Nan Xing frowned and told a story about repaying a favor in extremely dry language.
This was the only story that woman told him when he was a child. Even after so many years, he thought he had forgotten it, but he still remembered it...
Jiang Tang tilted his head and commented: "It really doesn't sound good."
The young man looked indifferent: "I said I won't."
After he finished speaking, he turned around to leave, but as soon as he moved, the girl behind him grabbed him by the corner of his clothes.
Perhaps this action she did was so natural that for a moment, he even forgot to be angry.
"Don't leave in a hurry yet."
When he turned around again, Jiang Tang already had a smile on his face: "I also have a story here, which is exactly the opposite of yours. Do you want to listen to it?"
Nan Xing didn't notice what the girl was saying for a while, his eyes were involuntarily attracted to her smile.
He couldn't figure it out. He obviously kidnapped her and could kill her at any time. Why could she still smile at him without reservation?
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."
Jiang Tang let go of his hand and cleared his throat before telling the story:
"A long time ago, one cold winter, a farmer picked up an abandoned baby on his way home. He took the baby home..."
The originally indifferent young man's eyes finally changed a little when he heard "abandoned baby" again.
It's just that the changes are so subtle that it's hard to spot.
"The farmer's wife disagrees because their family is very poor and they still have their own children to raise. How can they raise another child?"
Compared with Nan Xing, Jiang Tang's eloquence was much better: "After the farmer's persuasion, his wife finally agreed to raise the abandoned baby. But she was angry, so she treated the abandoned baby very badly. It was not that she forgot to feed it milk.
I just forgot to cover him with a quilt."
"She wanted him dead, but she didn't want to kill him with her own hands."
Nan Xing suddenly said something. When Jiang Tang looked over, he lowered his head and she couldn't see his expression clearly.
"Yes, you are right."
Jiang Tang's smile was still bright, which was very different from the story she was telling.
"One year, there was a famine in the village. The farmer and his two children died. Only the abandoned baby and the farmer's wife survived."
Inexplicably, as soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience noticed a subtle aura.
"Then the famine ended, but the surviving peasant woman became very irritable. She began to bully and abuse the abandoned baby even more. She took all the wages he earned and didn't allow him to make any friends. If he dared to resist, she would scold him.
He's 'ungrateful. If she hadn't fed him with the family's rations, he would have died!'"
"It was you! It was you who killed them! Without you, my husband and my son would not have died!"
"Every time the peasant woman mentioned this, the child would choose to compromise and tolerate everything he had.
Jiang Tang raised his eyes and looked at the young man beside him: "Natural and man-made disasters are never something that people can change. And she agreed to adopt the abandoned baby at that time. In this case, why doesn't she blame herself?"
Nan Xing felt that Jiang Tang's reasoning was a bit crooked, but couldn't tell what was wrong for a while, so he asked her in silence: "What happens next?"
"Then," Jiang Tang's attention returned as expected: "Then with the child's tolerance, the peasant woman's attitude became even worse, until one day, when she deliberately found trouble and insulted her again, he suddenly got violent and killed her.
Already."
Nan Xing suddenly raised his head and looked at Jiang Tang, his eyes shocked and complicated.
Jiang Tang said: "Don't look at me like that. I said from the beginning that this is a story completely opposite to yours. Have you forgotten?"
Nan Xing remembered what he had just said.
She was right. If he told a story of "repaying gratitude", then she told a story of "ungratefulness".
The boy didn't speak for a long time, and he didn't know what he thought. Jiang Tang just pretended not to notice, stood up from the grass, clapped his hands: "Let's go back, I'm really hungry."
"No need to go back."
Nan Xing raised his head and looked at her: "If you want to eat grilled fish, I can catch it."
Jiang Tang looked at him in surprise: "Huh?"
It wasn't until the boy got up to catch fish in the river that the system secretly popped out, feeling a little worried:
[Host, your story is too obvious. He won’t misunderstand that you are sowing discord, right?]
Jiang Tang: "No misunderstanding, I am."
System: Ah this...
"You go handle the fish and I'll let you taste the grilled fish."
Jiang Tang said, rolling up his sleeves to pick out the spices the young man brought.
When he showed up with such a fierce look, she thought he must have brought nothing with him.
