CHAPTER 104: CHAPTER 104: I’LL HANDLE THIS MYSELF!

"Bang!"

A noise echoed from the room, the sound of shattering cups and saucers, followed by a sharp voice: "Failure? Failed again? Haha, asking you to handle a task, and you fail again and again?"

"Miss, it is my incompetence. Please punish me!"

"Punish? Zhuifeng, if it weren’t for your years of service, I’d already have you commit seppuku to atone!"

"Bang!"

The door was kicked open, and a youthful girl aged fifteen or sixteen rushed out, glaring furiously at him, roaring, "You didn’t succeed in defiling her nor let Mr. Pei witness it, failed to assassinate her man, and now, you haven’t even succeeded in branding her as a traitor’s son, a crime punishable by death... Tell me, what use are you?"

"Miss, it is due to my incompetence! Please give me another chance, this time I will definitely succeed!"

Zhuifeng knocked his head against the ground, then suddenly thought of something and raised his head quickly, "Miss, why not let me assassinate her in secret, wouldn’t that solve everything?"

Zhuifeng believed his proposal was fine, but it was met with a fierce slap, "Foolish! Are you a stupid pig? If she could be assassinated directly, why would we go through all this trouble? Not to mention, her martial skills are good, ordinary assassins can’t get close, just consider Mr. Pei... If she were assassinated, his heart would surely harbor guilt, would he still whole-heartedly accept me?"

The girl mentioned Mr. Pei, her eyes showing a fleeting softness, but it was soon replaced by harshness.

"Pei Jinheng! The only man I truly love in my life, yet why does he care only for Pang Longyue, that bitch? Even if I successfully framed her, he still thinks of her fondly! Why?

No...not only him, but the Crown Prince also...he favored her greatly, even once considering taking her as his concubine. If it weren’t for that incident, he would have proceeded! You lousy men, why do you all desire her? Is she really that great?"

The girl spoke of concealing her indignation, her jealousy blazing in her eyes, gritting her teeth in hatred, "Haha, is it because she’s beautiful? Yes, she’s beautiful, the most beautiful lady in the Capital City, you superficial and vulgar men!"

"Miss, I think you are the most beautiful! You are the most beautiful woman in the whole world!"

With excitement and enthusiasm, Zhuifeng raised his head and spoke, but realizing staring at the Miss seemed inappropriate, he quickly lowered it again.

There was a trace of melancholy in his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly pressed, showing some reluctance.

The girl turned her gaze toward him, a bit more warmth in her eyes, "You say I’m the most beautiful?"

"Yes, Miss is the most beautiful woman in the world, I...I think you are as beautiful as a celestial fairy!"

"I am the most beautiful woman..." Pang Shuangyue gently caressed her fine, smooth cheek, her slender finger tracing her curved brows and eyes, muttering to herself, gradually smiling, eyes softening.

"Indeed...once that bitch is dead, I will be the Capital City’s number one beauty...I will be adored by everyone, just like she was, Mr. Pei...he will surely look at me more, then discover my qualities, and be devoted to me..."

"Miss..."

Zhuifeng looked up, seeing Pang Shuangyue sunk deep in self-adoration, with disappointment in his eyes, which gradually turned into despair, then determination!

If the Miss needs it, I will surely help her obtain it, perhaps she will glance at me too?

A glance, just one glance, I would die without regrets!

Zhuifeng thought this, suddenly bowing again, "Miss, please give me another chance, if I don’t succeed, I shall sacrifice myself!"

Zhuifeng’s voice brought Pang Shuangyue out from her reverie, she said faintly, "This matter, you don’t need to intervene anymore."

"Miss!"

Zhuifeng panicked, is the Miss planning to abandon him? No, no! He would rather be forever like a dog by her side, even if it meant being a begging dog wagging its tail, he would be willing, without complaint or regret! Miss, don’t drive me away!

He roared in his heart, his expression extremely tense, just as he felt his spirit might snap, Pang Shuangyue spoke again, "This matter, I will handle personally. As for you...there are other tasks I have for you, go and do them!"

"Miss, I don’t wish to leave you..."

"Handle this matter, and all will be forgiven!"

Pang Shuangyue glanced at him calmly, rarely showing a smile, making Zhuifeng, who felt he was plunging into an abyss, suddenly feel like he was rising to heaven, quickly bowing, "Miss, please give the command, I will definitely complete it!"

"Take this and go!"

Pang Shuangyue handed him a letter, then turned back into the room.

There was no movement inside afterward, Zhuifeng stayed kneeling for a long time, waiting but hearing nothing more, reluctantly leaving.

After he left, Pang Shuangyue finally couldn’t hold back her anger, smashing plates and bowls onto the ground.

"Pang Longyue, bitch! You’ve survived danger time and again, but now that I’m handling it personally, let’s see if you can escape!"
