Singing with a Sword

The following is the main text of the novel "{?$article_title?}" ({?$jieqi_title?}) provided by {?$jieqi_sitename?}. Please enjoy! Yi Ranxiao gripped He Er's neck, holding him up, but didn't kill him immediately. He wanted this arrogant and domineering lackey to experience a terrifying fear! He wanted him to clearly know the pain of waiting for death!

He Er stared wide-eyed at Yi Ranxiao, saying incredulously, "You...when did you become so...so strong?"

A smile suddenly appeared on Xiao's cold face. "He Er, you never thought you'd end up like this!" He Er looked at that smile and felt even more terrified. He stammered, "Ah San, if you... if you kill me, the young master will definitely... cut you into a thousand pieces!"

"Haha, haha, Luo Yunxiao?" Yi Ranxiao scoffed. "Him? What a joke! He's just someone I'm about to kill!"

He Er was now completely bewildered. This Indian guy must have gone mad! Was he going to die at his hands today?

"Grandpa Ah San! He Er, I was wrong. I shouldn't have treated you like that before! Please forgive me. I'm willing to serve you like a dog! Please, please let me go..."

Yi Ranxiao snorted and increased the pressure in his hand. With several "crack" sounds, He Er died on the spot! And just then—

"He Er, what's wrong? Why is there such a commotion in the room!" Manman's voice suddenly came from outside the door. Almost at the same moment she finished speaking, the door was pushed open! Manman's figure was revealed. She also saw the bloody scene in the room. She immediately covered her mouth with her hands and was about to scream!

Yiran Xiao was quick-witted and even faster! She swiftly ran to Manman's side, covered her cherry lips tightly with her hand, and slammed the door shut at the same time.

Manman was just a prostitute; she had never seen such a violent scene before. She was immediately terrified and trembled all over, thinking that she had witnessed someone committing murder and the murderer would definitely kill her to silence her!

Yi Ranxiao was torn by extreme inner conflict. This Manman had actually witnessed her killing someone and was trying to silence her? But how could she indiscriminately kill an innocent person? Should she let her go? But if she went to tell Luo Yunxiao, he would definitely be on guard, making it difficult for her to kill him!

so what should I do now?

Just then, the inn suddenly became noisy, indicating that the commotion had alerted others. In this critical moment, Yiran Xiao had an idea and suddenly tore off Manman's sleeve. Manman was startled; was this guy planning to...

Yi Ranxiao bit her finger and wrote a line on her sleeve: Luo Yunxiao, your woman is in my hands. Come see me in that cave tomorrow. Ah San, stay!

Then, Ah San grabbed Manman's slender waist, broke through the window, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Since he couldn't kill her, he would use her as a hostage to lure Luo Yunxiao into his trap!

……

……

In the Han Mountains, Yiran Xiao led Manman through the mountains, and soon they arrived at their "place of death," which was the stone path. Following the stone path down, they came to an empty stone chamber.

Yi Ranxiao threw Manman aside. Manman's legs went weak, and she couldn't stand up, so she fell to the ground.

Manman had a miserable childhood, losing both her parents in her youth. She was later taken in by a brothel madam, who, due to her exceptional beauty, showered her with special care, practically raising her in a greenhouse. After puberty, she blossomed into a beautiful peach, and before even seeing customers, Luo Yunxiao noticed her and bought her for a large sum of money. From then on, she lived a life of luxury with Luo Yunxiao. Therefore, since she could remember, she had almost never been treated so roughly—except, of course, for the time Luo Yunxiao had violently assaulted her in bed.

Today she was kidnapped, and she was naturally terrified and angry. But when she thought of how fierce the Indian man looked when he killed He Er, she was filled with fear and dared not be angry.

Yi Ranxiao put her down. The moment Manman landed, she had a plan in mind. A woman like her, born into a brothel with a tragic fate, what right did she have to control her own destiny? Why would she care about chastity or morality? Everything was for survival. From childhood, she had learned how to please men. Which man she pleased wasn't important; what mattered was that this man could provide her with the means to live!