Soon, Nan Xing's fish was processed and handed to Jiang Tang.
As a man who has studied cooking, Jiang Tang is very confident in his skills.
Nan Xing's eyes became a little complicated when he saw the girl happily spreading the seasonings and humming an unknown song while grilling the fish.
He really couldn't understand this woman.
"Okay, I'll give you the first one. You can try it and see if it tastes good. If it doesn't taste good, you won't be charged~"
Jiang Tang smiled and handed a piece of grilled fish to the boy. There was still dust on her white face, but she didn't know it.
Nan Xing did not refuse this time and took it silently.
Seeing this, Jiang Tang happily went to grill the second fish.
While she was grilling fish, the boy's eyes could not help but fall on her again.
He seemed to know why King Rong fell in love with her. She had an inexplicable magical power. No matter what kind of person was around her, she would become peaceful involuntarily.
and……
Her grilled fish is really delicious.
Although he doesn't show it on the surface, the speed at which the young man eats fish has proven everything.
When he was about to finish eating, the girl said casually: "So that person must be your mother."
Nan Xing paused and retorted almost without hesitation: "She is not my mother!"
That cold and terrifying look, as if if Jiang Tang said one more word, he would draw his sword the next moment.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jiang Tang was not afraid, but looked into his eyes and said with a smile: "Then do you want to know who your mother is?"
The boy's pupils shrank.
Jiang Tang continued to speak, quite like the bewitching old witch in fairy tales: "You know about me, then you should also know that I am good at helping people find people. The murderer who killed Sheng Meiren's son back then,
I found it. If you want to know, I can help you..."
"No!" Before Jiang Tang could finish speaking, the young man who had gotten along well just now stood up without hesitation: "I don't want to know."
After saying this, without giving Jiang Tang any chance to confuse him, he left quickly without even taking away his tools.
Just the silhouette of his back fell into Jiang Tang's eyes, and he felt like he was running away.
-
"Did you kill her?"
Nan Xing had just returned to the room when he heard a familiar and cold voice ringing in the room.
When I looked up, who could it be if it wasn't that person?
She seemed really eager to kill Jiang Tang and even went to his room herself.
Nan Xing's eyes dimmed: "No."
"What?"
The woman who had already smiled and was about to give him a "reward" suddenly darkened her face after hearing this: "You say it again?"
She stood up from the stool. She was obviously not that tall, but the momentum she exuded seemed to suppress the young man.
"I said I haven't killed her yet."
Nan Xing raised his head and looked at the woman. Even though he was calm, he was surprised.
"Do you want to betray me?"
The woman was indeed very angry. He saw her arms trembling, as if she wanted to lift them up and give him a blow.
"You don't even listen to me? You useless trash, beast! If it weren't for me, you would have died a long time ago! You ungrateful bastard!"
"Killers have no heart."
Just before the woman was about to continue insulting her, he suddenly said: "How can you be ungrateful? Even if you are really ungrateful, so what?"
The woman was stunned for a moment and looked at her with a confused expression, as if she didn't understand what he said.
Or maybe you heard it but didn't want to believe it.
How could the person who always listened to her the most contradict him?
"I will kill her, but not now. There's no point in urging her."
He couldn't stay in the room any longer. After Nan Xing said this, he turned around and left.
Seeing that he was about to leave, the woman finally came to her senses: "Stop! Come back! I won't let you go!"
But he didn't listen.
The woman slowly raised her hand and pressed her chest.
What's going on? It's obviously just a tool that takes advantage of me. Why is she feeling so uncomfortable?
The position of the heart felt as if someone had pinched it hard.
"Killers have no heart."
His cold words were still ringing in her ears, but her heart ached again.
Nan Xing slowly stopped after taking a few steps out of the room.
He thought back to the shocked expression of the woman he just saw.
She seemed a little sad and unbelievable, maybe it was just his illusion.
But no matter what, he found that when he saw her expression, he felt indescribably happy.
As if hurting her would really make him happy.
Maybe just as the girl said, he is not a good person...
-
Seeing Jiang Tang's provocation with his own eyes, the system's mood was very complicated.
It is a bit autistic, but the host is really powerful. Every time she wants to do something, she will always succeed.
Even if it wants to stop it, it's useless.
Will there come a time when she really doesn't need it?
