Minglong

Chapter 119 He is coming

This is a single chapter about the realm genre. It contains a lot of spoilers and limits the imagination, so I'd better delete it. It would be better to post it in the book club later or2!

----

The silver moon outside the window is like frost.

Lin Wanyi was dressed beautifully and sat at the round table, counting the accounts with a pen. There was a small lamp on the table and a food box with today's dinner in it. In order to prevent it from getting cold when Xie Jinhuan came over late, she kept it warm in the box.

In addition, Lin Wanyi had a stack of banknotes in her hand, some of which were her dowry, some were the silver given to her by Xie Jinhuan, and some were the silver she received from home.

She had nothing to do at home during the day and was thinking of buying some new clothes, but at noon, Master Bu suddenly came over and said he had an important job and wanted to borrow some money from her.

She asked what the job was, but Master Bu was still mysterious and didn't tell her. He only said that he would lend her 30,000 taels of silver first and give her three percent interest later.

Lin Wanyi would definitely want to refuse such a huge sum of money, but Queyue Villa not only taught her the method of cultivation, but also gave her a life-saving herb when her father was seriously ill.

The manor owner's kindness was there, and she couldn't refuse it directly, so she decided to discuss it with the man first and then make a decision.

After all, Xie Jinhuan was very capable. If something went wrong, he might be able to help her get the money back...

Is this the backbone I was talking about?

No wonder I’m always advised to find a capable man…

However, relying on a man obviously has its risks. Xie Jinhuan had the nerve to hold her to sleep yesterday, so she didn't want to do anything today...

If Zi Su doesn't come, I, your aunt, am afraid that I will...

dong dong~
While Lin Wanyi was daydreaming about this, there was a knock on the door.

She shuddered slightly with fear, quickly put away the account book, straightened her dress slightly, pretended to be dignified and virtuous, stood up and walked to the door:
"Why are you here just now? Why are you knocking on the door... Woo--!"

Before she could finish her words, the lecher in white clothes outside the door, as if they were newlyweds after a short separation, directly hugged her in his arms, lowered his head to cover her lips, and then tightened his waist, picked her up and walked into the house.

? !
Although it was not the first time that Lin Wanyi kissed someone, she was still confused because she was caught off guard!
By the time she reacted, she had been carried to the embroidery bed and fell backwards!

Thump~
What do you want to do, you pervert?!

Lin Wanyi was pressed on the bed, her legs dangling in the air. In panic, she had no choice but to bite Xie Jinhuan's tongue.

As a result, the stinky man on top of her reacted quickly, raised his head and dodged, covering her mouth:
"Shh~ Someone's following me."

"?"

Lin Wanyi immediately calmed down, but then she felt something was wrong:

"If someone is following you, just cut him into pieces. Why are you kissing me?!"

Xie Jinhuan had no idea whether 'Lady Dusk' was still following him, so he resorted to this desperate measure. Of course, there was also an element of intentionality in it.

At this time, he pressed the girl with glasses and said earnestly:

"I don't know if anyone is still outside. Let's put on a show. I'll pay attention to what's going on outside, and you pretend..."

He lowered his head and continued.

? ?
Is this an act?
You are serious about this!
Lin Wanyi was pressed on the quilt and kissed. Her face turned red as blood and she twisted her body but couldn't get away. After struggling for a while, Lin Wanyi could only suppress her shame and anger and chose to act like an ostrich, closing her eyes and not resisting or cooperating.

But when a man and a woman are being bullied like this, and they are so attached to each other, it is really hard for them to remain calm...

Lin Wanyi felt her teeth being knocked open, and her heart almost jumped out of her clothes. She endured it for a moment, and her hand unconsciously rested on her shoulder, and her breathing became turbulent.
"Huh~..."

Xie Jinhuan was very serious and secretly asked his ghost wife to investigate the situation outside. However, after waiting for half a minute, no one came near.

It seems that Lady Twilight was scared away...

Xie Jinhuan wanted to get up, but Wanyi was shy and seemed to be enjoying herself, so she didn't let him stop. It would obviously be inappropriate for him to stop...

"Huh~..."

Lin Wanyi was so dizzy from the kiss that her mind went blank. She didn't know how long it lasted until she realized that her bowl had been taken away. She was startled and quickly opened her eyes to check. Then she frantically pushed:

"You...don't go too far! Has the person left?"

Xie Jinhuan turned his head and looked towards the door, his expression solemn:

"I am not sure as well."

"you……"

Lin Wanyi is not a silly aunt, her eyes are slightly fierce:

"Take your hands away first!"

"Oh... sorry, I couldn't help myself."

Xie Jinhuan smiled softly, then stood up and looked outside the door.

