Chapter 315: Person Small, Ghost Big (Part 2)

Long Xi Yue said, "Maybe it's because of poor ventilation."

Hu Xiaotian looked at Qiqi's serious expression and silently cursed, "Little girl, just let you pretend. Obviously we're here together to kill Wei Huailin and his lackeys, two lives, a bit of corpse smell is normal." He laughed, "The princess is right, the ventilation here is indeed bad; normally even if I farted here, it wouldn't clear up for ten days or half a month."

Qiqi said, "No, it's a foul smell." She sniffed again, her clear eyes fixed on Hu Xiaotian.

Hu Xiaotian said, "Little Princess, your nose is really sharp. To be honest, I often don't have time to go to the latrine, so I frequently relieve myself here."

Long Xi Yue never expected him to say such nonsense; her pretty face flushed red. Qiqi, however, giggled: "Hu Xiaotian, you really have a thick skin."

Long Xi Yue said, "Let's just go."

Hu Xiaotian said, "There are several barrels of fine grape wine here; would you two princesses like to take some to try?"

Long Xi Yue immediately shook her head, seeming to truly believe Hu Xiaotian's claim that he relieved himself here.

Qiqi said, "I never drink alcohol."

Hu Xiaotian said, "That's right; you're young, still a minor, so it's better not to drink."

Qiqi raised her dainty fist at him and said, "Believe it or not, I'll give you a beating."

"Believe me, Little Princess, if you really want to hit me, I can only endure it, but I have one request: please don't hit my face."

Qiqi gave a cold laugh, feigned a punch, Hu Xiaotian hastily covered his face. Unexpectedly, Qiqi lifted her foot and kicked hard at his groin, shouting, "Groin Kick!"

Hu Xiaotian truly didn't expect Qiqi to strike as soon as she said she would, and given his status he dared not fight back; he had braced himself for two punches, but didn't expect her to kick. Poor Hu Xiaotian had not yet mastered the Art of Raising Yin and Contracting Yang, and the kick landed squarely. He winced, his face changing color instantly, then fell with a thud, clutching his groin and curling up on the ground.

Qiqi sighed, "Not fun, boring." She turned and left.

Seeing Hu Xiaotian's state, Long Xi Yue hurried forward to support his shoulder, asking anxiously, "How do you feel? Do you need help?"

Hu Xiaotian was sweating profusely from the pain, gritting his teeth, unable to speak.

Seeing him like that, Long Xi Yue panicked, "Wait, I'll go get someone..."

Hu Xiaotian, however, grabbed her wrist and slowly shook his head.

Long Xi Yue gazed at Hu Xiaotian, confusion flickering in her beautiful eyes.

Qiqi walked to the stairs, stopped, turned her face to look at Hu Xiaotian still curled on the ground in agony, her beautiful eyes full of suspicion, and she stepped toward him, whispering, "You look like you're in a lot of pain."

Hu Xiaotian forced a faint smile, struggled to rise, and whispered softly, "It's fine..." his voice hoarse from pain.

Qiqi said, "No way, you're clearly a eunuch; Eunuch Quan said the Groin Kick doesn't work on eunuchs, so how could you be affected? Unless..." She grabbed Hu Xiaotian's collar, a strange smile curling her lips: "Could you be a fake eunuch!"

Hu Xiaotian was terrified out of his wits; if this were exposed, he feared not even multiple heads would be enough to spare.

Long Xi Yue's beautiful eyes filled with shock; she instinctively covered her cherry lips in astonishment.

Hu Xiaotian said, "Princess... don't joke with me..."

Qiqi said, "Joke with you? Hehe, then take off your pants so I can check."

Hu Xiaotian silently cursed, "Can't you show a little restraint, you little girl? Even if I'm a eunuch, you should still observe some decorum."

Long Xi Yue couldn't take it any longer, blushing as she scolded, "Qiqi, stop fooling around."

Qiqi said, "Then I'll have someone else check." She rose, saying, "I'll go get people now..." Before she finished, Hu Xiaotian sprang from the ground, hooked his right hand around her throat, thinking that if she spread this, his life would surely be forfeit; left with no other recourse, he had to resort to a desperate move—aside from killing her to silence her, he had no other escape.

Hu Xiaotian's move amounted to a tacit admission that he was a fake eunuch.

Qiqi's neck was gripped by Hu Xiaotian; this time he showed no mercy, squeezing until she could barely breathe.

Seeing the scene, Long Xi Yue panicked, not knowing what to do; spotting a wine jar on a nearby wooden barrel, she lifted it without thinking and smashed it against Hu Xiaotian's head. He was dazed, thudding unconscious to the ground with a "dong!"

Only then did Qiqi manage to break free from his clutches, clutching her throat; five bruised finger marks marred her delicate neck, showing how vicious he had been, clearly intending to kill her to silence her. Gazing at the unconscious Hu Xiaotian on the ground, she felt both anger and hatred, drew a cold-glinting dagger from her waist, but before she could reach him, Long Xi Yue stepped in front of her: "Qiqi, what are you trying to do?"

