NOVEL NEXT Chapter 38
Chapter 38: What? Honey, Did You Pick Up A Concubine For Me?
“This is your food for the past few days. If everything is alright, I hope you won’t step out of this house.”
A few days later, on a dusk, Li Mo went to Purple Orchid Pavilion to recite stories.
Jing Ni then picked up a bag of food and left the city, returning to the rural courtyard where they had been before outside the city.
She placed the things in her hand on the well cover in the yard, looked up and reminded the red figure sitting on the courtyard wall.
The person on the house wall slowly turned his head.
The delicate figure under the fiery red long skirt looked particularly full and charming in the sunset. Her stunning and charming face instantly made the evening glow pale in comparison.
She raised a charming curve at the corner of her mouth, tilted her head and blinked at Jing Ni.
Her voice was crisp: “Thank you!”
Although both were women, and both were beautiful women.
But Jing Ni had to admit that this woman was simply unrealistically beautiful.
That night outside the city, Jing Ni intended to kill her.
However, she found that this woman’s skills were not weak.
The woman was chased by Hundreds of Birds while Jing Ni was chased by Network.
Perhaps thinking of herself, Jing Ni stopped after a few moves.
This was a woman who had experienced the same hardships as herself!
Although she didn’t kill her, she couldn’t take her back either.
Jing Ni thought of the old house left by her and Li Mo.
The old house was far from Xinzheng, and it was in the innermost part of the village, secluded and hidden.
She just tentatively asked her if she would like to go with her, and unexpectedly she nodded and agreed.
You say she is naive and easy to deceive, but she is smarter than anyone else!
You say she is bold, but she is more cautious than anyone else!
“Aren’t you afraid that I will deceive you here, and then tell your whereabouts to the Nightfall?”
Jing Ni swept the broom, tidying up her and Li Mo’s first residence in the courtyard.
The woman sitting on the house wall swayed her legs lightly, revealing her snow-white and smooth calves from the hem of her skirt. She watched the busy hellbender with interest and slowly said, “But you saved me, you are a good person. A good person would not conspire with the Nightfall!”
Jing Ni couldn’t help but smile at her words.
This kind of thinking logic, she heard it for the first time.
It was also the first time someone had told her she was a good person!
Jing Ni couldn’t believe it herself, that a cold and ruthless killer would one day have a heart of compassion.
So when she lay in bed that day, she felt more and more unlike herself!
“Your hands should be holding a sword, but why are you holding a broom?”
The woman stared at the broom in Jing Ni’s hand.
From Jing Ni’s skills that day, she could see that this person was a top assassin.
Professional to a degree rarely seen in the world.
She couldn’t understand why such a top assassin had the same life-like aura as an ordinary woman.
She should be cruel and ruthless, shouldn’t she!
Jing Ni seemed to be struck by what she said and suddenly stopped.
She slowly straightened up, extended her palm, and looked at it.
There was an invisible thin callus in the palm, which she had formed from holding the sword for twenty years.
There was a happy smile on her lips: “It used to be like that, but later… Later someone changed me.”
“Who?”
The woman asked curiously.
Jing Ni stood a broom one person tall in front of her, raised her head and looked at the woman on the courtyard wall.
Proudly said, “My husband!”
The woman with fair and slender fingers pointed at her chin and asked in confusion, “Your husband? Is he an assassin too?”
Jing Ni shook her head, “No, he is an ordinary person, and he can’t see with his eyes.”
“A blind man?”
The woman was even more curious.
An ordinary blind man could actually change the character of a top assassin?
“Then he is an extraordinary blind man.”
Jing Ni smiled and said, “Of course he is extraordinary. If you have the chance to meet him, you will know. He is very special, surpassing everyone in the world.”
“Uh, an extraordinary blind man.”
The woman shrugged, seeming not to take her words to heart.
After speaking, her eyes flickered mischievously, playing: “Such a good husband, are you not afraid that I will meet him and compete with you?”
Jing Ni looked at her with a smile that was not a smile on her face.
The playfulness in her eyes was even stronger than hers: “Well, then we can be sisters.”
“……”
The woman suddenly froze, as if for the first time she was speechless, completely unsure how to respond.
How could there be such generous women in the world?
She felt embarrassed and rolled her eyes, continuing to watch the sunset.
Jing Ni continued to sweep the courtyard.
After a moment, she remembered something and asked, “By the way, I still don’t know what your name is?”
The woman leaned against the walls on both sides, her face still illuminated by the golden sunset, casting a faint and charming light. The hem of her skirt swayed gently, revealing a pair of snow-white legs.
She said slowly, “Yan Lingji.”