"Thank you for your hard work. It's time for you to leave."

"You are simply..."

Lin Wanyi was almost melted by the kiss. She quickly sat up and straightened her clothes. She wanted to scold Xie Jinhuan, but she was afraid of being bullied again. So she hugged her chest instead, turned her head towards Xie Jinhuan, and looked angry.
"Humph……"

Xie Jinhuan didn't push any further, he stood up and walked to the table to open the lunch box:

"You prepared food for me again? I'll start eating first. I have to go out later."

Lin Wanyi's heart was still beating like a drum, and she was a little confused when she heard the voice:
"where are you going?"

"We have found traces of the Dark God Cult. We need to go and check out the situation."

"?"

Lin Wanyi took a deep breath and wanted to say, "I've been waiting for you all day...", but this was obviously not the right thing to say, so she changed it to a mixture of disdain and concern:

"You're just the princess's personal bodyguard. Why are you working so hard? Even if you have a heart for the right path, you still need to balance work and rest..."

Xie Jinhuan also wanted to have fun, but his father was being plotted against by the Hades Cult, so these people had to be killed:

"Don't worry, I'll be quick and I'll be back with you soon."

Lin Wanyi pursed her lips. Seeing that Xie Jinhuan was fine after the kiss, he started eating the food she prepared. She wanted to be angry but didn't know how to get angry. After sitting alone for a while, she stood up and came over:
"I won't cook for you tomorrow. Kind people are often bullied..."

Xie Jinhuan's eyes curved as he apologized softly:

"Someone really was following us just now. This won't happen again. Come, have some pickled radish..."

"What do you think I am?"

"Be my little lover, open your mouth, ah~"

? !
Lin Wanyi was so embarrassed by these shameless words that she wanted to hide her face and run away. She dodged left and right for a few times, but she couldn't stand Xie Jinhuan's soft and hard persuasion. In the end, she reluctantly opened her mouth and took it. Then her face turned red like an apple...

……

The dim candlelight illuminated several steaming side dishes on the table.

A man and a woman sat at a round table. The man ate heartily while the woman sat beside him dignified and virtuous. Although they didn't seem to be very affectionate, she still helped to pour a glass of wine from time to time. The scene looked like a husband who had been busy outside all day and was entertained by his shy new wife when he came home.

Lin Wanyi was very embarrassed at first, but Xie Jinhuan ate seriously and didn't touch her anymore except for teasing her. She gradually calmed down and poured the wine while saying softly:
"Xie Jinhuan, I...I want to discuss something with you."

Xie Jinhuan paused and looked at the plump and juicy girl with glasses beside him: "Let me propose marriage?"

"Tsk~ Who wants to marry you?"

Lin Wanyi glared, then frowned and said:
"It's serious business. My master contacted me today and asked for some money, with a three-tenths interest rate, but the amount is so large that I can't make up my mind..."

?

Xie Jinhuan felt that he had come back to the same situation after going around in circles. Fortunately, Wanyi didn't ask him to pay the balance first, otherwise the situation would have been stuck.

"Well...just give it to me. If Queyue Villa dares to extort money from you, I'll give them the entire ancestral hall...why are you hitting me?"

Lin Wanyi patted Xie Jinhuan on the shoulder and said, "Queyue Villa is my master's sect. How can you spread the name of the ancestral hall? The money is really gone. Just help me get it back..."

"no problem."

Lin Wanyi felt more at ease with a man's endorsement, and she helped pour another glass of wine...

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Xie Jinhuan walked out of the boudoir. Lin Wanyi held the door and watched him go, admonishing him:
"Be careful. I'll keep the door open for you. Come back early."

"Don't worry, I kill people very quickly."

Xie Jinhuan waved his hand, letting Wanyi go in first, then flew into the house, scanning the buildings along the way and asking:

"That Da Piaoliang won't still follow me, right?"

Ye Hongshang carried a small umbrella and surveyed the surrounding area:

"Not around here anyway."

Seeing this, Xie Jinhuan said nothing more, and quietly disappeared into the night, heading towards Ye Shirong's residence...
-
Outer city, Ye Shirong’s residence.

Although Yip Sai Wing was a baron, he appeared frugal and only bought a house in the outer city near the city wall, near Shuimen Street.

After midnight, the white-haired Yip Sai Wing, carrying a lunch box, walked around the corridor and came to the well in the backyard. He jumped into the bottom of the well and pressed the stone wall with his right hand. After a flash of light, the stone door moved away by itself, revealing a staircase leading down.

Wow~
A faint voice also came from the tunnel:

"Did you see that? I told you that Li Gongpu, that bastard, couldn't defeat Xie Jinhuan, that freak, in a fight. Not only was his bait eaten, but his entire fortune was also taken away..."

