Cutting Off the Bite Scar, Chopped Up and Fed to the Dogs (2)

Towards Jing Wan’s words, Li Hong Yuan was actually very calm. Since it’s of his own design, then there wasn’t anything he won’t take responsibility for. He would rather have Jing Wan come find him to settle the score. The more she cared about this matter, meant the more she cared about him. He was only upset that Jing Wan wanted to erase the mark he left behind. Although at the time he wasn’t clear-headed, and wasn’t able to properly taste what flavor Wan Wan’s blood was. When awake, he wasn’t willing to harm her. However, right now, he didn’t regret it either. Compared to her, for a long period of time, needing to cover it up, and possibly even getting discovered by someone, directly cutting it off was certainly the simplest.

Even without experiencing the storms, deep down, Wan Wan was still very firm and decisive. This kind of thing that won’t bring about harm to others, and she herself only needed to leave behind a scar as the price, and will be able to put an end to a lot of troubles, how she will decide, all didn’t need to be thought about.

As for this bunch of unperceptive things, even daring to carelessly look at their future mistress’s neck, when he gets back, need to properly wash their eyes out for them.

Cutting off the bite mark already became an inevitability. Li Hong Yuan naturally can’t let her do it herself, so he secretly touched An Jiu.

An Jiu wasn’t surprised to have received the indication. This kind of thing was most suitable for him to do. Just, in the future, every time master thinks of this, afraid he will always hold a grudge against him. He(LHY) won’t remember that in this moment, it was him that issued the order. An Jiu accepted it very calmly. “How about this one do it. This one believes oneself to be rather knowledgable towards external injuries, don’t know what Miss Luo thinks?”

Jing Wan nodded. Whoever did it was all the same, certainly would be better than herself.

An Jiu broke off a branch and approached Jing Wan. The her right now strangely felt a lot more dazzling than before when she was asleep. She doesn’t shrink back when she encounters trouble, advancing in the face of difficulty; her actions and words decisive and sharp, not dragging through the mud at all. She isn’t at all arrogant, yet one was able to sense her unyielding pride. Everything she showed on the outside, all far surpassed the steadiness and wisdom of her age. She was very much resembled master, who’d matured at an young age many years ago. In that moment, An Jiu seemingly understood suddenly a little bit why master was that strongly attached to her. Indeed, only this kind of woman was the most suitable for master, because when encountering trouble, she not only wouldn’t become a burden, but would even be able to take control of the situation when master isn’t present.

“To make it look real, the cut will be a bit long. However, we only need to have the surface covered up, and it’ll be fine. After all, even a highly skilled physician of external wounds wouldn’t look too closely at a wound on a lady’s neck.”

Jing Wan’s brows lightly creased, “Make it deeper. I’m not concealing for a moment, but for an eternity. If the fake external wound is too shallow, after it heals, the markings inside will still be clearly seen. Then everything right now would just be suffering in vain.”

An Jiu was unable to respond. Looking at it carefully, he finally noticed, master had bitten quite fiercely. Even the best scar erasing medicine wouldn’t be able to remove it either. It’ll probably have to accompany her for her whole life. To want to thoroughly cover it up, the possibility of leaving behind a scar was relatively high. Is master regretting now? “It’ll be very painful, if Miss Luo is unable to endure…..”

“If I were you, it would’ve already ended. Don’t you know, the more one hesitates, the greater the pressure it’ll cause the other person?” Jing Wan said as she tilted her neck, silently urging.

An Jiu found his hands slightly trembling for some reason. He didn’t even have this reaction when he was treating his master’s wounds.

Jing Wan consolingly smiled at him, even joking, “Hold steady, else, this life of mine will really forfeit in your hands.”

As expected, the more said, the greater the pressure, he really experienced it deeply firsthand. Also that feeling like a tip of a blade against his back, he was certain, master was staring at him. Great aunt, please stop smiling, master’s vinegar jar is about to overturn. ‘Touching’ you has already made him harbor hard feelings. After this matter is over, better voluntarily return to training for a period of time.

“With you like this, perhaps it’s better I do it myself?” Jing Wan still smiled.

Two strokes down, and Jing Wan felt the distinct pain. Yet inside, she felt quite relieve. In this place that’s extremely harsh to women, such a bite mark, never mind an unmarried young lady, even married women would draw in slanderous rumors. Those self-proclaimed noble and extremely sophisticated people, once they see this kind of thing, will just spit out the most malicious, cruelest, and harshest words. Because they themselves were deeply restricted, they were unable to tolerate anyone being different than them.

(T/N: I like Jing Wan’s commentary towards life in ancient times a lot; not a lot of novels make these kinds of observations.)

TN: All

In others’ eyes, Jing Wan’s brows didn’t even crease once, only using a handkerchief to cover it. However, as if she’d thought of something again, she let go some, allowing the fresh blood to dye her collar red.

Never mind that when Li Hong Yuan saw the blood on Jing Wan’s neck, his gaze became increasingly dark and dangerous, even An Jiu frowned disapprovingly, “Miss Luo…..”

Jing Wan unconcernedly waved her hand, “I fainted right after I fell down. If there isn’t any blood on my clothes, how will I be able to explain it. I can just take care of it later.”

Master refused for him to treat his wound, and right now she refused his advice, all for the purpose of successfully pulling of their ruse. On this bit, the two of them seemed to be connected inside, but what was different was that Miss Luo did it for the sake of others, while master did it for himself. Comparing the two, Miss Luo seems to appear all the more magnanimous and selfless, and master selfish and petty?

An Jiu handed her a bottle of medicine, “This can let wounds quickly stop bleeding, and furthermore, won’t leave behind traces of medicine powder.”

Jing Wan unhesitantly accepted it. After all, it’s been this long, the wound will definitely have differences. “Many thanks.”

“Let’s go, the people searching for Miss Luo should be arriving soon.” An Yi reminded them.

Jing Wan also nodded her head. Although there was quite a bit of difference between people who practice martial arts and people who didn’t, but in Jing Wan’s eyes, people who practice martial arts still wouldn’t be able to reach the same level of miraculousness as those in the martial arts (wuxia) novels of her past life. To be able to travel a thousand miles in a day and whatnot with just a pair of legs was definitely a fantasy story. If the time of their accident and the time of Jin Qinwang’s assassination attempt aren’t too long apart from beginning to end, then the people looking for her should also be close by.

Just when they were preparing to leave, An Jiu suddenly asked, “Miss has never seen us before, yet you are this reassured to hand Wangye over to us? After all, according to reason, it wouldn’t just be one group of people looking for Wangye. It might also be those assassins, no?”

Jing Wan glanced to him, rather dumbfounded, “Forgive me for saying something impolite, but are those words saying I’m dumb, or saying that you’re dumb? If it was assassin that had bursted in, seeing an unconscious Jin Qinwang, in addition to a defenseless feeble woman, their first reaction would only be to charge up and kill everyone. Would they still have the leisure mood to say this much to me? Furthermore, I don’t know, but what assassins would be that brazen to still relentlessly pursue a qinwang after possibly succeeding already, insisting on ensuring his life or death? For you all to have taken this long to come, it can be assumed that Jin Qinwang also fell from the cliff into the river. Those assassins either already got executed, or already fled. If there’s really still this many assassins after him, then how useless would the people by Jin Qinwang’s side be?”

T/N: I should make a counter for every time Jing Wan roast someone in this novel.
