Chapter 57

Jiang Yu Lang stuck his tongue out and laughed, “You’re really full of doubts, with such a pretty wife like you, would I be eyeing others?” He caressed Tie Ping Gu’s neck and kissed her on her cheek.

She lowered her head, her eyes seemed to be a little wet, and continued softly, “You must know, you’re not only the first man in my whole life, but also the only person who has been so close to me in my life. No matter what you have done is real or fake, as long as you treat me like this forever, I’ll be satisfied. Even if you were to commit other evil deeds, I… I… “ She bit down on her lips, unable to continue her words.

Tie Xin Lan looked at her, and listening to her words, can’t help but secretly sigh in her heart, “What a lonely woman this is, and what a pitiful woman. She obviously knows that Jiang Yu Lang is being false towards her, and yet she accepted his false affections, could it be that she cannot tolerate any more loneliness?” Tie Xin Lan felt pity and pain at the same time.

There’s actually a secret tunnel under the hall.

This tunnel can lead to a few underground rooms, and Tie Xin Lan was sent to a very comfortable room by Tie Ping Gu.

She immediately realized that the ‘man in black’ is already in this room. He was draped over a chair, obviously his acupoints were also sealed by someone.

What surprised Tie Xin Lan was the young lady sitting opposite this ‘man in black’.

This young lady has a pair big and pretty eyes, but a pity that this pair of huge eyes which should be sharp, is now filled with a layer of haze.

She stared dully at that ‘man in black’, as if she’s thinking about something. That ‘man in black’ also stared dazedly at her.

“Why is Murong Jiu here as well?” Tie Xin Lan can’t help but gasp in surprise.

Jiang Yu Lang looked at them and laughed loudly, “There’s also an old friend of yours here, right?”

Tie Xin Lan gritted her teeth, and managed to stop herself from scolding him.

Jiang Yu Lang walked towards Black Spider and laughed, “Brother Spider, another friend has come to see you, why are you ignoring her?”

Only now did Black Spider seem to rouse from his dream, and taking a look at Tie Xin Lan, asked in shock, “You? … Why are you here as well?”

Tie Xin lan replied with a bitter smile, “We had wanted to… wanted to come and help you.”

Jiang Yu Lang raised his head heavenward and laughed madly, “A pity that no one else in the world can save you now!”

Tue Xin lan gritted her teeth and said, “Don’t you forget, there’s still Master Hua…”

Jiang Yu Lang was breathless from laughing, and continued with another bout of laughter, “Hua Wu Que is now waiting for others to save him.”

Hua Wu Que finally released the lock on Madam Bai’s neck.

He heaved a long sigh and asked, “Can Madam stand up now?”

However Madam Bai’s body collapsed onto the hay and said breathlessly, “How can I stand up now?”

Hua Wu Que was stunned, “Why can’t you stand up?”

Madam Bai sighed, “Silly, can’t you see that I don’t even have an ounce of strength now.”

Her address of him actually changed from ‘Master’ to ‘Silly’. Hua Wu Que could only reach out to support her arm.

However, Madam Bai seemed to be paralyzed on the floor, and he was unable to help her up. If not for the fact that his legs were steady, he would have been dragged down onto the hay by Madam Bai.

He can only reach out to support Madam Bai’s waist.

Madam Bai suddenly started squirming and giggled, “… me to death, so you’re not a kind person as well, you’re deliberately making fun of me.”

Hua Wu Que blushed again, and said, “That is not my intention.”

Madam Bai bit her lips and said, “Who knows if that’s really not your intention!”

Hua Wu Que dare not look at her eyes, and turned his head around, saying “If Madam still does not get up, I will have to…”

Madam Bai said smoothly, “Silly, a big man like you, have you lost your senses once you meet with such a small problem?”

Hua Wu Que sighed, “So what would Madam like me to do?”

