Lan Yin Bi Yue Extra Chapters - Chapter 89

Chapter 89

Ye Kongying turned around, looking puzzled, and said, "What do those women have to do with me? They haven't offended me, and I'm not here to be a chivalrous knight. Just because I'm here, does that mean I have to arrange their future? Humph, I never ask others to arrange things for me, and naturally I won't arrange things for others. Right now, these bandits are all unconscious. Whether they stay or leave, whether they remain bandits or civilians, whether they live or die, it's their own choice and their own responsibility."

After hearing these words, Lan Qi and Ming Er exchanged a glance, and then each gave a meaningful smile.

Lan Qi looked at Ye Kongying, a strong sense of amusement rising in his green eyes, and said, "Miss Ye's words are very much to my liking. I will give you this Rhinoceros Moon Pearl." With that, he flicked his hand, and the pearl flew towards Ye Kongying.

Ye Kongying quickly reached out and caught it, then looked at the priceless pearl in her hand, and then at Lan Qishao opposite her, somewhat surprised and doubtful, "You just gave me this pearl like that?"

"Of course," Lan Qi replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ye Kongying hurriedly put the bead into her bosom as if afraid that Lan Qi would change her mind. After putting the bead away, she looked at Lan Qi, thought for a moment, and then said, "Don't think that just because you gave me the Rhinoceros Moon Bead I don't want your eyes anymore. Let me tell you, one day I will definitely get your eyes back."

"Hahaha..." Lan Qi laughed loudly upon hearing this, and at the same time, he leaped up and instantly reached the top of the village. With a few more leaps, he was already far away, leaving only his voice echoing in the ears, "If you have the ability, come and take it. I'll be waiting."

"Just you wait, I'm going to take your eyes!" Ye Kongying shouted at the now-vanished figure in mid-air.

Behind him, Ming Er smiled faintly and said nothing more. Seeing Ye Kongying leave, he also took a step to follow. As he turned and moved, he suddenly turned his head slightly, and half of a beautiful face appeared behind a pillar two zhang away. It was the woman he had just seen. Her beautiful eyes were filled with hope and longing. The second young master did not stop and calmly turned his head to leave.

After leaving the mountain stronghold, Ye Kongying and Ming Er traveled south. Along the way, Ye Kongying did not forget her life's most important task—collecting a unique treasure. However, Ye Kongying's treasure hunt was not smooth, as she often ran into Lan Qishao.

For example, in Juncheng, Ye Kongying overheard several elderly people in a teahouse discussing the "Snow Lake Azure Jade," a treasured jade passed down through generations of the prestigious Yun family. That very night, she decided to sneak into the Yun family's residence. However, when she arrived, she only saw Lan Qishao standing on the high rooftop, admiring a beautiful jade in his hand under the bright moonlight. The jade was oval-shaped, white as snow, and crystal clear, clearly a top-grade piece. But what was most striking was its center—a ring of pale turquoise that, under the moonlight, resembled a gently flowing pool of turquoise water, a truly extraordinary sight.

Lan Qishao didn't just hand over this precious jade.

For example, the Lin family in Xiangcheng possesses an antique "Azure Dragon Inkstone." The inkstone is carved with dragons, and after grinding ink, a dragon appears to swim in the ink pool—a truly magical sight. So Ye Kongying secretly visited the Lin family at night. But when she arrived, she found Lan Qishao painting in the Lin family's study. He was painting a dragon that looked more like a snake, and in front of him was an ancient inkstone, its ink pool rippling with the azure dragon.

Naturally, Lan Qishao did not simply hand over this ancient inkstone.

For example...

For example...

Ye Kongying encountered Lan Qishao so many times that she would become extremely nervous every time she learned of a treasure. She would start searching for treasures earlier and earlier each time, and eventually she would even take action before dusk. However, she was always one step too late for Lan Qishao.

It's easy to imagine how annoyed and frustrated Miss Ye must have been whenever she saw Lan Qishao holding his treasures. Her only consolation was that the first treasure, "The Immortal," was still under her control.

Of course, besides their chance encounters on this treasure hunt, Lan Qishao also met them by chance in other places.

Miss Ye had no interest in gold and silver and disdained to steal them, so she was short of money. She had to eat and sleep in the open along the way, and even when she finally managed to find a restaurant or inn, she would always choose the cheapest one.

