Chapter 237: The Thing

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Gu Shenwei was 17 now. During the past few years, he had been exposed to many erotic visual images and verbal descriptions in South City but had never been romantically involved with any woman. Therefore, he did not have a deep insight into the power of beauty and was not very confident about his plan.

He had successfully persuaded Luo Ningcha to work together with him, but he still felt uncertain and kept worrying about all the minor details. “The Supreme King may not come to sleep with Luo Ningcha, since she’s his daughter-in-law. Or, he won’t come unless his Internel Strength recovers. When Shangguan Fa’s kung fu is back to its normal levels, I’ll be no match for him. I can only assassinate him when he has no Internal Strength.”

.

Compared to Slave Huan, Xu Yanwei was far more confident in Luo Ningcha’s charm and ability to seduce a man. Although she did not know Slave Huan’s real intentions, she truly enjoyed instructing Luo Ningcha and taught her everything. After seeing Miss Luo’s face with her own eyes and instructing her for a few days, she asked Slave Huan, “Do you want Miss Luo to seduce a Buddha or something? My goodness, compared to her, even Xiao Fengchai looks like a village girl.”

Comparing a woman to Xiao Fengchai, who was generally acknowledged as the most charming prostitute in Pleasure Alley, was the highest praise Xu Yanwei could think of.

Upon knowing that the Bighead Kingpin’s coffin would be transported to Jade City in several days, Luo Ningcha suddenly became secretive and asked most of her servants in the backyard to move into the front yard. Only a few of them that she trusted the most were allowed to stay in the backyard to serve her. During those days, she kept asking for Xu Yanwei’s advice on how to walk, talk and express herself with her eyes. She felt enlightened by the views of the prostitute and sighed, “If I had mastered these tricks before, Shangguan Nu might not have left me alone in this Stone Castle.”

Xu Yanwei was never a first-rate prostitute. She was not always able to control her temper in the presence of her clients and would even offend them sometimes. Nevertheless, she turned out to be a good teacher who was adept at instructing her student to control her temper. “All men are the same. They enjoyed being looked up to and being implored to. The more cuddly and pitiful you appear, the more generous they’ll be to you,” she said to Luo Ningcha.

Gu Shenwei and Maid Lotus were put in charge of Luo Ningcha’s safety, which made Gu Shenwei even more anxious. “Both Luo Ningcha’s and mine personal enemies may launch sneak attacks on us at any time. When that happens, Maid Lotus and I won’t be able to take on so many enemies.”

Fortunately, the Supreme King keenly sensed that there were some plots brewing inside the fort and issued an order, which said that whatever the reason, the one who killed a person in the fort without authorization would be executed. To maintain his ruling status in Golden Roc Fort, a place packed with bloodthirsty and merciless killers, the Supreme King never tolerated any killer acting in defiance of his orders. Given that, Gu Shenwei was pretty sure that he did not have to worry too much about their safety now.

.

As the most staunch supporter of the lord’s no-kill order, Shangguan Ru also helped him a lot. She came to visit her Eighth Sister-in-law almost every day. Although she did not bear any grudge against Luo Ningcha for her past behaviors, Gu Shenwei still carefully monitor their conversations, in case that they mentioned the wooden board.

Maid Lotus deduced that Slave Huan and Miss Luo were up to something, but she never asked him about it. Occasionally, she would persuade him to practice Wayless Qigong. “Your death caused by the qigong deviation will arrive earlier than mine. I’m sure that you’ll benefit a lot from practicing Wayless Qigong.”

“I’m afraid that I have to wait.” He always answered her this way, without further explanation. He wished to get rid of Peripheral Force as soon as possible, but unlike Maid Lotus who could start the practice right away, he had to complete the self-destruction process, namely draining away all of his Internal Strength, before practicing Wayless Qigong. At such a crucial moment, he did not want to lose all of his Internal Strength.

He foresaw that the assassination of the Supreme King would cause a tempest in the fort. “To avoid being drawn into this storm, I have to flee from the fort right after the assassination. As for Wyaless Qigong, I’ll begin practicing it when I get to somewhere safe. I’ll leave Luo Ningcha to her own fate and tell Xu Yanwei how to save her own life before my departure. I can’t protect them or take them away, so that’s all I can do,” thought Gu Shenwei.

After a while, he came to realize that he truely wished to take Maid Lotus along with himself. “Given the tacit understanding I have with her, I’d better ask her to escape together with me. As a killer, I need such a partner to protect my rear. Although I can’t divulge my plan to her at this moment, when the Supreme King is killed in the Eighth Young Master’s residence, it’ll be a natural choice for her, a killer of the Eighth Young Master, to flee to protect herself.”

