Chapter 197 (2/2)
”But you like to self-address as Your Servant. If you don't address me as Lord Husband, wouldn't that arouse the suspicion of others.” Su Xing said.
Wu Siyou nodded. Apparently, she felt that what Su Xing said was very logical. It seemed this man actually was not incorrigible. ”Then how do you plan to do this?”
”Let's arrange an address for each other, just to let others think we are a married couple.”
”What address?”
Su Xing pretended to ponder for a moment, ”I'll just address you as Dearest Wife, and you address me as Dearest Husband.”2
”Dearest Wife? Dearest Husband?” No matter what, Wu Siyou felt these names sounded very strange. ”Is your servant very old?”3
”The so-called 老 naturally refers to the white hairs of old age. Then, 婆 represents the female gender. 公 represents male. Outsiders that hear this would naturally feel this would be related to a husband and wife.” Su Xing extravagantly embellished his explanation. ”This makes others feel it pertains to married coupled and won't arouse suspicion of us. How isn't this two birds with one stone.”
Wu Siyou furrowed her brow: ”Where did you hear of this?”
”What's the matter?” Su Xing asked her.
Although Wu Siyou felt this address sounded incongruous, when Su Xing put it that way, she thought it over and concluded these were names for married couples. She would lose nothing calling out this sort of address, and she nodded. ”As you wish.”
”Dearest Wife, shall we practice first?” Su Xing awfully wanted to smile.
”What is there to practice about this?” Wu Siyou said disdainfully.
”You must treat anything you do with earnestness!” Su Xing sternly said. ”Could it be the grand Harm Star is fond of being undisciplined?”
”Dearest Husband, do not use psychological tactics on Your Servant!” Wu Siyou coldly smiled: ”Dearest Husband, of Your Servant's words, are you satisfied?”
Su Xing sighed. For this cool and elegant Wu Siyou to say the two words, ”Dearest Husband,” was incomparable ecstasy, as expected.
”Worthy of being called Your Servant's Dearest Wife, so quickly have you entered the role.” Su Xing praised.
”Dearest Husband, you are not bad either? Speaking this fabricated address so smoothly.” Wu Siyou's fingers rolled her long hair that fell before her chest, her smile enchanting and mysterious.
”Who let Dearest Wife Siyou be this cool and elegant, any man would be smooth.” Su Xing chuckled.
Wu Siyou felt the man before her had a sort of pleasure derived from getting away with something.
”Dearest Husband…”
Suddenly, when Wu Siyou said these words, her expression concentrated.
”Dearest Wife, what is the matter?” Su Xing was confused.
”Dearest Husband, go die!”
Wu Siyou bit her lip, harrumphed, turned and walked away. That long hair fluttered like a galaxy, indescribably poetic.
Why would the magnificent Harm Star Pilgrim do such senseless practice with this man…truly, her brain was broken.
Su Xing stared at her back. It was quite a pity that Wu Siyou had realized his scheme so quickly.
The Dearest Husband that Wu Siyou said honestly was very satisfying to a man's vanity.
…
More than ten li outside of Five Colors City.
A cloaked woman emitted a chilly aura from head to foot, and she was encircled by several tall and sturdy men.
”Take her down!!”
One man shouted.
The next instant, the cold woman's alluring figure was like a graceful wind. She suddenly rushed forth, completely the distance to the men. She seemed to turn her body lightning quick, stepping across a space of several zhang. She came to the side of a man, and without saying a word, she directly made a slanted chop with her hand.
From her palm chop came a power that was more bone-chilling than any weapon!
The man extended his hand to block it. That thick and solid arm had a powerful contrast to the woman's supple hand, but though it was a palm, the movement was simply too fast to see a shadow. Along with the chop, there was a sudden soft sound in the air, just like something had shattered. A distinct red line immediately emerged.
The man's face greatly changed, for there simply was not enough time to react. This man hurriedly protected himself with both hands, fully releasing his self-protection artifacts. The faint red ripple immediately surged like a tide, and a distinct partition suddenly emerged before his eyes, striking against the red abnormality the woman's chop brought without any ceremony.
”Ka-cha!!”
A crisp shattering noise once again rang, a violent reaction simply outside of the imagination.
The detached woman's thrust was seemingly ordinary but actually matchlessly valiant. The opponent's barrier was ruptured as if it was an eggshell. The man stumbled backwards, and when he came close to a large tree, his neck sprayed a fountain of blood several meters high. His pupils seemed to melt away while he wobbled around before he fell.
The others were astonished.
”What sort of person are you?'
The woman's cloak fell. Those vermilion pupils had an indescribable apathy, yet when she gazed in the direction of Five Colors City, they had a sort of indescribable softness.
Author’s Note:
Regarding Gongsun Huang, the original plan was for Su Xing to go back, and when Gongsun Huang saw Su Xing covered in injuries, her immediate use of the contract was only to help Su Xing recover from his injuries. Afterwards, I forgot about this with the Fire Horn Mountain plot. In reality, this Fire Horn Mountain plot can be considered somewhat of a mistake – how depressing. The latest chapter today was only off by a few minutes. Fine, then, on the nineteenth, there will be five new chapters!!
