Chapter 37

Outside the stone gate stood a man and a woman; the woman was none other than Yun Tinghan, and the man must be the Third Brother she spoke of — only his legs were crippled, his body also seemed unwell, his whole person wrapped in a black great cloak, curled up in a wheelchair.

His brows and eyes held frost as he looked toward Shi Ran and Wei Yuzhu; those were a pair of amorous peach-blossom eyes, the outer corners slightly upturned, soul-stealing, yet the frozen cold at the bottom of his pupils could nail a person in place in an instant, like honey laced with poison — dazzling on the surface, a lethal blade lurking beneath.

Firelight danced in his abyss-deep pupils; clearly it should have been warmth, yet it made Shi Ran shiver involuntarily, a tremor like being licked on the throat by a ferocious beast.

Seeing Shi Ran's reaction, the corners of his thin lips hooked into a three-part mocking curve, and a tiny dimple slowly bloomed on his left cheek, like a gu parasite meticulously planted by a god.

Even seated in a wheelchair, Shi Ran felt extremely dangerous — because this man was the craziest villain in the original text, the Third Prince of the Yao clan, Yun Tingliao, a yandere antagonist brimming with malice toward female cultivators of the cultivation world!

Who knows why she came to join the fun! Shi Ran regretted it immensely now — how did she just happen to run into these two ultimate plague gods?

It was said that in his youth a female cultivator poisoned him, crippling his legs; the dignified Third Prince, originally a White Wolf clan's Yun Tingliao, could only rely on a wheelchair to move — from then on he went mad; any female cultivator who fell into his hands would be tortured until not even dregs remained.

What to do? Shi Ran silently tugged at the iron chain — weren't these little beans like her only supposed to catch minor yaos in Jiao Lake Village? Why did they run into these two ultimate plague gods? Shizun, can you hear me? Save me!

Far away in the Zhaoxin Cave, Ling Xiao snapped his eyes open — something happened! The next moment, only a wisp of clear breeze remained in the cave.

"Who are you?" Wei Yuzhu frowned at Yun Tingliao and asked, "What do you want?"

"This is my Third Brother Yun Tingliao! Our Yao clan's Third Prince! Oh, right — also the two sisters' husband for tonight!"

"Pah!" Wei Yuzhu cursed, "The men chasing this old lady could line up from Youyang Mountain to Dahan Mountain — what the hell counts your Third Brother as!"

"Shijie!" Shi Ran wished she could rush over and cover Wei Yuzhu's mouth, but she couldn't move now, completely passive; after a thought she said, "I warn you not to act recklessly — my shixiongdi will be here soon!"

"You mean those few idiots?" Yun Tinghan replied unconcernedly, "They were all killed by my Third Brother! Corpses fed to the fish!"

So they're still alive — Shi Ran and Wei Yuzhu exhaled in relief; Wei Yuzhu said, "Then kill me too! We'll die together even in death!"

"Don't rush, Shijie!" Yun Tinghan laughed, "Let my Third Brother pick properly — whoever he chooses, I'll clean her up and send her over! After tonight, if you want to die, I absolutely won't stop you!"

Wei Yuzhu glanced at Yun Tinghan, "Judging by your age you haven't married either — how come you're this excited talking about your Third Brother's bed matters, like an old procuress, utterly shameless!"

"You!" Yun Tinghan's eyes narrowed slightly, her hand lightly resting on the bell.

Bad — she never wanted to hear the sound of this Emerald Cold Bell again!

Shi Ran hurriedly said, "Little beauty, big handsome guy — actually we just arrived at Jiao Lake Village, our toes haven't even steadied, we haven't touched a single minor yao — was there some misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding?" Yun Tinghan laughed, "Is this Wei Shijie also a misunderstanding? She killed our lake-guarding fish yao!"

"Even gutted her, stewed her and drank the soup — dare I ask Wei Shijie, was the soup tasty? Delicious?"

Shi Ran closed her eyes — done for! Nothing left to talk about!

"Don't make us sound that cruel!" Wei Yuzhu didn't have the slightest awareness of a prisoner, "It was just a fish, hadn't even taken human form — how would we know it was your lake-guarding yao!"

"At death's door, yet unrepentant!" Yun Tinghan pointed at Wei Yuzhu, "Third Brother, her then — I see she's full of vigor, sure to satisfy Third Brother!"

"No!" Yun Tingliao looked at Shi Ran with deep meaning, "Her figure's not bad — clean her up and send her to my bed first!"

Shi Ran: (╥_╥) Big Bro, I didn't say a single word.

Wei Yuzhu looked at herself, then at Shi Ran, steeled her heart and shouted, "Are you siblings blind? Clearly my figure's better! What charm could a little bean sprout like her have!"

Shi Ran turned her head away — only to meet Wei Yuzhu blinking her eyes.

What are you blinking for at a time like this! Shi Ran frantically gestured with her features — aren't you afraid of his bed? Heard he beds multiple women a night!

Multiple women my ass! Wei Yuzhu also gestured with her features — his two legs are like that, the remaining one leg can still play tricks!

Shi Ran froze — she didn't know why she suddenly understood Wei Yuzhu's gestures.

Yun Tingliao understood too — Wei Yuzhu's contemptuous look, he'd be a fool not to get it! Yun Tingliao laughed coldly, "Tinghan, I've changed my mind! These two — I want both!"

And so…

Shi Ran and Wei Yuzhu were washed clean, packaged, and delivered to Yun Tingliao's couch.

Shi Ran wore a face of utter despair — what is this, what even is this! She just came to play a bit part — how did she end up as the main force in the bridal chamber!

Wei Yuzhu, on the contrary, was quite pleased with herself — she munched an apple while assessing Yun Tingliao's bedchamber.

"This bed's no good — not big enough, not round enough, a bit hard too, kneeling hurts the knees! No good — but with three people tossing about, a bit hard is fine too, barely passable!"

Shi Ran said listlessly, "I don't want a threesome at all, thanks!"

"You — you just haven't experienced the bliss of intimate union; once you do, you won't talk like this. Let me tell you, tonight…"

"Alright, you're not allowed to say more — say another word and it's no longer a trial!" Shi Ran hastily cut her off.

Wei Yuzhu didn't understand, but knew Shi Ran didn't want to listen, so she simply sat on Shi Ran's other side and asked curiously, "You say this Yun Tinghan — how come she's so willing to find wives for her brother? Does she have a secret crush on him?"

"No!" She's detoxifying her Third Brother — in the original text Yun Tingliao was hit with a poison called Drunken Spring Breeze, needing to seek female cultivators night after night to harvest yin and supplement yang, otherwise his legs and even whole body would paralyze. Shi Ran just wanted to pick out something useful to say, when Wei Yuzhu switched to another question.

"Hey! Your Shijie — isn't she beautiful? How come she hasn't shown up? Or has she already been enjoyed!"

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Shi Ran rolled her eyes — the female lead can only belong to the male lead! No one else should even think about it! "Maybe she's off finding reinforcements to save us!"

"Cough cough!"

"Just her? Plus those useless shixiong of yours?" Wei Yuzhu shook her head, "I say you'd better think about whether you go first or I go first?"

"Cough cough cough cough!"

What sound? Shi Ran and Wei Yuzhu exchanged a glance, directing their gazes at a mosquito on the table!

The mosquito coughed twice, embarrassed, "Shi Ran, it's me!"

Shizun!

"When did you get here!" Shi Ran was terrified.

The mosquito shook its wings, and after a long while said, "Just… when you two started talking about intimate union!"