Gu Shenwei was sure that he had gotten everything ready, now he only needed to see if Luo Ningcha could succeed in attracting people’s attention in Jade City during her first outing without wearing a veil.

The truth was that Luo Ningcha had achieved a smashing success, which far exceeded Gu Shenwei’s expectations. She caused such a sensation that all the people in Jade City heard of her new title “the most beautiful woman in the world” within a short time. When she was heading back toward Stone Castle, the security checkpoint that she was going to pass were already packed with tens of thousands of people, who wished to get a glimpse of the beauty. The guards at the checkpoint had to resort to force to resolve the traffic congestion and to keep her adoring fans at bay, which nearly caused a riot.

Before her return, all the people in Golden Roc Fort had heard of the sensation, and more than a hundred of them had already crammed into the alley in front of the entrance of the Eighth Young Master’s residence, waiting for her. Some of them just came to join the fun, while the others secretly planned to make troubles to embarrass her as a way to please Lady Meng. However, the moment Luo Ningcha got out of her carriage while being supported by her maids, all the people in the alley spontaneously made way for her. They were taken by her beauty, so much so that they would rather hold their breath than say anything to disturb her. After she entered the residence, they finally got their breath back and sighed simultaneously, feeling a kind of emptiness in the absence of the beauty.

Gu Shenwei and Luo Ningcha had intended to attract only the Supreme King. Beyond their expectations, they first attracted a group of flirtatious men of the Shangguan family, and some of them were still students of the school. They flocked to Shangguan Nu’s residence with the excuses of expressing sympathy to their Eighth Aunt-in-law, Eighth Sister-in-law or even Eighth Granddaughter-in-law. Gu Shenwei had never seen this place so crowded before.

As he planned to maintain Luo Ningcha’s mystery after her first outing without wearing a veil, he allowed no one to enter the residence and thus offended quite a lot of people. Shangguan Hong came here too, but he quickly fled the place when he saw Slave Huan.

In the end, only Shangguan Ru managed to squash into the residence and finally met her Eighth Sister-in-law in person. She expressed her condolence and then had a short conversation with Luo Ningcha, who did not wear a veil anymore. After that, she walked out, shaking her head and clicking her tongue in wonder. “Now, you bear such a heavy responsibility, Slave Huan. Be careful and take good care of her. Otherwise, my Eighth Brother won’t let you off easily,” Shangguan Ru said smilingly.

Gu Shenwei smiled back at her without saying a word, while thinking, “Shangguan Ru still doesn’t realize that Shangguan Nu will never be able to return to Stone Castle as long as the Supreme King is alive.”

Everyone was tired out after the busy day and went to bed early in the evening. As Luo Ningcha still had not fully recovered from her anxiety, Slave Huan and Maid Lotus had to take turns to stand guard at night inside her room. Only with a guard being around, Miss Luo could feel secure as if sleeping with a saber under her pillow.

Today, it was Gu Shenwei’s turn to keep guard for Luo Ningcha, and the thing just happened when both of them were unprepared.

Today’s outing had exhausted Luo Ningcha’s energy, but when she lay on her bed at night and recalled what had happened during the day, she felt thrilled. She finally knew how attractive she was, and this made her think back to the first few months after getting married to Shangguan Nu. Back then, her husband had been madly in love with her but she had always dreaded seeing his hand hook and thus seldom showed affection to him. At the moment, Luo Ningcha believed that this was the reason for Shangguan Nu’s decision to walk out on her and betray the Golden Roc Fort.

She felt somewhat stifled and confined on her bed, which was big enough for two people, and asked Maid Cui, who was lying at her foot and forever on call, to get out of her bed.

After sending Maid Cui away, she still could not fall asleep. Like a little girl who was excited about a new toy, Luo Ningcha had just discovered her glamor and was fascinated by it.

“Are you still here?” asked Luo Ningcha.

“Yes, I am,” replied Gu Shenwei.

“Come here.”

Miss Luo sounded differently. Her voice had never been so sweet when she had been practicing speaking with Xu Yanwei before, but now she suddenly got the trick without her teacher’s guidance.

Gu Shenwei’s heart skipped a beat, and at the same time, he had an unusual feeling. He had occasionally felt this way back in South City and every time he could easily suppress this urge. However, this time, he discovered that it had already grown into a monster, which was roaring and struggling, trying to break the shackles on itself.

He could not help moving his feet. Soon enough, he went behind the screen and stopped beside Miss Luo’s bed, his mind completely blank.

