If Xiao Feng wasn’t personally witnessing the scene at this second, he would definitely dismiss it as a ridiculous lie if anybody instructed him about it. After his first time seeing Madam Ma outdoors Wuxi within the apricot forest, he met her twice extra and all the time felt that she was as chilly as ice and frost. She appeared extreme and to not be offended, and even her smile was by no means to be seen. However who would have anticipated that she would really develop into like this? Much more unusual was that she had framed Duan Zhengchun together with her phrases, so there should actually be nice enmity and hatred between them. However judging from the ambiance within the small room, with intoxication and perfume, delicate ardour, the 2 of them glancing at one another, and a mild and secret love, how may there be any hatred?

On the desk, a big flower vase was crammed with pink plum blossoms, and an excellent fireplace was roaring on the heatable brick mattress. The buttons at Madam Ma’s neck got here free and uncovered the snow white again of her neck and likewise the sting of her pink satin chest garment. But the 2 lit candles by the mattress have been white, and the pink firelight shone on her rosy cheeks. There was wind and snow outdoors the room, however indoors it was as heat as spring.

He heard Duan Zhengchun say, “Come, drink a cup with me, let’s drink sufficient to develop into a pair.”

Madam Ma snorted and mentioned in a bored voice, “What couple? I am alone on this chilly and desolate place, pondering and hoping day and evening, all the time remembering you, my enemy. However you…you…casted me apart to the again of your thoughts. When did you ever consider visiting me?” After saying this, the edges of her eyes turned pink.

Xiao Feng thought, “She speaks virtually like Qin Hongmian and Ruan Xingzhu. Might it’s…may it’s that she can be Duan Zhengchun’s former lover?”

Duan Zhengchun mentioned in a low and gentle voice, “After I was in Dali, was there ever a day after I did not consider you, Little Kang? I needed to develop wings and fly right here, maintain you in my embrace, and pity you nicely. That day after I heard the information that you simply married Deputy Chief Ma, I did not eat something for 3 days and nights. Because you had a house, if I came over you once more, I’d inevitably tire you. Deputy Chief Ma was a hero of nice standing within the Beggar Clan, so if I did this and that with you once more, it might be doing him an excellent mistaken. Would not that…that make me a despicable little man?”

Madam Ma mentioned, “Who wished you to supply politeness to me? I used to be solely pondering of you, questioning should you have been wholesome and pleased, if all of your issues have been going easily. So long as you have been nicely, I’d be pleased, and life could be significant. You have been distant in Dali, so probing for information about you was so tough. My physique was in Xinyang, however when was this coronary heart of mine ever not by your aspect?”

Her voice turned decrease and decrease, and Xiao Feng felt that amidst the intimacy there was bitterness, softness, and lingering feelings revolving endlessly. Listening to it actually took away one’s breath, seized one’s spirit, and pale one’s soul. But her phrases appeared pure and pure, and did not have any intentional vixen attraction. In his life he had certainly met many individuals, however he hadn’t anticipated that on the earth there was really such a wonderfully charming girl. Though Xiao Feng was astonished, his face involuntarily reddened. He had beforehand met two of Duan Zhengchun’s different lovers; Qin Hongmian was brilliant and simple, Ruan Xingzhu was good and exquisite, and this Madam Ma was extraordinarily light and intimate, yet one more sort.

Duan Chengchun smiled, held out his hand to tug her over, and embraced her. Madam Ma set free an “oh” sound, half prepared and half unwillingly, and barely resisted by shoving together with her palms.

Xiao Feng wrinkled his brows, unwilling to look at their shameful efficiency. Abruptly he heard individuals beside him treading forcefully on the gathered snow underfoot, producing a rubbing sound. He thought to himself, “This is not good, these two have overturned the vinegar jug (vinegar = jealousy), and can spoil my necessary issues.” His determine just like the wind, he drifted behind Qin Hongmian and the others, and one after the other sealed the acupuncture factors on the backs of the 4.

These 4 did not know who had performed it, and have been already unable to maneuver a single step. This time Xiao Feng sealed their mute acupuncture level, which precipitated them to be unable to talk. Qin Hongmian and Ruan Xingzhu heard their lover and the girl beside him sharing phrases of affection. Their fury was like fireplace, their envy just like the tide, however they collapsed on the snowy floor, the 2 of them struggling torment.

Xiao Feng continued to look at by the slit within the window, and noticed that Madam Ma was already sitting beside Duan Zhengchun, her head leaning in opposition to his shoulder. Her physique appeared as if it had just a few bones, she had hassle supporting herself, and a mass of lengthy black hair draped down, protecting half of Duan Zhengchun’s face. Her eyes opened and closed somewhat, solely exposing slits, and he or she mentioned, “The pinnacle of my family was harmed by somebody; you must have heard the rumors, however did you not dare come go to me? The pinnacle of my family is already lifeless, so that you need not proceed avoiding the suspicions!” Her voice was each reproachful and coquettish.

Duan Zhengchun smiled and mentioned, “Did not I come already? As soon as I obtained the information, I instantly left on the identical evening, touring evening and day. My horse’s hooves pounded incessantly as I rushed over from Dali, afraid that I’d be late.”

Madam Ma requested, “Afraid of what?”

Duan Zhengchun smiled and mentioned, “Afraid that you simply would not be capable to endure the loneliness and would marry somebody once more. Would not I’ve rushed right here for nothing? You precipitated me ten years of craving.”

Madam Ma spit and mentioned, “Pei, you do not even know the best way to say correct phrases, and set me up as somebody who’s unable to endure loneliness and marries once more? When did you ever consider me, what ten years of craving, are you not afraid of your tongue rotting?”

Duan Zhengchun held out his arms, embraced her even tighter, and mentioned, “If I did not yearn for you, then why would I rush over from Dali?”

Madam Ma smiled and mentioned, “High-quality, I will take it that you simply missed me. Duan Lang, how are you going to rearrange for me sooner or later?” She held out her arms and wrapped them round Duan Zhengchun’s neck, positioned her cheek on his face, and constantly rubbed softly, her lovely hair continually trembling like water ripples.

Duan Zhengchun mentioned, “At current we’ve wine, at current we’ll get drunk. Why point out future issues? Come, let me carry you. After being separated for ten years, have you ever gotten lighter or heavier?” He picked up Madam Ma.

Madam Ma requested, “Then you definitely’re nonetheless unwilling to convey me to Dali?”

Duan Zhengchun’s brows creased barely. He mentioned, “What’s so good about Dali? It is sizzling and humid, and malaria is within the air. Should you go, you will not be used to the local weather and can get sick.”

Madam Ma sighed softly and mentioned in a low voice, “Hmm, you are solely coaxing me with empty happiness.”

Duan Zhengchun smiled and mentioned, “How is it empty happiness? I will instantly provide you with true happiness.”

Madam Ma struggled barely and dropped down. She poured a cup of wine and mentioned, “Duan Lang, drink one other cup.”

Duan Zhengchun mentioned, “I will not drink anymore; I’ve had sufficient wine.”

Madam Ma’s left hand reached over and caressed his face. She mentioned, “No, I will not allow you to off simply. I need you to get dazedly drunk.”

Duan Zhengchun smiled and mentioned, “What’s so good about being dazedly drunk?” He took the cup and completed it in a single gulp.

Xiao Feng was impatient from listening to their flirtatious discuss. When he noticed Duan Zhengchun ingesting, his wine habit could not assist however flare up, and he calmly swallowed his saliva. He noticed Duan Zhengchun yawning a couple of instances and looking out significantly drained.

Madam Ma smiled enchantingly and mentioned, “Duan Lang, let me let you know a narrative, all proper?”

Xiao Feng’s spirits have been roused and he thought, “She’s going to inform a narrative; possibly some clues might be discovered.”

However Duan Zhengchun mentioned, “However there is not any hurry to speak. Come, I will take off your garments, and you’ll softly inform me by the pillow.”

Madam Ma gave him a chilly stare and mentioned, “Consider it! Duan Lang, after I was younger my household was very poor. I wished new garments, however daddy could not afford them. All day lengthy I’d suppose, if I could possibly be like neighbor Sister Jiang, who received flowery garments and footwear at New 12 months’s, then I’d be pleased.”

Duan Zhengchun mentioned, “If you have been younger you have to have positively been somewhat fairly. Such a cute little woman, even should you wore ragged clothes, you’d be very lovely.”

Madam Ma mentioned, “No, I solely liked to put on flowery garments.”

Duan Zhengchun mentioned, “You are sporting snow white mourning garments and look even smarter. What’s so good about flowery garments?”

Madam Ma mentioned, “You grew up in luxurious, and naturally would not perceive the struggling of youngsters from poor households. At the moment, even when I had a pair of recent footwear, I’d be exceedingly pleased. After I was seven, my daddy instructed me that on the twelfth month, he would promote our three lambs and fourteen chickens on the town for the New 12 months, after which lower a chunk of flowery material and stitch a set of recent garments for me. Ranging from the eighth month when my daddy instructed me these phrases, I regarded ahead to it, and punctiliously fed the chickens and tended the sheep…”

When Xiao Feng heard the phrases “tended the sheep,” his eyes brimmed with sizzling tears.

Madam Ma continued, “With nice issue I waited till the twelfth month, and each day I’d urge daddy to promote the sheep and chickens. Daddy all the time mentioned, ‘Do not be so impatient. Close to the tip of the yr, the chickens and sheep will promote for the most effective value.’ After a couple of days, it snowed closely for a number of days and nights. That night, with a “kualala” sound, the sheep pen collapsed as a result of snow. Luckily the sheep weren’t crushed to dying. Daddy moved the sheep to at least one aspect and mentioned that now the sheep wanted to be offered earlier. Unexpectedly, it was in the midst of that evening when the sheep cried out and the wolves howled noisily. Daddy mentioned, ‘This is not good, there are wolves!’ He carried a spear and went out to drive the wolves away. However the three sheep have been being dragged by the hungry wolves, and a lot of the chickens had been eaten by the wolves. Daddy shouted loudly, drove away the wolves, and wished to get the sheep again.

“Straight away he chased them into the mountains, and I used to be extraordinarily anxious, not realizing if daddy may get the sheep again. After I waited for a very long time, daddy returned, limping. He mentioned that he slipped on the snow on the mountain cliff and injured his leg. The spear fell under the cliff, so naturally he couldn’t get the sheep again.

“I used to be so disenchanted and sat down within the snow, crying loudly. Each day I tended the sheep nicely simply because I wished to put on flowery garments. However ultimately all my hopes and efforts got here to nothing. I cried and shouted, ‘Daddy, go get the sheep again, I wish to put on new garments, I wish to put on new garments!'”

Xiao Feng’s coronary heart sunk after listening to this. “This girl is inherently chilly! Her daddy was injured, however she did not take care of her daddy’s harm, and solely considered her flowery garments. Apart from, chasing after hungry wolves on a snowy evening is harmful. Though she was younger at the moment, it was nonetheless mistaken of her.”

He heard her proceed, “My daddy mentioned, ‘Little woman, let’s elevate sheep once more one in every of today, and once we promote them subsequent yr, I’ll positively purchase you flowery garments.’ I solely cried loudly and did not comply. However what was using not complying? It was New 12 months’s in lower than half a month, and neighbor Sister Jiang wore a brand new coat with a yellow backside and pink flowers, and trousers with inexperienced chrysanthemums. After I noticed them, I turned sentimental, and was so indignant that I refused to eat. Daddy continually coaxed me, however I paid no consideration to him.”

