Chapter 291

322 Yin Yin Susu: Fifth Brother, I'm sorry.

From beginning to end, Jiang Sishui never gave her a chance to speak.

This caused all the evasive tricks Yin Yin Susu had prepared in advance to fall through completely!

Now, she had gained nothing at all, and had instead given her body to Jiang Sishui.

This outcome was completely unacceptable to Yin Yin Susu; the regret and guilt in her heart went without saying.

When Jiang Sishui asked her name, Yin Yin Susu was still thinking about how to hide it, to preserve the last shred of dignity for herself and for her husband Zhang Cuishan.

Unfortunately, Jiang Sishui simply did not give her that chance.

After a fierce round of pressing, Yin Yin Susu confessed outright.

Because she knew that if she kept silent, Jiang Sishui would keep tormenting her.

As for lying?

Yin Yin Susu had considered it too, but later rejected the idea.

Because lies would eventually be exposed.

When that time came, the consequences would only be more severe.

"It seems I should call you Lady Zhang?"

Jiang Sishui had also caught on at this moment, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.

Although Yin Yin Susu's mind was still somewhat hazy, she could feel the arms wrapped around her tightening even more.

Like two tightening hoops, locking her firmly in his embrace.

It seemed her identity had stirred up even greater interest in Jiang Sishui.

Yin Yin Susu stayed silent, but in her mind the figure of her husband Zhang Cuishan surfaced.

Recalling how, by the workings of fate back then, the two of them had gone from meeting to knowing each other, understanding each other, and falling in love, they had also endured many hardships.

A disciple of the orthodox sects and a witch of the demonic school had come together; the difficulties involved need not be spoken of, and the gossip from others was inevitably plentiful.

Yet no matter how many storms they weathered, it never changed their conviction.

Their love was like a jar of aged wine, growing richer and mellower as time fermented it.

Until Zhang Wuji was born and grew up, when some changes began to occur.

Because of their son's education, the two of them, with their differing worldviews, began to argue fiercely, producing increasingly serious conflicts and disagreements.

Just two months ago, they had had a huge quarrel, and it had gotten very ugly.

In a fit of anger she had left for Jinzhou, never expecting to lose her chastity here.

She had actually done something that betrayed her husband.

Thinking of this, Yin Yin Susu could not help but be overcome with sorrow.

Although her and Zhang Cuishan's feelings had gradually transformed from love into familial affection, she still could not accept the fact that she had cuckolded her husband.

"Fifth Brother... Wuji... I'm sorry..."

Grief and remorse filled Yin Yin Susu's heart, tears streaming down.

But who could she blame?

She could only blame herself for being so blinded by love for her son in the moment, having her reason clouded by profit, that she actually thought to pull chestnuts from the fire.

In the end she had set herself ablaze; that was her own doing.

At this moment, she felt a face press close, then a strange damp warmth at the corner of her eye, as if something had licked her.

Yin Yin Susu's delicate body stiffened, and fear rose in her.

This feeling, she knew all too well.

Immediately after, that murmur like the whisper of a demon from an abyss of desire rose softly at her ear: "Can you tell me the purpose of your impersonating Miss Xuejuan?"

Hearing this, Yin Yin Susu fell silent in thought.

How could she possibly explain such a thing?

Yet her hesitation was taken by Jiang Sishui as resistance, and his gaze instantly turned dangerous.

Yin Yin Susu caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye, her face instantly draining of color, and she tried to stop him.

But the moment she opened her mouth, what came out was a soul-stirring, coquettish moan.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

A look of realization appeared on Jiang Sishui's face.

According to what Yin Yin Susu said, she had happened to learn from an ancient text that in Pingyao of Jinzhou there was an ancient tomb, inside which were hidden two peerless Wu Gong.

For Zhang Wuji's future, she had come to seek them.

Later she had learned by chance that the Qisha Sect was chasing after the secret manual of the Buddha's Palm, so she had followed along.

Combining this with the Qisha Sect's pursuit of the Changlong Escort Agency, she judged that the manual had very likely fallen into the hands of the Changlong Escort Agency.

