Chapter 550: A Scene In Songhe Inn 8
It looked like there was some fun awaiting him tonight.
Jiang Liluo did not expect her to be as agile as a monkey. She turned her head, pointed at Qi Qingyao’s nose, and said, “It’s pointless for you to ask for someone to save you. No one would dare to offend the Wen family and Jiang family!”
Qi Qingyao leaned into the man’s ear and whispered, “Brother, you’ve been following and observing me for so long—you’ll protect me, right?”
Tan Xiangdie wrapped his arms around the lady’s shoulders without a care and whispered in her ear back, “How could you tell that I was following and observing you?”
Qi Qingyao blinked. There was no smile in her eyes, though the corner of her lips curled up. “When I sat down, you were sitting across from me. You even kept discreetly looking at me with scrutiny, which means that you’re here for me. Well, I’m in trouble now. Would it be fair if you didn’t protect me?”
Tan Xiangdie refused to comment. He continued to whisper, “Why do you think I have the ability to protect you?”
“Instinct.”
Qi Qingyao leaned on his shoulders, looking like she was seeking refuge, and said in a very soft voice, “My instinct tells me that Brother is powerful, and my instinct tells me that Brother is in a disguise.”
The seemingly ambiguous whispering between the two left Jiang Liluo, Wen Chuji, and Jiang Siliu all stunned.
Once they returned to their senses, Jiang Liluo roared in a meltdown, “You wild woman, casually lying on top of a stranger. How shameless!”
Qi Qingyao looked at her with a smile, then placed her soft, fair hand on the man’s chest. She grabbed the front of his robe and said with a pretense of familiarity, “With Brother here, you can’t hurt me.”
Jiang Liluo was so angry her face turned red. “I don’t believe that anyone dares to offend the Jiang family!”
“Seeing as you’re calling me ‘Brother’, I’ll save you once.”
Tan Xiangdie spoke and kissed the little lady’s ear. He got up immediately, put his arms around her waist, flew, and, in a second, landed on the windowsill. Afterward, he laughed loudly and shouted into Songhe Inn, “Boss, ask the lady of the Wen family for both of our bills!”
Then, while carrying the little lady, he flew directly out the window and jumped to the opposite roof.
With two quick movements, they disappeared without a trace.
Their swift departure left Jiang Liluo and the others dumbfounded.
When the shopkeeper of Songhe Inn ran upstairs, he saw Wen Chuji and her group. He nodded, bowed, and rubbed his hands together…
Wen Chuji’s expression was really dark.
Jiang Liluo was so angry her face turned red.
Only Jiang Siliu was scratching her head, lost in thought.
This was because the lady’s voice was somewhat familiar, but she just could not put her finger on it…
…
After jumping on a few roofs, Tan Xiangdie landed in an alley with the lady in his arms. Qi Qingyao was dizzy and leaned against the wall to steady herself. Then she turned around, pretended to be calm, and said, “Let me know before you start flying next time.”
“I saved you.”
Tan Xiangdie blinked and stared at this lady who was clearly pretending to be calm. He was sure of one thing. She really was a rich, young lady who could afford to buy this garment, but… she did not have any cultivation skills.
“Thanks for saving my life, hero.” Qi Qingyao smiled calmly and said with a fist clasped in her other hand as a salute.
Tan Xiangdie crossed his arms over his chest and looked at her. “Aren’t you going to repay me properly?”
Qi Qingyao asked earnestly, “Didn’t I just thank you?”
Tan Xiangdie smiled like a stealthy cat. “Shouldn’t you repay my kindness with your body?”
Qi Qingyao licked her lips and replied with a half-smile, “But that wouldn’t be kindness…”
Tan Xiangdie looked at her smirk, then at the human mask, and asked deliberately, “Aren’t you tired of wearing that mask?”
