The night was desolate, serene and peaceful.
The streets of Tiandou City were imrsed in the hazy interplay of stars and moonlight.
"Click-clack, click-clack!"
Luo Yu, following the aura he sensed, wheeled himself into a secluded alley.
In the shadows at the depth of the alley, a slim and graceful silhouette stood with its back to him, as if it had long been waiting there.
Hearing the sound of Luo Yu’s approach, the silhouette slowly turned around.
Golden hair cascaded over her shoulders, and a pure white veil covered her face, revealing only those bright, light purple eyes.
Beneath her fair neck, she wore a gorgeous golden petal battle skirt, tightly enveloping her devilish figure, a waist so slender it seed it couldn’t withstand a single grip, and her long and fair legs were encased in a pair of golden high-heeled boots.
Luo Yu’s lips curled upwards as he waved and chuckled, "Hey wifey, long ti no see."
Qian Renxue’s phoenix eyes, usually detached and transcendent, were caught off guard by Luo Yu’s remark, her teeth clenched, the phoenix cry was loud and clear, her voice filled with indignation and beauty.
"How dare you, who is your wife!"
Luo Yu shook his head, saying languidly, "You should stand straight when you’re getting hit, and accept the outco when you’ve gambled."
"You already lost yourself to last ti."
"Could it be you’ve forgotten about our past already?"
Qian Renxue bit her lip hard under the veil.
Luo Yu raised his eyebrows playfully, "Seems like you forgot, let help you rember?"
"Don’t!"
Qian Renxue scoffed coldly, bluntly refusing.
She certainly didn’t want Luo Yu to bring up that day’s events again.
Under the veil, her cheeks flushed with a rosy hue, her heart filled with embarrassnt.
She desperately tried to forget the day she was humiliated by Luo Yu, but tragically found that the more she tried to forget, the more she couldn’t. The mories of being bullied kept resurfacing in her mind.
"It seems you haven’t forgotten after all." Luo Yu raised an eyebrow, "So are you planning to renege?"
"Renege?" Qian Renxue’s voice heightened, "Would the Young Princess of the Martial Soul Hall renege?"
Luo Yu spread his hands, "If not reneging, shouldn’t a long-lost reunion warrant a ’husband’?"
"You—"
Qian Renxue’s purple eyes narrowed, fixing Luo Yu with a stare.
Luo Yu’s gaze was calm as he simply watched her.
Eventually, Qian Renxue conceded, like a deflated ball.
"Fine, I’ll call you."
"But don’t get cocky, I’m here today to defeat you and wash away my sha."
"I’m not listening to anything else." Luo Yu waved his hand dismissively, "Call and then we’ll talk."
Qian Renxue took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes filled with complexity.
Preparing herself ntally, the words got stuck in her throat and she found herself unable to utter them.
Especially upon seeing Luo Yu’s eager black eyes, it only fueled her anger.
"Alright, don’t call." Luo Yu said.
"Is there such good news?" Qian Renxue was clearly incredulous, silently questioning when this man had ever been so generous.
Luo Yu frowned in distaste, "Calling ’husband’ is too much trouble, I don’t need a wife as half-hearted as you."
"???"
Qian Renxue’s gaze froze, then she fud, her chest heaving.
"What did you say? Say it again if you dare!!"
"Didn’t hear clearly?" Luo Yu raised an eyebrow, "I said, brother has released you back into the fish pond."
"A worthless wife like you, might as well not have."
Qian Renxue’s teeth and eyes clenched tightly, her eyes brimming with firelight.
"Luo Yu, you’ve gone too far!!"
Luo Yu faced the elegant and glamorous Qian Renxue before him.
"When I ask you to call, you hesitate."
"When I tell you not to, you beco hysterical."
"Miss Qian Renxue, what exactly do you want to do?"
"I... I want to kill you!" Qian Renxue wished she could strangle the hateful man before her to death, her emotions had never fluctuated so much in her life.
How could soone of her status be spoken to like that?
