Book 2 Chapter 11 – As Poisonous as Vipers and Scorpions
Kou Zhong pressed his ear against the wooden door, applied his energy to listen, and aftersure that there was no one in the hallway, he pushed the door and stuck out his head to look, and then darted out
Xu Ziling followed closely behind If he said he was not nervous, then he was lying
The kitchen was located at the aft; hence they had to go through the hallway, going up the stairs, and across a zhang or so of deck, before they could reach the entrance to the galley
There were tind lanterns hanging on either end of the hallway, one toward the bow, the other toward the stern; in between these two lanterns, the hallas dimly lit At this time of the day, other than the crew on duty, most people were sound asleep
The two boys channeled their qi to lighten their body; like a ghost they flitted toward the stern To their shock, as they reached the stairs leading to the deck, they heard voices co, it was Yun Yuzhen’s tender laughter
The two boys were so frightened that their soul fleay and scattered; because the distance would not give theh time to sneak back to their room In their panic, they did not care which way to take, they pushed the door to the big room where the Ol’ Chen imparted his skills, and slipped inside
Only here they could hide temporarily
Familiar with the layout of the room, they hid theainst the outboard wall, closest to the sea, while praying in their heart that Yun Yuzhen was not out to look for them
‘Squeak!’ the workshop door was pushed open The two boys were happy and scared at the same time
Happy because obviously Yun Yuzhen came to this level not to look for theht find they, to
If it were other people, even if their inner poere deeper and purer than the two boys’, it would still be difficult to hide from a martial art master of Yun Yuzhen’s caliber
But since the ‘Secret to Long Life’ was the Taoist school’s highest cultivation technique, its focus was on ood health in the deepest and y circulation, the body functioned like ani became as if it was nonexistent, the essence of qi vanished Plus Yun Yuzhen was not intentionally trying to find them, hence her senses did not detect the two boys’ presence
At first they only heard Yun Yuzhen’s barely audible footsteps, but the two boys sensed that there were two people entering the room, because Yun Yuzhen was already inside the roo closed
Yun Yuzhen’s alluring laughter was heard, “Ce Ge [big brother Ce]! Coshi+p model; we lost three oing to reward us?” Surprisingly, her voice was extraordinarily foxy, char, tender, and coy
And then they heard Yun Yuzhen’s soft groan, followed by her panting and the rustling of clothes rubbing against each other
The two boys felt very embarrassed; they had never expected that Yun Yuzhen, who ordinarily treated them in cold and inviolable manners, was now sounded like a sex-kitten
On the other hand, they were greatly terrified, because this man’s footsteps did not create any noise at all; apparently his martial art skill was above Yun Yuzhen’s
Then a chipper young voice said, “Yuzhen, you look fuller now Look! Such a fir for breath, Yun Yuzhen said, “How about you coht fly away tonight?”
Hearing this, the two boys’ heart was burning with hatred; this Beautiful shi+fu’s standing in their heart has just taken a thousand zhang drop
Obviously the man released Yun Yuzhen, since the latter said, “Why haven’t you lighted the lantern?”
The lantern was lit Yun Yuzhen said, “Shan Mei Xianren Mada’s [see Book 2 Chapter 5] power has reached perfection; fortunately I knew that in the next seven days she is at Pengcheng [lit Peng City] to meet Li Yuan Her return trip will take at least ten days That will be our only chance to steal the account book”
The ood? They still have Dong Ming Pai’s little princess and the law-protector fairies on the shi+p; all are first-class hed and said, “Those two kids are as shosts; the only proble Technique; otherwise, with intention can be considered without intention This ht pretend to attack the Floating Fragrance Flagshi+p, to lure their martial art experts out, so that they can make their escape There shouldn’t be any problehed and said, “Each time you, this coquettish fox, mention those two kids, you always have your brows raised in delight and your eyes laughing Are you thinking of tasting their virginity?”
