You Were Born a Nobleman, Chapter 49: I Must Have Owed You a Lot of Money in My Past Life!
On the other side of the bamboo grove, Tang Zisu was not close to Horse Abdomen. No matter how handsome Horse Abdomen's face was, it could not dispel her fear. Horse Abdomen noticed her unease and seemed to let out a soft sigh. "You were destined to come here. Since you are here, just settle down. If someone brought you here, there will be someone to take you back. Don't think too much about it. Shu Que Wu Pan."
"Are you trying to comfort me? But aren't you unable to go back as well?"
"I am the same wherever I go."
"That's different; you are a man-eater." As soon as she said it, Tang Zisu felt a bit nervous, fearing she might anger Horse Abdomen.
"I won't harm innocent people; those few were greedy. Beasts are not the most terrifying; what is truly frightening is the human heart."
"Horse Abdomen..."
"This is for you." Horse Abdomen took out a jade ring from somewhere. The ring was as white as congealed fat, yet it seemed to have yellow patterns flowing like water, clearly very valuable!
"What is this?" Tang Zisu, captivated by greed, completely forgot the lesson her mother taught her about not accepting things from strangers when she was little.
"A gift for our meeting. I have locked my essence inside it; if you encounter danger, just break it, and I will come to rescue you."
She definitely didn't want that; it must be worth a lot of money! She could sell it to buy a house and marry!
Horse Abdomen looked at the drooling Silly Goose and revealed a helpless smile before transforming into a white light that entered the jade ring.
Tang Zisu watched as the yellow and black patterns inside the ring became more pronounced. She began to tap on the ring with her hand: "You can't be serious; you really went in? Hey, come out quickly; you'll suffocate in there!"
A flat voice seemed to echo through the mountains and waters: "My name is Vine Lily; remember it."
It wasn't because the jade ring was expensive that Tang Zisu wanted to smash it; was it really necessary to be so terrifying? A big monster squatting inside—wouldn't wearing it crush her?
Perhaps Tang Zisu and Horse Abdomen had been chatting for too long, as Kong Xuan grew somewhat impatient and started playing with bamboo.
Lang Ye felt great despite losing a few tufts of wolf fur, thinking to himself, "That's nothing!"
Before Tang Zisu could come around from behind the bamboo, the last few poles were taken down by Kong Xuan. Tang Zisu stomped her foot in frustration at the sight of the fallen bamboo, saying, “Kong Xuan, if you’re so good at demolishing things, why don’t you join a demolition team?”
Kong Xuan: ……
Lang Ye asked, “What about Horse Abdomen? I haven't had enough fun with it yet.”
“It’s right here,” Tang Zisu raised the jade ring in her hand. “Ahei, no wait, I should call you Black Wolf King. You’ve tricked me and Softy so badly!”
The mention of Softy completely disarmed Lang Ye. He finally understood the seriousness of the situation and asked Kong Xuan, “What should we do? Kill to silence?”
Tang Zisu nervously clenched her fists, “Do you dare?”
Kong Xuan was still focused on Tang Zisu's ring, wondering what this Horse Abdomen meant and why it wanted to protect her. Was this even scientific?
Seeing that Kong Xuan wasn’t responding, Wolf Head nudged him, “She said we wouldn’t dare. Should we cut off her head or her legs first, or gut her?”
Tang Zisu tightly gripped her collar, her small face pale.
Kong Xuan kicked Lang Ye, “Forget-Me-Not, go find it right now. I’ll take her to Ximing Slope and wait for you.”
“What about my poison? I’m injured here.”
“Lang Ye, is Taishang Laojun your relative?”
Lang Ye was taken aback; that was quite a leap. “What do you mean by that, Kong Xuan? Who knows that stingy old man?”
“Stingy? Would a stingy person give you a gourd that can cure all poisons?”
“Where did you hear that? It’s just a gourd with a few pills inside.” As soon as Lang Ye finished speaking, he realized what was happening. “You tricked me, Kong Xuan! Do you also know that I was chased into the Heavenly River by his crane while trying to steal the elixir?”
“Idiot, you really make me ashamed; you've embarrassed the demon realm. Enough talk; since you've eaten the elixir, that little poison is nothing. Hurry up!”
"Bird, I really owe you a lot from my past life, making you boss me around like this. I'm leaving."
Watching Lang Ye and Kong Xuan bicker, Tang Zisu attempted to sneak away.
"Don't run around, or you'll get eaten by a monster."
"Who’s running? I'm just... I really need to pee."
"Is that so? Go over there, I won't look."
Kong Xuan pointed to the fallen bamboo.
"You? Forget it, I'm not peeing anymore. Kong Xuan, what do you want to do with me?"
"I'll make you forget all of this."
"You dare? If I forget, you'll continue to disguise yourself as a woman and bully me?" Thinking about the nights spent sharing a bed with Kong Xuan, even with a man's heart, Tang Zisu found it hard to hold back.
Suddenly, Kong Xuan stepped forward and lifted Tang Zisu into the air.
