Chapter 20 Part 1 Schemes Beneath the Surface
"...That's how it is. The county magistrate was submissive after we taught him a lesson, but lately he's been shamelessly cozying up to Qin again. That's really bad for us. We're busy here, so Shaoyu, you need to handle it," Xiang Liang said to Shaoyu.
"Leave it to me."
...
"So Tianming, want to come out with big brother and get some air? You've been penned up here so long, must be bored."
Tianming's eyes lit up. "Who's going? When do we leave?"
"It's no big deal just a few of us. I was planning to take Little Yu out, haven't had time to have fun with her yet. You got spare time lately?"
"Nothing going on for me, I'll go with you. Let me see if Yue'er wants to come I'll get back to you."
"No problem, I'll wait."
...
"So what do you think, mother-in-law?"
"I don't think much. Are you bored being with me?"
"Mother-in-law, why would you think that? I love being with you."
"Mother's jealous. We can all go," Yue'er chimed in to Yanfei.
Thinking of her daughter and son-in-law going out and leaving her behind, Yanfei really did feel put out. But to say she wanted to tag along was too embarrassing it felt like admitting she couldn't be apart from Tianming.
"Kids' business, I don't tag along. And the trip will take a while, Mohists are looking for you about something go talk to them first."
Tianming grimaced; he'd been dreading meeting them.
"Mother-in-law, do you know what it's about?"
"It's Mohist business why would they tell me?"
...
Before Tianming could ask, the Mohists got word.
Xue Nu's eyes flashed. "We can't let Tianming go. If he leaves, it'll be hard to negotiate when he gets back."
"But what reason do we have to stop him?"
"I'll find him I can't just let him go."
"A-Xue..." But her mind was set.
When Xue Nu found Tianming, he was already sulking; the thought of talking to Gao Jianli and Xue Nu terrified him last time Xue Nu threatened to break his legs.
Catching him off-guard, Xue Nu silently grabbed Tianming's ear and twisted hard.
"Owwww who?!" Seeing it was Xue Nu, Tianming immediately wilted. "S-sis Xue... why you..."
"You ran last time keep hiding, go on... Last time you ran fast, huh..." The more she talked, the harder she twisted, nearly tearing his ear off.
"Owww, mean woman, let go, my ear's coming off!"
Xue Nu froze, hearing him call her that...
...
"Sis Xue, let me go, I was wrong!"
"You know what for?"
"Good sister, I won't do it again..."
"You heartless brat after all we've done for you, how'd you repay us?" She dragged Tianming aside, who kept yelping in pain.
...
"Brat, I'm chopping your hand off today; see how you make trouble again!" She found a stick and smacked his butt.
"Stop, I was wrong!" He tried jumping away, but held by the ear, he couldn't get far.
"No dodging!" Seeing his agility, Xue Nu got angrier and hit harder.
"Hit me but don't let me dodge?" He complained inside unable to escape, so he turned and hugged her.
Caught off-guard, Xue Nu found herself pinned.
"Let go."
"Nope."
She twisted his ear harder.
"You're asking for it." Tianming bit down on Xue Nu's full breast.
"You dare " Shocked, Xue Nu tried pushing him off, but he held on tight.
"Let go..." Though still clothed, Tianming's mouth found her nipple, hot breath on her chest.
"Won't let go."
She tried trapping him with her legs, but pinched her breast, making her lose strength.
Entwined, from afar they looked like lovers.
Unaware, Tianming savored Xue Nu's curves and scent, sucking her soft nipple he got hard.
Xue Nu's legs squeezed Tianming's waist his stiff cock pressed between her thighs.
He thrust, Xue Nu felt the hot rod pressed below she knew exactly what it was.
"You bastard..." Xue Nu was mortified.
"You brat..." Now Xue Nu was furious.
Enraged, her skills kicked in a chill swept her body; Tianming's lower half soon went limp.
For a moment he hugged not a woman, but a block of ice.
Icy energy flowed into him, but Tianming's inner force effortlessly countered.
Feeling Tianming's vast inner power, Xue Nu was surprised she couldn't match it.
