Chapter 91: How About Being Your Man?
When she saw that the person who walked out was Ming Xiu, Lou Mu Yan was inexplicably relieved, and when she heard the other party’s magnetic voice again, her lips curled up into an arc.
“Ming Xiu.” Lou Mu Yan said the two words lightly, wondering why this guy came here?
“Woman, what are you doing here?” Ming Xiu walked until he stopped in front of Lou Mu Yan and looked at her with deep eyes.
Lou Mu Yan chuckled, raised her eyes, and said: “And what’re you doing here?”
Hearing Lou Mu Yan speaking to Ming Xiu in such a way, the middle-aged man who followed couldn’t help but reveal slight shock. Master had never been so friendly to anyone before. Meanwhile the eyes of the other enchanting woman were cold and unkind.
“Take a guess!” Ming Xiu leaned closer to Lou Mu Yan and his warm breath hit her ears.
Lou Mu Yan’s eyes darkened and didn’t avoid him as she stared directly at the flamboyant and domineering man, “For the Scarlet-Frost Jiao, or for the Deep Orchid?”
A devilish smile rose on Ming Xiu’s lips, and their breaths intertwined. His long and thin eyes narrowed slightly, “What if This Highness wants both?”
This woman actually came to this place, then it must be for the Deep Orchid.
Lou Mu Yan stretched her hand out and poked Ming Xiu’s sturdy chest, pushing him a step away, then said calmly: “I want the Deep Orchid.”
“Pfft! An Initial-Phase Sword Spirit cultivation base Sword Master also wants the Deep Orchid? What a joke.” The enchanting woman behind sneered, her tone carrying thick contempt.
It was because she relied on her status as Ming Xiu’s Right Guardian, that she could ridicule this beautiful girl that she found extremely unpleasing to the eye.
Her Master had never liked being close to others and kept at least three feet away from anyone, yet who knew that he would be so intimate with a little girl that suddenly appeared from nowhere. A sense of crisis rushed up to Mo Lan’s heart.
Lou Mu Yan’s gaze shifted to the enchanting and bewitching woman, but didn’t directly reply, then immediately retrieved her gaze, raised an eyebrow, and looked at Ming Xiu, saying: “Your dog’s barking.”
“What did you say?” Mo Lan’s enchanting face suddenly changed. The pressure of a Sword Monarch was fully exerted, and she pressed it towards Lou Mu Yan.
Lou Mu Yan’s eyes chilled. Was it that now everyone wanted to squish her like a soft peach1? Just when she was about to mobilise a Mental Energy tempest within her Sea of Consciousness, she saw the man before her gently wave his sleeve, and that pressure instantly disappeared.
He didn’t even look at the woman behind him as he uttered some cold words: “Mo Lan, go to the Criminal Law Hall yourself for three months.”
“Master.” Mo Lan’s eyes were full of disbelief. She bit her lip and addressed aggrievedly.
“One year. Go yourself.” Ming Xiu turned and looked at Mo Lan with a cold expression.
The grievances in Mo Lan’s heart expanded infinitely. Master had never punished her to go to the Criminal Law Hall, and yet this time, he actually punished her because of that little bitch. Just when she wanted to speak, she was stopped by the middle-aged man beside her.
“You know Master’s temper. If you say anymore, you won’t just be going for a year.” The man whispered to Mo Lan.
There was reluctance in Mo Lan’s eyes. She raised her head and looked at Ming Xiu, but her heart trembled from the dissatisfaction in that pair of cold eyes. It seemed that Master was really angry.
Master’s temperament was really impermanent, sometimes devilish, sometimes cold, sometimes gentle. She didn’t know which was the real him at all, but once he was angry, whoever dared to disobey, they definitely wouldn’t end well.
“Mo Lan obeys.” Mo Lan retrained the insidiousness in her eyes, lowered her head and replied respectfully.
Ever since she started following Master, she had adored him. She only wished that one day2, he would have her in his heart, and even take her as his wife. So she couldn’t tolerate any woman getting close to Ming Xiu. She remembered that woman in her heart, and one day, she would definitely make her die without a grave.
“Go.” Ming Xiu furrowed his brows and the devilish smile had long disappeared, replaced by a cold look.
Mo Lan pinched her palm tightly. She didn’t want to leave. She raised her head and looked at Ming Xiu, her eyes watery and aggrieved, saying: “Master, after the matters at the Glacial Mountain Range is finished, Mo Lan will go back to be punished.”
