Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 232 Sleepless Night
A bright moon rose above the river, and the night sky was blue. On that sleepless night, Wuzhai sat cross-legged in the room with his eyes closed. There was not a trace of fluctuation of true energy, nor a trace of overflow of soul power. It was as if he was meditating. This was his way of practicing, practicing with his heart only.

A fragrant breeze blew in through the window. The aroma was tiring, and Wuzhe's body soon fell down, as if he was fast asleep.

A beautiful figure floated in from the window, and a pair of bare feet as white as jade landed silently on the ground.

The woman had tall, thin eyebrows, bright eyes, and a beautiful face. She wore a green gauze that looked like the soft moonlight outside the window. Her slender waist and thin, elastic legs showed off her graceful figure.

The woman in green gauze walked confidently to Wuzhan's side, looked down at the unconscious Wuzhan, curled her lips and chuckled softly, "Mr. Li, nothing special." She pulled out a foot-long dagger from her sleeve and slowly squatted down. In the moonlight outside the window, the dagger glowed green, and was obviously poisoned.

The dagger was pointed at Wuzhan's throat, but stopped because she became curious about the face under the mask. She stretched out her slender hand and wanted to take off the mask.

Before her fingers touched the mask, her fair wrist was grabbed by a hand. "Curiosity is not a good habit." The person who spoke was Wuzhan who was lying on the ground.

The woman in green gauze was startled and cried out, "You were not hit by 'Chen Mengxiang'!" At the same time, she stabbed the dagger at Wuzhan's throat.

"Tap!" His other wrist was grabbed again. Wuzhan said, "I would like to have a good sleep, but I'm afraid someone will come and kill me."

The woman in green gauze couldn't break free, and in desperation, she wanted to kick Wuzhan in the ribs, but before she could kick, she was pinned down by someone and couldn't move.

No one had ever dared to get so close to her, and it was a man. The veil was very thin, and she could clearly feel the other person's body temperature.

The woman in green gauze said in panic: "You..., what do you want to do?"

Wuzhan said: "What do you think?"

The woman in green gauze said angrily, "How dare you!"

"What do you dare to do?"

The woman in green gauze had flushed cheeks and shouted angrily: "You... are so outrageous, get... out of here now!" Her breathing was disordered.

"This is my boat. It's as if I didn't ask you to come visit me late at night."

"Okay, it's up to you to do whatever you want." The voice was soft and full of temptation, but under this temptation, countless small insects of various colors flew out of the sachet and bit Wuzhai's skin.

The woman in green gauze smiled proudly and said, "You have been poisoned by forty-nine kinds of poisons. Your life is in my hands. If you don't let go, kneel down and beg me." She tried to pull her wrist free, because Wuzhan should be paralyzed at this moment, waiting to die.

But her wrist was still firmly grasped, and the poisonous insects were falling off Wuzhan's body, landing on the floor and her green gauze, motionless.

"It seems I don't need to beg you." Wuzhan not only had strength, but also spoke calmly.

The woman in green gauze was horrified and said, "How is it possible!" No one can be poisoned by so much poison and still be able to speak.

The crescent-shaped earring made a "pop" sound, and a small green insect flew out from it. It was too close and he was caught off guard, and it instantly bit the blood vessel on Wuzhan's neck.

The woman in green gauze laughed sweetly and said, "You were bitten by my spirit. Without my antidote, you would not survive..." As soon as she stopped talking, her pretty face changed color, because she saw the poisonous insect sliding down from Wuzhe's neck and falling between her proud peaks.

A bite from this poisonous insect is enough to instantly stiffen an elephant, but now it is dead again, poisoned to death. I didn’t believe it before, but now I have to believe it, “You…, you actually poisoned my green elf to death.”

"It seems like you let them harm me."

The woman in green gauze stared at the mask and said, "You...are you a human?"

Affirmative answer: "I am a human being."

"You are not a human, you are a monster, you are a devil." As he said this, he hit his forehead against Wuzhe's mask.

"Bang!" The woman in green gauze felt dizzy, as if she had hit a wall. She saw a pair of eyes. Those eyes were clear and calm, and even had an indescribable weirdness. No one would look at her with such eyes when seeing her.

"Are all women in Yuechang Country as vicious as you?"

The woman in green gauze asked, "How do you know I'm from Yuechang?"

