Chapter 650: [Mount Lu's True Face] (Part I)

Zi Juan says: "But I always feel somewhat uneasy in my heart."

Hu Xiaotian says: "Don't worry, I'll stay by the Princess's side."

Zi Juan nodded, lay down, Hu Xiaotian waited a moment, hearing her breathing gradually become even, he secretly delighted, it seems the Tranquil Pill sent by Liu Yucheng has taken effect, he deliberately lowered his voice: "Princess!"

Zi Juan lay still on the bed with no response, Hu Xiaotian moved closer to her ear and loudly said: "Princess!"

Zi Juan still had no response, Hu Xiaotian still dared not be careless, he pushed her with his hand, Zi Juan slept very soundly and was not awakened by him.

Hu Xiaotian's mouth corner revealed a sly smile, his gaze fell on Zi Juan's chest, then he rubbed his hands together a few times, then carefully began to undo Zi Juan's clothing, Long Xi Yue had once told him that Zi Juan's two sides were different, he happened to take this opportunity to verify.

Actually since the Yongjiang shipwreck, Hu Xiaotian has doubted Zi Juan's identity, but from appearance there was no flaw, so Hu Xiaotian could only look for other verification methods. Using the Tranquil Pill to make Zi Juan fall asleep was also an unavoidable measure. As his fingers just opened Zi Juan's collar, he unexpectedly saw Zi Juan suddenly open her eyes, coldly staring at him and saying: "What do you want to do?"

Hu Xiaotian stood there stunned, he thought Zi Juan was already asleep, but he didn't expect she had been pretending all along. Before Hu Xiaotian could react, Zi Juan opened her mouth, puff! spat out a pill, hitting Hu Xiaotian's right eye squarely, although expelled from the lips, the force was strong, smashing his eye socket until it felt like it would burst, he groaned in pain, covering his eyes and stumbling backward repeatedly.

Zi Juan did not intend to let him go. She lifted the covers, jumped off the bed, and struck Hu Xiaotian in the chest with a palm. Hu Xiaotian's right eye streamed tears nonstop, in danger he twisted his body, using Dog-Dodging Eighteen Steps to dodge Zi Juan's advance, the two chased each other in the narrow space.

Although outside they could also hear the commotion from the room, because Hu Xiaotian had said beforehand that no one could enter without his order, plus Zhou Mo guarded the door, presenting a formidable one-man defense. Although everyone was curious about what happened inside, no one dared to go in and see.

Hu Xiaotian had taken only a few steps when he already knew in his heart that Zi Juan was definitely a master, not only sharp-minded but also highly skilled in martial arts, even Dog-Dodging Eighteen Steps could not completely shake her off. Hu Xiaotian had a sudden inspiration, repeating his old trick, he deliberately slowed his steps. Zi Juan, unaware it was a ploy, chased after him. She extended a palm and struck Hu Xiaotian's back, Hu Xiaotian feigned loss of balance, staggered and fell forward, his head bang! hit the front pillar, then he fell straight to the ground, playing dead! Now when else to play dead if not now.

Zi Juan also did not expect her palm to have such great power. Thinking Hu Xiaotian had fainted from hitting the pillar, but Hu Xiaotian was always cunning, she dared not let her guard down, she lifted her leg and kicked Hu Xiaotian's body, seeing Hu Xiaotian motionless, his forehead also bruised, his complexion also changed, she felt something was wrong and whispered: "Lecher! Get up for me!"

Hu Xiaotian's heart skipped a beat, Zi Juan knows I'm a eunuch. How could she call me a lecher? Unscientific!

Zi Juan reached out to feel Hu Xiaotian's pulse, finding his pulse absent, not to mention pulse, even his breathing had stopped, she instantly panicked, leaned her ear against his chest to listen, confirming there was no heartbeat, she trembled: "Hu Xiaotian… you… you don't scare me…"

Hu Xiaotian seized this rare opportunity, suddenly stretched out his arms and embraced Zi Juan tightly. He turned over and pressed her beneath him. Soft jade and warm fragrance pressed beneath him, to say it's really comfortable would be true.

Zi Juan was flustered, although she had mentally prepared for this guy's cunning, she didn't expect he actually had such superb feigned-death skill, momentarily off guard she was embraced by him, by the time she reacted, she was already pressed beneath Hu Xiaotian, a hard object pressed against her left rib, Hu Xiaotian gloomily laughed: "As long as you dare to move, the Violent Rain Pear Blossom Needles in my hand will all shoot into your chest."

Zi Juan's beautiful eyes fiercely stared at Hu Xiaotian, her left hand also pressed against Hu Xiaotian's right side rib. Softly she said: "Let's see who acts first, you or me." Her left index finger wore a bright steel ring, which concealed a tiny poison needle.

Hu Xiaotian fearlessly in danger, smiling narrowly: "Then let's try!"

Zi Juan bit her lip: "Lecher, why do you want to harm me?"

Hu Xiaotian says: "Who exactly are you?"

Zi Juan says: "What do you think?"

Hu Xiaotian carefully stared at her eyes, always feeling her gaze somewhat familiar, yet for a moment he couldn't recall exactly who, in his mind flashed like a revolving lantern the women he knew, a person's appearance can be disguised but figure cannot, Hu Xiaotian quickly ruled out several in his mind, then suddenly a lightbulb went off.

