Chapter 232: Disfigurement, Gone Missing
“I’ll find a way. They aren’t that big of a hindrance if they don’t have that Su Yun woman to help them. There really is nothing else for me to fear.” Long Heng had been studying this area for many years as he’d always wanted to take down their headquarters. In the end, something good really had come out from all his effort.
“What? Why wouldn’t she help them anymore?” There’s no way she won’t help them, right? Didn’t they save her life? It’s obvious that she will put in her full effort to help Commander Lu defeat us so that she can gloat at Long Heng for not accepting her help! This is a woman with princess syndrome we’re talking about here!
“She received an injury while she was running away,” Long Heng replied unhurriedly.
“An injury? Where was she hurt?”
“Her face”
PFF! “Who injured her?”
“Me.”
“Sigh… can’t you just tell me everything at one go?” Bai Xiangxiu was anxious to hear the rest of the story, but Long Heng just had to choose this moment to treat his words like gold.
Su Yun reacted quickly and was able to avoid being struck on her vital points, but her face had been marked by the blade. However, she was quite ruthless and took her revenge as she jumped off the horse, slashing Commander Lu with a knife and severing the tendons on his heel. Long Heng didn’t pay any attention to that woman and was only focused on killing Commander Lu. Unfortunately, someone ended up coming to their rescue. Commander Lu managed to escape, but Su Yun was probably disfigured for life.
“That doesn’t sound right. You probably could’ve held back, so you did it on purpose, didn’t you?”
“Yes I did. You’re so smart.” Long Heng gently pinched Bai Xiangxiu’s cheeks and flopped onto the bed to rest with his limbs all sprawled out. He was being very casual. There wasn’t even a little bit of pretentiousness. Bai Xiangxiu suddenly realized that Su Yun had been dumb to think that she could conquer Long Heng. After all, Long Heng was a domineering CEO-type of man that specialized in curing princess syndromes. Su Yun would probably never forgive him for disfiguring her!
“I will raze the surrounding smaller camps to the ground tomorrow. Then, the capital is open for capture.”
“I see. Then you better get some rest.”
“Accompany me.” Long Heng took Bai Xiangxiu in his arms and whispered in her ear, “These past days have been very hard on you. I will definitely make it up to you when we return.”
“Who needs rewards? All I need to be content is to see you and Xiao Lin safe and happy.”
“Mm.” Long Heng nestled her in his arms, falling asleep while breathing in her fragrance. Bai Xiangxiu didn’t disrupt him either. Long Heng was showing her his most genuine side right now. She snuggled deeper into his embrace and wrapped her arms around him as she went to sleep.
Long Heng laughed and pinched her cheeks again. “That’s not what I’m trying to say. She would definitely be a great general if she were a man. She certainly has the confidence, and she has a certain way of presenting herself. These kinds of people are rare, but one also cannot rely on them.”
“Oh?”
“Her thoughts are too complex. She would never be able to stay loyal.”
“That’s true. But what if she was a man?”
“Nobody should ever trust a person who defects that easily. Moreover, I really dislike the way she looks at me. I’m a man; not prey. I can never become another woman’s prey. Except for you, of course.”
“Ah… what are you doing? Let me go! You’re heavy! What if someone suddenly barges in?”
“Don’t worry about it. Aren’t you a bold woman now? Why did you suddenly become so timid again?” Long Heng lifted her onto his belly and looked up at her. He seemed very amused when he saw the awkward look on her face, which was why he gently lifted her legs in order to tease her further.
“So timid that you’d beat up the citizens of Shu County?”
“Uh… They were the ones who struck first, alright? I thought that they were bandits!”
“Oh. So you seduced the enemy strategist because you were timid as well?”
“I just didn’t want him to call the guards so I had no choice but to seduce him. Are you mad at me?”
“What about lying to me? Did you do that because of your timidness?”
“When did I ever lie to you?!”
“While she was running away, Su Yun told me that you have another identity and that everything you’ve said before was all a lie.”
So Su Yun still believes that I’m a transmigrator! That’s probably why she told Long Heng that! “Then do you trust me or her more?”
