Chapter 348: The Flower Thief
was still the dashing young man from before, but she never expected that his face had been burned so severely."Was the county princess doing that on purpose That maid would know best, wouldn't she Do...Soon, they arrived at a secluded spot. The man gently placed Xiao Yuge down and shook his arms, wiping the sweat from his forehead: “This little girl doesn't look fat, how come she's so heavy” He had no idea that Xiao Yuge had been using the thousand-jin weight taught to her by Qian Tingxuan along the way. She wouldn’t be this heavy if she wasn’t!
The man threw off the black hooded cloak on his head, revealing an ordinary face. Yet, he was incredibly confident. He leaned closer to Xiao Yuge and, upon seeing her appearance, couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect that after being a flower thief for so long, I would actually meet such a celestial beauty tonight. It's been worth living this life."
Xiao Yu Ge listened and secretly frowned: "He's actually the flower thief those girls were talking about. It's like finding a needle in a haystack, but he came to me effortlessly!" Tonight, she would be doing the people a favor by getting rid of him.
"Such a beautiful little beauty, if she remained unresponsive, wouldn't that be a waste of such a wonderful night" The man gently patted Xiao Yuge's cheek: "Miss, wake up..."
Xiao Yu's song pretended to just wake up, the moment she opened her eyes, she was frightened and her face paled: "You, who are you" She subconsciously looked around, her panic increasing: "Where is this place Why did you bring me here"
That panicked look, perfectly portrayed the helpless image of a weak woman. Perhaps, this flower thief never dreamed that this harmless little innocent could split him in half with just a flick of her wrist.
"Don't be afraid, little girl. I'm only captivated by your beauty. As long as you cooperate with me, I won't harm you. Moreover, you are so beautiful, like a fairy. If you are willing to follow me in the future, I would even be willing to give up being a flower thief for you."
"No! Don't hurt me! Don't hurt me!" Xiao Yu Ge had already clasped the bone blade in her sleeve, knowing his identity now. He wouldn't need to live anymore.
"Be good, listen to me, I promise to be gentle later, making it a memory you'll never forget!" The man chuckled wickedly, his hand moving to undo his outer garment.
A figure flickered behind him, and under the moonlight, someone had appeared there at some unknown time!
By the time the man realized, it was too late. He whirled around and shouted, "Who are you How dare you interfere with my business"
He leisurely adjusted his clothes and scratched his ear before slowly saying, "I say, why did you kidnap her of all people You really are courting death!"
Hearing this voice, Xiao Yuge slightly furrowed her brow: It's really annoying, he's here to steal her work again. How does he always run into her!
"What do you mean" The flower thief apparently didn't understand.
"That means you're getting impatient with life!"
"You!" The flower thief was enraged, about to teach him a lesson, but at that moment, a soft voice came from behind.
"Young Master Wuyue, the world truly is small. To meet you here at this time..." Xiao Yuge sighed helplessly, "I was hoping to practice my skills properly, but it seems tonight I'll have no chance."
To everyone's surprise, the person who had suddenly appeared was actually the Wuyue Gongzi of Qinfeng Guan!
"Then that proves we're destined to meet." Wuyue Gongzi's smile didn't lessen, and she even shot Xiao Yuge a look full of allure.
The flower thief finally turned to look at Xiao Yuge, but found that she had already stood up. Her face no longer held the timidity from before. Listening to the conversation between the two, he realized that he might have caught the wrong person tonight.
"You, you're actually fine" He was shocked. The girls he had drugged with the sleeping powder would generally be limp even after waking up, but Xiao Yuge here was standing there as if nothing had happened, how could he not be surprised
"With your paltry tricks, you dare to show off in front of this young lady You're simply not good enough! Don't even think about trying to fool me with that measly sleeping draught. Even if you gave this young lady a whole bowl, she wouldn't even faint."
"Who, who exactly are you" At this moment, the flower thief seemed a little panicked, guessing that he had suffered a setback tonight and encountered a tough opponent. If he had known better, he would have stayed home. He shouldn't have come out tonight.
At that time, seeing so many beauties on the street, he couldn't help himself and played his old trick again. When looking for a target, he happened to see Xiao Yu Ge who was being harassed by those three ruffians. So, he took advantage of the situation, like a mantis catching a cicada while a sparrow watches from behind.
"Who I am doesn't matter, what matters is that you've fallen into my hands!" Xiao Yuge coughed lightly and then asked, "It seems you are the flower thief they have been talking about these days I ask you, were those girls killed by you" Xiao Yuge looked straight at the flower thief, her eyes no longer holding even a trace of fear from before.
The flower thief's face turned pale instantly, and he hurriedly waved his hands: "I, I only defiled them, I didn't harm their lives!"
Xiao Yu sang with a raised eyebrow, "Oh So you think because they were defiled, you shouldn't die" He knew those girls would have died regardless upon returning. In this era, every woman held chastity above life itself.
"I know I'm guilty, but my crime doesn't deserve death. Besides, with just the two of you, you want to kill me What a delusion!" The flower thief believed Xiao Yuge wouldn't use martial arts, so he thought she was his breakthrough point.
Xiao Yu Ge let out a cold snort, a hint of amusement in her voice as she retorted, "The same words could be said back to you. You still want to escape under his nose Do you know who he is" She pointed at the Moonless Master across from them.
"I don't care who he is, you can't stop me!" The flower thief's tone was still quite arrogant, but he would soon pay a heavy price for it.
"Really He's the Un Yue Gongzi of Qing Feng Guan. Are you sure you can beat him" Xiao Yu Ge didn't have any experience fighting Un Yue Gongzi, but as the leader of Qing Feng Guan, a powerful force behind the scenes in the martial arts world, how could his martial arts skills be weak This mere flower thief, how could he possibly be his opponent.
"Mr. Wuyue" The flower thief looked Mr. Wuyue up and down, first stunned, then burst into laughter: "Who do I think it is It's Mr. Wuyue from Qingfeng Pavilion! While my skills in serving women on the bed might not be as good as his, this skill with my hands, that's another story altogether. With him, a man who isn't quite a man and a woman who isn't quite a woman, how could he possibly..."
Before he could finish writing, a flicker of movement caught his eye. In the blink of an eye, a hand gripped his neck with surprising force. A long, slender hand clamped onto his throat, and gazing at the face of the man in front of him – beautiful beyond gender definition – he turned pale as death.ady guessed that what he was about to say would surely touch upon his taboo. But for the sake of Lan Zhao as a whole, he was willing to accept anything."Your Majesty is wise..."The Pearl Mansion.Xiao...
