I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1799 - 1800: Slap Them in the Face When You Hit Them
"What do you intend to do? Stop right there!" Seeing you getting closer and closer, the middle-aged man’s face visibly became flustered.
"Daring to defy those above you! You damned peasant!" The young man right behind the middle-aged man clearly didn’t know your prowess, and immediately pulled out a steel knife from his waist, striking towards you!
"Swish!"
Your figure suddenly vanished!
"Bang!"
A heavy sound reverberated in all directions as you punched the young man wielding the knife, sending him flying into the outer walls of the school grounds, causing them to collapse slightly, with the sound of bricks breaking all around and dust rising!
You stood silently in front of the middle-aged man, reached out, grabbed his right hand, and in front of everyone, you broke his fingers one by one!
"Uh ah—"
Who could have imagined that you would be so ruthless!
"You... you dare to harm Manager Liu! You’re dead, I’m going to report to the Second Miss!"
You suddenly laughed, gave a cold snort, and turned to leave.
"Mu Yun, wait a moment!" Zhang Shui hurriedly stepped forward to grab your arm and advised, "You don’t have to leave! A master like you, others can only dream of having! The Second Miss is a reasonable person, she will surely seek justice for you!"
"The Second Miss is here!" Just as Zhang Shui finished speaking, there was an exclamation from the crowd.
Shortly after, a woman appeared gracefully, surrounded by four maids. She wore a full-body purple Flowing Immortal Dress, with an alluring figure, but she wore a veil, making it impossible to see her appearance clearly. As soon as she appeared, the young man, frightened by you, quickly knelt in front of Zhen Luo, crying with tearful eyes, "Second Miss, you finally arrived! You must take charge for us, that evil man not only injured Hu San but also broke Manager Liu’s fingers!"
"Who is so bold as to dare cause trouble in my Zhen Mansion?" The Second Miss was immediately enraged, and her otherwise beautiful voice revealed a hint of anger.
"Me." You faced the Second Miss directly, with a faint smile on your face, your smile appeared arrogant and wild in everyone’s eyes.
The Second Miss had never seen your face, she only felt that your figure was unusually tall, somewhat similar to that person from the past, but she wouldn’t immediately think of that. She pointed at you, angrily accusing, "Who are you? How dare you commit violence at my Zhen Mansion? Someone, tie him up for me!"
"Who dares!?"
Your voice thundered, and everyone around stepped back, no one dared to approach.
"I, Li Muyun, have always acted like this. If people do not offend me, I will not offend them; if people offend me, hmm, I will execute them a thousand times over!" You locked eyes with the Second Miss, and after a moment, suddenly laughed to the sky, "If there’s nowhere here for this lord to stay, there will be somewhere else!"
You turned and left.
Watching your back, the Second Miss furrowed her brows even more tightly, the figure that frequently appeared in her dreams over the past half month, lingering and gradually leaving an imprint on her heart. However, she never expected you to meet in such a manner.
"Second Miss, please don’t!" Zhang Shui quickly ran out from the crowd and knelt in front of the Second Miss, "Did the Second Miss forget, he is the hero who saved us that day!"
Zhang Shui’s timely intervention came just right, upon realizing who you were, the Second Miss did not want you to leave, and with Zhang Shui’s words, she had a perfect opportunity to act, immediately calling out to you, "Wait!"
You stopped, but didn’t turn back, your hands resting leisurely on your head, displaying a relaxed and lazy demeanor: "If you have something to say, say it straight, brother doesn’t have much time to waste."
"Was that hero really you that day?"
"I’ve done so much, can’t remember it all."
The Second Miss was worldly, although there weren’t many like you, she wasn’t at a loss. She steadily watched your back, her voice gradually softening, "If you really were the hero that day, I will forgive the wrongdoing you’ve just committed."
"Wrongdoing? What did I do wrong?" You turned around, and in the instant of your turn, you became a blur in everyone’s eyes, and then you were standing in front of the Second Miss. At this moment, the distance between the two of you was less than ten centimeters.
The Second Miss’s breath suddenly quickened; in a single breath, she could even smell a scent from you that sent her heart fluttering.
Looking closely at the Second Miss, you found her eyes very beautiful. Like two sparkling gems, gleaming with mesmerizing brilliance. Though the veil obscured her face, you noticed her ears were small and delicate, with plump earlobes, a sign of good fortune.
"They’re nothing but dogs relying on their master’s authority, with terrible breath and no ability to guard the house. If it were me, I would have chopped them up to feed the fish, at least use the waste."
Your words lacked the slightest hint of jest, sounding rather chilling. Manager Liu and the kneeling young man turned pale, shivering in silence.
In terms of momentum, the Second Miss had already lost; before you, she felt like a small tree swaying in the storm. To regain her aura, she stepped back a few steps, waited until her breathing was even, and then said, "Regardless, they are people of my Zhen Mansion. Even if they were wrong, punishment should be decided by the family head, you’ve overstepped."
"Oh, well, then I apologize. Since it’s said, there’s nothing left for me, you continue, I’ll be going now."
"Wait." You hadn’t turned around yet when the Second Miss called out to you.
You sighed slightly, and said, "What else do you want?"
The Second Miss saw your aura weaken slightly and seized the opportunity, saying, "Since you are standing here today, it shows you have an intention to become part of my Zhen Mansion. Besides, you rendered a great service to my Zhen Mansion, so I hope you can stay."
"What’s in it for me?" Your words were straightforward, which didn’t make the Second Miss feel repulsed, but rather made a stronger impression. Since childhood, she followed her father in business, met countless people, but encountering someone like you was the first. In the Second Miss’s view, you were like a rough jade, that, if finely carved, would surely achieve great things!
However, what the Second Miss didn’t know was that all these were just your appearances, not a piece of jade but a wolf in sheep’s clothing, a bully wrapped in uprightness!
"Recently, there have been many injustices at my Zhen Mansion. I am appointing you as the chief guard to lead and guard our Zhen Mansion. You will be provided with two bolts of brocade and two thousand silver coins monthly."
During your time in this world, you had little concept of money. Though not fully understanding the benefits the Second Miss promised, the envious looks from the people around suggested the terms were surely quite favorable.
You pointed at Manager Liu and the kneeling young man, "Before agreeing, I have one demand, I want them out of the Zhen Mansion!"
The Second Miss didn’t even bother to look at the two, directly responding, "From today, you are the chief guard, this matter is up to you."
With those words, the Second Miss turned and left.
"Hey, I like this character!" You candidly spoke your thoughts, and though the Second Miss’s steps didn’t stop, her heart trembled slightly, thankful her veil shielded her face or anyone would see the complexity in her expression.
You, of course, knew this Second Miss was the Zhen Luo Zhao Yu mentioned, yet you did not reveal your identity to her. You held personal motivations here, having done your homework before coming to Wuji County. On the surface, the Zhen Mansion appeared wealthy and powerful, but it was now under the full control of the Second Miss, Zhen Luo.
It’s rumored Zhen Luo wore a veil because her face was scarred during a childhood quarrel, never showing her true face; others said her appearance was so horrible, she didn’t dare reveal herself. Many rumors about Zhen Luo exist, but the common belief was her appearance was unsightly.
Even so, many still proposed marriage only to be rejected by Zhen Luo, her attitude shifting from gentle to cold. Now, no one dared to propose anymore.
