Chapter 189 : The Hallmaster Wants to Get Married Off 5 (1/2)
[Host, why must you act so obnoxiously?] System couldn’t help but speak out. ‘CAN’T SHE JUST QUIETLY COMPLETE A MISSION FOR ONCE?’
“Hey, life shouldn’t be too peaceful.”
[……] ‘…IT’S BECAUSE YOU CAN’T SHOW OFF THAT WAY, RIGHT?’
System decided it would be better off not commenting but instead become more aloof, else it’d be angered to death by its Host one of these days.
……
Thud!
Jun Hanlin crashed into the crowd, landing right in front of Qin Langyue. With so many people around, he couldn’t afford to lift his head to look back at the roof, so he could only whimper incoherently about the pain.
“Seventh Brother, how come you-” The Third Prince pointed at the sky and couldn’t help but laugh, “How come you fell from the sky? Is this the fabled ‘perfect match bestowed by Heaven’? Hey, now that I think about it, Seventh Brother and Eldest Miss Qin are simply perfect for each other!”
The crowd let out an uproarious laugh upon hearing his words, followed by countless nasty gazes on the two. No one bothered to inquire why Jun Hanlin would fall from the sky in the first place.
“An idiot and a fool, the perfect match! Wouldn’t you say so, fellows?”
Qin Langyue gazed sharply at them as killing intent surfaced in her eyes. Suddenly, she felt something tug on the edge of her clothes as someone hugged her legs.
“Hurts… Wuwu, it hurts… please don’t hit me…” Jun Hanlin grabbed onto Qin Langyue for dear life.
“Looks like Seventh Brother agrees, hahaha! No problem! I’ll help you out; I’ll enter the palace to request that Father dissolve my engagement to Eldest Miss Qin!”
Third Prince had just been worrying over not having an appropriate excuse to break the engagement. Since the engagement was by edict of the late Emperor, he didn’t dare to just ask his Father to break it.
But what if… Qin Langyue and the Seventh Prince happened to be ‘together’?
Qin Langyue knew things were taking a turn for the worse the moment she heard Third Prince’s declaration. She was eager to break the betrothal, but on her own terms.
However, Third Prince left Qin Langyue no chance to raise objections as he left eagerly with his entourage.
After the background mob characters had finished jeering at her, they dispersed, leaving behind Jun Hanlin who was still clutching tightly to her legs.
Shi Sheng clicked her tongue. She couldn’t help but sigh at Plot-sama’s power. ‘Just one opportunity was all it took for the ML and FL to be bound on the same ship…’
Shi Sheng didn’t know what method Third Prince had employed, but he really did end his engagement to Qin Langyue and had even managed to transfer it to Jun Hanlin.
As someone who had tolerated insult and injury for so many years, he would naturally not begin showing signs of rebellion now. Once others told him Qin Langyue was his fiancée, he began sticking to her like glue.
Originally, Qin Langyue and Jun Hanlin would’ve met under more favorable circumstances, one which have allowed Qin Langyue to discover that Jun Hanlin was no fool at all.
‘Will she still fall for him whilst unaware that he’s perfectly normal?’
……
“Nooo! Go away! You beasts! You’ll die horribly–ah! Go away, let go of me! Let go…”
The sounds of a woman’s struggles in the otherwise silent woods reached Shi Sheng’s ears. She turned her head to peer through the canopy towards the source.
Under a tree not far from her, several youths held down a girl, laughing as they tore off her clothes.
The girl appeared familiar. Shi Sheng pondered for a while before recalling that this was the girl Qin Langyue had protected the other day.
She seemed to be called Qin Kui, a branch member of the Qin Clan. Qin Langyue brought her along because she’d always been nice to her.
‘Oh, seems like this is the part where Qin Kui was tormented and raped to death by a bunch of silk-pants[1].’
Qin Langyue would end up teaching them a lesson later on, of course.
