This Lady Is Trying to Kill Me

Chapter 97: Scissoring?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Under the cold moon and in the cold river, a breeze stirred up waves and hit the river shore with a soft whoosh.

Ye Jingtang was dressed in black. He stood under a willow tree by the river and looked at the full moon in the water for a long time without saying anything.

After today’s battle, he had completely formed a grudge with the Zhou family.

Under the deterrence of the Pacifying Heaven Cult, the two forces seemed to have reached an agreement on the surface, but the Zhou family had already sensed the pressure from the imminent resurgence of the Red Flower Pavilion.

What the Zhou family would most likely do next was to think of a way to nip this hope for the future of the Red Flower Pavilion in the bud to prevent the danger of raising a tiger.

In order to prevent anything from happening, the people of the Red Flower Pavilion left the Zhou Manor, boarded the ferry, and sailed along the river to the government-controlled Azure Yang City.

On the way back, Third Lady had been silent. She had probably heard that domineering voice, which was exactly the same as his Miss Ning’er’s.

Ye Jingtang didn’t expect Heroine Luo, whom he had been thinking about day and night, to be the wife of the cult master of the Pacifying Heaven Cult. Without knowing the inside story, he didn’t dare to explain it to Third Lady, so he could only walk slowly by the river in the suburbs of Azure Yang City and think about the current situation.

Stealing the wife of the cult master of the Pacifying Heaven Cult in Jianghu was no less than stealing the empress dowager in the capital.

Although he was still alive, he was probably dead…

Ye Jingtang knew that Heroine Luo had a secret. She was only faking her marriage, and her husband was a pervert who liked to bully and humiliate beautiful men…

He wasn’t afraid of ordinary perverted experts, but how could he not be afraid of Pacifying Heaven Cult Master Xue Baijin, who was ‘invincible under the mountains’?

If Xue Baijin catches me…

Whatever 1 did to Heroine Luo, the Pacifying Heaven Cult Master will do to me…

He shuddered…

After his imagination ran wild for some time, there was finally movement by the river.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The bird had been circling near the Zhou Manor. At this moment, it flew back from the night sky. While flying back to the ferry on the river, it found Ye Jingtang standing by the river. It turned around, landed on his shoulder, raised its wing, and pointed upstream. “Chirp-”

Ye Jingtang naturally understood what it meant. Without any delay, he silently disappeared into the night and rose and fell in the forest by the river.

There were thousands of acres of fertile land by the river, but there were no residences. A breeze swept across the green rice fields, and ripples of green waves spread forward to the end of his vision.

Whoosh, whoosh…

Under the moonlight, a faintly discernible lamp at the end of the rice fields was like a bean, rising and falling with the wind and waves.

Ye Jingtang silently crossed the rice fields and landed in front of the lonely lamp. He could see a small boat moored on the river bank.

This boat was a small pleasure boat for sightseeing on the river. In the middle was a painted deckhouse. Faint yellow lanterns were hanging at the bow of the boat, illuminating the surrounding area.

A tall woman was standing at the bow of the boat. She was wearing a gauze-veiled hat and a slim-fitting blue dress and facing the calm river.

As a breeze blew, the hem of her dress fluttered with the wind. From afar, she looked like a fairy under the moon. She could only be seen from afar but not touched. If Ye Jingtang’s footsteps were a little heavier, he was worried that he would shatter the extremely beautiful scene in front of him.

Tread…

Ye Jingtang landed by the river and looked at the peerless beauty he had yearned for day and night at the bow of the ship. At this moment, a cold voice sounded. “You’re here.”

“I’m here…” Ye Jingtang wanted to continue the reply, but he realized that the words were a little strange, so he jumped onto the boat. “Heroine Luo, you…” Clang!

The three-foot-long blade was unsheathed, bringing with it a cold glint under the moonlight, and landed on Ye Jingtang’s shoulder.

Ye Jingtang froze. He glanced at the sword on his shoulder and raised his hands slightly.

Luo Ning turned around and pointed her sword at Ye Jingtang with one hand. He couldn’t see her face under the veil, but he could imagine her teary eyes. “You liar! To think I trusted you so much…”

She tried her best to keep her voice calm, but she couldn’t suppress the trembling coming from the bottom of her heart.

Ye Jingtang said gently, “How did I lie to you? Qiu Tianhe has already been saved…”

“You are the young master of the Red Flower Pavilion. Why didn’t you tell me?” “Aren’t you the wife of the cult master of the Pacifying Heaven Cult? You didn’t tell me!”

