Chapter 245: Chapter 148 Yelü Miaomiao’s Anger_2

"I originally thought you would endure until we arrived at Yucheng, before you would speak up."

Jiang Shouzhong seemed to have anticipated that the other party would mention this. After changing his clothes, he came out from behind the screen, met the girl’s gaze with his own, and replied concisely and unequivocally with just two words, "No way." It was as if any more words would have been superfluous.

Jiang Shouzhong said, "I will take you to the Longwu Escort Agency, and after that, I won’t interfere with whatever you want to do."

Zhang Que’er didn’t get angry either; she picked up her long sword, hopped off the chair, and with a delicate face bearing a faint smile, said, "I knew you would say that, but I couldn’t resist asking. Fine then, I will go to sleep first. I thought our opponent was playing a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and I waited in vain for half the night."

Zhang Que’er walked out the door, then peeped her little head back in, "Master Jiang, won’t you reconsider?"

Seeing the man ignore her, the girl pouted her little mouth and slammed the door as she left.

Jiang Shouzhong was preparing to go to bed when the little head peeked in again, "Think it over one more time, will you?"

"Scram!"

"Bam!"

The door was slammed shut again.

Lying on the bed, Jiang Shouzhong watched as the door opened yet again. This time, before the girl could speak, a shoe sole firmly hit the girl on the head, causing her to stumble and sit on the floor outside the door.

"Jiang Mo, you jerk!"

Zhang Que’er touched her forehead, fuming, and grabbed the man’s shoe, hurling it down to the lobby on the first floor.

In the lobby, two drunkards were still drinking, and suddenly a shoe appeared on their table. Before they could start cursing, Zhang Que’er leaned on the railing, smiling beautifully, "A gift from this lady to you."

Gazing at the Fairy under the dim light, the two drunkards were enchanted, thinking it was worn by a pretty girl, and without considering why it was too large, they began fighting over it.

Hearing the commotion, Jiang Shouzhong cursed under his breath and hurriedly went down to grab the shoe back, and seeing it was torn, he had no choice but to discard it.

On his way back to the room, the girl stuck her head out from the next room, stuck out her little tongue, and made a face. Then she put up her thumb, turned it around, and pointed downward.

"Crazy."

Jiang Shouzhong grumbled annoyedly and entered the room.

...

The next morning, the sky was enveloped in a light haze, and the air was filled with the moist scent of an impending rain, as if forecasting a forthcoming drizzle.

On the streets, the cavalry continued their patrols.

The atmosphere remained tense.

After breakfast, Er Liang and Zhang Que’er returned to their room to practice swordplay with their swords.

Initially, Jiang Shouzhong was somewhat worried, but after watching for a while and finding that Zhang Que’er was very restrained, he put aside his concerns. With nothing better to do, he decided to visit Yelü Miaomiao’s room.

"When will your Dharmakaya powers recover?"

Perhaps due to the discomfort the disguise mask brought, Yelü Miaomiao was unwilling to wear it in the room. At that moment, she revealed her true appearance, displaying her jade-like delicate, beautiful face without any concealment.

Upon hearing Jiang Shouzhong’s question, Yelü Miaomiao, who was lying bored on the table counting a bowl of melon seeds, replied coldly, "Why should I tell you?"

Jiang Shouzhong asked, "Do you need to pee?"

The girl was momentarily stunned and then her delicate cheeks flushed with a tinge of embarrassed anger.

She glared fiercely at the man in front of her, her eyes flickering with angry sparks, "Jiang Mo, if you dare... to make me do those embarrassing things again, even if I can’t kill you, I would rather choose suicide!"

Seeing the girl’s successful outburst, Jiang Shouzhong stopped teasing her and said with a smile, "If you really want to kill me, then lead a million-strong Yanrong army to annihilate Dazhou. At that time, if I become your prisoner, you can do whatever you like with me. Of course, that’s provided you won’t listen to me again."

Yelü Miaomiao turned her head away, presenting the back of her head to the man, acting as if she didn’t want to talk to him at all.

"Speaking of which, Yanrong fell for the Emperor of Dazhou’s scheme this time and suffered quite a bit. The Emperor of Dazhou might send an assassin to kill your Empress Dowager. With no experts left, how will you cope?"

Jiang Shouzhong asked curiously.