"Zhou Ming'an might have been killed by Xie Jinhuan, but since all the valuables in the room were looted, this couldn't have been done by Xie Jinhuan..."

"That's hard to say. To be honest, I was quite surprised that Li Gongpu didn't die last night. But Li Gongpu was obviously setting up a trap, so he probably won't survive tonight..."

……

Ye Shirong carried the lunch box and went deeper into the tunnel. After a while, he arrived at a basement.

The basement was filled with the smell of medicine. Two beds were pushed together, with dice and miscellaneous books on top to pass the time.

After a few days of recuperation, He Can was able to move around. At this moment, he placed one hand on his knee and was making alarmist statements in a vivid and dramatic manner.

The incense master Zhang Chu still had bandages on his waist and abdomen wounds. He had nothing to do while recuperating and was also speculating about Xie Jinhuan's next move.

Seeing Ye Shirong coming in, He Can quickly sat up straight:

"Mr. Ye, what did Xie Jinhuan do today?"

Zhang Chu also turned around, a little curious.

Yip Sai Wing put down the lunch box and did not disappoint the two of them:

"Just now in Linde Hall, Xie Jinhuan played a piece of Nuo music, his murderous aura astonishing everyone, and he slapped the Northern Zhou envoy in the face, earning him a generous reward from the emperor. At this rate, this guy is truly unstoppable."

Zhang Chu had heard all sorts of news over the past two days, and he felt like he was out of his mind to think of going to the Golden Tower to assassinate such a bastard. He frowned and said,
"This boy is not only skilled in martial arts and a god-like hunter, but he also knows music? I remember Nuo music, it seems to be a unique skill of the witchcraft ritual lineage..."

When He Can heard this, he slapped his forehead:
"Right. Before the incident at the Peony Pond, my master seemed to have mentioned that Xie Jinhuan's confidante might be from Queyue Villa. Xie Jinhuan's origins are mysterious, yet he possesses extraordinary abilities. Do you think he might be a disciple of Patriarch Sikong, hoping to rely on him to re-enter the Central Plains?"

Ye Shirong sat down in front of him. "I've had the sect check and found out he's not one of Patriarch Sikong's men. With so many abilities, it seems he could only come from the Hidden Immortal Sect. This boy is too unpredictable. The best way to deal with him is to avoid alerting him and let him fight Li Gongpu."

He Can shook his head: "Xie Jinhuan is a very evil man. I'm betting ten taels of silver that Li Gongpu won't survive tonight."

Ye Shirong frowned and said, "Xie Jinhuan has won the favor of His Majesty today. Li Gongpu seems to be unable to control his power and might even have murderous intentions. It's not certain who will kill whom first."

"Then I'll have a bet with Master Ye to see who dies first..."

Zhang Chu waved his hand and changed the subject:

"How are the arrangements for the Blood Demon Pill going?"

Ye Shirong ignored He Can and thought for a moment before saying:

"Everything is going smoothly at the moment. The Third Master is personally in charge, and he's even laying traps in a few places, so there shouldn't be any problems. Now that you've rested, come over and lend a hand..."

He Can just opened his lunch box and when he heard this he leaned over and said:

"How about I go and help too? Experience gained from doing bad things is still experience. I'll have to rely on the church's protection in the future, so I have to give them a chance to show off their merits."

Ye Shirong shook his head:
"You are not a disciple of the Dark God Sect, but a disciple of Taishu Dan. As the saying goes, like master, like disciple..."

He Can said solemnly, "I am being dragged down by my master's reputation. How about this: from now on, Tai Shudan and I will sever our master-disciple relationship, and I will avenge my master's murder in my next life..."

"That's the kind of person Tai Shudan is. It seems you've learned a lot..."

"Hey?"

……

The three of them chatted for a while, then Yip Sai Wing put away his cutlery, got up and left the basement.

Seeing that he couldn't rely on Master Ye, He Can looked at his fellow sufferers:
"Master Zhang, let's sleep in the same bed together for a few days. You should be able to see what my personality is like..."

Zhang Chu nodded. "Those who follow the righteous path are afraid of death, those who follow the evil path are hesitant, and those who follow the demon path think they are still human, but they do nothing human."

"Hey?"

He Can opened his mouth, but before he could form a rebuttal, he heard a voice from above:
Boom——

The sound of bricks and stones exploding!

There was dead silence in the basement.

Zhang Chu quickly picked up the sword beside the bed and looked up:
"It's exposed up there?!"

He Can frowned, "Not really. Maybe it's just Xie Jinhuan coming to kill him."

"How could he possibly come here?"

"I also want to know how he could have ended up in the corpse pit and the gambling boat. Where's the back door?"

"what?"
