Chapter 14: Murderer
The moment the man was about to kill Xiaohua with full strength, he was interrupted. He looked back and found Ji Wujin pulling his arm with her powerless hands.
“Don’t…”
Her hair covering her face just now was now separated apart because of her moves. He saw an attractive and familiar face and got shocked it was her.
Ji Wujin’s bloodspot eyes were full of tears and her voice was weak and hoarse,
“Sir, she didn’t see anything. It was me. I saw you on my own.”
The man heard every word Ji Wujin said, which shocked him.
Sir? She called him sir?
The man was suddenly confused. Did she know him at all?
He looked into her eyes, trying to find out if she was acting. Unfortunately, there were nothing but begging for mercy in her eyes.
“You don’t know me?”
He released her neck a bit and got curious about the woman who lost her memory.
Ji Wujin took the chance to catch breath and cough while she felt relieved a bit in mind. Although she was still held and pressed against the tree, perhaps she still had a hope to survive.
Holding that thought in mind, Ji Wujin managed to concentrate. She shook her head and tried to answer his questions.
“I don’t know you. Hack…Sir. How am I possible to know such a noble decent man? It takes me eight lives to meet you here for once. Don’t you think so? Hack…”
A trace of ice cold flashed before the man’s eyes. She indeed saw what happened just now in the lake!
As she sensed the man’s cold face, Ji Wujin forced herself to roll her eyes at herself. She wished she could slap herself. Why did she have to mention that thing!
“Hack… actually I was passing by. I just go here. So I basically didn’t see or hear anything. Hack… do you believe me?”
The man’s face got colder as Ji Wujin spoke lower. She was not fighting for a chance to live, instead pushing herself to a hell.
If she kept talking, he might kill her.
Ji Wujin closed her mouth completely and stared at the man with a pair of tearful eyes, trying to get his sympathy.
Looking at his own reflection in Ji Wujin’s clear eyes, the man was confused. She looked like she really didn’t know him.
“What are you doing here?” the man asked suddenly.
“Huh?”
Ji Wujin was surprised that the man was asking her a question. Did that mean that she had a chance to live because he was talking to him?
Ji Wujin glanced quickly at Xiaohua and made up a story in an instant. Then she raised her voice and cried with tears,
“Hack…Alas…Sir, you got right to the point. I came here because of that little bitch!”
She gave Xiaohua a hard stare, which scared Xiaohua. Surprisingly, Xiaohua instantly understood what Ji Wujin was up to and then nodded,
“Yes. Yes. It’s me!”
As Xiaohua got her, Ji Wujin continued,
“This little bitch is a new daughter I bought recently. I planned to train her very well so that she could sell her virginity at a great price, and then I can find a great life for her own good. Don’t you think it’s a great plan? But she didn’t thank me for that. She ran away. Luckily, I found out early so I chased her here. I didn’t expect she could run this far!”
After she finished, she gave a hard stare at Xiaohua again. At such a critical moment of life or death, Xiaohua gave a great support too. Suddenly she kneeled down on the floor and said with tearful puppy eyes,
“Sir, I beg for your mercy. She forced me to be a prostitute. I had no choice but ran away. I didn’t realize that I ran here. I didn’t mean it.”
The man turned around, a bit shocked,
“Are you a procuress?” he asked Ji Wujin in surprise.
Ji Wujin blinked. Did he mean he didn’t kill her if she was a procuress?
“Ugh. Yes.”
“Haha…”
The man had a complicated smile on his face,
“A procuress in Wind City?”
“Yes. Yes. I run a brothel named Xiaoxiang Lou.”
“Xiaoxiang Lou? Haha…”
The man suddenly laughed out loud and released Ji Wujin’s neck completely, dropping her on the floor. Without caring about her butt, Ji Wujin got back on feet quickly and thought she might understand the man’s interest. She smiled at the man, pulling up a flattering smile,
“Yes. Yes. You are very welcome to my brothel. You will be our honored guest.”
Hearing Ji Wujin, the man got interested and looked at her with smiling but complicated eyes, as if the ice cold eyes didn’t belong to him just now. who would believe such a smiling man planned to kill her just now? This man’s facial expression could change a lot!
“But you saw things that you shouldn’t see. What should we do?”
“Come on. Sex is such a normal thing. You have a great body and your wife is so sexy. As a woman, I envy her a lot. Hack… sorry that I glanced at your wife. But I am sure she doesn’t mind, does she? It is my great luck plus blessing from previous lives to see your great body. You don’t mind, do you?”
A strange smile flashed before the man’s eyes,
“Your wife?” He got interested. She didn’t know that woman was Imperial Concubine Xiang? And she thought she was his wife? Interesting.
Judging from his changing face, Ji Wujin faked a laughter,
“Aha…She is not your wife? Then she must your concubine. Still no? your sexual maid?”
“Poof!”
The man smiled out loud. Sexual maid? She thought the old man’s Imperial Concubine Xiang that he had cared for years was his sexual maid? He liked it.
The man laid his eyes on Ji Wujin. It had been two years that he hadn’t seen her. And she got more interesting.
“Chengxu…”
While Ji Wujin was playing a survival game, a woman said with a nervous voice over the bush. The three of them looked over. It was the woman in the lack.
The man gave a quick look at Ji Wujin and Xiaohua and make a quick decision. He could spare Hua Wujiao’s life but he had to kill the little girl just in case. He raised his hand and attacked Xiaohua.
Bam!
At the moment he touched Xiaohua, Ji Wujin pounced forward and protected Xiaohua behind her. She would be dead for sure if she received the punch.
The man changed the direction of his punch all of sudden. Ji Wujin could feel that her chest was damaged from inside as if she was crashing by a giant stone.
Ji Wujin and Xiaohua were pushed away a few meters. The man was shocked by how determined Ji Wujin was to protect her friend as he saw the blood on the ground. Eventually, he dropped his hand down.
“Go away!”
Despite a damaged, weak body because of the man, Ji Wujin was grateful because he spared their lives. It was a miracle to survive from such a brutal man.
“Thank, thank you sir.”
Xiaohua was grateful to Ji Wujin who got injured because she protected her. Holding tears in her eyes, she grabbed Ji Wujin’s arm and put it around her thin shoulders, moved quickly away with difficulties. Years of experience as a beggar told her that she had to run as far as she could when someone was in good mood before that person changed his mind.
The man stood put, watching them running away. For a long time, he raised his hand which was about to kill a girl but hesitated. A cold smile was back on his face and his eyes were cold again.
“I can spare your life for once. Don’t let me down.”
As he was murmuring, footsteps were approaching. The man adjusted his facial expression and walked toward the footstep. Soon, a woman said in a bush,
“Where are the two peepers?”
“They are dead.”
“Great. How dare they watch us! They have to die!”
“Father king must have gone back to the palace by now. you should go.”
“Please no…”
“Come on. I will take you out next time.”
“Keep your promise.”
“You horny slut.”
“Haha…”
