Chapter 106 Shameless
“Brother Ni, I’m eternally grateful for the repeated help that you’ve given me,” Ou Yangming looked up and said sincerely, “but no matter what, please help me this time. If you help me this time, even if I have to face torture and execution, even if I have to go through mountains of daggers and seas of flames, I’ll do it if you ask me to.”
Ni Yinghong stomped her foot and said, “Ah, you’re so unreasonable. Let’s talk this out, get up quickly.”
Ou Yangming was secretly delighted because he could tell from Ni Yinghong’s tone that she was not as stubborn as before. Since that was the case, he must persevere because Ni Yinghong might change her mind again if he got up so soon.
Thus, he shook his head and expressed resolutely, “If you don’t promise me, I’ll continue kneeling and not get up.”
“If you don’t get up, I’m leaving.” Ni Yinghong was slightly mad. She was unwilling to talk to Ou Yangming if he continued to kneel, thus she turned around and pretended to leave.
Just as Ni Yinghong lifted one foot, she felt a heavy burden on her other leg. Feeling shocked, when she lowered her head to look, she found that Ou Yangming had pounced on her leg. Though he was still kneeling, he had reached out his hand to grab Ni Yinghong’s leg tightly.
Ni Yinghong widened her eyes. Although ever since she was a child she had been weird and could not get herself to be ladylike,which resulted in her being treated like a boy, there was still a difference between the sexes. Nobody had ever grabbed her calf, let alone her thigh!
When Ni Yinghong felt Ou Yangming’s hands and chest on her thigh, she was so abashed and angry that she subconsciously kicked.
Nonetheless, Ou Yangming was like a drowning person who was clinging onto his last chance. It was easy to take his life away, but it was extremely difficult to make him let go.
Based on Ni Yinghong’s power, she could easily kick a normal person away. However, it would be wishful thinking if she wanted to kick away a Yin Grade martial artist who swore not to give up until he achieved his goal and would rather die than submit.
Ni Yinghong was already so shy that her face looked like a ripe peach, and the back of her ears and her neck were red as well. The thing she regretted the most at this moment was not having revealed her identity to Ou Yangming, or the pervert would not have had the guts to cling onto her at all.
She lowered her voice and said, “Quickly let go…”
“Tell me, then I’ll let go.”
“You let go first.”
“No!”
“Do you want to die?”
“I won’t let go even if I die!”
Ni Yinghong stared at Ou Yangming hatefully. If another person had done this, she would have slapped the person right away to smash his brain juices out, but she could not bring herself to slap the determined Ou Yangming, who did not seem lewd at all.
“Let go of me first, don’t let someone else see us,” Ni Yinghong was somewhat begging him as she could not take it anymore.
“I’m not scared!”
‘Not scared… You *ss!’
Ni Yinghong almost fainted. ‘You’re not scared, but I am!’
“My elder brother and the elder from my family are nearby. If they see you, you’re definitely not going to end well,” she advised him earnestly, “If they see you, you’re doomed.”
Despite that, Ou Yangming still shook his head and said, “I won’t let go even if your father sees us, let alone your elder brother!”
Ni Yinghong almost choked on her own breath. ‘If someone sees the Ni family’s little princess give in because of this, will I become the greatest laughing stock in the prefecture?’
“Okay, I’ll tell you, quickly let go of me now.”
“Really?” Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up, but still looked at her dubiously.
Ni Yinghong gritted her teeth and uttered word by word, “I swear, if you don’t let go now, I won’t even tell you a single…
Before she finished her sentence, her leg was free again because Ou Yangming had scurried a couple of meters away.
Ou Yangming could tell by examining Ni Yinghong that she was truly mad. If Ni Yinghong had not agreed to tell him, he would not have let go even if he was beaten to death, but since she promised, how would he be so bold as to make his benefactor angry?
Ni Yinghong was stunned for a while. Even though she had sighed a breath of relief, she somehow felt like there was beautiful snow in her heart, as if she had been sad that it had ended so soon.
She immediately cast the thought aside as she was taken aback.
Ni Yinghong was furious when she looked at the eager Ou Yangming. She shifted her body and ran over to him to slap him hard with her slim hand.
Ou Yangming was dumbfounded. He subconsciously wanted to evade the slap, but stood still when a thought crossed his mind. He did not move an inch even when he was slapped.
“Pow!”
A loud slap was heard, and Ou Yangming’s face quickly turned red and swollen.
Ni Yinghong was struck dumb. Her fury quickly disappeared, and she felt sorry when she noticed the clear and slightly swollen palm print on Ou Yangming’s face. “Idiot, why didn’t you dodge?”
Ou Yangming chuckled. “I offended you, so I should let you vent your anger by slapping me.”
“Hmph, even if you wanted to be slapped, you can’t lean in with your face…” Ni Yinghong bit her lower lip.
