226: Chapter 78 Am I Bad_1 226: Chapter 78 Am I Bad_1 After the departure of father and son Hu, Jiang Wang strolled leisurely for a few steps, his composure undisturbed.
He had felt Hu Shaong’s eagerness and restraint, which pleased him greatly.
The many things he did were for fear that there wouldn’t be any ripples on their side, which would undoubtedly prove his ideas wrong.
Contrary to Jiang Wang’s relaxed mood, Zhu Bijing’s tears were streaming down in strings, unstoppable.
Though inexperienced in life, she was aware that the world contained bad people and misdeeds.
She also understood how terrifying it was for soone as immobile as herself to fall into the hands of a man with dubious intentions.
But she knew, there was no one left to protect her.
Her sister who had always stood in front of her, shielding her from storms… had left forever.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk,” Jiang Wang intentionally walked in front of her, watching her watery eyes, clicking his tongue.
The girl had a pair of apricot-shaped eyes that looked exceedingly vivid and pitiful when filled with tears.
Jiang Wang looked at her with amusent and said, “How about it, now you know who the bad guy is?”
With his laugh, with his question,
Zhu Bijing almost fainted from crying.
He still laughed lasciviously, still asked who the bad guy was!
What kind of supre lecher was this?
All the secret stories of the martial world and the strange tales told by her senior sisters at midnight flooded back to her in this instant.
“What’s wrong, revealing the true face of your Brother Hu made you this upset?” Seeing the girl cry so pitifully, Jiang Wang was completely baffled.
Zhu Bijing was naive, but not stupid.
By now, of course, she had also completely seen through that Hu Shaong was no good.
Despite his florid words, under Jiang Wang’s slightest pressure, he did not hesitate to abandon her.
How sincere could such a person be towards her sister?
No wonder her sister spent her days in tears, such a beast in human skin!
But…
Compared to settling scores with that scum, what’s most terrifying is still this lecher before .
What should I do?
What will he do to ?
He still pretends to be innocent, feigns confusion!
Zhu Bijing was both scared and afraid, her thoughts in turmoil, not noticing that Jiang Wang had lazily perford a hand gesture, releasing her constraints.
She struggled fiercely, and suddenly feeling a loosening on her body, without ti to think, she instinctively threw out a groin kick.
Her legs, though not long, were well proportioned and strong, very aesthetically pleasing.
Of course, the precondition for being aesthetically pleasing was that such a leg had not stopped at such an embarrassing position.
Jiang Wang imperceptibly moved back, allowing his vitals to stay clear of the fierce kick.
Remaining calm on the surface, but inwardly, his back was cold.
If not for his quick response…
“I freed you, yet you attack ?” Jiang Wang’s voice took on a chilly edge.
Cold sweat broke out all over him, it was difficult for him not to feel cold.
Zhu Bijing was once again bound by the immobilizing technique, her whole body posed as if in a one-legged stance.
No, to be precise, it resembled the stance of a rooster thrusting its leg.
By now she also realized she might have made a misunderstanding, but unable to speak, she could only blink her large eyes, trying hard to plead for rcy without words.
Remarkably, Jiang Wang seed to understand her intention.
“Can we talk without physical actions?” Jiang Wang asked.
Zhu Bijing blinked her eyes again, indicating agreent.
The expressiveness of a person’s eyes could convey so much, which was sothing new even for Jiang Wang.
With rely a thought, the rebellious wood energy within Zhu Bijing returned to its place, the five elents balanced, and she was suddenly freed from her constraints.
She didn’t attempt to strike again, but still kept a wary distance from Jiang Wang.
Her tears had not dried, but she worked hard to appear mature and brave, “You forcibly kept here, what do you want to do?”
“I don’t want to do anything.
Keeping you here is just so I don’t have to see you deceived before my eyes.
To let you understand Hu Shaong’s true nature.
Of course, to give more opportunities to observe Hu Shaong, you’ll need to stay here a few days.
Don’t ask why I want to observe Hu Shaong, that has nothing to do with you.”
Zhu Bijing contemplated for a mont, “A few days?”
“Not too long,” Jiang Wang smiled, “Of course, during this ti you’ll sleep with my maid.”
Seeing Zhu Bijing’s eyes beco sowhat panicked, Jiang Wang added, “Rest assured, my maid doesn’t sleep with .”
…Why does this explanation feel even more strange?
Zhu Bijing, after all, had realized that Jiang Wang had no ill intentions.
After thinking for a while, she suddenly said, “Can I ask you a question?”
