Chapter 974: The Alliance Master’s Teachings (19)
Ming Shu realized that Steamed Bun started to become suspicious of her.
Ming Shu questioned Steamed Bun’s intelligence. She had been acting weird for such a long time before he got suspicious.
However, Steamed Bun didn’t manage to confirm his suspicion.
Besides the changes in her personality, there was no other difference.
Ming Shu would not change the daily habits of the Host. She was too lazy to change them.
She had no special habits so it was easier to just follow the habits of this body. It would be more comfortable for this body too.
Rong Li noticed Steamed Bun’s change in demeanor.
But, he was happy that Steamed Bun distanced himself from his wife.
No mortals should come close to his wife!
No one came to persuade Ming Shu to come back. They didn’t recognize Ming Shu as the alliance master anyway.
However, her sudden departure sparked many debates among the crowd.
The news spread instantly.
The alliance master of the pugilist world left them at such a crucial time. One could imagine how bad her reputation was.
“Alliance Master, are we really leaving?” Rong Li asked softly.
“If not, are we going to stay and be extras?”
Rong Li looked toward the mountain. He didn’t answer her.
“You want to go up?” Ming Shu grabbed his chin and forced him to look at her. “If you want to go up, I can send you up. However, I will not collect your corpse for you.”
Rong Li immediately shook his head. “I… I am just worried that someone will find you for trouble.”
Ming Shu retracted her hand. She lowered her head. “I don’t lack trouble. Having one more or one less doesn’t matter to me.” I don’t care.
Rong Li opened his mouth but no words came out.
When no one noticed them, he quickly gave Ming Shu a kiss on the cheek. Then he faced the horse carriage and appeared embarra.s.sed.
Ming Shu rubbed his head. “Get in the carriage.”
“Oh…”
Rong Li climbed onto the horse carriage on all fours.
…
Ming Shu didn’t go far. She didn’t partic.i.p.ate in the fight, but she never said that she would not watch it.
Most importantly, her snacks coupon was still there. How could she leave?
The battle between the Demonic Sect and the various sects and clans happened in one afternoon.
It started with a huge fire.
Due to the wind, the fire spread through the entire mountain. The mountain was enveloped by flames. Trees fell and the sound of crackling filled the air.
Thereafter, sounds of fighting ensued.
As night swept in, the fire didn’t die down. The sky was stained by the fire and turned bright red. Black smoke and ashes fell from above.
Ming Shu placed her hand on her chin and looked at the light from afar. Her fingers knocked against the window sill occasionally.
Steamed Bun was right.
Something was amiss.
Although she didn’t know what was wrong, it was better to not mix herself with these kinds of issues.
There were no snacks to be acquired anyway.
Once they finish fighting, I shall go and find my snacks coupon.
Perfect!
Ming Shu felt something heavy on her shoulder.
She looked sideways. Rong Li was lying on her shoulder. He moved his body due to discomfort and inched his way to her chest.
Ming Shu leaned back. Rong Li’s body fell. She wanted to kick him away but in the end, she caught him and let him rest in her arms.
Ming Shu adjusted his position for him. Rong Li’s clothes fell open and revealed a ta.s.sel on his waist.
…
The fire on the mountain caused the defenses of the Demonic Sect to weaken, but the people were still unable to capture the headquarters.
The next day, rain fell.
After the rain, everyone realized that the number of disciples from the Demonic Sect decreased drastically. It was not because they managed to catch or kill them. The numbers just dropped suddenly.
They went up the mountain to check. The people from the Demonic Sect were gone.
They searched the entire Demonic Sect thoroughly and finally found a hidden pa.s.sageway.
However, by the time they found the pa.s.sageway, the people from the Demonic Sect had already fled.
Since the people from the Demonic Sect had ran away, they could only ask their disciples to hurry up and search for them.
During this battle, Lord Zhuo and Jiang Ling spent a lot of effort and managed to gain a good reputation among the sects and clans.
“Young lord, thank you for what you did just now.” Jiang Ling and the young lord were in a deserted part of the forest.
“It is my honor to be able to protect you.”
Jiang Ling lowered her head shyly. “How is your injury? Are you all right?”
The young lord touched his elbow. “It is nothing. It is just a small injury.”
“Let me… let me take a look at it. You didn’t properly treat your injury. It will be bad if it gets inflamed.”
The young lord said, “I will have to trouble you then.”
“You got injured because of me. I should take care of you.”
Jiang Ling asked the young lord to sit down. She took off his clothes and bandaged the wound for him again.
They were really close to each other. It was a good chance to have a more intimate interaction. The young lord grabbed the opportunity and hugged Jiang Ling’s waist. He pulled her closer to him.
Jiang Ling pretended to struggle.
The two of them soon immersed themselves in a kiss.
“Hey, are you not angry that she made you a cuckold?”
Lord Zhuo raised his head instantly.
A young girl was leaning against the tree beside him. She had a gentle smile on her face and was looking down at him.
When did she appear there?
He didn’t notice her entrance at all.
“If you don’t go out now, they will undress themselves soon.” Ming Shu raised her hand and placed them above her eyes as she looked into the distance.
“Qing Luo!”
Lord Zhuo gritted his teeth. However, his lowered his voice when he called Ming Shu. He didn’t want anyone to hear her.
“Huh?” Ming Shu put down her hand. “You’re really not angry? Amazing. If my man did this to me, I would chop him up and feed him to the dogs.”
The cuckold Lord Zhuo: “…”
He noticed the relationship between Jiang Ling and the young lord before this. When he saw this scene, he was angry. But…
The moment he remembered Jiang Ling’s pitiful eyes looking at him, he couldn’t bear to scold her.
He didn’t know what he would face if he went out.
Ming Shu jumped down from the tree. The leaves rustled.
The two people were totally immersed in what they were doing so they didn’t notice the sound. The clothes on them were almost all gone.
“Since a man can have concubines, it is okay for a woman to have an imperial harem too. However, I still admire you.” Ming Shu walked closer to Lord Zhuo. She was only two steps away from him. “Are people who practice sword skills all like you?”
Lord Zhuo frowned. He understood what the first sentence meant but he was confused as to what she was trying to say at the end.
“Qing Luo, what are you doing!”
Lord Zhuo spoke in a low voice.
Ming Shu was walking toward Jiang Ling.
“I am going to find them.”
“No!” Lord Zhuo blocked Ming Shu’s path.
“Woah…” Ming Shu smiled exaggeratedly. “Did you enter the devil realm when you practiced your sword skills?”
Ming Shu suddenly reached out her hand. Lord Zhuo instinctively wanted to block. However, Ming Shu was not intending to attack him. She grabbed Lord Zhuo and threw him over.
The two people rolling on the floor got a shock when Lord Zhuo suddenly flew at them.
Jiang Ling stood up in a flurry. She grabbed her clothes to cover her body.
“Brother Zhuo… we… we… it is not what it looks like…” Jiang Ling’s face was still blushing from the adrenaline rush just now. She tried to explain herself hurriedly so her speech was incoherent.
“Little cutie, how can you forget about your lovely Brother Zhuo?” Ming Shu walked out of the bushes. “He is so lonely.”
“Qing Luo!”
Jiang Ling’s voice was shrill. She narrowed her eyes. Why… why is she here?
