In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 111: Secrets Revealed
What Yue Mingxuan did not expect was that the moment Shang Qinghua spoke, he revealed her greatest secret: "You are not Yue Mingxuan. Then who are you?"
Suppressing the shock rising in his chest, Yue Mingxuan forced himself to remain calm.
"Prince Shang, you are quite the joker," he replied with a steady voice.
Shang Qinghua did not say another word.
He took two steps forward and raised his hand, intending to lift Yue Mingxuan’s mask.
However, Yue Mingxuan nimbly dodged his hand and stepping aside.
"Prince Shang, please show some restraint," he warned.
When Shang Qinghua heard this he immediately laughed. "You wanted to live and die with Rong Tieshan, didn’t you? So what if If I have wronged you? If you can then have him come and find me."
Yue Mingxuan was confused.
Live and die with Rong Tieshan?
What was he talking about?
Had Shang Qinghua lost his mind?
He did not dare say such thoughts aloud in front of Shang Qinghua, so he only cursed silently in his heart.
While he was thinking this, a cold and sudden kiss landed on his lips.
Yue Mingxuan widened his eyes in shock.
He stared at Shang Qinghua’s handsome face so close that he forgot to breathe.
Oh my... oh my... oh my!
Was this what people call a forced kiss?
Back in his previous life, Yue Mingxuan had been a complete loner in the military.
Any romantic advances from other people would enough to make him shy away instantly.
And now, in this ancient era, he had stumbled upon such a massive stroke of romantic luck?
Maybe a little audacious, but after all, it was a handsome man...
Shang Qinghua watched Yue Mingxuan’s scattered thoughts with a touch of disbelief.
When had any people he kissed ever lost in thought after being kissed by him?
Was he really so unappealing?
After biting Yue Mingxuan’s lips slightly almost as punishment Shang Qinghua finally straightened his body, feeling satisfied. "This is the interest you owe me on three thousand taels of gold. Or, if you feel I’ve wronged you, once your ’fiancé’ recovers, have him come to me."
When Yue Mingxuan heard this, his first instinct was to kick hard on a certain part of him, but he knew well that against Shang Qinghua, he was nothing more than a three-legged little kitten and a young one at that.
He wiped his lips with the back of his hand and telling himself it was like being bitten by a dog.
Shang Qinghua who had collected his "interest," smiled faintly.
It was his first time enjoying kissing someone this much.
Yue Mingxuan’s lips felt exquisite, like ripe plums.
It was soft, warm, with a hint of sweetness.
Such "interest" was worth collecting more of in the future.
By late night, as expected, Rong Tieshan began to run a fever.
Yue Mingxuan felt some worry.
Although fever could fight off certain infections, it could also damage healthy cells.
He could not present a foolish and feverish Rong Tieshan to the emperor.
If he really did so recklessly, he thought, he might end up harming Rong Tieshan himself.
He instructed the attendants to bring warm water to wipe Rong Tieshan’s body.
He carefully not to touch the wound and then quietly withdrew to the outer chamber.
He already had enough on his mind; it was best to avoid situations that could be misinterpreted.
When he alone, Yue Mingxuan could not help thinking again about Shang Qinghua’s kiss.
Combined with the incident in the cave, this was the second time they had had such close contact.
What was going on?
Did he really look that frivolous?
He sighed.
Without martial skills, one was always easy to bully.
With nothing else to do, Yue Mingxuan emptied his mind and opened the storage space for the jade bracelets.
The space was empty and he felt tears welling up.
Every time he encountered Shang Qinghua, trouble always followed him afterwards.
The gold was gone and now his first kiss is gone too.
Suddenly, a faint light flickered in the corner of the space.
Yue Mingxuan’s heart leapt.
Could there be leftover gold?
With a thought, the shining object floated into his hand.
It was not gold, but a book, its cover gilded in gold.
Yue Mingxuan didn’t remember when he had placed the book inside the jade bracelet.
He curiously opened it and found diagrams marking the flow of internal energy.
Could this be the legendary martial arts manual?
With this book, he could become a true martial arts master.
Thinking about his future life of heroics, dressed in fine clothes and riding fast horses, Yue Mingxuan wanted to throw his head back and laugh aloud three times.
He eagerly began to read through the book.
The night then passed very quickly.
Yue Mingxuan who is completely absorbed in studying the manual had not slept a wink.
It wasn’t until one of the attendants stepped in quietly and said, "Your Highness, Prince Rong has awakened. He says he wants to see you. Shall I..."
Yue Mingxuan quickly tucked the book back into the jade bracelet and followed the attendant into the inner chamber.
On the bed, Rong Tieshan’s eyes were open.
Although his face was still slightly pale, he had clearly regained consciousness.
Practicing martial arts certainly had its advantages, Yue Mingxuan thought with a hint of admiration.
He had expected Yue Mingxuan to remain unconscious for two or three more days, but he had woken after just one night.
"Mingxuan... are you alright?" Rong Tieshan’s voice was weak, but the concern in it was unmistakable.
Yue Mingxuan stepped forward and looking carefully at him.
"I’m fine. You should rest properly," he said.
The attendants who is know their presence was no longer needed withdrew quietly.
So, only the two of them remained in the room.
Seeing Yue Mingxuan’s reserved and distant manner, Rong Tieshan smiled wryly.
"Honestly, I don’t even know why I acted that way. By the time I realized it, it had already happened."
