“Do it if you want,” Tang Huan sobbed without moving her body. “I only have a few more days to live anyway. Liu- ge , you should enjoy me to your heart’s content while you still have the chance.”

“Why do you say so?” Qiao Liu frowned, carefully checking at her complexion and touching her pale little face. “Are you sick? Don’t be afraid, Liu- ge will bring you down the mountain to see the doctor!” Such a lovely nun, he would not want her to die of illness.

“In addition to chopping wood and carrying water, my master also punished me by making me kneel in the Buddha Hall,” Tang Huan said, pulling up her trouser legs to show him. “I-I got tired and lay down, but someone reported it to my master, so my master punished me making me kneel in her room instead. You see, my knees became like that after I knelt for one night. If this continues, how long do you think I can live?”

When she rolled up her trouser legs, Qiao Liu’s mind still swayed a little, but then he saw the obvious bruises on her fair and tender legs.

“Who is your master?” he demanded, enraged. “The old bald donkey is so cruel, treating you like this!”

“So what if you know who she is? She is my master, so I can’t violate her orders. C-can you go and argue with her? If you really do, Master will accuse me of fornication. I’m afraid I’m going to die even faster!”

“Forget it,” Tang Huan said self-deprecatingly as she turned her head to the side. “I’m not a fool. You claim to like me, yet you only want my body. What does it matter to you if I’m living well or not? If I live, you’ll come and want to do it with me. If I die, you’ll go find someone else. Do you think I don’t know that? In Jade Spring Nunnery, I’m not the only good-looking nun. If you have the ability, you can just get anyone you want, right?”

She talked faster and faster, tears falling, sounding aggrieved and pitiful, but the jealousy in her tone could be heard even by fools.

She even felt jealous; wasn’t it evident that she had already placed him in her heart?

Qiao Liu quickly turned her little face towards him and kissed her, gently coaxing her, “Don’t talk nonsense, I only have you in my heart. Compared to you, those nuns are farts!”

Tang Huan knew how cunning Qiao Liu was. She was aware that he was not as gullible as Song Mo, so she didn’t pretend to be a good person in front of him. She punched him lightly. “What is the use of just saying these sweet words? If you really have the ability to save me from this black-hearted nunnery and help me return to secular life, then I truly believe in you!”

“Return to secular life?” Qiao Liu was taken aback for a moment.

Tang Huan raised an eyebrow at him. “Yeah, do you want me to give myself to you for nothing? Dream on! Liu- ge , I will tell you the truth today. I can follow you, but you must help me leave the nunnery, because I’m tired of carrying water and chanting scriptures all day long, or being bossed around by those masters! Liu- ge , after I return to secular life, whether you marry me, take me as a concubine, or simply provide me a place to live, it’s all up to you! But before you help me leave, I would rather bite my tongue and kill myself than allow you to do anything to my body!”

Marry her? Qiao Liu had never thought about it, but if he could get her down the mountain and fool around with her for a long time, it would have been a good idea.

“How do you leave your nunnery?” Qiao Liu held the little nun’s hand and slowly asked. If they wanted money, he still had some savings. As long as the requirement was not too much, he could afford to pay a dozen taels of silver.

Tang Huan happily wrapped her arms around his neck. “Liu- ge , are you really willing to help me?”

Qiao Liu rubbed her breasts roughly. “When you say it like that, how can I not help you? If I don’t help you, you won’t give yourself to me. I cannot possibly allow you to bite your tongue and kill yourself!”

“Liu- ge , you are the best!” Tang Huan kissed him on the face, but when Qiao Liu wanted to kiss her back, she frowned again, and in Qiao Liu’s puzzled gaze, she said, “My master is Master Jingci. She has always been the greediest. When we hadn’t received enough alms, she would torture us every possible way she could. She is such a bad person. She will never let me leave the nunnery, u-unless I pay her a large amount of silver!”

“How much is considered a large amount?” Qiao Liu asked seriously.

Tang Huan stretched out one hand.

“Five taels of silver, I can still afford it.” Qiao Liu grinned.

Tang Huan looked askance at him. “Dream on, that wicked woman will not let me go for anything less than fifty taels!”

Qiao Liu’s face grew grave. Fifty taels, he could buy more than ten maids with that amount of silver. Even if they weren’t as pretty as this little nun, they still looked decent.

“Is there no other way?” Unwilling to lose face in front of the woman, Qiao Liu coughed and made a good excuse for himself. “I only have a little more than fifty taels in savings, but I still need to save it for us to enjoy life in the future. If I give it all to your master, are we supposed to live on just eating and drinking air?”

Tang Huan expressed that she completely understood him. Then she frowned and asked, “But what should we do? We don’t know any of her secrets so we can’t threaten her…”

Qiao Liu, who had been used to doing bad things since he was a child, immediately thought of an idea. He smiled. “Who said we can’t threaten her? Aren’t you going to her room tonight? You wait here. Liu- ge will go down the mountain to buy something. After I bring it to you, you find a chance to secretly put it in her drink at night…”

Tang Huan covered her mouth in surprise. “Do you want to poison her to death?”

Qiao Liu pinched her face, “Murder is a death sentence. I’m not that stupid. Meet me at the entrance at midnight tonight and you will know by then! I guarantee that you’ll be free by tomorrow!

The author has something to say: Lighting a candle for Master Jingci. Qiao Liu’s candle is also prepared. As for the female lead’s…taking the candle out from the bottom of the box. It’s ready.

By the way, I need to explain that because the male lead has no memory, his personality must match with his identity in the dream. The similarities with his personality in reality was that he is not close to the female sex and not easily attracted to women… Although the way Jiaren (author) wrote is somewhat sleazy, this is actually the story of a man and a woman who don’t understand love slowly developing feelings for each other. Pfft…very pure, right?
