Chapter 1176: They’re Nothing Compared to You
Lu Yeming was unsurprised and his face was emotionless. He repeated again, “Give the rosary pea back to me.”
With a shake of her head, Jun Xiqing laughed coldly in her heart. He had been able to tell that one rosary pea was missing even among so many rosary peas.
He was going to kill all the officers of the Wuling Iron Steed Troop for that one rosary pea.
Impossible.
She understood deeply that to him, the Wuling Iron Steed Troop were nothing compared to the person in his heart.
“I already ate the rosary pea.”
An expression flickered across Lu Yeming’s face and a frown marred his features.
Jun Xiqing matched his gaze fearlessly. “If you’re really angry, then kill me.”
Lu Yeming swallowed and let out a soft laugh. He suddenly let go of her face and stood up. He looked at her from high above, and his lips curved upwards. “How do you know I won’t kill you right now?”
“Hasn’t the West Duke always coveted my wolf whispering skills?”
“Wan Wan, you think I only covet your skills. Don’t you know that I also... covet you?”
Jun Xiqing’s eyelashes quivered. His deep gaze slowly moved downwards from her face to her shapely, feminine figure under the white gauze.
Her hands slowly balled into fists, and she scolded him harshly. “You’re shameless and pathetic!”
Now that the truth was all out in the open, there was no need for them to continue putting on this act. From now on, she was his.
Lu Yeming’s beautiful face was faintly amused. “Come, bring the Jun family’s third daughter back.”
“Yes, Duke.”
“Wan Wan, you’ll stay at my palace as a guest. I want you to personally witness my... marriage.”
Marriage?
That’s right, he was going to marry.
Ye Ruge was his future duchess, and Ah Xiao was his concubine. He was basically marrying two people in a day.
Jun Xiqing thought that she wasn’t capable of feeling anything anymore, but her heart still felt like it had been stabbed with a long needle. It was numb and painful.
Her eyebrows knit together as she tried to hide her feelings before looking up. When she did, she smiled at him and said, “You want me to see you marry? Who do you think I am, your mother?”
At this moment Fan Men walked in and saw them. He quickly lowered his head and stood to one side. Lu Yeming felt the movement and released Tang Mo’er silently. “Elder Sis, go back upstairs and rest soon.
“Mm, okay.”
So Tang Mo’er went back upstairs and vanished into her room.
...
Fan Men stepped forward only after Tang Mo’er left and walked over to Lu Yeming. He reported in a low voice, “Duke, we’ve already located the Manjusaka.”
The Manjusaka, also known as... the Red Spider Lily.
Legend had it that the Red Spider Lily was as beautiful as a fire itself and grew only at the boundaries between life and death, which gave it the ability to bring back the dead and bring an elderly’s youth back.
The Red Spider Lily was only a legend and no one had actually seen it before. There was hope for Tang Mo’er as long as they had the Red Spider Lily.
Lu Yeming lowered his eyes to look at his sleeve. He had frozen the moment he heard this news. He looked up at Fan Men and asked, “Where is it?”
Fan Men said softly, “The Palace.”
...
In the deep of the night, in the master bedroom.
The door to the shower opened with a bang. Lu Yeming had just taken a shower and he walked out with an air of coldness.
He was wearing a set of blue silk pajamas as he dried his short hair with a towel. He walked over to the shelf, where there was a pack of cigarettes and a lighter on top.
Taking out a cigarette, he stuck it in between his thin lips. With a soft clap, he lit the lighter. Bending his beautiful figure slightly, he lit his cigarette.
The flickering cigarette cast a sheen of light over his handsome face. He really was a devil. Just one sight of him was enough to make a person blush. He leaned on his shelf lazily as he took a drag from his cigarette.
The smoke swirled around him and obscured his face, making him seem especially distant. He finished one cigarette silently before getting up to leave the room.
In the corridor, a maid greeted him respectfully. “Young Master.”
With one cigarette in his hand, Lu Yeming asked in a low voice, “Where is the third daughter of the Jun Family?
“Sir, she is in the Rainfall Pavilion.”
“Got it.”
...
Rainfall Pavilion
Jun Xiqing lay on the bed. She was having a nightmare, and a layer of cold sweat covered her forehead. At this moment, she heard a sound approaching her.
The door opened.
