Chapter 280 - 130 Chen Jie: Madam, Please Respect Yourself!

"Ah, what are you doing!"

No one had expected the woman to act so crazily, everyone was startled and cried out in alarm, and Zheng Chuan was so scared that he even loosened his grip on the knife.

He did not want to die; he just wanted to escape.

But having killed Nan Batian’s woman, he feared he would not find peace even if he were to escape Mianshui County, let alone the possibility of escaping at all.

He did not want to kill Huang Wan’er, but Huang Wan’er genuinely wanted to commit suicide.

So, as her pale neck was about to touch Zheng Chuan’s knife, Zheng Chuan, out of fear, withdrew his knife.

And in that moment, Chen Jie sharply seized the fleeting opportunity.

A glint of cold light struck first, followed by the spear thrusting forth like a dragon!

[The setting sun on the river, the lonely smoke rises straight, flying geese send old friends—separation!]

Stab!

The long spear suddenly thrust out, piercing directly through Zheng Chuan’s throat with a sputtering sound.

Puh...

A stream of fresh blood sprayed directly onto Huang Wan’er’s face, and the blue monk’s robe was also splattered with blood, turning red.

Zheng Chuan’s face showed shock, and even before he died, he was still muttering, "Crazy woman, she’s really damn crazy!"

His body slowly fell, and thus Zheng Chuan was speared to death by Chen Jie.

By now, Huang Wan’er’s half face that was close to Zheng Chuan was covered in bright red blood, half her face as white as a fairy, the other half seductively like a demoness.

This made Huang Wan’er look even more twisted and captivating.

She stood there listening to the sound of the body falling behind her, her eyes constantly on Chen Jie.

The resoluteness with which this man had acted had greatly shocked her.

And as the long spear grazed past her cheek, the impact of that feeling, that shock of impending death, gave her an immense thrill.

Listening to the wind by her ear, feeling the warm blood with its metallic scent splattering on her face was a bizarre sensation.

She could not help but tremble, not out of fear, but out of excitement.

Her heart, which had numbed, was strangely activated at that moment.

Thump, thump...

Feeling her heartbeat quicken, she felt like she was finally alive.

She trembled, her mouth stiffly forcing a smile, very rigidly because it had been so long since she had last smiled, she had forgotten how to.

But at that moment, she really wanted to smile.

What a curious feeling, as if on cloud nine.

She stared intently at Chen Jie, her gaze unyielding.

She smiled at the man before her.

And Chen Jie felt something entirely different.

He had decisively thrust his spear out moments ago, and from his angle, the best killing angle was to graze past the guild leader’s wife’s pretty face, an angle that was perfect for killing Zheng Chuan.

He acted decisively.

And the outcome was as good as he imagined.

The long spear grazed past the woman’s beautiful cheek, a single thrust completed the kill.

But from the woman’s perspective, how terrifying that strike must have been, as though Death had brushed past her.

And now she was trembling, definitely scared.

And with blood splattered on her face, what a terrifying thing it must be for an ordinary woman, undoubtedly it is a nightmare not easily forgotten.

A nightmare indeed.

Look at this woman, she was so scared that she, she was actually smiling at him.

And smiling so creepily.

Under the surrounding firelight, she was beautiful yet a bit eerie...

"Madam, Madam!"

Seeing this, the maid finally reacted, rushing over and crying out in alarm.

At the same time, Master Jingxiang also gathered around, watching the guild leader’s wife anxiously.

Huang Wan’er came back to her senses, her face becoming somewhat flushed.

After being called by the maid a couple of times, she finally said, "I’m fine."

"But Madam, your face is all covered in blood."

Hearing this, Huang Wan’er said, "It’s the thief’s, not mine."

Having heard this, the maid suddenly reacted, and then, turning her head, glared angrily at Chen Jie, "You, what were you thinking, it was so dangerous just now, how could you dare to move, if you had harmed Madam, what then!"

The maid spoke angrily, for if Chen Jie had made a mistake just now, everyone present would have been buried with them.

Do you think the wife of Mianshui County’s number one gang’s leader is so easy to provoke? Mess this up, and it could cost you your life!

Therefore, the maid was terrified, truly terrified and unsettled, now she could only vent all her fears and anxieties.

Hearing this, Chen Jie did not speak, Huang Wan’er said, "Du Juan, shut up, the gentleman here saved me, why are you questioning him!"

Du Juan replied, "Madam, you almost died just now!"

Huang Wan’er said, "How is it that you no longer listen to what I say?"

Upon hearing this, Du Juan immediately lowered her head, she dared not disrupt the hierarchy between servants and their master.

Chen Jie also felt that he might have scared the guild leader’s wife just now, so he said, "Madam, things were urgent just now, I didn’t think much, if I have disturbed Madam, please forgive me."

Huang Wan’er smiled slightly and said, "No, I’m fine, the gentleman acted just in time to save me, I should be thanking you."

Chen Jie hastily said, "I dare not, I dare not."

Huang Wan’er smiled faintly, "You’re too humble, gentleman, by the way, I still don’t know your name, may I ask?"

"White Tiger Hall’s Chen Jiusi."

"White Tiger Hall, oh, it’s Uncle Peng’s home."

Uncle, also called elder uncle, the wife of a younger brother addresses the elder brother.

Chen Jie immediately said, "Yes, Madam, it’s getting late, I’ve disrupted your tranquility, we’ll come by to apologize another day, I will take my leave now."

Huang Wan’er squinted her eyes and said, "Coming over to apologize? You’re not trying to deceive me, are you?"

Chen Jie said, "I dare not."

"Alright, I’ll wait for your visit. But if you don’t come, then I might come looking for you?"
