Chapter 164: Hysteria In The Building
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Just as Fang Zhengzhi was about to get a clearer look at the lady who fell, she already covered her face with both hands. She jumped up so quickly that she almost flew and immediately sprinted into the residence.
"Ah! The smell, ugh…"
A pitiful and miserable moan reverberated within the walls of the residence.
The feet-washing water that was left to sit for a week permeated every inch of her body from top to bottom… Such a feeling could only be fully appreciated by those who had experienced it.
Especially the "Ouch" that came after Ping Yang planted her butt on the ground.
It was subconsciously made but the cause of such a sound was enough to destroy her appetite for the whole week…
Ping Yang ran, leaving a trail of water as it dripped from her body. She did not stay at the gates for long. Instead, she abandoned her panic-stricken Snow White and ran into the residence alone.
Upon seeing this scene…
Everyone in the Ping Yang Residence finally had a chance to react. A whole bunch of handmaidens, guards, servants, including the middle age man standing behind Fang Zhengzhi, took off immediately chasing behind Ping Yang like the wind.
…
Fang Zhengzhi looked at the suddenly deserted residence gates, he was slightly taken aback.
What was going on?
Why was everyone chasing behind that lady? Will there still be anyone showing him the way? Where exactly was this birthday banquet going to take place?
Nevermind, let's just go with the flow.
Fang Zhengzhi did not think much of it. Since everyone was following that lady, he might as well follow and take a look.
Surely this wouldn't be the wrong way, would it?
…
Ping Yang's destination was clear. She needed water. Clean, warm water.
In this humongous estate, there were flowers, grass, hills, trees and of course, water. However, that was the clear pond water and Ping Yang would never jump into it.
After all, there were numerous guests present. If any rumours of the incident like Ping Yang jumping into in pond within the residence to commit suicide were to spread, she would predictably become the laughing stock of Yan Capital.
Therefore, Ping Yang purposefully ran in the direction of a pre-prepared bathtub.
The handmaidens knew where Ping Yang was headed and they knew very well what was inside. So, they must reach there before Ping Yang and scoop that creature out of the water.
Fang Zhengzhi's walking pace was not slow but the crowd in front was in such a hurry that he had no choice but to increase his speed.
He caught up quickly.
"Thump!"
The building's door finally flung open by the two handmaidens in a mad rush, under the stares of the guests with their mouth agape.
Following close behind, all those guards and servants kneeled down one after another.
Ping Yang dashed in.
The only thing was she did not realise that someone followed her in.
That, someone, was Fang Zhengzhi.
Along the way, he saw more and more guests. So, he was quite pleased with himself for choosing to follow this crowd.
He was still curious. Why did the lady bring him into one of the rooms in the living quarters? Wasn't the banquet suppose to be in the main hall?
Was it moved to the living quarters instead?
Or was this part of the living quarters part of the Small Dimension?
Fang Zhengzhi still did not fully understand this world. He was here to eat. After following the right people, he arrived and sat down obediently waiting for the food to be served.
The bunch of servants and guards kneeling outside did not dare to raise their heads. Therefore, they did not realise Fang Zhengzhi rushing into the quarters after following them there.
Scooping out the Scarlet Thread Cyclops Viper in time was all that occupied the minds of the front two handmaidens. They did not even have time to think that someone would be foolhardy enough to follow in behind them.
Ping Yang only had the thought of bathing on her mind. As soon as possible.
Hence, after entering the living quarters, she made a mad dash towards the direction of the bathtub. All the while, she was taking off her clothes piece by piece.
The stench…
The stench was just too strong!
She could bear it no longer.
From the outer red dress, moving on to the inner silk shirt. Ping Yang was taking it off at light speed. At this point, she had lost the patience to elegantly let her handmaidens undress her.
Unfortunately, Fang Zhengzhi was following right behind.
What the hell? We are here to eat! What are you undressing for?
The sight before him was quickly turning into one that was not meant for children. A strong feeling of justice welled up in his chest. He definitely could not allow such an unsightly scene unfold.
This mistress of Ping Yang Residence first send him silver taels, now lured him into the living quarters and intending to use such a cheap trick to get close to him.
There was absolutely no way that he was going to let the other party have their way.
"Stop you devil! This gentleman here is not this kind of man!" Fang Zhengzhi's voice rang out in the quarters. He was going to suppress the lady's evil aura with his aura of justice.
Ping Yang froze.
