Chapter 211 Sand Cave
Baili Yicheng was caught off guard, but Mu Jianjian's attack brought him back to his senses. He sneered, "You didn't take the medicine from that day?"
"It's none of your business." Mu Jianjian was about to lift the flower hairpin again when the other person grabbed her hand.
His right hand trembled slightly as he tried to push down, but he still couldn't resist Baili Yicheng's brute force.
"You think you can do this?" Baili Yicheng twisted her hand, not moving an inch. "This young master has always liked obedient women. I advise you not to be ungrateful."
Mu Jianjian met his lewd eyes and felt a wave of nausea, but at the same time, a sense of powerlessness rose within her.
Even though Baili Yicheng was only at the advanced Foundation Establishment stage, thanks to the pills the shopkeeper had used to boost his cultivation, it was enough to render her unable to move.
If he wanted her dead now, it would be as easy as crushing an ant, unless…
"As long as you behave, I will treat you well for the sake of your face." Baili Yicheng lifted her chin, trying to see the despair in the girl's eyes, but when he met her gaze, he found only calmness in her eyes.
Like a calm, still sea, it is quiet and serene.
"Go to hell!" As Mu Jianjian's voice fell, her right pupil flickered with a faint starlight, and countless phantom butterflies appeared in the air, forming a thin line between the two of them. She dropped the hairpin in her right hand and grabbed it with her left hand, slashing fiercely at the other's neck!
As long as you seize the opportunity suggested by the pupil-changing technique, you can create a glimmer of hope!
"Pfft—"
Baili Yicheng couldn't dodge back in time, and a bloody mark was quickly slashed across his face. If it weren't for the magical artifact that the old man had given him to protect him, the wound would probably have landed on his neck!
If you can tolerate being hurt once, how can you tolerate being hurt a second time?
With two sharp cracks, he coldly twisted the girl's arm, dislocating it, and kicked her to the ground.
Mu Jianjian was panting heavily on the ground. Her black hair had been scattered all over the ground during the fight, and the mess made the girl look even more fragile and pitiful.
“Do you know that when I told your master about your recent situation, he didn’t pay any attention at all?” Baili Yicheng lifted Mu Jianjian’s chin and raised the Chaomu hairpin he had snatched from her hand with his right hand. “You stood up for her from beginning to end, but Yun Rong doesn’t care about you at all.”
"You're just a whore from the Red Chamber, what are you trying to prove by putting on a chastity arch in front of me, young master? In that respect, you two are quite alike." Baili Yicheng felt the warm blood flowing down his face, and with his right hand, he gripped the hairpin and slashed it down at the girl's face.
"Kara—"
The sound of flesh tearing rang out. Despite suffering the pain of disfigurement, Mu Jianjian said calmly, "You were upset outside, and you vented your anger on a woman with no cultivation. You are the worst of the worst."
After speaking, she lowered her eyes gently, concealing the strange look in them.
Baili Yicheng is a man who values his reputation the most and holds grudges the most. If we provoke him with words now, we can probably prevent him from making any advances towards her.
"Fine, fine." Baili Yicheng repeated "fine" twice, his face so dark it was almost dripping with water. He then roared, "Guards!"
Mu Jianjian's chin was violently thrown, and her whole body fell to the side due to inertia. She braced herself with her hands and slowly touched her cheeks.
Hmm... one cut on the left cheek and two on the right cheek, I don't know if they'll heal in the future...
Girls love beauty, after all. Even though Mu Jianjian angered the other party without considering the consequences, she still felt very sorry for the disfigurement.
The face after transmigrating into the book is much prettier than the face in the previous life. It would be a great pity if the disfigurement was not corrected by herbal medicine.
"Clang clang clang—" After Baili Yicheng called for help, three guards quickly entered the room and knelt before him.
"Take her away and kill her." Baili Yicheng's voice was indifferent, as if killing was commonplace for him. Just as he was about to add something, a melodious female voice rang out from the courtyard outside, "Young Master, may I come in?"
Baili Yicheng raised an eyebrow. "Come in."
As he finished speaking, a woman dressed in a brocade dress and with elegant makeup appeared at the door.
Shi Dong walked carefully to Mu Jianjian's side. The two were dressed neatly while Mu Jianjian was disheveled, and their faces were rosy and pale, creating a stark contrast.
She was visibly surprised by the scene before her. "Young Master, what are you doing? Isn't this the newest sister from the Red Mansion?"
Baili Yicheng didn't want to talk much, but he was quite pleased with the adoring look Shi Dong was giving him. He snorted and said nothing more.
"Why is Young Master so angry? In my opinion, it's not worth getting angry over other people," Shi Dong walked to Baili Yicheng's side with delicate steps, her slender hands hooking around his waist. "Did my sister do something?"
"She injured this young master and doesn't even know proper manners. She's nothing but a lowly woman." The wounds on Baili Yicheng's face and arms had long since disappeared due to the consumption of high-grade pills, leaving only a faint scar.
"Young Master is injured?" Shi Dong held Baili Yicheng's hands in her hands, her eyes glistening with tears. "It's because Dong'er arrived too late, otherwise Dong'er would have definitely sacrificed herself to protect Young Master."
“You’re so sensible,” Baili Yicheng’s earlier anger had long since vanished. He was quite pleased to hear the caring words from the beauty in his arms. He lifted Shi Dong’s chin and said, “Take her away and kill her.”
Listening to the two's greasy and disgusting back-and-forth conversation, Mu Jianjian finally heard Baili Yicheng's final verdict on her.
It's pretty good.
These three guards were not highly skilled; they only had one dislocated hand. After she left the room, she immediately used the holy lake water in the system space to heal them and then killed the person who executed her guards.
Moreover, she had already studied the routes taken by the guards patrolling Baili Yicheng's residence over the past few days. Although it was somewhat difficult, she was still 70% confident.
Her appearance was pitiful, but this was actually her escape route!
Shi Dong may seem like a beautiful and kind-hearted older sister, but you can't judge a book by its cover. Mu Jianjian doesn't believe that Shi Dong just happened to arrive by chance; she probably came at the perfect moment to embarrass her.
A power struggle in the backyard?
It doesn't look like it.
“But this is too cruel, young master,” Shi Dong pulled Baili Yicheng’s hand away. “My sister is still so young, how can I bear to let her die in front of me?”
"Dong'er, you're too kind. You can't be this kind. What if you get bullied if I'm not around?" Baili Yicheng said softly, his voice filled with pity.
"Dong'er won't leave the young master." Shi Dong's face flushed, showing a shy and bashful expression.
Mu Jianjian almost vomited up her dinner from last night while listening to their conversation.
"Then what does Dong'er think we should do?" Baili Yicheng asked.
“Young Master can send my sister into the sand cave. That way, she will naturally understand your kindness and learn the rules.” Shi Dong concealed a hint of smugness in his eyes.
How could we let this woman die like this?
Her master entrusted her with his life to protect her. If she died, she would become a stain on her master's heart, and the blame would fall on her. If she were thrown into the sand pit, it would be different. She wondered if her master would still give her the corner of her eye after her body became unclean.
