[GL]Whose Wife Is Always Acting Pitiful? Oh, It Turns Out It’s Mine 101

Chapter 101: Playful Banter and Angry Scolding

After Xue Mu explained clearly the cause and effect of Xue Wuluo coming to the Xue family, Han Yan immediately asked, “Where is that Maiden Xue now?”

Xue Mu paused and said, “She went to find another sworn sister of mine who ran away from home. But don’t worry, she might rush to Huangding Mountain later. Maybe she has already arrived, at least faster than our progress.”

Han Yan responded softly, staring somewhat absentmindedly at the path ahead without saying a word.

Xue Mu said, “Maiden Han Yan, Cloud Appreciation Mountain is just ahead. Look at the dispute between you and my sister…”

Han Yan came back to her senses, seemingly a bit distracted by what Xue Mu said. “Heroine Xue, do you want to come up the mountain and sit for a while?”

Today was already the ninth of the tenth month. Xue Mu thought for a moment, exchanged glances with Dugu Yuan’an in the carriage, and said, “If Maiden Han Yan wants to take my sister up the mountain for punishment, I’m afraid she won’t escape the word ‘death’.”

Han Yan glanced at the carriage. Originally, she wanted to catch Diwu Miaofu and take her to Cloud Appreciation Mountain to hand over to the Sect Leader Master for punishment. Even if she couldn’t kill her with her own hands, the Sect Leader Master would kill her for the sake of her disciple’s reputation. But arriving at Cloud Appreciation Mountain, she hesitated a little. Thinking that the truth of Xue Mu’s words was hard to distinguish, she said, “I will temporarily not inform the Sect Leader Master.”

Xue Mu thought for a moment and said, “That’s fine too.”

Diwu Miaofu poked her head out again and shouted, “No good! No good! This woman tricked me into the mountain just to let her master kill me! Sister Xue, don’t believe her!”

Xue Mu said angrily, “I don’t believe her, I believe you? You bullied someone and still think you are in the right!”

Diwu Miaofu shouted, “Anyway, I won’t go! I won’t go! I’ll talk to her alone, anyway I won’t go up Cloud Appreciation Mountain!”

With that, she stepped on the wooden board and leaped up, using her lightness skill to fly onto the horse Han Yan was riding. Circulating internal force, she hit the horse’s butt, startling the steed into almost rearing up and galloping forward frantically!

Diwu Miaofu snapped the rope securing the guqin on Han Yan’s back, hugged the girl’s waist firmly with one hand, tucked the guqin under her arm with the other, and shouted loudly, “Let’s go!”

Xue Mu stared dumbfounded as the steed ran away. This change truly caught the two off guard. Dugu Yuan’an sighed lightly and said, “Mu’er, the sworn sister you recognized, you go discipline her yourself.”

Xue Mu’s vision went dark. Holding her forehead, she murmured, “Let them handle it themselves. I… I don’t care anymore. Whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with me, nothing to do with me…”

Dugu Yuan’an smiled. “Let’s go back to the town and stay.”

Xue Mu took a deep breath and slapped her forehead. “Everyone in town must know that the disciples of the Cloud Appreciation Mountain Sect fought with someone and smashed their teahouse! If you and I go back to the town, won’t we be pointed at and laughed at!”

Dugu Yuan’an said, “What does it matter if others point? Besides, they were the ones fighting, not us.”

Xue Mu shook her head, jumped off the horse, got into the carriage, hugged Dugu Yuan’an, and said gently, “Yuan’er, you are still the strong one. I really admire you.”

“Is the Fire Poison in your body almost dissolved?” Dugu Yuan’an asked.

Xue Mu kissed her face and smiled. “Yes, after my internal energy increased a lot, I used that mantra more skillfully. That Fire Poison is no longer a threat to me.”

The sound of babbling water drifted into the carriage with the wind, like a natural and quiet zither tune, flowing slowly in their hearts. Dugu Yuan’an’s fingers tapped lightly on the window sill, unconsciously beating to the rhythm of the water flow outside. The storms and struggles, gratitude and grudges in the Jianghu were not as real as Xue Mu snuggling in her arms taking a nap at this moment.