“Do you find me attractive?” asked Luo Ningcha.

“Uhm,” Gu Shenwei mumbled, while continuing fighting against his desire. As her face had already been imprinted on his mind, now he felt as if he could see it in this pitch-dark room.

“Why don’t you show any interest in me?”

“I’m a killer.”

“So is he.”

Upon realizing that Luo Ningcha was referring to the Supreme King, Gu Shenwei became clear-headed and thought, ” I should not come in here. If the Supreme King can’t wait any longer and come here tonight, it’ll be me instead of my foe being killed in this bed.”

When he was about to retreat, his right hand, which was gripping his saber shaft, was grabbed by a soft, cold and trembling hand.

“If I can’t make you fall for me, how can I satisfy him?” asked Luo Ningcha.

If she had said these words to any other man, the man would have felt being insulted. However, for the killer, these words happened to give him a reasonable explanation.

He accepted that hand’s guidance, took off his clothes and went to the bed. Luo Ningcha slowly slid a finger from his arm to his chest. “You have so many scars,” she exclaimed.

Her husband, Shangguan Nu was also a killer, but he did not have any scar on his body except for his severed hand.

Gu Shenwei remained silent, as he was fighting against the monster in his heart. That monster was urging him to throw himself on top of the woman, choke her and tear her into pieces. That monster wanted him to merge together with the woman, while he just wished to keep calm. He hoped to be a professional killer, who could enjoy the passion without being controlled by it.

Luo Ningcha was somehow aroused by his rough skin and scars. She felt a flow of warmth circulating inside her body and surging inside her lower abdomen.

As the young killer was inexperienced, she had to take the initiative to seduce him. She tried all the tricks she had recently learned on him, while feeling half excited and half ashamed.

They clumsily tried out all the theories they knew and did their best to hide their ignorance. As a result, both of them could not relax themselves.

Luo Ningcha had never enjoyed making love to Shangguan Nu, as she really feared and loathed his hand hook. She even found it repellent to stay in the same room with that man.

However, now she somehow felt an intense pleasure and waves of excitement. She wanted to call out and was unafraid to let the waves inundate her.

Gu Shenwei, who had despised Tie Hanfeng for his habit of raping a woman before killing her, now yielded to his desire for Luo Ningcha, who was his enemy’s wife and the sacrificial lamb in his plan. “It’s a double pleasure. I can not only satisfy myself but also retaliate against Shangguan Nu by making love to her,”thought Gu Shenwei. He guessed that he must have been subtly influenced by his Master Shifu and thus subconsciously accepted his idea.

Nevertheless, his first attempt to gain such a double pleasure ended in the most embarrassing way. He was disappointed to find out that even a killer who was good at disciplining himself was unable to control everything in his life.

Upon discovering that he had ended the thing prematurely, Luo Ningcha did not say anything to comfort him. Instead, she jeered at him and said, “Maid Wan is right. It’s your first time, isn’t it? She told me that men always end up like this during their first experience. You’ve spent quite a long time in South City. How come you don’t have any experience? How about Maid Lotus? I heard that you’re romanticly involved with her.”

“Shut up,” Gu Shenwei said harshly.

“How dare you!” Luo Ningcha was about to lose control of her temper.

“If I were the Supreme King, I would hush you up.” Gu Shenwei explained.

With these words, he forced himself on her again, full of anger. He forgot about all the tricks and just did everything that the monster in his heart wanted him to do.

He came to understand that the best way to overcome his desire was to give vent to it.

Gu Shenwei and Luo Ningcha, who had been awkward a while ago, had an awesome, memorable experience this time. They reached the climax together and then gradually slid into an abyss. They felt that it came like a violent gust of wind or a bolt of lightning. The felt as if they were traveling as freely as light in the void.

Since then, Luo Ningcha and Gu Shenwei had shared one more secret with each other.

Throughout the night, Gu Shenwei had been worried that if the Supreme King would have suddenly come in here, but facts proved that his worries were entirely unnecessary. Rumors about Luo Ningcha’s beauty did spark the Supreme King’s romantic interest in his own daughter-in-law, but he was not an ordinary man and would never sneak into a woman room covertly.

When a strange old killer came to see the Eighth Young Mistress and offered condolence to her on behalf of the Supreme King, Gu Shenwei knew that his plan worked.

He quickly forgot about the temporary pleasure he had with Luo Ningcha and concentrated on his assassination plan. Now, he was a cold-blooded killer again, who was always ready to strike his saber and sword at his targets.
