TWIN HEROES - Chapter 72

Chapter 72

Although Su Ying does not know that these four people are the famed Bai Kai Xin, Ha Ha’er, Du Jiao Jiao and Li Da Zui, but she has seen them before.

She has also seen with her own eyes, how these four dealt with Wei Ma Yi. Now that these four suddenly appeared together and surrounded her, so although her feelings are usually not shown on her face, the expression on her face changed unknowingly.

Li Da Zui laughed loudly, “Miss Su, you need not be afraid, my appetite has not been very good these two days, I must wait for at least a few more days if I want to eat you.”

Du Jiao Jiao giggled, “Such a clever girl like her, even if you bear to eat her, I would not agree.”

Bai Kai Xin commented, “From what I see, just eat her and be done with it.”

Ha Ha’er said, “Good. Ha ha, you really harm others without benefit to yourself. If Li Da Zui eats her, how would it benefit you.”

Bai Kai Xin added, “At least I can rest assured, and won’t be sold by her.”

Su Ying’s eyes shimmered, and she suddenly smiled and said, “Have the four of you feeling disgruntled for Tie Xin Lan?”

Du Jiao Jiao sighed, “Come to think of it, that silly lass is actually quite pitiful.”

Su Ying laughed, “If the four of you think that I am tricking her, why didn’t you stop her earlier?”

Bai Kai Xin made a face and said, “She is neither my daughter nor my wife, what business is it of mine whether she is tricked or not? Why should I be a busybody.”

Ha Ha’er added, “Besides, it’s not too bad to ask her to Wei Wu Ya’s place, haha, if Wei Wu Ya really took a liking for her, that would be so amazing beyond words.”

Su Ying asked in surprise, “Since that is the case, why have the four of you come then?”

Li Da Zui said, “We are looking for you to discuss a deal.”

Su Ying asked, “A deal? What deal?”

Ha Ha’er said, “Ha ha, naturally it’s a deal which will benefit both sides, but I wonder if you will agree.”

Su Ying smiled, “If it’s a deal which will benefit both, why would I not agree?”

Du Jiao Jiao replied, “Fine, let me ask you, you wish to marry Xiao Yu’er, right?”

Su Ying smiled and said, “It’s not just a wish, I must marry him.”

Du Jiao Jiao asked, “But are you certain that he will marry you?”

Su Ying smiled, “The less certain the matter, the more interesting it is, isn’t that so?”

Du Jiao Jiao said, “Good, now we can help you, and ask Xiao Yu’er to marry you, but you must promise us one thing as well.”

Su Ying rolled her eyes and asked with a smile, “You are confident that you can make him marry me.”

Du Jiao Jiao replied, “Of course we are confident, don’t you forget, we raised Xiao Yu’er, how can we not know his temperament.”

Su Ying asked, “What do you want me to do then?”

“Bring him into Wei Wu Ya’s cave alive, and bring him out again alive.”

Su Ying asked, “Why would you want to do that?”

Du Jiao Jiao explained, “Because we want to get him to take something.”

Su Ying thought for a moment and said, “What if he refuses to go?”

Du Jiao Jiao smiled, “He may not have gone, but now he has no choice but to go, because you have helped us, you have sent Tie Xin Lan there.”

Su Ying replied slowly, “What if I do not agree?”

Li Da Zui chuckled, “If you do not agree, my appetite will immediately become better.”

Su Ying smiled, “I believe that my flesh, no matter how it is cooked, will still be delicious, but I must advise you never to roast it. Such tender meat, it’ll be a real pity to roast. The best is stewed, the meat will then retain its freshness and tenderness.”

Li Da Zui and the rest looked at one another in dismay after hearing it, shocked motionless instead.

Li Da Zui laughed dryly, “You have just reminded me, the taste of stewed human flesh, is really the best in the world. It’s really been a long time since I tasted it.”

Su Ying replied, “It’s best that you carve off the flesh from my body while I’m still alive, and when seasoning, you must not add vinegar, because human flesh is already slightly sourish.”