Duan Zhengchun smiled and mentioned, “If I had identified at the moment, I’d have positively given you ten, twenty units of recent garments.” He stretched and the candle flame flickered and shone on his face, stuffed with helpless intoxication and lust.

Madam Ma mentioned, “If I had ten, twenty units, then I’d not need them so badly. That evening on New 12 months’s Eve, I tossed and turned, unable to sleep, so I quietly received up and made my option to neighbor Uncle Jiang’s residence. The adults have been staying up late on the New 12 months and hadn’t gone to mattress but. The candle burned brightly, and I noticed Sister Jiang asleep on her mattress. Her new garments and trousers have been draped over her and appeared much more fairly below the pink candle flame. I stared blankly for a very long time earlier than I quietly entered the room and picked up her new set of garments and trousers.”

Duan Zhengchun mentioned, “Stealing new garments? Aiyo, I solely knew that our Little Kang stole males, however it appears to be like like she additionally stole garments.”

Madam Ma’s starry eyes shone, and smiling sweetly, she mentioned, “I did not steal the brand new garments and trousers! I picked up the scissors within the needlework basket on the desk, and lower her new garments into items, and her trousers into strips, by no means to be sewn again collectively. After I totally lower the brand new garments and trousers, my coronary heart felt indescribably pleased, much more overjoyed than if I had new garments myself.”

Duan Zhengchun’s face had contained a smiling expression all alongside, however after listening to this, his face steadily modified shade. Fairly unhappily, he mentioned, “Little Kang, do not speak about these previous issues. Let’s sleep!”

Madam Ma mentioned, “No, it is uncommon that I’ve a couple of days along with you. After right now, I am afraid that the 2 of us won’t ever meet once more, so I wish to discuss to you extra. Duan Lang, have you learnt why I instructed you this story? I need you to grasp my temperament, which has been the identical since childhood. If there’s something that I take into consideration day and evening however can not acquire it, but another person with good luck will get it, then it doesn’t matter what I have to destroy it. After I was a baby I used silly strategies, however as I slowly grew up and have become smarter, I used intelligent strategies.”

Duan Zhengchun shook his head and mentioned, “Do not say anymore. Should you let me hear these mood-spoiling phrases, I’ll now not have an interest, so do not blame me later.”

Madam Ma smiled barely and stood up, slowly untying the white hair tie. Her lengthy hair hung right down to her waist, gentle as silk. She picked up a comb created from yellow poplar wooden, instantly circled and smiled, her expression infinitely flirtatious, and mentioned, “Duan Lang, maintain me!” Her voice was extraordinarily gentle and intimate.

Though Xiao Feng loathed and detested this girl, when he noticed her look below the candlelight and heard her say “maintain me,” his coronary heart could not assist however palpitate with eagerness.

Duan Zhengchun laughed, leaned in opposition to the mattress, and wished to face up and maintain her. However he had drunk an excessive amount of wine and really could not get up. Smiling, he mentioned, “I solely drank six or seven cups of wine, but I really received this significantly intoxicated. Little Kang, you could have the countenance of a flower and a face just like the moon, inflicting one to be intoxicated from one look. Actually equal to a few catties of robust wine, hehe.”

When Xiao Feng heard this, he was shocked. “After solely ingesting six or seven cups of wine, how can he be drunk? Duan Zhengchun’s inner power is highly effective, so even when he has no liquor tolerance in any respect, it nonetheless would not make sense. One thing’s unusual right here.”

He heard Madam Ma snort delicately and say intimately, “Duan Lang, come over, I’ve no energy, you…you must shortly come and maintain me.”

Qin Hongmian and Ruan Xingzhu, who have been mendacity outdoors the window, heard each phrase of Madam Ma’s coquettish flirting. Their envy was like a fireplace attacking their hearts and exploding by their chests, however they could not elevate their palms to cowl their ears.

Duan Zhengchun leaned his left hand in opposition to the mattress and tried to exert energy to face up. However as quickly as his physique straightened, his knees weakened and he sat down once more. He smiled and mentioned, “I haven’t got any energy both, how unusual. After I see you, I am like a mouse seeing a cat, and my total physique weakens.”

Madam Ma smiled gently and mentioned, “I will not allow you to get away with it. You solely drank somewhat bit, but you fake to be intoxicated to deceive me. Switch your breath and use your inner power, should not that be sufficient?”

Duan Zhengchun transferred his internal breath and tried to take an actual breath, however how may he have anticipated that his elixir discipline (dantian) was boundlessly empty, and he could not even fathom something precisely. He took three breaths in succession, however unexpectedly the profound inner power that he had cultivated for over ten years had instantly vanished, and he did not know when it had left his physique. He began to panic, realizing that the scenario was removed from good. However he was skilled within the dangers of Jianghu, so his face remained calm and picked up. Smiling, he mentioned, “I solely have the Yi Yang Finger and Six Meridians Divine Sword left. I am so intoxicated that I can solely kill individuals, not maintain individuals.”

Xiao Feng thought, “Though this individual is grasping for magnificence and lascivious, he is not silly. He already is aware of that he is trapped in a harmful scenario, however nonetheless says he can “solely kill individuals, not maintain individuals.” Really he is aware of the Yi Yang Finger however not the Six Meridians Divine Sword. Clearly he is being falsely intimidating. If he would not have inner power, he can also’t use his Yi Yang Finger.”

Madam Ma mentioned softly, “Aiyo, I am feeling dizzy. Duan Lang, may it’s…may it’s that you simply put one thing within the wine?”

Duan Zhengchun initially suspected that she had drugged the wine, however when he heard her say this, his suspicion of her instantly disappeared. He beckoned along with his hand and mentioned, “Little Kang, come over, I’ve one thing to let you know.”

Madam Ma appeared as if she was going to take a step to stroll over, however she could not get up and leaned in opposition to the desk. Her face like peach blossoms, she panted closely and mentioned charmingly, “Duan Lang, I am unable to even take a single step. You have been afraid that I would not do it with you, so you set an aphrodisiac within the wine, did not you? You are so indecent.”

Duan Zhengchun shook his head, made a gesture along with his hand, dipped a finger within the wine, and wrote on the desk, “We have already fallen into the enemy’s venomous plan. Strive onerous to stay composed and calm.” He mentioned, “Now my inner power has returned. These few cups of poisoned wine cannot bewilder me.”

Madam Ma wrote on the desk, “Is that this true or false?”

Duan Zhengchun wrote, “Should not present weak point.” Loudly he mentioned, “Little Kang, what enemy do you could have who makes use of this venomous plan to hurt me?”

From outdoors the window, Xiao Feng noticed his phrases “Should not present weak point.” Understanding that the scenario was removed from good, he thought, “Though Duan Zhengchun is expert and formidable, ultimately he nonetheless falls into the palms of a girl. This poison was clearly put in by Madam Ma. When she heard you say ‘I can solely kill individuals, not maintain individuals,’ fearing that your martial arts have been robust, she pretended to be poisoned herself. When she requested if what you mentioned was true or false, how may you be fooled so simply?”

Madam Ma’s face confirmed fear, and he or she wrote on the desk, “Is it true or false that your inner power has fully vanished?” However she mentioned, “If there’s a villain who desires to destroy our plans, then that is too dangerous. Feeling bored, he simply occurs to do that for amusement. It’s best to simply sit right here and ignore it, and see if he has the center to take motion!”

Duan Zhengchun wrote, “I can solely hope that the impact of the drugs wears off earlier and the enemy arrives later.” He mentioned, “Proper, whoever performs round with us will fail. Little Kang, do you wish to see my lingkong stress level hitting technique?”

Madam Ma smiled and mentioned, “I’ve by no means seen it earlier than. Since your inner power hasn’t vanished, then use your Yi Yang Finger to poke a gap within the paper window, all proper?”

Duan Zhengchun knit his brows barely and winked to convey a touch. He thought, “I’ve no inner power, so how can I hit the lingkong stress level? I am intimidating the enemy, however how come you do not perceive?”

But Madam Ma repeatedly urged, “Hurry up, you solely must poke a small gap within the paper window to pressure the enemy to retreat. In any other case all the pieces shall be ruined, so do not let the enemy see by our plan!”

Duan Zhengchun trembled and thought, “She has all the time been clever and intelligent, so why is she intentionally performing silly now?”

Simply as he was muttering to himself, Madam Ma mentioned softly, “Duan Lang, you have been poisoned by the robust ‘Ten Perfume Bewitching Powder.’ Even when your martial arts are as excessive because the sky, your inner power will nonetheless fully vanish. Should you can nonetheless hit the lingkong stress level and use your inner power breath to prick a small gap within the paper window, then that will be a miracle.”

Duan Zhengchun was alarmed and mentioned, “I’ve…I have been poisoned by the robust ‘Ten Perfume Bewitching Powder’? How…how have you learnt?”

Madam Ma laughed delicately and mentioned, “After I was pouring wine for you, hehe, it appeared like I wasn’t cautious and a packet of poison fell into the wine cup. Ai, as quickly as I noticed you, my spirit and soul have been upside-down and I used to be bewildered. Duan Lang, do not blame me.”

Duan Zhengchun compelled a smile and mentioned, “Mm, so that is what occurred, not an issue.” At this second his ideas have been already as clear as snow. He knew that he was already managed by Madam Ma, so if he furiously scolded her, it might be of no avail. Thus, he may solely fake that there was no drawback, and he did his utmost to stay calm. He tried to make sense of the perilous scenario and thought, “She’s all the time had deep ardour for me and would positively not hurt my life. It is in all probability solely that she desires me to vow to by no means return residence and keep together with her for a lifetime. Or she desires me to convey her again to Dali in order that we are able to correctly develop into husband and spouse. It is a method of expressing her love for me; though her technique is extreme, it positively has no evil intent.”

Positive sufficient Madam Ma requested, “Duan Lang, are you prepared for us to develop into husband and spouse?”

Duan Zhengchun smiled and mentioned, “You are too formidable. High-quality, I give up. Tomorrow, we’ll return to Dali collectively, and I will take you because the South-Subduing King’s aspect concubine.”

When Qin Hongmian and Ruan Xingzhu heard this, as soon as once more their envy was like a fireplace attacking their hearts. Each of them thought, “What’s so good about this sl*t? You do not promise me, but you promise her.”

Madam Ma sighed and mentioned, “Duan Lang, after I requested you some time earlier about how you’d prepare for me sooner or later, you mentioned that Dali was sizzling, humid, and stuffed with malaria, and that if I went there, I’d get sick. Now you are compelled to vow me, however you are not likely honest.”

Duan Zhengchun sighed and mentioned, “Little Kang, let me let you know, I am the youthful brother of the Dali Emperor. My older brother has no sons, so after his thousand-year reign, he’ll give the title of Emperor to me. Within the Central Plains I’m solely a person with martial arts, however after I return to Dali, I can not do as I please. Do not you agree?”

Madam Ma mentioned, “Sure, however so what?”

Duan Zhengchun mentioned, “There are difficulties in between within the first place, however you handled me thus, and really did not hesitate to make use of poisoning strategies. Naturally I’d change my thoughts. It is not as if I do not wish to have a superb individual such as you by my aspect each day. Since I promised to take you again to Dali, I positively will not return on my phrase.”

Madam Ma softly set free an “oh” sound and mentioned, “These phrases are cheap. Sooner or later if you develop into Emperor, are you able to make me Empress?”

Duan Zhengchun hesitated and mentioned, “I have already got a primary spouse, so Empress will not do…”

Madam Ma mentioned, “Sure, I am an inauspicious widow, so how may I develop into an Empress? Would not that be a joke to the 1000’s upon 1000’s of Dali individuals?” She picked up the comb once more and slowly combed her hair. Smiling, she mentioned, “Duan Lang, after I instructed you that story simply now, did you perceive my which means?”