“Ask away.”
“The secret technique you used to restrain earlier, what was it?”
Jiang Wang: …
Miss, aren’t you being a bit too casual?
You know it’s a secret technique and still asking?
This is a secretly transmitted Dao Technique!
If this were to happen in so desolate wilderness, this kind of question would usually be the start of a deadly fight.
Seeing that Jiang Wang didn’t respond, Zhu Bijing directly took out a treasure bead enveloped in misty clouds from her sleeve: “If you can teach , I can exchange this for it!”
The bead was exceptionally round and smooth, its luster subtly concealed.
But upon a closer look, one could see the changing clouds within the bead, at tis bustling with people, at tis with rivers flowing through mountains.
Truly it was a rare treasure.
Fearing Jiang Wang wouldn’t recognize its worth, she also took the ti to explain: “This is a Shell Pearl, a treasure only the Sea Tower possesses, extrely precious.
Even within the Sea Tower, it’s very rare, to the extent that even Hu Shaong doesn’t have one.
My hidden tracks before were all thanks to this treasure.
If it wasn’t for my own slip-up, you wouldn’t have been able to find at all!”
This child…
Is really too naive.
Her thoughts are plainly written on her face, a straight arrow through and through.
She seems to have completely forgotten that her life and death are still in sobody else’s hands, still thinking about a fair trade.
She just carelessly took out the Shell Pearl, without ever considering whether Jiang Wang might kill her for it.
But Jiang Wang then thought, that woman nad Su Yao who was still alive, must have protected her little sister very well.
That’s why she could remain so pure and unaware of the dangers of the world.
Jiang Wang didn’t instantly respond, but instead called out: “Xiao Xiao!
Miss Zhu will be sharing a room with you for the next few days, help her settle in.”
Ever since Hu You and the Zhongxuan Clan people arrived, Xiao Xiao had been hiding in her room, listening attentively to the commotion outside.
Upon hearing the order, she hurriedly ran out, and when she got to the hall, she respectfully said, “Miss Zhu, please co this way.”
“Hey!
Are you really not going to trade?” Zhu Bijing asked while walking, still addressing Jiang Wang.
The Shell Pearl itself had the capability to hide and move stealthily, and Jiang Wang had a need for that at the mont.
He was certainly tempted.
Moreover, the Shell Pearl could greatly enhance illusion techniques and would complent his mastered Dao Technique, the Flower Sea beautifully.
But the Dao Technique to restrain the tiger had been given to him by Zhongxuan Sheng.
Just because Zhongxuan Sheng took the trouble to assemble these secretly transmitted Dao Techniques for Jiang Wang, it didn’t an he was willing to let these techniques spread all over.
Jiang Wang couldn’t make this decision without his consent.
“One last question!” At this mont, Zhu Bijing had already walked to the courtyard, she suddenly turned back and asked, “Why did you help ?”
She was referring to helping her see Hu Shaong’s true nature.
It was just an occasional act of goodwill.
Jiang Wang did not want to portray himself as so sort of saint, nor did he want this overly naive girl to believe that there were many good people in this world.
“If I must find a reason…
perhaps it’s because I also have a sister.”
He could identify with the feeling of wanting to protect his sister, not letting her be sullied by even a speck of dust.
Back in Fenglin City, he diligently cultivated and accompanied her every day, precisely because he feared his sister would endure the slightest grievance.
At this mont, he even regretted not getting to know that female cultivator from Diao Hai Building better outside the Heavenly Abode Secret Land.
He also wondered what she had encountered inside the Heavenly Abode Secret Land, who had been responsible for her death.
Zhu Bijing pursed her lips and said no more.
…
At this mont, Jiang Wang suddenly really wanted to write a letter to Anan, he had so many things he wanted to say to her, so much care and advice.
But Yun He was still en route to Yun Country and had not returned.
He could only let out a light sigh in the end.
Returning to his room, he continued to practice White Tiger, a matter of gradual progress, and since body refinent wasn’t his forte, he could only patiently wait for the final step of the union of the four spirits.
Then there was the ridian Rush Practice, a daily routine of morning and evening sessions.
He went on to refine his Dao Techniques further: the Crown of Thorns, Flower Sea, Restrain Tiger…
Followed by cleansing the Heaven and Earth Gate.
It was a cycle, day after day.
He had to beco stronger, even stronger.
He didn’t want to end up like Su Yao, dead one day without warning, leaving Jiang Anan to face the cruel world unprepared.
