Chapter 430: Mutation in Progress
Chapter 430: Mutation in Progress
After just a few breaths of operation, it returned to its previous state.
Then a few whispers echoed in the night.
"Shen Chun, are you sure the young master is here? Why does it feel like he's not? Is our second young master such a playboy? He just started doing it in the dark room today..."
"You should know that our Second Young Master has never been interested in such matters. He even fled the mansion overnight because he didn't want to marry Miss Li. Miss Li's beauty didn't catch his eye, so how could he be like this right after arriving at Jingming Mansion? Did you get the wrong information?"
"I don't know. I followed the traces left by my brother Shen Qiu and I don't know the details..."
In the courtyard, two men dressed as guards were whispering. The former was silent for a moment and then said:
"Is it... that the young master discovered that Shen Qiu was secretly reporting the news, so he instigated or bewitched your brother to release a false signal to mislead us?"
The latter shook his head.
"My brother Shen Qiu grew up with the young master. The young master knows his character and personality very well. He must be aware of the marks left along the way."
"But this is just to reassure the master, to let him know that the young master's life is safe. If my brother doesn't send a signal, the master won't feel safe leaving the young master alone outside. They will send servants to take him back in a moment..."
"So that means the Second Young Master is in this small courtyard, doing that... thing in the house?"
"Probably……"
The two were silent, unable to see each other's facial expressions in the dark, but they could both feel a slight awkwardness between them.
The young master was doing something good, but they were so tactless that they walked right into the muzzle of a gun.
Even more silent than them were Jiang Yan and the other two.
At this moment, Zhiwei, who had already entered the state of mind, had a slightly stiff face, her lips half-open, the alluring moan still lingering, her arms still hooked around Jiang Yan...
After a long time, Jiang Yan coughed lightly.
"Miss Zhiwei, those two people from outside... must have mistaken themselves for the wrong people and aren't military guards, so... could you please let go of your hands?"
Zhiwei loosened her hands in shock and pulled them back to her chest to protect herself.
Jiang Yan stood up slowly, turned around slowly and sorted out his clothes, putting them on one by one, and paused at a certain moment and said.
"Miss Zhiwei's cooperation was very good just now, but her cry was a little deliberate, not as emotional and heartfelt as the first time. Try harder next time."
"Do you think I'm willing? I don't know how many people want to have a kiss with me, and you're still disgusted with me even though you've done that! Humph!"
Zhiwei turned her head away angrily, gnashing her teeth as if to vent her anger as she put on the clothes scattered on the bed.
Jiang Yan still looked as nonchalant as ever. After getting dressed, he prepared to go out and send away the two people who had trespassed into the courtyard.
But Zhiwei took the initiative and shouted angrily:
"Those two little thieves outside! Who gave you the guts to break into a private residence? According to Dallan law, if you break into a private residence late at night without provocation, you will be reported to the police and the resident will have full control over you!"
"The soldiers just left."
"That is to say, if I want to kill you two little bastards, it will only take a shout!"
These words were spoken with full force, carrying with them the oppressive aura of a superior that made one's heart shudder.
It also made the two people in the yard stiffen all over.
But even so, the two still did not move away, and forced a smile and bowed, saying:
"We are sorry for being rude. Someone in our family is missing and we can't find them. We were so anxious that we climbed over the wall and came in. We will leave immediately and won't disturb you two..."
"It's just... I wonder if the two of you in the room have seen this person. He's tall, has a cold expression, and is very handsome. He's accompanied by a servant... We received news a few days ago that they're here..."
Jiang Yan frowned slightly, feeling something was strange. He opened his mouth but didn't say anything in the end. He watched the situation develop silently.
Zhiwei was already dressed at this time. A dark blue skirt and coat wrapped around her curvy figure. Her black hair hung down loosely, with a few wet strands of hair accidentally sticking to her cheeks, making her look like a lotus flower emerging from water.
The pair of phoenix eyes returned to calmness, and an invisible aura surged around the body, making people dare not approach but unable to help but take a few more glances.
It is like the flowers on the high mountains and the white jade on the snow-capped mountains.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, that aura exploded.
"roll!!"
Even Jiang Yan was a little surprised by this shout, let alone the other two. Their hearts trembled and they quickly bowed their heads to apologize.
Then he climbed over the wall and left.
He was still mumbling before leaving.
"The Second Young Master would never fall for a shrew like this! So the Young Master is definitely not here!"
"Yes! This voice is even more powerful than Madam Qin's! It brings back memories of being reprimanded!"
"Let's go, let's not stay here for long. We can't find any clues about the Second Young Master, so we should go back and report to Master Qin as soon as possible so that he can make the decision!"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
.........