Li Da Zui laughed dryly, “Thanks for the advice. I have eaten countless humans, but I did not expect that you’re more of an expert than me.”

He took two steps, but Su Ying was sitting there calmly, not looking like one who is about to be eaten, but more like one who is about to be served food.

Du Jiao Jiao suddenly said, “Li Da Zui, come here for a moment, I have something to tell you.”

She pulled Li Da Zui to the side and whispered, “Have you eaten anyone like that before?”

Li Da Zui grinned and took a glance at Su Ying, who was sitting on the other side, and can’t help but scold softly, “This lass looks as if she likes to be eaten by me, I really do not know what she has up her sleeves.”

Du Jiao Jiao added, “Think about it, if she is not confident, why else would she be so calm, and it even seems that she’s afraid she’ll die too comfortably, even advising you to carve her alive. Think, would there be anyone like that in the world.”

Li Da Zui was silent for a moment before saying, “You mean…”

Du Jiao Jiao continued, “From what I see, let’s forget it. It’s not easy for us to live until now, we better not rock our boats and end up perishing in that lass’s hands. Now that would really be an injustice.”

Li Da Zui agreed solemnly, “Your words ring true.”

Su Ying laughed gaily and asked, “You’re still not coming over. Any more waiting and my flesh is going to grow old.”

Li Da Zui laughed loudly, “Your flesh is too sour, I can’t be bothered to eat it.”

“I did not expect that my flesh would be sour, could it be that I had too much vinegar (Consuming vinegar is another expression of jealousy*) usually.” She stood up slowly, and said, “Since you won’t give me face, then I can only take my leave.”

Suddenly Bai Kai Xin shouted, “I am different from him. He’s a glutton, I am lecherous. Gluttonous people are usually a little more gutless, but lecherous people are different…”

He walked towards Su Ying step by step and laughed loudly, “As the saying goes, the guts of a lecher are greater than heaven, you should have heard of this saying?”

Su Ying can’t help but took half a step back, but there was still a slight smile on her face and she said, “If you find bachelorhood a bore, I can be your matchmaker. At the stream over there, there’s a beauty bathing. Not only is she much prettier than me, but she is also more enticing and understanding.”

Bai Kai Xin giggled, “But I took a liking to you, I don’t want anyone else.”

As he spoke, his pair of large hands made a grab for Su Ying.

Even if there are a thousand marvelous plans in Su Ying’s mind, she can’t use even a single one now. When a woman meets an impatient lecher, there really aren’t any tricks that can be used at all.

With a ‘swoosh’, a piece of Su Ying’s clothes were torn off by Bai Kai Xin.

Right at this time, someone suddenly commented calmly, “How can a man bully a woman thus.”

The words were spoken calmly and slowly, but he appeared faster then the wind, quicker than lightning.

Bai Kai Xin only saw a shadow dropping down from heaven and with a shout, struck out with his palm.

Li Da Zui and the rest suddenly saw a blurred shadow, suddenly heard a crisp clap and Bai Kai Xin’s body is already hanging from a tree like a ball.

Taking another look at Su Ying’s side, there is now a suave and handsome young man. His clothes might look a little tattered, but it cannot hide the air of regality around him.

Although this person saved Su Ying, but when Su Ying saw him, her expression changed instead and she cried hoarsely, “Hua Wu Que!”

Hua Wu Que smiled slightly, his gaze swept over Li Da Zui and the others and said slowly, “Who else would like to strike?”

Li Da Zui and the rest were stunned as well. Although Hua Wu Que does not know them, but they do know Hua Wu Que.

They have seen with their eyes how Hua Wu Que, with his extraordinary skills, managed to scare the Murong Sisters away, and with a single stroke threw Bai Kai Xin onto the tree.

Li Da Zui laughed loudly, “We have long been irritated by this old lecher, now that sir has punished him, that is for the best.”

Du Jiao Jiao smiled as well, “A pity that sir’s strike is a little too light…”

Ha Ha’er added, “Haha, if sir can throw him further, so that we cannot see him, that would be good.”

