Chapter 19 (1/2)

Chapter 19 – She was itching to…

Her hair was in disarray, her forehead was bruised and her face sported two bright red handprints. The Second Madam stared in shock and disbelief, “You-You, what kind of sorcery is this?!”

Ning Xuemo slowly took out a handkerchief and wiped her hand. After she wiped her hand, she threw it at the other’s face , smiling happily while replying with one word, “Guess.”

Second Aunt was silent. Her face was inflamed and two of her teeth had been knocked out. Her mouth was full of bloody foam. Upon hearing Ning Xuemo’s words, her complexion turned livid as she hatefully glared at Ning Xuemo.

Ning Xuemo sat cross-legged on the gold ingot chest, crooking her finger, “Do you still want to teach me a lesson?”

Her hands really itched!

Although her small body was weak, her limbs were still considered flexible, that added to her excellent close combat skills, and what she excelled in was “borrowing strength to counter”. Not to mention this vulgar Second Aunt, even if a lion came over she could still send it flying!

Second Madam ate such a big loss that, naturally, she was unwilling to admit defeat. She felt that when she was sent flying previously was due to luck as she had felt something trip her up.

It must have been that she tripped herself. It couldn’t have been this damned girl who suppressed her.

She once again pounced over like an evil wolf.

After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the Second Madam had experience all manner of falls and suffered countless bruises. Finally the flames of her anger had extinguish and she was now sprawled out on the ground, bursting into tears, “Aiyo, you want to beat me to death! My own niece wants to beat her aunt to death!”

Her shrill voice sounded like the howling of a wolf, clearly portraying her shrewish character. That shrill voice echoed out of the hall.

This time Ning Xuemo had a real smile on her face.

This shrew made her think of that character created by the Chinese writer, Lu Xun[1], a great beauty who could hide the moon and shame flowers, was acerbic and, if she couldn’t have any small gains, she would look like she suffered losses[2]. Although her Second Madam was thin as bamboo, she possessed a lung capacity and a high-pitched tone that would surprise people!