Capital can be money, or it can be something else. For example, now that she has fallen into the hands of ruthless bandits, the capital for survival is not money, but to make this man not kill her! The only way to make him not kill her, to make him release her, is naturally to use her best skill to please this man.

Manman suddenly stood up, very slowly, with a languid allure like Sleeping Beauty just waking up. But a captivating, seductive smile graced her face as she looked at Yiran Xiao.

Yi Ranxiao was taken aback, a deep-seated instinct stirring within him. To be honest, neither in his past life nor this one had ever... you know. In his past life, he was an orphan, working while studying, a habit that persisted even after university. Time was always tight, so any relationships he had were short-lived, ending abruptly without ever having that kind of intimacy. And in this life, it was even more so!

So, Manman's already alluring face was now becoming increasingly wanton, especially in the stone chamber of this ancient tomb, where the ever-burning lamp emitted a dim light that was already enough to make people's imaginations run wild. In addition, with a man and a woman alone in a room, how could they not have impure thoughts?

Yi Ranxiao swallowed hard.

Seeing his reaction, Manman knew he didn't reject her, so she slowly took a few delicate steps and walked towards Yiran Xiao. As she walked, she pulled out a hairpin from her hair, and her long, black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, draping over her fragrant shoulders. The long hair at her temples gently brushed against her face, making her look even more beautiful—truly a peerless beauty!

No wonder a lecherous man like Luo Yunxiao would take a liking to her! And he even defied his father's pressure to keep this woman of the night by his side.

At this moment, Yi Ranxiao was petrified, watching helplessly as she walked over.

Manman smiled radiantly as she gently removed her thin, transparent red shawl, revealing her snow-white, smooth shoulders and delicate collarbones. Her beauty was filled with an alluring charm, and following the collarbones downwards, one could see a deep cleavage!

Yi Ranxiao took a long breath, her eyes almost sinking into that ravine! Manman smiled and finally walked up to Yi Ranxiao, reaching out to hook her arms around Yi Ranxiao's neck, then bringing her charming little face close to Yi Ranxiao's.

Her breath was as sweet as orchids, and she said in a seductive voice, "I am willing to serve you."

In that instant, Yi Ranxiao was still infatuated. With such a charming beauty in his arms, what man could resist? Even Liu Xiahui might not be able to resist! Subconsciously, Yi Ranxiao slowly raised his hands, about to embrace Manman's waist.

Manman became even more accommodating, her bright red cherry lips moving forward until they were only a centimeter away from Yiranxiao's lips! And her full breasts were already touching Yiranxiao's body!

Yi Ranxiao felt a warm, soft sensation stimulating his body, and instinctively, he got an erection...

Everyone has their own principles, and no one will let desire control them and lead them astray! Perhaps the greatest ability in this world is to stick to one's principles and restrain one's desires.

Yiran Xiao lacked experience in romantic relationships, but he had his own principles: no love, no pleasure! The meaning was simple: he would never have a relationship with a woman he didn't love! Only love could truly make love! Without love, there would be no joy! This was his understanding, so, just as he was about to succumb, he pushed Manman away!

Manman was shocked. This man had actually managed to control his desires under her temptation? No... no way! Manman was quite confident in her abilities.

Yi Ranxiao coughed a few times and said, "Miss Manman, don't worry, I won't kill you. You are different from people like Luo Yunxiao and He Er. You are just a weak woman who has never harmed anyone, so I won't kill you. Therefore, you don't need to try to please me in that way." Yi Ranxiao could guess Manman's thoughts at a glance.

Manman was stunned. The madam had told her that all men in the world were lecherous, and no one could remain unmoved by a beautiful and charming woman, unless they were eunuchs. But this Indian man was an exception? No, could it be that this man liked to take advantage of women while they were asleep, using various methods to toy with them?

"Yes, that must be it!" So she said meekly, "Young master, as long as you wish, I will never resist."

Yiran Xiao looked at Manman helplessly. It's really hard to change a person's mind!
