Chapter 1141: I Really Like You
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Yeming narrowed his eyes, in the darkness his gaze was just like a wild beast.
Jun Xiyan, Jun Xiling and Zhu Qing had been rescued by someone!
“Master, why did they claim that we were the ones who rescued them?” Fan Men was perplexed and it showed on his face.
A string of footsteps was heard and the royal guards ran over with President Lei Ze leading them at the front.
Lei Ze looked at Lu Yeming. “Capture the West Duke!”
The royal guards wanted to charge forward, but Lu Yeming shot a baleful glare in their direction that spelled absolute danger. The guards felt their scalps tingling and they halted immediately, s.h.i.+vering at his glare and not daring to take a single step out.
“Useless morons!” Lei Ze cursed at them.
The corners of Lu Yeming’s lips slowly kicked up. “President Lei, why are you doing this?”
“Humph, West Duke, how dare you even question me? I’ve treated you as my ally all along but I didn’t expect you to stab me in the back. Someone infiltrated the underground prison and rescued them. Those people were well-trained, they definitely were elite forces and only West Duke’s men have the capability to pull off this entire movement!”
Lu Yeming raised his brows. A well-trained team of elite forces, quick and accurate just like phantoms of the night, only the… Wuling Iron Steed Troops were capable of doing such a feat.
But hadn’t the Wuling Iron Steed Troop been wrecked alongside Jun Chulin at the west borders?
How could they even appear today?
Lu Yeming’s gaze turned dark and dangerous, he could feel his blood rus.h.i.+ng furiously inside his body. It had been a long time since he last met someone worthy of being his opponent.
The Wuling Iron Steed Troop…
He wanted to own them.
Lu Yeming knitted his brows before he finally let go of the tension, giving Lei Ze a cold-eyed stare. “Dumb as a pig.”
Lei Ze couldn’t even tell that it was a plan to sow discord between them, the man really was dumb.
Hearing the derision in the other man’s voice, Lei Ze flew into a huge rage. “West Duke, you’re simply too much! Someone–”
Fan Men threw a smoke grenade out. Boom! The grenade was activated. By the time the foggy smoke dissipated, Lu Yeming had already disappeared.
“d.a.m.n it! Seal the entire President’s Residence and check the ident.i.ty of every single person who tries to leave. The West Duke must not be able to escape from this place!”
“Understood!”
…
At night.
Lu Yeming wore a black trench coat, the cold night breeze blowing it around as he exuded a magnificent aura, even in the darkness.
“Master, we have news. There’s some action over at Willow River,” Fan Men reported.
Willow River was the other exit to the President’s residence. Once they got out of the Willow River, they would be free!
How could he allow them to just leave like that?
With steady footsteps, he stepped on the lawn and made a few turns, coming beside the Willow River. A lithe figure stood along the Willow River, wearing a black cloak, the hood over her head.
Lu Yeming stopped walking, noticing the lithe figure in front. Jun Xiqing!
Jun Xiqing stood along the river and there was a boat on the river. Jun Xiyan, Jun Xiling and Zhu Qing stood inside the boat, waving their hands at her. “Goodbye, Qingqing.”
The boat steered away as she sent her dearest ones away. Lu Yeming witnessed the scene, wanting to give chase.
“West Duke.” A melodic voice was heard. Jun Xiqing had turned around.
The hood of the black cloak made her skin appear even more fair and translucent. She looked at him, the corners of her lips raised. “You’re really quick.”
Lu Yeming lifted his eyes, looking at her and with an unfeeling voice, he said, “Jun Xiqing, I wanted to dote on you more but you really disappointed me.”
Jun Xiqing had a dark figure behind her and the dark figure came forward. “Master.”
Jun Xiqing lifted her arm, stopping the dark figure from talking. With narrowed eyes, Lu Yeming stared stonily at the two. This dark figure was the real commander of the Wuling Iron Steed Troop.
But the commander addressed Jun Xiqing as ‘Master’. How peculiar.
“Ha.” Lu Yeming forced a cynical laugh out. He pinned Jun Xiqing with an unwavering gaze. “So it turns out you’re the real owner of the Wuling Iron Steed Troop.”
Jun Xiqing smiled. “You’re right, I founded the Wuling Iron Steed Troop. This is my trusted a.s.sistant, Ah Da.”
Lu Yeming’s Adam’s apple bobbed. Great, Jun Xiqing… she really was sharp-witted and full of tactics.
He could easily make the link. The soldiers Jun Chulin brought with him weren’t the Wuling Iron Steed Troop. The real Wuling Iron Steed Troop stayed beside Jun Xiqing.
What a pity that she was a woman. But at the same time, it was lucky that she was a woman.
Lu Yeming glanced at her from head to though, as though he was going to rip off all of her clothes with the intensity of his gaze. He really was just like a beast that was eyeing its prey and couldn’t wait to just swallow it whole.
A horse was left behind beside the Willow River. Jun Xiqing got onto the horse, looking at the man from a higher point with apparent condescension. “West Duke, choose wisely. You can decide for yourself who you want to chase after, it’s either my sisters or me.”
She rode the horse and left.
Using herself as bait.
Lu Yeming looked at the boat on the river. It had already traveled far away. Without any hesitation, he got onto another horse and galloped away.
