Chapter 867 Being Cheated
Lin Ping had to admit that Zhang Yuelu was also a woman, and a very beautiful one at that.
He did not refute the issue, but was worried about Meng Qingge's situation.
"I actually got tricked by her!" Lin Ping gritted his teeth in anger and felt deep regret.
If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have brought Zhang Yuelu back, or been misled by her serious injuries.
Injuries to the internal organs are clearly different from injuries to the blood vessels; the former can still gather a certain amount of energy, just like Zhang Yuelu is doing now.
Aside from the mistakes of the past few days, I was also clearly deceived by my opponent in the previous exchange.
To prevent Lin Ping from discovering any clues, Zhang Yuelu chose to strike ahead of time. Her strength had not even recovered to 30%, so she was no match for Lin Ping at all.
Her goal was clear: to capture Meng Qingge alive and use her to blackmail Lin Ping.
Lin Ping considered using cold words to deliberately distance himself from Meng Qingge, but Zhang Yuelu was intelligent and perceptive, so how could she not notice the intimate glances between the two?
"Let's talk this out. If you release Qingge, I can let you go," Lin Ping said anxiously.
"Lin Wuqing, do you still have the right to negotiate with me?" Zhang Yuelu sneered contemptuously, certain that Lin Ping would meet all her demands.
"Then what do you want? Don't forget, this is Shuntian Prefecture, and you can't be presumptuous here." Lin Ping raised his voice slightly, trying to be more forceful.
Under the emperor's nose, the law is strictly enforced. The only consequence of killing someone in the street is being caught by soldiers and beheaded.
Zhang Yuelu hadn't yet gone so far as to directly confront the laws of the empire, and besides, killing Meng Qingge would have been pointless for her.
“Come with me!” Zhang Yuelu removed her eagle-claw-like fingers from Meng Qingge’s throat and pointed at Lin Ping.
Meng Qingge was unaware of Zhang Yuelu's identity, let alone how ruthless she was. Once she felt the danger in her throat had subsided, she immediately thought of a way to escape.
A woman's most powerful weapon is her mouth, and Meng Qingge used this only weapon as well, biting Zhang Yuelu's snow-white arm with her pearly teeth.
She didn't think Zhang Yuelu was a match for Lin Ping; as long as she escaped from her clutches, everything would be fine.
It has to be said that Meng Qingge's mouth was quite strong; a row of bloody teeth marks immediately appeared on Zhang Yuelu's fair skin, making her wince in pain.
"You bitch, you're asking for death!" Zhang Yuelu was furious, her brows furrowing with intense killing intent.
A woman's greatest enemy is another woman, especially one who is just as beautiful as herself.
Zhang Yuelu already disliked Meng Qingge, and the attack from behind only fueled her anger.
"Stop! I'll go with you!" Lin Ping shouted in a panic, already standing in front of Zhang Yuelu.
Lin Ping knew quite a bit about this stunningly beautiful woman; she was a demoness from the Nightmare Palace, a ruthless killer.
Seeing Lin Ping offer to be her hostage, Zhang Yuelu regained her senses.
Once he kills Meng Qingge, he will inevitably face a double pursuit from Lin Ping and the government. Even if he manages to escape, he will face numerous difficulties.
She pushed Meng Qingge away, and Lin Ping took the opportunity to pull her into his arms.
"If I had insisted on killing her just now, what would you have done to me?" Zhang Yuelu whispered in Lin Ping's ear, not even knowing why she said such a thing.
"I'll cut you into a thousand pieces!" Lin Ping said mercilessly, which was indeed his truest thought.
"What a fine idea of being torn to pieces! It's just a pity you'll never have that chance," Zhang Yuelu replied coldly.
She knew how strong Lin Ping's hostility was towards her, and she guessed that Lin Ping would say something similar. Even so, she still felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart.
"Is that so? I'm afraid you've forgotten my abilities." Lin Ping revealed a strange smile.
He tried to grab Zhang Yuelu's hand, because as long as the two had any skin contact, Lin Ping's energy would be continuously absorbed by her, causing considerable damage.
Unfortunately, he was far slower than Zhang Yuelu and could not succeed at all.
"Since I can't catch you, I'll let you catch me!" Lin Ping forcefully tore his clothes in half, revealing a pair of strong shoulders.
Although Lin Ping has fair skin and the potential to be a pretty boy, he has been exercising for many years and has a lot of muscle, which is very impressive to girls.
This was certainly not a sedition of her beauty; it was a gift Lin Ping had prepared specifically for Zhang Yuelu.
Since Zhang Yuelu is going to take Lin Ping away, she will definitely grab onto Lin Ping's clothes. But now that his clothes are completely torn, she will have to touch his skin.
"Little brother, are you trying to tempt me?" Zhang Yuelu laughed instead of getting angry, making a series of "giggle" sounds.
The laughter seemed out of place with Zhang Yuelu's sweet image, and Lin Ping finally realized: "You're not a loli at all, but a mature woman pretending to be a loli!"
This is similar to how Lin Ping used his identity as a captain to deceive Bai Tiantian. The image of the little girl had already taken root in Lin Ping's mind, and he mistakenly thought that Zhang Yuelu was pure and cute and a child who would not lie.
Even after learning the other party's identity, Lin Ping still didn't think Zhang Yuelu was very scheming, which was why she was deceived one after another.
"Little brother, don't think you can make your older sister's heart flutter just by taking off your clothes." Zhang Yuelu exhaled a fragrant breath, her slender fingers supporting Lin Ping's chin, her extremely seductive voice making Lin Ping's heart flutter.
The alluring eyes that had captivated Lin Ping suddenly turned icy cold, and a short sword flew from her hand, grazing Li Mingxuan's throat.
"If you don't want to die, go find a sturdy sack!" A chilling voice burst from Zhang Yuelu's cherry lips, making Li Mingxuan shiver.
He wanted to ask Lin Ping for his opinion, but his legs still betrayed him and he went to find the burlap sack.
A moment later, Li Mingxuan returned, carrying a large pile of things, and stammered, "What...what type of burlap sack do you want..."
As he spoke, Li Mingxuan laid out all the different kinds of burlap sacks he was carrying on the ground.
Upon seeing this, Lin Ping even considered killing someone.
"Little Li, you just wait. If I come back alive, I'll skin you alive!" Lin Ping said viciously. He had already guessed why Zhang Yuelu was looking for the sack.
"Let's go with the biggest one," Zhang Yuelu said, pointing to the largest burlap sack on the ground.
Clearly, this sack is for carrying people.
This is also a powerful way for Zhang Yuelu to avoid skin contact with Lin Ping.
"Could you let me put my clothes on? The burlap sack isn't very warm," Lin Ping said with a grin, already regretting taking off his warm cotton-padded coat.
"Isn't it exactly what I wanted to see you with your hands and feet numb from the cold?" Zhang Yuelu continued with her mature laughter, which sent a chill down Lin Ping's spine.
This is definitely revenge. Previously, Lin Ping fed Zhang Yuelu with energy, leaving her without the strength to get out of bed. Now she wants to make Lin Ping's hands and feet numb from the cold, so that he also can't get out of bed.
In short, whenever the two of them are together, one of them will be unable to get out of bed.
