Chapter 28: The Wronged Fifth Sister

  "Bang bang bang......"

  Hearing the sound of knocking on the door, Cui Nianshu got up and walked over to open the door.

  "Big Brother Jiang Xia?"

  Outside the room, Jiang Xia leaned against the door frame, weakly holding Cui Nianshu's hand. His voice was low and husky, with a hint of sensuality, his eyes gleaming with unshed tears that seemed to be on the verge of falling at any moment.

  "Nian Nu, I have something to say to you. If I don't say it now, I'm afraid I'll never have the chance again." Jiang Xia's breathing became a bit rapid, and he coughed twice after finishing his sentence.

  Cui Nian Nu was startled and hastily asked anxiously: "Brother Jiang, what's wrong?"

  "Don't interrupt me, let me finish what I have to say."

  "Brother Jiang, don't scare me. If you have something to say, just say it." Cui Nian Nu obviously became flustered, and her eyes suddenly became moist.

  Jiang Xia's chin slightly lifted, her gaze at a 45-degree angle looking up at the upper right corner of the beam, with an expression that was strongly holding back tears from flowing out of her eyes.

  "There was once a gentle and beautiful girl named Nian Nu who appeared before me, I had the chance to confess to her but I didn't dare say it out loud. Now that time has passed, I no longer have the opportunity. If heaven gives me another chance, I would tell Nian Nu three words 'I love you', if a deadline must be added after those words of love, I hope it's... ten thousand years."

  Such a grand declaration of love, if spoken in the 23rd century, would surely be laughed at. But in today's Great Ming Dynasty, its power is like that of Little Li's flying dagger - every shot hits the mark, without exception.

  Cui Nian Nu immediately burst into tears, throwing herself into Jiang Xia's arms and tightly hugging his waist. "Jiang Gege, what's wrong with you? Tell me, don't scare me, speak up, wuuu...!"

  Jiang Xia reached out and gently lifted Cui Nian Nu's exquisite face, wiping away her tears with his hand: "Silly girl, don't cry, stand..."

  Jiang Xia's heart was filled with a cold sweat, the words were spoken too smoothly, he almost said "stupid girl, don't cry, get up and..." Fortunately, he stopped himself in time.

  Jiang Xia felt extremely guilty in his heart, and he kept asking himself if what he was doing would make him a beast. The answer he got was negative - what's the point of being like a beast? He should just be a beast altogether.

  At this time, Jiang Xia ran to the door of Cui Nian's room and knocked on it. He said these deep and sad words with a purpose that was nothing more than one thing - to resolve the scattered medicinal properties in his body.

  As a powerful aphrodisiac with a reputation for being the conscience of the industry, Chunfeng's method of detoxification only has two options. First, take an antidote. Second...... I believe it's not necessary for me to say more, if you really need me to say it, young man, I can only say that you're too innocent and not suitable to read this "moving" story, go wash up and sleep early.

  When the emotional foundation has matured, Jiang Xia still maintains his low and husky voice. He first took out a paper from his arms and stuffed it into Cui Nian Nu's hand, saying: "Nian Nu, this is your contract of sale, from today on you are a free person."

  "My... indentured servant contract?" Choi Yeon-woo was taken aback and said, "Didn't you say yesterday that Kang Mom didn't want to give it to you? How come now..."

  "Brother Jiang, what's going on? Tell me quickly."

  "Alas..." Jiang Xia sighed, "Foolish girl, I didn't want to say it, but since you're so eager to know, I'll tell you. Just now, I went to find Kang Mama again, and with both emotions and reason, I begged her to give me your indenture contract. As a result, Kang Mama poured me a cup of wine and said that if I drank it, she would give me your contract. And then I drank the wine...

  "That wine is poisonous!" Cui Nian Nu suddenly cried out, her small mouth opening into an "O" shape.

  "Brother Jiang, have you been poisoned? What kind of poison did you take in? No, I'll go ask Mother Kang for an antidote for you. I won't redeem myself anymore, I don't want this contract... Waaahhh..."

  "Don't be silly." Jiang Xia pulled back Cui Nianshu who was about to leave. Cui Nianshu turned around, and Jiang Xia shook his head with a desperate look on his face: "There's no need to go, this poison has no antidote."

  "Isn't there an antidote? How can there not be an antidote?" Cui Nian Nu was stunned, she shook her head vigorously and said: "I don't believe it, there must be an antidote, I'm going to find Kang Mama to give you the antidote!"

  "No! Even if I die, I don't want her to detoxify me. Nianshu, the aphrodisiac I took, there's only one way to detoxify it... otherwise, my meridians will be severed and I'll die."

  "Aphrodisiac?"

  Cui Nian Nu was stunned, although she had kept herself clean, but after all, she had been in this brothel for a long time, how could she not know what aphrodisiacs were. Cui Nian Nu nodded and fell into silence, Jiang Xia released Cui Nian Nu's hands and said: "Nian Nu, I'll go first, don't worry, nothing will happen to me."

  Jiang Xia fell into a melancholy smile, then turned around and left Cui Nian Nu with a lonely back view.

  "Brother Jiang!"

  Chui Nian Nu suddenly called out to Jiang Xia.

  Jiang Xia's heart suddenly felt a surge of joy, but his face still wore a sorrowful expression as he turned back around. Cui Nian Nu lightly bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, then resolutely lifted her head and said to Jiang Xia: "Big Brother Jiang, I'll help you detoxify."

  "How can this be?" Jiang Xia said as he was still being pulled into the room by Cui Nianslave.

