Chapter 86 - Extra: Zhuzhi Ci 1 (Poem of the Bamboo Branch) Part 2 (1/2)
Chapter 86 –Extra: Zhuzhi Ci 1 (Poe did not see with his own eyes what the first encounter between Tianlang-Jun and Su Xiyan was like, as he was queuing for a newly released book by a well-known author during that tiinally he was not really that curious But after that, Tianlang-Jun was in this kind of state for a long ti hi-Jun would say from the top of his head,
“In all the drama scripts I’ve seen, the htful I thought all the maidens were like this too But it turned out that I’ve been deceived Oh Zhuzhi-Lang, one can’t see plays like this too otten his oords that ‘one can’t see plays like this too usto
“Do I look like I can’t lift my own hands? Like, I’ expenses to return ho his clothes, Tianlang-Jun would squat beside hi, how’smaidens see a face like mine, wouldn’t it stir up their hearts at once?”
Zhuzhi-Lang shook and wrung the clothes dry before he hung the with Tianlang-Jun, he silently thought about all thoseHe could not speak for anyone else, but the way Junshang behaved noas more like those maidens whose hearts had been stirred up
Thus, he could not help but feel curious
In Zhuzhi-Lang’s iination, a maiden who frequented a deserted city alone where de elsewhere and not to be a hindrance while she was getting rid of evil, and who even threw Tianlang-Jun three pieces of silver for his travel expenses back ho and burly with broad shoulders and a round waist, she would still at least have a good physique and a leam in her eyes
Until he -Jun to reflect on hi discovered that she was not like what he had i-Jun liked to wander around the hu around the huremembered for him However, he had no concept of money and never kne to restrain hi old on one throhenever he felt like it and Zhuzhi-Lang could not stop hi money like water in such a way made it difficult to cope with even if he carried around a old and silver every day, and eventually, there would be tily low
Just as these two foreign visitors were standing all red-faced on the street, a tall maiden in black with a sword on her back walked by
Tianlang-Jun said, “Halt”
As she passed by, thatsmile appeared on the corners of her -Jun said, “When you encounter soht to draw your sword and render a helping hand?”
The other party said, “I could consider drawing s of my money pouch1 You still have not returned me that three taels of silver I lent you the other ti-Jun said, “Did you? It’s only three taels of silver All right, if you lend me another three, you can buy me for three days”
She flatly refused, “You see, nor do any physical work or distinguish rice fro you?”
After watching for so long, Zhuzhi-Lang frankly said, “Zhushang, this lady…… probably finds you too expensive”
Tianlang-Jun was disdained by souards who served him would also secretly avoid hireat emotion But, never to the extent that he was shunned even with the price reduced to three taels
Tianlang-Jun said, “Let’s not talk about anything else But isn’t my face worth three taels of silver?”
The other party choked, scrutinized his face for a while, then laughed, “Mh of her hand revealed a heavy ingot of gold
Since then, Tianlang-Jun’s expenditure in the hu ht of it He had found a golden backer As long as Zhuzhi-Lang dug out an empty embroidered pouch with an embarrassed look on his face, he would knock on the door of that golden backer happily without hesitation
Zhuzhi-Lang always felt so had been reversed
Why did Su Xiyan seeious family in all those dra-Jun look like a pa mistress who had run away from home?
And, as he so much like a s mistress’s dowry to attend and run errands for her?
Zhuzhi-Lang tried to reain his dignity as the de-Jun enjoyed the relationshi+p of keeping so kept He poured all his entire passion for humanity, however blind it was, into this one person
Su Xiyan was really a ruthless person, and yet she was also intriguing
When they s and go to all kinds of interesting places: the banned books that Zhuzhi-Lang could not find, the strange Lingzhi growing in a hidden cave, the lake aters like flowing crystal dews, and the not-very-renowned courtesan who played the pipa skillfully and beautifully And when they did not meet, she would disappear for ten to fourteen days without a trace
Withouther infatuation, without voicing her yearning She had her own plans, and she did it all watching coldly froe was that of a snake, Zhuzhi-Lang had the natural instinct of an ani theerous matter
She was not cast in the sa or bewitching; she was serious, focused, and even seeentle and refined Yet, she really just “see dared not say whether he could get an advantage over her when the bloodshed really began
Underneath the surface of that gentleness was arrogance and indifference, her wild ambitions concealed her schemes As the second person in power in the Huan Hua Palace, she was in a high position and often commanded thousands of people Since ancient ti Huan Hua Palace had been the eneerous person
Zhuzhi-Lang reported all the infor-Jun was not concerned
Once he becaet all about death and life and put all his eggs in one basket It was not that he did not know about it, but that he had never doubted her
The price he paid for “never doubting” was being pinned under Bailu Mountain for over ten years in total darkness, and with no chance for justice and redemption
“I want to kill humans”
In these ten years, this was the sentence that Tianlang-Jun would repeat the -Jun used to like thebefore
Without a strong source of de’s human for-Jun saw hiround, he would throw hily,” he said
Zhuzhi-Lang would then silently wiggle outside to find a place which was not exposed to sunlight andskill
Junshang’s te had no strength to be angry or aggrieved
What Tianlang-Jun’s scram really meant, was for hi, to scram back to his old ho-Jun
Tianlang-Jun could not tolerate others seeing him in such a pathetic, miserable state, where he could neither ask for life nor seek death He had been born the most honorable prince in the demon realm He had never suffered hardshi+ps and had always been calht hurt his iht obsession with cleanliness He did not like ugly things, but in actuality, the way he was right noas far uglier than anyone else
