Young Master Jun?s mind short-circuited upon hearing this absolute beauty speaking the words of a hooligan.

Is… this still that gentle and sweet-tempered Miao Xiao Miao? Who is this? This is a little too shrewish, ah?!

In an instant, Young Master Jun felt like he had turned into a young woman, and there was a mountain bandit right before him, waving his chopper and arranging her as he pleased, announcing her fate that she now belonged to him…

?This world is really bizarre ah…? Young Master Jun rubbed his nose as he laughed bitterly. He noticed that since he came into Misty Illusory Manor, he had been rubbing his nose a lot more than usual…

?It?s not early… We really should make a move…? Jun Mo Xie looked at the black robed man. A huge puddle of fresh blood had formed under him. The injury that had penetrated right through him was definitely not light.

He sure can faint… Not even waking up after such a long time… It works even if you make a noise during this entire time ah… I can also make some terms with you… But to think that you don?t even feel any pain?

Jun Mo Xie really felt helpless. Miao Xiao Miao seemed as if she was about to forget all about this important witness. By the time Miao Xiao Miao remembered him, this fellow would probably have died from blood loss already…

Secretly flicking his finger, a gust of air swiftly sealed the bleeding wound on that black robed man. If he was left to bleed like that, this person definitely would not survive…

?Go… where do we go?? Miao Xiao Miao asked shyly, still covering her face. ?Aiya! It?s already this late… If I don?t go home, everyone will be worried…? She jumped and said.

?Yes, yes, you should hurry home…? Young Master Jun said urgently, as if he were being freed from a burden.

His hurry was obvious through his words.

Miao Xiao Miao suddenly glared unsatisfactorily at Jun Mo Xie. An anger and unfriendly expression on her face. Jun Mo Xie felt confused and followed her gaze to scan himself.

?You?re so eager for me to leave? Then I shall not go!? Miao Xiao Miao rolled her eyes.

?Uh… Um… I?m wrong…? Jun Mo Xie only felt as if his entire head was in a fight…

?If you want me to forgive you, then you must answer one question of mine!? Miao Xiao Miao was an intelligent girl; she knew that it was not the stage where she could throw a tantrum. ?That competition in completing the couplet; did you really not managed to match it prior to this? Now that I think about it, the more I feel that it was a trap that you had intentionally arranged! That first line was an absolute line, but as long as the crux is figured out, it is not that difficult to match it! The only difficulty is that the time given was too short, and haste makes it harder to come up with it!?

?Haha…? Jun Mo Xie felt the urge to laugh thinking of how Zhan Qing Feng and Zhan Yu Shu thought they were clever but ended up hitting their own feet. ?Miss Miao is intelligent; that was indeed the truth of the matter. That couplet was indeed not that difficult to match… It?s essence is still rather superficial. Even if it cannot be done instantly, it would have been matched after such a long time. Only those two fools from the Zhan Family would really think that I cannot match it…?

?Actually, the two brothers of the Zhan Family are really stupid. The trap was laid right before their eyes, yet they just walked right into it… But you said that the essence of this couplet is superficial? Aren?t you talking a little too big. The magnanimity of the first line of the couplet was so full of arrogance; it is not that difficult to just match it in construction. But to be able to match that sort of imposing might is extremely difficult. How could it be superficial??

?Heaven as the chessboard, stars as chess pieces. Who is able to play it? This first line is truly impressive… But the second line you came up with is also amazing: the land be the pipa, path be the string, who dares to play? Haha…?

?It?s still the same line, as long as you know the crux within it, it is not difficult to match this couplet… Besides, there is not only one answer for the second line.? Jun Mo Xie rubbed his nose again.

I?m going to get a nose inflammation…

?Not only one?? Miao Xiao Miao?s eyes widened. ?I thought for such a long time but I couldn?t come up with a sentence that is suitable to match this line. Don?t tell me that you actually have a few of them??

?For example… Thunder as the battle drums, lightning as the flags, who dares to battle?? Jun Mo Xie chuckled. ?This line is one that is truly arrogant and imposing!?

?Thunder as the battle drums, lightning as the flags, who dares to battle? Brilliant! It is truly brilliant!? Miao Xiao Miao repeated it softly, the look in her eyes turning brighter and brighter. The way she gazed at Jun Mo Xie also became more and more gentle. ?Jun… your talent is really… beyond words…?

Jun Mo Xie perspired furiously…

This was also plagiarize ah, if I can be very honest, I really don?t have the talent to match it…

?Oh dear, Little Beansprout is still over there. I struck her acupuncture point earlier.? Miao Xiao Miao shrieked and hurried over and picked her up, removing the Cloak of Invisibility as she released Little Beansprout?s acupuncture points.

The little lass yelled the moment she opened her eyes. ?Miss! It?s dangerous; don?t go!? Clearly her conscious was still stuck in the moment Miao Xiao Miao charged out…

Opening her big round eyes and looking at Jun Mo Xie and Miao Xiao Miao standing before her, she was stunned. After a long while, she shook her head and said adorably, ?Miss and Young Master Mo, why are the both of you still alive? This… what is going on? Could I still be dreaming??

