After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master - Chapter 234

Chapter 234: Revenge

“You, you, you, you!” Jiang Huai almost couldn’t catch his breath.

How could there be such a despicable and sneaky move? Wait, that’s not right.

“What did you take it off for?” Jiang Huai’s eyes widened as he looked at her.

“The spirit boat won’t arrive until tomorrow morning, and it’s just the two of us on the boat today. Just thinking about it… it’s quite thrilling, isn’t it?”

Luo Yueguan’s fingertips touched her lips, her mouth slightly open, and her pearly white teeth gently bit her slender, green onion-like fingers.

“I don’t believe it! You’re just teasing me.”

“Come here.”

Luo Yueguan beckoned him with her slightly glistening fingers. Jiang Huai hesitated for a moment, then came to her side, and Luo Yueguan reached out her hand, grabbed his wrist, and gently pressed it against the long skirt around her waist.

“Feel it.”

Jiang Huai tried to sense with his fingertips, but it seemed that apart from the maid’s dress, there was no other fabric under the material except for the pantyhose that wrapped around her slender waist. Jiang Huai, still disbelieving, felt around her waist for a while, but the touch was all so silky smooth.

“Do you like it?” Luo Yueguan looked up at him.

Jiang Huai stepped back, falling into his chair, and covered his face with his hands, “Go put it on, go put it on, go put it on.”

“I won’t.” Luo Yueguan crossed her legs beneath the hem of her skirt.

“I didn’t plan to tell you, it was supposed to be a quiet thrill… but this time you started it by teasing me.”

Her lips curled into a smile, her eyes bright.

…

Jiang Huai could no longer look directly at Luo Yueguan in front of him.

Thinking about the fact that there was nothing under her skirt at this moment, and her fair legs were only tightly wrapped in white silk, Jiang Huai couldn’t help but let his thoughts wander to strange places. He couldn’t stop looking away, but every time his gaze returned, he couldn’t help but stare at Luo Yueguan’s chest. The fabric of her dress was silky and thick, obviously there must be a chest wrap underneath her dress, otherwise the outline would be too obvious.

But the more it was like this, the more awkward it felt. Her dress was long, with no risk of exposure at all. She just wanted to tease Jiang Huai, but he was helpless against her. He drank several cups of tea in succession, but the flame in his heart still hadn’t subsided. Suddenly, he thought of the day Luo Yueguan was by the bath, holding her chest.

He suddenly realized that his desire for Luo Yueguan was completely different from that for Chu Xianning. When he was with Chu Xianning in the courtyard, all he wanted to see was her cold eyes ripple because of him. But when he was with Luo Yueguan, all he could think about was how to ravage Luo Yueguan’s ripe body, wanting to leave red marks on her tender skin.

No, you shouldn’t think like this.

Jiang Huai slapped his face with his hand, and Luo Yueguan toyed with the Go pieces on the board, looking at Jiang Huai, “Shall we play a couple of games?”

“If you put your clothes on properly, I’ll play with you.”

“Beat me first,” Luo Yueguan said, but then she suddenly realized that if Jiang Huai really wanted to win, she had no chance of winning.

With that thought, she grabbed a Go piece from the board and held it in her palm, “Let’s play a different game. You guess the color of the piece. If you guess right, I’ll agree to one of your conditions. If you guess wrong, you’ll agree to one of mine.”

Jiang Huai hesitated for a moment and muttered softly.

“Don’t go too far.”

“You say don’t go too far, but your heart is already itching, isn’t it?”

Luo Yueguan’s eyes twinkled with a teasing smile. Jiang Huai didn’t bother to argue anymore and pointed to her palm, “I guess black.”

Luo Yueguan opened her hand, revealing a white piece.

Jiang Huai was somewhat frantic, looking at Luo Yueguan in front of him with a resigned attitude.

“Go ahead, what do you want?”

“I want to ask a question.”

“Go ahead.”

“If your liking for Chu Xianning is ten, how much do you like me?”

Luo Yueguan’s eyes still held a playful look, but for some reason, Jiang Huai suddenly felt a pang in his heart.

So he really started to think seriously about this question, and after about five or six breaths, he tentatively answered, “Three or four tenths?”

“Very good, Jiang Huai, very good.”

Luo Yueguan’s smile disappeared in an instant, her voice growing colder.

She grabbed another Go piece from the board and looked at Jiang Huai, who again chose black, but when Luo Yueguan opened her hand, it was still white.

“What do you want to do?”

Jiang Huai’s body shrank back a bit, suddenly regretting playing this game with Luo Yueguan. Her eyes had become extremely cold. Jiang Huai couldn’t say for sure whether his answer was the truth; he could only respond based on a vague feeling, but it seemed the more truthful it was, the more cruel and hurtful it became.

“Let me ride you around the spirit boat.” Luo Yueguan spoke coldly.

Jiang Huai sighed deeply, “Can I carry you on my neck instead?”

“No.”

“What about not going too far?”

Jiang Huai stared at Luo Yueguan, who had already stood up, muttering, “If I ride on your neck, I’ll have to go around twice.”

Jiang Huai bent down, and Luo Yueguan easily jumped up, riding on his shoulders, her fair legs tightly clamping his neck. Jiang Huai felt weird.