Bai Kai Xin struggled, thinking to jump down from the tree, and shouted, “I just wanted to touch her, but that big mouth wanted to eat her.”

They did not deal with the outsider, but ended up fighting amongst themselves instead. Hua Wu Que has never seen anyone like that, and can’t help but sigh and said, “All of you are really quite loyal…”

Before he could finish his words, Li Da Zui is already rushing towards Bai Kai Xin with a roar. Bai Kai Xin could not seem to avoid him in time and was flown more than thirty feet away with one punch, and screamed, “Big mouth, you dare to hit others?”

Li Da Zui roared, “I’ve wanted to beat you to death twenty years ago!”

As he scolded, he ran after him, but who would have expected that with a hook of Bai Kai Xin’s leg, he fell over as well and the two of them were entangled into a ball.

There were sounds of fists punching, angry shouts and curses, and although the curses were so bad that it should not be heard, the way they fought was even worse that it should not be seen.

Hua Wu Que had thought that they would be some martial arts exponent, but now it seems that they are even worse than those scoundrels who would fight to the death over three coins.

However Ha Ha’er was clapping and laughing loudly at the side, “Good, well fought, haha, grab his hair quickly. That’s right, grab harder.”

Du Jiao Jiao said, “But we can’t let them go on fighting like this. If one of them got killed, won’t we have to waste money on his funeral, better go and pull them apart.”

By now Li Da Zui and Bai Kai Xin have moved their fight to behind the tree, and the both of them were panting like dogs but refused to stop.

Du Jiao Jiao and Ha Ha’er hurried over as well and shouted at the same time, “Do not fight further… someone’s going to get killed if you continue fighting!”

So the two of them went behind the tree as well, seemingly trying to stop the fight.

Hua Wu Que looked at them, and can only shake his head with a bitter smile. For him to meet such scoundrels, besides shaking his head, what else can he do?

Su Ying suddenly smiled a little and said, “Master Hua, you have been tricked by them.”

Hua Wu Que asked, “What trick?”

Su Ying smiled, “Do you really think they were fighting?”

Hua Wu Que was stunned, “Could it be…”

Su Ying covered her mouth and laughed, “They were just thinking of a way to escape. Although the martial arts of those two are not that great, but if they were to really fight, none can touch even the other’s finger within three hundred strokes.” n)(𝐨–𝒱((𝐞/-𝑙)/𝕓)-I)/n

Hua Wu Que leapt over, and truly not a shadow could be seen behind the tree.

On the trunk however, there were four lines; “Many thanks for showing mercy, sorry for leaving without a word, maybe we do not have guts, but it may not be true that we are not loyal.”

Hua Wu Que was stunned for a moment, and can’t help but said with a bitter smile, “Really tricked, I am ashamed.”

Su Ying smiled, “Those four are full of tricks, and not many are like them. If a gentleman like Master Hua was not tricked by them, now that would be a strange thing.”

Hua Wu Que smiled as well, “A gentleman, that may not be so as well… just earlier there were a few people who were tricked by me.”

Su Ying asked, “Oh? Who?”

After she asked that question, she understood and smiled, “That’s right, the ones who were tricked must have been Bai Shan Jun and his wife, is that right?”

Hua Wu Que nodded with a small smile, “It is them.”

Su Ying rolled her eyes and said, “Although I trapped you with drugs, but that drug is not harmful to humans, once exposed to the wind the drug will lose its effect. It’s just that they must have sealed your acupoint, so you still could not escape.”

She smiled slightly and continued, “Were you pretending to be very seriously poisoned, so that they would not be on their guard against you, but you were secretly using the internal energy of ‘Shifting Flower Grafting Jade’ to unseal your acupoint and escape.”

Hua Wu Que laughed, “Intelligence such as Miss’s is really rarely seen.”

The smile on Hua Wu Que’s face suddenly disappeared and he said with a sigh, “Although Miss may be unparalleled in your intelligence, but I do know there is someone… even if Miss meets him, I’m afraid even you would be at a disadvantage.”

