Chapter 9
A Lesson for Your Superiors
As soon as these words were uttered, even Jun Jing Lan, who was wise, calm, and ruthless, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth a few times. Were these words a woman could say? In front of everyone, without any restraint, talking about breasts and buttocks.
But Feng Qing Huang's anger hadn't subsided; she felt this humiliation was truly immense. She was this old and yet someone had kicked her in the butt. Next time she stepped out the door, she would probably have to carry an item—a black cloth bag!
To cover her face!
After a flurry of "clangs and bangs," the beaten shadow guard was completely transformed. His mother would absolutely not recognize him in front of her. Feng Qing Huang finally vented her anger and retracted her leg! And the shadow guard's butt, which she had kicked repeatedly, was numb and swollen significantly!
It wasn't that he didn't fight back, but that His Highness stood there silently watching him get beaten, with no intention of stopping it, so he dared not retaliate! After being beaten, his face turned into a pig's head. He sorrowfully clutched his swollen butt, his eyes brimming with tears, looking at his great Crown Prince. —Master, oh Master, your subordinate has been beaten from a human into a pig, please spare me this once.
Jun Jing Lan's narrow, long eyes stared at him, one second, two seconds, three seconds.
Finally, he took a breath: "You may withdraw first!"
As the number one member of the world-renowned "Dragon Soul Guards," being kicked in the butt was more unbearable than being killed!
The shadow guard, half joyful, half sorrowful, half lucky, half miserable, clutched his butt and retreated.
The remaining Dragon Soul Guards looked at his retreating back, suddenly enlightened. They all sighed in their hearts — Oh, so being beaten into a pig can save one's life! Remember this for when you make a mistake next time...
Having exacted her revenge, Feng Qing Huang's anger finally dissipated, and she calmed down. She was, in fact, nothing else; she simply had a grudge that she wouldn't let go, exceptionally fierce and reckless! Her gaze swept around. The shadow guards who met her eyes all remembered their comrade who had just run off clutching his butt. They felt an inexplicable twitching pain in their own buttocks, filled with an urge to clutch their butts and flee!
This woman was ferocious! At least, they had never seen anyone like her in all their lives!
Satisfied to see the terrified looks in their eyes, Feng Qing Huang brushed the dust off her leg, then gave Jun Jing Lan a mischievous glance:
"Young man, this old lady is in a good mood today, so I'll let bygones be bygones for your adding fuel to the fire just now! Go back and tell those old men that glaciers are melting and penguins are going extinct. So tell them, if they have nothing to do, contribute to the world, care more about society and the ecological environment, and don't provoke this old lady for no reason! Also, I have no interest in being set up with you! Go!"
With that, she turned gracefully, preparing to leave!
Set up? Jun Jing Lan's sword-like brows furrowed, his eyes holding a smile. Where did this woman draw that conclusion from? Set up? Who in this world would be so reckless as to try to set up such a fierce and powerful woman with him, Jun Jing Lan? The answer, naturally, was impossible! Thus, there was only one conclusion — she was feigning ignorance!
"Stop!" A shout like thunder rang out!
Black-clad figures swiftly advanced, their steady and rapid steps forming a circle, blocking Feng Qing Huang!
"What is it?" Feng Qing Huang turned back in surprise, not understanding. Wasn't a "set up" simply a matter of not being interested, and then it was over? After all, she wasn't interested in this demonic man, because his entire being exuded a provoking aura. And he clearly wasn't pleased with her appearance either, so... why wouldn't he let her go?
"You dirtied my bathwater. I haven't agreed, and you dare to leave?" The voice was light and slow, the tone gentle, like a spring breeze caressing one's cheeks.
Yet, the more gentle it was, the more terrified everyone became. His Highness always spoke more softly the angrier he got!
"Then what do you want?" It was just a basin of bathwater; a man shouldn't be so petty as to argue with her over it, right?
But, she was clearly mistaken!
"What do I want? Xiao Man, you tell her what I want!" He smiled faintly at her, his demeanor elegant, but that smile looked malicious no matter how one saw it, and captivating no matter how one saw it! Of course, this was all Feng Qing Huang's subjective perception.
Xiao Man respectfully stepped forward and spoke: "Your Highness, according to this servant's incomplete statistics, this month, she is the three hundred and twenty-eighth person to attempt to peek at Your Highness bathing. And before her, the 327 women who failed were either flayed, deboned, or roasted. Many methods were used, but generally, they were these three types!"