“No need. Go now.” Currently, Ming Xiu truly despised the deep adoration in Mo Lan’s eyes to the extremes. There was no need for a Guardian who didn’t know her own place to continue to be by his side.
“But— PU!” Mo Lan wanted to argue again, but with a casual swing of Ming Xiu’s arm, she was struck back by a powerful Elemental Energy wave, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
“Get lost!” Ming Xiu’s patience had almost been exhausted.
He could already be considered indulging Mo Lan, but he didn’t allow her to have any inordinate ambitions. Especially that insidious gaze cast towards Lou Mu Yan—it made killing intent rise within him.
“Mo Lan obeys!” Mo Lan clutched her chest in terror, then said, unreconciled, and left.
After turning around, her enchanting face became distorted, but she didn’t bear grudges against Ming Xiu. Instead, she placed this debt all on Lou Mu Yan. When she came out of the Criminal Law Hall, she would make sure that this woman would feel better off dead.
Lou Mu Yan’s Mental Energy was very powerful, so she naturally found the hostility and killing aura Mo Lan had towards her, but she merely sneered in her heart.
She raised her head and glared at Ming Xiu—it was all this guy’s fault for attracting rotten peach blossom3
debt, yet what did it have to do with her? Although she wasn’t afraid of that Mo Lan, but she really was being innocently involved in all this.“You sure could bear hurting her.” Lou Mu Yan was upset, and her eyes carried a meaningful, profound look of ridicule.
Ming Xiu’s phoenix eyes grew deep, and an unprecedented anger rose in his chest. He hated this little woman looking at him with eyes that carried ridicule.
He stretched out his hand and gently squeezed Lou Mu Yan’s chin, brought his head closer until the tips of their nose almost touched and said coldly: “Woman, you’re not allowed to use that look to look at This Highness.”
“Why not? Who are you to me? Why do I have to listen to you?” Lou Mu Yan sneered. No one had ever dared to squeeze her chin.
“Who?” Ming Xiu pondered for a while, released the hand that squeezed her chin, then suddenly placed his lips on Lou Mu Yan’s lips, but only a touch, before immediately leaving, with eyes that carried dark, non-dissolvable ink4. He spoke with an arrogant, domineering manner, his voice deep and sexy: “How about being your man?”
He had always hated physical contact with people, and hated the rouge smell on women even more, but he didn’t expect that when he approached this woman, there would actually be an urge to have a taste of her flavour. The result was, he found that the taste of a woman’s soft, glutinous, warm lips was actually pretty good.
“Be my man?” Lou Mu Yan’s bright eyes were currently filled with obscure colours. She was actually kissed by this man. For the first time in her two lives was she treated like this by a man.
As the Spirit World’s Female Immortal, how could she allow herself to be so easily flirted with by a man. After a pause, she suddenly stretched out her hand and wrapped her arms around Ming Xiu’s neck. Her red lips kissed his, but it also didn’t linger long. When they parted, her lips revealed slight playfulness, and she said: “It seems Monarch Ming’s flavour isn’t that good.”
After speaking, she turned and walked forward, but ripples rose in her originally calm heart.
The gaze beneath Ming Xiu’s mask deepened, and the sexy, thin lips rose into an exceedingly devilish arc. This woman sure was courageous, but she damnably matched his appetite.

1the original saying is ‘soft persimmon’ so when someone ‘squeezes a soft persimmon’ it means they take them as weak and easy to bully. Here it seems the author wants to be creative and say soft peach?
2well, so I’m pretty sure, for some weird reason, they censored the word 天 or 日 which means ‘day’, again. It happened last time in chapter who-knows-what, and it’s happened again because I am certain that word fits in this context since it’s something that everyone says ‘one day’ this, ‘one day’ that etc. Why so specific? Haha
3‘peach blossom’ is often used to in many instances to describe love interests or love-related things. For example, to ‘have peach blossom luck’ (走桃花运) means that the person is lucky in love. In this case, to attract ‘rotten peach blossoms’ (烂桃花) it means to have attracted unwanted love.
4just looking at someone really, really, really deeply.
Note: I warned you guys the development was rather fast! But oh my, I actually forgot that kiss happened HAHA. And oh my my, I forgot Lou Mu Yan ‘returned the favour’ to him too HAHA. XD More, more, more to come~