So, while they ate their dry rations in the shade under the scorching sun, Lan Qi Shao leisurely passed by them in a comfortable carriage, sipping fragrant tea and enjoying sweet fruit.

Or perhaps, as they walked wearily down the street at dusk, their feet aching, their legs sore, and their spirits exhausted, a magnificent window of a splendid building opened, and Lan Qishao, with a beautiful woman in his left hand and fine wine in his right, leaned lazily against a cool couch by the window, greeting them with a smile: "Second Young Master, Miss Ye, we meet again."

…………

With so many chance encounters, Miss Ye, who is new to the martial arts world and doesn't know Lan Qishao's character, might not fully understand, but the Second Young Master is perfectly clear-headed. He was "kidnapped" from the Ming family by Ye Kongying because he was bored, while Lan Qishao followed along just to watch the show and have some fun, to relieve his boredom.

To be honest, the Second Young Master found Miss Ye's personality, words, and actions quite interesting throughout the journey, much more so than staying at the Ming family's residence, but...

That night, the Second Young Master and Miss Ye stayed at an inn in Mirror City. Two rooms with breakfast cost only five silver coins, an unprecedentedly cheap price, and of course, an unprecedentedly simple one. According to the Second Young Master's observations along the way, Miss Ye was obsessed with treasures but was also very stingy, basically saving money wherever possible and avoiding spending money whenever possible.

Given that the Second Young Master had been very cooperative throughout the journey, Miss Ye felt reassured and decided that each of them would have their own room. After the Second Young Master watched Miss Ye eat her dinner, she returned to her room and fell asleep almost immediately upon lying down on the bed. The Second Young Master, on the other hand, had a waiter fetch a bucket of hot water, washed up, and then rested. He resolutely refused to use the bed and bedding, which were stained with oil and had been slept on by countless others. Basically, throughout the journey, if the room had a couch, the Second Young Master would dust it off and make do for the night; if not, he would choose a chair and sit in meditation for the night.

In the middle of the night, the second young master lay on his couch when he suddenly heard a soft squeaking sound. He couldn't help but open his eyes and sit up. Moonlight streamed in through the window, and thanks to his exceptional eyesight, he clearly saw a large rat scurry across the floor, leap onto the table in a flash, then dart onto the bed, and disappear in a flash...

In an instant, the Second Young Master, who should have lost his martial arts skills after Miss Ye sealed five major acupoints, suddenly leaped up!

That leap was as fast as a flying arrow, and as high as it reached the roof!

Just as he was about to crash into the roof, just as he was about to suffer head injuries—

Fortunately, the second young master is quite skilled!

He twisted in mid-air (though the posture was awkward) to avoid the roof, then flipped over (almost twisting his waist) and landed lightly without making a sound.

Inside the room, the second young master stood stiffly, his face pale and his eyes glazed over.

That look could be described as panic, or even fear.

In short, as the Second Young Master's gaze swept over the floor, table, and bed where the rats had just crawled, his stunningly handsome face, which was revered by the world as a "banished immortal," grew paler and paler. The squeaking and smacking sounds of rats gnawing on things that kept coming from the room made the Second Young Master's hair stand on end, and his stomach, which was weak from hunger, churned in waves.

The floor was crawled on by rats, the table was crawled on by rats, the bed was crawled on by rats...

So this couch has been crawled on by rats, this chair has been crawled on by rats, this entire room has been crawled on by rats, this inn is crawled on by rats everywhere...

In an instant—

In the mind—

In my eyes—

In the ear—

Everywhere you look, there are the shadows of mice, and the squeaking of mice.

The second young master trembled, then suddenly raised his hand and flicked his sleeve. A gust of wind shot out, and the window opened silently. Then, in a flash, the second young master leaped out of the window, which closed silently again.

The second young master flew out of the inn, over the long street, over the rooftops, and finally stopped atop a tall building in the city. Under the moonlight, the three large, painted characters "Li Fang Ge" could be seen on the plaque above the building. The second young master lightly landed inside the building, then lightly opened a window, and then lightly flew in again.

This room is completely different from the room where the second young master was just now.