“If you can’t help me up, can’t you carry me up?” Her cheeks were flushed, her ample bosom raising up and down…

If it was Jiang Yu Lang, it’ll be strange if he does not dash forward to carry her. If it was Xiao Yu’er, he would have given her a tight slap, and then ask her what is her intention.

But Hua Wu Que, all the women in the world are his bane. Not only will he not be rude to them, but he will not show his temper towards them.

Even up to this point in time, he has not realized that this dainty and weak lady, is actually ten times more dangerous than the white ferocious tiger at the side.

Hua Wu Que was silent for a moment before he sighed and said gently, “If Madam really cannot stand up right now, I will just wait here.”

Madam Bai rolled her eyes and laughed, “What if I can’t stand even after two hours?”

Hua Wu Que replied, “I have always been very patient.”

Madam Bai chuckled, “What if I still cannot stand after three days and nights, are you going to wait three days and nights?”

Hua Wu Que is still not angry, and replied with a slight smile, “I know that Madam would never let me wait three days and nights.”

She suddenly sighed lightly, jumped up and leaped into Hua Wu Que’s arms.

Only now did Hua Wu Que became alarmed and asked, “Madam, you…”

“Oh no, my… my husband is back.”

Hua Wu Que’s face colored as well and asked hoarsely, “Where?”

Madam Bai started trembling and stammered, “At…. Right at…”

Suddenly a person can be heard shouting from outside, “Right here!”

With a loud bang, the window on the left side was shattered to pieces, a burly man flew straight in from the shattered window frame.

He was wearing a multicolored brocade outfit, his complexion tanned, his reddish beard that looked like iron, his eyes so bright that no one would dare to stare at him.

Hua Wu Que had long wanted to push Madam Bai away, but Madam Bai held on to his neck tightly, refusing to let go, as if she is frightened to death.

Naturally that burly man’s eyes were almost cracking at the sight and he roared, “S.lut, look what you’ve done?”

He leaped into the hall with one jump, and that ferocious tiger walked over wagging its tail, like an obedient pet dog. However, with one punch, the burly man sent the ferocious tiger which was more than a hundred kilos almost flying, and it landed about ten feet away. The man jumped on his feet and scolded, “What a useless thing, I wanted you to keep an eye on this b.itch but you only know how to sleep.”

The ferocious tiger did not make any sound at all, but stood up with a flip, and squatted at the side obediently. Looking at it’s dejected look, it looked even worse than a sick cat.

Hua Wu Que was completely stunned by the sight, and can’t help but say, “Please hold your temper for a moment, and listen to me…”

It would not have been so bad if he had not spoken, but once he spoke, the burly man flew into a bigger rage and roared, “Listen to you what, listen to you my a.ss! My front leg has just left the house and you adulterous couple have done something shameless. I have long known that this b.itch is a born s.lut, that she would actually take a liking to a young brat like you!”

Madam Bai instead shouted, “To tell you the truth, we have been together for two, three years, once you leave, we will become intimate, so what can you do?”

The bury man looked heavenward and roared, beating his own chest and hollered, “How deathly infuriating!”

But Hua Wu Que was ten times more infuriated than him, and gasped, “Madam… Madam Bai, I have no enmity with you, you… why did you…”

Madam Bai said gently, “Good man, what are you afraid of, anyway since things have come to this, why don’t we lay it clear to him, right?”

Hua Wu Que was so angry that his hands were shaking, and spluttered, “You… you…”

The burly man shouted angrily, “It’s useless even if you lay things clear, if you adulterous couple are thinking of making me a cuckold, you’re dreaming!”

He dashed over with a roar, striking with his fist!

The force of the fist attack actually caused all the flames in the hall to flicker, and Hua Wu Que’s clothes were also fluttering from the force!

He really did not want to fight this unwarranted battle, and with a shake of his body, lightly avoided the attack!

The burly man was even more enraged and yelled, “Rascal, no wonder you dare to steal another’s wife, so you have some skills!”

