Chapter 2835: Chapter 2836: Zhu Ning’s Schemes
Bai Ruozhu’s eyes lit up. It seemed that the Space could isolate some of the effects of the Transfer Technique. If she hid in the Space when in pain, perhaps she could isolate half of the pain, and the other half might return to Zhu Ning?
"Help me find a book, I need to see how to break the Transfer Technique," Bai Ruozhu said.
Xiaohei went to the bookshelf, stood up, and took down a pile of books, placing them in front of her, flipping the pages with its paws.
It was indeed smart, knowing the speed she usually read at, flipping neither too fast nor too slow, just right, which made Bai Ruozhu feel very touched. Her leopard was so clever, the child was also especially smart; she truly raised everything exceptionally well.
She went through book after book, but still couldn’t find a way to break the Transfer Technique. Finally, the books were piled all over the place, making the Space a mess.
Xiaohei, after all, had paws and not hands, so it could only take the books down but couldn’t put them back neatly.
Bai Ruozhu’s heart sank. Does she have to always hide in the Space?
She could move her fingers now, so she had Xiaohei bring pen and ink, and with difficulty wrote a line: I’m going to the Holy Land at the Astrology Tower to avoid trouble, no need to worry. If there’s an emergency, just shout loudly by the bed.
With a thought, she sent the note to the bed.
...
Meanwhile, Yichun arranged for others to handle the task of returning a large number of babies because they all looked similar and had no distinctive marks to identify which family they belonged to.
They could only have families who had lost children come to identify them. To avoid misidentification, the family receiving a child was not allowed to leave immediately and had to have someone stay temporarily in a mansion in the town to care for the child.
The mansion was provided by the local landlord, who said he couldn’t bear to see so many families lose their children.
Even this arrangement led to some misidentifications. A later family came to claim a child, resulting in both families insisting it was their child, nearly causing a lawsuit.
Jiang Yichun couldn’t handle so many things now; he was focused solely on rescuing his wife.
Because they were transporting Zhu Ning, the journey was significantly slowed. Many times, he wished he could strangle Zhu Ning, but thinking of Ruozhu, he could only endure.
He had already received Muyu’s message, confirming that Zhu Ning’s claim was true: it was indeed a Transfer Technique.
With a swoosh, the sound of an arrow breaking through the air came—someone was attacking!
"Rescuers have arrived," Zhu Ning said with a smug smile. Now she was quite at ease since Jiang Yichun didn’t dare kill her and even had to serve her good food and drinks, worrying about affecting Bai Ruozhu on the other side.
If she wanted to escape, Jiang Yichun still wouldn’t dare to injure her. But if she was in a bad mood, she could easily cut herself a few times to make Bai Ruozhu feel a bit of pain.
The attackers had their faces covered, but their skills were extraordinary, more like people from the Qisha Pavilion.
Zhu Ning’s face broke into a smug smile, realizing that the higher-ups had sent people to rescue her. Once she escaped, she would mess with Bai Ruozhu again, knowing that they wouldn’t dare do anything to her.
Unexpectedly, the killer rushed forward and suddenly slashed toward her.
"What are you doing?" Zhu Ning exclaimed in alarm.
Jiang Yichun raised his sword to block the opponent’s blade. The opponent looked at Zhu Ning disdainfully, "Can’t save the young master, you deserve to die!"
Zhu Ning’s face changed dramatically. It was Ma Tongfang’s people, intending to kill her. On one hand, they were furious she couldn’t save Ma Xingguo, and on the other, they wanted to kill her to ensure Bai Ruozhu’s demise!
Her face turned pale, realizing she was merely a pawn. Who was this Transfer Technique really harming?
Jiang Yichun fought desperately, even extending his arm when the blade was about to strike Zhu Ning, spilling hot blood on Zhu Ning’s face, leaving her in a daze as she stared at Jiang Yichun, suddenly seeing him as so towering.
Such a good man, why isn’t he hers?
And what kind of people had she encountered?
You Meng merely toyed with her, Ma Xingguo merely used her, and he was nothing but a drunk, incapable of anything.
Why didn’t she have Bai Ruozhu’s fortune? Why didn’t she meet a good man like Jiang Yichun?
In her daze, Jiang Yichun, though injured, defeated the assassin and killed them one by one.
"It’s over," he said, taking out the Golden Wound Medicine to apply to his wound.
However, the cut on his arm was too deep and it seemed he needed Ruozhu to stitch it up. But wouldn’t Ruozhu feel sad seeing it?
Jiang Yichun stared absentmindedly at his wound, and Zhu Ning, also in a daze, asked after a while, "Why did you save me?"
"I’m just afraid that Ruozhu will be in pain," Jiang Yichun said without hiding anything.
Zhu Ning’s expression twisted from bewilderment, realizing it had nothing to do with her at all.
"I’m the only one who can undo this Transfer Technique; do you want me to break it?" she said with a sinister laugh.
"The condition!" How could she be so difficult without asking for conditions? Jiang Yichun asked.
Zhu Ning laughed out loud, "Talking to a smart person is really easy. You look pretty good. As long as you please me and satisfy me, I’ll break the Transfer Technique."
Jiang Yichun squinted his eyes, feeling deep disgust and revulsion, wishing he could kill Zhu Ning immediately.
"Why, unwilling? If not, your Bai Ruozhu will have to continue suffering. If you don’t point my acupoint, I can randomly cut myself, not worrying about death. I won’t feel it, and she will be miserable enough."
Zhu Ning continued to smile sinisterly, "You can also point my acupoint so she can’t move, and she will still suffer more than death."
"By the way, they want to kill me mainly to ensure Bai Ruozhu’s death. Can you still protect me? So be smart, it’s only once; after all, sleeping with someone isn’t anything significant."
Jiang Yichun showed a look of disdain, "The Transfer Technique even transfers sensation. What can you feel?"
"Hahaha, so it’s still Bai Ruozhu who benefits; why not comply?" she said, throwing a flirtatious look, "Which man hasn’t slept with a few women? One more is nothing. Since you want to save her, just have a good time with me."
"No interest, I’ll find another way, so shut your dirty mouth," Jiang Yichun said coldly.
"Angry? If you’re angry, you can hit me; after all, hitting me hurts Bai Ruozhu, I don’t mind," Zhu Ning giggled.
Jiang Yichun’s teeth ground against each other; he wanted so much to silence this woman’s filthy mouth, but feared it would affect Bai Ruozhu, so he could only let her babble madness.
"Stop hesitating, let’s just do it once, just once, and I’ll definitely make you satisfied. Don’t you love your woman a lot? Sleep with me once; you’re enjoying it and you can save your beloved woman, why not?" Zhu Ning’s eyes flashed with deceit.
She said it would only be once, but after that, she could simply deny it. If Jiang Yichun wanted her to break the Transfer Technique, it would have to be again.
After all, what’s done is done; once is sleeping anyway, and twice is also sleeping, no?
Once and again, isn’t that what happens between men and women? Sleep enough and it becomes a habit, becoming inseparable from her.
