Sisi laboriously supported the drunken Zhao Changhe back to the guest residence and threw him onto the bed.
As a result, Zhao Changhe was so heavy that his arm, following the motion, wrapped around her, pulling her onto the bed and pinning her down solidly.
Sisi, furious, struggled violently, "I said I was just here to do chores and rest, not to serve in bed!"
Zhao Changhe feigned the manner of a drunk, deliberately nuzzling his mouth against her face and lips, mumbling unclearly, "The master wouldn’t cheat you, little maid..."
Sisi struggled, blocking his mouth with her hand, "I heard you were a hero! How can you also humiliate us poor folks!"
Zhao Changhe, feigning confusion, was spoken to a state of real bewilderment, "Where did you hear I was a hero, doesn’t the whole world call me a bandit..."
Sisi seemed to realize her slip of the tongue and resumed her struggle, as if searching her mind for an excuse.
Zhao Changhe found it amusing and intentionally teased, "Anyway, aren’t you little maids always thinking about seducing young masters... why the sudden integrity?"
Sisi retorted angrily, "Are you going to ask the young master to take me, and then I’ll follow you?" Read full story at novelFirｅ.net
Zhao Changhe was taken aback.
Sisi’s struggled grew more vigorous, "It’s just to play and then abandon, played in vain, have you ever considered what will become of us after!"
Zhao Changhe asked, "What will become?"
"We maids also want to stay pure, whether being fancied by some young master and taken into his residence, or matched by the master to other servants, what does it count for just to amuse a guest? Will anyone want me after? Will you be responsible for my life?"
This roleplay, she’s damn invested...
Invested enough to render Zhao Changhe speechless, after a while, he burped with feigned drunkenness and patted his chest, "Then the master will take you, and afterward, you’ll follow me. Will you submit then?"
Sisi paused for a moment, her struggle weakening, "You can’t lie to me... If you really take me, I, I..."
She clenched her teeth, turned her head aside, "Then I still won’t follow you! The Tang family is a refined household, which one of the young masters isn’t elegant and graceful, am I to wander the Worldly Society with a scarred man? Let me go!"
"Ah Zhu thought Qiao Feng was better than Murong Fu..."
"A story from the Worldly Society, Ah Zhu was a maid good at disguising."
Sisi’s eyes widened, she chuckles nervously, "Never heard of it! What do other people’s stories have to do with me, let go!"
This time her struggle was surprisingly strong, Zhao Changhe, playing a drunk, couldn’t misuse his strength, so he was honestly kicked off and rolled to the side.
Sisi flipped off the bed, standing beside it, gasping for breath, "Are all men , feigning madness while drunk, just trying to take advantage of women!"
Zhao Changhe lay sprawling, mumbling, "Wait, I’ll go to Tang Buqi to claim you tomorrow."
Before long, Zhao Changhe’s snoring was heard.
Sisi bit her lower lip, looking at him for a long time, as if analyzing whether he was truly asleep or faking, truly drunk or pretending.
Hard to analyze, his acting skills were actually not bad, the last time he pretended to be lustful to seduce Yue Hongling, didn’t it seem quite convincing? Luckily it was the True Yue Hongling who handled it, had Yue Hongling not come, wouldn’t it be herself who was seduced?
That wasn’t all, since the Hu people’s inexplicable trouble, he had started suspecting Wan Dongliu, yet never showed a sign until the end, revealing the truth, you’d really think he was a scar-faced brute, not to be toyed with to death.
Sisi hesitated for a long time, reaching out as if to touch something in his embrace, but ultimately dared not, she withdrew her hand and sat down dejectedly, hugging her knees.
Poor thing, playing a maid, not only risking being forced to accompany sleep, even if he did nothing, she still had to be by his side ready to attend to any vomiting or washing...
Actually, from Zhao Changhe’s own perspective, today’s act was quite mediocre, mainly due to a lack of heart.
Tang Buqi’s behavior gave Zhao Changhe some regrets, listlessly lacking enthusiasm, so he just went through the motions.
If she were the pretend Heavenly Girl, she should have been harassed when she played the Heavenly Girl, but instead, it was the True Yue Hongling who had to endure it. Now, unfortunately, she ended up as a maid serving guests, the Heavenly Dao has a good cycle as if destined to be harassed this time, who made her love to disguise as others, could only suffer without speaking...