Qiqi angrily said, "Auntie, I want to kill this villain; he dared to disrespect me."

Long Xi Yue said, "Qiqi, don't mess around." At that moment she saw blood flowing from the back of Hu Xiaotian's head, and she exclaimed in shock, "He's bleeding, a lot of blood!"

Qiqi, hearing her, also lowered her gaze and indeed saw blood flowing from the back of Hu Xiaotian's head; Long Xi Yue, in her haste to save, grabbed a wine jar and smashed it down, Hu Xiaotian unprepared, was struck until his head split and blood poured, collapsing unconscious.

Qiqi gritted her teeth, "He deserves it; such a villain doesn't deserve to live." Her tone, however, had softened considerably from before.

Long Xi Yue felt Hu Xiaotian's pulse and found it still beating. Qiqi also came over, reaching to touch his neck. Long Xi Yue misunderstood her intent, thinking she wanted revenge on Hu Xiaotian, and hurriedly said, "Qiqi, you must not hurt him further."

Qiqi pouted, "It wasn't me who beat him into this state."

Hearing this, Long Xi Yue felt ever more guilty; she had only been rushing to save Qiqi, striking without restraint, seeing Hu Xiaotian's condition, and recalling how he had once risked his life to save her from danger, her sorrow grew, her nose tingled, her eyes reddened; fearing Qiqi would laugh, she quickly turned away, lifted her head, and held back her tears.

Seeing Long Xi Yue's movement, Qiqi guessed she was very upset and whispered, "Auntie, don't worry, this bastard's life is tough; he won't die."

Long Xi Yue stood, walked two steps toward the stairs, suppressing her sorrow, "I'll go find someone to save him." In fact, as she stepped into the darkness, she quietly wiped away two clear tears from her cheeks.

Just then Qiqi let out a shriek; Long Xi Yue hurriedly turned back, and in that moment Qiqi had actually pulled down Hu Xiaotian's pants to his knees, leaving only a thin undergarment, which barely concealed the bulging mass in his crotch.

Long Xi Yue gasped in embarrassment, covering her eyes with both hands. Although Qiqi had just said she wanted to examine Hu Xiaotian, she had only been threatening verbally; Long Xi Yue never imagined she'd actually dare to do it—this girl truly had no shame.

Qiqi stared at the bulge in Hu Xiaotian's crotch, dumbfounded; she bit her lip, then suddenly reached out and pinched it. Soon she witnessed the change: her pinch caused the growing part to push his underwear up into a tent.

Qiqi jumped up in fright, fled to Long Xi Yue's side, clung to her, and pointed at Hu Xiaotian: "Auntie... he... he... is there a snake hidden down there?"

Long Xi Yue's cheeks flushed; Qiqi, being young, surely knows nothing about male-female matters, and as an unmarried woman of the Yunying lineage, she herself knows little, but still more than Qiqi; however, her background and upbringing made her understand that such things must never be spoken of, otherwise they would have no face to show in public.

Long Xi Yue bit her lip and whispered, "Don't mess around! First help him put his clothes back on." Qiqi shook her head vigorously, as if startled, refusing to go near him no matter what. Since childhood she had feared snakes most, convinced that Hu Xiaotian hid a snake in his pants, and the urge to flee welled up in her.

Long Xi Yue took a deep breath to dispel her shyness, steeled herself, and approached Hu Xiaotian. Seeing his state, she felt mortified, wishing she could sink into a crack in the ground; Qiqi had not guessed wrong—he was indeed a fake eunuch.

Long Xi Yue overcame her maidenly reserve, narrowed her eyes, and lifted Hu Xiaotian's pants up for him; midway, she didn't expect him to suddenly open his eyes, which frightened her so much her face paled, she froze there, at a loss what to do, even forgetting her embarrassment.

In the wine cellar, the three stared blankly at each other; after a full tea's worth of silence, they simultaneously shouted as if waking from a dream. Hu Xiaotian, terrified, scrambled to get up, but in his panic his pants slipped off entirely, he stumbled, lost balance, and fell straight onto Long Xi Yue.

Seeing Hu Xiaotian's pants down and him pressing her aunt beneath him, Qiqi could no longer tolerate it; forgetting her fear, she brandished her dagger and lunged forward, gritting her teeth: "Lecher, how dare you humiliate my aunt!"

"Pfft!" The dagger plunged into Hu Xiaotian's right shoulder; the girl struck hard, and he winced, his body lurching forward.

"Ah!" Long Xi Yue keenly felt the strong pressure between her legs, her heart fluttering with shame and anxiety, while her mind went blank.

Preserving his life took priority; Hu Xiaotian no longer bothered with rank or decorum, nor with imperial dignity; he backhandedly seized Qiqi's hair, yanked hard, lifting her whole body, Qiqi screamed in pain, then felt him fling her away with all his strength, her body slamming into a wine barrel, her bones aching as if they would shatter.