The chilly sweat on Duan Zhengchun’s brow dripped down, and he strived to suppress his fearful frame of mind. However the inner power that he had diligently cultivated for over ten years had fully vanished to who is aware of the place. Now he was like a drowning man, his palms desperately clawing for all times, however unable to seize even a single straw.

Madam Ma requested, “Duan Lang, your physique may be very sizzling, is not it? I will wipe your sweat.” She took out a silk handkerchief from her bosom, walked over to his aspect, and calmly wiped the chilly sweat on his brow. She mentioned softly, “Duan Lang, it’s essential to care for your physique. After ingesting it is easy to catch a chilly, so should you’re unwell, would not that make me extra anxious?”

When Duan Zhengchun inside and Xiao Feng outdoors the window heard this, each felt a concern that was tough to explain. Duan Zhengchun compelled a smile and mentioned, “That evening if you have been dripping with aromatic sweat, I additionally wiped your sweat. I’ve stored that handkerchief with me for over ten years.”

Madam Ma’s expression was bashful and he or she mentioned softly, “Aren’t you afraid of being shameful, having the nerve to convey up previous affairs from over ten years in the past? Take it out for me to see.”

It wasn’t really true that Duan Zhengchun had stored that previous handkerchief with him for over ten years, however unexpectedly it was really in his bosom at that second. It was straightforward for him to make girls pleased, and this set of abilities was an necessary cause that precipitated each girl who had a romantic ill-fated relationship with him to consider that the girl he really liked was herself. Solely due to all types of inauspicious to repel misfortunes in destiny have been they unable to forge a blissful marriage. He wished to take out this handkerchief from his bosom to make her care for his or her previous affection, however who would have identified that his fingers may solely transfer barely, and all the pieces above his palm was fully numb. The toxicity of this ‘Ten Perfume Bewitching Powder’ was so robust that he really had no energy to take out the handkerchief.

Madam Ma mentioned, “Take it out for me to see! Humph, you are deceiving me once more.”

Duan Zhengchun smiled bitterly and mentioned, “Haha, I am so intoxicated that I am unable to even transfer my palms, so take it out for me.”

Madam Ma mentioned, “As if I will be fooled! You wish to trick me into coming over so that you could use the Yi Yang Finger to kill me.”

Duan Zhengchun smiled and mentioned, “Such an unparalleled and distinctive magnificence such as you, even when I’m a vicious convict who can’t be unpardoned from ten evils, I’d nonetheless be unwilling to mark your face with even half a fingernail scratch.”

Madam Ma smiled and mentioned, “Actually? Duan Lang, I am all the time barely uneasy, so I have to use a rope to bind your palms, after which…then I’ll use a thread of soppy silk to firmly bind your coronary heart.”

Duan Zhengchun mentioned, “You’ve got certain my coronary heart way back. In any other case, how may I obediently hand myself over?”

Madam Ma scoffed and mentioned, “You have been initially a superb individual, so it is no marvel that you simply precipitated me to get this lovesickness that may by no means be cured.” Whereas saying this, she pulled open a drawer beside the mattress and took out a rope created from ox tendons.

Duan Zhengchun was much more scared and thought, “So she had really ready all the pieces way back, but I used to be fully at nighttime. Duan Zhengchun ah Duan Zhengchun, right now you’ll lose your life right here, however who are you able to blame?”

Madam Ma mentioned, “I will bind your palms first. Duan Lang, I such as you past phrases. Are you indignant at me?”

Duan Zhengchun knew Madam Ma’s mood nicely. Though she was a girl, she was much more agency and chronic than odd males. Malicious insults would not make her indignant, and strenuous and earnest lament would not make her change her thoughts. At current there was no higher choice than delaying the time and on the lookout for a possibility to show peril into security and escape from the predicament. Thus he smiled and mentioned, “As quickly as I see your watery eyes, even anger as huge because the sky will soften into nothing. Little Kang, come over and let me odor the jasmine flower in your hair.”

Over ten years in the past, due to these very phrases, Duan Zhengchun and Madam Ma started their ill-fated relationship. Now that their previous affair was talked about once more, Madam Ma’s physique slanted and fell softly onto his bosom. Her amorous emotions have been limitless, and he or she was extraordinarily delicate and bashful. She held out her hand to softly caress Duan Zhengchun’s cheek and mentioned intimately, “Duan Lang, Duan Lang, that evening after I gave my physique to you, I instructed you that should you have been ever untrue, what would occur?”

Duan Zhengchun solely felt that there have been gold stars dancing in entrance of his eyes, and beads of sweat as massive as soy beans oozed down his brow drop by drop.

Madam Ma mentioned, “Heartless man, my pricey man, have you ever so simply forgotten the curse you gambled on?”

Duan Zhengchun smiled bitterly and mentioned, “I mentioned that I’d allow you to chunk off all of the flesh on my physique mouthful by mouthful.” Initially this vow was purely a joke, simply flirtatious discuss between a person and a girl when collectively, however as Duan Zhengchun mentioned this, the flesh on his total physique could not assist however tremble.

Madam Ma smiled enchantingly and mentioned, “After so a few years, you really have not forgotten the phrases you mentioned to me. My Duan Lang is basically conscientious. Duan Lang, I wish to bind your palms and play a brand new recreation with you. Are you prepared or not? Should you’re prepared, I will bind you; should you’re unwilling, I will not bind you. All alongside I’ve all the time obeyed you in all the pieces, solely hoping to make you cheerful.”

Duan Zhengchun knew that even when he mentioned he would not let her bind him, she would positively discover one other grotesque technique. Smiling bitterly, he mentioned, “Because you wish to bind me, then bind me. For me to die below a peony flower, even turning into a ghost shall be romantic. Nothing might be happier than dying below your palms.”

Xiao Feng, listening outdoors the window, could not assist however admire his astonishing capability to make teasing remarks in such a important scenario. He noticed Madam Ma pulling his palms behind his again, utilizing the ox tendon rope to bind them firmly, and tying seven or eight tight knots in succession. Even when Duan Zhengchun’s inner power wasn’t broken, he would not be able to struggling free in a short while, to not point out that now his martial arts had fully vanished.

Madam Ma smiled delicately and mentioned, “I hate your legs probably the most. With one step you left and not using a hint.” Saying this, she calmly twisted his thigh.

Duan Zhengchun smiled and mentioned, “That yr once we met, it was these legs that introduced me over. Though these legs have enormously sinned, their contribution is not small both.”

Madam Ma mentioned, “High-quality! I will bind them too.” Saying this, she picked up one other ox tendon rope and certain his toes.

She took a pair of scissors and slowly lower open the layers of clothes on his proper shoulder, revealing snow white pores and skin. Though Duan Zhengchun was now not younger, he took wonderful care of himself. He had lived in wealth and splendor his total life and had profound inner power, so the pores and skin on his shoulder was nonetheless clean and durable.

Madam Ma held out her hand to softly caress his shoulder, puckered her cherry-like lips, and kissed his cheek, steadily kissing from his neck to his shoulder. She groaned intimately with “oh oh oh” sounds, a mild and candy love past phrases.

Amidst this, Duan Zhengchun loudly shouted out “ah,” his voice piercing the quiet evening. Madam Ma raised her head, her mouth crammed with blood, having already bitten off a bit of flesh from his shoulder.

Madam Ma spit out the small chunk of flesh onto the bottom, smiled charmingly, and mentioned, “Hitting is ardour, scolding is love. I like you to dying, so I bit you. Duan Lang, you mentioned so your self that should you stop to be trustworthy, you’d let me chunk off the flesh in your physique mouthful by mouthful.”

Duan Zhengchun laughed and mentioned, “Sure, Little Kang, how can the phrases that I mentioned earlier than not depend? Typically I ponder, what could be one of the simplest ways for me to die sooner or later? Dying in mattress from sickness appears too mediocre. Dying within the battlefield defending the nation is in fact nice, however though valiant, it is not romantic. It is like all the pieces is okay aside from one small defect, and never how Duan Zhengchun often behaves. Little Kang, the tactic you considered right now is formidable and has fulfilled my dream of Duan Zhengchun shedding his life to the little cherry-like mouth and pearl-like enamel of probably the most lovely girl of this period. Assume, if Duan Zhengchun and you did not have a romance by which our emotions have been carved into our bones, then if it was a second man, even when he gave you sufficient jewels to fill a mattress, you positively would not be prepared to take a single chunk of his physique. Little Kang, do you agree?”

Qin Hongmian and Ruan Xingzhu had lengthy since been scared out of their wits. They knew that Duan Zhengchun’s life was coming to an finish at any time, however seeing that Xiao Feng was nonetheless crouching below the window and watching what was taking place however not serving to, they scolded him a thousand instances of their hearts.

However Xiao Feng was nonetheless attempting to fathom Madam Ma’s actual intentions, not realizing if she significantly wished to kill Duan Zhengchun, or if she was solely attempting to scare him somewhat, make him endure some romantic sins, after which forgive him in order that hereafter he would all the time loyally keep together with her. If she was doing this all as an ungainly joke between lovers, and he rudely and impetuously charged into the room to rescue him, then he would lose a golden alternative to search out out the reality. Thus he nonetheless held his breath and noticed calmly.

Madam Ma smiled and mentioned, “Sure, even when it is the son of heaven of Nice Tune or the emperor of the Khitans, it might be straightforward for him to kill me, however he can neglect about ordering me to take a chunk of him. Duan Lang, initially I wished to slowly chunk you to dying, chunk you 1000’s of instances, however I am afraid that your subordinates will rush over to rescue you. How about this, I will pierce this knife into your chest, solely by half an inch, so it will not take your life. If somebody involves rescue you, I will hit the knife deal with, and you will not must endure being torn into scraps.” Saying this, she took out a blinding dagger, lower open the clothes on Duan Zhengchun’s chest, and aimed the dagger level at his coronary heart. She let go calmly and inserted the dagger into his chest, certainly sufficient solely piercing somewhat.

This time, Duan Zhengchun made no sound. Blood instantly flowed out of his chest. He mentioned, “Little Kang, your ten fingers are even whiter and softer than if you have been seventeen.”

When Madam Ma pierced the dagger into Duan Zhengchun’s physique, Xiao Feng noticed her palms with out blinking. If he noticed her exert an excessive amount of pressure and endanger Duan Zhengchun’s life, he would instantly cost in with a palm and trigger her physique to quake. However he noticed that she solely pierced calmly, so he nonetheless did nothing.

Madam Ma mentioned, “After I was seventeen, I needed to prepare dinner and do laundry, so naturally my palms have been rougher. Over the previous few years I did not must do any onerous labor, so my pores and skin actually turned extra fragile. Duan Lang, the place ought to I chunk you subsequent? I will chunk you wherever you inform me to; I all the time obey you.”

Duan Zhengchun smiled and mentioned, “Little Kang, even after you chunk me to dying, I will not go away your aspect.”

Madam Ma requested, “What are you as much as?”

Duan Zhengchun mentioned, “When a spouse conspires to homicide her husband, her lifeless husband’s spirit won’t ever scatter and can all the time linger by her aspect to stop a second man from getting near her.”

Duan Zhengchun initially solely wished to scare her somewhat with these phrases to warn her to not be too malicious. Unexpectedly, after Madam Ma heard this, her complexion modified enormously, and he or she could not assist however have a look behind her. Duan Zhengchun seized the prospect to say, “Yi! Who’s that individual behind you?”

Madam Ma was scared and requested, “Who’s behind me? Nonsense.”