"They eat flowers and fruits, walk barefoot, wear gauze as clothes, and live in nests."

"Since you know I'm from Yuechang, why don't you let me go!"

Wuzhan said: "I am just confused. Qin and Yuechang have no hatred. Why would the girl want to harm me?"

"You Qin State wants to invade our Baiyue land. This is hatred."

"Yuechang State is located in the southernmost part of the country, and the terrain is strategic. Qin State will not invade your Yuechang State."

"Ying Zheng is ambitious. After annexing the six kingdoms, he invaded Southern Xinjiang. If Southern Xinjiang doesn't exist, how can small Yuechang survive?"

Wuzhan said: "Although Yuechang is small, everyone in the southern border is afraid of it. As long as Yuechang does not get involved, Qin will not ask for trouble."

The woman in green gauze smiled and said, "Sir, you are just a hound of Ying Zheng. How can you decide his thoughts?"

Wuzhan curled his lips and said, "Sometimes a hound can choose not to bring its prey to its owner."

"Are you the hound?" The woman in green gauze began to breathe evenly, as if she had gotten used to this way of speaking.

"That depends on the girl's performance."

Upon hearing this, the woman in green gauze blushed immediately and her breathing became disordered again. "How..., how do you behave?"

"Give me the antidote first, then we can talk?"

The woman in green gauze asked in surprise, "Aren't you not poisoned?"

"I didn't, but my three disciples seem to be still asleep."

The woman in green gauze then remembered that she had used the 'Chen Meng Xiang' to make everyone on the boat fall asleep. Without the antidote, those people would have no choice but to sleep until they died. She was so confused that she forgot about it. She turned her beautiful eyes and smiled sweetly, "How can I give you the antidote if you're holding me down like this?"

"If I don't control the girl, will she give me the antidote?"

"Well, the antidote is in my sachet, take it yourself!"

Wuzhan did not directly take the sachet from her waist, but said calmly: "There is no antidote in the sachet!"

The woman in green gauze said angrily, "How do you know the antidote is not in the sachet?"

"The sachet is empty!" The sachet was indeed empty, and it was right between the two of them.

The woman in green gauze said, "You are really difficult to deal with. I really didn't bring the antidote with me. If you want the antidote, come back to Yuechang with me to get it."

Wuzhan said: "You don't need to go to Yuechang Country. The antidote is in your arms."

The woman in green gauze said angrily: "How dare you flirt with me!"

"If you don't want to be flirted with, take it out yourself!"

"How can you take it if you don't let go of my hand?" "In order to prevent you from playing tricks again, I naturally can't let go. I will make you take it with your own hand." As he said that, he grabbed the woman's wrist and sent her to the corresponding position.

The woman in green gauze did not take out the antidote immediately, but stared into Wuzhe's eyes and said, "Close your dog eyes."

Wuzhan really closed his eyes and turned his head. Soon the woman's wrist began to move, as if she was taking something out of her arms. Suddenly, she let out a sweet giggle, and Wuzhan felt his fingers touch somewhere. He was startled. At this moment, the wrist slipped and broke free. A strong wind blew through his chest. In a hurry, Wuzhan dodged sideways. The woman in green gauze changed her hands with the short sword and hit Wuzhan's throat back.

At this time Wuzhan had opened his eyes. Seeing the dagger coming, he released the woman's other wrist and flew up to avoid the dagger. At the same time, the woman in green gauze also floated up with graceful posture and landed steadily a few feet away.

The woman in green gauze did not rush to escape, but looked at Wuzhan leisurely, "If you want the antidote, come with me!"

Wuzhan asked, "Where are we going?"

"You'll know when you go there."

Wuzhan thought for a moment and said, "Save my people first, and I will go with you."

The green-veiled woman said with moving eyes, "I can save you, but only you can go with me."

"Okay, I promise you."

The woman in green gauze smiled sweetly, which was indescribably moving. She took out the sachet in her arms in front of Wuzhan and said, "Give this to them. If they smell it, they will wake up."

After rescuing the three disciples and sailors, Wuzhan explained some things and then went up to the south bank of the Pearl River with the woman in green gauze. The two soon disappeared into the night.