The room was draped with sheer, ethereal gauze, and the floor was covered with a thick, beautiful brocade carpet. A round pearwood table sat in the room, upon which were bowls of brightly colored and fragrant fruits and pastries. On a table to the right were a jade teapot and a red jade teacup. On a low sandalwood table to the left were a white jade plate and an incense burner with a gold-carved dragon. On the jade plate, a luminous pearl covered with black silk emitted a faint, hazy glow. Smoke curled from the incense burner, releasing a delicate fragrance. In front of them was a gauze screen depicting white snow and red plum blossoms. Behind the screen, a low-hanging drapery concealed someone sleeping peacefully.

This room is incredibly luxurious, and it also has a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere that inspires romantic thoughts.

However, the Second Young Master harbored no lustful thoughts at the moment. Upon entering the room, he felt as comfortable as if he had been washed clean of worldly dust by the clear waters of a celestial lake. After relaxing his mind, he first drank a cup of fragrant tea from the jade teapot using the red jade teacup, and then sat down at the table to slowly enjoy the fruit and pastries on the table. The Second Young Master had not had a decent meal in a long time, so he ate a little more than usual. Of course, his manner was far from that of a wolf down his food; it was absolutely elegant and refined.

"Hehe, so the Second Young Master is choosing to be a rat instead of a prisoner?" someone chuckled from inside the tent.

Upon hearing the word "rat," the second young master immediately lost his appetite and returned the fruit that was offered to his mouth.

"Or perhaps, Second Young Master has had enough of being a prisoner and wants to try what it's like to be a flower thief?" the person in the tent continued to tease.

The second young master remained deaf to his words. He hadn't slept well on the journey, so after eating and drinking his fill, he felt drowsy. He poured himself a cup of tea to rinse his mouth, then got up, turned around the gauze screen, and lifted the bed curtains. He saw Lan Qi leaning against the headboard, a faint smile on her lips, her emerald eyes filled with a bewitching charm. She wore a white robe, her long, dark hair cascading down her back and onto the bed. Her jade-like face was half-hidden in the hazy pearly light, her languid demeanor as alluring as a painting. Even the usually cold and indifferent second young master, now weary and exhausted, felt his heart pound and his mind wander.

With a gentle release, the bed curtains fluttered down behind him. He smiled warmly and said, "Seventh Young Master often says that we have shared hardships and have a deep bond. I'm sure you wouldn't mind staying here for the night." As he spoke, the Second Young Master gently and nimbly pushed Lan Qi inside, clearing half the bed. He then took off his shoes and socks, loosened his outer garment, and lay down. The bed beneath him was soft and clean, so comfortable that the Second Young Master's consciousness instantly became half-drowsy.

Lan Qi hadn't expected the gentle and refined Second Young Master Ming to be so impolite, so she was momentarily stunned when she was pushed onto the bed. By the time she reacted, Ming Er was already lying down and sleeping comfortably. The Seventh Young Master looked at Ming Er, who was sleeping with his eyes closed beside him, his emerald eyes darting around. Then, a wicked smile curled at the corner of his lips as he leaned close to Ming Er's ear and whispered, "Second Young Master, you've eaten my food and are sleeping in my bed. How will you repay me?"

Ming Er closed his eyes and ignored him.

Lan Qi moved even closer and said softly and seductively, "How about you repay me with your body and submit to this young master?"

Ming Er opened his eyes, then turned around, bringing the two even closer together, face to face, their breaths mingling. The Second Young Master smiled, a smile so tender and lingering, and asked, "Who ultimately yielded to whom?"

"Of course, it's Second Young Master who gave in to me." The Second Young Master's smile gave Lan Qi a strange feeling.

"Oh?" Something seemed to flash in Ming Er's eyes, but it was too fast for Lan Qi to see clearly. Suddenly Ming Er moved, and Lan Qi reflexively reached out, not knowing whether to grab or push. She only knew that as soon as her palm touched a warm body, she felt dizzy and then her head slammed onto the pillow. Fortunately, the pillow was soft enough, but the heavy weight of someone pressing on her chest made her feel a suffocating pain.

"Does Seventh Young Master know who has submitted to whom at this moment?" Ming Er's smile remained gentle and elegant, but his breathing had become unsteady.

