Chapter 193 : The Hallmaster Wants to Get Married Off 9 (1/2)
Shi Sheng shoved the Medicine King’s Furnace at Bu Jingyun, “For you.”
Bu Jingyun’s pupils shrunk as he laid eyes on the blackened furnace. He received it from Shi Sheng and examined it for awhile before asking, “Is this… the Medicine King’s Furnace?”
“Yep. Like it?” Shi Sheng shifted her posture as a charmingly cocky smirk graced her face.
“It’s a divine instrument.”
‘Don’t even try and tell me she doesn’t know what it is! For her to offer it to me so easily… it couldn’t be fake, could it?’
‘As if I don’t know that’s a divine instrument! Like you had to say it! Idiot!’
Shi Sheng inhaled deeply before voicing a classic prodigal line, “Take it if you like it. You can just throw it away if you don’t.”
Bu Jingyun, “…”
‘You’re discarding a divine instrument just like that?! Does your family know how wasteful you are???’
Shi Sheng slid off the bed to return to the divan. She was a bit ticked off since Bu Jingyun’s gaze was glued to her, “What’re you looking at? I’ll gouge your eyes out if you continue staring at me!”
Bu Jingyun, “…” ‘So unladylike… No wonder she had to resort to abducting men!’
He turned his back to her. ‘Who’d want to look at you?! Humph!’
The cold furnace in his hands had been warmed up slightly by his body temperature.
Bu Jingyun couldn’t recall when he’d fallen asleep, but by the time he’d woken up, the room was pitch-black. He subconsciously rolled his body to look at the divan.
It was empty.
He immediately woke up and jumped out of bed. Even when he tried, he couldn’t sense anyone in his immediate surroundings. ‘Where’d that woman disappear to?’
THUD!
The sound of a heavy object falling faintly echoed from beyond the door leading to the yard before the surroundings regained their former silence.
Bu Jingyun opened the door and left the room. The first thing he perceived was a dark shadow standing in the yard. She was wielding a sword that appeared to be covered in a dark, sticky substance.
Several bodies lay strewn around her feet, and a bloody stench assaulted his nostrils.
She slowly turned her head with a strange expression on her face. It resembled the cold heartlessness of death, and yet, simultaneously, it was filled with the excitement of murder and bloodshed.
In the next moment however, her expression softened. It was as if a clear spring had been poured into a pond of still water, generating mesmerising ripples.
“You came just in time! Come help me clean up these corpses!”
‘I was just thinking it’d be troublesome to get rid of them and the waste collector turns up! Villain-sama is a must-have for murder and theft, after all!’
Bu Jingyun, “…”
‘Do I look like I clean up bodies to you?!’
He slammed the door shut in anger. ‘I’m not cleaning up bodies! Especially not for that woman! Hmph!’
Shi Sheng, “…”
‘Such a short temper?’
She felt conflicted as she gazed at the bodies on the ground. ‘Ahhh, so troublesome! Forget it! I’ll just leave them here for now!’
And so, the moment he opened the door the next morning, Bu Jingyun was greeted by the sight of the corpses from last night right where they’d fallen . His hand on the door tightened as his expression contorted several times in succession. ‘This woman! She just left the bodies there!’
Bu Jingyun slammed the door shut. ‘Why haven’t those idiots found me yet?! Going to die of anger at this rate!’
At that time, Shi Sheng just so happened to have been returning with breakfast. Hence, she was understandably confused at witnessing Bu Jingyun slam the door shut with an unsightly expression.
‘What temper’s gotten into Mr. Nutjob this morning?’
Yet right at this moment, the door to the room was opened once more and Bu Jingyun’s eyes met Shi Sheng’s. He froze in place for a few seconds before slamming the door shut in her face again.
Shi Sheng, “…” ‘Oi, what’s wrong with you?’