Amidst his shout, another three punches were thrown. Hua Wu Que moved and avoided the strikes, if it’s possible not to retaliate, he really would prefer not to fight back.

But not only was that burly man’s punches powerful, his styles were extremely sharp and vicious. His martial arts ability far exceeded Hua Wu Que’s expectations.

Hua Wu Que really had no choice but to fight back now. He struck with his left fist, and his right hand skillfully drew half an arc.

This is exactly the amazing ‘Shifting Flower grafting Jade’ which had stunned the world. No matter who the person is, once they have been lured by this strange pull, the moves that they execute will all end up on themselves.

Who would have expected that the man would give a roar, and his body moved stiffly back, and he actually forcefully stopped his own fist attack halfway!

The power of his punch was so forceful, that he must not have any reserve energy left, and now that the force of his attack suddenly rebounded, no one should be able to block that.

Hua Wu Que did not expect that this person can actually nullify the powers of ‘Shifting Flower Grafting Jade’. Besides ‘Yan Nan Tian’, this is the second person that he has ever seen doing it! He cannot help but be startled at the depth of this man’s powers, it is unimaginable!

The burly man looked at him and smiled sinisterly, “So you’re from Floral Palace, no wonder it’s so strange… but with that little skill of yours, what can you do to me Bai Shan Jun. It would be better if you asked your Teacher out.”

He attacked with his fists again, his powers even more intense, as if he does not take into regard the earth shattering ‘Shifting Flower Grafting Jade’ at all. Now he has no choice but to fight back.

The martial arts of Bai Shan Jun, have evoked a feeling of hostility. Since he have suddenly met with such a strong opponent, he always wants to see who is the better!

Madam Bai stood at the side clapping and cheering, “That’s right, no need to fear fim. For my sake, you should have had it out with him!”

Although Hua Wu Que heard the cheers, but the more he thought about it, the more unhappy he is, but now it’s like he’s riding on a tiger, difficult to dismount even if he wanted to.

He really cannot fathom what tricks this Madam Bai is up to!

Bai Shan Jun’s fist attacks are becoming more vicious. He seemed to be using all his strength in his every strike and every punch, so much so that it looked like he has used up all his strength, but when his second punch flew out, it’s power seemed to be equally vicious as the first punch.

However, Hua Wu Que’s body moved like a wild goose, like a swimming dragon, dancing around the hall. Bai Shan Jun’s attack may be so powerful that it causes his clothes to flutter around like a dance, but it still could not do anything to him.

Madam Bai laughed affectionately, “Good man, I really did not see that you actually have such good martial arts. With a lover like you, what do I have to fear. Hurry up and kill this old man, then we can forever become husband and wife in peace.”

Her words were becoming more outrageous, and Hua Wu Que is unable to seal her lips nor stop himself from listening, and although he could remain calm, but he was still a little distracted. However, Bai Shan Jun’s fist attacks allow no room for any distraction.

Madam Bai suddenly gasp in alarm, “Aiyo, be careful of his next move Tiger Claws Grabbing the Heart!” Amidst her scream, Bai Shan Jun really struck out with his fingers as he roared like a tiger.

This move does not seem to be particularly powerful, Hua Wu Que just stepped back slightly and avoided it, but he was feeling perplexed as to why madam Bai would suddenly scream. He knows there must be a trick somewhere.

But there is no time for him to think now. He took another step back and the back of both his knees were struck by a secret weapon.

He fell stiffly down, still unaware that the secret weapon was thrown by Madam Bai. But Madam Bai had already walked over and hugged Bai Shan Jun’s neck, sighing affectionately, “I thought I had fallen in love with someone else, but once you started fighting, I realize that the person I love will always be you. I would rather kill all the men in the world then to see others lay a finger on you.”

Hua Wu Que sighed and closed his eyes, thinking in his heart, “Hai, women…”

Only now did he understand why Xiao Yu’er finds women a headache.