‘You’re the one who slapped my face right away, I didn’t even lean in.’ Ou Yangming felt wronged, but instead of wanting to explain, he asked in a hurry, “Brother Ni, can you tell me now?”
Ni Yinghong pouted her lips and said, “Come with me.”
Ou Yangming’s eyes glowed, and he thought, ‘I stand a chance.’
Ni Yinghong led him to a huge mansion. She went over a wall instead of entering from the front, and Ou Yangming did the same after a moment of hesitation.
Since Ou Yangming decided to get information from Ni Yinghong, he could only follow her. Even if he had to climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of fire, he had to do it.
Nevertheless, his heart tensed up just as he went past the wall, and he had goosebumps. This was because he clearly sensed a powerful aura in the dark that had locked onto him.
The aura was threatening, so much so that it was more threatening than Zhang Yinli.
‘But Zhang Yinli is a Yang Grade powerhouse, does it mean that the fella who’s lying in ambush here has a more fearsome cultivation base?’
“Careful!” Ou Yangming warned softly as he shifted his body without hesitation, and pulled Ni Yinghong behind his back. He regretted not being fully equipped at this moment. If he had his armor, helmet, treasure saber, waist sash, and so on, he would not be afraid at all.
That said, if he actually walked into the military camp with a full equipment set, he would likely attract unnecessary troubles.
Soon enough, the atmosphere in the dark became tenser, and Ou Yangming could feel that the powerhouse, who was lurking in the dark, was about to make a move. Countless thoughts crossed his mind, and he suddenly stretched his body.
Ou Yangming could not hide because Ni Yinghong was behind him, so the only way was to leverage force to counter force, and to draw away his enemy’s power through the integration of Heaven and man.
He had gained 4 taels of power after advancing to Yin Grade, hence he could attempt to shift 500 kilograms of power.
However, just as both sides were going to launch the most intense attack, Ni Yinghong uttered softly as she recalled something, “Big Yellow, don’t bark!”
‘Big Yellow? Don’t bark?
‘What does that mean…’
Just as Ou Yangming had no idea what was going on, a shadow jumped out from the dark.
Ou Yangming widened his eyes when he saw the shadow.
‘Is that… A dog?’
Yes. Although the dog carried a fearsome aura, it was just a dog and not anything else.
Ou Yangming pouted his lips, and felt that his head was filled with paste. It was actually a dog-a yellow-haired dog-that had given out such a frightening pressure that he felt as if he had encountered a strong enemy.
In a flash, Ni Yinghong walked out from behind Ou Yangming. She approached the big yellow dog to hug its neck, whereas the dog kept wagging its tail to respond to her affection. Nonetheless, it stared coldly at Ou Yangming as though it was afraid he would do something inappropriate.
Ou Yangming’s mouth twitched. When he looked at Ni Yinghong being so friendly with a big yellow dog that bore a Yang Grade aura, he felt that they were out of place.
“Big Yellow, this is Ou Yangming, my friend. You mustn’t bark at him next time, understood?” Ni Yinghong said sternly as if she was talking to a person.
The big yellow dog blinked and finally became at ease. Following that, it sniffed in Ou Yangming’s direction, thus Ou Yangming no longer felt the enormous pressure.
Ou Yangming exhaled deeply. While he was confident if he had to fight, he was glad that he did not need to fight a big yellow dog in Yang Grade.
After all, dogs and humans were different; a human could not bite a dog. Without carrying any weapon, nobody would dare to provoke Big Yellow for fun.
“Brother Ni, is Big Yellow a half-spirit beast?” Ou Yangming suddenly asked as a thought crossed his mind.
Ni Yinghong giggled and replied to him, “That’s right, you really have a good eye!”
Ou Yangming gasped. ‘A half-spirit beast… Ni Yinghong actually has a half-spirit beast as a watchdog? Uhm, but the big yellow dog is indeed a guard dog.’
Nevertheless, it was quite unbelievable that the dog was actually a half-spirit beast.
Ou Yangming could not help but have a strange look on his face when he thought about half-spirit beasts.
He had once absorbed a half-spirit beast’s flesh and blood through the Devouring attribute. Not only did his essential Qi improve, but his mental power increased by a huge margin that was almost more than twice of what he originally had.
After that, the half-spirit beast was taken away by the others in the military, so Ou Yangming could not lay a finger on it anymore.
On the other hand, a living half-spirit beast was wagging its tail in front of him at the moment.
Suddenly, the big yellow dog stopped wagging, and it turned its head to glare fiercely at Ou Yangming as though it sensed the unusual ill intent.
Ni Yinghong quickly comforted it, “Big Yellow, be good, don’t be naughty.”
Ou Yangming quickly looked away and thought, ‘This watchdog is quite clever.”
