Chapter 264

"Hah! Hahahaha! Heaven has eyes—today, you've finally fallen into my hands!"

"Chai Chai Yuguan, my dear husband, I won't let you die so easily."

"I'll make you live—I'll slice your flesh off piece by piece, and make you endure every torment the world has to offer."

"You're looking forward to it, aren't you?"

"Hahahaha!"

The enemy she had hated for over a decade was right before her, helpless as fish on a chopping block—Bai Jing, overwhelmed with excitement, became incoherent, almost deranged.

The Happy King trembled all over.

They had once been husband and wife—he knew full well this madwoman would say it and do it.

In an instant, an indescribable terror gripped his heart, making him wish he were dead already.

Just as he was pondering how to handle 3.7, he felt his body grow light—he was being carried off by Bai Jing.

The four women who arrived on the scene watched Bai Jing's retreating figure, each with different emotions.

Jiang Sishui manipulated the forces of heaven and earth, gathered the thirty-eight corpses together, set them ablaze, then left with the four women.

As if he had merely disposed of a trivial matter, not crushed the main force of a top-tier power.

The group continued toward Yanxia Shanzhuang.

On the road, Jiang Sishui told the four women the story of the Happy King and Bai Jing's grudge.

Ruyi and Huancui suddenly understood.

So the Mistress had been ruined by the Happy King—no wonder her hatred ran so deep.

At dusk, they lodged at another inn, and Jiang Sishui sent Ruyi, Huancui, and Liu Mingluan all to Mantuo Shanzhuang.

292 The Understanding Bai Feifei, the Alluring Lan Fenghuang

"Ruyi! Huancui! You…"

Seeing her two personal maids suddenly appear before her, Bai Feifei, utterly unprepared, stared in shock.

"Young Lady, you're really here—it was Master Jiang… Master-in-law who brought us!"

The two maids, seeing Bai Feifei, beamed with joy—lively Huancui rushed forward and hugged her arm.

Bai Feifei was also delighted.

In the Ghost Palace, the ones she was closest to weren't her "mother" Bai Jing, who sometimes whipped her, but these two maids.

After settling down safely at Mantuo Shanzhuang, Bai Feifei had planned to bring them over.

Before she could act, Jiang Sishui revealed in his diary that he was going to Qilian Mountain to retrieve the "Eight Dragon Pearls."

Qilian Mountain lay on the border of Qing and Gan provinces, while the Ghost Palace's headquarters was in Ningzhou.

Jiang Sishui had to pass through Ningzhou to reach Qilian Mountain.

So Bai Feifei had planned to fetch the two maids then.

Unexpectedly, before she could speak, Jiang Sishui had already brought them over himself.

Jiang Sishui saw Bai Feifei's delighted expression, took her hand, sat beside her, and told her about the Happy King and Bai Jing, and his deal with Bai Jing.

27 After listening, Bai Feifei sighed softly: "The Happy King… the Mistress has finally gotten what she wanted."

Jiang Sishui wrapped his right arm around Bai Feifei's waist, his chin resting against her forehead, and whispered: "I didn't consult you before making this decision—don't you blame me?"

Bai Feifei shook her head: "Big Brother Jiang did this for Feifei's sake—how could Feifei blame Big Brother Jiang? Besides, we're husband and wife; our hearts are already one—what Big Brother Jiang wants is what Feifei wants."

As she spoke, Bai Feifei looked up at Jiang Sishui, her eyes shimmering, her voice soft: "Our Ghost Palace, like the Immortal Water Palace, is all women."

Jiang Sishui: "..."

Meeting the girl's meaning-laden gaze, Jiang Sishui felt a pang of guilt, his face flushing.

Just as he was about to pretend to be serious again, Bai Feifei leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Ruyi and Huancui were just my maids—I've promoted them to bedmaids now. Do you like it, Big Brother Jiang?"

Jiang Sishui raised an eyebrow.

Seeing Bai Feifei smiling sweetly, not testing or feigning, and glancing at the two lovely maids nearby, imagining the scene of the three women sharing his bed, his heart stirred.

Without another word, he leaned down and kissed her cherry lips.

The one who truly understands him—Feifei!

First, seal the deal—as reward.

