CHAPTER 75: CHAPTER 75: PEI SHU’ER, WHERE DID HE TOUCH YOU?

Pei Shu’er said: "If I really attacked the government officer, then I should kill you right now. You choose, do you want to live or die?"

Pei Shu’er snatched Xu Jia’s saber and seeing Xu Jia stubbornly not answering, she raised the saber and stabbed Xu Jia six times.

Each stab was a light wound!

Fear filled Xu Jia’s eyes, yet he said: "You dare, if I don’t return soon, just wait to be executed by other government officers."

Pei Shu’er sneered coldly and continued to stab fifteen more times.

Again, each stab was a light wound!

But Pei Shu’er’s ruthless stance while stabbing instilled so much fear in Xu Jia that he wet himself.

Xu Jia quickly gritted his teeth and said: "I want to live! I want to live!"

Pei Shu’er said coldly: "Don’t think about me in the future. If I arrive safely at Gulan Mountain, then I’ll give you medicine for treatment, ensuring you are full of life and vigor, even better than before."

She paused, her eyes sharp, making Xu Jia shiver.

"Otherwise, you’ll be a eunuch for the rest of your life."

No man wants to be a eunuch.

No one!

Pei Shu’er felt her threat was enough.

But the nauseating feeling clinging to her wouldn’t go away.

She kicked Xu Jia several times in anger, deciding that it was enough and intended to leave.

Just as she turned, she saw Tang Zan standing ahead.

He stood tall against the light, his body straight like a poplar tree, surrounded by an aura so dense it seemed tangible.

Pei Shu’er couldn’t see Tang Zan’s expression clearly, only knew his mood was not good.

Tang Zan stepped beside Pei Shu’er, looking at Xu Jia lying in a puddle of blood, and still felt unsatisfied.

He snorted coldly, drew a dagger from his sleeve, and quickly and fiercely thrust it toward the government officer’s neck.

Xu Jia begged desperately: "Young Master, don’t, don’t kill me. If you kill me, Pei Shu’er will be in trouble."

Tang Zan’s expression became colder.

"Do I have to be threatened by a dog’s threat even if I kill a dog?"

As he spoke, the dagger pierced the government officer’s neck.

He controlled the measure well—enough to break the skin and cause pain, but not near the major artery, leaving life unaffected.

Tang Zan said coldly: "If you want to play tricks on us, feel free. I guarantee you won’t even get a chance, and you’d already be dead."

The government officer trembled at Tang Zan’s gaze; he was actually timid inside, now truly feeling the presence of death, instantly dared not speak further.

Tang Zan’s eyes were dark and full of murderous intent; he felt for a moment that he was really going to die.

Yet perhaps Tang Zan was concerned about something, hence did not strike.

The government officer, clutching his neck, quickly said: "I understand. I won’t speak recklessly. Tonight, nothing happened; my neck was bitten by a wolf."

Tang Zan kicked the government officer over; the officer could only see Tang Zan’s perfectly shaped chin and those coldly curved lips.

At this moment, Tang Zan seemed like a deity holding power over life and death.

He looked at Pei Shu’er and asked gravely, "Pei Shu’er, where did he touch you?"

Pei Shu’er dared not say; she always felt that if she said Xu Jia held her waist, then this perverse Tang Zan might strip the skin off her waist?

She immediately shook her head: "No."

Tang Zan’s eyes flashed coldly, with an imposing presence like an arrogant judge.

Step by step, he stepped on Xu Jia’s two hands, making the bones crack sharply.

All hand bones shattered.

The government officer was too pained to utter a sound. When Tang Zan stopped his violence, his hands were crippled, flattened like pancakes.

He immediately clutched his hands in agony, unable to make a sound.

Tang Zan kicked the man’s spine heavily.

"Get out of my sight."

The government officer dared not stay longer, eager to distance himself from this Yama.

His heart remained unwilling, thinking only of Pei Shu’er.

Pei Shu’er, Pei Shu’er.

Such a beautiful Pei Shu’er, he still wants to have her.

He is unwilling.

After the man left, only then did Tang Zan turn his gaze toward Pei Shu’er.

He noticed her disheveled hair, pale face, even tears at the corner of her eyes, which were physiological tears from knocking her knee just now.

Tang Zan’s heart was angry enough to kill, even after restraining himself several times, wanting to be kinder to Pei Shu’er.

But his words still carried a tinge of cynical snark.

"Pei Shu’er, are you willing to submit to such trash?"

"I didn’t know he’d do that." Pei Shu’er shook her head.

She unconsciously approached Tang Zan slightly, and the dizziness subsided.

This medicine is truly effective!

This action pleased Tang Zan.

Then Tang Zan smelled the scent on Pei Shu’er from the officer, frowning involuntarily.

Tang Zan pulled Pei Shu’er into his arms; he exerted quite a bit of force.

Pei Shu’er’s nose hit his hard chest, triggering physiological tears.

He took off his coat, threw it over Pei Shu’er’s head, and spoke coldly to her.

"Put it on, it’s so foul."

Her body lost that floral scent.

Pei Shu’er said nothing, changed clothes, and Tang Zan’s face looked slightly better.

But there was still displeasure in his expression.

Pei Shu’er thought, probably the reason for Tang Zan’s displeasure is...

Damn, cuckolded again.

Tang Zan leaned close to Pei Shu’er, carefully examining her face.

He gripped her chin with his large hand, finally unable to resist wiping away her tears with his fingers.

He wiped a little forcefully, seeing Pei Shu’er’s skin redden, he eased his strength.

But his expression remained teeth-gritting, as if wanting to devour someone.

After drying her tears, Tang Zan’s hands clenched slightly at his side.

His palms remained warm and moist.

From Pei Shu’er’s tears.

He stood half a meter behind Pei Shu’er, his eyes filled with severity.

When Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan returned to the location, Tang Zan noticed a bloodstain on Pei Shu’er’s skirt.

He opened his mouth, about to ask, but saw Pei Shu’er deftly raise her trouser leg.

On her fair knee was a wound the size of half a palm, she handled her injury deftly.

Then, thinking of propriety between men and women, Tang Zan turned away.

This time they returned, they weren’t questioned by government officers, even Xu Jia, who previously tried to flirt with Pei Shu’er, dared not glance their way.

Only then did Pei Shu’er recall that Xu Jia seemed always to pay attention to her.

And constantly lingered around her.

Pei Shu’er frowned, suddenly wondering if Xu Jia was the one in the original story who assaulted the original owner?

But it was the people from the main house who sent her there first, giving this Xu Jia the chance?

Could it be that Xu Jia first took a liking to her and then found the main house people?

Or maybe the main house people noticed others’ interest in Pei Shu’er and seized the opportunity?

In any case, was the assault on "Pei Shu’er" a necessary plot in the story?

Thinking of this, Pei Shu’er felt a headache.

This transmigration into a book is such a trap.
