Chapter 6 - Part 3
She was stark naked, there was no place on her body to hide even a piece of needle let alone a place to hide a weapon. Therefore, whoever was going to embrace her would feel very safe, as safe as lying inside a coffin and be buried inside the earth.
Those men who had ever embraced her were probably resting in peace inside the earth as well. But in a beautiful spring’s night like this, how many men could renounce the joy of embracing a beautiful lady who was willing to be hold.
Chu Liuxiang knew at least there were two men who could. Aside from him there was one other person.
Because he had seen Miss Yingzi was thrown away. Apparently the young master Xue had slapped her using the back of his hand.
Actually Xue Chuanxin enjoyed and tempted by Yingzi’s seduction, and Yingzi was also aware of this fact and she also knew that Xue Chuanxin was reacting in accordance to her wish. Hence, she couldn’t comprehend it when Xue Chuanxin slapped her instead.
“I was treating you nicely, why did you hit me?”
“When that lady was bathing, why did you put her into a chest and took it away?” Xua Chuanxin sighed, “That is the thing that should be done by the people like me, why do you have to compete with me?”
“You came here because of her?” Yingzi seemed to be angrier than when she was slapped by Xue Chuanxin. “In what way do I lose to her?”
“There is only one”
“She has taken a bath and therefore she is cleaner than you.”
Chu Liuxiang bit by bit started to understand.
Xue Chuanxin pursued this ninja because of another girl. That girl was kidnapped and put into the chest when she was bathing.
But then, why did Yingzi came here from a faraway place just to kidnap a lady who was bathing?
Chu Liuxiang did not understand. And precisely because he didn’t understand, he felt that this matter was really intriguing.
He really wanted to know was there really a chest inside the tavern. And was there really a lady inside the chest? What was the reason for this whole antic?
Chu Liuxiang agreed with Xue Chuanxin.
Putting a naked lady into a chest, to be taken away afterward was not something that should be done by a woman.
Even for a man like Xue Chuanxin, this will not be done often.
This deed was not a ‘grand’ deed and not many who could do it. But unexpectedly, the poise fragrant commander Chu could also do it.
He had always had a fortuitous life and this time too was no exception. In a short moment Chu Liuxiang had found the chest and inside the chest indeed there was a naked lady.
He carried the chest away, the chest together with its content. How could he do this? What was so special about that lady?
***
Originally Chu Liuxiang didn’t see the chest; he was ‘helped’ by Yingzi.
Yingzi suddenly changed her approach.
“You are right, she was cleaner than me, but are you sure that right now she is still cleaner than me?”
She said it while emolliating her swollen cheek. “If you slapped me again, then when you find her it is very possible that she would have changed into the dirtiest woman in the world!”
Xue Chuanxin snared at her coldly, but her glare was even more freezing.
“If you killed me, I will make sure that you will find a dead dirty woman.”
Looking at Xue Chuanxin’s expression, Chu Liuxiang knew that Yingzi tactic was working,
Against a man like Xue Chuanxin, tricking, flirting, fighting and begging will get you nowhere. The only way was to find his weakness and use it against him.
This Japanese woman had a good instinct. She was able to understand men well like how an animal understands a hunter. Not many women have this kind of instinct.
Xue Chuanxin’s attitude changed, He said “No one would benefit from two dead women”
He smiled, “I really wish that both of you will live peacefully to old ripe age.”
A smile made his face more attractive, Yingzi’s attitude changed too. She said “Do you want me to lead you to where she is?”
“Yes”
“Then what will happen afterwards?”
Suddenly, Xue Chuanxin’s smile looked sly, he embraced Yigzi’s waist and whispered to her ears, “After that you will find out what kind of a man I am.”
Yingzi was not a stupid woman; neither was she a young girl who would be bewitched by some handsome face.
Only with this one sentence, there’s no way she would give her allegiance.
She was the only one who knew where the chest was, that’s the only effective weapon she had to fight against Xue Chuanxin.
Surely she needed a better guarantee or giving more terms and when these terms had all been fulfilled then she would bring him to find that lady.
But she didn’t do such thing.
No term, no guarantee, she seemed to be entirely enamored by this man’s one sentence.
If Hu Tiehua was with Chu Liuxiang, he would definitely jump down and gave her two or three slaps to inject some sense to her.
Luckily Chu Liuxiang was not Hu Tiehua.
Chu Liuxiang understood the real reason; Yingzi did that in order to lure Xue Chuanxin away from her room.
Why did she try so hard to lure Xue Chuanxin away from her room? Was it because she didn’t like his presence inside her room?
When she left the room, she didn’t even lock the door.
When Chu Liuxiang saw it, his eyes were immediately shining. The chest must be inside the room. If there was anyone who dares to bet with him, whatever the bet was, Chu Liuxiang would definitely follow it because he surely would win.
