Chapter 230 - Letter of Challenge (II)
Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler
Shi stared at Long and suddenly asked, âAre you sad?â
That question stunned Long. He shook his head and said, âWhy would I? You think too much.â
Shiâs eyes narrowed. âYou used to love her so much, but you have no feelings for her now?â
Long didnât know what to say.
Shi took a look at him. âIâll go for a walk.â
âQingzhou.â When Shi was about leave, Long suddenly grabbed his arm.
Shi turned round, looking very calm.
Long gave a wry smile. âYou think Iâm cruel, donât you?â
Shi did not speak.
Long said gently, âDo you still remember the special dream I told you?â
Shi nodded slowly. âYes.â Long began to change after that, so he remembered it clearly.
Long stroked Shiâs cheeks affectionately. âI feel like I was reborn after that. I donât want to justify what I did before, but I didnât really love them. This man who is standing in front of you with a new soul is the real me. I fell in love with you and just want to spend the rest of my life with you. So I can only say sorry to those women. Whatâs more, none of those women really loved me. What they wanted was just high social status, power or something else. Qingzhou, I only have one heart and Iâm willing to give it to you. Iâm not interested in others, because having you in my life is already enough for me...â
Shi fixed Long with a gaze. What he saw was deep love and great sincerity in Longâs eyes.
The corners of Shiâs mouth gradually curved up. âMhmm.â
Long leaned over and kissed Shi on the lips.
Shi didnât refuse and gently closed his eyes...
The kiss didnât last long, but the warmth and intimacy brought by Long made Shiâs ears become a little red.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Long could not help kissing Shiâs pink ears.
âQingzhou... youâre so beautiful.â
Shi looked at Long with doubt and raised his eyebrows. âAm I beautiful? Iâm afraid I canât be compared with Liu Suifeng.â
Long couldnât believe it. âQingzhou, you still canât let it go?â
Shi said coldly, âYou seldom take a fancy to someone. Of course I remember that.â
âI donât like him!â Long tried to defend himself. âQingzhou, why do you think I like him?â
âWho knows? You said heâs very beautiful,â Shi had a good reason.
Long hit himself on the mouth. âRight. I shouldnât have said that. Qingzhou, I was wrong.â
Shi rolled his eyes. âDonât forget your identity. How could you be wrong?â
âWhat is my identity?â Long didnât think so. âQingzhou, in front of you, I donât have a special identity. Iâm just your husband. Thatâs all!â
Shi narrowed his eyes...
Long looked at Shi sincerely.
Finally, Shi curled his lips and said, âLetâs go out and take a look.â
âOkay. Letâs see if Liu Suifeng is being accosted by some playboys again!â
Shi smiled. âPerhaps you can pretend to be a playboy and experience that feeling.â
âOh?â Long blinked. âWhat do you mean?â
Shi sneered. âThatâll be a good reason for you to get close to that beauty.â
âQingzhou!â Long cried and jumped him. âQingzhou, how can you think like that? Iâm really wronged, okay?â
âHaha.â
The two of them walked out of the house talking and laughing.
Once they got to the street, they heard something special!
âIs it really Lord Wangâs family?â
âYes, Iâm sure itâs his family!â
âHeâs so pathetic. That damned philanderer!â
âYes, itâs really unacceptable. The third young master is such a nice person...â
âYes, heâs so beautiful. What a shame!â
âLord Wang is also to blame. He knows that his son is good-looking and the philanderer hasnât been found. How could he allow his son to wander around the streets?â
âYes, Lord Wang was so careless!â
Long and Shi looked at each other and realized that something had happened!
The two of them went towards Lord Wangâs mansion quietly. The closer they got to that place, the more rumors they heard.
It turned out that the philanderer had sent a letter of challenge there!
A Shadow Guardian approached Long and Shi without trace.
âMaster, I was just about to report it to you.â
Long nodded. âLetâs talk privately.â
They went to the teahouse that theyâd been to earlier, but they chose a hidden place this time.
The Shadow Guardian reported what the philanderer had done to them.
The letter of challenge was directly shot at the gate of Lord Wangâs residence.
There was only one sentence written on it, that was, he would come to take away the third young master in this mansion at night.
The third young master was actually Liu Suifeng, who had been swaggering around the city these two days.
Long said at once, âSince thereâs another blatant provocation, itâs best to let Song Qingtian deal with it.â
Shi nodded. âWeâll order the Shadow Guardians to be disguised as soldiers and set a trap in Lord Wangâs mansion. We must catch that philanderer this time.â
âSong Cailian may also be attracted,â Long said gently.
âDonât waste any time. Act now.â Long and Shi looked at each other and then quickly gave orders for the Shadow Guardians to take action. As for the two of them, they were not in a hurry to leave the teahouse. They intended to stay outside for a while.
People in the teahouse began to talk.
âThe third young master in Lord Wangâs family is so pretty. That philanderer really knows when to act.â
âHey, it seems that you also take a fancy to that young master.â
âIsnât that quite normal? Donât you like him? Everyone likes beautiful people, am I right?â
âWell, itâs a pity that Iâm not as powerful as that philanderer.â
âItâs a shame for you to say that. That philanderer really should be punished. If such a beautiful person as the third young master is hurt by that guy, it would be regrettable.â
âThatâs right. But weâre just ordinary people. We can do nothing to help him.â
âYouâre wrong. Many hands make light work. I believe that if all of us surround Lord Wangâs mansion, that philanderer wonât be able to get in!â
âYou are so naïve. In front of great martial artists, ordinary people are nothing at all. Even if we surround Lord Wangâs mansion, the philanderer can still enter with his martial arts. He can even fly! We can do nothing about it!â
âWhat shall we do then?â
âWe can only count on the government. Do you remember that the philanderer didnât succeed in taking Miss Song away last time?â
âShh... How dare you talk about that woman? You wanna die? Sheâs a vixen! She even killed her own mother. Can she be still called a human being?â
âRight, donât talk about that bitch. Such a woman deserves to be cut into pieces!â
âItâs a pity that the philanderer failed in taking her away!â
âThatâs right... Ah...â
All of a sudden, those people, who just spoke ill of Song Cailian, began to scream.
Long and Shi immediately stood up as a white figure flashed past them.
âSong Cailian!â Shi looked very serious, but he did not act. Instead, he ordered two Shadow Guardians to chase after her.
Since Long was there, Shi wouldnât hesitate for a moment about staying by his side. He was worried that Song would come back again. In that case, Long would be in great danger.
âMy hands!â
âMy ears!â
âAh! It hurts!â
In the teahouse, the injured people were groaning everywhere.
Song just gave them some warning and didnât kill anyone...
Maybe she distained to do that... or she just didnât dare to...
Neither Long nor Shi looked very good.
They looked at each other and decided to leave the teahouse first.
After the two of them got out of the teahouse, Shi said, âLetâs go back.â
Long nodded. âMhmm... Letâs go back first...â
As the Shadow Guardians followed in secret, they went off in the direction of the mansion.
This time, Long once again felt as if someone was peeking at him. He suddenly turned round...
However, like last time, he still didnât find anything...
Shi looked at Long and said, âWhatâs the matter?â
Long shook his head slowly. âNothing...â
Shi frowned. âYou feel someone is looking at you again?â
Long shook his head with a smile. âNo. Letâs go...â
