Luo Ning blinked, her thoughts clearly stirred by these words. She raised her wine cup and took a small sip. “Could it be that the princess has taken a fancy to you?”

Tin just a poor kid from the borders of Liang Province. My talent is not bad, and I’m good-looking. It’s not surprising that people have spotted me. But if i have someone I like, I can still politely decline with the words ‘a wife who shared her husband’s hard lot must never be cast aside’. Otherwise, what can i do if the empress’s sister rakes a fancy to me?”

For some reason, Luo Ning’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She wanted ro say that Ye Jingtang was lying.

But Ye Jingtangs appearance and talent were indeed beyond reproach. It was reasonable for the princess to take him into her harem, and he had no way to resist.

If he became the princess’s consort, he would have to serve her for the rest of his life and completely draw a line with other women…

But this little thief had kissed and touched her. What would she do in the future?

Although this idea was inappropriate, from a rational point of view, even if she didn’t like this little thief, he had taken advantage of her, so he should give her a window of time to consider.

How could he become the princess’s consort after taking advantage of her…

Luo Ning drank several cups of wine in a row before saying coldly, “How can a dignified man submit to a woman for wealth?”

“Did those beheaded people at the entrance of the market want to be beheaded by the empress? Did those concubines in the palace really want to marry the emperor?”

Luo Ning was powerless to refute. After some thought, she took a deep breath. “You… you little thief, you have already offended me. I haven’t thought of how to make you pay. Before that, you’d better be careful. Hmm… If the prince really has improper thoughts about you, you can say that you already have someone you like…”

“If the Prince of Jing asks, who should I say it is? I can’t just randomly pick someone, can I? The princess is offering her favor to me. If I refuse, it will be equivalent to cutting off my career…”

Whoosh!

Luo Ning slapped the table, her eyes slightly cold. “You were the one who had lustful thoughts first. Whether I let bygones be bygones or ask you to compensate me, it all depends on my intentions. Before I think it through, you have to wait obediently. Only when I forgive you can you cling to the princess. Do you dare to say no?”

The heroine was very fierce.

Ye Jingtang poured her another cup of wine. “I can wait, but Heroine Luo, you’re already married. You’re destined not to give me a chance to turn over a new leaf -”

“So what if I’m married?”

After Luo Ning drank a few cups of wine, her face flushed red. She looked angry and retorted with the help of the alcohol, “Can’t I remarry after getting married? Can’t I be a widow? What if my husband has a special fetish and likes men? What if we’re just husband and wife in name?”

“Cough cough!”

Ye Jingtang almost spat out a mouthful of wine. His eyes were full of shock. He looked around and made sure that there was no one around before leaning in front of Heroine Luo and saying in disbelief, “Likes men?”

Luo Ning said righteously, “Yes, my husband likes men! And he’s hungry. He can’t walk away when he sees a beautiful man like you. Do you know what will happen if my husband finds out you’re pestering me?”

??

A certain part of Ye Jingtang s body tightened, and his scalp went numb. “What do you mean?”

Seeing that she had frightened the lawless little thief, Heroine Luo was quire energetic. Her snow lotus-like face raised slightly, and she made a threatening look. “Whatever you do to me, he’ll do to you!”

“What?!”

“Furthermore, his personality is domineering and overbearing. He will definitely be more ruthless than a little thief like you. He will press you down, tie you up, and bully you with all his might. You can’t beat him, and no one will save you even if you scream your throat out. You can only be bullied day and night…”

These words were quite outrageous.

But what was even more outrageous was that Ye Jingtang felt that Luo Ning was telling the truth!

Ye Jingtang had goosebumps all over his body. He moved away and raised his hand. “Alright, alright, stop talking.’¹

Luo Ning had been bullied all this time. When she saw that Ye Jingtang was finally scared, her aura naturally became stronger.

Because she had drunk a few cups of wine, she was more active than usual. In an ethereal and cold voice, she mocked, “What’s wrong? Are you scared? Where did the courage to bully me go? If you dare to be rude to me again in the future, I only need ro go back and say a word, and you will end up like this…”

Ye Jingtang s scalp really went numb. He drank two cups of wine to calm himself down before asking, “Heroine Luo, why did you marry such a pervert? Were you forced?”