However, Zhao Changhe was even more puzzled than Sisi at the moment because he was a bit confused, this lass, when disguised as a maid, actually started to care about her chastity. He really couldn’t be sure if she was the fake "Heavenly Girl" or not. If she wasn’t, it wouldn’t be decent to flirt with her recklessly. That’s enough, he thought, feigning sleep to see what else she would do.
After all, his eyes may have been closed, but the eyes on his back never shut. A slight turn of his head would allow him to take in her every move.
Indeed, she did make a move as if she wanted to touch something but then hesitantly withdrew her hand.
Then, poor thing, she sat hugging her knees by the wall, resting, and as she leaned on it, her head drooped lower and lower until she actually fell asleep.
Now the one to be pitied was Zhao Changhe, regardless of whether Sisi was really sleeping or pretending, he dared not sleep.
If he fell asleep and someone stole something or stabbed him with a knife, that would be a real injustice.
So, a supposedly pitiful little maid slept soundly, while a man lying comfortably in bed ended up spending the whole night awake.
They were harming each other.
The next day, when the sky was barely lit, Sisi’s head still bobbed as she slept. Zhao Changhe couldn’t hold out any longer and got up with an exaggerated stretch, feigning just having woken up from a deep sleep.
Sisi still hadn’t woken up.
Stretching was useless when there was no audience for the performance.
Annoyed, Zhao Changhe washed himself with a basin of water and then took up his Dragon Sparrow to practice his saber technique outside.
The sound of washing and the whooshing of the saber finally woke Sisi. Rubbing her eyes in confusion, she stood up, and through the window, she could see the gleaming saber lights created by Zhao Changhe.
She silently watched for a while and noticed that Zhao Changhe had abandoned the Spiritual Fox Saber Intent of Chi Li and also stopped incorporating the Spring Water Sword Intent. It was still his Blood Evil Saber Technique, but now vaguely imbued with the imagery of Yue Hongling’s sunset vastness. The technique was becoming more skilled and beginning to have an aura all its own.
Although Zhao Changhe wasn’t using those Sword Intents anymore, Sisi still couldn’t understand how he managed to learn even a hint of someone else’s Sword Intent within such a short time. Even if he learned just superficially and a very little, it didn’t seem like something a normal person could accomplish just by observing someone else’s battle and managing to steal their skills... And the Extreme Joy Method, how did he learn it so fast? It was really strange.
She really wanted to steal his stuff!
The tactic of controlling him probably wouldn’t work. There was a chance when he was just beginning, but now he might be even more proficient than herself. If it came to a real fight, it was hard to say who would control whom. Of course, she had to refuse and maintain the image of a virtuous and proud little maid.
Infiltrating the Maitreya Sect, she accidentally learned of the Blood Evil Treasure and came to the Tang family house undercover to search for it. Little did she expect that this guy would also show up.
But he brought a convenience to her: she was supposed to pretend to be an inconspicuous guesthouse maid, to avoid drawing attention. However, this identity had a flaw; it was too lowly, and she couldn’t even get into the Sword Pond. Then this guy arrived, so she could just use his clout to get into the Sword Pond.
She dared not delve into the water to search, for fear of confusing him, only able to linger around the edges and dip a foot into the water to see if she could sense any Evil Qi.
Letting him drink her foot-washing water.
She still couldn’t figure out whether this person was here to mess things up for her or to help...
Sisi’s eyes rolled around as she was about to say something when Tang Buqi’s voice came from afar: "I was so drunk last night, ah... You’re practicing the saber so early!"
Zhao Changhe put away the saber and laughed, "Who said I can be done in? At least seal your mouth. You seem to still have a strong voice?"
Tang Buqi replied, "That’s why I’m calling myself ’Tang Not Crying’ just for today."
Zhao Changhe: "? What about sealing it properly and going by ’Tang Not Dog’?"
Sisi couldn’t hold back a laugh.
Zhao Changhe turned to look at her, then said to Tang Buqi, "Hey, little nephew Tang Not Crying, will you give me something if I ask for it?"
Tang Buqi said, "As long as you don’t ask for my aunt, anything else depends on the situation."
Zhao Changhe pointed at Sisi, "I want this maid. How about gifting her to me?"
Sisi’s smile froze on her face. Are you serious?