Yelü Miaomiao scoffed, "You’re underestimating Yanrong too much. Even if Mr. Shenye is dead, the royal palace isn’t a place just anyone can break into. In the twelve floors of the Martial Pavilion, there are many experts whose names you haven’t even heard of."

"So your Uncle Yelü and his men are dead, and that doesn’t hurt Yanrong at all?"

"Of course it does hurt."

Yelü Miaomiao pursed her moist, red lips, then abruptly closed her mouth, turning the back of her head to the man again, "I’m not going to talk about it anymore. You wouldn’t understand even if I did. Besides, I suspect you’re trying to pry information out of me so you can secretly report to the Emperor of Dazhou. Humph, I won’t be fooled!"

Jiang Shouzhong grabbed some melon seeds from the plate, cracked them open, and said, "I’m actually quite curious about your Dharma likeness power. Don’t you cultivate it? How does one get the Dharma likeness? Can you become a master just by having it take over?"

Seeing the girl stay silent, Jiang Shouzhong said, "If you don’t talk, jump in place a hundred times."

Yelü Miaomiao glared angrily at the man.

This time, Jiang Shouzhong was unmoved, "You don’t have to tell me everything, just share some trivial things."

After her face flushed red and pale, Yelü Miaomiao reluctantly said:

"Of course, I’m cultivating. However, due to my physical constitution, I can only reach the level of a Junior Xuan Grandmaster at most. As for the Dharma likeness, it’s all about opportunity.

It’s a very mystical divine power. As long as you obtain the recognition of the other party, you can briefly harness this divine power. Unfortunately, the power of Dharma likeness consumes too rapidly, and once depleted, it takes a long time to use again."

Indeed, the girl had chosen only trivial things to share.

Seeing the man furrowing his brow, she quietly curled her lips in a smug grin but quickly suppressed her smile for fear of being noticed and punished.

Sitting upright and stern-faced, Yelü Miaomiao said, "That’s all I know."

Jiang Shouzhong didn’t ask any further and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that the man wasn’t bombarding her with questions anymore, Yelü Miaomiao happily enjoyed her tea and cracked melon seeds.

After a while, a faint blush crept onto the girl’s face. Her delicate legs rubbed together involuntarily, and noticing that the man had no intention of leaving, she bit her silver teeth, put on her disguise mask, and mumbled, "I need to step out for a moment."

Jiang Shouzhong came back to his senses, frowned, and said displeasedly, "Don’t wander off now, sit down!"

Because of the killing of the princess, Jiang Shouzhong wasn’t sure if the government troops would come searching, and it was not a good time to be wandering outside.

Hearing the man’s command, Yelü Miaomiao obediently sat down.

This made the girl quite anxious.

Perhaps the embarrassment in front of the man last time left a psychological shadow on her. This time, even though no command had been given, she felt like she was about to lose control.

The girl’s cheeks burned fiercely.

She cursed the man a hundred times in her heart, but could only say with flushed face to Jiang Shouzhong, "I’m not going out to wander. I just... just need to use the restroom."

The restroom?

It finally dawned on Jiang Shouzhong that the girl had an urgent need, and he laughed, "You could have just gone, no need to ask for my permission."

Freed, Yelü Miaomiao scurried out the door, crossing her legs in haste.

In her mind, she slandered him, thinking, "If you were to stay in someone else’s room and not leave, and I just walked out, you’d surely throw another unwarranted order at me."

After Yelü Miaomiao left, Jiang Shouzhong also prepared to return to his room. As he stepped out the door, he heard an argument coming from a nearby house where Long Yuanyuan lived.

A young man dressed in blue with a flushed face, glared angrily at someone inside, "Miss, this guy is just tricking you! Why can’t you see it?"

Long Yuanyuan’s face darkened with anger, and she scolded, "Don’t you dare slander Brother Wen! Fu Huren, I warn you, if you dare to reveal even a word about his whereabouts to my father or anyone else, I’ll kill you!"

With that, she slammed the door of the house shut.

The man stood pleading desperately in front of the door for a while, but seeing that the person inside completely ignored him, he finally left in a daze. He bought a catty of wine and sat in a corner, drinking alone.

At that moment, the man looked up and his gaze met Jiang Shouzhong’s.

Jiang Shouzhong nodded slightly.

Recognizing the look in his eyes, he was just like Jia—a lovesick fool.