With her pride high as a peacock, she could tolerate teasing, but despising was sothing she could not bear.
"Planning to murder your own husband?" Luo Yu smiled, "Then it’s an even wiser decision not to want you."
"Damn it."
Qian Renxue’s fists were clenched tight, her legs taut as she fixed her gaze on Luo Yu.
Seeing Luo Yu’s lack of enthusiasm, his face alight with amusent.
Qian Renxue suddenly took a light breath, and her knitted brows slowly relaxed.
"You want to provoke ? I just won’t let you get your way!"
Luo Yu shrugged, "I’m not trying to provoke you, I seriously want to divorce you."
"No way!"
Qian Renxue coldly stopped him, "Once I defeat you, I will divorce you, not the other way around."
"It’s just calling you husband, I’ll call!"
Qian Renxue paused, her red lips under the veil opening and closing, dryly saying, "Hus... band..."
"Band."
Luo Yu was initially having fun, listening with great interest.
After all, the joy of teasing a proud princess like Qian Renxue was sothing others simply couldn’t understand.
By the end, a black line rose on his forehead.
"I’d appreciate it if you could drop that last ’band’ for ."
Seeing Luo Yu’s emotions fluctuating for the first ti, Beautiful Eyes glead.
A playful smirk flashed across her lips.
"What’s wrong, hus... band, don’t you like it when soone calls you that?"
Luo Yu found this pronunciation awkward to his ears.
n always have a particular aversion to words like ’eunuch’ or ’sterile.’
"Qian Renxue, I think we should actually et sowhere else."
"Why?"
Luo Yu said seriously, "If we t in a hotel, I could let you experience firsthand how much of a man your husband is and whether I’m really a ’sterile’ or not."
"What?"
Qian Renxue didn’t react at first, but then she spat lightly, her face covered with crimson blush.
"You—"
"How can you be such a rascal."
Luo Yu smiled without a word.
Woman, you’re still too inexperienced to compete with .
Still, Qian Renxue wasn’t ordinary by any ans, quickly regaining her composure.
She reverted to her cold deanor.
"Husband, shall we have a rematch now?"
Luo Yu scratched his ear, "So dry and dull, are you reciting an essay here or what?"
"Husband~"
Qian Renxue’s voice was coquettish and lodious.
As charming as could be, as tender as one could imagine.
After calling out, her lips parted slightly, she clasped her chest, and feigned retching.
"Are you satisfied now?"
Luo Yu shook his head, "Have you ever seen a wife who ets her husband while still wearing a veil?"
Qian Renxue’s breath hitched, reminding herself silently.
Just endure it a bit longer.
After I defeat this guy, all the sha will be avenged manifold.
I will make this guy suffer my sha and pain as well.
With her slender jade fingers, she removed her veil, revealing that astonishing face.
The delicate nose, petal-like small mouth, and morbidly pale silky smooth cheeks seed to brighten the dim alley in an instant.
"Call out," Luo Yu said, leaning back, sitting there with his arms crossed.
Qian Renxue’s lips moved, her throat vibrating.
"Husband~"
The stunning face, the voluptuous figure, the soft tone.
Luo Yu felt his ears were about to lt.
He gestured with his hand.
"Enough, no need to call anymore, didn’t you co here to fight? Let’s start."
Seeing no trace of infatuation in the man’s eyes, only clarity,
Qian Renxue’s expression stiffened.
What did this guy an, after being called so sweetly?
Not even a word of praise?
Was she really that charmless?
Hidden away, Qian Daoliu had been lurking in the shadows from early on.
Already fuming, his beard puffing, and his eyes glaring, he wore an expression of disappointnt.
Desperate to jump out and stop Qian Renxue from making a fool of herself.
My silly granddaughter.
This opponent is obviously a big scoundrel, a master at manipulating won’s emotions.
Don’t you realize by now, you’re being led by the nose!!
From the perspective of soone who’s been through it,
Qian Daoliu felt like his granddaughter was like a little lamb, running step by step into the mouth of the big bad wolf.