Duan Zhengchun mentioned, “Mm, it is a man smiling at you. He is holding onto his throat as if it hurts so much. Who’s that, sporting ragged garments, constantly shedding tears…”

Madam Ma shortly circled, noticed nobody, and mentioned in a trembling voice, “You are deceiving me…you are deceiving me!”

Duan Zhengchun initially spoke thoughtlessly, however when he noticed her abnormally alarmed, he instantly turned suspicious. He started having second ideas and faintly felt that maybe there was one thing fishy about Ma Dayuan’s dying. He knew that Ma Dayuan had died below the ‘Throat-Lock Capturing Method,’ so he intentionally mentioned that the individual appeared as if his throat damage so much, was shedding tears, and wore ragged clothes. Positive sufficient, Madam Ma was enormously alarmed. Duan Zhengchun guessed one other thirty p.c and mentioned, “Ah, how unusual, how come this man disappeared within the blink of a watch? Who’s he?”

Madam Ma’s complexion was already extraordinarily frightened, however at this second she was nonetheless as calm as regular and mentioned, “Duan Lang, now that you’ve got reached this stage right now, what is the level in scaring me? You understand that not cursing will not do. The 2 of us have been as soon as collectively; now let me provide you with a simple breakup.” Saying this, she took a step ahead and held out her hand to push the dagger deal with.

Duan Zhengchun, realizing that he may now not stall for time, stared behind her and shouted loudly, “Ma Dayuan, Ma Dayuan, hurry and kill your spouse!”

Madam Ma, upon seeing that his face confirmed an abnormally terrified expression, and moreover upon listening to him shout ‘Ma Dayuan,’ could not assist however tremble throughout and circled to have a look. Duan Zhengchun exerted all of his effort to stay out his head and strike her chin. Madam Ma instantly fell down and fainted.

Duan Zhengchun did not really use his inner power on this strike. Though Madam Ma fainted for a second, she awoke after a short time and leisurely stood up. Stroking her decrease jaw, she smiled and mentioned, “Duan Lang, you like so barbarically and struck me so painfully right here. You fabricated these phrases to scare me, however I will not be fooled by you.”

With this strike, Duan Zhengchun had already exhausted all of the energy that he had gathered for a very long time. Inwardly he sighed and thought, “My destiny is thus; what can a person say!” Having second ideas, he mentioned, “Little Kang, you may kill me identical to this? Then when members of the Beggar Clan accuse you of murdering your husband, who will come that will help you?”

Madam Ma laughed and mentioned, “Who mentioned I killed my husband? It is not such as you’re my husband. Should you have been actually my husband, there would not be sufficient time to pity and love you, so how would I be prepared to hurt you? After I kill you, I will escape distant and will not keep right here. How would I be capable to cope with your Dali topics after they come looking for you?” She sighed serenely and mentioned, “Duan Lang, I really miss you and love you, and solely hope to carry you in my bosom, kiss you, and dote on you. However solely as a result of I can not have you ever, I have to destroy you. That is my pure temperament and cannot be helped.”

Duan Zhengchun mentioned, “Mm, sure, that day you intentionally deceived that younger girl and wished to make use of Qiao Feng to kill me.”

Madam Ma mentioned, “Sure, Qiao Feng that manservant is so ineffective. He could not even kill you and allow you to escape.”

Xiao Feng thought, “The talent of A’Zhu’s disguise as Bai Shijing was so divine that even I could not inform the distinction. Madam Ma and Bai Shijing aren’t conversant in one another, so how did she see by the scheme?”

Madam Ma mentioned, “Duan Lang, I wish to take one other chunk of you.”

Duan Zhengchun smiled and mentioned, “Come chunk me then. There’s nothing I like higher.” Xiao Feng, seeing that he could not delay any longer, prolonged his fist, pressed it above the clay wall behind Duan Zhengchun, and secretly utilized pressure. The clay wall wasn’t very agency within the first place, so he inserted his fist slowly and at last pierced a gap soundlessly, his palm urgent in opposition to Duan Zhengchun’s again.

At this second, Madam Ma bit off one other chunk of flesh from Duan Zhengchun’s shoulder. Duan Zhengchun shouted out loudly, his physique trembling. Abruptly he felt that his palms have been free. The ox tendon rope that certain his wrists had already been torn off by Xiao Feng’s fingers. On the identical time, extraordinarily profound inner power rushed into all of his channels.

Duan Zhengchun was startled, realizing that robust help had arrived from outdoors. His breath may transfer at will, and the inner power was transferred from his again to his arm, then to his finger. With a “chi” sound, the outstanding Yi Yang Finger was activated. Madam Ma was hit below the ribs by his finger, and shrieking “aiyo,” she fell on the mattress.

Xiao Feng, seeing that Duan Zhengchun had already gotten Madam Ma below management, withdrew his hand instantly.

Duan Zhengchun wished to specific thanks, however instantly the doorway curtain was lifted and an individual walked in. That individual mentioned, “Little Kang, your previous affection for him hasn’t ceased, proper? How may you not cleanly do him in after destroying his nice martial arts?”

When Xiao Feng noticed that individual by the window, he was dazed, alarmed, and indignant. On this quick time period, many suspicions existed in his thoughts, and now all of them have been unraveled. That day when Madam Ma was within the apricot forest in Wuxi, she had taken out the folding fan that he usually used, and falsely accused him of going into the Ma residence to steal a letter and shedding it there. The place did she acquire this folding fan? If it had been stolen by somebody, it was certain to be somebody extraordinarily near him. In that case, who was it?

This nice secret that he was a Khitan had been hid for thus a few years. How may it have been so instantly revealed? A’Zhu’s disguise as Bai Shijing was initially flawless, so how may Madam Ma have seen by it?

So the one who had walked in was really the Beggar Clan’s Legislation Enforcement Elder, Bai Shijing.

Frightened, Madam Ma mentioned, “He…he hasn’t misplaced his martial arts, and he sealed…sealed my acupuncture level.”

Bai Shijing leaped ahead and grabbed Duan Zhengchun’s palms. With two “kala” sounds, he twisted and broke his wrists. Duan Zhengchun had completely no energy to withstand. The inner power breath that Xiao Feng had transferred to him solely lasted for a short time; as quickly as Xiao Feng withdrew his hand, he turned a crippled individual once more.

After seeing Bai Shijing, Xiao Feng’s ideas bubbled forth like a tide right away. He did not anticipate that he must assist Duan Zhengchun once more, and likewise did not anticipate that Bai Shijing would instantly use evil strategies. When he awoke from his daze, Duan Zhengchun’s wrists had already been damaged. He thought, “This individual is free and lascivious, so letting him endure somewhat extra right now is an effective factor. On account of A’Zhu, I’ll all the time save his life ultimately.”

Bai Shijing mentioned, “Surnamed Duan, have a look at how you do not use your good abilities. After consuming the Ten Perfume Bewitching Powder, you continue to have thirty p.c of your martial arts left.”

Though Duan Zhengchun did not know who had prolonged his palm to assist him from outdoors the wall, however it was certain to be a extremely expert individual. It was true that at current he had one other robust enemy, however nice help was behind him, so he did not panic. Judging from Bai Shijing’s tone, it was apparent that he did not know that he had a helper. Thus he requested, “Honored sir, are you an elder of the Beggar Clan? You and I are complete strangers, so why would you instantly use evil strategies?”

Bai Shijing walked over to Madam Ma’s aspect and massaged her waist a couple of instances. The Duan household’s Yi Yang Finger’s stress level martial arts was exceedingly marvelous, so though Bai Shijing’s martial arts wasn’t weak, he was unable to unseal her acupuncture level. Frowning, he requested, “How are you feeling?” His tone was deeply involved.

Madam Ma mentioned, “My palms and toes are limp and painful, so I am unable to take a single step. Shijing, do him in, after which let’s go away shortly. I do not wish to keep on this room…this room any longer.”

Duan Zhengchun instantly laughed loudly and mentioned, “Little Kang, how may it’s that you simply…you have not improved in any respect? Haha, haha!”

Madam Ma smiled and mentioned, “Duan Lang, you could have such a superb persona that even when dying is imminent, you may nonetheless snort so fortunately and freely.”

Bai Shijing mentioned angrily, “You continue to name him ‘Duan Lang’? You sl*t.” With a slap of his hand, he closely struck her by her ear. Madam Ma’s snow white proper cheek instantly turned pink and swollen, and it was so painful that her tears flowed.

Duan Zhengchun shouted angrily, “Cease, why are you hitting her?”

Bai Shijing laughed coldly and mentioned, “On what foundation do you could have the precise to care? She’s mine. If I wish to hit her I will hit her, if I wish to scold her I will scold her.”

Duan Zhengchun mentioned, “Such a flower-like and jade-like magnificence, how will you bear to hit her? Even when she’s yours, you must acquire her favor in a low voice and coax her to be pleased.”

Madam Ma glared at Bai Shijing and mentioned, “Hear! Take heed to how he treats me, however how do you deal with me? You are not even ashamed.”

Bai Shijing scolded, “Little wh*re, see if I do not roast you. Surnamed Duan, I am actually not going to hearken to you. You understand how to realize girls’s favor, however how come she desires to hurt you? Please, subsequent yr on today is your anniversary of dying.” Saying this, he took one step ahead and held out his hand to push within the dagger in his chest.

Xiao Feng’s proper palm prolonged into the outlet within the clay wall once more. If Bai Shijing walked one other half step nearer, he would instantly ship out his palm.

At this second, a gust of robust wind blew open the doorway curtain. With a “hu” sound, the robust wind blew in every single place and extinguished the flames of the 2 candles on the identical time. The room was instantly plunged into darkness.

Madam Ma cried out “ah” in concern. Bai Shijing knew that an enemy had arrived, and at this second he had no time to kill Duan Zhengchun. It was extra pressing to face the enemy, so he shouted loudly, “Who’s there?” He protected his chest with each palms and turned his physique round. The gust of robust wind that extinguished the candle flames had clearly been despatched out by an individual of extraordinarily excessive martial arts. However after the candle flames have been extinguished, there was even much less motion. Bai Shijing, Duan Zhengchun, Madam Ma, and Xiao Feng stared and faintly noticed that the room already contained one other individual.

Madam Ma was the primary to lose her calm and shouted sharply, “Somebody’s right here, somebody’s right here!” This individual blocked the door, palms drooping down, facial options unclear, and stood immobile.

Bai Shijing requested loudly, “Who’s it?” He took one step ahead. That individual was silent and immobile. Bai Shijing shouted loudly, “Should you do not reply, then I will not be well mannered.” He knew from the newcomer’s palm energy in extinguishing the candle flames that his martial arts have been extraordinarily highly effective, so he did not dare to unexpectedly make a transfer. That individual nonetheless remained immobile, and within the darkness appeared like an eerie ghost.

Upon seeing the newcomer’s look, Duan Zhengchun and Xiao Feng had the identical suspicions of their minds. “This individual’s martial arts are formidable. Who may it’s?”

Madam Ma shouted sharply, “Go mild the candle flames! I am scared, I am scared!”

Bai Shijing shouted loudly, “Wh*re, cease speaking nonsense!” If he acted as she mentioned and circled to mild the candle flames, he could be instantly betraying his essential again to the enemy. He protected his chest with each palms with the intention of ready for his opponent to make a transfer first. Unexpectedly, that individual was immobile all alongside. The 2 of them have been in opposition on this method for virtually two hours. After all Xiao Feng would not make any sounds, and Duan Zhengchun mentioned nothing. It was silent throughout; even the sound of falling snowflakes may virtually be heard.

