This Lady Is Trying to Kill Me Chapter 311 – Chapter 311: Two Flowers on a Stem

Chapter 311: Two Flowers on a Stem

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The gentle mountain breeze blew the green leaves on both sides of the river.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, casting silver moonlight that illuminated the river.

The wall of the inn facing the river was at the edge of the riverbank, which was no more than two feet wide. Normally, no one would set foot in this place. But at this moment, a human and a bird were sitting at the edge of the riverbank.

Luo Ning was wearing a long blue dress and a veiled hat. She was sitting on a handkerchief with her legs dangling in the air. Beside her was a small box containing dried meat, and she was feeding the bird.

The big, fluffy white bird was squatting obediently in front of her. Because it had eaten a lot of food in the carriage, it rarely opened its mouth to ask for food. It only looked at the stars in the sky and hummed a tune.

Since the bird ran over to accompany her, Luo Ning already understood that Ye Jingtang had returned and was probably in the room fighting with Third Lady.

I taught Third Lady just now, but I don't know if this cowardly woman did it.

She must have done it. If she hadn't done anything after so long, wouldn't the little thief have died of suffocation in the room?

Luo Ning let her imagination run wild and didn't dare to go back rashly. After all, if she went back, with Third Lady's temperament, she would immediately leave the little thief to her, run away, and close the door.

Luo Ning raised her hand and rubbed her forehead. She wanted to stay for a while longer, but she was afraid that Third Lady would be useless and dawdle. After thinking about it, she quietly got up, landed on the wall, and listened carefully to the subtle movements on the second floor in the distance.

In the end…

When the bird heard Third Lady crying, it tilted its head in confusion. “Chirp?”

Luo Ning immediately held its mouth and covered its eyes.

She really didn't expect Third Lady to be so brave. Her gaze was a little strange, but after thinking about it, she sat back down and felt relieved. This coward is finally brave for once.

In that case, 1 won't have to suffer tonight. Third Lady is an external martial arts Grandmaster and has a very tough body.

Wait, then, won't I have to sit here all night?!

Luo Ning's peach blossom eyes blinked. She suddenly felt that the situation was different from what she had expected. She had originally wanted Third Lady to be the warm-up and use up some of the little thief's firepower first, and then she would enjoy the sweet time after the bloody battle.

Now that she did this, didn't it seem like there was something wrong with her brain, and she had pushed her man into another woman's arms?

Luo Ning stroked the bird's feathers. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. But if she got up and ran over to cause trouble, Third Lady would probably hold a grudge against her for the rest of her life. She thought about it and endured it. She wanted to cover her ears and not listen, but she kept paying attention to that side. After thinking about it, she could only pick up the dried meat and feed it to the bird to relieve her boredom.

“Chirp?” The bird felt that Sister Little Watermelons was very dangerous, so it raised its wings slightly and pretended that it wasn't hungry.

“Eat!”

“Chirp-”

Luo Ning fed the bird two mouthfuls. Seeing that it was indeed full, she was afraid that it would burst, so she gave up. After some thought, she asked the bird to keep watch. Then she got up quietly and returned to the courtyard of the inn to listen carefully to the sounds on the second floor.

Meanwhile, one kilometer away, in the center of the town…

It was already late at night, and the entire inn was silent. The imperial guards patrolled the surroundings silently, and the accompanying palace maids had already gone to bed. But the room in the center of the second floor was still lit.

In the simple room, Dongfang Liren was sitting upright in front of the table with a piece of paper in front of her. She held a brush in her hand and calmly outlined an ink painting.

On the painting was a screen. A handsome man with an extremely hot figure supported himself against the wall with one hand and held his forehead with the other, posing in a very melancholic posture.

Dongfang Liren's painting skills were outstanding. Although her brush and ink were simple, she outlined the man's expression and temperament perfectly. It even vaguely felt like the person in the painting had just come out of the bath and was covered in a layer of water vapor.

Dongfang Liren seriously outlined his muscles and began to draw the towel wrapped around his waist. But when she recalled the scene, that ferocious thing flashed across her mind.

ii

Ptui!

ii

Dongfang Liren hurriedly closed her eyes, wanting to forget the terrifying scene. But this was the first time she had seen it in her life. The impact was too great. It was easier said than done to forget it. She was sitting here painting because she had tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

She even had the urge to draw it.

