Chapter 136: Chapter 101 Sky Shadow Organization_2

Yeying’s gaze was remote, "Sometimes feelings can affect your judgment, but they are also the most honest. You genuinely like your wife Hong’er, but besides her, you also want to marry Ye Zhuchan as your wife, right?"

The usually composed Jiang Shouzhong turned a rare bright red, quickly waving his hands, "I’m not that greedy."

"Is that so?"

"Uh... just a tiny bit of thought."

Confronted with the woman’s teasing and mocking gaze, Jiang Shouzhong simply admitted, "I had confessed to Ye before, but she... she didn’t want to be a wife, perhaps because she thinks her disfigurement makes her unworthy of me. But I really don’t mind..."

Jiang Shouzhong sighed, self-deprecatingly said, "But now it’s too late to talk about it, perhaps at that time I should have been more assertive."

Yeying retracted her gaze, looking into the pitch-dark night, "With her medical skills, disfigurement is not a difficult issue to resolve. Perhaps there is a possibility that she is heart-sick."

Heart-sick?

Jiang Shouzhong furrowed his brow deeply.

The time he spent with Ye, she was indeed quite melancholic, as if she harbored many cares.

Unfortunately, Ye never wanted to speak about it with him.

Jiang Shouzhong asked, "How did you know I wanted to marry Ye?"

Yeying said irritably, "During the days I was with you, you even called out Ye and Hong’er in your dreams. My ears have grown calluses, even a fool could see it. Plus, you often drowned your sorrows in alcohol and got utterly drunk. Sometimes you even mistook me for your Ye, once you even..."

At this point, Yeying suddenly stopped talking, turning her body away.

Although a black robe covered her body, the faint blush that bloomed on her concealed neck was akin to a light dab of rouge.

Jiang Shouzhong’s face also changed for a moment, giving a sheepish smile.

He remembered that time.

In a haze, his hand had slipped inside her clothes... although he felt an exaggerated peck, he also ended up getting thrashed by her, lying in bed for several days before the wounds healed.

However, what he complained about was, aren’t you supposed to be a master? Couldn’t you have sensed it earlier?

Sensing the awkwardness in the air, Jiang Shouzhong coughed dryly, turning the topic to business, "Recently, people from Xichu Pavilion have been eyeing me. They want to find a bottle of ’Netherworld’ Demon Energy, which is different from ordinary Demon Energy. Moreover, they have their people in Liushan Division, and they could even assign me to investigate the Demon Energy."

"Netherworld Demon Qi?"

Yeying’s gaze suddenly intensified, and she turned to face him, "Is it on you?"

Jiang Shouzhong shook his head, recounting the story in detail, "Either that bottle of Demon Energy is still hidden in my colleague’s house, or it was drunk by a Snake Demon."

Yeying looked down, lost in thought for a while, then said, "They want the Netherworld Demon Energy probably because they want to revive someone. As long as the Demon Energy isn’t found on you, they won’t be able to prove anything and will naturally give up. If worst comes to worst, you can stay at Ran’s residence for a while, where it’s relatively safe."

"Hide? If they really push me, it might just end in mutual destruction," Jiang Shouzhong said grinningly.

"Foolish boy, learn to cherish your life."

Yeying seemed a bit angry as she stretched out her hand and pinched his cheek.

Feeling the warmth seeping through her icy gentle fingertips, Jiang Shouzhong nodded with a smile, "That’s why I have Mengniang stay by my side, fearing that if I die, no one will talk to Yeying anymore."

Realizing her actions were overly affectionate, Yeying withdrew her hand, coldly saying, "I couldn’t care less about your life or death. I just hope you remember Ye’s kindness. If you die, her spirit in heaven will also be very sad."

Jiang Shouzhong hummed in acknowledgment, silently lowering his head.

"By the way, I couldn’t complete the task you assigned," Jiang Shouzhong suddenly remembered something, apologetically saying, "You told me to try my best to join the new court of Liushan Division and follow Qingchen to Qingzhou for investigation, but when the opportunity came, I... I declined. Sorry, did I disrupt your plans?"

Yeying gently shook her head, "It’s okay, something came up in Qingzhou. The court won’t send Qingchen there for now. Whether you could join the new court doesn’t matter as much at the moment."

"Oh, that’s fine then," Jiang Shouzhong breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as Yeying was about to speak, the bracelet on her wrist trembled lightly. She looked down and said, "I have to go; I just came to see how you were today. Be careful on your own from now on, but since you’ve cultivated already, I’m not worried about you."

"By the way, that Snake Demon named Mengniang is gullible, although she’s lived for a long time, she’s less cunning than some young girls, otherwise, she wouldn’t be so easily deceived. If you like, try flattering her more, perhaps you can charm her,"

Jiang Shouzhong broke into a sweat, "Why does everyone think I like playing with snakes? I’m not some rustic hero."

"Really not interested?"

"Absolutely not!"

Watching the man’s facial expression, confirming he wasn’t lying, Yeying’s figure flashed, and she disappeared on the spot.

"Why do I feel like she’s testing me again?" Jiang Shouzhong muttered softly, suddenly slapping his head, "Oh no, I forgot to tell Yeying about the Water Moon Dream Mirror. Well, I’ll mention it next time."

Watching the direction the woman disappeared into, Jiang Shouzhong couldn’t help but dwell on the past.

When this woman first met him, she was indeed very cold and disdainful, leaving him to his fate after saving him.

At that time he learned the village had been massacred, and in his frenzy, he searched for Ye’s body, digging through one site after another until he collapsed in a pile of bodies after finding her hairpin.

And yet, the woman who had originally left came back, carrying him away from Anhe Village to a small town not far from Qingzhou.
