Chapter 221 - Devil!
Chapter 221: Devil!
Yan Bieqin couldn’t help but get startled. What was going on here? Immediately, Yan Bieqin could no longer understand the opponent before him.
Previously, Yan Bieqin did not place Yang Dingtian in his eyes at all.
Although the game of Go, Chinese Chess and many other things were very stunning, Yan Bieqin felt that Shen Lang didn’t invent them. Rather, he had coincidentally learned of it before stealing it for himself. He felt that with Shen Lang’s wisdom, it was impossible for him to invent such a profound game.
However, he did not manage to expose him successfully. In any case, Qin Mengli would only be interested in it for two to three days.
Yan Bieqin felt that he would definitely be the victor in the end!
But now, he could no longer see through what Yang Dingtian was thinking.
However, Yan Bieqin did not reveal it. Rather, he said, “If so, I shall bid my farewell!”
After which, he walked towards Qin Mengli’s inner chamber without displaying any signs of complacency on his face!
**************************************
After entering the inner chamber, he saw the incomparably gorgeous Qin Mengli being shone under the warm light. Immediately, Yan Bieqin’s gaze turned fiery!
Qin Mengli waved her hand and spoke, “Yan Bieqin, Shen Lang had forfeited. Lucky for you. I hope that you won’t let me down!”
Although Yan Bieqin was extremely aroused, he still wished to know what was going on.
Immediately, Yan Bieqin smiled, “Madam, may I ask, what did Shen Lang do wrong that caused him to be forfeited by Madam?”
Qin Mengli smiled coldly, “What’s wrong? Do you want to plead leniency for him?
Yan Bieqin replied, “Nope. I had always dreamed of being together with Madam. Therefore, I’m very excited right now. However, I still wish to know the answer. I’m very much in love with Madam. That’s why I don’t wish to have an unfair advantage in the contest!”
Immediately, Qin Mengli’s complexion turned ugly as she spoke with a cold smile, “Shen Lang said that he is a young bird with a pure heart. Therefore, he didn’t wish to bring our relationship one step closer.”
When Qin Mengli spoke, it sounded extremely angry because this caused her to be extremely humiliated.
Yan Bieqin rolled his eyes and spoke, “Madam, this is unreasonable!”
Qin Mengli spoke, “What do you mean?”
Yan Bieqin continued, “Firstly, I believe there are extremely affectionate men, but there will never be a man with a pure heart! Secondly, Madam’s beauty is capable of causing the downfall of a city. Any normal man in this world would be fatally attracted to you without any exception!”
This two-sentence had caused Qin Mengli to be somewhat bursting in joy! She had always believed that she possessed a kind of supreme charisma.
Yan Bieqin continued, “Therefore, this Shen Lang is retreating in order to advance. He hopes to leave behind a unique and deep impression in Madam’s heart, and has another plan!”
Qin Mengli’s complexion turned cold, “If it’s this case, he’s just looking for death. How do I prove this?”
Yan Bieqin spoke, “Very simple. If he had other plans, he would certainly insist on sticking at Madam’s side. Therefore, as long as you give an order to chase him away, and he desires to stay behind no matter what, this means that he has an ulterior motive.”
Qin Mengli spoke, “The reason he’s staying behind is that he wishes to obtain my protection. He had offended the White Cloud City Young Lord. Once he leaves, he would be hunted.”Read more chapter on NovelFull
Yan Bieqin replied, “That’s very simple. Although you chased him away, you’re still willing to protect him. Send a letter to Young Lord Ye and tell him not to touch a single hair of Shen Lang’s. After which, we just need to see Shen Lang’s reaction to this!”
Qin Mengli frowned, “White Cloud City and my Qin City’s relationship isn’t as intimate as you think. Young Lord Ye might not necessarily listen to my words!”
“So what? You don’t really have to protect Shen Lang.” Yan Bieqin continued, “It’s just a way to declare your stand. Afterward, you just need to see how Shen Lang reacts!”
Qin Mengli commented, “What if Shen Lang really leaves?”
Yan Bieqin inquired, “Don’t tell me you care about his life or death?”
Qin Mengli was startled, “That’s right. What does his life or death have to do with me?”
Subsequently, Qin Mengli commented, “Then you might as well head out and call him back in again. This game is getting more and more interesting…”
Qin Mengli’s eyes revealed a demon-like radiance!
*******************************
Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but get startled when Yan Bieqin informed him to enter Qin Mengli’s inner chamber again. Subsequently, he felt a sense of danger from Yan Bieqin’s eyes. If he weren’t wrong, he was walking down a tightrope next, and if he were to fall from it, it would mean death!
Yang Dingtian glanced at Yan Bieqin profoundly. Originally, the battle of wits with Qin Mengli was just a form of risk and was not for him to play with fire. However, because of Yan Bieqin’s existence, it seemed like he was playing with fire. If he were to lose, he might lose his life.
Perhaps, he wouldn’t have played with it from the start if he knew that it would be dangerous and would take time to plan his strategy.
But now, the arrow was already on the bow, and it had to be released! Either the winner takes it all or dies!
He inhaled a deep breath of air inwardly. Yang Dingtian entered Qin Mengli’s inner chamber once again!
*******************************
“Shen Lang, since you had no intention to become my temporary companion, there’s no need for you to stay by my side. From this point onwards, you’re to leave here.” Qin Mengli commented.
Yang Dingtian replied, “But… but Young Lord Ye is hunting for my life outside. I will inevitably die once I head out!”
“Are you that afraid of death?” Qin Mengli smiled coldly.
