Chapter 2.2 - Saving the Damsel in Distress (2/2)

Translator: Superbulat

As she was thinking, she suddenly stumbled and hurled herself forward!

Where is my Lightness Skill when I need it!

Tang Huan wailed in her heart, but fortunately, she knew her priorities, and immediately after she fell to the ground, she jumped back up and continued to run.

But, to her surprise, the moment she stood up, the man charged at her from behind like a hungry tiger attacking a lamb. Like getting hit by a large rock falling from the sky, she was knocked back down on the ground with her head facing down, almost vomiting blood!

“Run, run, run! Let’s see if you can still run now!” Qiao Liu’s big hands squeezed the slender waist of the woman beneath him as punishment. He then sat up, grabbed her shoulders, and effortlessly turned her around. With an evil grin on his face, he sat on top of the little nun. He smugly patted her cheek. Her face was pale, as if she still hadn’t recovered from the shock. “Have you gone dumb? Why aren’t you saying anything?” he asked while pulling at the neck of her robe, revealing the zhongyi 1 inside.

Her white shirt was propped up high, rising and falling with her breathing.

Qiao Liu felt hot all of the sudden. “Little Master Minghui looked thin, but it’s unexpectedly meaty here,” he said, groping Tang Huan’s chest as he pleased.

Tang Huan finally came back to her senses after being treated so roughly.

The man on top of her was as heavy as a huge rock. She couldn’t break free from him. Tang Huan clenched her teeth and glared at Qiao Liu. Suddenly, she raised her hand and hurled a handful of soil mixed with dust at Qiao Liu.

Qiao Liu was caught off guard. Although he turned his head in time, sand still got into his eyes.

Tang Huan took advantage of the moment and tried to escape.

She didn’t succeed…

Tang Huan finally realised the disparity in the strength between men and women. All Qiao Liu had to do was sit on her, even if he got distracted, she still couldn’t move.

Tang Huan panicked when she saw Qiao Liu rubbing his eyes with his lips pursed. It was over for her. Not only did she fail to beat him, but she even completely angered the man. What could she possibly do now?

She hadn’t thought of a way yet, but Qiao Liu already shook his head and turned to look at her. His left eye was slightly red; she didn’t know if it was caused by the rubbing or anger.

He grabbed her naughty little hands and pressed them above her head. “Minghui, you provoked me first,” he said coldly, looking down at her. “I had planned to be gentle with you since you are still young, but if you are like this, don’t blame me for being rough on you.” He began to take off her clothes. He liked the little nun, so he took her robe off without tearing it so that she could wear it again later. She would definitely keep this incident a secret. If she was safe, he could keep looking for her in the future.

One time wasn’t enough. It was hard to find such a beautiful and helpless little nun. He intended to continue making good use of her until he became bored.

Tang Huan realized something from his movements and eyes.

Her master had taught her different ways to deal with men. In this situation, a softer approach might have been better.

While he was looking at her, Tang Huan bit the inside of her lips and teared up from the pain. She asked pitifully, “Q-Qiao Liu- ge 2 , do you like me?”

Her voice was sweet and melodious, not sickeningly sweet but very seductive.

Qiao Liu was taken aback for a moment. Suppressing the burning fire in his heart, he stared into her watery eyes and asked, “So what if I do?”

Tang Huan’s thoughts were racing. But afraid that he would notice, she closed her eyes and sobbed, “Qiao Liu- ge , actually, actually I didn’t want to be a nun. I was sold by my parents to the nunnery when I was still a child. I didn’t know what else to do other than become a nun. Today I found out that Qiao Liu- ge likes me. I’m very happy, and for the first time ever, I feel like there’s some meaning to my life. My father and mother signed a lifetime indenture with the nunnery, so I’ll have to live there for the rest of my life. But, but, if I can be a pretend couple with you and occasionally come out to meet you, I..I’ll still be contented.”

Although Qiao Liu was not stupid, this was the first time a beautiful woman told him she was willing to follow him. He was tempted. “So, you’re saying that you are willing to be with me? Then, why did you run away from me just now?”

Tang Huan was secretly delighted, but she maintained her shy and helpless demeanor, saying, “You scared me just now. I assumed you were a bad person, of course I ran away. Now that you caught me, even if I escaped today, you might still find me in the future. T-then, I might as well get together with you now…”

Staring at her blushing little face, Qiao Liu couldn’t bear it anymore. He quickly took off his pants, kissing and gnawing at Tang Huan’s neck. “Oh my Minghui, if that’s what you want, Liu- ge will treat you well. Don’t be afraid; it will be slightly painful since this is your first time, but it’ll feel better in the future!”

He had a foul breath. Tang Huan suppressed the urge to vomit and begged him, “Liu- ge , I…you…can we do it tomorrow? It’s already getting late. If I return late, my master will punish me by making me kneel all night long. To avoid arousing suspicion and making it easier for us to meet in the future, today, today you wait for me first, okay?”

Qiao Liu paused.

Tang Huan continued, “Liu- ge …” She had goosebumps from hearing her own voice.

“Okay, then I’ll bear with it today,” Qiao Liu replied solemnly.

Tang Huan was overjoyed.

However, Qiao Liu abruptly pulled down her trousers and pressed his thing against her lower body. “But I don’t know if you’re lying to me or not!” he said. “I’ll tell you what, since you’re in a hurry, I’ll do you first. I’ll just go in for a while and take it out right away. I’ll let you experience my greatness on another day!”

With that, he thrusted forward.

Tang Huan was enraged and in pain. Were thugs really that clever these days?

If she really let him in, wouldn’t all her pleadings and flattery be in vain?

“Qiao Liu, if you dare to come in, Lao -”

She glared at him and yelled, but before she could finish saying the word ‘Laoniang’ 3 , she noticed a long shadow above her.

At that moment, Tang Huan’s cursing turned into crying for mercy, “Let go of me…”

When Tang Huan saw the unforgettable cold face, she suppressed the urge to smile and closed her eyes.

She could guess what this spring dream was about.

A thug wanted to rape a nun. Song Mo rescued the nun, and then, he couldn’t resist the temptation of her beauty, so he jumped at her?

If I wear less clothing, will it be easier to lure him into the bait?

Seeing Song Mo punching Qiao Liu, Tang Huan secretly lifted one side of her dudou 4 that Qiao Liu had yet to take off, revealing the view of her bosom.

The author has something to say: Haha, I wonder if Tang Huan’s plan can work…

T/N: The age of marriage for women in ancient China was around 13-15 years old (Source https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12285484/ ), so don’t be shocked at how young the female lead is (in the dreams) if this is your first time reading a historical novel. However, the female lead is actually 18 years old in real life.