Both of them broke out in laughter simultaneously.

?It?s getting late; both of you should hurry back home soon.? Jun Mo Xie chuckled. ?The future is long… why the need to be so pressed right now??

?Indeed… It is true that the future is long…? The look in Miao Xiao Miao?s eyes turned softer as she looked at Jun Mo Xie. ?Then… I?m leaving now…?

?En.? Jun Mo Xie nodded his head.

Little Beansprout only noticed that Miao Xiao Miao was holding onto her veil. She was surprised, but exclaimed excitedly. ?Miss… you… you… congratulations to you for achieving your dreams…?

?What achieving my dreams… What nonsense are you spouting.? Miao Xiao Miao instantly turned red. She gently pinched at Little Beansprout?s face and pouted playfully.

Afterwards, she instructed Little Beansprout to drag the black robed man on the ground before turning to Jun Mo Xie. ?Jun… you still owe me the score for the Song of the Burial of Flowers… I?ll go and find you for it tomorrow… Don?t you bail on me ah…?

Jun Mo Xie agreed with a bitter laugh.

There was a flash of white before his eyes, a white veil drifted across his face. Jun Mo Xie reached and caught it out of instinct. Miao Xiao Miao?s bashful voice came ringing from far away. ?This… is what you removed, so it belongs to you…?

Far away, Miao Xiao Miao and Little Beansprout were two tiny silhouettes left.

How is it something I removed; you were the one who took it off on your own… But his thoughts were in a whirl as he held onto this white veil. That softness of the cloth in his hand gave him an intoxicating feeling…

From the veil, a light, refreshing fragrance of a maiden could be smelled?it was the fragrance from Miao Xiao Miao?s body…

Jun Mo Xie sighed internally.

I really don?t know how to settle this debt of affection…

After mulling in his thoughts, he kept the white veil and activated the Yin Yang Escape, concealing himself as he chased in the direction Miao Xiao Miao headed in.

This place was still out in the wilderness. Miao Xiao Miao and her maid were just two girls. Even though Miao Xiao Miao?s cultivation was not ordinary, there were too many ambitious people in this place with profound levels of cultivation. There was no guarantee that there would be no other accidents; it was better to be safe…

Seeing Miao Xiao Miao and Little Beansprout moving along rapidly, the conversation between them drifted into Jun Mo Xie?s ears: ?… Miss… you are really impressive, that Young Master Mo really looks like he is completely taken by you ah…?

?What do you mean by taken by me? You silly lass, how can you be so crude in your words…?

?Miss, how did you do it? That Young Master Mo is clever and honest, very talented, and has the Free and Natural Physique. His future is endless… He is an extremely ideal husband ah…?

Little Beansprout?s words almost made Young Master Ju,n who was currently concealed, stumble headfirst into the ground.

God, to think that there is someone who says that I?m clever and honest… The level of evaluation is a bit off the scale ah…

?…? After a long while, Miao Xiao Miao finally replied. ?What attracted me.. was not his future… but… him as a person ah…?

?True… Young Master Mo is good at everything; just that his appearance is a bit too ugly. He is only unworthy of Miss in this aspect, but there is no perfect person anyway…? Little Beansprout?s made Jun Mo Xie stumble again…

?Nonsense! How is Young Master Mo ugly? I think he looks fine ah…? Miao Xiao Miao?s voice was hushed, from her tone it was obvious that her face was completely red already…

?Fine, fine… I won?t say anything else, alright? But how are you going to tell Old Master about this. This doesn?t seem like it?ll be easy to say; even though Young Master Mo?s status is not ordinary, but…? Little Beansprout?s voice changed to that of concern.

?Ai… Let?s take each step at a time…?

With Miao Xiao Miao?s sigh, both of them drifted into a huge manor. Two words were written on the golden painted plate on the door: Miao Manor!

Jun Mo Xie halted as he looked at the great door of the most influential family in the Misty Illusory Manor. He only felt his entire mind go blank from all the thoughts whirling in there…

What should I do? What should you do?

If there is a future… then, what should I do? What should you do?

Standing under the dazzling, starlit night sky, Young Master Jun?s mind was in turmoil. It was impossible to sort it out. Right now, he completely had no idea what he should do about the situation!

This was the first time in both lives he was experiencing such a conflicting thought.

His previous life he spent intoxicating himself at clubs for the sake of necessity, only playing along with the conditions?there was no real feelings involved. But it was also because of this that he had saved plenty of trouble.

But in this life, in a feudalistic society like this, this was a man?s paradise. It made complete sense for a man, especially a successful one, to have three wives and four concubines. Even women completely accept this mindset.

If you were lacking in wives, that meant you were incapable or that you had been subdued by the tigress at home. Otherwise, the more the better. Like how Young Master Jun?s mother in this world, Dongfang Wen Xin, despite only loving her husband Jun Wu Hui, requested her son to marry a few more wives to bear a few more sons and daughters…