“I’m not afraid of death, but I am afraid to die without any meaning.” Yang Dingtian replied, “If I’m to discover the secret behind this world, I’m willing to die the next second after.”
Qin Mengli continued, “You can be at ease. I will send a high-level Martial Supreme to accompany you out. Furthermore, I will speak with the White Cloud City Young Lord and get him not to make a move against you! You know as well. As the third person-in-charge of Qin City, if I’m to issue a diplomatic note, White Cloud City Young Lord wouldn’t dare to oppose it, even if our relationship couldn’t be counted as very good!”
Yang Dingtian became silent. He knew this was a form of probing.
If he continued to stay here, it would be viewed as having an ulterior motive, and that he was scheming against Qin Mengli. If so, it might be a dead-end for him.
But if he were to really leave, all his efforts would go down the drain. Furthermore, would Qin Mengli really protect him? It was really hard to say. Even he wouldn’t be bothered by a passerby’s death!
Therefore, the path given for Yang Dingtian to take was like a dead end.
Heading right would mean death, and heading left would mean death as well!
“What’s wrong, can’t bear to leave here?” Qin Mengli inquired coldly.
Yang Dingtian smiled bitterly before bowing, “Goodbye, Madam!”
Subsequently, he turned around and left immediately.
Just like this, Yang Dingtian continued walking. Although it wasn’t resolute, it didn’t possess any form of hesitation.
Meanwhile, Qin Mengli stared at Yang Dingtian’s rearview continuously, all the way until Yang Dingtian had gone to a faraway location and could no longer be seen. All of a sudden, she opened her mouth, “Stop!”
Yang Dingtian halted.
“Shen Lang, why are you smiling bitterly for?” Qin Mengli inquired.
Yang Dingtian commented, “I know that Madam has no intention to protect me at all. Therefore, once I leave, it would practically be a dead-end to me.”
Qin Mengli countered, “What? You feel that I wouldn’t be able to protect you?”
Yang Dingtian continued, “Not unable. Rather, you would have to pay a certain price for it. At the very least, it’s not something that can be achieved with a diplomatic note by speech. After all, White Cloud City’s Young Lord Ye is not someone rational.”
Qin Mengli remained silent for a moment before speaking, “If you want me to put you fully under my protection, then you just need to promise me one thing.”
“Please speak.” Yang Dingtian replied, “Unless it’s something I couldn’t achieve.”
Qin Mengli continued, “Be at ease, I wouldn’t go to the extent of being so contemptible and beg a male. I only want you to speak the truth.”
Yang Dingtian replied, “What truth?”
Qin Mengli replied, “You declined the chance to bring our relationship a step even closer. Is it really because of a pure heart?”
Yang Dingtian remained silent.
Qin Mengli yelled coldly, “Reply me!”
Yang Dingtian replied, “If I’m to speak the truth, will Madam guarantee not to kill me?”
Qin Mengli smiled coldly, “I guarantee that I will not kill you. Furthermore, I will even place you under my protection.”
Yang Dingtian answered, “In this world, there might perhaps be an extremely pure-hearted woman, but it’s very rare for men. Perhaps, men might be very affectionate but would rarely differentiate between love and lust. This is especially so for men that are at the prime of their life. Therefore, even if a lot of men didn’t fall in love with another person, it was still very easy for them to have sex with another person.”
Qin Mengli smiled coldly, “Correct. This is the truth. Let me ask you then, would normal men be able to reject women like me?”
“Nope. On the contrary, they will be fatally attracted to you.” Yang Dingtian answered.
Qin Mengli replied coldly, “Are you a normal man then?”
“I am.” Yang Dingtian answered.
Qin Mengli replied, “It’s weird then. Just now, you had rejected me with those righteous words. What’s your reason for doing so? Don’t tell me you hold other motives?”
Yang Dingtian remained silent for a moment and replied, “Madam, if I’m to speak the truth, you will be very angry. But can you guarantee not to kill me?”
Qin Mengli replied, “I guarantee!”
Yang Dingtian shook his head, “The majority of the time, women would never keep their guarantees. After I tell you, you will definitely kill me.”
Qin Mengli’s gaze turned cold, “That’s right. Women would never keep their guarantees. However, you have no choice but to say it out. Because if you don’t do so, I will kill you straight away!”
Yang Dingtian looked at Qin Mengli and spoke word by word, “Because you are filthy!”
The moment the words sounded out, it was like a long whip that was filled with barb being thrashed at Qin Mengli’s body ruthlessly.
At the start, it was numb before becoming sharp piercing and bloody pain!
Qin Mengli knew that she was a woman with loose morals and knew how bad her reputation was!
However, no one dared to say it in front of her. Every man that met her worshipped her.
Therefore, she acted as if she had no idea about it.
Now, Yang Dingtian had exposed this point straight to her, causing all those wounds from the past to be opened again!
The instantaneous acute pain couldn’t be described in words.
“I find you filthy!”
This sentence was too ruthless, malicious and genuine!
All of a sudden, Qin Mengli couldn’t breathe. Subsequently, she was filled with infinite rage, hatred, and sorrow!
She would still remain extremely pure if it weren’t because of the incident that was dozen of years ago.
It was that devil that destroyed her! Destroyed her body, soul, and life!
She had grown numb to this type of walking corpse life as if that wound was no longer around.
But at this moment, Yang Dingtian’s words had opened all her wounds bloodily and had made them even bigger as blood poured out from it!
It was after a good while did Qin Mengli gradually recover from this kind of inner acute pain. What came subsequently after was endless anger and hatred. The gaze by which she looked at Yang Dingtian was also filled with coldness and killing intent!