Lastly Bai Shijing was unable to maintain his calm and shouted, “Since you will not reply, I will must commit an offense.” At this second, seeing that his opponent nonetheless made no strikes, he instantly flipped over his palms and took out a cleaved armor metal axe from his bosom and leaped up. Gentle flashed within the darkness and the metal axe was swiftly thrust at that individual’s chest.

With a flash, that individual tilted his physique and dodged out of the best way. Bai Shijing felt a gust of robust wind urgent instantly in direction of him, and his opponent’s fingers had already grabbed his personal throat. This transfer was extraordinarily quick; he hadn’t but withdrawn his personal metal axe when his opponent’s fingers had already sharply caught his throat. This time, he was significantly so scared that his spirit was now not hooked up to his physique, and he unexpectedly leaped again. In a trembling voice he mentioned, “You…you…”

What he was really afraid of was not that his opponent’s martial arts have been highly effective, however somewhat that simply now, that individual had really used the ‘Throat-Lock Capturing Method.’ This set of martial arts was the supreme talent of Ma Dayuan’s household. Other than members of the Ma household, nobody was in a position to make use of it. Bai Shijing and Ma Dayuan have been buddies for a very long time, so naturally he understood his household’s martial arts. His again dripped with chilly sweat and he stared at that individual, solely seeing that his determine was extraordinarily tall, the identical as Ma Dayuan, however his look was unclear within the darkness. That individual was nonetheless silent and immobile, gloomy and ghostly from head to toe. Bai Shijing felt a faint ache in his neck, and believed that it had been pricked by his fingernail. He composed himself and requested, “Honored sir, is your surname Ma?” That individual appeared deaf and ignored him.

Bai Shijing mentioned, “Little wh*re, mild the candles.”

Madam Ma mentioned, “I am unable to transfer. It’s best to mild them.”

However how may Bai Shijing dare to maneuver casually and provides him a loophole? He thought, “This individual’s martial arts are clearly higher than mine. If he desires to rescue Duan Zhengchun, he would not want to attend for others to come back and assist him. Why would not he pursue and assault after one transfer?”

It was silent once more for a very long time. Abruptly, Bai Shijing detected an odd prevalence. Though everybody was silent and immobile within the room, there was nonetheless the sound of respiratory. There was the sound of Madam Ma’s respiratory, Duan Zhengchun’s respiratory, and his personal respiratory, however the individual standing reverse him made no respiratory sounds.

Bai Shijing held his breath and listened fastidiously. Together with his cultivated inner power, he ought to have been in a position to hear the sound of respiratory of any individual within the room, however the individual reverse him did not breathe. After a really very long time, that individual nonetheless did not breathe. If he was a residing individual, how may he not breathe?

Bai Shijing heard the sound of his personal heartbeat: pu, pu, pu, pu…he heard the sound of his heartbeat turning into louder and louder and felt his chest violently trembling. His coronary heart appeared as if it was going to leap out of its cavity. Unable to train restraint any longer, he charged at that individual with a loud shout. His cleaved armor axe slashed repeatedly, thrusting in direction of that individual.

With a brush of that individual’s left hand, he obstructed Bai Shijing’s proper arm. His proper hand stretched ahead to seize at his throat. Bai Shijing was already guarded in opposition to his use of the ‘Throat-Lock Capturing Method’ once more, so he lowered his head and dodged below his armpit. However that individual did not pursue and assault, and as a substitute solely blankly stood on the doorway. Bai Shijing raised the axe to stab at his leg, and that individual leaped straight as much as keep away from it. Madam Ma, upon seeing that this individual’s determine was stiff and that he did not bend his knees when leaping up, could not assist however blurt out, “Zombie, zombie!”

With a “teng” sound, that individual fell down closely. Bai Shijing felt much more scared and thought, “If this individual is a martial arts professional, then how can he be so clumsy in his rising and falling actions? Might it’s that there are actually zombies on this world?”

Bai Shijing hesitated barely, raised his monkey-like physique, and with three “chi” sounds, the cleaved armor axe was thrust at that individual’s decrease physique thrice. Certainly that individual’s knees have been unable to bend. He solely dodged stiffly soar by soar, apparently unable to even take steps. When Bai Shijing thrust to the left, he dodged by leaping to the precise; when he thrust to the precise, he simply dodged to the left. Bai Shijing found his opponent’s weak point, and the concern in his coronary heart disappeared. However he felt increasingly more that he wasn’t a residing individual, and he thrust the axe a number of instances once more. Though his opponent’s actions have been clumsy, the beautiful variations of his axe method have been all alongside unable to hurt him.

Abruptly, his neck felt chilly, and a big ice-cold hand touched him. Bai Shijing was extraordinarily shocked and violently brandished the axe to thrust behind him. With a lightweight “chi” sound, he thrust into the empty air, however that individual’s massive hand had already grabbed the again of his neck. Bai Shijing’s total physique was limp and painful, he was now not in a position to take a single step, and he may solely repeatedly pant for breath with “hu hu hu” sounds.

Madam Ma shouted loudly, “Shijing, Shijing, what’s mistaken?”

How may Bai Shijing nonetheless have spare power to reply? He solely felt that his physique’s inner power was within the strategy of being squeezed out little by little by the big hand on the again of his neck.

Abruptly, a big hand as ice-cold as iron touched his face. This hand was significantly not a human hand and fully lacked any heat. Bai Shijing additionally could not assist however shout out, “Zombie! Zombie!” His voice was shrill and terrified. Ranging from his brow, that giant hand slowly moved down and touched his eyes, the fingers sliding forwards and backwards over his eyeballs. Bai Shijing was so scared that he almost fainted. With solely a slight exertion of pressure, his opponent’s fingers may instantly dig out his eyeballs. However this chilly hand moved down once more, touching his nostril after which touching his mouth. Inch by inch it moved down and at last caught his throat. Two ice-cold fingers clasped his Adam’s apple, steadily tightening.

Bai Shijing was infinitely shocked and shouted, “Brother Dayuan, spare me! Spare me!”

Madam Ma shouted sharply, “What…what did you say?”

Bai Shijing shouted, “Brother Dayuan, it was all this low-cost wh*re’s concept, it was she who compelled me to do it, it has…it has nothing to do with me!”

Madam Ma mentioned angrily, “So what if it was my concept? Ma Dayuan, you have been a ineffective weakling in life, and now what are you able to do in dying? I am not afraid of you.”

Bai Shijing felt that when he had spoken up and blamed another person, the fingers on his throat had loosened barely. When he stopped speaking, the ice-cold fingers slowly tightened once more. His coronary heart was frenzied, and when he heard Madam Ma calling him ‘Ma Dayuan,’ he was much more satisfied that this monster was exactly Ma Dayuan’s zombie. He shouted, “Brother Dayuan, spare me! Your spouse stealthily learn Chief Wang’s will and urged you time and again to show the key of Qiao Feng’s start, however you have been actually unwilling…so she…she conceived a scheme to hurt you…”

Xiao Feng’s coronary heart trembled; he clearly did not consider in ghosts, and was sure that it was a well-known martial arts professional intentionally pretending to be a ghost to make Bai Shijing and Madam Ma frenzied. That method he may seize the prospect to demand a confession from the 2 of them. Positive sufficient, Bai Shijing was each mentally and bodily exhausted, and let it out. Judging from what he mentioned, Ma Dayuan was killed by the 2 of them, with Madam Ma being the chief schemer. The explanation for Madam Ma eager to kill her husband lay in her wanting to show the key of his personal start, however Ma Dayuan hadn’t allowed it. “Why does she hate me a lot? Why should she overthrow me? If she wished to make her husband the chief, then she should not have harmed her husband.”

Madam Ma shouted sharply, “Ma Dayuan, you must simply strangle me to dying. I hate seeing your nugatory look! You are a coward who cannot undertake any nice issues!”

With a lightweight “kala” sound, a chunk of Bai Shijing’s throat cartilage was damaged. Bai Shijing struggled desperately, however was fully unable to flee from that individual’s palm. After one other “kala” sound, his throat shattered. He loudly inhaled a couple of breaths, however the breaths may by no means be absorbed into his physique once more. His limbs convulsed, and his respiratory promptly stopped.

After strangling Bai Shijing to dying, that individual circled and went out the door, disappearing and not using a hint.

Xiao Feng thought, “Who is that this individual? I must chase after him and examine clearly.” Directly he floated over to the entrance door. Underneath the reflection of the white snow, a faint human shadow could possibly be seen steadily stepping into a northeast course. Had his eyesight not been exceptionally good, he actually would not have been in a position to see it.

Xiao Feng thought, “This individual’s actions are so quick!” He bent over and tapped the shoulder of A’Zi, who lay beside his toes. His inner power was despatched out and he unsealed her acupuncture level. He thought, “Madam Ma would not know martial arts. This little woman is sufficient to rescue her father.” He did not have time to unseal the acupuncture factors of Ruan Xingzhu and the others. Taking massive strides, he quickly pursued the individual forward of him.

After some time of swift working, the space between them was not more than 100 toes. At this second he noticed clearly that positive sufficient, that individual was a martial arts professional. At this second he wasn’t leaping with straightened legs, and his footsteps have been relaxed, as if he have been gliding on the snow. Xiao Feng’s qinggong originated from Shaolin, and he had additionally been educated by Chief Wang of the Beggar Clan, a purely masculine sect. He took one massive stride, protecting ten toes, and his physique leaped into the air. He took one other stride, and though his actions weren’t very elegant or sleek, they have been extraordinarily appropriate for hastening on a protracted journey. After extra pursuing, he turned nearer to that individual by ten toes.

After working for roughly the time it took for half an incense keep on with burn, the footsteps of the individual forward instantly accelerated. Like a sailboat that had absorbed quite a lot of wind, he galloped fiercely with the movement, and in only a second, the space between him and Xiao Feng lengthened once more. Xiao Feng was secretly apprehensive and thought, “This individual is significantly formidable, and is really one of many high specialists in Wulin. Had he not been this sort of individual, he would not have been in a position to kill Bai Shijing when he raised his hand.”

He was naturally completely different from others, and was really a genius in martial arts. The martial arts of the masters he had discovered from, Nice Grasp Xuan Ku and Chief Wang, have been already extraordinarily excessive. However Xiao Feng was like blue rising from inexperienced, and much surpassed his two masters. Any odd transfer in his palms would naturally ship out unparalleled large energy. Everybody who knew him nicely mentioned that this sort of martial arts present was inherent, and could not be obtained by being taught or by painstaking apply. Xiao Feng himself could not clarify why, and was solely conscious that when he discovered any transfer, he may use it, and as soon as he may use it, he may grasp it. When going through the enemy, he naturally had many ingenious variations. However other than martial arts, he was nothing greater than common and no completely different than odd individuals whether or not in finding out books or in craftsmanship. In his total life he hardly ever encountered a worthy match. Many highly effective enemies had extra profound inner power and extra ingenious strikes than he did, however as soon as they fought, they might all the time lose on the most important second by one and a half stances, and furthermore be sincerely satisfied of their loss and able to concede. Understanding that ultimately they might by no means match him, nobody had ever sought him for revenge to expunge their humiliation.

Now that he had encountered an opponent with such superior qinggong, his heroic ambition could not assist however instantly come up. He accelerated his footsteps and caught up once more. The 2 of them galloped northeast, one forward and one behind, Xiao Feng all alongside unable to overhaul him, and that individual additionally unable to throw him off. After two hours, after 4 hours, the 2 of them had already run 100 or extra li, and have been nonetheless neither too close to nor too distant.