Luo Ning’s fair hand tightened slightly, and she pressed her sword down. “The Pacifying Heaven Cult is a rebel organization. I didn’t tell you because I was afraid of scaring you. You’re clearly rich, born into a wealthy family, and so skilled. Why did you pretend to be a poor, rural kid to lie to me? You…”

“I didn’t lie to you. When I met you, I was really just an escort from Liang Province. I really lived in that dilapidated courtyard, and I really didn’t have money.”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Luo Ning must have been crying. Her voice had an obvious vibrato. “You are clearly the young master of the Red Flower Pavilion. Otherwise, where did your martial arts come from? Also, that bottle of Jade Dragon Ointment and how easily you sneaked into the Black Office to see Qiu Tianhe…”

“That’s because I’m capable!” Ye Jingtang spread his hands. “With my ability, do I need to rely on connections to accomplish these things?”

“We’ve only been apart for a few days, but you suddenly became the young master of the Red Flower Pavilion…”

“It happened in the past few days.” Ye Jingtang moved the sword edge away with his finger and explained amiably, “I only found out about the Red Flower Pavilion the day you left. As soon as you left, I became the young master. You know the rules of the Red Flower Pavilion. I can’t tell anyone outside…”

Luo Ning and Ye Jingtang had been together for a long time, so she actually didn’t believe that he had put on such a big show to deceive her innocence. She felt that the people of the Red Flower Pavilion must have snatched him away during the few days she was away…

After a moment of silence, Luo Ning moved her sword back and questioned coldly, “Why did you join the Red Flower Pavilion? Didn’t you want to become an official?”

Ye Jingtang spread his hands. “Is this a conflict? The Red Flower Pavilion does serious business. I’m an official and a gang leader at the same time. No one said that I can’t do it.”

Luo Ning was stumped by this question and gritted her teeth. “You clearly met me first, so you should have joined my Pacifying Heaven Cult…”

“Did you ask?” Ye Jingtang moved the sword away, walked to Luo Ning, took off her veiled hat, and looked at her pitiful and beautiful face. “How many times have I asked you? If you had said that you were the wife of the cult master of the Pacifying Heaven Cult, how could I not go with you? But you refused to say anything. I didn’t even know who you were and could only look out for my own future. Now, you’re blaming me for entering the Red Flower Pavilion. How can I explain it?”

Luo Ning glared at Ye Jingtang. After being silent for a long time, she realized that she was being unreasonable. She couldn’t blame the Red Flower Pavilion for being faster…

Seeing that Luo Ning was silent, Ye Jingtang took half a step forward and raised his hands…

?

Luo Ning was stunned. She immediately took half a step back and raised her sword in front of her. “You little thief… what are you trying to do?”

Ye Jingtang stopped in his tracks. “Hmm… It’s been a long time since we last saw each other. 1 wanted to hug you and pat your shoulders to express my longing. Why don’t we shake hands instead?”

Luo Ning raised her sword and pretended to slash, but in the end, she didn’t attack. She just moved away a little.

Ye Jingtang moved forward and asked in a low voice, “Heroine Luo, is the pervert in your family who likes beautiful men Xue Baijin?”

Luo Ning’s eyes turned slightly cold. “You still dare to touch me when you know?”

“What else then? Do you expect me to go weak in the knees and stay away from you after finding out who you are?”

Hearing these shameless words, Luo Ning was speechless for a while. contemporary romance

Ye Jingtang sat down at the bow of the ship, placed his saber by his side, and patted his side. “Let’s sit down and chat. You’re the wife of the Pacifying Heaven Cult Master, and I’m the young master of the Red Flower Pavilion. If our affairs get out, the two forces will definitely fight to the death. You said that the Pacifying Heaven Cult Master won’t look for me, but I’ve already kissed and touched his wife. How could he not find trouble with me? When I learned of this news, I didn’t run away because I cared about our relationship. If it were anyone else who found out that he had touched the Pacifying Heaven Cult Master’s woman, do you believe that he would turn around and flee to Northern Liang, leaving you behind?”

Luo Ning hesitated for a moment before sitting down beside Ye Jingtang. Her skirt hung above the river, and her sword was placed horizontally on her knees. “This matter is top secret. You’re not allowed to tell a third person. Otherwise, you’ll definitely die!”

Ye Jingtang nodded.

Luo Ning looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, she explained in a low voice, “Xue Baijin wants to restore her country. In order to win over people to rebel with her, she has disguised herself as a man since she was a child…”

“Uh?!” Ye Jingtang turned around and looked at the charming Heroine Luo with strange eyes. “Are you two like lesbians?”

“What do you mean?”

“Like, do you… uh… do scissoring?”