Zi Juan says: "If you release me now it's still not too late, otherwise I will now shout for help loudly, letting everyone know your scheming."

Hu Xiaotian confidently says: "Then go ahead and shout, let's see if we die together."

Zi Juan being firmly pressed down by him, neither dared to move rashly, four eyes locked, gazes filled with hatred as if they wanted to devour each other.

Hu Xiaotian says: "Extend your hands and lay them flat on the ground."

"Why should it be me? You get lost first!"

Hu Xiaotian laughs: "Now I know who you are!"

Zi Juan's expression clearly showed a moment of surprise, then she guessed Hu Xiaotian was feigning, she coldly laughed: "Then go ahead and say it, let's hear."

Hu Xiaotian says: "You are not Zi Juan, willingly impersonating Princess Anping, marrying Xue Daoming is certainly not to seek some prince consort, nor is it for greed of wealth and honor, your purpose is to harm Xue Daoming, frame Princess Anping, provoke conflict between Da Yong and Dakang."

Zi Juan's beautiful eyes flashed a hint of surprise, she snorted: "Self-conceited!"

Hu Xiaotian says: "You are Xi Yan!"

Zi Juan's delicate body visibly trembled slightly, then she smiled: "Who is Xi Yan?"

Hu Xiaotian says: "You cannot deceive me, although appearance can be changed, figure and posture cannot, any woman I have embraced I can definitely recognize."

Zi Juan says: "How many women have you embraced?"

Hu Xiaotian with a look of deep thought: "Well, let's not say, truly I can't count, really too many..." Before he finished speaking, Zi Juan's left hand rose and fiercely stabbed toward Hu Xiaotian's right rib, Hu Xiaotian only felt his side pierced by a needle, pain made him inhale cold air, Zi Juan shoved him aside and her body rolled away to the side.

Hu Xiaotian's hand held what? Just a sheathless dagger, not the Violent Rain Pear Blossom Needles. Hu Xiaotian covered his side, trembling voice: "Vile woman… you… you actually dared to really stab me!"

Zi Juan's face showed a seductive smile: "Toward men one should be ruthless, you also have a chance to shoot me, where are your Violent Rain Pear Blossom Needles? Why not shoot?"

Hu Xiaotian's face turned green, why not shoot? Cherishing fragrance and valuing jade, now he can only swallow his own bitter brew, he nodded: "You're ruthless, those two pills, it seems you have taken one?"

Zi Juan says: "Scare me? Speaking of poisoning, your methods can't compare to even one of mine."

Hu Xiaotian says: "Although I fall short of you in everything, I am skilled at wicked deeds, believe it or not I will fight you to mutual destruction."

Zi Juan let out a faint sigh: "Not believe! Not at all! You have exhausted all schemes and calculations, painstakingly using the Golden Cicada Shell Escape to rescue Long Xi Yue, these days have you been dreaming of sharing a bed with that beautiful princess, painstakingly achieving your wish, how could you bear to die?"

Hu Xiaotian gazing at Zi Juan before him, however he looks, he feels her every move is that of Xi Yan, yet this face shows no trace of Xi Yan's features, can a disguise technique really be this superb? Hu Xiaotian says: "Even a cornered rabbit will bite, let alone a person?"

Zi Juan says: "Are you even human? You can disregard your own sworn oaths, what face do you have to call yourself a person?"

Hu Xiaotian thinks: "Old master, what did I say? Old master, how great is my grudge against you?"

Zi Juan step by step walks toward Hu Xiaotian says: "You better obey, otherwise you definitely won't survive seven days."

Hu Xiaotian laughs: "Try to scare me!"

Zi Juan raised her left index finger, letting Hu Xiaotian see that black as ink steel needle, the tip still stained with Hu Xiaotian's blood, she softly said: "Now the spot you were stabbed is sesame-seed sized, each day it will grow a bit, after seven days you will vomit blood and die."

Hu Xiaotian says: "Die then die, do you think I fear death? Before I die I will surely expose your secret."

Zi Juan says: "Who would believe?"

Hu Xiaotian says: "Are your two breasts one big one small?"

Zi Juan was stunned by his wild question, then blushed furiously, gritted her teeth: "Lecher, you're talking nonsense."

Hu Xiaotian laughed loudly: "That means they're normal size, so you definitely aren't Zi Juan, I said it earlier, when I first saw you in Tianbo City, your temperament was completely different from before, I really thought you had changed your nature, it turns out you've always been you, a demoness remains a demoness, everything you told me was just to confuse me."

Zi Juan says: "What about you? You spout sweet words, yet which sentence is true!" This line amounts to her completely giving herself away.

Hu Xiaotian can now be certain that the Zi Juan before him is definitely Xi Yan, this demoness unknown when she mixed into his entourage, perhaps during the stay in Cangmu City, or perhaps from Tianbo City she had already mixed in, only he hadn't noticed.

After Zi Juan finished speaking, she turned around, then turned back again, at that moment her appearance had undergone an astonishing change, behold the girl before him had eyebrows and eyes like a painting, exquisite and unmatched, clearly the demoness Xi Yan of the Wuxian Sect.
