Chapter 190 - Guess Whose Man He Is
Chapter 190 of "Journey to the End of the Night" starts the action: Baili An didnât look back, just sucked on the rabbit energetically.The little corpse demon looked... Find out what happens!
Baili An didnât look back, just sucked on the rabbit energetically.
The little corpse demon looked intoxicated.
The little rabbit also had an intoxicated expression.
In the eyes of both the corpse and the rabbit, there seemed to be little stars twinkling.
Baili An spoke with a muffled voice, âMmm, Iâve memorized and learned those two Breathing and Exhaling Techniques Wen Sister sent.
Even though I lack a sense of smell, I can still feign breathing.â
Fang Geyu was slightly shocked inside, thinking that those were the Breathing and Exhaling Techniques personally modified by Taixuan, difficult for ordinary people to understand.
He had been coughing and panting all the way, yet he had fully comprehended those two techniques?
Utterly incredulous, she let out two cold laughs, glancing at the white rabbit with its paws limply hanging down between Baili Anâs arms, and curled her lip.
âFaking breathing, yet you canât do it for real.
You really think you can exhale a flower?â
Baili An, biting an ear of the rabbit, replied seriously, âWould you like to take a bite too?â
As soon as he finished speaking, the mood of the rabbit in his arms changed dramatically.
It squeaked, holding its chubby face with two paws, looking sullen and unhappy.
Fang Geyu was taken aback, âScram!
Do I look like the kind of juvenile person to you?
Speaking of which, donât you have a deer?
Why donât I see you sucking on the deer with such joy?â
Baili An said, âThe deer is good, but itâs too big, the antlers too hard, the fur too short; hard to suck.â
He seemed to have a point.
Lin Yuan had been laughing so hard that he couldnât stand straight.
Hearing the laughter, Fang Geyu suddenly came to her senses, feeling annoyed at herself for discussing such a childish and brainless topic with this brat.
Her fingers tapped impatiently on the desk, âWerenât you saying you were hungry?
Eat first, I have questions for you after youâve eaten.â
Baili An obediently drained the bowl of blood.
As Fang Geyu clumsily dressed her wounds, her brow was tightly knitted, âYou shouldnât have killed Ming Yuanji today.â
Lin Yuan looked surprised, âWerenât you all about fighting and killing?
When the black card was thrown out, I was quite shocked; you actually got so angry for Si Chen to this extent.â
Fang Geyu rolled her eyes, hardly able to contain her anger, âWhy would I be angry for that boy?
Ming Yuanji deserved to die, but even so, it shouldnât have been him taking action.â
She is Shifang Cityâs esteemed jewel, although without any particular skills, her identity is her greatest strength.
A Cultivator at the Sea Expansion Realm, regarded as a genius admired by thousands, wherever they look.
Yet, to her, once the black card was issued, she could claim his life, even if it were her sworn brothers, they dare not defy the order, nor harbor any resentment.
Even if itâs the wilful nature of a young miss, being a member of Tiangge City, one can only carry out orders.
Therefore, Chai Ye taking action personally was the best course of action.
Baili An, however, said, âWith the great examination impending, if you force Chai Ye to kill his own junior brother, even if he does not dare rebel, it will create resentment.
Now that youâve lost a cultivator at the Sea Expansion Realm, if you pressured Chai Ye to kill him, youâd be left without anyone useful under your command.â
Lin Yuan was quite surprised, âSi Chen, did you kill Ming Yuanji because he made a sneak attack and wanted your life?â
Baili An turned his head and glanced at Lin Yuan with a smile, âIf I resented him for wanting to kill me, I would find an opportunity to act on my own.
But as Fang Geyu said, Ming Yuanji deserved death.
Since that was the case, itâs better he died swiftly to avoid any unnecessary trouble.â
Fang Geyu withdrew her gaze from him, her eyebrows knitted, she was lost in thought as she looked at the flickering candle flame for a while.
Then she said calmly without emotion, âSo who do you think was Ming Yuanjiâs person?â
Baili An looked honest and simple, âI donât know.â
Fang Geyuâs face showed a flash of frustration, âYou kill without knowing anything!â
Baili An sighed, âIâm not a deity.
There are so many lives in this world, so many powerful forces, where do I, a corpse demon who just crawled out of a coffin, fit in to figure it all out?â
Fang Geyu looked at him with intense eyes.
Lin Yuan frowned, âWhat do you mean by that?
Was Ming Yuanji actually a spy sent by someone else?â
Baili An smiled at Lin Yuan, his gaze bright as he said, âSister Lin Yuan, do you think itâs necessary to be in such a hurry to deal with all those strangers, those wastes of space, considering youâre a Guest Elder Cultivator in Tiangge City?
âOf course, those three remaining people also wanted to see me, with my low cultivation, make a fool of myself.
But with the big examination coming soon, will there be any shortage of opportunities for me to embarrass myself?
Everyone knows the rules not to overstep before their masterâs young miss, but his audacity was extraordinary.â
Lin Yuan hadnât considered this and looked complexly at the revelation.
Baili An stood by the window; outside, the sky was like thick ink spreading, dotted with sparse, azure-blue stars.
The sparse starlight moved across his clothes, giving him an air of otherworldly detachment.
He licked the residual blood at the corner of his pale lips; his black eyes, without a trace of joy or anger, spoke lightly, âWhat he wanted was Fang Geyuâs life.â
Fang Geyuâs eyes were slightly cold, but her expression was extremely calm, âThatâs the norm.â
Baili An said, âBut you mentioned, these four were personally selected by your father for you, thatâs not normal.â
Suddenly, Fang Geyu narrowed her eyes, âWhat are you trying to say?â
âI heard that your two brothers are also participating in the heirâs grand examination.â
âYou suspect my two brothers?â Fang Geyuâs expressionless face suddenly smiled, but the smile had an indescribable playfulness.
Baili An looked at her intently, âDonât you already have an answer in your heart?â
Fang Geyuâs smile lost its usual sarcasm, and her emotions were indescribable.
âItâs not them, although the position of Xianling Cityâs City Lord is a power and wealth that thousands dream of, and itâs the same for my two brothers.
They fight each other, and itâs true they might do such a thing.
But towards me, their sister, they cherish me too much to do such a deed.â
Lin Yuan widened her eyes curiously; sheâd known Fang Geyu for many years, but this was the first time she heard her voluntarily speak of her familyâs matters.
She said, âIf your two brothers care about you so much, then why the strife over the position of City Lord?
They might as well each step back and let you have it.
That way, it would also save them the trouble of brothers turning on each other.â
Fang Geyu was amused by Lin Yuanâs naĂŻve comment and couldnât help but reaching out to hook her snow-white chin.
She smiled ambiguously, âLittle Yuan, your naĂŻvetĂŠ is really hard for anyone to dislike~ You see, love is loveâŚ
but even with blood relations, there are things you canât concede or give away.â
Lin Yuan looked half understanding, then her face flushed slightly, and she turned her head to avoid her fingers, âStop it, who are you calling naĂŻve?â
Fang Geyuâs lips curved up, and with her hands poised like playful claws, she was about to continue her teasing when she was caught by a gaze and looked up.
Baili An stood at a corner window, his posture unchanged, like a docile and quiet little deer, his clear and profound gaze watching their frolicking.
This demeanor was vastly different from that of the boy who had just been letting the tiger out to feast.
