Chapter 5: Beauty is a Dangerous Thing (2/2)
This hurt way too much!
Tang Doudou was in pain to the point she couldn’t even breathe. This man is so good looking, how could he not understand the concept of pitying the fragrance and cherishing the jade* at all!? Bad grade! Very very bad grade!
怜香惜玉 – “pitying the fragrance and cherishing the jade” is to have protective tender feelings towards the fairer sex
Her poor little butt, it was about to break into eight pieces!
Tang Doudou was observing a moment of silence for her poor butt when her entire body was attacked by a cold intent. She shivered, does this cold-faced guy even bring his own personal air conditioner?
How could his entire body emit such a chill otherwise? No wait, this is clearly the so-called murderous intent!
Tang Doudou instantly returned to her senses. The hell, she really was ‘care about lust without regard for life’. The other party was someone that wanted to kill her, yet she actually went and stroked him like she was possessed!
It was practically an act equal to hanging the old god of longevity and complaining that your life is too long!
Should we say something and warm up the atmosphere a little? Tang Doudou looked at Mu Ye’s cold and harsh expression, then swallowed and spoke, “Um, could we discuss a matter?”
Mu Ye lifted his eyebrow but didn’t speak.
Tang Doudou just bit the bullet and went on. “If you don’t say anything, I’ll just take that as you agreed!”
He’d like to see what kind of trick this Li Xueyi would end up pulling out.
Mu Ye was irritated by Tang Doudou to the point where his teeth itched, but he wasn’t in a rush to take her little life. He just wanted to use all sorts of means to torment her in order to alleviate the hatred in his heart.
“Before we discuss the matter, I must reiterate this once again: I’m not the Li Xueyi you’re looking for. I was just passing through to buy soy sauce… if you don’t believe me, then you can have someone investigate, or get Li Xueyi’s portrait and compare to see if I’m actually…” Tang Doudou hadn’t even finished speaking when Mu Ye unfolded a picture scroll. The scroll exhibited a few brief strokes which outlined the facial features of a person. Even though it wasn’t realistic enough, with one look you can tell the person in that picture was precisely her, Tang Doudou.
“Li Xueyi, you really don’t know ben zuo?” Mu Ye suddenly asked.
Now to introduce the term ‘ben’ and whatever follows after it. If you see ‘ben’ and something else, it’s basically saying “I” or “me” in an arrogant way. I will only introduce each combination once, and then if you forget, check the glossary. ‘ben’ basically refers to oneself, like in this lady, or this uncle and usually has an arrogant connotation. “ben zuo” is pretty much “this senior” and is usually used in fantasy novels or legends by people that are super strong.

Trivia, if you can’t tell, passing through to buy soy sauce is basically what is commonly said when you unfortunately get dragged into something that really should have nothing to do with you.
