Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Second Watch in the Eave Room_1

After a while,

Under the malicious smirk of Cai Wei, Nangong Yi finally lowered his gaze, picked up a crab, and began to dissect it silently. His fingers were slender and nimble, the knuckles distinct. In a short time, he had stripped all the crab meat and roe, placing them in the crab shell.

"This is for you!"

His elongated arm reached out. His skin was warm as jade, his presence as celestial as a fairy from Penglai. However, the teasing laughter from the corner of his eyes dissolved that immortal aura.

Seeing the sudden serving of crab meat, Cai Wei jumped in shock, as if she had seen a ghost, "What are you doing? Is this for me?"

With a nod and a sigh, Nangong Yi replied, "As the saying goes, one must bow their heads under someone else’s roof. If I don’t keep Wei’er happy, my life could be in peril!"

The proud evildoer had finally bowed to her. For a moment, Cai Wei felt like a long-oppressed peasant who finally had the chance to sing a song of victory. She took the crab meat and scoffed proudly, "Well, at least you know what’s good for you. I’m not petty. As long as you behave and don’t cause trouble, your little life will basically be safe!"

"I appreciate your kindness in sparing me, Wei’er..."

"Hmph, I’ll see how you behave..."

Nangong Yi, not feeling like eating, simply gazed at the triumphant young girl with a smirk, his eyes filled with deep, hidden meanings...

By evening, the shopkeeper from the dessert shop next door came over to hand Cai Wei the keys. After checking the back house of the dessert shop, she felt it was satisfactory. The layout and furniture were just as she had requested, nothing had been moved, and it was ready for someone to move in immediately.

After leaving the dessert shop, she went straight to the inn where she had arranged for Zhao Yun to stay, intending to let Zhao Yun move next door and take care of the evildoer for some time.

Upon seeing Zhao Yun, Cai Wei was taken aback. The once delicate, tender, and lovely girl from the morning had turned into an ugly woman with a yellow face and a large black birthmark. Despite her elegant features, her dull yellowish skin made her look unflattering. Plus, the black birthmark the size of an egg made it impossible for anyone to recognize her.

"Zhao Yun—" She called out tentatively.

Upon seeing her, Zhao Yun quickly bowed down, respectfully saying, "Miss!"

Her voice was calm and composed, with not a hint of regret about her transformation to an ugly woman. It was as if she was born that way.

"Let’s go!" Cai Wei said.

In truth, seeing Zhao Yun’s pretty face turn into this, Cai Wei also felt uncomfortable. But, she had no other choice. Unlike herself, Zhao Yun did not have a divine space, divine beasts, or exceptional skills. Even if she was beautiful, she could freely wander in the world of martial artists without fear of being coveted by evildoers.

However, Zhao Yun did not have this ability. If she went out with her original face, she would probably be abducted by bad guys before she could do anything.

Moreover, she was still young and not of the marriageable age yet. It was a good opportunity to gain some life experience and learn to judge people during these years. When she got to a marriageable age, she wouldn’t be easily deceived or bullied!

After she quietly took Zhao Yun back to the dessert shop and settled her down, she returned home and found an excuse to dismiss Auntie Liu, Aunt Zhang, Chun Liu, and others, intending to take the opportunity to move the evildoer next door.

Who would have expected that just after the evildoer had put on the underpants Cai Wei bought for him, he refused to wear anything else. "This is clearly children’s clothing. Are you trying to fool me with it?"

Cai Wei furrowed her brows in frustration, this was already the largest clothing size in the ready-made clothes shop, where was she supposed to find something his size? Besides, who asked him to grow so tall that even clothes shopping became problematic?

"You’ll have to make do with this for now, I promise, I’ll find a way to buy you a proper outfit tomorrow and deliver it to you." She coaxed him patiently, just wanting to get rid of him as soon as possible.

However, the man was utterly ungrateful, reclining lazily on the couch and fixating his gaze on Cai Wei, his attitude annoyingly arrogant, "This young master never settles."

"It’s not good to be naked all the time, you should wear it~" Cai Wei held back her temper, trying to reason with him again.

"I’m not wearing it!" The man’s tone was absolute, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Oh, come on——"

Having run out of patience, Cai Wei ’threw’ the clothes in her hand onto the floor with a ’plop’, without hesitation she stood up, stepped forward, delving a menacing look at the man and squeezing out four words through her gritted teeth: "Will——you——wear——it——or——not?"

Nangong Yi was not frightened by her anger, instead his eyes held a calm amusement as he looked at her, he slowly shook his head: "Won’t—— wear——"

"Okay, okay, you’re asking for it!"

Cai Wei’s fury intensified, her eyes icy like daggers, seemingly desiring to stab the man before her hundreds of times: "From now on, your medicine, water, food, heating will all be cut off, if you dare to make a sound in my room, I assure you, your balls will end up in the palace."

Having said her piece, she ’hurriedly’ stood up and stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind her.

Behind her, the man who was just verbally castigated watched her storm off, first looking stunned, then he started to laugh bitterly.

He didn’t intentionally give her a hard time just for some clothes. He was merely reluctant to part with the time spent with her, that’s why he acted that way.

Outside

The sun was setting in the west, Cai Wei went to the front yard where the servants lived, gave them instructions not to enter the main hall arbitrarily. After informing Uncle Zhou, she hired a horse carriage and hurried off to the county town.

She was not the least bit worried that the troublemaker wouldn’t get the hint and leave, although he seemed irreverent on the surface, he actually knew when to advance and when to retreat. As long as she cut off his supplies of medicine, water, and food, she’s sure he would get out of her house obediently.

What she was worried about was how her dad would react to her takeover of the main hall? In her memories, her father loved children and his family, but he was also a profoundly devout man.

She personally sent Old Man Mu and Mu Zhongli to prison, her mother tacitly approved of her actions, would her father resent this and feel guilty towards people like Lady Mu Bai and Lady Li?

If that were to happen, there wouldn’t be any peace in their home.

Lady Mu Bai and the rest had always been troublesome. If they were to lean on her father’s guilt, they would never stop coming around to make a fuss and ask for money.

What frustrated her more was, despite the nonsense by the main house, she couldn’t be too harsh on them since they were, after all, blood relatives whom her father cared deeply for. With this in mind, the best way for their family to live in peace and happiness was to move away from here, to a place far beyond their reach, like the thriving Capital!

While she was deep in thought, a series of frantic and disorganized hoofbeats interrupted her, Cai Wei paused, suddenly sat up straight, lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside.
