Chapter 390: Teasing

Chapter 390: Teasing

She thought for a moment, then suddenly had an idea. She stood up and said with a resolute expression, "You're right, this princess does know who painted that turtle on your chest."

Luo Feizhou stared at her with piercing eyes, his fingers unconsciously moving to the sword at his waist, waiting for Ji Yuntang to continue.

"It was the Blood Rain Sect."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only was Luo Feizhou puzzled, even the people in the adjacent private room were shocked!

Hua Feixue spat out a mouthful of tea.

She had only come to eat some barbecue, and now she heard people in the next room discussing a glowing turtle.

She had been listening with great interest, but who'd have thought the conversation would suddenly involve the Blood Rain Sect?

Since when did the Blood Rain Sect deal in turtles? Why didn't she know about it?

Just as she was thinking this, Luo Feizhou's voice came through again.

"I've never had any quarrel with the Blood Rain Sect. How could they possibly send assassins to draw a turtle on my chest?"

Ji Yuntang rolled her eyes, looking at Luo Feizhou like he was an idiot.

"What kind of organization is the Blood Rain Sect? They're one of the top assassin organizations in the martial world!"

"What kind of business do they do? It's a kill-for-hire business—whoever pays the most is the boss!"

"Who cares if you've got a beef with them or not?"

Worried that Luo Feizhou wouldn't believe her, Ji Yuntang gave him another example.

"Take Princess Jiu, for example. She's a well-bred young lady who never even leaves the palace. Does she have any quarrel with the Blood Rain Sect?"

"No, right? Yet she was still ambushed by over a hundred of their assassins on the road."

"So this organization only cares about money—they've got no humanity at all. They treat human lives like a joke. Prince Qi should know that better than I do."

Hua Feixue: "..."

Hua Feixue: "!!!"

Whoever pays calls the shots?

Only cares about money and has no conscience?

Since when did she have so many dads?

Sure, she loved money, but who knew the Blood Rain Sect's home had been robbed, leaving her not a single copper coin?

If she had no humanity, then that Little Bastard who robbed the Blood Rain Sect's treasury was the one who'd truly lost all conscience and decency!

Hua Feixue's hands were shaking with rage. Qiu Zhu noticed and came over to ask, "Miss Hua, what's wrong? Why are your hands shaking so badly?"

"Nothing, I just burned my hand while eating barbecue," Hua Feixue said between gritted teeth.

She turned to look at Qiu Zhu, who looked completely normal.

Hua Feixue knew Qiu Zhu hadn't heard a single word of the conversation next door.

That made sense. The soundproofing in these private rooms was actually pretty good. She could hear them clearly because her internal energy was strong and her hearing was extraordinary. She couldn't help but hear them.

Hua Feixue clenched her fists and decided to keep listening.

Although Luo Feizhou thought what Ji Yuntang said made sense, he still found it riddled with flaws.

His eyes darkened as he sneered, "Since the Blood Rain Sect is an assassin organization, why didn't they kill me? Instead, they painted a turtle on my chest. What would they gain from that?"

Ji Yuntang shrugged. "No benefit at all. You're a prince. Killing you would provoke a conflict between the Blood Rain Sect and the imperial court, leading to a full-scale war. This princess thinks anyone with half a brain wouldn't do that."

"But drawing a turtle is different. A turtle bastard is worse than a dog—it means you're worse than a dog. They just wanted to humiliate you, that's all."

"JI! YUN! TANG!" At these words, Luo Feizhou instantly flew into a rage. He drew his sword from its sheath with a sharp ring.

"How dare you say I'm worse than a dog? You think I won't kill you?!"

Luo Feizhou pointed his sword at Ji Yuntang, but she simply smiled at him. She reached out a finger and slowly pushed the sword aside.

"Prince Qi, this princess was just explaining what the turtle on your chest means. Why get so worked up?"

"Furthermore, this turtle is baring its teeth, and on its shell are written the words 'I am a scumbag.' It's probably because of a broken heart."

"You should think carefully about whether you've offended any woman, or broken any girl's heart. This princess thinks she probably turned love into hate and hired assassins to take revenge on you."

Luo Feizhou looked at her coldly, pressing the sword back against her neck.

"What woman? The only person I can think of is you!"

He hadn't forgotten that his original plan in inviting Ji Yuntang was to sleep with her!

Therefore, in that private room at Baixiang Tower, he'd specifically had someone light aphrodisiac incense.

But who'd have thought he'd be the one who got hurt?

What happened in between, he had no idea—he couldn't remember any of it.

Luo Feizhou felt that given Ji Yuntang's personality, once she found out what he'd planned, she would definitely take revenge on him.

He didn't believe those assassins from the Blood Rain Sect would be so bored as to strip his clothes and draw a glowing turtle on his chest.

There was no denying that Luo Feizhou had hit the nail on the head!

But the person he was dealing with was Ji Yuntang, which meant he'd never hear the truth.

With the sword at her neck, Ji Yuntang remained completely calm. She said, "Other assassin organizations might not do this, but when it comes to the Blood Rain Sect's assassins, it makes perfect sense!"

"Prince Qi may not know this, but the leader of the Blood Rain Sect, Blood Flower, is not only bloodthirsty and cruel, killing without mercy, but also completely unhinged."

"She enjoys tormenting people for the fun of it. Drawing turtle bastards on people is nothing. This princess has also heard that she had her men embroider flowers on beggars' butts!"

"Tsk tsk, now that's seriously messed up!"

Luo Feizhou: "!!!"

Hua Feixue: "!!!"

She was bloodthirsty and cruel? A merciless killer? And a total psycho?

Not only that, she had her men embroider flowers on beggars' butts? And draw turtles on Prince Qi's chest?

How come she herself knew nothing about any of this?

Hua Feixue thought back—the assassination of Princess Jiu of the Dongchen Kingdom was indeed the Blood Rain Sect's doing. Someone had paid fifty thousand taels of silver to have the princess killed.

In the end, all hundred assassins sent were wiped out, and she'd been depressed about it for a long time.

If she'd known, she never would've taken this job—what a massive loss!

Hua Feixue hadn't taken over the Blood Rain Sect willingly; in her eyes, it was a total dumpster fire.

She asked herself honestly, though she wasn't a good person, her thoughts were upright, and she'd never done anything as perverse as painting a turtle on someone's chest or stitching flowers on their butt.

Which damn woman was bad-mouthing her in the next room?

This woman had trashed the reputation she'd built as the Blood Rain Sect's leader, leaving it in ruins.

Hua Feixue was on the verge of tears, while over there, Luo Feizhou was still arguing with Ji Yuntang.

Ji Yuntang insisted it was the Blood Rain Sect's doing, and although Luo Feizhou was unwilling to accept it, he didn't have the courage to lead his men to attack the sect.

After all, with the precedent of Luo Jingshen going up the mountain to suppress them and returning with a broken leg, he wasn't so foolish as to seek trouble for himself.

Seeing he couldn't get anything out of her, Luo Feizhou narrowed his eyes and changed the subject.