The two figures turned into black dots and quickly disappeared, and the courtyard returned to peace.
Jiang Yan stared at Zhiwei, whose chest was heaving violently with her hands on her hips. He opened his mouth but finally closed it and silently looked away.
Zhiwei glared at him fiercely.
"What did you say?!"
Jiang Yan: ? ?
He spread his hands with an innocent look on his face.
"Humph! You didn't say it on the surface, but you must be thinking "What a shrew" in your heart, right?"
Jiang Yan was speechless.
"You are a young lady in your twenties, in the prime of your life. Your beauty is beyond compare, and your temperament is unique and charming. How can you be called a 'violent woman'? I hope you won't belittle yourself."
After all the flattery, it was like pouring a basin of cold water on the fire. All the fire and anger disappeared, and there was even a hint of joy and embarrassment.
"Not... that good~"
"Ha ha……"
"It's getting late, and the night is already deep. Now that everything is done, please excuse me while I leave to rest. Acting with the young lady for such a long time is more tiring than practicing boxing!"
After saying that, Jiang Yan lifted the hem of his skirt with a cold expression and was about to go to the side room.
But as he walked, he stopped unconsciously and stood still.
"Hiss...why does something feel weird? Did I forget something?"
So, he went back to the main room and looked around, trying to find anything strange.
His sight moved from the scattered clothes on the ground to the half-open cabinet door and then to the bed with the curtains hanging down. Then his eyes lit up and he raised his hand and slapped his head hard.
"Right, I was wondering what I forgot. Turns out I forgot Yin Li! Look at my poor memory."
After saying that, he hurried forward and spoke to the people under the bed, signaling that they could come out.
But strangely, after he called out a few times, there was no response from below. What was going on?
Zhiwei also came forward. She was very worried about Zhenshu. What if he suffocated to death down there?
But she called out several times, and the pillow book that always responded to her call was now silent, as if it had disappeared.
"Oh no, something might have happened!"
As soon as Jiang Yan had this idea, he took a sideways step, used his internal force to lift the tripod, grabbed the wooden bed frame and lifted it up easily!
With a loud bang, the entire bed was lifted up and fell to the ground with a dull sound, revealing the scene below.
Jiang Yanzhiwei looked at them and his expression suddenly changed.
The former had a strange and puzzled look in his eyes, frowning as if he was thinking about something; while the latter had a strange look in his eyes, like the look of Jiang Yan in the later generations' fujoshi groups when they were supporting a couple.
The cold white moonlight outside the window shines through the window lattice, illuminating the scene before your eyes.
But under the bed, Zhenshu and Yin Li were both fast asleep, but Zhenshu was curled up in Yin Li's arms like a little girl, with his arms tightly wrapped around Yin Li's slender waist and his legs clamped around her hips.
Both of their faces were as red as fire, and Yin Li's was even redder.
But his arms still passed through the pillow book's armpits and hugged it tightly, as if he wanted to embed himself in his arms. His legs were crossed, his black hair was entangled, and the moonlight was dancing in the air, like a dream.
They are just like two lotus flowers blooming in a quiet spring under the moon, brewing a sweet taste for each other that is sweeter than honey.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is... Oh my~ Why didn't I realize before that Yin Li actually has the tendency to develop into a lily? She really has a hidden talent~"
The noise just now had already startled the two of them, causing them to slowly wake up.
"Hmm...what happened~Princess, it's time to get up and change..."
"Idiot! What are you talking about?!"
A startled cry suddenly woke them both up.
Zhenshu came back to his senses with his eyes wide open, and then he felt the touch on his body.
The flesh was soft and warm, like a large pillow, and I could feel the hot breath on my face, which was a bit strange and wonderful.
"This is……"
Zhenshu slowly raised his head and looked up, and then met a pair of hazy eyes...
When the other person gradually regained consciousness and noticed something strange and looked at him, time froze...
Jiang Yan was quick to grab Yin Li and cover her mouth with his hand. Zhi Wei did the same, also quickly pulling at the pillow book.
Then, screams broke out!
"Ahhhh!!!" (x2)
Fortunately, Jiang Yan and the others reacted quickly, otherwise even if they were far away, they might have disturbed the neighbors.
Yin Li and Zhen Shu looked at each other with fear in their eyes and said in unison.
"What did you do to me?!" (X2)
"I didn't do anything!" (X2)
"What just happened?!" (X2)
Seeing that Yin Li and Zhenshu were both about to collapse, Jiang Yan and Zhiwei looked at each other tacitly, exchanged glances once or twice, and then each pulled the other and quickly left the place to live separately.
No matter what happened, let's separate and calm down for now and deal with it tomorrow.