She looked down gently at Xue Mu’s lowered eyelashes, flicking them lightly with her fingertips. The soft eyelashes brushed across her fingertips, leaving a ticklish sensation.

Diwu Miaofu and Han Yan rode the same horse, galloping around the foot of Cloud Appreciation Mountain. The two had already started fighting on horseback. Han Yan tried to grab the guqin, but her finger was solidly kissed by Diwu Miaofu. Annoyed and hateful, she couldn’t help cursing, “Lecherous prodigal! Shameless! Disgusting!”

This seemed to be the worst cursing she could muster. Diwu Miaofu laughed heartily and said, “You don’t know how to curse, I’ll teach you—Were you born to save some rations for the people of the Jianghu?”

Failing to grab the guqin, hearing her say such a senseless sentence, Han Yan was stunned. “What does that mean?”

“People of the Jianghu look at your face and can’t even eat! Hahaha!” Diwu Miaofu laughed wildly. “See, you don’t understand!” Then she added, “But you are beautiful, presumably no one would say such roundabout words to you.”

Han Yan’s face darkened. “I won’t learn your cursing words! Despicable, shameless, obscene villain!”

Diwu Miaofu laughed. “If you don’t know, I’ll teach you! There is another sentence you definitely haven’t heard—You are really good, really good!”

Han Yan was stunned again by her words. Isn’t this a sentence of praise?

Diwu Miaofu laughed a few times and said, “You are really good. Wherever you go, you can make others feel that they are living well!” This means you are really terrible. Wherever you live and are seen by others, even the most miserable person can find a sense of superiority in front of you.

From resentment to anger, and then to a little curiosity quietly emerging in her heart at this moment, Han Yan said, “Is this all your cursing skill?”

“There’s more. You are a treasure of the Jianghu—” Diwu Miaofu paused deliberately. Han Yan frowned. “If you don’t say the second half, how do I know if it’s praise or cursing?”

“You are a treasure of the Jianghu. Besides you, who else can make so many jokes to make everyone laugh?” Diwu Miaofu grinned. Han Yan frowned. “This doesn’t have much stinging power either.”

The galloping speed of the steed slowed down. Han Yan tried to grab the guqin, but her waist was firmly imprisoned by an arm. She said angrily, “Still not letting go!” When she turned her face, hot breath hit Diwu Miaofu’s lips. Diwu Miaofu’s long and beautiful eyes stared at Han Yan’s face, and she said out of the blue, “You are so amazing.”

Thinking she was cursing herself in a roundabout way again, Han Yan said grumpily, “Don’t think I can’t beat you!”

Smelling the faint floral fragrance emanating from her body, Diwu Miaofu exerted force with her hand, placing the guqin horizontally in front of Han Yan. For a moment, Han Yan thought she was plotting against her, and said in shock and suspicion, “What are you doing?”

“Maiden Han Yan, you are so amazing,” Diwu Miaofu said.

Han Yan’s fingertips lingered on the strings, and she said coldly, “You haven’t truly seen my amazingness yet.” As soon as her voice fell, a white silk ribbon suddenly floated before her eyes, and a warm softness pressed against her earlobe.

“Running to the Central Plains these days… it’s hard to forget you even if I wanted to.” Diwu Miaofu said. When she ran away, she was also confused and suspicious, only thinking that Han Yan bullied her after being poisoned by the Gu. Every day and night, she couldn’t forget that pretty face full of killing intent, couldn’t forget that desperate and grief-stricken look.

Han Yan stood motionless, her face flushing red instantly. Indignantly, she circulated internal force to use the zither sound to shake Diwu Miaofu to death. The steed had stopped. Diwu Miaofu accurately caught her fingers, wrapping them in her own palm.

“Maiden Han Yan, I’ll marry you as my wife.” She said this sentence with extreme seriousness.