…
The hose started speeding on the lawn. It was the clubhouse of the President and was a huge area free of any obstruction.
Jun Xiqing’s legs were slender as the cold breeze billowed out her clothing. Her face was really alluring.
It has been a long time since she had ridden a horse. The last time she did was when Uncle Jun was still alive.
She closed her eyes. Uncle Jun’s last moments appeared in her mind so vividly. Just before he had pa.s.sed on, he had held her hand.
It was all the expectations Uncle Jun had for her.
Clop, clop, clop. She could hear the constant sounds of a horse from behind. Closer and closer they got until it sounded like they were hot on her heels and a muscular arm reached over, pulling her over forcefully.
Whoosh. Her delicate body leapt, landing onto the back of his horse. Straddling the horse with ease, she turned to face him, somehow landing into his embrace.
Jun Xiqing lifted her l.u.s.trous eyes to look at him, pouting her lips in spite. “West Duke, I’ve been riding horses here since young. No one could ever chase up to me, how are you so formidable?”
Lu Yeming lowered his head to look at the beauty in his arms, leaning forward to kiss her lips.
Mmph!
He kissed her so violently before she could even grit her teeth he pushed his tongue inside, capturing her breath in an instant.
His clean, masculine scent just invaded her senses. With her long lashes fluttering, she bit down on the corner of his lip forcefully.
Hiss.
It really hurt this time. Lu Yeming continued panting, letting go of her lips in the end. The corner of his lips had a wound. Such a perfect face had a wound on it, only adding on a beastly charm.
She bit him.
His entire torso felt numb.
Loosening the halter, he let the horse start running while he held her waist, kissing her again.
This kiss was full of l.u.s.t.
At 23 years old, he was still a virgin, not having tasted the wonders of a woman. Now that his desires were blazing, it made his eyes bloodshot.
He wanted to get intimate with her.
Immediately.
Right away.
Now.
Kissing her lips, his hand glided downwards to lift her skirt. Almost immediately, a hand reached over, stopping him from moving any further.
He chuckled darkly, his lips beside her ear. “You wanted me to chase after you, you never thought of letting me… f*ck you?”
“…”
Jun Xiqing lifted her hands, hugging his neck. “West Duke, the p.o.r.nographic book you gave me didn’t mention anything about having s.e.x while riding a horse.”
“Mm, then let me teach you personally.” He held her face. “Jun Xiqing, I really like you.”
Jun Xiqing smiled. “Oh? Why does West Duke like me? Is it for my face, my clean body or for my exclusive wolf taming skills? My Wuling Iron Steed Troop or my tactics?”
“Is there a difference? These factors only serve to increase your worth, it only makes me like you even more.”
He really was heartless.
“West Duke.” Jun Xiqing had her fingers on his face. “You got close to me from the start, wanting to make me fall in love with you right? Now let’s play a game, it’s a game of hunting hearts. Let’s see who falls in love with whoever first. The one who falls in love first loses.”
Lu Yeming raised the corners of his lips into a wry smile. “I’m afraid you’ll lose then.”
He would never allow himself to even think about love, let alone fall in love with someone.
Moreover, he had never loved her from the start.
Jun Xiqing looked at him, biting down on his lip. “You have to remember the words you’ve said today.”
The two were on the horse and she hugged his neck while Lu Yeming had his hands around her waist. “I fed you aphrodisiac that day in the limousine but you hadn’t suffered from the effects of it at all. Now, do you care to explain why you let out that moan?”
“…”
Jun Xiqing lowered her head, not showing an ounce of emotion. “I don’t remember.”
“Fine, let me help you recall… how you lost control over yourself that day underneath me.” His hands moved to lift her skirt again.
With two hands on his chest, Jun Xiqing’s body slipped down and she fell off the horse. The horse traveled at a great speed, if she just fell off like that, even if she didn’t lose her life, she would become a handicap from the fall.
Lu Yeming’s pupils contracted in horror, he quickly stretched out his arm to pull her back.
But Jun Xiqing landed on the lawn so perfectly, so gracefully and only threw him a playful wink. “You’re worried about me?”
Lu Yeming stopped the horse, quickly getting down from it. But Jun Xiqing started running, shouting loudly as she ran, “Hey, West Duke is here!”
Lifting his eyes to look, Lu Yeming saw a huge number of royal guards coming his way.
“West Duke is here! Quickly capture him!”
Hearing Jun Xiqing’s shouting, the royal guards all rushed over. “Hurry, he’s here! Capture him!”
Lu Yeming looked at Jun Xiqing, his face turning tense and somber. So he had fallen into a trap!
Jun Xiqing knew this place like the back of her hand since she grew up here. It was merely her plan to make him chase after her.
Unexpectedly, she had brought him right into the hands of the royal guards, forcing him to be surrounded by them all.
Jun Xiqing! She set up this entire trap, making sure to kill him.
With his lips pursed into a cold, hard line, Lu Yeming was seething in anger. It was his first time being bewitched by a woman, losing all sense of rationality.
Aiming the gun barrel at his chest, the guard fired the gun.
Bang! The bullet shot right through his chest.
Huge drops of blood streamed down from the wound, staining the ground a deep red.
