Chapter 203: Each Displaying Their Craftiness

“I can’t take it anymore…” Zixie Qing quietly transmitted a message, her stunning face unexpectedly turning pale, “Every time I hear that voice, my whole body trembles… My scalp tightens, wrinkles, and goes numb…”

This powerful being who has traversed numerous dimensions wore a look of lingering fear: “I’ve roamed for countless years… and have never been afraid of anyone, but this Gentle-hearted Young Master really makes me feel a sense of fear from the depths of my heart. He… he can kill a supreme being with just his mouth... it's disgusting!”

Zhuge Wen smiled gracefully and said, “Brother Ye, let’s get down to business.”

Night Slaying Rain twisted her waist and pouted, “Wenwen…”

Zhuge Wen finally shivered slightly, his lips turning blue, “Brother Ye, if you keep this up, I might just stop saying anything at all.”

Night Slaying Rain clearly didn’t care, lifting her face and saying with a ‘sorrowful’ tone, “Wenwen, how can you really ignore my feelings for you?”

Zhuge Wen grinned, finally unable to hold back, and said in a voice so gentle it was almost sickening, “Brother Ye, how can I not know your affections for me? It’s just that being in the secular world, one must care about others’ opinions, and since we are both from prestigious families… But since you’ve said so, let me make a statement: if you can convince the Ye Clan, I will marry you. As they say, three flat things are not as good as one round thing, haha…”

This time, it was Night Slaying Rain who couldn’t take it anymore. Her fur stood on end, and she jumped up, gritting her teeth, “Get lost! You sick pervert!”

That loud curse, however, came out in a perfectly masculine voice.

Zhuge Wen burst out laughing, nearly crying from laughter: “You dead shemale! Every day you use this kind of method to tease others, today you finally get a taste of your own medicine!”

Night Slaying Rain glared at him for a long time, and finally burst out laughing.

She sat back down.

In the grass, Zixie Qing, Chu Yang, and Chu Le'er were utterly speechless…

If it weren’t for these two finally starting to discuss serious matters, the three of them would have nearly fainted here.

At the same time, Chu Yang couldn’t help but admire Zhuge Wen, truly a man worthy of being from an intelligent family. He brilliantly used the other's methods against them, executing it perfectly.

Making even someone as thick-skinned as Night Slaying Rain feel embarrassed and furious.

This seemingly playful banter was actually a clash between two young masters from two great families. Night Slaying Rain was currently at a complete disadvantage because his most effective method of disgusting others had been turned against him by someone using an even more disgusting approach…

Chu Yang thought in his heart: I wonder what rank this Zhuge Wen holds in the Zhuge family?

If such a person doesn’t even rank first in the Zhuge family, then how scheming can the first young master of the Zhuge family be? How terrifying?

Chu Yang also thought to himself: How does this Zhuge Wen compare to Diwu Qingrou?

After some thought, he still felt Zhuge Wen was slightly inferior.

Because Diwu Qingrou would never change her expression, no matter the circumstances. Yet Zhuge Wen, whether it was for tactical reasons or simply unable to control himself, had indeed changed his expression.

Just then Zhuge Wen spoke, “Brother Ye, Chief Enforcer Lang has been pursuing Hong Wuliang for hundreds of years. This time, it’s clear he has received accurate news that Hong Wuliang is here, but… why doesn’t Chief Enforcer Lang take action personally? Or let the people from the Punishment Hall take action? Instead, he wants to rely on the power of our three families… What do you think?”

Night Slaying Rain’s eyebrows twitched as he pondered, “I suppose it’s because those old folks in the family have been caught by this Chief Enforcer of the Punishment Hall… and thus have no choice but to work for him?”
