heart pounding wildly.

She used all her strength to release the acupoints as much as possible, and sweat appeared on her forehead as she exerted herself to the fullest.

Just then, the door suddenly burst open.

A distinguished figure appeared silently and proudly at the doorway.

Dragon and Tiger Fight in the Capital Chapter 85 Once Upon a Time

Tang Leyan lay on the bed, her heart pounding, hoping that the person wouldn't come in, that even a moment later would be better.

While trying to force his internal energy to release the acupoints, one, two... only one more was left.

The man seemed to see through her thoughts, and took steps as softly as a cat, seemingly slow but actually extremely fast.

Le Yan gave a low hum, exerted her strength to break through the last acupoint, and suddenly tried to jump off the bed.

The man flicked his fingers, and something he was holding in his hand struck her chest directly.

Le Yan had just exerted her strength to release her acupoints and was still recovering, so she was a little clumsy. She felt something bump into her chest, and she felt a little short of breath. Her vision went black, and as her body was falling, the person stepped forward, stretched out his arms, and caught her in his embrace.

Before she could even open her eyes and see clearly, she smelled a strange, faint fragrance wafting out.

A silent lament ran through her mind. For a moment, she wished she could keep her eyes closed forever, so she would never have to face this person again.

"What, are you going to act like a spoiled brat? Or is my embrace so comfortable that you don't want to move at all?" The man seemed determined not to let her go, chuckling softly, clearly in a tone that was deliberately looking forward to a good show.

She had originally decided to play dead, since nothing good would happen to her once she fell into his hands.

It's always the same.

"I heard that a notorious dine-and-dash hogger came to the restaurant today, but unfortunately, he was subdued by the owner. With Yan Jieyu's methods, he can probably be stripped and sold after a bit. I wonder which young master is so lucky that he came to see something unusual. I really didn't expect this..." He sighed softly, "Junior sister, didn't I tell you that if you want him, come find me."

"Chu Gexing!" Le Yan's eyes widened, initially furious. But when she opened them and met the smiling eyes of the person before her, those peach blossom eyes were incredibly captivating. So close, yet there seemed to be a long-lost sense of gentleness, causing her to momentarily lose her composure.

Chu Gexing was teasing her, but talking to himself was ultimately boring. Fortunately, he understood her personality; it wasn't easy for her to hold back. He just kept finding ways to poke at her sore spots, and she definitely wouldn't be able to endure it for long. Therefore, the process of teasing her was quite interesting.

Unexpectedly, she couldn't hold on so quickly, which surprised Chu Gexing. Suddenly seeing those black eyes right in front of him, her small face filled with a hint of grievance and resentment, this brief eye contact left him feeling bewildered.

There was a time when she would sit on my lap with adoration, whispering sweet nothings to me.

There was a time when I clung to him so tightly. Just like today, I nestled obediently beside him, like a cat afraid of the cold.

The mountaintop was covered in snow and extremely cold. Yet, for just one sentence he once uttered, she risked her life to climb the cliff edge, all to retrieve the legendary Earth Crystal Lotus.

How foolish! People who can't even tell the difference between men and women are so blindly oblivious.

He told himself that the flutter in his heart was because he was moved by this person's foolishness, when he saw her small hand bleeding profusely. She was awake in the middle of the night and knocked on his door to wake him up to admire the lotus flowers. He was stunned for a while before yawning and kicking her out of the room.

If she's truly good to someone, it's the kind of good that comes from the bottom of her heart.

However, the kindness she once showed him is now in the past, frozen in the cold, desolate place of Tianmiao Peak.

And who will she be so kind to in the future?

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel a tightness in my chest, as if a tiny insect called jealousy was wriggling restlessly.

At this moment, the look in her eyes was filled with nothing but hatred and a cunning that seemed to have no basis in reality.

It's like a wary kitten that always unconsciously stretches out its claws, bares its teeth, and growls at him.

It made his teeth itch with envy.

I want to reach out and give her a good beating, but I also want to throw her aside and never pay her any more attention.

But every time this happens, we inevitably run into each other.

Neither of his two extreme choices will be achieved.

As he was patrolling, he heard a commotion and heard someone say, "That young master with the golden fan has been captured by the landlord..." He immediately stopped in his tracks.

He knew she had received the golden fan as a gift from the emperor.

The original one was taken by the emperor.

He thought she wouldn't be so bold as to visit a brothel.

And they shopped there so ostentatiously.

In the blink of an eye, he seemed to understand something, and his eyes turned cold.

He thought to himself that he should let Yan Jieyu handle it. A girl like her, who was so arrogant and ignorant, deserved to suffer a bit.

But can Yan Jieyu really control her?

Half out of unease and half driven by some inexplicable emotion, he finally rode his horse to the Tower of Love.

His fingers poked and prodded all over her body.

Needless to say, several more acupoints were added to prevent her from breaking through her own acupoints again.

"What are you doing? Taking advantage of me!" Tang Leyan frowned and shouted.

Why do I keep running into this person everywhere? Did she forget to check the almanac before going out today?

"Shh!" He reached out and gently touched his lips, a gesture that was extremely seductive.

"Get out of here! Get out of here! Get out of here!" She didn't bother to hide it anymore, closing her eyes and frowning as she shouted fiercely.

"If you don't want me to shut you up, then shut up." He sneered.

She immediately shut up.

His threats are always effective.

Chu Gexing flicked his cloak and sat down on the edge of the bed: "Leyan, what brings you here?"

"None of your business," she muttered under her breath, rolling her eyes.

"If you don't answer my question, I'll leave you here. I heard there's a long line downstairs waiting to buy you..."

Even though she knew he was exaggerating, Le Yan was still taken aback.

"Chu Gexing, you're not going to leave me here, are you?" He blinked.

"Maybe you're really rude to me."

"I was in a bad mood just now."

"And now?"

"I feel better now."

"So good." He sighed, turning to look at her. Her little face seemed to have regained its usual obedient and gentle look. He couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek. It was a little chubby, and the texture was quite nice.
