Chapter 113 Malicious and Vicious
“I wonder if you’ll still be able to attain the land and beautiful women if you become a eunuch?”
At this moment, Lin Mengya was holding on to a plain but sharpened dagger in her hand.
In the following moment, an extremely high-pitched cry of agony proceeded from Hu Lunan’s mouth.
Thereafter, a smiling Lin Mengya was still holding on the dagger dripping with blood. Her smile remained demure and gentle, but ghostly.
“I’m, I’m going to kill you!”
Never would he expect that such a delicate-looking woman would act so viciously.
The excruciating pain went bone-deep and so it made Hu Lunan wail loudly.
Never in his life had he ever had such a strong urge to break someone’s neck.
“Painful? This is just the beginning! The pain you inflicted on Elder Sister Yueting would be inflicted on you by me bit by bit!”
With the smile still on her face, she wielded the dagger in the air once again. In a matter of minutes, a number of new wounds were inflicted on Hu Lunan’s thigh.
She had aimed fast and accurately at all the critical points on his thighs and soon, Hu Lunan fainted from too much pain and blood loss.
“Enough.”
As she lifted the dagger overhead in preparation for another stab when her hand was caught by a larger hand.
A seemingly demon-possessed Lin Mengya turned her angry eyes towards whoever was trying to stop her.
“Mengya, you’re going to kill him if you continue stabbing him.”
What kind of face did she have at this time? She was obviously smiling, but there was a heartbreaking melancholy in those eyes of her.
Long Tianhao lifted his other hand to wipe away the bloodstain on her face.
“Mengya, you have avenged for Yueting. Now, leave the rest to me.”
Finally, at Long Tianhao’s tender look, her hand which was holding tightly to the dagger relaxed.
Finally, life returned to Lin Mengya’s eyes. Big drops of tears came rolling down her cheeks.
“Elder Sister Yueting, Elder Sister Yueting, she…”
Yueting had made up most of her heartwarming memories of the past.
Although these memories were left behind by the owner of her present body, the emotions did not disappear just because of the exchange of souls in the body.
The warm cotton undercoat in winter, the fresh and rare seasonal fruits and vegetables, the jade ornaments and rings, and the make-up powder, all of these were the items Yueting had given to Lin Mengya, who had lost her mother since young. Yue Ting was the only person who gave Lin Mengya the feeling of warm womanly love.
Lin Mengya had not let herself shed a drop of tear because she had to continue protecting Yueting.
Nevertheless, when she was in Long Tianhao’s arms, she could no longer contain the sadness hidden deep inside her, and it came tumbling out.
“I’m going to kill him! I’m going to kill everyone who had ever bullied her!”
She kept repeating herself. She was just having a chat with Elder Sister Yueting the day before about her life which she was going to spend with her brother in future.
Within a short period of a day, this monstrous beast had ruined everything.
“Listen to me, Mengya, listen to me!”
A great hand held on to Lin Mengya head and a pair of lips went onto her trembling lips without any hesitation.
She looked as if she had gone zany, or become possessed. It wrenched his heart to see her in this manner.
Her freezing lips were warmed by Long Tianhao’s warm kiss.
It was a light kiss, without any lust, but it calmed Lin Mengya immediately.
“We do indeed have to take revenge, but now is not the right time.”
Lin Mengya’s intense emotions had taken away all her energy and left her totally drained.
She had turned into a rag doll in the embrace of Long Tianhao.
Long Tianhao used his plain color cape to wrap up the girl in his arms, then he stood up and looked at the man in the pool of blood with indifference in his eyes.
It was no wonder that the tiger had escaped at this precise moment, and not any other time.
This guy might have long planned to lure all the people out by a stratagem.
Although Long Tianhao had so badly wanted to end this guy’s life, however, it was as he had said to Lin Mengya, that it was not the right time.
He gave the man a hard kick and trampled fiercely on his back.
There was the sound of cracking bones, then Long Tianhao led Lin Mengya out of the tent.
With that blow, Long Tianhao had broken Hu Lunan’s spine.
For the rest of his life, Hu Lunan would not be able to move or speak anymore. He could only watch the world go by while keeping his eyes open.
He carried Lin Mengya and went around, taking a longer route to avoid the men standing guard.
Lin Mengya remained in his embrace quietly, and her big, dark eyes had lost their glow.
After pondering for a while, Long Tianhao changed his mind. He placed Lin Mengya on his horse and the two of them disappeared into the night.
Although the ride on the horse was bumpy, Lin Mengya remained silent and lifeless.
What happened to Yueting came as a huge blow to her.
Long Tianhao sighed softly as he clamped his legs on the belly of the horse.
Finally, the galloping horse brought the two people to a cave up the mountain.
Lin Mengya scanned the spacious caves with her pair of lifeless eyes.
“Where’s this place?”
She eventually squeezed out some words with difficulty as Long Tianhao carried her down from the horse.
“Follow me.”
Long Tianhao held on to her hand and walked into the cave while Lin Mengya followed closely behind.