In this way, the night passed quickly.
Day two.
Early in the morning, Jiang Yan pushed the door open and walked in, carrying today's breakfast in his hand.
Because the kitchen has been reduced to ruins, our meals these days have only relied on takeout.
Well, Jiang Yan is responsible for running errands.
When he walked into the courtyard with breakfast, he keenly discovered that the atmosphere among everyone was a little strange!
Both Zhiwei Zhenshu and Yin Li were silent. The three of them sat around a table, not looking at each other, and their distance was clear. However, in this vast distance between Chu and Han, there was a faint, suppressed gaze that was uncontrollably cast towards them.
But after a moment of contact, they withdrew as if nothing had happened.
What we are mainly talking about here is Yin Li’s pillow book!
Although Zhiwei was also a little absent-minded, her mind was obviously not here, and she looked as if she was wandering in space and her soul was not in her body.
There is also a strange connection between Zhiwei Zhenshu, as if something extraordinary has awakened!
This strange atmosphere lingered around, making Jiang Yan, who had just appeared, as conspicuous as a firefly in the dark night.
Three pairs of eyes stared at him.
In response to this, Jiang Yan would look at it with a cold and indifferent look, not afraid at all.
"I am back."
He put down his breakfast, pulled out a chair, sat down, and started eating without paying attention to the increasingly subtle atmosphere around him.
Zhiwei twisted her fingers together and wanted to say something, but seemed to be worried about something, so she just opened her mouth and said nothing else, lowering her head to eat in silence.
Yin Li and Zhen Shu lowered their heads the whole time and didn't dare to look at him. For a moment, the room seemed unusually quiet even though there were four people in it.
"I'm done eating, I'm going out to do something..."
After Jiang Yan finished eating, he stood up and was about to go out. Yin Li stood up immediately after hearing that.
"I'm going with the Master too!"
"Oh, you don't even ask me what I'm going to do, so you want to go with me?"
Jiang Yan seemed to be joking with Yin Li, but the other party had a firm look in his eyes.
"Isn't it normal to follow the young master?"
Jiang Yan didn't show any abnormality at all, but nodded lightly.
"Okay, whatever you want."
So, Jiang Yan bowed to Zhiwei.
"Miss Zhiwei, I'll go buy some common items for you two. If you need anything, please let me know so you don't have to show up in public and increase your risk of exposure."
Zhenshu hesitated and only said softly, "Zhenshu will listen to you, young lady..."
"I don't have many clothes to bring with me. Since you asked me to, please help me pick some clothes for the two of us!"
Zhiwei narrowed her eyes and muttered to herself. When Jiang Yan came back, no matter how his clothes looked, she would ridicule him harshly, find fault with him, and vent her anger from yesterday.
Jiang Yan naturally didn't know, he nodded thoughtfully and then left with Yin Li.
When they went out, Jiang Yan was in front and Yin Li was on the side. The two of them were staggered half a body length apart, with Jiang Yan in the center. From a distance, it looked like the young master of the main family was going out with his personal maid.
There is no disobedience.
Arriving at the market, he could hear the bustling sounds, and the hustle and bustle was a bit noisy, but Jiang Yan was unaware of it at the moment, and walked around in a daze.
"Why do I always feel like something is strange, as if I've overlooked something? But everything seems normal..."
Jiang Yan knew that they were trapped in the realm of seven emotions at the moment, and also knew that the surroundings were dangerous, so they should find a way to escape as soon as possible.
And he has been doing these things.
But he did everything right, so why did he always feel a weird feeling?
This feeling had arisen since yesterday. At that time, I thought that this strange feeling was caused by accidentally ignoring Yin Li, so I didn't take it to heart.
But now this feeling still lingers in him, which is a little abnormal.
"Could it be that I've been in contact with Zhiwei too much, or that I've been inevitably affected? But I haven't noticed anything different about myself, and my behavior is still the same as usual."
"As for Yin Li... she hasn't had much contact with Zhiwei since I woke her up. She obviously took my advice to heart. She behaves normally outside, so there's nothing wrong with her either..."
Jiang Yan frowned and thought, and unknowingly came to a clothing store.
Then, under the proprietress's suspicious expression, he said a series of sizes and quickly picked out four sets of elegant women's clothing.
"Well, the style is nice and the fabric is good."
Head tilted.
"Yin Li, pay."
Yin Li followed behind him as neatly as a servant.
"It's the young master."
After everything was done, Jiang Yan walked out of the clothing store with his hands behind his back, and Yin Li followed behind him with four sets of clothes.
At this point, Jiang Yan was still whispering.
"Strange, what exactly is the problem~"