Su Ying lowered her head and sighed as well, saying slowly, “You’ve spoken rightly, not only do I know who you are referring to, but I’ve already been at a disadvantage.”

Hua Wu Que can’t help but reveal a look of surprise on his face, and was about to ask further, when Su Ying suddenly smiled and said, “Even a gentleman like Master Hua has learned to trick others, I’m afraid it’s because you learnt from this person… have I spoken correctly?”

Hua Wu Que can’t help but laugh, “This is called, being influenced by surroundings.”

Su Ying said, “But a gentleman will always be a gentleman, that’s why although I treated you that way, not only did you not seek revenge, but you saved me instead.”

Hua Wu Que’s expression suddenly turned solemn, “Do you know why I saved you.”

Looking at the sudden change in his expression, Su Ying also felt a little startled, but she still said with a laugh, “I’ve already said, it’s because you’re a gentleman.”

Hua Wu Que told her seriously, “I must tell you three things. Firstly, the secret to Shifting Flower Grafting Jade must not be revealed to outsiders. Whoever knows, there is only death! This is a strict rule of Floral Palace, no one is to be excused.”

Although Su Ying was still laughing, but her laughter does not sound so melodious anymore.

Hua Wu Que continued, “Secondly, no matter what things the disciples of Floral Palace has to do, they must do it with their own hands, and never let others interfere nor ask others to do it for them.”

Su Ying asked, “Third… thirdly?

Hua Wu Que said, “Thirdly, I am also a disciple of Floral Palace, no matter what, I cannot break the rules of Floral Palace.”

Su Ying sighed, “So that means, you saved me because you want to kill me personally, right?”

Hua Wu Que turned his head around, not looking at her and said each word slowly, “Although I am unwilling, but it must be done.”

Su Ying replied, “Then… then I must tell you three things as well.”

Without waiting for Hua Wu Que to ask her, she continued, “Firstly, don’t you forget, I could have a lot of opportunities to kill you, but I did not, so won’t it be a sin if you kill me now?”

Although Hua Wu Que did not speak, he can’t help but sigh.

Su Ying continued, “Secondly, although I know the secret to Shifting Flower Grafting Jade, but I will never learn such martial arts, and I have never told anyone else. If you kill me, aren’t you being ruthless?”

Hua Wu Que seems to be slightly swayed.

Su Ying said, “Thirdly, don’t you forget, I am a woman, and defenseless as well. A big man like you bullying a weak woman, not only is that rude, but repulsive as well.”

Hua Wu Que unconsciously lowered his head.

Looking at the change in his expression, Su Ying’s eyes gleamed, but she said coldly, “If you must do such a sinful, ruthless, rude and repulsive matter, of course I can do nothing about it, but if Tie Xin Lan were to find out, she will certainly be disappointed with you.”

Hua Wu Que suddenly lifted his head.

Su Ying said slowly, “That’s right, Tie Xin Lan… she kept telling me, you are the most gentle, most courteous man. I believed her originally, but now…”

She deliberately sighed and stopped talking.

Hua Wu Que’s fingers were already shaking a little, and he asked, “You… you know Tie Xin Lan?”

Su Ying lifted her head, and said nonchalantly, “I can’t really consider us close, but we have just become sworn sisters.”

Hua Wu Que looked as if he was suddenly whipped, and was stunned for a moment before asking while shaking his head, “Impossible… this is impossible! Where is she?”

Su Ying replied, “Even if I tell you where she is now, you would not dare to look for her.”

Hua Wu Que’s eyes shone and his expression changed, “Wei Wu Ya, you sent her to Wei Wu Ya.”

Su Ying smiled, “Wei Wu Ya may treat others cruelly, but he’s very nice to us sisters.”

Hua Wu Que stamped his feet and suddenly turned around, and cried out, “The secret of Floral Palace, you will never tell another?”

Su Ying replied, “If there is a second person who knows, it’s not too late for you to kill me then.”

Hua Wu Que heaved a long sigh, “Although it may be too late then, but… but I still believe you. He stamped his feet again, and leapt forward.