He heard Bai Shan Jun laugh madly, his laughter getting nearer and nearer, and finally reaching his side. He shut his eyes tightly, and did not feel like talking, listening and all the more, seeing.

Bai Shan Jun laughed wildly, “Now you should know my wife’s prowess. Whoever is associated with her, will certainly meet with misfortune. You’re so young, and don’t look stupid, why of all things must you do this?”

Hua Wu Que gritted his teeth, having no wish to defend himself. However, Bai Shan Hu grabbed him by his collar and dragged him away.

He felt Bai Shan Jun put him down on a short cot and flipped him over, facing down, and he actually took off his pants.

Hua Wu Que immediately shouted in alarm, “You… what are you trying to do?” He struggled to lift his head and opened his eyes!

He saw Bai Shan Jun standing next to the cot grinning, but there was no trace of viciousness on his face. He was holding a shiny black horseshoe, and said slowly, “The viciousness of my wife’s secret weapons, even the Yan Nan Tian of yesteryear would have a slight headache on hearing them. Both your legs have been struck by one, if I don’t use this Magnetic Steel Star to suck them out, you can forget about walking for the rest of your life.”

Hua Wu Que was both surprised and suspicious, and asked, “You… why are you saving me?”

Bai Shan Hu suddenly chortled loudly, “Do you think I really believe my wife’s words?”

By now he has extracted two small needles as fine as a cow’s hair from the back of Hua Wu Que’s legs. The needles may be small, but when it was pinned in Hua Wu Que’s legs, his whole body became so weak that he could not move even his finger.

Now that the needle has been sucked away, Hua Wu Que immediately regained his strength miraculously, and stood up with a flip. He stared at Bai Shan Jun and asked, “Since you do not believe her words, then earlier why… why were you so furious?”

He seemed to have fallen into dense fog, unable to understand anything at all.

Bai Shan Jun slapped his shoulder and smiled, “Lad, I know you have been confused, sit down and listen to me then.”

Hua Wu Que smiled bitterly, “I was thinking of seeking some clarification.”

Bai Shan Jun actually sighed as well, and also said with a bitter smile, “Do you know, there is a type of strange people in the world, if others were to love or respect her, she would feel tortured. If you were to humiliate and torture her, she would instead feel more comfortable and happy.”

Hua Wu Que was surprised, but can’t help but think it’s a little funny as well, and asked, “Are there really people like that in the world?”

Bai Shan Jun smiled bitterly, “Naturally there is, my wife is one of them.”

“She… how did she end up like that?”

Bai Shan Jun sighed, “It seems that she has been like that since young. Not only does she like others to torture her since young, but she will also torture herself. When she’s older, this behavior became worse. She can’t even stay in a normal house and insist of decorating her place to look like a horse stable, and even want me to chain her up.”

Hua Wu Que sighed, “So she willingly suffers it, and I had thought…”

Bai Shan Jun continued, “Although I know this problem of hers, but sometimes I really cannot bear to hit or, nor am I willing to, so she often angers me deliberately so that I will beat her up.”

Hua Wu Que sighed, “What happened today, I guess must be for this reason then.”

Bai Shan Jun said, “She is slowly growing old, and kept thinking that I will grow sick of her and find another love, so she will frequently try to stir my jealousy…”

“Actually all these acts of Madam Bai are unnecessary, your love for your wife, since the beginning, has never changed, right?”

Bai Shan Jun lifted his head and laughed, “That’s right, I only care about her happiness, but I let Friend here become disadvantaged. The truth is, it’s our fault, to hit or to punish, I will let Friend decide, how about that!”

Hua Wu Que arranged his clothes and said with a slight smile, “To tell you the truth, I was feeling a little angered over this matter. But after listening to your words, not only do I sympathize with your situation, I also greatly respect the depth of your love towards your wife. Besides, I have lost in your hands and became your prisoner, so you should decide on what to do with me.”