After one other hour, the sky steadily brightened, and the heavy snow had already ceased. Xiao Feng noticed a small city under a distant hillside, the homes lined up intently just like the scales on a fish, and heard the sound of chickens heralding the dawn. His wine habit instantly arose and he shouted, “Brother forward of me, I invite you to drink twenty bowls of wine. Then let’s proceed to compete in foot energy, all proper?” That individual did not reply, and nonetheless ran quickly with power. Xiao Feng smiled and mentioned, “You set to dying Bai Shijing, that depraved traitor. You are really a formidable hero. Xiao Feng concedes defeat; my qinggong is inferior to yours. Let’s purchase wine to drink and never compete, not compete.” He spoke as he ran, his toes not slowing within the slightest.

That individual instantly halted and mentioned, “Qiao Feng’s energy shakes Jianghu. Positive sufficient your status is well-deserved. Whilst you spoke, you continue to transferred your actual breath naturally. Actually heroic, really gallant!”

Xiao Feng heard his vague voice, which was conspicuously previous, so his age ought to be a lot higher than his personal. He mentioned, “Senior overpraises me. Junior claims connections of upper standing and needs to be buddies with senior. I ponder should you’ll dislike it?”

That individual sighed and mentioned, “I am getting previous and ineffective! Do not chase after me. If we run for an additional two hours, I will lose to you!” As he mentioned this, he walked slowly onward.

Xiao Feng wished to chase after him and discuss to him extra, however he had solely taken one stride when he thought, “He requested me to not chase after him.” He then recalled that the heroes within the Central Plains despised him, and was afraid that this individual additionally disdained and hated Khitans. Directly he stopped and noticed that individual’s rear view steadily getting distant. After he entered a forest, he sighed and thought, “This individual’s qinggong is fantastic and his inner power is long-lasting. What a pity that I could not meet him!” He then thought, “His voice was vague, and he had clearly intentionally lowered his voice in order that I could not acknowledge it. He did not even need me to listen to his voice clearly, not to mention meet him.”

After pondering for a very long time, he lastly entered the small city, went to a small wine store, purchased wine, and drank. Each time he drank one or two bowls, he clapped the desk and boasted, “Good man, good fellow, ai, what a pity, what a pity!”

He mentioned “good man, good fellow” to reward that individual’s formidable martial arts, and likewise as a result of he had dealt with killing Bai Shijing extraordinarily appropriately. He then said that it was a pity as a result of he was sighing that he had been unable to develop into buddies with him. He often liked buddies as a lot as his life. This time, after being expelled from the Beggar Clan and moreover creating deep enmity with the heroes of the Central Plains, and having cleanly damaged off from his former buddies, he was extraordinarily depressed. Immediately, having unexpectedly encountered a hero whose martial arts have been at a degree just like his personal, but having no likelihood to get to know him, he may solely wash away his worries with wine. However the many suspicions that had gathered in his coronary heart for a very long time have been already solved, so he additionally felt enormously pleased.

After ingesting greater than twenty bowls of wine and paying the wine cash, he rose and left, pondering, “I ponder how Duan Zhengchun is doing? Ruan Xingzhu and Qin Hongmian’s acupuncture factors have been sealed by me, so I have to return and assist them.” Thus he took massive strides and returned to the Ma residence.

On the best way again he by no means used his full energy, so his journey by foot was far slower. By the point he returned to the Ma residence, it was already previous midday. He did not see a single individual on the snowy floor outdoors the home. Ruan Xingzhu and the others weren’t there; he presumed that A’Zi had already carried them into the home. He pushed open the door and entered the room, seeing Bai Shijing’s corpse nonetheless fallen beside the door. Duan Zhengchun wasn’t there. A girl was leaning on the aspect of the mattress, her total physique lined with blood. She was exactly Madam Ma.

She heard the sound of footsteps, circled, and mentioned in a low voice, “Be charitable, fast, shortly kill me!”

Xiao Feng noticed that her face was grey and defeated. In just one evening, it appeared as if she had gotten older by twenty or thirty years, and he or she had develop into extraordinarily ugly. He requested, “The place is Duan Zhengchun?”

Madam Ma mentioned, “He was saved by this…this evil individual! Ah!” Abruptly, she set free an excellent shout, her voice sharp and very earsplitting.

Xiao Feng was caught off guard and given a scare by her. He retreated a step and requested, “What are you doing?”

Madam Ma gasped for breath and requested, “You are…you are Chief…Qiao?”

Xiao Feng laughed bitterly and mentioned, “I’ve lengthy since ceased to be chief of the Beggar Clan. Do not inform me that you simply did not know?”

Madam Ma mentioned, “Sure, you are Chief Qiao. Chief Qiao, please be charitable and shortly kill me.”

Xiao Feng frowned and mentioned, “I do not wish to kill you. You killed your husband, so naturally there shall be members of the Beggar Clan who will do you in.”

Madam Ma pleaded, “I…I actually cannot bear it any longer. That little sl*t’s strategies are so venomous. I…I will not let her off even after I develop into a ghost. You…you have a look…at my physique.”

She was leaning at nighttime, so Xiao Feng could not see clearly. Having heard what she mentioned, he went over and pushed open the window. Vivid mild entered the room, and after one look, he could not assist however barely tremble. He noticed Madam Ma’s shoulders, arms, chest, thighs, in every single place lower by somebody’s knife into strips of wounds. There have been really densely packed ants crawling on the injuries. Upon seeing her wounds, Xiao Feng knew that the tendons of her 4 limbs and waist joints had been damaged by somebody, and he or she would by no means be capable to transfer a single step. Acupuncture factors could possibly be unsealed and motion restored, however since her tendons and veins have been damaged, then they might by no means be healed, and any more she could be a paralyzed cripple. However how may there really be so many ants on her wounds?

Madam Ma mentioned in a trembling voice, “That little sl*t damaged the tendons of my palms and toes, and lower wounds on me from head to toe, then…then she poured sweetened honey water on the injuries…she mentioned that the sweetened honey water would appeal to ants that will chunk my total physique, making me ache, numb, and itch for a number of days and nights and inflicting me to endure all types of miseries. She mentioned that she would make me unable to beg for both life or dying.”

Xiao Feng felt that he could not take one other have a look at her wounds with out doing one thing. He positively wasn’t an individual with a gentle coronary heart, however he killed and burned, all the time keen on being frank and simple. He by no means used malicious strategies to torment enemies. He sighed, circled, and went into the kitchen. He got here out carrying a big barrel of water and splashed it on her physique, exempting her from the struggling of her physique being gnawed by a pack of ants.

Madam Ma mentioned, “Thanks. You could have a superb conscience. I will not be capable to stay. Be charitable and kill me with one strike of the blade.”

Xiao Feng requested, “Who…who slashed you?”

Madam Ma gnashed her enamel and mentioned, “It was that little sl*t. She’s so younger, not previous fifteen or sixteen years of age, however her coronary heart and strategies are so venomous…”

Xiao Feng was alarmed and requested, “It was A’Zi?”

Madam Ma mentioned, “Right, I heard that sl*tty girl name her that. She instructed her to shortly kill me. However this A’Zi, this little sl*t, insisted on slowly and intentionally punishing me. She mentioned that she wished to avenge her father and provides vent to her mom’s anger, and wished me to endure such infinite distress…”

Xiao Feng thought, “I used to be afraid that Qin Hongmian and Ruan Xingzhu would drink vinegar (be jealous) and kill Madam Ma. With out her alive, I would not be capable to interrogate her. Who would’ve thought that A’Zi, this little woman, is so merciless and malicious.” He frowned and mentioned, “Duan Zhengchun had a love affair with you in previous days, however when he noticed his daughter tormenting you so cruelly, do not inform me that he really did not put a cease to it?”

Madam Ma mentioned, “At the moment he was already unconscious and unaware of all human affairs. That was…that was attributable to the Ten Perfume Bewitching Powder.”

Xiao Feng nodded and mentioned, “That is proper. Contemplating that he is a hero who can distinguish proper from mistaken, how may he condone his daughter committing outrages? Hmm, what about these girls?”

Madam Ma groaned and mentioned, “Do not ask, do not ask, shortly kill me.”

Xiao Feng snorted and mentioned, “Should you do not reply, then I will pour some extra sweetened honey water in your wounds and go away, letting you perish by yourself.”

Madam Ma mentioned, “You males…are all so heartless and malicious…”

Xiao Feng requested, “So your technique of murdering Brother Ma wasn’t malicious?”

Madam Ma was shocked and requested, “How…how have you learnt all the pieces? Who instructed you?”

Xiao Feng mentioned coldly, “It is me asking you, not you asking me. It is you pleading with me, not me pleading with you. Hurry up and converse!”

Madam Ma mentioned, “High-quality, I will let you know all the pieces. A’Zi that little sl*t punished me and her mom repeatedly shouted for her to cease, however A’Zi solely laughed fortunately and did not pay attention. Her mom’s acupuncture level had already been sealed by somebody, so she was unable to take a single step. Not a lot later, 5 – 6 of Duan Zhengchun’s subordinates arrived. A’Zi that little sl*t carried her mom, father, Qin Hongmian, and Qin Hongmian’s daughter out of the room one after the other, however did not enable anybody to enter the room in order to stop them from seeing me. Duan Zhengchun’s subordinates rode on horseback, in order that they picked them up and left.”

Xiao Feng nodded and thought, “Since Duan Zhengchun was picked up by his subordinates and Ruan Xingzhu and the opposite two’s sealed acupuncture factors will naturally unseal after a number of hours, I do not want to concentrate to them.”

Madam Ma mentioned, “I’ve instructed you all the pieces, you…you must shortly kill me.”

Xiao Feng mentioned, “It is unlikely that you simply instructed all the pieces, proper? Is not dying straightforward? Residing is what’s tough. Why did you homicide Brother Ma?”

Madam Ma’s eyes glinted viciously and he or she requested hatefully, “Do it’s important to ask it doesn’t matter what?”

Xiao Feng mentioned, “Right, I’ve to ask it doesn’t matter what. I am a hard-hearted man and will not take pity on you.”

Madam Ma spat and mentioned, “After all your coronary heart is as onerous as metal. Do not inform me that should you did not say so, I would not know? You precipitated me to fall into my current situation. You are haughty and conceited, you animal who places your self above different individuals! You Khitan prisoner of struggle who’s worse than pigs and canine, after dying you may fall into the eighteenth degree of hell and be laid low with evil spirits each day. Why do not you dare to spill sweetened honey water on my wounds? You blended breed canine, you bastard…” The extra she cursed him, the extra vicious she turned. Clearly all of the complaints and anger that she had gathered in her coronary heart needed to be vented it doesn’t matter what. Later she cursed him with obscene language, filthy and vile past creativeness.

From childhood Xiao Feng had frolicked with different beggars, so he was used to listening to all types of vulgar language. When he was tipsy and merry with the others, he would usually use vulgar phrases to curse individuals. However it was actually far past his expectations to listen to Madam Ma, who had all the time been refined and chic, now cursing him so vigorously and fiercely. Furthermore, he had by no means even heard of many of those soiled and obscene phrases.

He did not make a sound and waited as she cursed heartily. Her face had initially been pale, however through the pleasure of her venomous cursing, her total face turned very pink and her eyes revealed a contented expression. After cursing him for fairly some time, her voice steadily lowered and he or she lastly mentioned, “Qiao Feng, you traitorous canine, you precipitated me to succeed in this stage right now. See should you do not die a horrible dying sooner or later.”

Xiao Feng requested calmly, “Are you performed cursing?”

