Chapter 4.1: Playing Outside Calls For Payback

Accompanying those two words that reached them was a highly expensive carved jade wine flask, that struck with pinpoint accuracy right onto that audacious hand.

The woman’s face instantly turned pale, her whole arm turned numb.

But she did not bother with the pain she was feeling but instead fell straight to her knees onto the floor, not even daring to raise her head up as her entire body trembled visibly.

Because the layout of the place was specially designed. Every single space in there was independant and sealed completely. Though they were separated only by a bead curtain, they would not be able to hear anything outside. It could be seen that the owner of the place had spent quite a bit of effort on the place.

Outside was a bustle of indulgence in fine wine and boisterous revelry, with the glittering of gold and luxurious opulence seen all around, but on the inside, it made people feel as if they had fallen right into a ice cave, the chilling cold biting into their bones.

Even the face of the woman who had been flirting with Qing Yu earlier had changed in shade, as she turned respectfully around, her eyes and head lowered down.

The smile at the edges of Qing Yu’s mouth faded away a little, her eyes turning to look in the direction that the wine flask had been thrown from.

Right at that moment, a gust of wind blew the curtain open, revealing a person inside who had his eyes half opened, deep violet eyes that were dark and sinisterly charming, so beautiful to look at, drawing countless people to want to get close to them like moths to a flame.

That pair of eyes were just too beautiful! And at the same time so very terrifying.

Which made Qing Yu still remember today the first words he had said. “You are the first person who dares to look at me like that.”

But she really wasn’t in the mood to reminisce at that moment about the time they had first met, but was instead thinking why that fella would appear here like a pesky spirit that could not be shaken off! ?

Speaking of that, having been here in this strange world for so many years, she had never been fearful of anyone. Up till now, this man could be considered to be the first person that made her instinctively feel that he was not to be trifled with.

As for how she had come to have crossed paths with him, it had stemmed from when she was concocting an antidote elixir for Qing Bei, where she needed to acquire a very rare and precious herb, the Polar Fire Core.

According to what was depicted in the books, that was a species that was only the very verge of extinction and this man happened to have it in his hands.

Alright, she would admit that her conduct was not all that acceptable when she took it without asking, but who asked that fella to be so obstinate, refusing to budge by force or persuasion. She had even suggested many conditions unfavourable to herself in exchange for it and since he still refused, she had no choice but to take it by force.

“Qing Yu, do you know this person?” Qing Bei beside her had naturally noticed something amiss and he asked in a low voice.

But just how sharp were that man’s ears when his eyes immediately darkened by quite a bit.

It’s true….. What you fear most will finally come haunt you.

Back then, to show her sincerity she had even taken the initiative to reveal her name to him but had merely inverted the sequence, giving her name as Yu Qing.

Mm. She had not really lied afterall, as those words were still her name.

The black robed guards standing on both sides of him had been stewing for quite a while under the terrifying aura their Lord was exuding.

They knew immediately that their Lord was not in that great a mood at that moment.

There was another enchanting and beautiful looking red clothed man directly opposite the violet eyed man, his stunningly dazzling peach blossom eyes with their long luscious lashes bright and radiant, his face filled with a brilliant smile.

“Kid, I haven’t seen you for so long. How are you?”

The youth was not unfamiliar to him. His portrait had been hanging on the wanted list for two whole years already, but no one had been able to locate him at all, like he had completely disappeared from the face of the earth.

This was truly a case of wearing out a pair of iron shoes in search to no avail, but suddenly stumbling upon it without any effort needed.

Such an audacious little brat, under the entire Heavens, it was feared that only this little kid would dare to take advantage of a man like Lou Jun Yao.