Dongfang Liren felt that she could no longer go back to the past. She forced herself to calm down and dispel her messy thoughts. She held the brush and outlined the towel again.

While she was concentrating, a sound came from outside the window.

Whoosh!

Squeak!

Dongfang Liren quickly covered the paper. She pretended to be busy with work before turning around.

The window opened, and Daoist Xuanji, dressed in snow-white clothes, silently landed in the room. Her face was red, and she was slightly drunk. After landing, she swayed twice and looked around. “Liren, didn't you get that Young Master Ye to serve you in bed?”

Dongfang Liren stood up with a noble and dignified bearing. She went forward to support the drunk Daoist Xuanji. “Master, what are you saying? He's my subordinate, not my concubine!”

“Aren't they the same? You're a prince. If you ask him to serve you, he won't dare to say no.”

After joking for a while, Daoist Xuanji felt a little tired from chasing after the Northern Liang Thief Sage and being poisoned by all kinds of poisons. She walked to the bed and sat down. “Will I disturb your good deed by sleeping here?”

Dongfang Liren guessed that Ye Jingtang was currently harming Miss Ning'er. She sat down beside Daoist Xuanji. “What good deed can you disturb? Master, with you here, I can sleep more peacefully. Master, rest early. When Ye Jingtang comes over tomorrow, you can take a look at him. His martial arts skills are very good, and he's a good person.”

Daoist Xuanji knew that Ye Jingtang's martial arts skills were extraordinary and his character was upright. But two days ago, she had hugged him and even rubbed against him. It would be too embarrassing to meet him. But in the following period of time, they would see each other frequently, so it was inevitable that they would meet. After some thought, she didn't refuse.

Outside the window, everything was silent. The candle was silently extinguished.

Behind the curtain, Ye Jingtang was lying on the pillow. After some recuperation, the qi and blood in his body were still very vigorous, but it was a little better than before. He kept looking at his chest.

After biting her red lips for a long time, Pei Xiangjun raised her eyes slightly and looked at the man beside her. “Jingtang.”

“Yes.” Ye Jingtang turned around and helped cover her with the thin blanket. “Are you thirsty? 1'11 get some water.”

Pei Xiangjun pressed Ye Jingtang's shoulder. Even though she was pretending to be calm, there was still a hint of shyness in her eyes. “I'm not thirsty. I just feel that it wasn't difficult to help you recuperate. Why did Ning'er look like she was going to the execution ground?”

I

It takes more than once to recuperate my body.”

“Then continue. Why did you stop?”

Pei Xiangjun was about to continue the recuperation when she thought of something. The vixen is still outside!

Today, she had only planned to be the warm-up and then hand over the recuperation to the vixen. The vixen had washed herself clean and was ready, but she had directly eaten Jingtang.

After such a long time, even if the vixen didn't hear anything, she should have guessed what she had done.

Although the vixen had been eating alone for so long, and it was natural for her to occupy Jingtang alone for a day, she had to be able to eat him.

Moreover, being considerate of and taking care of the vixen was the attitude a big sister should have.

Thinking of this, Pei Xiangjun blinked and turned to look out of the curtain. “Ning'er?”

Outside the window on the second floor, Luo Ning was standing under the eaves with her arms crossed, looking at the bright moonlight. She had been listening to the sounds on the second floor, and her cold eyes had a rare hint of resentment.

In the past, Third Lady had often been asked to stand guard outside and been forced to listen to the sounds in the rooms. She didn't think much of it before. Now that she had listened once outside and experienced it for herself, she realized that this feeling was really aggrieving. She wanted to hold the little thief down and beat him up.

Just as she was letting her imagination run wild, she heard Third Lady's call from the second floor. Luo Ning's eyes moved as she turned around and walked into the inn. She walked down the corridor on the second floor and said calmly, “Why are you calling me instead of continuing to help him recuperate?”

Pei Xiangjun felt that she couldn't take it anymore, so she turned to look at Jingtang behind her and whispered, “Go accompany Ning'er and come back later so that she won't complain that you neglected her tomorrow.”