Luo Yueguan’s hands resting on his head, as he carried her around. The warmth of Luo Yueguan’s fair thighs and the delicate touch of the white silk were transmitted to his neck.

He suddenly wanted to turn his head and gently bite Luo Yueguan’s white silk-covered leg, but thankfully, he restrained the urge.

Fortunately, after only one round, Luo Yueguan finally got down obediently. Now it was Jiang Huai’s turn to pick up a Go piece for Luo Yueguan to guess. Luo Yueguan guessed white, but when Jiang Huai opened his hand, it was a black piece.

Luo Yueguan crossed her arms, “Go ahead, what do you want to do?”

“Go back to your room and put your dress on properly.”

“Why are you so insistent on this?” Luo Yueguan didn’t understand.

“I don’t know, maybe because your body is too tempting or maybe because I lack self-control. I don’t want this.”

Jiang Huai sighed helplessly, watching Luo Yueguan stand up, and after a while, she came out of the room.

Although in reality her legs were still covered by the long dress, with no change visible, Jiang Huai quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Jiang Huai had just picked up a Go piece and was about to put it in his palm when he suddenly noticed Luo Yueguan trembling slightly, and her cheeks seemed to flush. Jiang Huai was initially stunned, then frantically looked at her.

“Don’t tell me you’ve come up with some new trick!”

“Did you guess?” Luo Yueguan asked.

“Can’t you be serious for once? Can you?!”

“Beat me first,” Luo Yueguan hummed, then her eyes narrowed slightly, her fair legs tightly together.

Jiang Huai extended his hand to her, and this time Luo Yueguan guessed black. When Jiang Huai opened his hand, it was indeed a black piece.

Jiang Huai looked a bit disappointed, staring into Luo Yueguan’s eyes, “What do you want to do now?”

Luo Yueguan looked at him innocently for several seconds, then suddenly thought of something, lifted her leg, and walked back into the room. When she came out again, her walking posture was no longer as shy as before, but now she was holding a small, oval jade stone in her hand, which Jiang Huai had seen on the bed in Luo Yueguan’s room, particularly familiar.

“Carve two small characters on it for me.”

“Carve what?”

“Jiang Huai.” (姜槐)

Luo Yueguan looked at him innocently.

Jiang Huai almost couldn’t catch his breath, but he read full of expectation in Luo Yueguan’s eyes. He took the jade stone from her hand, but soon after, he put it away in his system space, “Confiscated.”

“Give it back! It’s mine!”

Luo Yueguan pounced on him, snatching the storage ring he was pretending to hold, but she found nothing in his ring. Her eyes were fixed on Jiang Huai.

“Where did you hide my treasure?”

“Confiscated.”

“Give it back, give it back, give it back! It’s mine!”

“A cultivator should be pure and free of desire,” Jiang Huai replied guiltily.

“Give it back, I made it myself!”

Luo Yueguan’s cheeks puffed up as she reached out to Jiang Huai, “If you don’t give it back, I’ll tell your master that you stole my precious jade stone.”

Jiang Huai had no answer to her move, and Luo Yueguan already hugged his arm, “Hurry up… You’re not jealous of this jade stone, are you? Hmm?”

Luo Yueguan leaned into his ear, changing her tone, “Give it back to me.”

Unable to resist her, Jiang Huai eventually took out the jade stone, which was immediately snatched away by Luo Yueguan and hidden securely.

She sat back down across from Jiang Huai and hummed, “Next time, I’ll secretly carve ‘Jiang Huai’ on it when you’re not around, and I’ll call your name when I use it, humph.”

“You’re crazy!” Jiang Huai looked at her mischievously charming smile, feeling powerless.

Perhaps Luo Yueguan couldn’t be blamed. If he could resist the temptation when Luo Yueguan teased him, could he see her true self through her facade?

But he always failed to suppress his desires.

Was Luo Yueguan happy now? Jiang Huai suddenly began to wonder… If she was happy, then perhaps it didn’t matter?

Was he happy now?

It seemed that although he was frustrated, he wasn’t really angry. It seemed he had gradually become accustomed to it… Habit is a terrifying thing.

“Even if you carve it, I won’t know,” Jiang Huai said with a curl of his lip.

“I’m just saying. I wouldn’t really do that. My precious jade is much more important to me than you are. I wouldn’t carve your name on it. At most, you only weigh three or four tenths as much to me in my heart.”

It turned out that the quarrel was over that “three or four tenths” comment.

“You used to ask me knowingly who was more important to me, you or Chu Xianning, and when I answered Chu Xianning, you never really got angry because you knew the answer the moment you asked the question. But this time you’re upset?”

“I’m not upset,” Luo Yueguan said, turning her face slightly away, her voice betraying a hint of insecurity.

“Hug me,” Jiang Huai said, stretching out his arms toward her.

“No hugs,” Luo Yueguan shook her head.

But when Jiang Huai walked up to her and bent down slightly, Luo Yueguan still jumped up in an instant, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck and bit his lips as if in retaliation.

He was gradually running out of breath, as if he could feel himself being sucked into a vortex.

A long time ago, he was just a bystander watching the fire from the other side of the river. When exactly had he fallen into this whirlpool?

In the midst of his confused emotions, Jiang Huai couldn’t help but think back, and the only answer he could come up with was… it was clearly he himself who had stepped into it.
