Chapter 108: Too Many Thorns
Shang Wuyang was in the house, reading a ledger and drinking tea.
Seeing him return, he glanced and said, “Where did you go? Your face is so dirty.”
Qin Wanwan had fallen while playing a game earlier, and she wiped her dirty little hands across her face, making her look like a tabby cat.
At this moment, she was lying on Xie Chong’s shoulder, half of her little face a mixture of white and black. With her face turned like this, her little mouth was slightly open, and she was even drooling a little.
Xie Chong said to Shang Wuyang, “She’s asleep today, so don’t bother her. She’s sleeping with me.”
Shang Wuyang put down the ledger in his hand, “On what grounds?”
“I am her Daddy. She has been going to your place at night for a month now. I agreed to let her go to your place when the weather gets cold, but it’s not cold yet.”
Shang Wuyang tutted, “I’m going to Shangjing immediately, and I don’t know when I’ll be back, so of course, I have to spend more time with her.”
Xie Chong: “That’s your business.”
She had Lu He carry Qin Wanwan to bathe; no matter what, she wouldn’t let him take her away today.
After Lu He carried Qin Wanwan away, Shang Wuyang seemingly unintentionally raised his hand, and a silver needle shot out from the ring on his finger.
Xie Chong reacted swiftly, drawing his dagger almost instantly to deflect the silver needle.
Xie Chong sneered, “City Lord Shang, these are the only insidious tricks you have, aren’t they?”
Shang Wuyang sat on the chair with his legs crossed, not surprised that he could block the silver needle.
“It’s easy to say. After all, I don’t have a healthy body like General Xie, so I can only think of other ways to protect myself.”
He said, lightly tapping the table with his finger, while his other hand lightly twirled his fan.
A prismatic hidden weapon flew out from the fan, accurately shooting towards Xie Chong.
“Let’s play a game.”
The hidden weapons in his hand attacked Xie Chong’s vital spots with every move, yet he spoke casually, “Let’s play a game.”
“As long as you can block all my hidden weapons, I won’t take Wanwan away tonight.”
Xie Chong skillfully dodged and drew the sword hanging on the wall.
“You are truly an unadulterated lunatic!”
Shang Wuyang laughed, and more hidden weapons flew towards him.
“Everyone says that about me. It’s not bad to be a madman.”
The hidden weapons were too dense; Xie Chong couldn’t get close to him.
But his skills were also not to be underestimated!
Half an hour later…
Xie Chong walked out expressionlessly, with small scratches on his face and hands.
Of course, there were also hidden weapons embedded in his body.
Even with his high martial prowess, he couldn’t withstand the sheer number of hidden weapons Shang Wuyang had on him.
He had to find a military doctor to pull out all the darts from his body.
Fortunately, Shang Wuyang hadn’t gone mad enough to put poison on those hidden weapons.
Shortly after Xie Chong left, a shadow guard wearing a ghost mask appeared in the room.
The walls and furniture in the house were littered with crooked hidden weapons.
The person who threw the hidden weapons was tied up and hung from the rafters.
Shang Wuyang, suspended, coughed a few times, his expression still quite calm.
His mask had fallen off, and he had bruises on his face and around his mouth.
He had been beaten.
Spitting out the cloth stuffed in his mouth, Shang Wuyang sneered.
“You petty guy, you made me lose a piece of clothing for nothing.”
That’s right, he had stuffed a piece of his clothing’s hem into his mouth.
The shadow guard: … Is that what you’re angry about?
Quickly untie him. I feel like our master is truly sprinting on the road to self-destruction.
Untying the rope, Shang Wuyang rubbed his wrist.
“He really tied me up like a dead pig.”
The bruises on his wrist looked terrifying.
The ghost mask shadow guard maintained a neutral expression.
Didn’t you also stick several needles into General Xie?
“Clean this place up. Find those hidden weapons for me, I still need them. And go get the hidden weapons that are in that dog Xie Chong’s body for this City Lord.”
After speaking, he threw away the tattered fan and left the General’s Mansion to return to his carriage.
The shadow guard resignedly picked up the thousands of hidden weapons.
“General Xie was actually able to block so many of Master’s hidden weapons. He truly is the undefeated legend of Tianqi.”
“Indeed. How many people who tried to assassinate Master has he killed with these hidden weapons? At such close range, he was only hit in non-vital areas. He must have shattered the furniture with his power.”
These shadow guards were loyal to Shang Wuyang, but in their hearts, they couldn’t help but feel a bit of admiration for Xie Chong.
Men, in general, admire those with strong martial prowess or those who can make them willingly submit.
Xie Chong was the former, and their master was the latter.
Xie Chong dragged the military doctor out of bed in the middle of the night. After having the darts removed from his body, he returned to sleep.
He lifted the covers and saw that there was only one person, but in reality, there were a pile of fluffy balls.
Xie Chong expressionlessly threw Keke and Hu Xiaoyue off the bed.
And the snake hidden beneath the bedsheet.
“Get out!”
He threw these animals, all of whom wanted to cuddle with his daughter, out the door, and Xie Chong slammed the door shut.
Keke grumbled, “What kind of Daddy is this? Keke used to sleep with me all the time. You’re the Daddy, so you’re amazing and can throw me out? You grew so big for nothing, with a heart as small as a needle. I’m such a tiny bird, how much space could I take up!”
He complained, but he still didn’t dare to provoke the Great Qilin.
It couldn’t even use magic power yet and could already pluck its fur. If it went back to the Heavenly Court after its tribulation, wouldn’t it boil itself alive?
Alas… Ever since the Qilin cub got a Daddy, he, Keke, has been living a life of lonely nights.
It’s so hard to endure~
The next day.
Before Qin Wanwan’s eyes were even open, a pair of chubby white hands began to grope around.
Then she touched Daddy’s face.
The beard, which was a little prickly, had a strong presence.
Qin Wanwan’s long, curled eyelashes fluttered slightly, and then she opened her eyes.
Huh? This Daddy seems a little strange.
She closed her eyes, then opened them to look again.
“It’s Daddy Xie~”
Her sweet and soft little voice was as tender as a kitten’s soft meows when acting spoiled.
So well-behaved.
Xie Chong couldn’t help but pinch her plump, tender little face.
This was his daughter.
It would be even better if that unlucky Shang Wuyang wasn’t competing with him for her.
