Demon King's Repayment - chapter 77

The person next to the bed turned his face on hearing Yuan Xiang accurately uttering what he used to be.

“You…you…” He whispered and finally showed a look of panic. In the era, men were respected. Most people had deep-rooted thoughts about male superiority and female inferiority. As a general who was powerful and fighting on the battlefield, perhaps from the bottom of his heart he was ashamed of becoming what he had become. It looked like he was really afraid of his original identity being discovered.

Where there was fear in the heart, there was room for negotiation, rather than asking for nothing and asking for death.

“So as long as you cooperate well, I won’t need to check,” Yuan Xiang said.

The person’s body trembled and he stayed on the ground, with a sad expression on his pale face, “What do you want me to cooperate with?”

He thought of something, turned his head away with red eyes, “I could never do that with a man.”

“No, no, I never meant that.” Yuan Xiang hurriedly denied, “I need you to eat something and take a good rest. Then we can discuss how to send you away and bring Lady Zhou back. After all, you are not willing to stay here and Master Zhou just wants to reunite with his wife.”

The man raised his head and stared at Yuan Xiang with red eyes, before squeezing out a few words, “You, are you lying to me?”

“Look, I have the ability to find out your identity, but you have no room to resist me. I have no need to lie to you.” Yuan Xiang spread her hands, “Unless you want to stay here and not leave. “

The man thought a lot and finally lowered his eyelashes and nodded.

Zhou Deyun was overjoyed and hurriedly waved to let the maid bring the rice porridge in.

The man pursed his mouth and turned his head away, “Previously, they added drugs to the meal before they caught me.”

Yuan Xiang looked at Zhou Deyun. Zhou Deyun blushed and hurriedly explained, “I listened to Zhang Daxian, he said that as long as the yin and yang were reconciled, I could save my lady. I made this move in panic.”

“But I swear I didn’t do anything to him,” he muttered pointing to the wound on his face. “Even after the drug was taken by him, I was not his opponent and got beaten out of the bedroom.”

“That’s alright. To prove your innocence, taste it first,” Yuan Xiang didn’t bother to listen to his explanation.

Zhou Deyun told the maid to divide a small bowl of porridge, and drank it in one gulp.

The man nodded in acceptance. He was hungry for a few days and was extremely weak. He barely drank a few sips of porridge and soon fell asleep.

Zhou Deyun came out behind Yuan Xiang and happily rubbed his hands back and forth, “Sir’s disciple is really extraordinary. Your coming has relieved my urgent need. I am really grateful. What else should I prepare next?”

“He is too weak, let him rest first. Wait for a while and then we can look at the situation.” Yuan Xiang stopped, “If you drug him again, I will leave.”

Zhou Deyun frowned, “Never again. In fact, I am quite afraid of him. If it weren’t for the lady, I wouldn’t want to get close to that person. To be honest, when he said he was killed on the battlefield, I believed it. The soldiers who have been on the field are different. Although he still looks like my lady, whenever he glanced at me, I got cold back and my calves trembled. Nothing could be done.”

Wu Yuan waited for a long time, moved to Yuan Xiang’s ear and said, “Since there is nothing to do now, let’s go out and play. I saw jugglers and big bird jugglers on the way just now. I want to see it now.”

Yuan Xiang agreed and walked out with a smile. It didn’t take long to walk out of Zhou’s house. She found that the pedestrians were looking behind them.

Many young ladies had blushed, twirling their kerchiefs and looking forward frequently.

“Oh, look at that man.”

“Is he a prince? So handsome!”

“He looks so unique. The man is unparalleled.”

“In the past, when I read such a thing in books, I did not believe it. But today I know what a gentleman like jade is.”

The girls and the little ladies, half covering their faces, whispered. Although the status of men was higher than that of women in the world, the folk customs were not too conservative. Ordinary women could also go out and walk. There was no restriction that they couldn’t show their faces. It was just such a bold and straightforward compliment to a man that Yuan Xiang had seen for the first time without the glamor of throwing fruit.*

She turned to follow their gazes. Beside the purple stone road, under the snow-covered eaves, there was a tall man standing alone. The man was wearing a silk gown, black gold boots.

“Nan He? Why are you here?” Yuan Xiang cheered and ran forward.

The moment she saw Nan He, Yuan Xiang’s mood got better as she ran to him.

“When did you come? How did you find me?” She said in surprise, “Oh, you look so good in this robe.”

She just didn’t know why the handsome man who suddenly appeared in front of her looked a bit resentful.

Yuan Xiang shook her head, throwing away the absurd thoughts in her mind, “Why did you come here, can you leave in the skeletal phase? This place is far away from Celestial Wolf mountain, doesn’t it matter if the Qi is thin?”

Miaomiao11:

Throwing fruits: Pan An, was a handsome man in ancient china. Whenever he went out sightseeing, he was always followed by a number of young girls, just like a current superstar is chased by fans. His fans, who were both young and old women, bought him flowers and fruits, some even throwing them in front of him.
