Rejected Beauty Practices the Villain Play-Chapter 894 - 869: Madman
Xie Jue kicked him into the lake!
Fang Chuning, along with his fishing rod, was kicked into the lake by Xie Jue before he could even reel in the fish. As he splashed around in the water, the fish wriggled off the hook and darted away. Fang Chuning’s bamboo hat fell off and floated on the lake’s surface while people on a boat in the middle of the lake shouted that someone had fallen in. Before they could come to the rescue, Fang Chuning surfaced, treading water in the deep area and looking at the breathtaking beauty before him.
The beauty, however, looked down at him from a commanding height, now standing on the rock where Fang Chuning had been sitting, with a cold and foreboding tone, "Who am I?"
"Beauty!" Fang Chuning was completely baffled and furious. Anyone would be angry to be fishing peacefully and suddenly kicked into the lake. Fang Chuning was no exception, "Are you crazy? Why did you kick me?"
The beauty possessed a face that exuded an unfriendly, excessively cold allure, but his behavior was truly crude. Just as Fang Chuning was about to climb ashore, Xie Jue pressed him back into the lake. Fang Chuning, barely recovered from his injuries, was seized by his collar and pushed underwater. He struggled desperately, but to no avail. Water gushed down his throat into his chest and lungs, making it hard to breathe. A fierce survival instinct kicked in, and he suddenly grabbed Xie Jue’s wrist, pulling him into the water with him. The two of them plunged into the lake together.
The Shadow Guard nearby was stunned, unsure whether to rescue them. Xie Jue was not a good swimmer, making it his weak spot. Since childhood, the Second Young Master had a peculiar habit of not wanting to bathe or swim with others. He barely learned a bit while in Ningzhou. The Shadow Guard was worried something might happen to him, and hesitated, choosing instead to watch and wait.
Fang Chuning’s strength was formidable, and he quickly pinned Xie Jue underwater. The two of them tangled and fought below the surface until Fang Chuning realized that Xie Jue seemed to be choking, at which point he lifted him out of the water.
"I’ve tolerated you..."
Smack!
Just as Fang Chuning was about to cuss him out, Xie Jue slapped him across the face, gripping his collar, almost twining around his limbs, as if they were both going to drown together, "Who am I?"
Fang Chuning wanted to push him away, but Xie Jue clung too tightly, his eyes, worn from overnight travel, were obsessive and crazed, winding around him like vines. It seemed as if failing to answer would mean they plunged to the lake’s bottom together. Fang Chuning saw a terrifying murderous intent in his eyes.
But the water was too deep, and being entangled and pressed by Xie Jue, Fang Chuning soon ran out of strength. The Shadow Guard at the shore hesitated to intervene, while Fang Chuning kicked out at Xie Jue’s waist and abdomen. To control Xie Jue’s madness and prevent himself from genuinely drowning, Fang Chuning forcefully twisted Xie Jue’s right hand out of its socket.
Xie Jue let out a muffled groan, suddenly losing his strength.
Shadow Guard: "..."
If it were anyone else, they would have drawn their swords by now. But since it was Fang Chuning, the Shadow Guard didn’t know what to do. With one of Xie Jue’s arms incapacitated, Fang Chuning finally escaped. Even so, he ingested several gulps of lake water and clambered ashore in a sorry state, dragging Xie Jue, with his crippled arm, alongside him. The Shadow Guard was nowhere to be seen. Xie Jue, soaking wet and in pain from his dislocated arm, still glared fiercely at Fang Chuning.
Fang Chuning was also bedraggled, his clothes disheveled, his hairpin lost in the lake, his hair untidily disarrayed. Meeting Xie Jue’s fierce stare, he cursed, "Are you insane? If you want to die, go do it somewhere else! Don’t drag me with you. Who the hell knows who you are, or what deep-seated enmity you have that you try to drown me!"
"You hit me?"
"You’re insane! Who’s hitting whom?"
"You hit me?"
"No, you’re just some lunatic with a face. Go get your head checked!"
"You hit me?"
Fang Chuning lost it, "Brother, is that all you can say?"
From calling him a beauty to addressing him as brother, Fang Chuning thought this man must be ill, "Not drowning you in the lake is my kindness. I don’t enjoy killing living things, you madman!"