Madam Ma mentioned, “For now I will not curse you, however I will proceed after I take a relaxation. You blended breed canine and not using a father or mom! So long as this previous girl nonetheless has one breath remaining, I will by no means end cursing you.”

Xiao Feng mentioned, “Superb, simply curse me. The primary time I met you was within the apricot forest outdoors Wuxi. At the moment Brother Ma had already been killed by you. Up to now you and I have been complete strangers, so how may you say that it was I who precipitated you to succeed in this stage right now?”

Madam Ma mentioned hatefully, “Ha, you say that the primary time you met me was outdoors Wuxi. It is exactly these phrases, right, all due to these phrases. You haughty, conceited man who thinks your martial arts are primary on the earth!”

She began one other bout of cursing that lasted for fairly some time.

Xiao Feng let her curse him freely. When her voice weakened, he requested, “Are you performed cursing?”

Madam Ma mentioned hatefully, “I will by no means have sufficient of it, you…you man who places your self above everybody else, even should you’re the emperor, you are not essentially extraordinary.”

Xiao Feng mentioned, “Right, even when I am the emperor, what’s so extraordinary about that? I’ve by no means thought of myself to be unequalled on the earth, simply now…simply now, the martial arts of that individual have been higher than mine.”

Madam Ma did not take note of who he was speaking about. She solely mumbled curses, and after cursing for an additional whereas, she mentioned, “You say that you simply met me for the primary time outdoors Wuxi, humph, so that you did not see me on the Hundred Flower Gathering in Luoyang?”

Xiao Feng stared blankly. The Hundred Flower Gathering in Luoyang befell two years in the past. He had gone with many brothers of the Beggar Clan to the gathering, performed rock-paper-scissors and drank wine, and had a carefree time. However it doesn’t matter what he could not keep in mind having met her on the gathering. He mentioned, “That point Brother Ma went, however he did not take you to fulfill me.”

Madam Ma cursed, “What sort of factor are you? You are solely the chief of a bunch of beggars. What’s so particular about that? That day on the Hundred Flower Gathering, I stood beside that yellow peony. Which of the heroes on the gathering did not check out me? Should you significantly did not see me, then fantastic, I would not blame you. However you clearly noticed me but ignored me. Your gaze swept previous my face and did not even cease for a second, as if I have been no completely different from an odd girl. Hypocrite, shameless man.”

Xiao Feng slowly understood and mentioned, “Proper, I keep in mind now. That day beside the peony flower, it appeared like there actually have been a number of girl. At the moment I used to be solely engrossed in ingesting wine, and did not spare any effort to take a look at no matter peonies, males, or girls there have been. If it was a senior feminine hero, then in fact I’d go up and pay my respects. However you are my sister-in-law, so if I did not have a look at you, what sort of critical missing in manners would that be? Why do you have to keep in mind it and hate me a lot?”

Madam Ma mentioned fiercely, “Do not inform me that you simply weren’t born with eyeballs? Regardless of how well-known they have been, all of the heroes checked out me from head to toe. A few of the individuals of advantage and status, even when they did not dare to take a look at me instantly, when different individuals weren’t paying consideration, they nonetheless all the time secretly checked out me a couple of instances. Solely you, solely you…humph, out of the a couple of thousand males on the Hundred Flower Gathering, solely you did not have a look at me all the time. You have been the good chief of the Beggar Clan, a hero well-known all through the world. On the Hundred Flower Gathering, the lads thought of you to be in first place, and the ladies naturally thought of me to be primary. Because you really did not correctly take a couple of appears to be like at me, irrespective of how lovely I used to be, what was the purpose? When over a thousand males toppled over for me, how may I really feel good?”

Xiao Feng sighed and mentioned, “As a baby I did not wish to play with ladies. After I grew older, much more so I did not spare any effort to take a look at girls. It is not like I did not have a look at solely you. Initially I did not even take note of a girl who’s 100 instances extra lovely than you. Afterwards, it was too late…”

Madam Ma mentioned sharply, “What? A girl who’s 100 instances extra lovely than me? Who’s it? Who’s it?”

Xiao Feng mentioned, “It is Duan Zhengchun’s daughter, A’Zi’s older sister.”

Madam Ma spat a mouthful of saliva and mentioned, “Pei, this sort of sl*tty girl, how may you continue to point out her…”

She hadn’t completed her sentence when Xiao Feng grabbed her hair, lifted her physique, and closely threw her again down onto the bottom. He mentioned, “Should you dare to say one other half a sentence that disrespects her, humph, I will let you could have a style of my venomous strategies.”

When Madam Ma was thrown down by him, she virtually fainted, and all of the bones in her physique rattled. Abruptly she laughed loudly and mentioned, “So…so our Nice Chief Qiao was enchanted by this little b*tch, haha, haha, so humorous. You possibly can now not be the chief of the Beggar Clan, so now you wish to be the husband of the princess of Dali. Chief Qiao, I do know that you simply will not have a look at any girls.”

Xiao Feng’s knees weakened and he sat down on a chair. He mentioned slowly, “I solely hope to take a look at her another time, however…however…I can by no means see her once more.”

Madam Ma smiled coldly and mentioned, “Why? In order for you her, on the idea of your martial arts, do not inform me you could’t snatch her?”

Xiao Feng shook his head and mentioned nothing. After a very long time, he lastly mentioned, “Even when I’ve heavenly abilities, I am unable to snatch her again.”

Madam Ma was extraordinarily pleased and requested, “Why? Haha, haha.”

Xiao Feng mentioned in a low voice, “She’s lifeless.”

Madam Ma’s laughter instantly stopped, and he or she felt barely apologetic, feeling that this conceited and haughty Chief Qiao was considerably pitiful. However instantly her face revealed a smile, and her smile turned increasingly more pleased.

Xiao Feng noticed her smile and instantly realized that she was pleased as a result of he was brokenhearted. He stood up and mentioned, “You murdered your husband, and even dying cannot wipe out your crime. What else do it’s important to say?”

When Madam Ma heard that he was going to kill her, she instantly turned afraid and pleaded, “You…you spare me, do not kill me.”

Xiao Feng mentioned, “High-quality, I need not within the first place.” He stepped out.

Upon seeing that he had stepped out of the room with out even turning round, the anger in Madam Ma’s coronary heart grew once more. She mentioned loudly, “Qiao Feng, you canine traitor, again then I used to be indignant that you simply did not even take one have a look at me, so I instructed Ma Dayuan to show your scar. Ma Dayuan was unwilling it doesn’t matter what, so I instructed Bai Shijing to kill Ma Dayuan. The way in which you…you deal with me right now, your coronary heart remains to be not the slightest bit moved.”

Xiao Feng circled and mentioned coldly, “You murdered your husband simply because I by no means took one have a look at you. Humph, who would consider such an enormous lie?”

Madam Ma mentioned, “I will be lifeless any second now. Why would I deceive you? Initially, what technique did I’ve? I may solely hate you for a lifetime. Not solely did these smelly beggars revere you as a deity, however who on the earth dared to offend you? However heaven has eyes, and that day let me uncover Chief Wang’s will in Ma Dayuan’s protected. What was so onerous about stealthily tearing open this letter with out damaging the envelope’s sealing wax, after which sealing it once more after studying it? I stealthily learn that letter and came upon data price celebrating. Are you able to think about how pleased I used to be at that second? Haha, that was exactly the golden alternative for me to vent the resentment in my coronary heart. I wished you to endure an entire defeat and fall from grace, to by no means be capable to flaunt round as a hero. I wished Ma Dayuan to show you in public and let all of the heroes of the world know that you are a Khitan prisoner of struggle. I wished you to not solely be unable to stay chief of the Beggar Clan, but in addition unable to face within the Central Plains, and even your life could be tough to guard.”

Xiao Feng was totally conscious that her total physique already could not transfer, and that she would by no means be capable to hurt individuals once more. However when such malicious speech reached his ears, he felt a chill on his again. He made a “humph” sound and mentioned, “Ma Dayuan was unwilling to conform along with your phrases, so that you killed him?”

Madam Ma mentioned, “Sure, not solely did he not obey my phrases, however as a substitute he ferociously scolded me. He mentioned that from then on he would not enable me to depart the home. If I disclosed even one phrase, he would chop this previous girl into mincemeat. He had all the time obeyed me in all the pieces prior to now. When was he ever this hateful and extreme? All alongside I had by no means cared for him or held him in regard. He offended me thus, so naturally this previous girl had sufferings in retailer for him. After over a month, Bai Shijing stayed over as a visitor. That day was the fourteenth of the eighth month; he got here to my residence to have fun the Mid-Autumn Competition. He took one have a look at me, then took one other look. Humph humph, this previous pervert! I defiled my physique and tempted this previous pervert to be loopy about me. I ordered the previous pervert to kill Ma Dayuan, that ineffective weakling, however he was unwilling, so I mentioned that I’d expose that he had raped me. This previous traitor was all the time sincere and incorruptible in entrance of different individuals. However in entrance of this previous girl, what shame did he lack? I instructed him, ‘Should you kill Ma Dayuan, I will naturally comply with you for all times. In any other case, you must straightforwardly kill me with one palm!’ He was unwilling to kill me, so he needed to kill Ma Dayuan.”

Xiao Feng took a breath and mentioned, “Bai Shijing was an unswervingly good man, however was ruined by you want this. You…you additionally gave the Ten Perfume Bewitching Powder to Brother Ma to eat, and then you definately ordered Bai Shijing to interrupt his throat, pretending that it was Gusu Murong who used the ‘Throat-Lock Capturing Method’ to kill him, proper?”

Madam Ma mentioned, “Sure, haha, how may it not be? However I do not know ‘Gusu Murong’ or whoever. That was the previous pervert’s concept.”

Xiao Feng nodded.

Madam Ma continued, “I ordered the previous pervert to take the initiative to show the key of your start. Pei, this previous pervert was really loyal to you, and was compelled by me so fiercely that he picked up a knife, eager to commit suicide. High-quality, I let him off that point and sought Quan Guanqing, that neither lifeless nor alive man. This previous girl solely slept with him for 3 nights earlier than he obeyed me in all the pieces. He beat his chest and mentioned that he would care for all the pieces and would make sure to succeed. This previous girl presumed that Quan Guanqing that man alone could not topple you. Thus I additionally sought Elder Xu’s involvement. You understand all the pieces that occurred later, so you do not want me to say it once more, proper?”

Lastly, the final suspicion in his coronary heart had been unraveled, as to why Quan Guanqing was the chief conspirator in opposition to him, but Bai Shijing was the one who had been captured as a traitor. He requested, “Was it Bai Shijing who stole my fan?”

Madam Ma mentioned, “Really that wasn’t him. The previous pervert would not do something that wronged you it doesn’t matter what. It was Quan Guanqing who persuaded Elder Chen. After you left your property, he entered your own home and stole it.”

Xiao Feng mentioned, “Though Miss Duan’s disguise as Bai Shijing was flawless, you continue to noticed by her.”

Madam Ma requested, shocked, “This little woman was exactly Duan Zhengchun’s daughter? She was the one you love? Was she actually exceedingly lovely?”

Xiao Feng did not reply, and raised his head in direction of the horizon.

Madam Ma mentioned, “This little…little woman actually scared me, and even talked about the fifteenth of the eighth month, which is exactly the date of Ma Dayuan’s dying. However later I made two flirtatious remarks. After I mentioned that the moon within the sky was so spherical and white, the previous pervert had mentioned on that day, ‘There are some issues in your physique even rounder and whiter than the moon within the sky.’ After I requested her if she appreciated to eat salty or candy mooncakes, the previous pervert had mentioned on that day, ‘The mooncakes in your physique are naturally sweeter than honey and sugar.’ However your Miss Duan’s response did not match, so I instantly noticed by her.”

