In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 170: Overheard in the Pavilion

The man replied, "With your skills being so good, I’d give up anyone else before I’d give you up. What, do you want me to dote on you properly?"

The woman said in a tender, coquettish voice, "In broad daylight, under the open sky, it does have a different kind of thrill. I’m just afraid that if you exhaust yourself with me now, you won’t be able to enjoy yourself tonight."

After being provoked by her words, the man lunged forward.

Yue Mingxuan was standing so close that he could even hear the sound of fabric tearing.

In broad daylight, these two were really too bold.

He pressed himself tightly against the tree, not daring to make the slightest sound.

Before long, the man’s heavy breathing and the woman’s soft moans could be heard.

Yue Mingxuan had no choice but to cover his ears, not daring to move at all.

After a while, when both of them had had their fill and the sounds of panting finally stopped, the man’s voice sounded again.

"So, tell me, am I good or not?"

The woman’s voice was so alluring it seemed as though it could drip with sweetness. "My lord, you’re so valiant, perhaps that Bai Huayue won’t be able to withstand it."

The man felt greatly pleased by the flattery and said, "You little slut, you’ve only just tasted my prowess. When I’ve properly trained Bai Huayue, the two of you can serve me together, that will truly satisfy you."

When Yue Mingxuan heard them mention Bai Huayue in their words, a trace of suspicion arose in his heart and he immediately pricked up his ears to listen more carefully.

He then heard the man speak again. "Where did you put the drug?"

The woman seemed somewhat dissatisfied with the man’s impatience. "Is my lord really in such a hurry? Of course I put the drug into the teapot she habitually uses. If my lord succeeds, don’t forget our agreement."

The man said, "You get Bai Huayue into my bed and I’ll help you seize power within Flying Opera Group. A mutually beneficial arrangement, this lord will never go back on his word."

Seeing that the man intended to keep his promise, the woman was overjoyed.

She leaned forward to tease him and before long, obscene sounds once again echoed from within the pavilion.

Although Yue Mingxuan did not know the exact details of what that shameless pair inside the pavilion were plotting, just hearing the words "drug" was enough for him to know that they intended to harm Bai Huayue.

Even though he had only met Bai Huayue a few times, he had already come to regard her as an elder sister in his heart.

Anxiety immediately arose within him and he prepared to turn around and leave at once.

Perhaps Yue Mingxuan was simply having a run of bad luck that day.

Just as he turned around, he stepped on a dry tree branch.

Because there was no one else around, the sharp crack of breaking wood sounded especially loud.

Hearing the noise, the man’s expression changed drastically.

If his return to the capital were discovered this time, it would cost him his life.

He shoved away the woman straddling him and, with a twist of his body, he flew straight toward the tree where Yue Mingxuan was hiding.

Seeing the man coming with such ferocity, Yue Mingxuan quickly rolled on the ground, barely avoiding the attack. "Spare me, my lord! This servant was just passing by. I didn’t see anything at all!"

Seeing that Yue Mingxuan’s movements did not resemble those of someone who knew martial arts, the man withdrew his attack and said, "Speak. Who sent you to spy on me? Tell the truth and you might live. Otherwise, I’ll send you straight to the military camp to be a camp prostitute."

Yue Mingxuan quickly put on a frightened expression and said, "No one sent this servant. This servant is a maid from Wu Bingjian’s household. I had an urgent need to relieve myself today and accidentally wandered in here."

The man stared at Yue Mingxuan and asked suspiciously, "I remember the servants’ quarters aren’t anywhere near here."

At this moment, the woman in the pavilion had also finished arranging her clothes.

She slowly walked up to Yue Mingxuan while barefoot. She gently lifted Yue Mingxuan’s chin with her hand, then immediately turned her head away in disgust.

Miracle Doctor Gongsun’s face altering ointment had superb effects at this moment, more than half of Yue Mingxuan’s face was covered with bluish purple birthmarks, making him look extremely frightening.

The man also seemed to be startled by Yue Mingxuan’s appearance and a trace of disgust appearing on his face as well.

Yue Mingxuan sneaked a glance at him, then immediately lowered his head as if frightened, yet etched the man’s appearance deeply into his memory.

For some reason, he felt that this man looked very familiar, but he could not recall where he had seen him before.

...

Seeing that the fear in Yue Mingxuan’s eyes did not seem feigned and adding that he truly appeared to have no martial skills at all, the man’s guard lowered somewhat. He asked, "What did you hear?"

Yue Mingxuan thought for a moment, then put on an even more frightened expression and said, "This servant... this servant heard you and that young lady engaging in marital affairs."

The man considered it briefly, then said, "Get lost. If I find out that today’s events have spread outside, you should know what kind of end you’ll face."

Hearing that the man was going to let him go, a trace of joy flashed through Yue Mingxuan’s heart.

It seemed that the acting classes he had taken back in school had not been in vain, otherwise, today would truly have ended badly.

He quickly performed a sloppy bow toward the man and was about to grease his feet and flee, but the woman stopped him.

"Tsk tsk, Wu Bingjian’s family is truly wealthy. Just look at this maid’s hands, so fair and tender, even more delicate than those of the princesses in the palace."