"Cough..." Feng Qing Huang almost choked to death on his words!
The three hundred and twenty-eighth person to attempt to peek at him bathing? Although this man was truly demonic in appearance, it couldn't be that exaggerated, could it?
Alright, she had no interest in beauty, so she really couldn't understand the inner impulses of these "lustful women." But, if what he said was true, could it be that she had misunderstood, and it wasn't a "set up"?
Just as she was pondering, Xiao Man, ever loyal, continued to speak:
"But this servant thinks that this woman not only used lewd eyes to gaze upon your noble body, but also audaciously dirtied your bathwater, and then, not knowing her place, showed great disrespect to Your Highness. Therefore, a mere flaying or deboning is too lenient; she should be utterly annihilated! For this reason, she should first be soaked in a cesspool for three days and three nights, to let her thoroughly experience impurity! Afterwards, roast her over a fire, making her flesh and blood intertwine, roasted until perfectly done. Surely, the meat will be delicious, and even stray dogs by the roadside will love it!"
Feng Qing Huang's mouth twitched as she listened to Xiao Man speak. She used lewd eyes to gaze upon his noble body? Was this eunuch blind? Her eyes were large, round, and pure; how could they be lewd?
Hearing their words, which sounded more like preparing a suckling pig than dealing with a person, she shrugged dismissively, speaking with a hint of disdain:
"This is a society governed by law! Don't think this old lady is a fool who'll be scared by you! Let me tell you, that trick is long outdated!" Was she, Feng Qing Huang, so easily scared?
A society governed by law? Everyone looked up, strangely glancing at her. Talking about the law in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, was this woman out of her mind?
Jun Jing Lan heard this and wasn't angry. Instead, he slightly curved his lips into a faint, malicious smile and spoke:
"Then in this society governed by law, first take her to the cesspool for a bath, to thoroughly sober her up! The bathwater is defiled, and I still feel very uncomfortable!"
As soon as these words came out, several black-clad figures, suppressing the trembling in their buttocks, stepped forward to seize her!
Feng Qing Huang frowned at him, seeing no hint of jest in his eyes. She felt a shock, realizing something was wrong. Could this crazy joke be turning serious? With so many people, she clearly couldn't win. If she was really thrown into a cesspool, even as a ghost, she'd lose face!
Therefore, she made a quick decision, swiftly and gracefully approaching Jun Jing Lan. She forced a few laughs, smiling with feigned intimacy:
"Hehe! This dashing and imposing handsome man, I beg you to think carefully. What good would it do you to kill a nameless nobody like me and be hunted by the police? I'll give you a suggestion; if you do it, you can become famous, a capable killer! You can go kill my grandfather, who is the head of the Feng Family. After killing him, you'll probably even make the front page of newspapers, your fame spreading throughout the world. That way, even if you're wanted, it'll be worth it! Ah ha ha ha! You're not saying anything, so I'll take it as you agreeing. Go on and kill! I'm leaving!"
Having spoken rapidly, she quickly turned and fled before the other could react! The old man wasn't easy to kill; at least, he hadn't died despite decades of assassination attempts. So Feng Qing Huang decisively offered the suggestion of selling out her own grandfather to escape danger!
Kill her grandfather? Jun Jing Lan's lips twitched. With a wave of his hand, a powerful gust of wind sucked Feng Qing Huang back just as she reached the door!
Feng Qing Huang's eyes narrowed, her expression changing. This was internal energy! Extremely powerful internal energy; she was no match at all!
While she was fuming, several black-clad figures, feeling discomfort in their buttocks, swiftly moved to subdue her! Her willow-like brows furrowed tightly, and she glared furiously at the demonic handsome man: "I said! Wasn't it just looking at you bathe and dirtying the bathwater? I didn't do it on purpose, and besides, I didn't even see clearly; I don't know if it's big or small! I..."
As soon as these words came out, the servants' eyes twitched, their mouths trembled, their hearts panicked, their scalps tingled, their thighs knocked together, and their soles felt cold all over!
Don't know if it's big or small?!
Jun Jing Lan heard this, and the faint smile on his lips finally vanished! His expression suddenly turned cold, his eyes icy, and the cinnabar mark between his brows instantly became as beautiful as blood!
He stepped forward a few paces, close to her ear, and said coldly: "Didn't see clearly? Then, I'll take everything off, so you can see clearly, alright? Hmm?"