Xiao Feng lastly understood why Madam Ma had instantly talked about the moon and mooncakes that evening. So it had really been the shameless discuss between Madam Ma and Bai Shijing after they have been privately speaking on the fourteenth evening of the eighth month final yr. Madam Ma laughed and mentioned, “Qiao Feng, your disguise was horrible. As quickly as I used to be conscious that the little woman was as much as no good, after which thought of your determine, hei hei, how may I not know that you simply have been Qiao Feng? I used to be nearly to kill Duan Zhengchun, so by fortunate coincidence I may use you to kill him.”

Xiao Feng gnashed his enamel and mentioned, “You precipitated Miss Duan’s dying, so this debt should fall onto you.”

Madam Ma mentioned, “It was she who deceived me first, not me who went to deceive her. I used to be merely beating her at her personal recreation. If she did not come to search out me, then after Bai Shijing turned the chief of the Beggar Clan, naturally I’d have methods to make the Beggar Clan and the Duan household of Dali develop into enemies. This Duan Zhengchun then, hei hei, ultimately would not be capable to escape from my palm.”

Xiao Feng mentioned, “You are so vicious! You wished to kill your personal husband, you wished to kill a person whom you had a love affair with, and also you additionally wished to kill a person who did not have a look at you.”

Madam Ma requested, “Why will not you have a look at magnificence that is in entrance of you? Do not inform me that I am not lovely sufficient? How may there be such a hypocrite such as you on this world?” She was happy with herself and her cheeks flushed as she mentioned this. She was extraordinarily excited, however lastly her bodily energy steadily weakened, and her speech was already considerably discontinuous.

Xiao Feng mentioned, “I will ask you another factor. Who’s the Main Huge Brother who wrote the letter to Chief Wang? You’ve got learn that letter and seen the signature.”

Madam Ma laughed coldly and mentioned, “Hei hei, hei hei, Qiao Feng, ultimately is it you pleading with me, or me pleading with you? Ma Dayuan is lifeless, Elder Xu is lifeless, Zhao Qiansun is lifeless, the Stern-Confronted Justice of the Peace Shan Zheng is lifeless, Grandpa and Granny Tan are lifeless, Nice Grasp Zhi Guang of Mount Tiantai is lifeless. On this world, solely I and that Main Huge Brother himself know who he’s.”

Xiao Feng’s heartbeat accelerated and he mentioned, “Right, it is Qiao Feng earnestly pleading with you. Please inform me of this individual’s identify.”

Madam Ma mentioned, “I will be lifeless at any second now. What profit are you able to give me?”

Xiao Feng mentioned, “To the most effective of my capability, I’ll obey no matter Madam instructions.”

Madam Ma smiled and mentioned, “What else would I need? Qiao Feng, I hated and resented you for disdaining to take a look at me fastidiously, to the extent that it led to such a catastrophe. It is not tough for me to let you know the identify of that Main Huge Brother, however you have to maintain me in your bosom and have a look at me fastidiously for a very long time.”

Xiao Feng knit his brows tightly and was actually very unwilling. However it was true that she was the one one on the earth who knew this huge secret. His enmity as deep because the ocean trusted the a number of phrases that would come from her lips. To not point out that her situation wasn’t extraordinarily tough. Even when it was one thing extraordinarily tough and awkward, he may solely pressure himself to do it. Her life held on a thread, and he or she may cease respiratory at any time. Threatening her could be fully ineffective. He thought, “If I insisted on refusing and he or she took her final breath, then I’d by no means know the identification of the enemy who killed my dad and mom. What is the hurt in holding her and taking a couple of appears to be like at her?” He mentioned, “High-quality, I will comply.” He stooped and held her in his bosom, and checked out her cheeks with shining eyes.

Right now, Madam Ma’s face was fully lined with bloodstains blended with mud and grime. Furthermore, her complexion was wan and sallow due to the torment she suffered that evening, so she was extraordinarily ugly. Xiao Feng was already extraordinarily reluctant to carry her in his bosom, and having to additionally have a look at her face, he could not assist however knit his eyebrows.

Madam Ma requested angrily, “What? Do you hate taking a look at me?”

Xiao Feng may solely say, “No!” This phrase defied his coronary heart. Ordinarily, even when he met large calamity, he would not hold his actual ideas to himself. However at this second, he actually had no different various.

Madam Ma mentioned softly, “Should you do not hate me, then kiss my face.”

Xiao Feng mentioned firmly, “I completely cannot. You are the spouse of Brother Ma. Xiao Feng attaches most significance to loyalty. How may I insult my pal’s widow?”

Madam Ma mentioned sweetly and intimately, “Should you regard loyalty, then why are you holding me in your bosom…”

At this second, somebody outdoors the window giggled and mentioned, “Qiao Feng, you are too shameless! You killed my older sister, and now you are holding my daddy’s lover, kissing and carrying on a clandestine love affair. Aren’t you ashamed?” It was exactly A’Zi’s voice.

Xiao Feng had a transparent conscience, so naturally he did not take significantly the discuss of an ignorant little one. He mentioned to Madam Ma, “Hurry up and say it, who’s that Main Huge Brother?”

Madam Ma mentioned intimately, “I instructed you to take a look at me, however you circled. What are you doing?” Her voice was flirtatious.

A’Zi walked into the room, smiled, and mentioned, “How come you are still not lifeless? What man could be prepared to take a look at such an unpleasant wretch?”

Madam Ma requested, “What? You…you say that I seem like an unpleasant wretch? Mirror, mirror, I need a mirror!” Her voice carried excessive panic.

Xiao Feng mentioned, “Hurry up and say it, hurry up and say it. Should you say it, I will provide the mirror.”

A’Zi simply picked up a brilliant mirror from the desk and aimed it at her. Smiling, she mentioned, “Check out your self. Stunning or not lovely?”

Madam Ma regarded into the mirror and noticed her face fully lined with bloodstains and dirt. Worry, cruelty, malice, hatred, struggling, anger, all types of ugly emotions have been gathered on her facial options. How was she within the slightest the previously delicate magnificence who attracted individuals’s tender affections? She opened her eyes large and by no means closed them once more. She was immodest in her magnificence all through her life, however earlier than she died, she noticed herself with such an unpleasant look within the mirror.

Xiao Feng mentioned, “A’Zi, take the mirror away and do not offend her.”

A’Zi laughed and mentioned, “I wish to let her understand how ugly she is!”

Xiao Feng mentioned, “It could be horrible should you anger her to dying!” He felt that Madam Ma’s physique was immobile, and he may now not hear the sound of her respiratory. He hurriedly examined her respiratory, however she had already stopped respiratory. Xiao Feng was alarmed and shouted, “Aiyo, this is not good, her respiratory’s stopped!” He shouted out as if he have been going through an imminent disaster.

A’Zi pursed her lips and mentioned, “Did you significantly like her? Is it price making such a fuss when this sort of girl dies?”

Xiao Feng mentioned, “What does a baby like you realize? I wished to ask her one thing. She was the one individual on the earth who knew. Should you hadn’t interrupted, she would’ve already mentioned it.”

A’Zi mentioned, “Aiyo, so I used to be dangerous once more and spoiled your necessary issues, proper?”

Xiao Feng sighed, pondering {that a} lifeless individual could not come again to life. Getting indignant could be ineffective. A’Zi, this little woman, was conceited and willful by nature. Even her dad and mom could not management her, not to mention different individuals. On account of A’Zhu, he could not argue together with her on something. Presently he positioned Madam Ma on the sofa and mentioned, “Let’s go!”

They investigated in every single place. There have been no different individuals in the home. The previous maidservant had already fled to whereabouts unknown. Thus, they obtained gasoline and ignited a fireplace within the firewood room. In a second, the flames rose.

The 2 of them stood beside the home, trying on the flames popping out from the window. Xiao Feng requested, “Aren’t you going again to the place your daddy and mommy are?”

A’Zi mentioned, “No, I am not going to the place my daddy and mommy are. Every time my daddy’s subordinates see me, they puff their beards and glare at me. I instructed daddy to kill all of them, however daddy was actually willful and did not comply.”

Xiao Feng thought, “You killed Chu Wanli, so naturally his buddies would hate you. How may Duan Zhengchun kill his loyal and devoted subordinates for you? You are the one who’s performing willfully, but you say it is your daddy who’s performing willfully. You are actually a baby who talks nonsense.” He mentioned, “High-quality, I am leaving!” He circled and headed north.

A’Zi mentioned, “Hey, hey, decelerate, await me.”

Xiao Feng instantly halted his footsteps, circled, and requested, “The place are you going? Are you going again to your martial grasp?”

A’Zi mentioned, “No, at this second I am not going again to my martial grasp. I would not dare.”

Xiao Feng requested, shocked, “Why would not you dare? What hassle did you get into this time?”

A’Zi mentioned, “I did not get into hassle. I took a handbook from my martial grasp. If I return, he’ll snatch it again. After I grasp it, I will return, and when my martial grasp takes it, I will not be anxious.”

Xiao Feng requested, “Is it a martial arts handbook? Since it is your martial grasp’s, should you plead with him to allow you to have a look, he will not refuse eternally. Apart from, should you apply it by yourself, you positively will not be capable to perceive many components of it. Would not it’s higher to have your martial grasp provide you with pointers?”

A’Zi pursed her lips and mentioned, “My martial grasp mentioned he would not give it to me, so he will not give it to me. It is ineffective irrespective of how a lot I plead with him.”

Xiao Feng actually disliked this conceited, willful, and spoiled little woman. Then he thought that she did not should be entangled together with her infamous martial grasp, the Previous Freak of Xingxiuhai, Ding Chunqiu. He mentioned, “High-quality, do no matter you need. I will not care about you.”

A’Zi requested, “The place are you going?”

Xiao Feng regarded on the raging flames within the rooms of the Ma home, sighed deeply, and mentioned, “I used to be initially going to hunt revenge, however I do not know who my enemy is. In my life, this large revenge can by no means be sought.”

A’Zi mentioned, “Oh, I perceive, Madam Ma initially knew, however what a pity that I angered her to dying. Any further, you will not be capable to know who your enemy is. So enjoyable, so enjoyable! Qiao Feng’s fame for preventing prowess is excellent, however because of my punishment, he is helpless.”

Xiao Feng checked out her sideways and noticed that her total face was stuffed with pleasure in calamity and enjoyment of catastrophe. The raging flames shone on her face, making her cheeks appear as pink and wonderful as apples. Who would’ve thought that hid beneath these harmless cheeks was huge and limitless malice? In a cut up second, his sizzling anger arose, and he wished to closely slap her within the face. However he instantly recalled that A’Zhu had pleaded with him earlier than she died, and requested him to care for her solely youthful sister on the earth. He thought, “A’Zhu solely made this one request of me earlier than she died. How can I not comply? Even when this little woman is a large traitor and evildoer, I will do my finest to right her errors. Apart from, she’s merely younger and ignorant, willful and naughty.”

A’Zi raised her head and requested, “What? Do you wish to beat me to dying? How come you are not beating me? My older sister has already been crushed to dying by you. So what should you additionally beat me to dying?”

These phrases pierced Xiao Feng’s coronary heart like a dagger, and his chest ached. He remained silent and circled uncaringly, taking massive strides on the snowy floor.

A’Zi laughed and mentioned, “Hey, decelerate, the place are you going?”

Xiao Feng mentioned, “I am unable to reside within the Central Plains, and I am unable to search revenge for the deaths of my dad and mom. I am going north of the go, by no means to return.”