  After Choi Yeon-soo lit a red lantern and hung it on the door, she took Jiang Xia to the bedside. Jiang Xia kept saying, "No way, Yeon-soo, you can't do this..." But he followed her to the bedside and lay down automatically.

  Cui Nian Nu bent down and reached out to untie Jiang Xia's belt. The belt had already been tied into a dead knot, and Cui Nian Nu struggled for a while without untying it. Jiang Xia couldn't help but roll his eyes and muttered: "Nian Nu, don't do this, whatever you do, don't use scissors to cut my belt."

  As soon as Jiang Xia spoke, Cui Nianshu immediately reacted and walked over to the dresser to grab a pair of scissors. Cui Nianshu looked at Jiang Xia and said, "Big Brother Jiang, I won't let anything happen to you."

  After finishing speaking, Cui Nian Nu put the scissors on Jiang Xia's waistband and prepared to cut.

  Suddenly, "Bang!" The door, which had been locked, was kicked open by someone.

  "Niang nu, ni zai gan ma?"

  Translation: "Girl, what are you doing?"

  Hearing that cold and angry voice, Jiang Xia raised her head and suddenly let out a cry: "Oh my god!"

  Wearing a white dress, with an absolutely beautiful face, holding a long sword, as cold as frost. The person who came was none other than Cui Rusong, who had once crossed swords with Jiang Xia.

  Cui Ruxiang had brought silver to redeem Cui Nianshu, but unexpectedly saw the red lantern as soon as he walked to Cui Nianshu's door. As someone who had traveled in Jianghu, Cui Ruxiang naturally understood what the red lantern represented, so without saying a word, he kicked open the door with one foot.

  Originally thought Cui Nian Nu was forced to lose her innocence, but as soon as she entered the house, she saw Jiang Xia and Cui Nian Nu lying on top of him.

  It is said that when enemies meet, their eyes turn red with rage. How can Jiang Xia still try to tarnish his own sister's chastity? Cui Ruxue immediately shouted coldly: "You scoundrel! You dare to tarnish my sister's chastity, I will definitely kill you today, look at my sword!"

  "What a great sword!" Jiang Xia immediately jumped out of bed and dodged the fierce slash from Cui Ruxue with a quick turn. Jiang Xia was furious, so he didn't even know if his sentence "What a great sword" meant "great sword" or "despicable", or maybe it was just a double entendre.

  Cui Ruxue's sword stabbed into thin air, but she refused to give up. She turned around and swung her long sword at Jiang Xia once again.

  Jiang Xia was really angry this time.

  For a man, the three things that are most likely to make him lose his temper are: being betrayed by his brother, having his head dyed green, and... being interrupted while having fun.

  This woman without public morals, she enters the house without knocking on the door, interrupts others' good deeds without apologizing, and as soon as she enters the house, she wants to fight and kill. It's really unbearable for Uncle and Auntie! In a fit of rage, Jiang Xia's chaotic true energy in his body miraculously returned to his dantian.

  Jiang Xia hadn't had time to think about why the true energy was behaving this way, but with the true energy, he seemed to have regained his divine status as if he were a fallen god. Jiang Xia's toes lightly touched the ground and his entire body quickly slid back one meter. Cui Ruxue's sword once again fell empty, Jiang Xia stabilized his body in an instant, his toes touched the ground again, and his entire body immediately pounced like a mad dragon, his right hand clawing at Cui Ruxue with five fingers.

  Cui Ruxue hadn't reacted yet, only feeling a pain in her right hand, and the long sword in her hand fell to the ground. She knew something was wrong and wanted to retreat, but Jiang Xia, who had regained his strength, wouldn't give her the chance to do so. Jiang Xia leaned forward, grabbed her right hand with one swift motion, and used a simple grappling technique to bend her arm behind her back. Jiang Xia said, "You little girl, I spared you once before, didn't think you still wouldn't know to repent. Today, if I don't teach you a good lesson, my surname won't be Jiang."

  Jiang Xia pushed Cui Ruxue to the bedside, and with one hand pressed her onto the bed. Then Jiang Xia slapped his palm on Cui Ruxue's plump and round buttocks. All that could be heard was a "slap!" sound, Cui Ruxue let out a low moan, that kind of wanting-to-but-can't-help-it low hum instantly made Jiang Xia's whole body tremble all over, even he felt his soul trembling.

  "Son of a turtle, I must kill you!"

  "Slap!" Jiang Xia's palm came down again, that astonishing rebound feeling, with a perfect arc, made Jiang Xia feel like he was about to lose his mind.

  Jiang Xia felt like he was about to collapse, he didn't dare touch Cui Ruxue again because once he touched her, he feared he wouldn't be able to control himself and would really force himself on her.

  Jiang Xia pulled up Cui Ruxue and suppressed his inner impulse, saying: "Get out! Both of you get out!"

  Cui Ruxue was taken aback for a moment, she felt that Jiang Xia was somewhat abnormal.

  Jiang Xia raised his head, and his eyes had already begun to redden slightly. Cui Nian Nu was anxious, worried, and troubled, "Brother Jiang, the poison in your body..."

  "Get out!!!"

  Jiang Xia let out a loud roar, and Cui Ruxue was startled for a moment. Jiang Xia's appearance, as if he wanted to pounce on someone and devour them, made her think that Jiang Xia was really terrifying.

  Cui Ruxiang came back to her senses and without saying another word, pulled Cui Nianslave and ran out.

  Jiang Xia kicked one foot on the round table in the room, and the round table flew over to block the door.

  Jiang Xia's eyes were fixed on his right hand, and he shook his head helplessly, saying: "Wu Mei, it seems that in the end, I can only trouble you."
