Chapter 78: Confused and Lost in Love
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao Lang began to worry about Xue Qingrou. The person before him was unpredictable in her emotions, and if he was not careful, she would go to extremes.
Xue Qingrou was furious. She had never imagined that Xiaoyao Lang was such a person. She thought he was a virtuous gentleman, but unexpectedly, he was also involved with Jing San Niang.
Having made up his mind, Xiaoyao Lang declared boldly, "This woman's beauty is nowhere near as good as yours, yet you are so jealous of her. Why not release her to avoid spoiling our mood?"
Xiaoyao Lang's change made Jing San Niang quite uncomfortable. She believed that Xiaoyao Lang and women must have a very close relationship.
Jing San Niang laughed and said, "My lord, stop hiding it from me. This woman threatened to kill you, but you lied for her and repeatedly asked me to release her. I have already guessed the nature of your relationship."
Xiaoyao Lang coldly replied, "She and I have no relationship."
Jing San Niang said softly, "My lord, to be honest, although she is your wife, I will not harm her in the slightest. Your magnanimity towards her shows how deep your feelings are. As long as you marry me, I will no longer make things difficult for her."
Xiaoyao Lang declared boldly, "Since that's the case, then release her, and I'll agree!"
Upon hearing this, Jing San Niang asked skeptically, "Is what you say true? Why were you so cold to me just now?"
Xiaoyao Lang laughed and said, "Since you know I value relationships, you know I am not a promiscuous person. I do not understand your heart, so I will not have any illusions about you. Just now you took a sword for me, which shows that you are sincere to me. Third Sister, let her go!" Xiaoyao Lang was very conflicted when he called out to Third Sister.
Sweet words work because of human weaknesses. Even if it's a lie, people who are serious about relationships often find it hard to tell the difference. And so, Jing San Niang believed it.
Upon hearing this, Jing San Niang's face lit up with joy, and she waved her hand to untie Xue Qingrou's acupoint.
Xue Qingrou, already suffering from internal injuries and having had her acupoints pressed for a long time, had her meridians blocked and her breathing unstable. Now that her acupoints were released, she coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed.
Seeing this, Xiaoyao Lang hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and whispered, "Can you still hold on? Let's go to Qingyun Inn."
Xue Qingrou understood and nodded.
Xiaoyao Lang angrily asked, "How could he do this? Did you poison him?"
Jing San Niang said aggrievedly, "You were there the whole time, how could I have done anything underhanded? She is in this state because her internal injuries are too severe and her meridians are blocked by acupuncture points."
Xiaoyao Langyan said, "In that case, I will send her away and find a doctor."
Seeing this, Jing San Niang blocked her way with her sword and said coldly, "You're trying to deceive me again. My patience has its limits. Before I change my mind, let her go quickly."
Seeing her cold expression, Xiaoyao Lang dared not say anything more, walked to the table, and sat down.
Xue Qingrou clutched her chest, dragged herself out of the room, and headed towards Qingyun Inn.
Jing San Niang sheathed her sword and said with a smile, "Today we shall consummate our marriage!"
Xiaoyao Lang stood up and said, "No, since you want to marry and I want to marry you, then it must be a proper ceremony with a bridal sedan chair to welcome you into the bridal chamber, only then will it be in accordance with propriety."
Hearing this, Jing San Niang laughed so hard her body trembled, and said softly, "My lord, you are truly amusing. Do you know where you are, and who I am? How dare you speak to me about etiquette!"
Xiaoyao Lang said arrogantly, "I know this is a place of pleasure and entertainment, and I know you are Jing San Niang. But as beautiful and intelligent as you are, why have you fallen so low and are willing to stay in this place of smoke and clouds?"
Upon hearing this, Jing San Niang said leisurely, "In the end, you still despise me and care that I am a woman from the world of prostitution." As she spoke, she stared at Xiao Yao Lang.
Seeing her sorrow, Xiaoyao Lang stepped forward and embraced her, declaring boldly, "How could that be! The outward appearances of people, their power, fame, and fortune, are ultimately nothing but emptiness!"
Upon hearing this, Jing San Niang burst into tears. Just then, Xiao Yao Lang snatched her sword and pointed it directly at her!
Seeing this, Jing San Niang smiled bitterly and said, "Is this what you intended?!"
The carefree rogue said, "There is no way for us to be together. I already have Chan'er and Linglong, and I will never love another woman."
Jing San Niang smiled bitterly and said, "Is that so? Then just kill me! What are you hesitating for?" As she spoke, she attacked and tried to seize the sword.
With his sword in hand, Xiaoyao Lang unleashed his power, launching swift and fierce attacks. Lai Hejing Sanniang knew he had no internal energy, so she focused her strength on protecting her hands and forcefully parried the blade.