Had it not been for Liu Mingluan still waiting to be settled, Bai Feifei would already be on the embroidered bed in the room.

Long moments passed before they parted.

"I'll come to you tonight."

Jiang Sishui left those words, then took Liu Mingluan and departed.

"Young Lady, Young Lady, what did Master-in-law tell you? Why did he suddenly kiss you?"

Huancui, carefree by nature, asked outright, curious.

Bai Feifei looked at her, smiling slyly: "You'll find out tonight."

…

Though Ruyi and Huancui were new arrivals, they were old acquaintances of Bai Feifei, so they had no trouble adapting to this new place.

Liu Mingluan, however, was alone.

Jiang Sishui thought for a moment and decided to take her to Ren Yingying.

Liu Mingluan was quiet by nature, timid—even when curious, she often didn't ask.

So Jiang Sishui took the initiative to introduce her.

As they spoke, their hands naturally clasped together.

Seeing Liu Mingluan didn't pull away, Jiang Sishui understood.

Her small hand nestled in his warm palm, Liu Mingluan felt shy yet deeply comforted.

Not long after, they arrived at Ren Yingying's residence.

Before even going in, they heard the voices of Blue Phoenix and Ren Yingying from inside.

Ren Yingying had only just received the dew and rain the night before, and this morning she couldn't get out of bed.

Unable to move about easily, she had been looked after by Blue Phoenix for the whole day.

Seeing Jiang Sishui push the door open and come in, Ren Yingying couldn't help blushing crimson with shyness.

Blue Phoenix, however, was far bolder, and laughed coquettishly: "Jiang Lang is still so ungentle with the fairer sex. With me it doesn't matter, but the Saint Maiden has such delicate skin — couldn't you have held back a little?"

Before Jiang Sishui could reply, Ren Yingying, embarrassed, scolded: "Blue Phoenix, you… you're not allowed to say another word!"

Blue Phoenix let out an "Ouch!" and said with a smile: "Saint Maiden, I'm speaking up for you here — how can you turn around and blame me? Or did I misunderstand, and the Saint Maiden actually likes Jiang Lang's rough ways?"

As she spoke, she saw Jiang Sishui extend his arm toward her; Blue Phoenix twisted her slender waist and threw herself willingly into his embrace.

A giggle, a thousand charms and a hundred allurements.

With soft jade and warm fragrance in his arms, feeling Blue Phoenix's boldness and warmth, Jiang Sishui had to admit — she truly was a little enchantress.

Ren Yingying, meanwhile, had her face go red from being blocked by a single line of Blue Phoenix's.

Suddenly noticing Liu Mingluan following behind Jiang Sishui, Ren Yingying hurriedly changed the subject: "Miss Liu, you've come too?"

Liu Mingluan gave a slight nod of her pretty head: "It was Young Master Jiang who brought me here."

Jiang Sishui immediately stated his purpose, which also served to rescue Ren Yingying from her predicament.

"No problem, I'll take good care of Miss Liu. Alright, now I need to have a word with Miss Liu — you two go off and amuse yourselves."

Ren Yingying agreed readily, then unceremoniously pushed the two of them out the door.

……

Outside the courtyard, Jiang Sishui said helplessly: "Yingying's face is thin-skinned — you mustn't tease her like this all the time, or I won't even get the chance to sit down for a cup of tea."

Blue Phoenix rested her slender hand on Jiang Sishui's shoulder, giggled, and breathed out like orchids: "I know I've spoiled Jiang Lang's good time — at worst, just let Jiang Lang 'punish' me for it."

Punish?

Jiang Sishui's heart stirred.

Seeing Blue Phoenix's alluring eyes grow hazy, with amorous waves swirling within — wanting to speak yet holding back — he took the hint at once.

A flash of light, and the two vanished on the spot.

……

As mealtime approached, Jiang Sishui went out alone.

Suddenly spotting a figure ahead, Jiang Sishui couldn't help blurting out in surprise: "Sister Zhou?"

That person was none other than Wu Zhou.

Wu Zhou never stayed overnight at Mankou Shanzhuang — so why, at this hour, would she still appear here?

Hearing Jiang Sishui's voice, Wu Zhou also headed toward him.