However, not long ago, the experts of the Qisha Sect had all been killed, and she knew they had failed.

After that, Yin Yin Susu tracked various clues all the way, found the Yanxia Shanzhuang, and observed secretly for several days, judging that the manual was likely on Jiang Sishui.

So she had impersonated Tu Xuejuan, attempting to trick the manual away.

Apart from hiding the existence of the diary copy, and swapping the secret manual of the Heaven-Shattering Kick for the secret manual of the Buddha's Palm, Yin Yin Susu's words were nine parts true and one part false.

Therefore, Jiang Sishui did not doubt her explanation.

After all, the matter back then was not so seamless; there were indeed loopholes to be found.

It was just that Jiang Sishui did not fear accidents, and so could not be bothered to erase the traces.

Yet doubt still lingered in his heart: "Since you traveled thousands of miles to seek two great secret manuals, it must be that the ancient text already revealed the extraordinariness of these two martial arts."

"The matter is of great importance; why did you come alone, and not call your husband along?"

"With your Wu Gong, aren't you afraid something might happen to you on the road alone?"

Jiang Sishui's gaze burned bright.

He did not believe that, with Yin Yin Susu's intelligence, she could fail to read the situation and commit such a low-level mistake.

As for Realman Tie Qi and Daoist Yin Ping of Wudang Sect?

Those two were certainly formidable, but they were absolutely not in league with Yin Yin Susu.

First, Yin Yin Susu had to reach Jinzhou earlier — the timing did not match.

Second, if it had been Realman Tie Qi and Daoist Yin Ping who acted and obtained the two Liang Sect manuals, then those manuals would not be Yin Yin Susu's private property, but would belong to Wudang.

From then on, apart from Zhang Wuji, who could learn them and who could not would no longer be decided by Yin Yin Susu, but by Wudang Sect.

Given Yin Yin Susu's demonic temperament, she naturally would not be willing to exhaust herself only to make a wedding dress for someone else.

Judging from this, Realman Tie Qi and Daoist Yin Ping were most likely unaware that Yin Yin Susu had also come to Yanxia City.

Hearing this, Yin Yin Susu's first instinct was to weigh her words carefully before answering Jiang Sishui's question.

But then she suddenly recalled Jiang Sishui's punishment toward her, and couldn't help but shiver violently.

Not daring to hesitate any longer, she hurriedly explained her conflict with Zhang Cuishan.

"So that's how it is."

Jiang Sishui understood, then smiled lightly, leaned close to her ear, and whispered: "Miss Yin, Lady Yin, I have no grudge against you, yet you racked your brains to scheme against me."

"Tell me, how should I treat you?"

"And shouldn't you also pay a small price for your actions?"

323 Undefeated body, forever a god

Hearing this, Yin Yin Susu trembled all over and cried out in alarm: "You've already done this to me, and you… you still want me to do what?"

Jiang Sishui did not beat around the bush, and said frankly: "Of course I must punish you — punish you by being my woman forever."

The thing she had feared most had come to pass. Yin Yin Susu shook her head repeatedly, her voice trembling: "No! No! You… you let me go, I can't betray Fifth Brother, I…"

By the end, a note of pleading had crept into her voice.

Caught in this sudden upheaval, Yin Yin Susu had long lost her composure; at this moment her mind was in utter turmoil — where was her usual cleverness and quick-wittedness?

Moreover, she knew Jiang Sishui's background all too well, and knew that once he had made a decision, she was utterly powerless to resist.

Therefore, the moment she heard Jiang Sishui meant to keep her, Yin Yin Susu panicked at once.

Looking at Yin Yin Susu's tear-stained pretty face, Jiang Sishui felt a pang of tenderness, yet had no intention of changing his mind.

In his previous life, when reading "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber," he had rather liked Yin Yin Susu.

But since the real her had already married, Jiang Sishui had no plans to go bother her.

Yet, by a twist of fate, he had shared intimate physical contact with her.

With things as they were, he could no longer let her go.