With the sword cut off, Xiaoyao Lang could barely move it. He pushed with all his might, but it wouldn't go any further. At that moment, Jing San Niang smiled slightly at him, suddenly released her grip, and thrust the sword in, piercing straight into his left chest.
Xiaoyao Lang was dumbfounded and asked leisurely, "Why did you let go?"
Jing San Niang laughed and said, "Since you want to kill me so badly, I will do as you wish and die by your hand. That way, I will have found my place and you will remember me for the rest of your life!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao Lang's heart softened, but he still drew his sword fiercely and shouted, "Impossible!"
The sword was pulled out, and blood flowed freely. Jing San Niang covered her wound and sat down at the table. Xiao Yao Lang threw down his sword and rushed forward to bandage her wound.
Jing San Niang gazed at him tenderly. Seeing that the wound wasn't deep and was far from his heart, Xiao Yao Lang knew it wasn't serious. After bandaging it, he turned and left, coldly saying, "We are not meant to be. Take care of yourself!"
As Xiaoyao Lang reached the door, Jing Sanniang called out, "My lord! Even if we are not destined to be together, would you please have a drink with me?"
Xiaoyao Lang turned his head and looked at Jing San Niang, who was crying.
Jing San Niang said with a wry smile, "Just one cup!"
Xiaoyao Lang felt a pang of sorrow, immediately stepped forward, picked up his wine cup, and drank it all in one gulp. Just as he turned around, his acupoints were sealed again.
Jing San Niang stood up, walked to him, and said with a bitter smile, "My lord, in this life and the next, you cannot escape my heart. My feelings for you will never be forgotten!" As she spoke, she breathed out from her red lips, her slender fingers twirling, directly seducing Xiaoyao Langxie's heart.
Xiaoyao Lang suddenly felt his body heat up and his mind become confused. It seemed that gas was being produced in his internal organs, and for a moment, blood flowed through all his meridians, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Despite her injuries, Xue Qingrou arrived at Qingyun Inn, where she happened to run into Xie Yunfeng and Chunxiang.
Seeing this, Xie Yunfeng hurriedly stepped forward to help her up and asked, "Miss Xue, how did you get so badly injured? Quickly, let me help you into your room to heal."
Xue Qingrou said weakly, "Xiaoyao Lang is at Yanyang Tower with... with Jing Sanniang. He is in danger."
Xie Yunfeng: "Brother Xiaoyao Lang! Chunxiang, hurry up and call Junior Sister!"
Chunxiang: "Okay!" and then quickly left.
A moment later, Murong Hanchan and Yu Linglong left the room together.
Murong Hanchan hurriedly asked, "What happened to Brother Xiaoyao? Where is he?"
Xue Qingrou: "He is at Yanyang Tower."
Upon hearing this, Murong Hanchan exclaimed in surprise, "Yanyang Tower! How could he go to a place like that!" She then turned and hurried towards Yanyang Tower.
Seeing that Xue Qingrou was seriously injured, Yu Linglong used her internal energy to help her heal, and after a short while, she improved.
Xue Qingrou smiled and said, "Thank you!"
Yu Linglong smiled and said, "It was nothing. My lord is in danger, I have to go to Yanyang Tower!"
At this moment, Yin Xiaosheng also opened the door and came out. When he heard that Xiaoyao Lang was at Yanyang Tower, he was completely convinced that Xiaoyao Lang was a hypocrite.
After thinking for a moment, Yin Xiaosheng said, "Miss Yu, you probably don't know Xiaoyao Lang's character very well. In fact, he is a hypocrite who has been deceiving your feelings all along!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yunfeng asked in surprise, "Junior brother, why do you speak of Brother Xiaoyao like that?"
Yu Linglong was very puzzled and said calmly, "Young Master Yin, what is wrong with Yu Lang's behavior that makes you speak like this?"
Yin Xiaosheng smiled and said, "This morning, I saw with my own eyes that he and the proprietress were embracing on the railing, their affections intertwined. Proprietress, is this true?" After saying that, he looked at the proprietress beside him.
The proprietress, elegant and intelligent, smiled upon hearing Yin Xiaosheng's words and said, "What you say, young master, is not entirely true. I twisted my ankle while walking in the stairwell. Young master Xiaoyao saw this and kindly helped me up, but unexpectedly, it caused you to misunderstand!"
Yin Xiaosheng laughed and said, "At the time, I already had this thought, so I didn't tell my junior sister about it. Who knew that his carefree and unrestrained nature would be stirred up again, and he actually went to Yan Yang Lou. Is such behavior the behavior of a virtuous gentleman?"