But a huge reserve does not equal fighting ability Tianming's force mostly protected him instinctively, not offensively.
Really, besides Ink-Brow Sword and Butcher-Knife, Tianming had no attack skills.
Panicked, Tianming feared Xue Nu would freeze him solid and dropped her, trying to run.
But so close to her, how could she let him escape?
A pale finger poked his body he froze instantly.
Xue Nu fixed her mussed clothes, pinched his cheek hard, finally relaxing.
Pitiful Tianming, immobilized, had to let Xue Nu have her way.
After a few minutes, Xue Nu calmed.
"Tianming, Rong-jie and I are your elders you can't target us."
Seeing Tianming unfazed, Xue Nu was helpless.
He was just a kid logic wouldn't work.
"If you try it again, I'll cut off your hand..." She glared, threatening.
"You won't; I don't believe you."
"You think I won't?"
"You'd have to expel me from the Mohists first, right?"
"You raped Rong-jie; getting kicked out is only fair."
Tianming shrugged. "Then kick me out Yue'er's fine now; you all dislike me anyway."
"You dislike the Mohists that much?" Xue Nu frowned.
"No, you dislike me; what's the point?"
"We don't dislike you you're our Juzi! We said, once you're grown, we'll listen to you."
"Easy to say, but you never include me, don't care about me at all."
"We agreed: when you grow up..."
Tianming interrupted, annoyed. "Grow up, grow up how grown do I have to be? Shaoyu's my age, and he decided for himself... Nobody calls him immature..."
At Shaoyu's name, Xue Nu scoffed, voice colder.
"So you follow him, help him against us. Did you forget who you are? You think that's maturity? You'd get sold and help count the money!"
"Shaoyu treats me better than you all."
She laughed in exasperation. "He treats you better? Would he be so good otherwise? If not for our alliance, his deeds would earn him death a hundred times."
"Why do you hate him?" Tianming asked.
"None of your business. That playboy just leads you to women, gives you a little favor and buys your loyalty."
"You don't get it, we're brothers."
"Some brother! You're partners in crime, both scoundrels."
...
"You think I can't deal with you?" Xue Nu jeered.
She took out a ceramic bottle, poured out a foul-smelling, greenish-black pill.
"What are you doing?" Tianming was alarmed.
"This is Seven-Day Rot-Heart Pill Rong-jie made it for you. If you behaved, I'd help plead for you. Now, don't blame me stubborn brat. You raped Rong-jie, she wants revenge. I'll take care of your good brother too. Rong-jie's a master doctor; her potions are unbeatable. Blame yourself for disobedience."
"No, no I don't want it "
Xue Nu forced him to swallow.
...
Tianming instinctively wanted Yanfei's help, but running, realized he couldn't let her know. He should find Shaoyu first.
"Seven-Day Rot-Heart Pill? Surely not fatal, maybe just to scare us."
"That's why I came to ask you!"
"Let's find a doctor."
...
"Tianming is perfectly healthy."
"Young master, I see no problem."
"Young master, no trace of poisoning in either of you."
"Never heard of this poison."
They saw every doctor nearby.
"Xiaoyaozi is a Daoist master, expert in medicine let's ask him."
"He's the head of the humanity sect, very busy, already returned to Daoist matters. Why see him?" Gai Nie asked.
"I just wanted to learn Daoist arts..."
Gai Nie let it go.
"For Daoist arts, your mother-in-law is a master. Why go far when she's right here?"
"I'll ask her."
"What if she finds out I'm dead."
"Wait, I'll get a master healer."
"Better than Rong-jie?"
"She's the Mirror Lake Immortal; only farm clan specialists rank higher. Trust me, our Xiang family will hire the best."
Three days they behaved perfectly.
"If there's no poison, then either it's genius-level, or they're bluffing. I can't detect anything."
...
"She's bluffing no way even Rong-jie could poison a farm clan person so well." They relished their luck.
"Let's go play with Little Yu; I'm craving that lewd girl."
"Why can't you two get hard?" Stone Orchid tried everything; both men's shafts stayed limp.
"We really are poisoned?"
"She's that powerful?"
"Explain yourselves!"
