133 Killing a chicken to scare the monkeys (1/2)
”That was an outrageous presumption! Lady Yue'er was just…..” Cheng De Cao halted in the middle of his sentence as a chill ran down his spine.
”Was just? What?” Jun Mo Xie broke into an unbridled laughter. He twitched his lips and said: ”Since she's brothel woman, what kind of an entertainment could she provide if we can't even touch her body huh? I'm being considerate towards her profession by showing interests in her, and she offends me in this manner?!”
”You're destroying the reputation of your Family!” Cheng De Cao's eyes were reeking of contempt for the young master Jun: ”Jun Mo Xie, you're really forcing me to hate and despise you.” Cheng De Cao was suddenly feeling very proud of his own self at this moment: [People have often said that I'm an insult to my family's name, but I haven't done anything even remotely as shameful as Jun Mo Xie….]
”Cheng De Cao…. F**k you! What did you just say? You despise me? You and I are cut from the same cloth, and remember that I can eliminate your entire family if you insult me again!” Jun Mo Xie furiously titled his neck and slanted his eyes: ”Cheng De Cao, go back to your mother and let her nurse you up a bit!”
Cheng De Cao's entire body started to tremble with rage, and his crimson eyes looked up at Jun Mo Xie again, while his hand landed on the hilt of his sword with a 'pop'. 'Clang' he unsheathed about three inches of his sword, and exposed its metal's cold radiance!
”Jun Mo Xie!” the sullied second prince stood up: ”You're drunk; perhaps you should go back home early today.”
”I've barely had a few mouthfuls of wine, how could I be drunk?” Jun Mo Xie snorted, as he titled his neck towards the second prince, unwilling to agree: ”And now this sissy has just unsheathed his sword in threat!”
”I'm saying you're drunk; it means you're drunk!” the second prince finally snapped, unable to tolerate it anymore.
Fang Bo Wen hastily rushed towards the prince, and gently pressed hand against the Prince's shoulder.
Jun Mo Xie raised his eyes to meet the Second Prince's gaze. The two men continued to gaze into each other's eyes for a while, before Jun Mo Xie crooked his mouth and smiled again: ”Since the second prince says that Jun Mo Xie is drunk; then I'm drunk he he he ... even if I haven't had enough wine, I'm still drunk, ha ha ha …. This is funny, really funny!”
He continued to laugh as he reached out to grab a cup of wine, and smashed into the floor beside Lady Yue'er. The cup broke, and crisp sound made everyone's face twitch in surprise.
Jun Mo Xie fiercely pointed a finger at Lady Yue'er and said: ”You little slut, today we are in presence of the Second Prince, and since the Second Prince is speaking in your favor, I'm letting you go for now. But I'll come back for you later someday!” Jun Mo Xie subconsciously rubbed his crotch to indicate his nefarious desires!
Jun Mo Xie turned around and faced Cheng De Cao. He slowly extended his hand and reached out towards Cheng De Cao's face. 'Clap' 'clap', he patted Cheng De Cao's face twice, producing a crisp sound, and said: ”So you want to kill me huh? Really? Cheng De Cao, drawing even half a sword is indicative of war; you will behave yourself in the future, understand?!”
Then, he turned around as he continued to laugh, waved his hand, almost like he was trying to wave away the atmospheric dust, twisted his hips, and quickly left.
He had made a mess out of the Second Prince's feast; he insulted the prince's company to the point where the prince had to personally threaten retaliation. Firstly, he had managed to abuse Cheng De Cao, and had in general been very vulgar and disrespectful…. By being rampantly arrogant and aggressive, Jun Mo Xie had lived up to the reputation of being the city's most notorious debauchee!
Jun Mo Xie reached downstairs and sat inside his Palanquin; surprisingly, there were two more men inside his palanquin, who were both dressed in black colored clothes. Jun Mo Xie sighed and said: ”After I leave, you will pay close attention to the movements inside the Ni Chang Pavilion. You will also keep an eye on the people the Second Prince meets after he leaves. While the other person will continue to watch the Ni Chang pavilion, and will keep track of the people who enter and exit the place; and do not slack one bit!” both men nodded.
The palanquin started to sway as the young master Jun left for his residence. Although today's events hadn't gained any concrete results, it had still been a very fruitful trip. On one hand, Jun Mo Xie had lived up to his public reputation, but secondly and more importantly, he had publicly insulted and embarrassed the woman the Second Prince had been showing interest in. So this trip had definitely been worthwhile!
Jun Mo Xie certainly knew that even though Lady Yue'er was working in a brothel, she wasn't exactly a prostitute; in fact, he could tell that she didn't think very highly of the profession, and was wondering if she was an expert in disguise?
Jun Mo Xie was convinced that Lady Yue'er would retaliate - in fact, Jun Mo Xie was hoping for it!
Now the situation was turning favorable for Jun Mo Xie. Since Jun Mo Xie had overheard Lady Yue'er and Lord Liu's conversation the other night, he already knew the identity of his enemies. But they weren't aware that Jun Mo Xie was also targeting them! Therefore, Lady Yue'er would certainly try to avenge this insult without being aware of Jun Mo Xie's ulterior motives!
But it didn't just stop here; Jun Mo Xie had accomplished another, third feat, today. He had built a wall between the Second Prince and Lady Yue'er by insulting her in front of him.
