Chapter 1175 - Return My Rosary Pea to Me (2/2)

She opened her red lips, wanting to say something.

Bang! There was a sound of a shot being fired.

The loud bang filled the silence of the night, piercing and cold. The officer fell as his blood-streaked through the cracks on the wooden boards at the pier.

Jun Xiqing’s pupils contracted. He had gotten rid of a life so easily within a few seconds. She barely had time to register anything before the officer had collapsed.

“Ah!”

She screamed miserably. Tears rolled down her face like pearls from a broken necklace.

The eleven other officers were about to surge forward when the army from the West Palace surrounded them. A few black muzzles focused on them.

One order from Lu Yeming and they would be shot full of holes.

“Stop!” Jun Xiqing shouted.

“Master.” The eleven officers turned to look at Jun Xiqing.

Jun Xiqing slowly reached out and grabbed Lu Yeming’s pants. “Don’t touch them. Don’ t let this place be flooded with their blood. Didn’t you want the Wuling Iron Steed Troop? I’ll give them to you!”

Lu Yeming slowly put the gun back into the holster on his waist. There was a drop of blood on his hand, and Fan Men walked forward to hand him a handkerchief.

He looked down and wiped the drop of blood away calmly and elegantly. His fingers were long and beautiful. It didn’t look like a hand stained with blood at all.

It was just like the rest of him, so beautiful that no one would be able to resist him. No one would be able to tell that he was actually Satan from hell.

Jun Xiqing’s hands turned cold. She was admitting defeat.

She was no match for him.

She was still incompetent in matters of trickery and ploys.

Lu Yeming looked up slightly after cleaning his hands and stared at her beautiful face. He smiled cruelly. “Wan Wan, you shouldn’t have done this. You shouldn’t have used up all my patience.”

He had treated her so differently.

He was willing to spend time with her when she was unwilling to be his woman, to dawdle with her. He was willing to back down when she pressed forward.

But she didn’t know how to treasure these opportunities at all.

And now his patience had run out.

Hearing the name “Wan Wan”, Jun Xiqing’s lips curved upwards and she handed the commander’s seal to Lu Yeming. “Listen to my order, 12 officers. From today onwards, I’m no longer your master. Your Master is now the West Duke!”

“Master!”

The 11 officers all had tears in their eyes.

Lu Yeming took the commander’s seal from her and slowly crouched down. Opening his palm, he looked at her expectantly.

“Give it back.”

“What?”

“My rosary pea.”

With that, he slowly narrowed his eyes and said, “You took one of my rosary peas. Return it to me obediently, hm?”

Jun Xiqing raised her eyes and looked at Lu Yeming with her beautifully perfect face. She said with a laugh, “Everyone thinks that the West Duke has lived his entire life without having known what love is. But in my opinion, the West Duke is actually the most emotional person in the world.

“I can return the rosary pea to you, but I want something equal in exchange. So tell me, West Duke, who is that woman you have in your heart?”

Lu Yeming’s eye immediately turned cloudy. He reached out to grab her face and pulled it towards him.

“Keep wasting my time and I’ll take care of these officers who have followed you for so long, one by one.”

Jun Xiqing’s small face was squashed in his large hands, but she couldn’t feel the pain at all. She smiled slowly and brightly. “West Duke, you’d better hide that woman well. One day, I’ll drag her out into the open and make sure you experience the same pain I’ve experienced today!”