Lan Qi looked at Ming Er above her. She knew their situation perfectly well, but how could she easily admit defeat? Besides, she had long harbored a provocative and antagonistic attitude towards Ming Er. So, the smile on her stunningly beautiful face became even sweeter and more alluring. She softly uttered, "How will you know if you don't try?" With that, she pushed down with her waist, pushed with her hands, and pressed down with her legs, instantly turning the world upside down so that Lan Qi was on top and Ming Er was on the bottom.

With this sudden turn, Ming Er's expression changed abruptly, and his eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly.

"Second Young Master, shall we give it a try?" Lan Qi smiled and leaned closer.

"Seventh Young Master, are you sure you want to try?" Ming Er looked at the pair of emerald eyes that were getting closer and closer.

"Of course." Lan Qi's breath was almost touching his nose.

Their faces drew closer and closer, their eyes fixed on each other, each trying to see a hint of retreat in the other's gaze. But neither was willing to back down, and they drew ever closer until their lips were about to touch.

Danger!

A fleeting thought ignited in their minds, and the two sprang into action instantly—

Ming Er stepped on the ground.

Lan Qi shrank his neck.

then--

Ming Er's lips pressed against Lan Qi's blue eyes.

Lan Qi's lips landed on Ming Er's neck.

In an instant—

A breath stopped.

One heartbeat stopped.

Neither of them could move.

…………

They didn't know how much time had passed; it seemed like only a moment, yet also like ten thousand years. At the same time, they let go of each other's hands. Lan Qi rolled over and lay flat on her back, while Ming Er stirred. Their eyes were fixed on the ceiling, and all they could hear was the pounding of their hearts.

Both young men were handsome and had many admirers, but apart from their "bump" and "fight" on the deserted island of Dongming, they never had any close contact with anyone. The second young master was extremely chaste and regarded everyone else as dust, while Lan Qi had a reputation for being a romantic but had no romantic affairs.

Tonight, this seemingly intentional yet unintentional touch left both of them in a state of utter confusion, unable to discern whether they felt joy, annoyance, happiness, anger, shame, or resentment. These two, who could manipulate the entire martial arts world at will, were now as flustered and bewildered as teenagers.

After a long while, Lan Qi muttered, "A cowardly scoundrel."

Ming Er retorted with "Likewise."

They glanced at each other, then chuckled, half self-deprecatingly, before lying down in their most comfortable positions and closing their eyes.

"Hmph, try again next time, I'll definitely win." Lan Qi chuckled.

"I'll definitely keep you company. We'll see," Ming Er replied with a smile.

The room fell silent, with only the luminous pearl emitting a soft glow and the incense burner releasing wisps of fragrance.

Miss Ye woke up early and knocked on the door next door, but no one answered after knocking for a while. So she kicked the door open, only to find the room empty. Miss Ye was stunned. She questioned the innkeeper and waiter, but they both said they didn't know where the guest had gone. Miss Ye searched the inn again but still couldn't find Ming Er. She was utterly puzzled; where had Young Master Ming Er gone?

Could he have escaped? The thought had barely crossed her mind when Miss Ye dismissed it. If the Second Young Master truly wanted to escape, he wouldn't have waited until now. Besides, he had been subdued by her unique methods; to leave now would be tantamount to throwing away his own life.

Someone kidnapped the Second Young Master? That seems unlikely. She sleeps right next door, and with her martial arts skills, it's impossible for someone to approach her without her noticing. Only a master martial artist could come and go so silently, but such people are extremely rare in the martial arts world, and they are all people of extraordinary status; they wouldn't do such a thing.

So, did Lan Qishao take him away? That's unlikely. With Lan Qishao's martial arts skills, taking him away wouldn't be a problem, but they've met countless times along the way. If he really intended to, he would have taken him away long ago, instead of waiting until now.

Miss Ye couldn't figure out where the second young master had gone, but decided to wait at the inn for the time being.

A moment passed.

Another moment has passed.

Soon, an hour had passed.

Miss Ye, waiting anxiously at the inn, was growing impatient. The time for the acupressure was fast approaching; if he didn't return soon, he would die from blood reversal! The thought of the excruciating pain of blood reversal and the horrific nature of his death filled Miss Ye with panic. What if the Second Young Master's enemies had kidnapped him…? This thought made Miss Ye unable to sit still any longer; she had to go find the Second Young Master.
