Volume 7 Chapter 11 (2/2)

Zhao Zhi looked towards him and said icily, “Now that everything is made clear, us sisters and you have nothing to do with each other. Mister Dong, please go home and enjoy your sleep! Even if we die, it’s none of your business.”

Her tone of voice was the same as her sister’s. A feeling of pity welled up in Xiang Shaolong’s heart as he asked gently, “Don’t you want to see Shan Lan again?”

Both women trembled suddenly, staring at him incredulously.

Shan Rou exclaimed sharply, “What did you say?”

Xiang Shaolong stood up and went towards this pair of pretty sisters and knelt down on one knee, leaning his head forward to look at the 2 pretty faces and said earnestly, “Please trust me! Shan Lan is now at a very safe place, and has found a good man, waiting for you to meet her.”

The icy look on Zhao Zhi’s pretty face melted as she uttered, “You’re not lying to us again! How could sh have escaped the calamity?”

Xiang Shaolong used Dong Kuang’s name and made a vicious vow.

The 2 girls exchanged look then hugged each other tightly, looking both dejected and overjoyed at the same time.

After the 2 women had settled down a little, Xiang Shaolong said, “I am not one who is bothered about wealth and riches. As for Tian Dan’s matter, because I personally have no enmity with him, it’s difficult for me to plan to kill him, not to mention that it’s a very unwise thing to do. With the situation now, you can kill him but will not be able to escape, and with the chance of success being so slim, why don’t you live well for now and think of another way to deal with him?”

Shan Rou turned her pretty face away to look outside the window. Although she looked as if she’s not listening, but with her character, as long as she’s not saying anything bad, it means that she is already tempted.

Zhao Zhi pleaded with him, “Where is Sister Lan now? How did you meet her. She… she married into your family?”

Xiang Shaolong smiled and said, “Does Miss Zhi want me to lie to you again?”

Zhao Zhi stared at him angrily and pouted, “How I wish I could stab you too!”

Xiang Shaolong grinned, “Why don’t you just punch me!”

Shan Rou turned back again and said with her emotions controlled, “What would make you help us assassinate Tian Dan?” Xiang Shaolong felt his head aching, what he said earlier seemed to be spoken on vain as he slapped his forehead and uttered, “Heavens! So you were not listening to me at all.”

Zhao Zhi asked thru gritted teeth, “If both of us sisters offer ourselves to you at the same time, will you change your mind?”

Shao Rou’s delicate body trembled but she did not say anything, only chewing her lip as she lowered her pretty face, for the first time revealing a look of shyness.

Xiang Shaolong did not expect her to give such an outrageous suggestion and stared speechlessly at Zhao Zhi, who was looking at him unwaveringly. His eyes can’t help but travel past the 2 ladies’ delicate bodies, only to feel his throat go dry. He coughed and said, “Miss Zhi must be joking. It’s not that I do not wish to help, but I have my own reasons which cannot be revealed and I cannot be distracted by other matters.”

Zhao Zhi said gently, “Why not this! If there is really no opportunity, my sister and I will definitely not force you to do on a death mission with us but if there is a chance that we can succeed alive, will you help us fulfill this dream of 7 years? Since we’ve already become your woman, naturally we will not be totally unrelated to you.”

Xiang Shaolong looked at Shan Rou, then looked at Zhao Zhi and was secretly lamenting, worried that if he uses strong words to reject them, he’ll certainly hurt their pride. He sighed and said, “Hai! I am really moved by your sincerity and willingness to sacrifice but I cannot take advantage of others when they are in peril and obtain your precious bodies at this time. Why not this! Look at the situation first before making another plan! Oh, why have I not seen that Uncle Zheng of yours?”

Shan Rou saw that he has changed his mind so her expression warmed greatly. This Dong Kuang’s status is special, smart and an excellent fighter with a lot of men under him. If he helps, there’s no need to worry that things will not succeed.

Zhao Zhi replied, “His health is not so good, so other than fishing for news, we have no wish for him to worry himself over other matters.”

Xiang Shaolong stretched lazily and yawned, “It’s late! I should be going back to sleep too.” The 2 ladies stood up together with him.

Suddenly the 3 of them felt awkward over the ambiguous relationship between each of them.

Xiang Shaolong secretly thought that he’d better escape as soon as possible and exclaimed, “No need to see me off!” and walked towards the door.

The 2 ladies exchanged looks and Zhao Zhi accompanied him to the main door and said, “Will you use my horse?”

Xiang Shaolong remembered her round and firm thighs, her supple breasts and almost wanted to embrace her and have some intimacy with her which he is sure she would not object. However he is not inclined to consider love matters again, and also because of Jing Jun, he forced down this strong urge and said, “No need, it’s not too far away.”

He walked towards the bamboo forest but Zhao Zhi still followed behind him so he said in puzzlement, “Miss Zhi please go back! No need to send me off.”

Zhao Zhi did not say a single word until they went into the darkness of the bamboo forest before she said quietly, “You don’t have to go back.”

Xiang Shaolong’s heart ‘danced’ with joy. By saying that, Zhao Zhi is expressing her wish to offer her precious chastity to him and for a proud person like her, these are difficult words to express.

But he does not have the luck to enjoy this no matter how much he wants to.

He sighed and hardened his heart to reply, “There’s no need for Miss to do this. If you truly like me, there’s nothing more I can ask for but since Miss’s heart is already with another person and it’s not as if you’ve truly fallen for a boorish man like me, then why must you cheapen yourself like this? I’m helping both of you not because I’m expecting rewards!”

Zhao Zhi pounded his back twice hard with her fists and pouted angrily, “I hate you to death!” before turning back and walking away.

Xiang Shaolong shook his head and smiled wryly. He was stoned for a moment before collecting his thoughts and made his way home.

Once he thought of the Sword Meet tomorrow, he became excited again.

The road in front is still foggy but he is confident that he will solve everything.

Although the knows the fate of some of the people in this era, however he has no idea what his own future would be.

No matter what, in this great era of the ancient warring states, life is truly more exciting than what he could have experienced in the 21st century.