Seeing the two women being considerate of each other, Ye Jingtang shook his head and smiled. He got up, put on his robe, and opened the door.

Creak-

Outside the door, Luo Ning had a rather cold aura. When she saw Ye Jingtang come out, she looked away. “Just accompany her. I'm tired. I'll go back to my room and rest for a while.”

Ye Jingtang stepped forward and held Luo Ning's wrist. “Just rest here.”

At first, Luo Ning didn't understand the meaning. When she found Ye Jingtang pulling her into Third Lady's room, her face suddenly turned red. “Little thief, what do you want to do?!”

Pei Xiangjun was lying under a thin blanket. When she saw the vixen enter, she hurriedly wrapped herself tightly with the thin blanket and turned over twice, rolling to the innermost part. “It's fine here. It saves Jingtang the trouble of running back and forth. You can help him recuperate. I won't watch.”

Luo Ning was a little shy. She wanted to return to her room with her head lowered. But when she saw that Ye Jingtang's breathing was hot, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked very uncomfortable from holding it in, she thought about it and decided not to. She only reminded, “Third Lady and 1 will take turns helping you recuperate. You have to be grateful and not act recklessly. If you mess around…”

“I know.”

Luo Ning sat down on the edge of the bed and glanced at Third Lady behind her. It wasn't appropriate for her to take the initiative, so she tilted her head to look at the floor and pretended to be forced, waiting for the thief to pounce on her.

But before Ye Jingtang could move, Pei Xiangjun, who was facing the wall, turned her face around and frowned. “Jingtang isn't feeling well. Why are you just sitting there? Quickly help him recuperate.”

Ye Jingtang felt a little dizzy from his surging qi and blood. “I'll do it.”

ii

Lie still.” Pei Xiangjun turned around and poked Luo Ning's lower back. “You're not a little girl. Why are you being shy? 1 won't look at you.”

Luo Ning gritted her teeth, turned around to pat Pei Xiangjun's hand lightly, and said coldly, “You've never suffered from it!”

Then she raised her hands and pressed Ye Jingtang down. “If you dare to move, I'll return to the South Firmament Mountains tomorrow and let Third Lady treat you from now on.”

Pei Xiangjun blinked. “You said it yourself. Don't stay behind and not leave after this.”

When Luo Ning heard these heartless words, she raised her hand and wanted to slap Pei Xiangjun's waist twice.

Ye Jingtang leaned against the head of the bed and hurriedly stopped the quarrel. “Alright, 1 promise not to move. Why don't I cover my eyes?”

After giving Third Lady a fierce look, Luo Ning didn't make Ye Jingtang go to that extent. She kicked off her shoes embroidered with bamboo leaves, sat sideways beside him, bit her lower lip, and untied her sash belt.

The canopy bed in the inn wasn't big. It was just enough for two people, but it was a little cramped for three.

Leaning on the bed, Ye Jingtang placed his right hand on Third Lady's fair back.

He had promised not to move, but his hands were a little disobedient. He had to use a lot of willpower to restrain himself.

Luo Ning leaned on Ye Jingtang's shoulder and wanted to get closer, but she found that Third Lady opposite her was watching quietly. She paused and frowned. “How about you do it?”

“I won't watch, okay? Be quick.”

“Martial arts practice requires warming up. Don't speak.” Luo Ning couldn't be bothered to explain the importance of warming up to Third Lady and busied herself.

Sizzle-

Pei Xiangjun faced the wall obediently, but she couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart. She waited until she heard an ambiguous sound behind her before she quietly turned around to look. The pure and charming vixen was biting her lower lip lightly, pretending to be forced and suffering humiliation?

Pei Xiangjun was baffled and asked, “Ning'er, why do you keep acting like that? It looks like Jingtang is using force on you.”

“You!” Luo Ning hurriedly lay on Ye Jingtang's body and covered herself with a thin blanket. Feeling angry and embarrassed, she immediately started to move.

Pei Xiangjun looked away. Her face flushed red, and she wanted to beat Luo Ning up.

Ye Jingtang leaned against the head of the bed obediently. Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, he smiled and said, “Stop fighting. My qi is about to go out of control. Please take good care of me.”

The sounds of fighting kept coming from behind the curtain, and before they knew it, it was dawn..
