CHAPTER 136: CHAPTER 133: WITH A LOVELY WIFE AT HOME, I CAN’T BEAR TO DIE YOUNG

Under the moonlit night, the little butterfly had a pair of transparent wings, shimmering with a delicate silver glow, possessing a mysterious, dreamlike beauty.

Yun Ran opened her palm and lightly brushed the butterfly’s wings with her fingers.

"Let’s go~ little spirit~ take me to find that scoundrel’s lair! Let’s make a huge fortune!"

[Weren’t you going to retrieve your sack? What’s this? Planning to loot some treasure too?]

[Well, he was the one who swindled my Silver first, am I being excessive by collecting a bit of interest?]

[Not at all! We just mean, why don’t you grab some beauty along with the treasure?]

Yun Ran: "..."

The butterfly flapped its wings, lifted by the wind, and flew into the endless moonlight.

Yun Ran followed behind, departing from Prince Qin Mansion, heading towards the southwest.

Eventually, she arrived at an exquisite courtyard.

Yun Ran looked at the courtyard, with tall buildings and meandering waterways, concealed within the boundless night, exuding an indescribable elegance and uniqueness.

"This... is really the lair of that dog who stole people’s Silver? Are you sure it’s not a mistake?"

[Afraid? Just go in and check, won’t you? Weren’t you going to loot the treasure? This seems to be a wealthy household; there’s bound to be a lot to loot!]

[Little Thief Ran, charge!]

Yun Ran despised it.

"A girl loves money but acquires it properly! Understand?"

However, Yun Ran decided to go in and take a look.

Spiritual gu was never wrong, since it flew inside...

The courtyard was a world unto itself; all along the way, Yun Ran felt as though the twists and turns nearly made her dizzy.

Finally, following the spiritual gu, she arrived at a small yard filled with trees of red plum blossoms.

The breeze blew, bringing waves of plum fragrance, cold and elegant.

Yun Ran immediately noticed the man sitting beneath the plum tree under the moonlight.

Dressed in black, blended into the vast night, with an aura of mystery.

He propped one hand on the table, slightly turning his head, holding a book in the other hand, yet he hadn’t flipped a page for a long while.

Could it be that he’s asleep?

From Yun Ran’s position, she could see his side profile, still wearing that mask.

Without the plaster and bandages obscuring; the man’s fingers were as long and elegant as jade, exceptionally beautiful under the moonlight.

Yun Ran felt a subtle sense of familiarity, recalling Nangong Mo’s hands.

But then she thought again, pretty hands all look about the same, right?

Third Senior Brother’s hands were particularly handsome too!

Yun Ran held her breath, lightened her steps, silently approaching the man.

[Ha! It was all a façade! Dismantling bandages in half a day? Possible? Scoundrel, see how I’ll deal with you later!]

[Dare to steal my Silver; I’ll make you regret being born.]

Yun Ran found a wooden stick, cautiously approaching him from behind, planning to knock him out and tie him up, then splash him with cold water to wake him up, and slowly deal with him!

Just as she was about to strike him, her foot suddenly slipped.

The ground, seemingly solid, was actually hollow, with a big pit below!

Yun Ran felt as if she stepped into quicksand, her body plunging downward.

Fortunately, she reacted swiftly, agile and nimble; halfway through the fall, her body bounced up with a reverse airborne flip; in mid-air, she tapped her foot on a tree to borrow force and aimed to spin for a landing.

But that step triggered a hidden mechanism.

A rope sprang out from where she stepped, instantly entangling her foot.

At the same time, a giant net descended from above, swiftly enveloping her, trapping Yun Ran in mid-air!

And suspended her on the tree.

In the net, hanging on the tree, swaying with the wind like a swing.

Yun Ran: "!!!"

[Such a blunder in Jingzhou, sabotaged in a ditch!]

She tugged at the net and couldn’t help but grit her teeth.

[It’s made of Heavenly Silkworm Silk! Impervious to fire and water, immune to blades and swords, absolutely impossible to tear!]

[This scoundrel actually foresaw it?! But how did he know she would come?]

Yun Ran’s mind raced quickly as she saw the ’sleeping’ man’s gentle awakening, his voice coming through the mask filled with surprise:

"Oh? How did a person appear on the tree when I woke up?"

"Could it be that she fell from the sky?"

Then the man actually looked up at the sky.

"A demon falls from heaven?"

Yun Ran: "..."

[You’re the demon! Your whole family is a demon!]

"Scoundrel! Stop pretending! Don’t act like this had nothing to do with you!"

"Oh! The demon can even curse? But why does that voice sound somewhat familiar?"

"..."

Yun Ran gritted her teeth fiercely and said with a sinister tone:

"I can not only curse but also kill; do you want to try bringing your head over here?"

"Better not, I just got married not long ago, and I have a lovely wife at home; I can’t bear a premature death."

Although the mask obscured his face, hiding his expression, his voice was full of bragging and flaunting laughter.

Just imagining how punchable that face was at this moment!

Yun Ran sneered at him mockingly, "Someone like you even has someone interested? Tossed onto the street, no one would pick you up! Not only won’t they pick you up, but not even dogs would give you a glance."

But the man wasn’t the least bit annoyed; he found a folding fan from somewhere, holding it and waving, exuding countless worldly charms.

"What’s wrong with me, Prince Charming? I’m dashing and elegant, don’t know how many girls adore me, dreaming of marrying me!"

"Adore you? That girl must have not opened an umbrella during the rain, or else her brain was drenched to fancy you!"

Just as she finished speaking, she heard the man let out a melodious magnetic laugh, seemingly in a very good mood.

Then he said, "But my little wife really likes me; she likes me to the point of obsession, marrying no one but me."

Yun Ran: "..."

She couldn’t possibly curse the girl, could she?

"Then I wish you abandoned after a change of heart! Competers everywhere!"

"And may your Silver be swiped away by rivals! Not a copper coin left, and you roam the streets, begging along the roadside!"

"Not only being unable to get food, also chased and bitten by dogs!"

The man in black: "..."

He remained silent for a full ten seconds before regaining his voice, and now, compared to his previous arrogance, he had a hint of chilling breath.

"I finally remembered, Yan Ruofeng, didn’t I?"

"Exactly! It’s your grandpa!"

"..."

Beneath the mask, the man’s mouth twitched, paused for a moment, then continued:

"Divine Doctor Yan has such refined interests! Not sleeping in the middle of the night, coming to Prince Charming’s place for a swing?"

"How is it? Is the scenery on the tree nice?"

Yun Ran: "!!!"

Better not mention it; mentioning it just makes her want to bite!

"Despicable and shameless sinister villain! Have the guts to let me down, so we can fight fairly?"

"Fairly?"

The man chuckled, the tone full of teasing, "You mean dressed in night attire, holding a stick, sneaking into Prince Charming’s house on a moonless night to carry out questionable acts?"

Yun Ran: "..."
