“What the hell?” Ji Dengtu had just been talking to King Liang and reminiscing about his past glories. It felt as if he’d regained his youth! However, when he turned around and glanced in his daughter’s direction, he was met with this outrageous scene!
He had been over the moon just a second ago, yet just a second later, it was as if his entire clan had been robbed. He was about to explode on the spot!
You have successfully trolled Ji Dengtu for 1024 Rage points!
He immediately went mad and charged towards them, but he was stopped by the imperial guards. They might have allowed a delicate and harmless young lady to get close to the criminal, but there was no way they would let such a powerful man do the same.
These soldiers of the Imperial Guard were all respectable warriors, and the Embroidered Envoy was present as well. Not even someone with Ji Dengtu’s cultivation could get past them.
This only made him even more angry.
You have successfully trolled Ji Dengtu for 999… 999… 999…
The pearl that he’d carefully cultivated all these years had been ravaged by a pig! He felt as though he could write ten books about what he was currently feeling.
King Liang quickly stopped him as well. He said with an embarrassed smile, “My friend Ji, please do not let yourself be too bothered about matters between youngsters.
“Of course, as an old friend, I must respectfully offer my advice. If you don’t want your esteemed daughter to live as a widow, you should find her a son-in-law as quickly as possible. I fear that this one won’t survive much longer.”
Ji Dengtu’s eyes burned with righteous fire.
What do you mean, son-in-law? Why the hell would I accept someone not even that bastard Chu Zhongtian wants as a son-in-law?
Hold on, my daughter is so cute and adorable. I don’t even want her to be defiled by a son-in-law. I hate that term!
Ji Xiaoxi finally separated from Zu An. She hid her face in her hands and ran.
Ji Dengtu gave Zu An a hateful glare. “Brat, how dare you bully my Xiaoxi?! If you don’t bring me ten novels the next time I see you, I will kill you even if the emperor doesn’t!”
With that, he immediately took off after his daughter, crying out ‘Xiaoxi’ in a loving manner the entire time.
Something had truly been wrong with him earlier when he agreed to bring his daughter to meet with Zu An. If he knew things would turn out like this, he would never have read this kid’s books.
But I really want to know what happens next… damn it…
King Liang was momentarily speechless. Just how had this Zu An managed to gain the favor of so many girls?
No wonder Sang Qian got so mad when he saw Zu An placed in the same carriage as his wife. They were both from Brightmoon City, so he probably already knew just how much of a lady-killer Zu An was. That explained why he was so worried.
If Sang Qian were able to read his mind, he might just faint from anger. King Liang could already visualize the man screaming away.
Why would I be scared of Zu An’s charm?!
Who would be happy seeing their wife alone with another young man?!
“Stop standing around already. We’re moving out immediately!” King Liang and Liu Yao waved their hands, and their group continued on.
Zu An licked his lips. He looked as though he still hadn’t snapped back to reality.
Zheng Dan said in a slightly sour voice, “I know Miss Ji’s lips are sweet, but do you have to savor the taste of them like that?”
Zu An chuckled but didn’t say anything. There were too many people watching, so he had to choose his words carefully.
The secret message that Ji Xiaoxi had passed on to him appeared in his mind. “If you find yourself in a situation where death seems inevitable, break this pill. This is a Play Dead Pill that I made. Once you ingest it, your body will be just like a corpse for twelve hours, and no one will be able to tell the difference. Whether or not this can help you get away will depend on your own luck.”
Ji Xiaoxi had used the pretense of kissing him to press this pill against the side of his teeth. It suddenly felt as though he had an extra tooth. He felt around it, but it felt just like any other tooth to him. He had no idea how she’d managed to place the pill there so quickly.
This girl’s tongue is so nimble and agile, if this skill was used somewhere else…
Zu An’s face heated up. He immediately began to repent for having these thoughts.
Even the usually timid Xiaoxi gathered the courage to see me. Where the heck are big Manman and big sis Shang? Given their friendship, he’d expected that the two of them would at least send him off.
Hmph, women are heartless after all. I’m going to give you all a good spanking once I’m back!
Wait. If it’s big Manman, I’ll have to hit her somewhere else…
To alleviate the boredom, Zu An let his imagination run wild. Just like that, their group proceeded along the government road.
He suddenly noticed that Zheng Dan seemed rather uncomfortable. Only then did he realize that there wasn’t anything blocking the sunlight from shining down into the prison carriage.
Girls always took great care of their looks. A distinguished daughter like Zheng Dan would have made sure that she was protected from the sun whenever she went out. When did she ever have to go through something like this?
As such, he began to kick up a fuss. King Liang and Liu Yao rushed over when they heard the news. They gave him an impatient look. “What is it now?”
Zu An said, “I want to change carriages.”
“Why?” The two of them looked at Zheng Dan. It can’t be that you’re unhappy being together with a beauty like this, can it?
Zu An said, “This carriage is completely open, and there are always people looking at us. I feel like a monkey in a zoo! Not to mention, I was sexually harassed by a girl earlier because this carriage wasn’t covered up!”
Those around him cursed him immediately when they heard this.
You call that shit ‘sexual harassment’?
You clearly reached your tongue out happily!
We’ll gladly accept this sort of sexual harassment!
You have successfully trolled the Imperial Guard for 666… 666… 666…
King Liang also gritted his teeth in anger. If you give this kid an inch, he takes a mile! However, his previous threat was still fresh in his mind, so he said with a snort, “Send someone to fetch a cover! Cover up this carriage.”
Zu An immediately shook his head. “I won’t sit in a prison carriage, I want to sit in a carriage like yours!” He pointed at the spacious and luxurious carriages that the two imperial leaders occupied.
“An actual carriage?” Liu Yao burst out laughing. “Who do you think you are? You want to sit in such a carriage even though you’re a criminal?”
In the other prison carriage, Sang Qian cursed Zu An for being an idiot. He’d actually brought up this sort of impossible request!