After roughly twenty steps into the cave, there was a bend. Beyond the bend, there was a weakly burning fire.
Lin Mengya opened her eyes wide as she took in everything.
“How…”
With the weakly burning fire before her eyes, she spotted the huge mother white tiger, which was stiffening up.
At the belly of the mother white tiger was a newborn baby white tiger, aching its body and suckling on the mother’s tits.
“By the time we found her, she was already badly injured all over her body. I brought the vet to help her to deliver the baby. However, she was so seriously injured that she did not manage to pull through.”
Long Tianhao walked up to the tigers and carried the baby tiger, which was as big as a cat, into his arms.
This little guy had just entered the world and even before it opened its eyes, it had been orphaned.
“Are we going to bring it back with us?”
The baby tiger was fidgeting in Long Tianhao’s arms. Obviously, a big man like Long Tianhao was not very used to handling little furry animals.
In an awkward manner, he lifted the baby tiger and shoved it into Lin Mengya’s hands.
Lin Mengya instinctively took over the tiny living thing. As Lin Mengya set her eyes on this lovable, furry baby, her heart finally came back to life and started beating warmly.
“Wouldn’t it die if we just leave it here?”
Lin Mengya mumbled to herself, while she could not help but protect the baby tiger by shielding it with her hands.
The little guy must have been starving because it held on to Lin Mengya’s finger and kept sucking on it.
Its soft tongue did not stop licking Lin Mengya’s finger, making her finger feel ticklish and moist.
“Yes, there are wild wolves in this forest too. Once the fire is extinguished, the wild beasts would come to attack it.”
A mother’s love is great, although it was natural for wild beasts to be afraid of fire.
For the sake of its only child, the mother tiger finally decided to lay down by the fire.
She must have hoped that this little fire would protect its child, even if it was for a moment.
“I want to bring it home with me. We are keeping Snow anyway, and it doesn’t really make a difference keeping this baby tiger too.”
Lin Mengya could not bear to see the little guy die of starvation. Perhaps Elder Sister Yueting might like it too.
Oh no!
Lin Mengya was suddenly plagued with a bad feeling. At this moment, what Elder Sister Yueting needed most was for her to be by her side, keeping her company and comforting her.
She was so fixated on taking revenge that she had forgotten the most important thing.
“Let’s hurry back, Your Highness! I want to see Elder Sister Yueting now!”
Long Tianhao could see that Lin Mengya was back to her usual self, as she started to look worried.
Immediately, Long Tianhao’s heart, which had been left hanging, was finally at rest.
Fortunately, she had other worries that were more pressing than her own.
“Alright, let’s go right now.”
Once they got on the horse, Long Tianhao held on tightly to Lin Mengya and the baby tiger, and they galloped all the way back to the camping grounds.
Because of the escape of the tiger, coupled with what happened on the Second Prince of the western vassal state and Yueting, the entire camping ground was currently in a great frenzy.
Lin Mengya could not be bothered about other matters. Once she reached the camping ground, she dismounted the horse, carried the baby tiger in her arms and ran all the way back to their tent.
Long Tianhao remained sitting on the horseback, while his line of vision never left the running figure of Lin Mengya.
“I supposed you’re the one who did that to Hu Lunan?”
A voice echoed from behind Long Tianhao as he turned to realize that it was Long Qinghan, looking severe.
“He deserves death.”
Not to mention how he shamed Miss Yue with such a despicable method, he was even deserving of death given that he kidnapped Lin Mengya earlier on.
“I know he deserves to die, but look at how seriously injured he is now. This is as good as provoking King Ming to rage. Have you forgotten our objective for coming?”
Since young, one could not say that Long Tianhan had always blindly followed Long Tianhao in his ways.
However, the poised and controlled Third Elder Brother had always been his goal and role model.
However, Long Tianhao changed when Lin Mengya appeared.
He seemed to stop considering consequences to his action. All he was concerned about was how to please that woman.
Was this the same man as his respected Third Elder Brother?
“I didn’t forget, Qinghan. Aren’t you tired after all these years?”
Since he was more sensible, the love from His Majesty, his father was like a double-edged sword, where his mother and he had to dance carefully upon its blade.
He did not dare to desire for things he fancied. On the other hand, whatever the Crown Prince fancied, he had to avoid.
As time went by, he was used to shutting his heart, so much so that he did not even know what he really wanted nowadays.
However, Lin Mengya had opened him up to learn a new way of living his life.
She loved making known her thoughts and was overly confident. She did what her heart desired and there was no way people could force anything down her throat.
She was able to fend for herself, no matter what befell her. She was fearless. She even had the audacity to argue with heaven.
Such emotion was gradually digging up the pride that had been buried deep in him.
“Third Elder Brother, you knew this was not the best opportunity.”
A taste of bitterness started spreading within his mouth.
It was not because he did not have the desire to discuss important matters regarding the nation and to consolidate the country, thereby providing a safe haven for her people.
In fact, under the oppression of the Queen and the Crown Prince, Long Tianhao had no other choice but to end up as an idly prince, a useless person who had made himself a handicap.
