Chapter 77: with translation of chapter title

Chen Wuji was very decisive, without any hesitation.

A woman disguised as a man, bathing in these deep mountains and old forests, only because he inadvertently bumped into her, her eyes full of hatred, wanting to kill his whole family—what hesitation does he have?

Chen Wuji now looks at her attitude to decide whether to bury her forever here.

Deep mountains, a woman disguised as a man, opening her mouth to kill—these conditions combined, this woman is undoubtedly someone with some skills from the greenwood, or simply a bandit.

Absolutely cannot be a decent family woman.

One thing Cao Cao is most criticized for is killing the family of his sworn brother Lü Boche due to a misunderstanding; but from the perspective of a fugitive, his nerves are constantly taut, and the sound of sharpening knives and conversation in a hidden corner would certainly prevent him from remaining calm.

Nothing more than running or killing.

Chen Wuji now also faces this same choice.

Letting this woman go, he worries she will take revenge.

But if he really killed her, he finds it hard to be decisive.

Although his thoughts have largely leaned toward Cao Cao's approach, for a modern person in peaceful times, letting him strike first to eliminate future trouble is truly difficult.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Chen Wuji asked forcefully.

The aquatic products in this pond probably can't be eaten for a while.

Chen Wuji felt a bit regretful.

On the woman's painful face, a faint cold smile appeared: "Kill me, if you have the ability, kill me; absolutely do not give me even a breath's chance, otherwise I will not only kill your family, but also exterminate your nine clans."

Chen Wuji grabbed the woman's neck in one hand: "Don't rush, I will fulfill your wish! Just not now!"

The woman closed her eyes tightly, suddenly feeling some regret.

If I had known, I wouldn't have said something so harsh...

Who would have thought a little hunter would have such a ruthless heart.

Although she didn't want to admit defeat verbally, she actually didn't want to die at all.

The woman suddenly opened her eyes, glaring fiercely at Chen Wuji, trying to free her hand to strike first and hack this evil hunter.

But after trying, she reluctantly gave up.

She, the tigress feared by everyone in the capital, was actually... by a hunter in the mountains...

The woman, thinking of this, suddenly froze.

Hunter beating a tiger...

This damn thing actually seems somewhat reasonable.

Really seeing ghosts, must have not checked the almanac before going out.

"Qin Zan Hong!"

After forcing herself to calm down again and again, the woman coldly announced her name.

"\"Zan? The 'zan' in slaughter? \" Chen Wuji asked.

"Yes, you illiterate!"

"\"Zan Hong, truly fitting; your name dooms you to this tribulation! Now we'll see whether you just lose some blood or lose your life as well on Shenxian Ling. \" Chen Wuji said.

This woman even picked a name full of killing intent.

Who knows what her father was thinking back then.

Qin Zan Hong heard this, and for a long time didn't come to her senses.

Her name was changed by herself.

To prove she was not inferior to men, and also to give herself more killing spirit.

But she never imagined she would encounter this in her life.

The falling red, it seems can indeed be called Zan Hong.

Damn it, really unlucky!

"\"What are you doing here? \" Chen Wuji asked again.

"\"Investigate a case! \"

Qin Zan Hong gave up.

She couldn't break free from this guy with strength like a bear, and not wanting to die, she could only choose compromise.

Chen Wuji's heart gave a thump.

Done for!

The guess was wrong; this woman actually has a court background.

Qin Zan Hong noticed Chen Wuji's expression, then mockingly sneered: "\"Afraid? If you're afraid, just honestly let me go; what happened before was indeed my fault, as long as you release me now, I'll let bygones be bygones. \"

"\"I don't believe it! \" Chen Wuji interrupted in a low voice.

"\"What you say, woman, is hardly true. Just because I accidentally bumped into you, you shouted you'd kill my family; now we're both in this state, yet you say you'll let me go? You're trying to fool ghosts! \"

"\"Even if you have a court background, so what? Laborers barefoot fearing you who wear shoes? There are many fierce beasts on this mountain; I could kill you and throw you to those beasts—what do you expect your colleagues to find? The blame definitely wouldn't fall on this little hunter like me, after all, what little hunter would dare kill someone as important as you? \"

Qin Zan Hong's expression froze.

This damn bastard actually won't take the bait!

Are hunters nowadays this skilled?

"\"What case are you investigating? \"

"\"It involves secrets; you cannot know this. \" Qin Zan Hong huffed again, \"I come from the Imperial City Department; you may not have heard of that place, but ordinary cases don't end up in our hands. \"

Chen Wuji indeed didn't know what the Imperial City Department of Da Yu does.

But he knew the Imperial City Department of the Song era.

Its functions are roughly the same as the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

I originally thought this woman would be a Jianghu person, but I didn't expect to stir up such a big stink.

Now it's truly somewhat troublesome!

"Originally I still wanted to see your attitude; you're so beautiful, if I could avoid killing, I wouldn't take your life. Now it seems it probably won't work; with such a big government office, I, a tiny hunter, really can't afford to provoke it." Chen Wuji said deliberately.

He couldn't think of a better solution, so he could only pass the buck to Qin Zhanhong, letting her raise it.

"Wait!" Qin Zhanhong shouted loudly.

"We already have the substance of a husband and wife; I won't cause you trouble; I can swear an oath to heaven."

"Then let's go down the mountain to get the certificate—no, to register the marriage!" Chen Wuji said.

Qin Zhanhong: ……

"Is swearing an oath not enough?" she said speechlessly.
