Chapter 3, Trouble has arrived

There is trouble, Li Ye feels somewhat overwhelmed

Li Xingzhou had to admit that although her predecessor was a fool, her vision was exceptional. This woman had the right curves where they should be and was slender where it mattered. She had a pair of bright, large eyes, willow-like eyebrows, long eyelashes, a delicate nose, and fair skin that revealed a faint pink hue. Her thin lips were as beautiful as delicate flowers, complemented by the heroic spirit between her brows, making her a striking and graceful woman

"Alright," said Li Xingzhou as he let go, causing the woman to fall to the ground with a thud, her hair disheveled and looking quite disheveled.

The woman's attire was disheveled, yet the garment was made of silk, a fine shade of vermilion, with seams so delicate that they were nearly invisible upon closer inspection, giving it an ethereal quality. This piece must have required countless hours of labor and thought, undoubtedly a masterpiece of a skilled tailor, one that an ordinary household could not afford.

He became arrogant, and instead of fear, the woman’s eyes were filled with anger

You ... ...

The woman shot him a glare, and it was unclear whether it was out of anger or deep sorrow. She struggled to rise without uttering a word, but was unable to stand due to the lack of circulation from being bound all night. Her beautiful face was further shrouded in frost, and the surrounding air grew three degrees colder.

Rubbing his hands with a lewd expression, he said: "This young master could easily take over your body at this moment, but I choose not to, because that would be utterly unexciting. I want you to struggle and plead for help; the louder you scream, the happier I will be!"

This is merely ... . ... a common occurrence, so the people of Kyoto have every reason to despise Li Xingzhou

I will help you untie the rope

The woman became increasingly flustered, her eyes fixed on him yet filled with tears.

That tone, that expression, was a vivid embodiment of an evil villain with a green face and sharp fangs, one who devours people without leaving a bone and thinks only with his lower body! As he spoke, he stepped forward and removed the silk cloth stuffed in her mouth. The woman glared at him fiercely but said nothing and no longer struggled to resist.

Indeed, the woman's eyes were red, filled with a desire to immediately tear him to shreds, her gaze brimming with anger, and fear had vanished.

Anger is the best way to overcome fear

Upon seeing Li Xingzhou, a pair of beautiful eyes, filled with bloodshot veins, fixed their gaze on him without wavering. The look in those eyes was akin to that of a frenzied beast. He had witnessed too much; he had no doubt that if he took even half a step closer, this beauty would fight him with all her might

Unconsciously, the first words that came out were a famous saying: "Young lady, I am a good person, you need not be afraid..."

Li Xingzhou was greatly enraged, and thereafter quietly ordered his lackeys to secretly overturn the other party's medicine and bring them back bound. His lackeys were not inexperienced, having done such things more than once or twice, and they were quite adept at their tasks.

Resigning to a lesser option, Li Xingzhou could only say: "Then stop grinding the rope, as grinding it endlessly will only hurt your hands"

Moreover, based on her physique and the strength that could knock herself unconscious with a single collision, Li Xingzhou deduced that this woman was clearly not an ordinary person, but someone who had undergone training

The woman's small movements did not escape his eyes; however, it was out of concern. It would not be so simple to use the corner of the cabinet to cut the rope. In a moment of urgency, he might first wear away her delicate and tender little hand.

Indeed, the person became even more terrified, desperately leaning back.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Li Xingzhou quickly seized the opportunity: "Tsk tsk, not bad, this suits my taste. Now I will let you go, and then slowly torment you again"

Perhaps recalling the terrible scene of her previous fall, the woman's charming face flushed alternately red and white, yet she did not refuse him

After pondering for half a day about how ancient people spoke, I wondered if they would not understand unless it was in the ornate classical Chinese. Then Li Xingzhou suddenly realized that I actually do not know how to speak classical Chinese at all, so thinking about it was pointless.

Rubbing her aching shoulders, she stood up only to realize that her entire body was in pain, her bones feeling as if they were falling apart. It seems that this girl truly was not to be underestimated after that collision

"What is your name?" While helping her sit on the stool by the table, Li Xingzhou asked. The woman turned her face away, completely ignoring him, and he did not press further.

Her words were icy and unyielding, indicating that although she felt flustered inside, she was not afraid of him at all. Either she had something to rely on, or she had a strong background

Yesterday, Li Xingzhou was enjoying himself with his friends at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion in the southern part of the city when he took a fancy to a beautiful young lady, even reciting poetry to flirt with her, though the verses he recited were certainly not of a serious nature

Alright, alright. He felt helpless as well; being a good person is truly difficult, so he could only give up.

Li Xingzhou is certainly not the fool he was thought to be; he is well-informed and knowledgeable. The fact that this woman has not called for help or made a commotion until now clearly indicates that she is not an ordinary person

Surveillance and counter-surveillance, he has been engaged in this his entire life. If he had not left, he would have been able to spot any hiding places in this room at a glance

Looking around the room, he did not see the girl from last night. His gaze was sharp; the door to the room was locked, and it was clearly locked from the inside. It was evident that she had not left, as her hands were bound, making it impossible for her to pull back the bolt.

Li Ye frowned; he did not observe people like Li Xingzhou, who only looked at women's chests and backsides. Every word and action, as well as clothing and attire, often revealed important information.

"You sit here, I will find someone to help you massage and unblock your meridians." He then added, "Don't worry, I will find a woman." Saying this, he relied on his memory to find the key and opened the door.

In the evening, Li Xingzhou joyfully entered the room, preparing to indulge himself with his little brother, when unexpectedly, in the darkness, he was suddenly collided with by the bound girl, hitting his shoulder with such force that he flew back and crashed into the tables and chairs behind him, losing consciousness in an instant. It was at this moment that Li Ye arrived

Li Xingzhou quickly seized the opportunity, as he has a knack for understanding psychology

Changing the tone: "I didn't expect you to see through me. I did deceive you, but what can a little girl like you do to me, right?"

As soon as the door was opened, fresh air greeted me, and my eyes brightened. The Wangfu truly lives up to its name; this small courtyard surprisingly features a rockery and a clear pond, with a small pavilion and bamboo grove in the center. If I recall correctly, this is merely the side room of the northern courtyard. How grand must the main hall and courtyard be! Wealth is indeed a blessing

Li Xingzhou then proceeded to untie the ropes from her feet and hands one by one. As soon as the last knot was undone, the woman shouted angrily, "Pervert!" Her voice was hoarse, making it nearly impossible to discern her words. She immediately attempted to fight him, but unfortunately, after being bound for an entire night, her blood circulation was impeded. She had barely taken a step before collapsing, prompting Li Xingzhou to quickly step forward and support her.

"Let me go, you scoundrel!" The woman, having had her mouth stuffed for an entire night, spoke with a hoarse voice, yet her words were chillingly cold.

The words "I am a good person" spoken from Li Xingzhou's mouth truly lack any persuasive power

He stepped forward to help her up. Just as she was about to struggle, Li Xingzhou threatened, "If you resist again, I might just let go."

You told me to let go. He looked completely innocent

The woman was even more terrified, as if facing a formidable enemy, staring at him intently. Her mouth was stuffed with silk cloth, rendering her unable to speak. This method of stuffing would undoubtedly fill her oral cavity, and after an entire night, she must be experiencing extreme discomfort

Enduring the pain throughout my body, I took a few steps, and indeed, that girl was hiding in the gap beside the bedside cabinet.

But that young lady is strong-willed and even declared that she would hit him

He was shocked by his own subconscious, this phrase sounds so familiar...! Generally speaking, don't villains usually say something like this!
