It looked like she was about to kill him with her watermelons.
(O_O)?!
Boom!
The muffled sound of bodies colliding came from the silent room, and then it fell into dead silence.
Ye Jingtang was pulled toward the bed and knocked back two steps before he could stabilize himself. He raised his arms and caught the beauty in white, whom he didnโt know what she was doing.
Daoist Xuanji crashed into Ye Jingtangโs body and fell again. Her back was supported by his right arm, and her legs were supported by his left arm. She landed in his arms in a standard princess carry. Her originally calm eyes, which were both righteous and evil, twitched imperceptibly.
But Daoist Xuanjiโs mental fortitude was extremely strong. Her expression remained calm as she looked at Ye Jingtang indifferently, with the attitude of โthis is what 1 plannedโ to cover up her small mistake.
Ye Jingtang was stunned when he saw her throwing herself at him. The โheroine, waitโ that he had planned to say turned into: โMiss, please respect yourself! About thatโฆ Saving you yesterday was a normal official duty. Itโs only right that you want to thank me, butโฆ Iโm not a casual person. Youโฆโ
Then he quickly placed Daoist Xuanji back on the bed.
Daoist Xuanji couldnโt say that she was powerless and had failed, so she didnโt explain. She propped the side of her face up with her hand on the bed and put on a faint smile. โTaking advantage of a womanโs unconsciousness to sneak attack her lower body with a hidden weapon, how dare you say that youโre not casual?โ
Ye Jingtang really couldnโt imagine that this demon-like woman in white was actually Great Weiโs emperorโs master, Dumdumโs master.
If he didnโt know her identity and heard someone say that she was a demoness of a demon sect who took pleasure in harming heroes of Jianghu, he wouldnโt doubt it at all. โI showed my waist token for a routine inspection, but Miss, you didnโt reveal your identity and even resisted arrest. When Iโm not sure of your background, using a golden needle to subdue you is according to the procedureโฆโ
Daoist Xuanji narrowed her eyes slightly. โYoung Master, do you think Iโm a reasonable woman? You acted in accordance with the law, so 1 wonโt find trouble with you?โ
From these few words, Ye Jingtang felt that this woman was indeed unreasonable. He said solemnly, โI have a clear conscience. If you have a grudge, thereโs nothing I can do. Also, I asked a female doctor in town to treat your injuries. Iโve been staying in the room next door. If you hadnโt jumped into my arms just now, 1 wouldnโt have offended youโฆโ
Daoist Xuanji carefully observed Ye Jingtangโs expression and felt that he wasnโt lying. She got up, put on her plum blossom embroidered shoes, picked up the small wine gourd on the dressing table, and brought it to her red lips to take a sip.
Gulp-
As the strong wine entered her throat, more memories from yesterday surged into her mind.
After the young constable gave her a shot and approached her, she had seen that there was only focus on doing his job impartially and caution in his eyes, and he didnโt have any ill intentions. So her heartstrings no longer felt tenseโฆ
Although she had let down her guard, her instincts from many years of practicing martial arts were still there. Whether it was when she was seriously injured and unconscious or when she was drunk, her instincts would wake her up when she felt danger. For example, when the young constable approached her and wanted to touch her wrist just now, she woke up instantlyโฆ
She seemed to vaguely remember someone patting her face and a womanโs voice. Then this woman took off her clothes and rubbed her butt to remove the needleโฆ
Her body could feel it, but she didnโt wake up. It could only be said that she subconsciously judged that she was in a very safe environment and didnโt need to wake up forcefully to resistโฆ
Daoist Xuanjiโs state was similar to having a hangover. She seemed to remember something vaguely, but she couldnโt remember it clearly. After feeling that there wasnโt a big problem, she didnโt think about it anymore. She put down the wine gourd and raised her hand slightly. โSha Provinceโs Fierce Womanโs Worry, do you want a drink?โ
Ye Jingtangโs hometown was in Liang Province, which was relatively close to Sha Province. He had heard of this famous wine. The original name of this wine was โHeart Burning Knifeโ. It was mellow in the mouth, but the aftereffects were extremely strong. No matter how chaste a woman was, she would have to lie down and let a man pluck her after drinking one cup. It was the same for men. So the wine was nicknamed โFierce Womanโs Worryโ and โImmortal Kneelingโ.
Because the price was astonishing and output was scarce, Ye Jingtang had indeed never drunk it before. But he couldnโt guess what Daoist Xuanji would do next. How could he drink this wine?
โIโm on official business, so itโs not convenient for me to drink. Iโve just received some news. Miss, if youโve recoveredโฆโ
Daoist Xuanji hung the wine gourd by her waist, went to a chair, and sat down. Her sitting posture was rather quiet. She raised her hand and slowly poured tea. โYou helped me pull out the golden needle. Did you discover my identity?โ
Ye Jingtang nodded and sat down opposite her. โI am Ye Jingtang. Iโve heard a lot about you, Daoist. Seeing you today, youโre indeed extraordinaryโฆโ
Daoist Xuanji raised her finger slightly and interrupted the pleasantries. โYoung Master Ye, you can just call me Miss Shuiโer. Daoist, Daoist priest, and so on are too old-fashioned.โ fr(e)enovelkiss.com
Ye Jingtang thought for a moment and asked, โMiss Shuiโer, your martial arts skills are rarely rivaled by anyone in the world, but yesterdayโฆ May I ask who knocked you out yesterday? Iโm investigating the whereabouts of the Prince of Wu. I donโt know how many powerful people he has under himโฆโ
Daoist Xuanji felt that her invincible image had already collapsed in the heart of the young constable in front of her.
Her secret goal was to search for the Roaring Dragon Chart, and she had pursued Northern Liangโs Thief Sage relentlessly. No one could know about this. But if she didnโt explain clearly, in facing a powerful figure who could knock her down, Ye Jingtang, who was in charge of tracking down the Prince of Wu, probably wouldnโt dare to enter the Wu Mountains again.
Daoist Xuanji deliberated for a moment and explained casually, โI went down the mountain to travel. When I passed by this place, I encountered a black snake with three hundred years of cultivation. It had the image of a flood dragon transforming into a dragon. In order to prevent disaster from affecting the people at the foot of the mountains, I raised my sword and killed it. But I was poisoned by the snakeโs venom..โ
