Chapter 431: Because I Like You
Xu Ziling pulled a faint smile directed at General Xu. “Milord, I understand what you say and I won’t kill an innocent person. I just feel that this shadow guard’s martial art skills are incredible. If we could use him for our own, then I wouldn’t have to be afraid of evil ruffians when I leave the manor!”
General Xu smiled affectionately. “Ling’er, as long as you understand. Then, I shall take my leave. The army has been rather busy lately, so I’ll see you all when I return in a couple of days.”
Xu Ziling nodded and smiled. “Mhm. I respectfully see you off, Milord.”
General Xu nodded in satisfaction, then spun around and strode away with several servants at-hand.
Xu Ziling’s gaze turned ferocious as a thought occurred to her. She turned around walked up to Zuiying, then raised her hand and violently slapped him across the face. “You dare incite my second brother to drug me?! I will get revenge for this with your body!”
“Grrr… hrrra…” Having been gagged, all Zuiying could do was shake his head to express that he had not done it.
Xu Ziling let out a cold grunt, then turned around and strode into the sedan chair.
Zuiying glowered at the sedan chair in front of him with burning rage, then he was taken away to the General’s manor.
After arriving at the manor, Zuiying was tied up to the pillar in Xu Ziling’s room again.
Xu Ziling used an iron whip to beat Zuiying non-stop, releasing the anger in her heart.
With cold sweat dripping down his forehead, Zuiying gritted his teeth.
Did this Eldest Young Lady want to beat him to death? He told her that he didn’t incite her second brother, so why didn’t she believe him?
Xu Ziling only threw down the whip after she saw the red whip marks all over Zuiying’s body.
“This is your punishment for running away this time. If you dare think about running away next time, I’ll definitely break your legs. Mark my words,” she said coldly.
Zuiying panted heavily whilst he endured the intense pain all over his body. He hung his head and didn’t utter a word, but the bulging blue veins in his hands were telling of his fury.
“Zitian! Zidi! Bring that person in!” Yelled Xu Ziling coldly outside.
“Yes, Young Miss.” Soon enough, Zitian and Zidi escorted a person inside. To his surprise, it was Zuifeng.
Zuiying’s eyes instantly widened and disbelief was painted all over his face. “H-how… how did you find my older brother?”
Zuifeng coughed violently a few times from the shock, then cried, “Little Ying.”
Xu Ziling smirked chillingly. “Take him away!”
Zitian and Zidi took Zuifeng away again. “Little Ying, Little Ying…” cried Zuifeng non-stop.
Zuiying’s teeth were about to be ground to nothing, as he scowled viciously at Xu Ziling like a wolf. “What the hell do you want me to do for you to let me and my brother go?”
Xu Ziling stared directly at Zuiying. Then, all of a sudden, she raised her head and kissed Zuiying’s lips. She wrapped bother her arms around Zuiying’s neck and whispered flirtatiously. “Kiss me and I’ll let you go.”
Zuiying creased his sharp eyebrows in contemplation, then opened his mouth and kissed Xu Ziling.
Xu Ziling sensed how inexperienced Zuiying was and kissed him deeper. It felt like a surge of electricity from her lips and spread all around her entire body. Her whole body felt like it was floating in the water. The anger in Xu Ziling’s heart diminished and was replaced with satisfaction. Why did she want to kiss him uncontrollably whenever she saw him? She’d never have this kind of thoughts even with His Majesty.
Zuiying’s entire body tensed up. This Eldest Young Lady was truly shameless! How could she kiss him whenever she wanted? Didn’t she understand ‘self-respect’?”
After a long while, Xu Ziling finally let go of Zuiying. The moisture on her lips glistened even more and a hint of faint redness surfaced her cheeks. Her captivating little face looks even more charming.
Zuiying seemed to have not melted from Xu Ziling’s passion in the slightest, as he coldly asked, “I’ve kissed you now. You can let go of my brother and me, right?”