The two handmaidens that were trying to scoop up the viper froze too.
Three pairs of eyes slowly turned.
Then, they all saw a man standing behind Ping Yang. That garb consisting of a blue Changshan gently swaying…
"Fang Zhengzhi?!"
The two handmaidens' jaw dropped in shock.
While Ping Yang's face lost all its colour. No matter how much she thought about it, she could not understand why Fang Zhengzhi was behind her and within the room in the living quarters?
Of course, that was not the most important detail. What was most important was…
She was naked.
As she turned her head, her body naturally followed.
Fang Zhengzhi did not wish for this scene to unfold. However, he did indeed see a pure untouched body of a maiden.
"Ah! You despicable lowlife!" Ping Yang was the first to react. Initially, she wanted to give him a thundering slap but there was still a distance between them.
Therefore, she went with the next alternative. Find a place to hide.
So…
She saw the bathtub behind her, and the two handmaidens silently standing there.
Ping Yang did not think too much.
Since they already stopped moving, then it definitely meant that the viper was out of the water.
Following that, in a movement quicker than the time it takes to blink, she jumped. Like a fairy dancing in the breeze, she entered the tub in one graceful leap.
The two handmaidens were completely overwhelmed by the appearance of Fang Zhengzhi.
After that…
They became horrified.
They wanted to remind Ping Yang.
However, in the instant that Ping Yang entered the water, she could feel that her feet stepped on something slippery. That slippery object was slithering up from her ankles at a lightning-quick speed.
"Ah!!!"
For the first time, Ping Yang understood the excruciating pain that caused people to scream for their mommy and daddy.
For the first time, she understood why all those Heavenly Reflection State officials and young men went out with tears in their eyes.
The pain penetrated all the way to her bones.
Like a knife being violently stabbed into her heart.
Spreading to the depths of her brain and the depths of her soul.
The Scarlet Thread Cyclops Viper's uniqueness was precisely this. It was a treasure that could cause human an absurd amount of pain. Previously, Ping Yang was elated to get her hands on this.
But now, all she wanted to do was cry…
She had one last thing to do which was to jump out once again from the bathtub.
This was a must.
It was also her instinct after the pair of sharp fangs sunk into her.
She leapt, similar to when she first went in, it was just as graceful. Even in the most difficult of times, she would always maintain her poised demeanour.
Fang Zhengzhi's pupils dilated.
He originally thought the young lady had some sense of shame and jumped into the tub after his warning.
Now, it looked like…
The other party did not heed the warning. Instead, she was once again advancing on him with hidden intentions.
However, this scene of a beauty emerging from a bath was quite a sight for sore eyes. Those exquisite curves, and that elegant pose, especially when she just landed. That instant when one foot just touched the ground.
Stunning.
Only…
Why did the lady had something dangling from her backside?
Fang Zhengzhi's eyes focused. He saw clearly that it was an unknown creature. Although he did not know exactly what it was, the experienced Fang Zhengzhi who hunted on the Cang Ling Mountain reacted without warning.
Within a second of Ping Yang landing, Fang Zhengzhi closed the gap to Ping Yang, with a flash of radiance, drew out the White Jade Whipping Sword.
"Kach!"
Split by the sword into two. The viper's life reached an end.
Credit had to be given to Fang Zhengzhi for that decisive action. It was swift with no trace of hesitation.
Ping Yang broke out of her stupor.
Only…
Now Fang Zhengzhi was too close to her. Close enough to see every nook and cranny of her body; close enough for her to smell the male scent emanating from Fang Zhengzhi's body.
"Wah!"
Inexplicably, Ping Yang cried. This time, she was really bawling, her clear eyes filled to the brim with tears.
Fang Zhengzhi was confused.
He clearly helped her. Why did she not cry when she was bitten and instead, crying now?
Just as he was figuring it out, Fang Zhengzhi felt something under his feet.
Looking down…
"Oh!"
Fang Zhengzhi's face flushed red. He had stepped on her leg.
"Oh my, I'm so sorry. The situation was urgent and I had a misstep!" Fang Zhengzhi immediately apologised. After that, in a blink of an eye, he turned and ran out the living quarters leaving behind a trail of smoke.
Now that he caused such a mishap, it was best he did not stay here for long.
Just an instant after Fang Zhengzhi escaped, an ear-splitting voice came out from the living quarters, rocking the whole of Ping Yang Residence.
"Fang Zhengzhi! I'm going to kill you!"