Yun Yuzhen laughed and swore, “With you, this big-headed ghost, would I look at those two little ruffians whose smell of mother’s milk has not dried yet? It’s just that they can still be considered rising star [the original was ‘darker’: delight of a girl trafficked into a brothel to work as prostitute] Because the rave ieneration u Clan, to cooods At that time we can easily kill the an all-out effort for your sake, but unexpectedly you said such thing about others Ah … oh …”
The two people were , it was as if they heard thunder from a clear blue sky, their heart was completely broken; turned out the truth was this cruel All those sweet speech and honeyed words fro but lies
At the sa’s backing was actually one of the four powerful clans, the Dugu Clan Plus this ainst the Li Clan or perhaps the Yuwen Clan
Then they heard Yun Yuzhen’s voice; o back to my roohts should be peaceful and safe, but as soon as we enter Huai River, I can’t guarantee anything I don’t kno Du Fuwei got wind that the two little demons are on u Ce’s ‘Bi Luo Jianfa’ [sky-blue fall sword] to deal with his ‘Xiu Li Qiankun’ [universe in his sleeve]”
“Don’t worry!” Dugu Ce arrogantly said, “Er Ge [second (older) brother] has personally prepared martial art hter Du Fuwei At that tih for us to fear”
Yun Yuzhen said, “When your Dugu Clan obtain the world [tian xia] in the future, don’t forget u Ce lowered his voice, “Are you sure that those two kids really don’t know the secret of Duke Yang’s treasure trove?”
“I am sure,” Yun Yuzhen replied, “Once I intentionally mocked them that they did not the treasure’s location, while I paid close attention to their reaction and facial expression I knew that Fu Junchuo did not tell them The fact is, Fu Junchuo has always been Gaoli people, how could she possibly spill the secret to Han people? Come!”
The door closed The sound of footsteps h of relief, but still felt extre’s ear, “There will co said wryly, “Looks like it won’t be too late for us to steal chicken e get to Huai River”
Kou Zhong sighed and said, “Let’s go back to bed!”
That night they did not sleep well When dawn came, they woke up and went to the deck to enjoy the ocean view, and their ulls hovered behind the shi+p; the two boys watched with rapt attention how the seagulls flew in arcs; a corew in their ulls and forgot about everything else
Suddenly Yun Yuzhen’s voice came from behind, “Why woke up so early today?” she asked
The two boys intentionally did not turn their head around, Kou Zhong only mumbled incoherently in reply
Yun Yuzhen stood next to Xu Ziling “Haven’t you seen seagulls before?” she asked in astonishave her an indifferent look; recalling that last night she said it with her own u Ce to kill them to shut their mouth, and that he has finally seen her salacious nature, a sense of loathing bubbled up in his heart Turning his gaze back to the seagulls, he said in heavy tone, “Naturally seagulls are a lot ; at least live a carefree live, without any fear of being har was afraid Yun Yuzhenhas always been a helpless romantic Beautiful shi+fu must not blame him”
How could Yun Yuzhen know that the two boys have discovered her secret? With a char people always have their minds filled with fantasy Just enjoy the view for a er, and then come down to have breakfast with me! I will tell you racefully left
Three days later, the shi+p finally reached the water where Huai RiverHuai River
The people on the shi+p grew tense again Yun Yuzhen even issued a strict order for the two boys to stay inside their roo, while other people were focusing their attention to the enealley to steal three chickens and brought them back into their room, where they waited patiently
The two boys were fully dressed, with their weapons tied behind their back; and then they separately stationed themselves by theand by the door to listen to the activity outside
By the third watch of the night [between 11p straight toward their roo to be asleep
There was a knock on the door, followed by the door being pushed open Yun Zhi’s voice was heard, “Get dressed quickly, I’ll co for any response, she closed the door
The two boys juhtered the chicken and collected their blood, which they put into four empty stolen wine bottles, and divided the bottles into two halves When they were just hiding the bottles into their pockets, Yun Zhi returned She beckoned theht that moment the hull suddenly shook violently, the shi+p was h speed back to where they were co concluded that not only the ene in full force and posed a real threat to Jukun Bang, putting them in a rather difficult situation Only the two boys did not knoent wrong
The hallas full of people going back and forth, there were a lot of people that they had never seen before but nowtheir appearance They all seeiant stor quickened his steps to ask Yun Zhi, “Who’s co?”
Yun Zhi lost her usual composure; rudely and i fell back to Xu Ziling and said in a low voice, “Little ruffian will always be little ruffian”
Naturally Xu Ziling understood what he meant If it were not they accidentally ca’s treasure-trove’, Jianghu people would definitely look down on therand prestige as the trusted ard them as anybody important; simply because she received Yun Yuzhen’s order that she treated the two boys with fake respect and addressed thezi that Now that they encountered eone
Yun Zhi led them to the main deck The two boys took the opportunity to look around They saw five big shi+ps about two li upstreah speed
The deck was full of Jukun Bang warriors; everybody looked tensed and alert, ready to fight the ene toward the bohere about twenty people gathered, including Yun Yuzhen and the deputy clan leader Bu Tianzhi, who time
The other people looked different froht omen, each one was as beautiful as a flower When they saw the two boys, their beautiful eyes were shi+ning with curiosity
