Chapter 354 I Just Got the Wrong Person
Lu Chengwen ran while fastening his belt, shouting, "Xue Ning! Xue Ning, my darling!"
Qi Meishao had already dressed, brandishing her sword as she dashed out of the villa, chasing straight after Lu Chengwen.
"Lu Chengwen! I swear I will kill you!"
Jiang Xiaohou pushed open the wardrobe door, smirking cunningly while holding the unconscious Luo Shiyin in his hand.
With a light push, he released Luo Shiyin's acupoint, causing her to collapse weakly onto the bed.
Jiang Xiaohou gently lifted his foot, stepping barefoot onto the windowsill. He glanced back at Luo Shiyin, let out a snort, and immediately went off to chase Lu Chengwen.
Meanwhile, Long Aotian had already severely injured the five brothers, but he himself was not faring much better.
Ahu gritted his teeth. "Brothers! This is it—today decides everything!"
Fubo struggled to stand up. "Damn it! Brothers, let's fight to the death!"
Long Aotian's fists were both covered in blood. He lifted his head, his face twisted in a ferocious grimace, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.
"You guys… if I don't kill you, I might as well give up on life!"
Just then, a bare-chested Lu Chengwen came running over, shouting as he ran, "Where's Xue Ning?! Who saw her?!"
Ahu quickly pointed. "She went after Dangkou Tianwang!"
Long Aotian was shocked. "Lu Chengwen? You're still alive?!"
Lu Chengwen ran past and called out to Long Aotian, "Big bro, nice pants!"
"You son of a—"
Before Long Aotian could finish cursing, he turned his head to see Qi Meishao running over, her face streaked with tears.
"Lu Chengwen! I'm going to cut you down!"
"Meishao! Don't chase him for now. These five are about to go down—join forces with me, and together we can—hey? Hey!? Meishao! Meishao! Damn it!"
Qi Meishao had eyes for no one but Lu Chengwen. She raised her sword high above her head. "Lu Chengwen! I'll kill you!"
She ran right past Long Aotian without even looking at him.
The five men, who had been on the verge of collapse, had been terrified a moment ago.
A new expert from Shang Sumen joining the fray? We're definitely dead meat.
But when they saw Qi Meishao dash after Lu Chengwen instead, all five turned to stare at Long Aotian.
Long Aotian hesitated for a few seconds before growling, "My Meishao did that on purpose. She'll be back in a second to cut you all down!"
Silence.
"She's coming back any moment now."
Still silent.
Long Aotian felt awkward. "She… just didn't hear me."
A mere Zhong Sumen fighter like Lu Chengwen—how could he possibly outrun Qi Meishao?
He barely made it three hundred meters before Qi Meishao kicked him off the private road. He tumbled down the slope, rolling and bouncing along the mountainside.
Just as Lu Chengwen stopped rolling and lay sprawled out, Qi Meishao stomped her foot down on his chest, gritting her teeth, her face streaked with tears.
Lu Chengwen hurriedly said, "I didn't do anything! I just kissed a little, touched a little, patted a little, hit a little, messed around a little… I even loosened some of your ropes for you! Besides that, what did I even do?!"
Qi Meishao roared, "I'll kill you, you lecherous scoundrel!"
She thrust her sword downward, and Lu Chengwen was so terrified his soul nearly left his body.
According to the original plot, he was supposed to die at Zhang Shen'er's hands—was he going to die here instead?
If I die here, I guess that does put the plot back on track…
No, wait!
Those stunning beauties all lost interest in Long Aotian!
Lu Chengwen struggled with all his might to dodge, but the long sword still plunged into his shoulder.
Qi Meishao gritted her teeth and tried to press the blade down further, but suddenly, she felt a strange weakness overtaking her body. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't muster any strength.
Enraged, she stepped on Lu Chengwen, gripped the sword with both hands, and pulled it out, preparing to slash instead.
But in that instant, she caught the scent of Lu Chengwen's fresh blood.
Qi Meishao suddenly felt her heart pounding violently, her hands trembling uncontrollably. A kind of… indescribable attraction made her dazed, her anger dissipating…
Qi Meishao felt like she was sick.
She shook her head vigorously, gripped her sword with both hands, and raised it high above her head. "I'll hack you to death!"
Lu Chengwen, clutching his wound, hurriedly stretched out his free hand and waved frantically. "No, no, no! Do you remember? I even treated you to a meal!"
Qi Meishao stared at the blood on Lu Chengwen's hand.
On this patch of green grass, the scent of blood was sharp and distinct, carried away by the wind.
Qi Meishao's heartbeat quickened again, as if some physiological and psychological resonance within her had been awakened.
Her whole mind was… unfocused.
She suddenly felt an inexplicable attraction to Lu Chengwen!
Qi Meishao struggled to regain her composure.
Lu Chengwen was also at a loss.
[What's going on? Just treating her to a meal works this well?]
[Is she a foodie?]
[So… is she going to strike or not?]
Qi Meishao's anger flared up again. She gritted her teeth, gripped the sword with both hands, and raised it high once more. "I'll hack you to death!"
But as soon as she saw Lu Chengwen's wound, she felt weak all over again. Her breathing quickened, her mind was in turmoil, and her thoughts became hazy…
Lu Chengwen looked at her suspiciously. "So… something unexpected did happen, but it wasn't entirely my fault…"
"What did you say!?"
Qi Meishao was about to explode.
Lu Chengwen quickly changed his words. "It's my fault! My fault! I'll take responsibility!"
Qi Meishao pointed her sword at Lu Chengwen. "How are you going to take responsibility!?"
Lu Chengwen lay on the ground, glancing around to make sure no one was nearby.
"How do you want me to take responsibility?"
"I… I already made a pact with the Young Lord long ago! And now that you've seen everything, you… you've ruined me!"
Lu Chengwen said, "Yes, yes, yes, let's discuss a solution! Can money fix this?"
"You think I, Qi Meishao, am that kind of person!?"
Qi Meishao was about to slash down again, and Lu Chengwen instinctively raised his arm—exposing his wound once more.
Qi Meishao suddenly realized—
I can't look at his wound. I can't smell his blood.
The moment I do… I start feeling weird, I lose all my strength!
Lu Chengwen quickly said, "Actually, we didn't do anything at all, right? And honestly, I really made a mistake.
Earlier, I was with Luo Shiyin, we were… fooling around! Who could have guessed that you'd suddenly be there, and then Luo Shiyin just vanished!"
"I really didn't know it was you! And when I realized, didn't I stop before anything… truly irreversible happened? Didn't I?"
Qi Meishao's heart was in chaos. Suddenly, she felt like Lu Chengwen's words made some sense.
"Right?" Lu Chengwen saw her hesitation and immediately continued explaining, "At the time, I thought you were Luo Shiyin. You know what's going on between me and Luo Shiyin… I mistook you for her, so I thought the game was still going. But as soon as I realized it was you, I untied you, unlocked your acupuncture point, and even gave you clothes. Right?"
"From the bottom of my heart, I don't have that kind of feeling for you—"
