C62 Part1

Translated by An Edited by An

Around midnight, Yang QiQi was awakened by a muffled noise coming from the corridor outside the room.

She opened her eyes and strained her ears to hear the movements clearly.

After a moment, she quickly lifted the quilt, got up and silently walked to the door barefoot. Strangely, the door was not locked, it was just shut lightly. She had, without a shred of doubt, locked it before going to bed. But now it was merely shut… She gently opened the door and sneakily peered outside. In the dark corridor, two shadows were engaged in a scuffle and one of them was even panting like a mad bull.

Yang QiQi switched on the lights in the corridor with a loud click. Her eyes automatically narrowed from the sudden surge of bright light. Even the two people who had been wrestling in the dark closed their eyes reflexively.

“Ah Shou, Xu.”

She discovered that Xu had bent his leg and knelt on Zheng Shou’s calf, holding the latter’s wrist with one of his hands to keep him from moving. He held on to Zheng Shou’s nape with his other hand, pinning him to the ground in order to subdue him. And what was Zheng Shou doing at this moment? He was kneeling on the ground and supporting his body by firmly keeping his right hand on the ground. However, his left hand was twisted behind his back. Zheng Shou was desperate to overturn the situation so he was trying his utmost to get rid of Xu’s control.

With the flood of light, the two males stopped their movements and turned to look at her at the same time.

“Xu, let go of him. He’s Zheng Shou.” Yang QiQi said, feeling the rise of a headache: “Ah Shou, this is Xu, the guard sent by the LingWu City’s Saintess Hall to protect me.”

Xu: ‘Of course I know that the male beast who comes here in the middle of the night must either be Nian JiMo or Zheng Shou. And going by his body shape, I’m ninety-eight percent sure this is Zheng Shou. However, he attacked without saying a word. If I didn’t counterattack, wouldn’t I seem to be a pushover?!’

Zheng Shou: ‘When I was on duty, I heard from Tu Jin and his group that the LingWu City’s Saintess Hall had sent a bodyguard for my sweetheart QiQi. That Saintess Hall is too meddlesome. There is already me and that stinky brat Nian JiMo by her side here. Why would she need another bodyguard? …The most important thing is, why did they send a young and handsome male beast instead of an upright and respectable old male? This whole bodyguard thing must be an excuse used to lure QiQi.’ [ Author’s Note: While he was thinking this, Yang QiQi, who was standing on the sidelines, could hear him grinding his teeth. ]

If Bei Qing knew his conjecture, she would definitely be startled: ‘Oh dear. Their HallMaster at the LingWu City’s Saintess Hall had really mentioned that if Female Warrior QiQi really has a great potential as reported, he would do everything possible to ensure that this little female chooses their Saintess Hall when she achieves the red rank. If not, why would he send Xu, a powerful male beast? Seduction or not, it is necessary to obtain a talented Female Warrior.’

“Goodness! It’s my mistake ah, Lord Xu.” Zheng Shou turned his head to look over at the male restraining him and said with a sincere smile, trying to appear as much of a gentleman as he could. “You see, I truly didn’t know you came here to protect QiQi. As soon as I came upstairs and opened the door to QiQi’s room, I felt like someone appeared behind me… I think there was a thief in our house! It’s a mistake, a mistake ah. A really big mistake on my part.”

Xu let go of his hold and stood up. The corners of his lips curled: “Oh, it turned out to be a misunderstanding ah. I heard some movements here so I got up to check. I didn’t expect you to attack me without saying anything, so I had to fight back to defend myself.”

In order to prove that this was really a misunderstanding, the two male beastmen embraced lightly in front of Yang QiQi. However, the sparks exchanged through their eyes expressed something else.

Zheng Shou: ‘Brat, don’t think I don’t know what your little scheme is…’

Xu: ‘So what? Can you stop me? I defeated you already.’

Zheng Shou: (#｀′) 凸!

‘They think this Sister is a fool~’

Yang QiQi grumbled inwardly in her heart while her face quickly filled with a smile. She dragged Zheng Shou into the room with her: “Since it was a misunderstanding, you should go back to your room and sleep.”

“See you tomorrow,” Xu said thoughtfully. He returned to his room and locked the room without further words.

On the other side, Yang QiQi refused to pay any attention to Zheng Shou’s pleading and forced him to take a bath before finally falling asleep. A while later, she heard muffled noises coming from the corridor again. But this time, it was intense and more frequent.

‘Will this never stop?!’
