Although he is committed to being a hard worker, he still has to ensure enough sleep. After all, staying up late can lead to sudden death. Lin Xiaoman doesn't want to die young before his mission is completed.
That day, while Lin Xiaoman was sleeping, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. Lin Xiaoman, who was usually a light sleeper but alert, woke up immediately.
The summoning talisman flashed, and with the appearance of the Fire Spirit Kite, the originally dark room immediately became bright.
With a quick glance, Lin Xiaoman saw a man in black lying on the ground two meters away from his bed. He couldn't see his face clearly, but from his back and the familiar, obviously expensive, mutton-fat jade hair crown on his head...
After thinking for two seconds, Lin Xiaoman remembered.
Wow! That bitch Zhan Yanfang!
As for why this person fell here?
Because of the limited number of people, her close confidant Qinglan was of course left in Xiao Kingdom. It was late at night, and there was no one or summoned beasts to guard her when she slept. Moreover, she was in someone else's territory, so Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but have some paranoid complexes.
What if that little bitch Yun Luoling whispers something in the ear of that pretty boy Shang Chengyu, and that pretty boy sends someone to assassinate her secretly? What should we do?
Therefore, every time before going to bed, Lin Xiaoman would drink a drop of antidote, and then light a super long and powerful intoxicating incense in the room.
Unless it is an old poison that is immune to all poisons, an ordinary person will fall unconscious after taking a few breaths.
Unexpectedly, the assassin failed to poison Zhan Yanfang, but instead poisoned her. Lin Xiaoman sat lazily on the bed, supporting her chin and thinking, should she wake him up?
But... thinking about how he had betrayed his integrity and cheated him out of the dragon bone whip, Lin Xiaoman silently felt a little guilty. He bet a spicy strip that this guy must be here to call for an explanation!
After all, she had said she would wait for him to come back, but ended up standing him up.
But if she didn't wake him up, he would wake up sooner or later! The patrol outside was so strict that she definitely couldn't drag him out by herself. If she used a summoned beast to throw him out, the patrolling imperial guards wouldn't be blind due to the beast's size. If they were to be mistaken for the 'assassin of the War King', she would be caught in the crossfire.
Sighing helplessly, Lin Xiaoman put on her clothes, tidied herself up, walked over to extinguish the Drunken Soul Incense, then took out her bottle of antidote that looked like Fengyoujing, gave an order to Huo Lingyuan, and with a grab of the bird's claws, Zhan Yanfang was turned over.
Squatting beside her, Lin Xiaoman dripped a drop of antidote into Zhan Yanfang, just one drop, never more than half a drop. After dripping, Lin Xiaoman quickly put away her small medicine bottle. This was a panacea-like antidote that she had carefully prepared. One bottle could cure many kinds of poisons!
After putting away the small medicine bottle, Lin Xiaoman also prepared his all-purpose and super-strong aphrodisiac handkerchief, so that if the situation was not right, he could poison the guy again.
Standing up, lighting the candle, and putting away the Fire Spirit Kite, Lin Xiaoman sat down on the stool beside the table and practiced without wasting a minute. Although he had used the antidote, it would still take at least ten minutes for the man to wake up.
As consciousness returned, Zhan Yanfang felt a bit bewildered, wondering, "Who am I? Where am I? What happened?"
The blurred focus gradually became clear, and when he saw the beam above clearly, Zhan Yanfang's thoughts came back to him.
After blocking for three days, I still couldn't catch that little liar. He came here to get into bed, and then... then Zhan Yanfang's face turned black.
He was hit with a club!!
Well, it wasn't a stun blow, but it was similar in nature. In any case, the final result was that he fell to the ground.
Ouch, I’m so embarrassed this time.
Although she felt very embarrassed, but as a thick-skinned person, Zhan Yanfang adjusted her mentality in less than 1 second. Boudoir fun, this is boudoir fun!
Zhan Yanfang stood up calmly. Hearing the rustling of fabric, Lin Xiaoman realized someone had woken up and ended her training. Opening her eyes, she saw Zhan Yanfang, clutching her chest and putting on a flamboyant expression of heartache. "The world is going downhill, people's hearts are not what they used to be. You're murdering your own husband!"
Lin Xiaoman rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, "Even if you are a prince, you can't slander others' innocence with nonsense!"
Husband? Did they get married? Did she admit it?
"I slept with you a long time ago, and you still have your innocence?" Zhan Yanfang's heartbroken expression turned into an evil smile in an instant.
That kind of smile that looks particularly annoying.
"Anyway, I'm still unmarried." Lin Xiaoman retorted righteously. It wasn't her anyway, and sleeping with her husband once was not the same concept.
"Hmph, you're still right." Walking over to the table and sitting next to Lin Xiaoman, Zhan Yanfang put away his smile, slammed the table and said sullenly, "You said you'd wait for me in Xiao Country? Where is he? I'm telling you, if you don't compensate me, this matter will never end!"
As for Zhan Yanfang's expression that almost said 'This baby is angry, this baby needs to be coaxed', Lin Xiaoman just felt... this guy is so childish!
But, could it be that he really likes her?
"Here, I'll return it to you." Lin Xiaoman said in a clear tone, slapping the dragon bone whip on the table.
"What do you mean?" Zhan Yanfang's heart paused, and he stared at the man with his eyes narrowed slightly, his face couldn't help but become a little sharp. Is he trying to distance himself from him?
Could it be... that there is an adulterer?
"What I mean is, I don't want to marry you." Although she felt the low pressure, Lin Xiaoman still spoke to explain, her tone was extremely serious, and her attitude was firm.
Before, it was just the beginning, she was still a weakling, and could only cower under the tyranny of the big villain. But now...
When a man has been away for three days, he should be looked at with new eyes. She is no longer a humble person, but... the Poison Lady! Wahahaha!
When it comes to people against people without summoned beasts, she is so arrogant that she will kill everyone who comes and kill two people together!
With her poison attack, it would not be a problem for her to poison an entire city to death. Of course, she was not such a cruel person.
"Who do you want to marry then?" Zhan Yanfang said coldly. Oh, he must kill that adulterer! And whip his corpse!
"No one, I just don't want to get married and be trapped in the backyard." Lin Xiaoman shook her head and explained.
The East Continent is set in an ancient context, where men are superior to women. Women strictly follow the evil rule of "obey your father at home and obey your husband after marriage". Although the restrictions on female summoners are smaller, they are only smaller. Married female summoners still have to abide by the rule of "obey your husband".
"You're really not in love with someone else?" Zhan Yanfang asked, raising an eyebrow. She felt a little better. As long as there was no adultery, everything else could be discussed.
"First, there's no love, so there's no such thing as transference. Secondly, there's no such thing as another love. I don't even have time to cultivate, so how can I have time for romantic conversations?"
After hearing Lin Xiaoman admit that she did not have an affair with her husband, Zhan Yanfang's mood immediately brightened up again. Oh, there was a small dark cloud.
There is another meaning in this sentence. It is telling him that she has no feelings for him!