He suddenly stopped talking, because he had just taken two steps, when he suddenly realize that although he can move effortlessly now, but he was unable to breath deeply to his waist.

Hua Wu Que asked calmly, “Why did you secretly do something to my waist?”

Bai Shan Jun seemed to be startled, and replied hoarsely, “Really? I guess it must have been when I was pulling out the needles for you earlier, and carelessly struck that ‘Gossamer Needle’ into some acupoint at your waist.”

Hua Wu Que said slowly, “It’s right under the ‘Laughter Acupoint’.”

Bai Shan Jum seemed anxious, and interrupted, “If it’s near the Laughter Acupoint, then it’ll be troublesome. I really dare not pull the needle out for you rashly, or else if I’m not careful, and that Gossamer Needle were to pierce your Laughter Acupoint, even the gods won’t be able to save you. I can only stand and see you laugh madly for three days, until you die from laughter.”

Hua Wu Que was silent for a moment and said, “Since that is the case, I can only take my leave, and find another way.”

Bai Shan Jun sighed, “If you were to walk recklessly now, the Gossamer Needle would move with the movement of your blood, and pierce your Laugher Acupoint. No matter how careful you are, you still cannot take more than seventy steps.”

Hua Wu Que paused in his steps and turned around slowly, staring at him quietly. After a long, long moment, he heaved a long sigh and said with a bitter smile as he shook his head, “The ways of you and your wife, are really difficult to fathom. Your wife does not wish to be a human, but would rather be a horse. We shall not speak about her, but you…”

Bai Shan Jun stared at him for a long while before slowly saying, “You really still do not know who I am?”

Hua Wu Que replied, “I have never been very experienced.”

Bai Shan Jun laughed, “That’s right, the disciples of Floral Palace, naturally would not take note of the figures in the martial arts realm… but the name ‘Twelve Zodiacs’, have you never heard it being mentioned before as well?”

Hua Wu Que gasped in recognition, “That’s right, ‘Shan Jun’ refers to tigers, no wonder not only do you use tiger to represent you, but you kept a tiger as a slave. ‘Ma’ (horse) refers to the ‘tiger’s wife’, no wonder your wife would rather be a horse than a human.”

Bai Shan Jun laughed loudly, “Since you already know who I am now, then all the more you should know that those in the ‘Twelve Zodiacs’ are enemies with Floral Palace. Since you are now in my hands, are you not afraid?”

With no change in his expression, Hua Wu Que replied lightly, “If you had wanted to strike, you need not have saved me earlier. Since you saved me earlier, I guess there is something that you need my help with. Since you require my help, would I still be afraid?”

Bai Shan Jun laughed loudly again, but as he laughed, he suddenly became serious again, and said “That’s right, I really have something to ask of you. As long as you tell me the secret to this skill Shifting Flower Grafting Jade, not only will I release you immediately, but I will agree to any request of yours.”

Hua Wu Que suddenly laughed as well, “If you think that the secret of Shifting Flower Grafting Jade can be obtained so easily, then you will be greatly disappointed.”

Bai Shan Jun’s expression changed, “You dare to not reveal it?”

Hua Wu Que replied with ease, “There are many ways to make people talk in the world, some use life and death as threats, some use torture, some use wealth or women. Why don’t you try all of them, and see if you can make me talk.”

Bai Shan Jun was silent for a moment before he suddenly smiled and said, “I have no plans to think about, nor do I wish to waste my energy, so it seems like I can only leave. If you wish to stay, then stay, leave if you want to, I can’t be bothered with you. But in case you want to look for me, you just need to shout and I will come.”

He was actually leaving as he said he would, and before he had finished his words, he had walked away.

This move is out of Hua Wu Que’s expectations again, and for a moment he felt at a loss. Bai Shan Jun had just walked out the door when he turned back again and said with a smile, “But don’t you forget as well, don’t ever take more than seventy steps, or else the taste of dying from laughter, is really worse than dying by any other means.”
