VIP Volume Chapter 022: Intimidation

Ye Xiaoxuan nodded as well, “Alright, let’s move him up to the earthen cliff!” Hao Six-Fingers rolled up his sleeves and said, “Then you take the head, I’ll take the feet!” Ye Xiaoxuan waved his hand, “No need, I can carry him over myself!”

Hao Six-Fingers, delighted to avoid any work, watched as Ye Xiaoxuan affectionately lifted “Ye Dajun,” his hands lingering over him for a moment, making Hao feel a shiver run down his spine and a sudden tightness.

Better keep some distance from this guy from now on; you never know when he might take advantage. Even when drinking, I’ll need to check for poison first—falling prey to this beast would be an utter loss!

“Ye Dajun” cursed furiously in Ye Xiaoxuan’s arms, but seemed wary of disturbing the neighbors, so he didn’t dare shout too loudly. Still, it was enough to be irritating. Ye Xiaoxuan turned to Hao Six-Fingers trailing behind him and asked, “Six-Fingers, are you wearing socks?”

Having grown up together, Hao Six-Fingers was perfectly attuned to him and responded instantly, “I am, haven’t changed them in three days!” Ye Xiaoxuan said, “Take them off. If he utters another word, stuff them in his mouth!”

The person in his arms immediately shut his mouth tight, not making a sound, though his eyes glared hatefully at Ye Xiaoxuan.

Ye Xiaoxuan chuckled, tightening his hold, pressing the person’s chest against his own, rubbing firmly as he said, “Don’t think I don’t know you’re a woman. If you don’t behave, I have over ten thousand ways to torment you!”

“You dare!” Now that the disguise was exposed, the fake Ye Dajun dropped the male voice and reverted to a woman’s tone, though she kept her voice low for fear Hao Six-Fingers might overhear.

Ye Xiaoxuan snorted with a sly smile, tightening his grip around her, even slipping his hand inside her clothes to caress her slender waist.

“You…” The woman hadn’t expected this useless fellow, unfit even to be a martial artist, to be so bold as to act so shamelessly!

Her shock was so great she forgot to resist, then suddenly snapped awake and cried out in alarm, “Don’t touch me! You bastard! I’ll kill you!”

The sudden scream startled Hao Six-Fingers so badly he collapsed to the ground, unable to gather himself for a long while.

Well, they were outside the village, some distance from both the settlement and the archaeological team’s camp—a place where neither heaven nor earth would heed a cry for help. What was there for Ye Xiaoxuan to fear?

He flung the woman to the ground, making her grunt in pain. She opened her mouth to curse, but Ye Xiaoxuan was already astride her, a wicked grin on his face. “I told you, I have over ten thousand ways to torment you. Now I’ll use the most direct one—take you by force!”

The woman panicked, sensing Ye Xiaoxuan was not bluffing, for his hands were already working at her buttons through the ropes!

Terrified, she trembled all over. She had never imagined that, after years of seeking excellence and looking down on others, she would fall prey to a good-for-nothing, idle bumpkin. If she didn’t submit and lower her pride, she really might lose twenty years of innocence to this scoundrel.

“Please! Ask me anything, just don’t touch me!” Her eyes reddened, her expression meek and pitiful.

Hao Six-Fingers finally regained his senses, rushing over in anger, muttering curses, “So after all that, it’s a female!”

Ye Xiaoxuan pushed her aside, shaking his head. “Six-Fingers, remember, women are to be cherished, not beaten! If you want to show your strength, throw your fists at men, not at women. Alright, little darling, now you may tell me—who are you?”

Ye Xiaoxuan’s mocking tone made both the woman and Hao Six-Fingers shudder; she was frightened, he was disgusted.

“I…” The woman hesitated to reveal her real name, but Ye Xiaoxuan grinned wickedly, flexing his fingers, which made her cry out, “We know each other—we met this afternoon!”

Ye Xiaoxuan laughed slyly, “Actually, I knew it was you all along. I recognized your scent, my sister Hua Lingluo!”

Hua Lingluo squirmed, her breath coming in gasps. “You know it’s me… yet you still won’t… let me go?”

Ye Xiaoxuan replied seriously, “No way! This is an opportunity offered up to me—I can’t let it slip, or the heavens will strike me down!”

“You scoundrel!” Hua Lingluo cursed angrily, struggling with all her might.

She wanted to shout abuse but was too embarrassed to speak. She tried to throw him off, but as she moved, she didn’t dare utter a sound to stop his actions.

“What are you two doing, groaning and writhing over there?” Hao Six-Fingers squatted nearby, baffled, watching the two pressed tightly together, with the man almost sprawled atop the woman. Had they both been bitten by a viper?
