Chapter 114: Are You Coming Again Tonight?

…

“Fair Lady Leng, Fairy Leng.” Yang Jintian shot a fierce glare at Lei Qing before turning and chasing after her. He had kindly invited Leng Yuewu to come, but it had ended up like this.

“Dear nephew~” Xiahou Huan, a mighty man from the Northwest, was on the verge of tears. He had originally wanted to curry favor with Leng Yuewu, but he never expected to offend her so thoroughly. He shook his head helplessly and said, “Let’s go. We should head back.”

“Uncle Xiahou, don’t worry. Leng Yuewu is a Holy Rank power house and the Palace Master of Moon Cold Palace. Given her status and position, if she says she won’t hold grudges against the Iron Cavalry Regiment, she certainly won’t.”

Lei Qing had also been annoyed by Leng Yuewu’s fickleness, which is why he spoke with such righteous indignation.

“How can I be worried about the Iron Cavalry Regiment?” Xiahou Huan glared at him with fierce eyes: “I’m worrying about you! I thought you were easy to get along with and respected your elders. Why are you so abrupt when you talk to Fairy Leng? Why are you so aggressive and offend her? Has Fairy Leng ever offended you?”

“Uncle, maybe I drank too much last night. Or perhaps because of the long escape of thousands of miles, I suffered a lot. Unknowingly, I transferred my resentment towards Yu Shanshan onto Senior Leng.” Lei Qing respected Xiahou Huan, who had taken such good care of him. As the saying goes, “People respect me by a foot, and I respect them by a yard.”

Actually, calling Lei Qing aggressive was somewhat unjust. Last night, Leng Yuewu was the one who was really aggressive. She held a sword to his neck and forcibly took his innocence.

On the other hand, Li Baobao, who had remained silent all along, was secretly pleased. She stepped forward to comfort him and said, “Uncle Xiahou, please don’t blame Lei Qing. I guess last night when I told Lei Qing that someone would pick me up today, he was in a bad mood and had some drinks with his brothers. Then today…” Li Baobao didn’t finish her sentence. In her heart, she thought that Lei Qing must have seen Leng Yuewu coming to take her back. Thinking about the impending separation, he was in a particularly bad mood and might have taken it out on others?

It turned out that although Lei Qing talked tough, he didn’t really want to leave. At that moment, the more Li Baobao thought about it, the more she believed it was true.

“Who would be in a bad mood just because you are leaving?” Lei Qing glanced at her sideways: “I have been hoping you would leave cleanly. You are like a detonation crystal that could explode at any moment. If I keep you for one more day, who knows what people your old man would send to eliminate me?”

Li Baobao’s pretty eyes flashed. Just as she wanted to retort, she forcibly suppressed her temper. Instead, she smiled at Lei Qing gently and said, “Lei Qing, I know you always have a tough tongue but a soft heart, and you often say the opposite of what you mean. Alright, alright. In consideration of the fact that you got drunk for me and ended up offending Fairy Leng while being depressed, I won’t hold this against you. I’ll go home first to see my father, so he won’t worry too much. When things calm down, I will come to visit you.”

Lei Qing almost cried. Miss Li, your ability to overthink is truly powerful. The subtle verbal sparring with Leng Yuewu earlier had nothing to do with you, Miss Li, yet you insist on dragging yourself into it.

What do you mean by coming to visit me? I don’t expect you to visit at all. Joking aside, I really don’t want to be remembered by your father who dotes on his daughter.

Just as Lei Qing was about to speak, Xiahou Huan quickly pulled him back, stopping him from saying anything more. Joking aside, this nephew’s mouth today was like it had gunpowder in it, attracting hostility everywhere. He had just offended Fairy Leng; if he continued, he might ruin things for Miss Li too.

The Li Family was known as the richest family on the Pan-Continent. It was rare that a young lady like her seemed interested in him, so why did he have to muddy the waters? If he could really win her over, not only would this nephew achieve great success overnight, but the Iron Cavalry Regiment would also benefit greatly.

If Li Qianlong had shown even half an attitude of favoring Lei Qing as a son-in-law, Xiahou Huan would probably have tied Lei Qing up tightly, beaten gongs and drums, and stuffed the boy into Li Baobao’s boudoir, effectively selling him off.

However, if Xiahou Huan knew that his nephew actually had an affair with Leng Yuewu, his heart would surely burst, and he would faint. Upon waking up, his first reaction would likely be to knock the boy out and send him to Leng Yuewu to be at her mercy.

Qin Wei’s face had never been so ugly. He had originally thought that seeing Leng Yuewu up close after such a long time would be a great blessing. Today, he had dressed up carefully, hoping to say a few more words with his goddess. If he could get a smile from her, he would have no regrets in this life.

He never expected that this guy Lei Qing would mess everything up with his stubbornness. He almost wished he had been killed. But thinking of this kid being the nephew of his brother-in-law, he had no choice but to suppress his raging anger and said, “Xiahou Huan, discipline your good nephew. If there is a next time where he blasphemes Fairy Leng like this, I will personally tie him up and send him to Moon Cold Palace to apologize.” Saying this, he left in anger.