Just when the system was gradually shutting down, Jiang Tang suddenly said: "What is Xiao Yinhan doing recently?"
【Um?】
The system was stunned for a moment, and then it was ecstatic when it reacted: [Host, are you finally free to care about the male protagonist? 】
For the first time in so many days, Jiang Tang took the initiative to care about Xiao Yinhan, which made the system happy and almost wanted to set off firecrackers.
[The male protagonist is...]
System, who was originally full of joy, suddenly lowered his voice after seeing the current situation clearly:
[The male protagonist did not choose to reanimate your host's "corpse". Instead, he occupied the largest ice cellar in the summer resort and put the corpse in it.
He sent people back to the palace to make preparations to dig out thousand-year-old ice in the Tianshan Mountains and expand the palace's ice cellar...]
"He's crazy!"
Jiang Tang frowned.
Even if you don't say it explicitly, you can always tell what the other party is going to do.
Jiang Tang actually knew about Nan Xing's back-up plan at that time, so she naturally knew how terrifying the corpse would look like in the future.
She even had a little bit of malice in it, deliberately wanting to piss someone off.
Precisely because she knows, she can't understand you. Why would he go crazy and leave such a corpse behind?
She was angry. She glanced at the [Blackening Value] and found that there was no change in it. She was temporarily relieved.
"He is so crazy, no one can stop him?"
The system wants to say, without you as the host, who dares to stop him?
I heard Jiang Tang ask again: "Where is the heroine? Does she not care?"
Without her as a "stumbling block", she wouldn't believe that she would not act wisely and cause trouble quickly.
[The heroine, the heroine, she...]
The system doesn't want to talk anymore.
With the heroine's ruthless physique, she will definitely run into trouble whenever she appears.
Because after Xiao Yinhan found Jiang Tang's "body", he locked himself up and disappeared.
Emperor Huaiwen, who originally wanted to use her to "appease" his son, rarely interfered again.
So Bai Muzhi had to temporarily live in the summer resort. While living there, she met Princess Jinyao, who had always been at odds with her.
Princess Jinyao wanted to play polo with her, but Bai Muzhi was in a bad mood and wanted to refuse.
It's just that the princess is favored and has been held in high esteem since childhood. How can she tolerate her refusal?
"No, you can't leave without a fight today!"
Princess Jinyao directly asked the guards to block Bai Muzhi's way, and she was ready to fight her to the end.
Yue Nanwan, who was on the side, sighed and advised softly: "Since Miss Bai is unwilling, the princess should let her go. If someone misunderstands you and says you bully her..."
"What's wrong with bullying her?"
Princess Jinyao looked sideways at Bai Muzhi: "Her followers are not here today, let's see who can help her!"
She just couldn't stand this woman. She obviously couldn't compare to him in appearance and family background, but she was obsessed with all those men and praised her as a goddess.
"Cry if you can. Cry louder. Maybe I will let you go when I am happy."
Princess Jinyao's words made Bai Muzhi's face darken: "Has Princess Jinyao forgotten the previous lesson?"
"How dare you say that! If it weren't for you, how could this princess be punished by the Four Emperors?"
Princess Jin Yao immediately exploded: "Today we will settle old and new grudges together. If you feel like it, just take it!"
The more she spoke, the angrier she became, and she even raised her riding crop to whip it at Bai Muzhi.
A flash of surprise flashed in Yue Nanwan's eyes, and she "nervously" wanted to stop her: "Princess, please don't be impulsive..."
"Xiao Jinyao!"
A cold, deep male voice sounded from behind with a terrifying intimidation. Princess Jinyao's hand shook and she almost threw the riding crop away.
Turning around to see who was coming, he trembled even more fiercely: "Four, Fourth Brother, why are you here?"
Seeing the handsome man walking towards them with a gloomy face, Princess Jinyao went crazy and wanted to scream. Didn't it mean that the fourth emperor brother had a deep love for his concubine because he didn't care about her until she died?
Why did he show up as soon as she bullied this guy named Bai?
Rumors kill me!
"That's not the case, I was just joking with her... Brother Four Emperors, don't get me wrong!" She was at a loss to explain.
Bai Muzhi stared blankly at the man walking towards her, her heart beating wildly uncontrollably.
