Sept nuits de neige

Chapitre 27

Nineteen whistled, "Kill you? Why would I kill you? What good would it do me?" She was in high spirits, and her speech unconsciously became rude, mimicking the tone of a shrew from the streets, finding it incredibly satisfying. "Hahahaha, karma strikes, and it'll come fast! I told you not to fall into my hands, and look, look, this is karma coming back to haunt you!"

"I don't owe you any favors, just kill me." Seeing her getting more and more excited, Tian Shu simply closed his eyes, letting her do whatever she wanted. With his eyes closed, Tian Shu's interest in the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China diminished. However, hearing the disdain in his tone filled him with anger again.

"Fine! You don't owe me any favors. I rescued you so I could torture you!"

Someone gave a slight smirk, clearly unconvinced.

"I'm going to smear your face, hang you from a tree, strip you naked, and beat you up. I'll gouge out your eyes, cut off your limbs, and sell you to the Beggars' Guild to be a beggar!" Nineteen said angrily, gesturing as he spoke.

Tian Shu said indifferently, "Make your move."

Nineteen grabbed a tree branch: "You think I wouldn't dare!?"

Tian Shu remained silent.

Nineteen, feeling awkward, said, "Fine, I really don't dare."

However, thinking about it again, he felt indignant and grabbed Tian Shu by the collar, lifting him up: "Narcissistic perverted killer!"

"Hmm?" Tian Shu slowly opened his eyes, having already accepted the form of address.

"I'm going to ravage you right now!" she grinned maliciously, giving Tian Shu a bad feeling.

Sure enough, slender, dark claws emerged, ready to untie his belt.

"What are you going to do?" A vein throbbed slightly on Tian Shu's forehead as he met Nineteen's wicked smile, and his heart trembled involuntarily. In the blink of an eye, the brocade robe was removed. Even though the moonlight was dim and he couldn't see clearly, his fair skin was still faintly visible. At this moment, the thorn in his shoulder had been pulled out, but the blood was still flowing.

"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder they're brothers, both with such delicate skin, feels so good!" Nineteen chuckled mischievously, applying pressure to his acupoints to stop the bleeding, and then giving his stomach a hard pinch. Tian Shu watched helplessly as she carried his clothes behind a large tree, but unfortunately, his breathing was erratic, and he couldn't move. After a while, Nineteen emerged from behind the tree, wearing his robe. The robe was large and loosely draped over her body, making her look like she was wearing a flour sack.

"He's so handsome, he'd look good even dressed as a woman!" An irrepressible smile spread across his eyes and brows. The pleasure of playing a prank made his injuries feel less painful. Nineteen conjured up his outer robe from behind and haphazardly draped it over Tian Shu's body.

"Wearing women's clothes!" Tian Shu was so angry her nostrils flared. "Take them off!"

"Oh dear, I'm so scared!" Nineteen feigned a look of terror and reached out to untie his hair tie. "If you're going to pretend, you should dress up from head to toe!"

She chuckled as she picked up a twig from the ground, playfully tossing Tian Shu's dark hair. She was very close, her delicate, youthful fragrance wafting into his nostrils, but Tian Shu felt no excitement whatsoever; his mind was solely focused on how to torment this damned woman!

"Hehehehe, don't let my usual carefree attitude fool you. I'm quite skilled at combing hair!" She moved behind him, using her five fingers as a comb to carefully comb his hair, chanting: "One comb to the end, two combs until white hair reaches the eyebrows, three combs until children and grandchildren cover the ground."

As she sang, her voice gradually faded.

I wonder if Xu Ziqing and Gu Yan will grow old together, and if they will have many children and grandchildren.

She was suddenly filled with immense despair. A year later, when she returned to Xiaoyao Manor, Gu Yan might already be pregnant.

A tear slid down her cheek without warning, landing on Tian Shu's shoulder. Shi Jiu was startled and hastily wiped it away. However, the tears continued to fall uncontrollably.

"Why are you crying?" She kept making a fuss and crying, leaving Tian Shu completely baffled.

"What's it to you! You narcissistic psychopath!"

"..."

"Why aren't you saying anything, you bastard? It's just the two of us now. I don't have the strength to carry you, and we can't get out of the woods. What are we going to do?!"

"Go on your own," Tian Shu said calmly. "I didn't ask you to save me."

Nineteen gritted her teeth and wiped away her tears. She used seven or eight twigs to coil Tian Shu's hair into a bun that looked like he had horns on his head. Then she took out a box of rouge from her bosom and, ignoring the angry look on someone's face, carefully applied it to his face.

"Alright!" Mission accomplished. Looking at Tian Shu, who looked like a monkey's bottom, Nineteen truly burst into laughter through her tears. "Thank you so much, I'm much happier now!"

Tian Shu was on the verge of tears, realizing that trying to cheer her up like this was not something he wanted to do!

She bounced around, still bearing her injuries, and leaned against a tree, slowly sitting down next to Tian Shu. The stars in the sky twinkled and blinked, so beautiful. Her eyelids felt heavy, slowly trying to droop, but the occasional wolf howls in her ears kept her from falling asleep.

Tian Shu watched her head nod slowly, secretly channeling his inner energy, hoping that the chaotic energy in her meridians would return to its original state quickly. He slowly raised his head, gazing at the starry sky, a bitter smile playing on his lips.

Tianxiu, you didn't hesitate to harm me again just because you were afraid I would kill her.

Perhaps due to excessive blood loss and exhaustion, Nineteen finally succumbed to sleep, her soft body leaning against Tian Shu's shoulder, which inexplicably made him stiffen. Never before had a woman dared to be so close to him! And never before had a woman dared to tease him like this!

His inner energy surged slowly, and the chaotic energy coursing through his meridians finally stabilized. Tian Shu gently pushed Nineteen away, his right hand forming a blade, and slowly slashed towards her neck. Nineteen remained unconscious, completely unaware that the Black and White Impermanence were already standing beside her.

His outstretched hand stopped the instant it touched her skin. Tian Shu looked at the red line on her neck, snapped it off with his fingers, took out the jade pendant, and put it in his pocket.

Next time, the next time I meet you, I won't be so lucky.

A chilling smile played on his lips as he removed his woman's outer garment, twisted it into a rope, and bound Nineteen's hands behind his back, securing them tightly.

With so many wolves on the mountain, he was interested to see who was faster, Shen Yuntan or those bloodthirsty beasts.

The mountain forest was slightly cool on a summer night, but he didn't care. Perhaps he disdained to compete with Nineteen for clothes, so he walked out of the forest with his upper body bare.

His head was still held high, and his back was still straight.

He still maintained his arrogant demeanor.

However, he forgot about the long and short horns on his head and the red and black makeup on his face.

Nineteen didn't stay unconscious for long before opening his eyes. He was shocked to find his hands tied, and muttered "pervert" under his breath before saying nothing more.

Significant blood loss and hunger left her too weak to continue cursing.

What exactly is this place?

Nineteen looked at the moon in the sky and suddenly realized that at this time, Master should have finished reading and was preparing to sleep. Master liked to eat a bowl of millet porridge before bed, which Nineteen used to cook for him. She wondered if the porridge that Junior Sister Gu Yan cooked for him now would suit his taste.

She suddenly chuckled. Gu Yan was newly married; why would her master ask her to cook porridge? Perhaps it was that mud monkey, Tian Man, who cooked it. She hadn't known if that mud monkey had caused any more trouble while she was away. Gu Yan and Xu Ziqing didn't like him, and she wondered if he had embarrassed her.