Tie me up? Apologize? What high and mighty pose are you putting on? What business is it of yours between you and Leng Yuewu? Blasphemy? If that’s blasphemy, then what was it when your goddess helped me play the flute last night?

Lei Qing wanted to impulsively mock him, of course, he wouldn’t use Leng Yuewu as an excuse. After all, whatever happened between the two of them was their private matter. Moreover, no matter how annoyed he was with Leng Yuewu, he had promised not to expose their relationship.

However, if Lei Qing wanted to satirize someone, he had plenty of ways to do it. Xiahou Huan quickly pulled him back again: “Nephew, you are not acting right today. Let’s go home and rest well. From now on, you are not allowed to say a single word today.” He thought to himself that his brother-in-law and this nephew definitely did not get along well.

“Miss Li, then please rest well. We will withdraw first.” Xiahou Huan was quite polite to Li Baobao and said with a smile, “When you see President Li, please say hello for me. Also, the door of the Iron Cavalry Regiment is always open to you. You can come and play whenever you want, and for as long as you want. Also, don’t worry about Lei Qing. I will take good care of him for you. It’s late spring and early summer now. The flowers and grass are blooming beautifully. If you don’t take good care of him, he might get distracted.”

Such an obvious hint, Li Baobao naturally understood. She was secretly pleased. But on the surface, she pretended to be a gentle and virtuous woman: “He drank too much last night, so please take him back to rest first. Tonight, Qianqian will accompany me. Lei Qing has a quick temper and is prone to making trouble. In the future, please take good care of him, Uncle Xiahou.” The second half of her sentence also had hidden meanings.

“Don’t worry, Miss Li. I will temper his character properly and ensure he causes fewer troubles.” Xiahou Huan smiled craftily, pulled Lei Qing, and returned to the Iron Cavalry Regiment.

Lei Qing felt so depressed, being silenced by Xiahou Huan. Because he respected him, he still listened to his words.

On the way back, Xiahou Huan kept nagging: “Dear nephew, you… your temper is too straightforward, and you wasted such a good appearance. It’s rare that Miss Li has affection for you, and you don’t know how to seize the opportunity. If you marry her, you would truly achieve great success. No, I need to teach you later how to coquet with girls.”

Lei Qing rolled his eyes and stayed silent. He thought to himself, your nephew started doing this kind of thing at twelve years old. Who are you, Uncle Xiahou, uh, a man who is so afraid of his wife that he even fears his brother-in-law, to teach me how to coax girls? Forget it.

“Seems you also have some entanglements with Yu Shanshan?” Xiahou Huan started pondering again, smiling wickedly: “Why not try harder later and win over both girls, like E Huang and Nü Ying. In this way, you will have the support of Moon Cold Palace and Yu Tianji, as well as the Li Chamber of Commerce and Eternal Life Palace. Dominating the world will be just around the corner.”

Lei Qing almost fell off his horse. He thought to himself, Uncle Xiahou, you are too imaginative! E Huang and Nü Ying, uh… not to mention that Yu Shanshan and Li Baobao are not to be trifled with, even if they both agreed, Leng Yuewu would definitely chop him up later. Her reason would be quite legitimate: getting revenge for her disciple.

However, since he was silenced, he couldn’t speak in front of Xiahou Huan, so he could only curse inwardly. He listened to Xiahou Huan’s murmurs all the way and returned home. He meditated silently until nightfall.

After washing up, he blew out the lamp and went to bed to sleep.

Who would have expected that he would sleep until midnight and be directly woken up by a blast of Ice Fighting Qi. He suddenly sat up and saw Leng Yuewu, still dressed in plain white clothes, wearing a veil, staring at him with a killing intent in her eyes.

“No way? You’re here again?” Lei Qing was startled, shivering from the icy aura emanating from her. He pulled the thin blanket to wrap around his naked body and shrank into the corner of the bed. That look was very much like a pitiful young housewife encountering a burglar rapist.

Leng Yuewu didn’t speak, just stared at him coldly. But seeing her slender body trembling slightly, it was clear that her heart was not at peace.

Lei Qing looked at the sky and realized it was past midnight. He said somewhat angrily, “In the middle of the night, don’t you let people sleep?”

“I’m asking you, what did you mean earlier today?” Leng Yuewu held her sword and walked towards him step by step. Her sharp eyes were like two sword glares, ready to pierce through Lei Qing’s heart.

“Hey, hey, don’t come closer. If you come closer, I’m going to scream?” Lei Qing curled up: “I didn’t mean anything else, I just get angry when I see you.”

“I also get angry when I see you.” Leng Yuewu used the Dragon-Grabbing Hand technique to snatch the thin blanket away in mid-air, exposing his muscular and naked body. She directly pounced on him fiercely.

“No way? Coming again tonight?” Lei Qing cried out miserably: “Senior Leng, I was wrong. I only just… last night… Fairy, Fairy, spare my life~ Aaaah~”
