Chapter 202 : The Hallmaster Wants to Get Married Off 18 (1/2)

Bu Jingyun had already disappeared by the time Shi Sheng had left. Only after she’d looked for him for a while did she find him next to a pond.

But…

‘What the hell is Qin Langyue doing here? Fuck! How’d these two bitches hook up?’

“Sir, many thanks for just now.” Qin Langyue was completely soaked through from head to toe. A breeze coincidentally blew past, causing her body to tremble slightly. Her voice began quivering as she spoke, “May I have the honor of knowing your name so that I may repay you in the future?”

A hint of impatience flashed by Bu Jingyun’s eyes and just as he attempted to leave, Qin Langyue unexpectedly staggered and began falling towards Bu Jingyun.

‘Hey! What the fuck?!’ Shi Sheng, who had been casually spectating, finally erupted. ‘FL-sama, you want to ascend the heavens?! Your ML-sama’s still waiting for you to bestow your favour upon him, why are you running all the way here to bother my villain-sama for?!’

Shi Sheng dashed forward and caught the soaking wet Qin Langyue, keeping her at arms-length from Bu Jingyun. “Qin Langyue, be mindful of propriety! What’re you throwing yourself into my future husband’s arms for?”

The “Future Husband” Bu Jingyun, “…”

‘Unwilling to admit I know her! I don’t know this shameless woman! Hmph!’

A flash of killing intent flickered in Qin Langyue’s eyes as she jerked her arm from Shi Sheng’s grasp. “I just lost my balance, that was all.”

‘You think I’d fall for this kind of useless fellow? All he has is a pretty face. Only Shen Yaoguang would be dumb enough to treat him like a treasure.’

Shi Sheng didn’t miss the glint of disdain and contempt in Qin Langyue’s eyes.

She patted her chest in an exaggerated manner. “Phew, I thought you were gonna fight me for him.”

Qin Langyue stared at Bu Jingyun somewhat regretfully before nodding politely. “Many thanks for your help just now, Sir.”

Bu Jingyun simply turned his head.

Qin Langyue’s brows furrowed, the disdain in her eyes quickly becoming more profound. “Senior Yaoguang, I’ll take my leave first.”

She didn’t bother to wait for Shi Sheng’s reply before taking off.

“Why’d she thank you just now?” Shi Sheng turned to gaze at Bu Jingyun and asked out of curiosity. ‘It didn’t seem like the FL took a liking to him…?’

“Hmph!” Bu Jingyun aloofly turned his head away.

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘What’re you harrumphing at me for?’

Thanks to Shi Sheng’s unceasing efforts, she finally managed to pry it out of Bu Jingyun.

Apparently, Qin Langyue was being bullied when Bu Jingyun coincidentally showed up. Afraid of getting in trouble, the bullies escaped the scene the moment they saw him.

Shi Sheng was at a loss. ‘How the hell does that count as saving? What the hell is the FL thinking? And getting bullied? Her? You gotta be fucking with me!

Isn’t this FL supposed to be the ridiculously strong type that wins no matter what? You’re a fucking idiot if you think I could ever be so stupid as to believe, even for one second, that she wouldn’t be able to deal with a couple of small fries!’

“Where’s that piece of scrap I gave you last time?” Shi Sheng suddenly asked.

Bu Jingyun responded by staring at her in utter confusion. ‘What piece of scrap? The one you gave me at the Academy? Already discarded it ages ago. All it does is block one attack before losing its value. Simply pathetic…’

“The Medicine King’s Furnace.” Shi Sheng added.

Bu Jingyun, “…”

‘If the Medicine King’s Furnace is a piece of scrap, what position would that put all those people who’re currently smashing their heads open trying to get a hold of it? Their combined spit would be enough to drown you!’

“Brought it.” Bu Jingyun grunted.

“No wonder.” Shi Sheng rubbed her chin, her expression reflecting someone who unravelled a mystery.

‘FL was actually after the Medicine King’s Furnace. You want it eh? Well, you have to be alive first to get it!’

Shi Sheng revealed a sinister grin while harboring unscrupulous thoughts; however, Bu Jingyun caught this scene from the corner of his eye. He got the impression that the person standing beside him right now wasn’t a human but rather a demon. That enchantingly beautiful face of hers was really nothing but a scam.