Luo Ning blinked and restrained her expression as she became more serious. “It’s a long story. I’ll tell you after we save Qiu Tianhe. Before that, you can’t cling to the princess…”

Tin afraid that won’t do. Your husband is so abnormal. What if I’m caught? 1 don’t think there’s anywhere in the world safer than the Prince of Jing Estate.” ??

Luo Ning realized that she had painted a too frightening scene, scaring the little thief so much that he was about to hug the princess’s thigh. She explained, “Well… you don’t have ro worry too much. I’m the one who takes care of things in the family. As long as I don’t say anything about what you’ve done to me, he won’t do anything to you.”

Ye Jingtang thought for a moment and dragged his stool over to sit in from of Luo Ning. “Your husband likes men, and the two of you don’t have any feelings for each other. Did you only become a fake couple to hide your husband’s perverted fetish?”

The man suddenly sat beside her. Luo Ning tensed up a little, but she still maintained her aura. “More or less. But it’s nor as unbearable as you think. He is doing something for me, so I’m helping him cover up the differences between him and other men. Were just working together.”

“Then, Heroine Luo, you’re actually unmarried and single, not a married woman?”

Luo Ning felt that something was wrong. She seemed to have unknowingly told him everything. “On the surface, I’m indeed a married woman. If you dare to be rude to me again, you know the consequences.”

Ye Jingtang deliberated for a moment. “I think it’s better for me to seek refuge with the Prince of Jing…”

Smack!

Luo Ning was a little angry and slapped the table. “As long as I guarantee your safety, no one can touch you. What are you afraid of? Do you want to serve under rhe princess’s skirt so badly? Where did your courage go?”

Ye Jingtang looked at Luo Ning’s resentful eyes and finally understood what she meant. She was telling him not to cling to the Prince of Jing as her consort and not to be afraid of that pervert…

Ye Jingtang nodded slightly and didn’t say anything else. He picked up his wine cup. “Let’s drink. Let’s not talk about this anymore/’

Seeing this, Luo Ning stopped threatening the little thief with the Pacifying Heaven Cult Master. She raised her wine cup, clinked it with his, and downed it in one gulp.

The two of them charted for a long time, and before they knew it, they had already drunk three rounds.

Luo Ning had never touched alcohol in the past, but today, she could talk so much nonsense. She had obviously drunk too much. After drinking a few cups in a row, she felt light-headed.

As she drank, she looked out of rhe corner of her eye. The handsome little thief was drinking alone.

His expression was still cold and extraordinary, with a hint of elegance and gentleness hidden in it. But his eyes looked a little distracted, as if he was thinking about many things and was nor very happy.

When Luo Ning saw this, her drunkenness dissipated a little, and she recalled their conversation. If she didn’t know that the Pacifying Heaven Cult Master was a woman, it wouldn’t sound right.

She was a woman as beautiful as a heavenly fairy. Because she wanted to achieve some goals, she pretended to be husband and wife with a perverted man, and she even said that she was relying on that pervert…

If the man who treated her as an innocent and pure fairy’ knew about this, his good impression of her would plummet. No matter how much he liked her, he would lose all his good impression of her and even abandon her like a pair of worn-out shoes…

For some reason, Luo Ning’s cold and beautiful face revealed a hint of nervousness.

Although she had no interest in this shameless little thief, in order to stop him from daydreaming, she had used these things to ruin her clean image and make him misunderstand and even despise her. It seemed that the gains did not make up for the losses…

Luo Ning stole a few glances at Ye Jingtang, thought for a moment, and said, “Don’t… don’t let your imagination run wild. He and I are just helping each other. There’s nothing between us. I’m not the kind of woman who doesn’t care about her reputation for the sake of her goals… The whole story is very complicated. i can’t tell you for the time being, but it’s definitely different from what you think. I’ll explain these things to you after we save Qiu Tianhe. At that time, you’ll feel that this is a very normal thing. It’s just that you don’t know the inside story, so it sounds strange…¹‘

Ye Jingtang looked over and saw the fairy-like elder sister. Her face was flushed red as she explained in a drunken voice. The corners of his mouth curled up.. “Heroine Luo, are you afraid that I will misunderstand?”