The forest was cool and the branches and leaves were dense. The figure of the woman in green gauze was light and her bare feet landed on the ground without making any sound, just like a fairy in the forest. Seeing that Wuzhan was following behind her and moving slowly, she shook her head and smiled, "You are quite skilled, but I didn't expect your Qinggong to be so inferior."

Wuzhan said: "I seldom walk, and this isn't really a road."

The green-veiled woman Yingying smiled and said, "That's true. People like you who practice Taoism are used to riding in cars and boats. How can you compare to us Yueshang people who travel through mountains and rivers every day." As she spoke, she blew with her slender fingers to her lips. Not long after, a hissing sound was heard, and from far away, a green python suddenly appeared. Its scales were shining, and it was as thick as a person and more than ten feet long.

The green python came to the side of the woman in green gauze and rubbed her palms with its head and neck, showing great intimacy. It was obviously the woman's pet.

The woman in green sat sideways on the green python's back and said to the surprised Wuzhan, "Why don't you get up?"

Wuzhan sat on it. The woman in green gauze moved her thin lips, but no one knew what she said. The green python carried the two of them and traveled through the mountains and forests.

The trees were blown down, and the cool breeze blew on my face. The beautiful hair of the woman in green gauze floated onto the mask from time to time, with a pleasant fragrance. Her folded legs swayed with the body of the python, which was even more touching.

The woman in green gauze turned around and asked, "Are you ashamed to show your face? Why are you wearing a mask?"

"It's really shameful."

"It's just a face. What's so shameful about it?"

Wuzhan remained silent, and the woman in green gauze asked again: "Why don't you ask my name?"

"If the girl doesn't want to tell me her name, it's useless for me to ask her."

The woman in green gauze turned around and said, "My name is Mengya."

"Meet Princess Mengya."

"How do you know I'm a princess?"

"Who else but a princess and a queen can have a pet like this?"

"You know quite a lot."

"I also know that without the Queen's order, no one is allowed to enter or leave Yuechang at will. Princess came to arrest me. Was it the Queen's order?"

Meng Ya was startled, turned around and looked at Wuzhe, and asked: "Do you think I got the order from the Queen Mother?"

Wuzhan answered affirmatively: "No."

"How would you know?"

"She won't send you to get me."

"Why not?"

"She will never pay attention to the fighting between foreign races, and the foreign armies will not dare to set foot in Yuechang."

Meng Ya said: "No wonder you were able to wipe out the Ghost Shadow Sect, subdue the Poyang Gang, and annihilate the enemies who attacked you. You really have a brain that is not simple."

"Princess, you know a lot about my deeds."

Meng Ya said, "It is said that you are a sinister and cunning devil. I think..." Suddenly he chuckled, looked closer at the mask and said, "I think you are a bastard."

Seeing Wuzhan was silent, Mengya said softly, "Can you take off the mask and let me see your true face?"

"No."

Meng Ya asked angrily, "Why?" Her beautiful eyes widened.

"The devil's face will scare you to death."

Meng Ya smiled slyly and said, "I'm afraid this is no longer something you can decide."

Wuzhe's body was entangled in the silk without him noticing. He did not panic, but said calmly: "It seems that I can't do it, but I have reminded you that curiosity is not a good habit, and if you want to give me to your lover, you don't need to see my face."

Meng Ya did not take off the mask directly, but asked with a smile: "How did you know that I was taking you to see my lover?"

"It's only worth it for your lover."

Meng Ya smiled like a flower and said tenderly, "I really admire you. You guess everything so accurately. If you know, why did you come with me? Are you that bastard gentleman?"

"I am not a gentleman, let alone a shitty gentleman. The reason I followed the princess here is that I also want to see who the princess's lover is. He actually has such great charm that he can make the princess disrespect the laws of Yuechang."

Meng Ya paused and asked, "You actually know the Yuechang regulations?"

"This is no longer a secret. According to Yuechang law, women can only leave Yuechang to meet their lovers in mid-June of each year when they reach childbearing age. If they do not return after the deadline, their bodies will fester and they will die. After returning home, if they give birth to a boy, he will be abandoned in the Ten Thousand Snake Valley. Therefore, Yuechang is full of women, with no men at all."

Meng Ya Gege smiled and said, "You know where I'm taking you, right?"

"The Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes."

The green python stopped, and there was silence all around. Meng Ya reached out her slender hand and stroked the mask, saying softly, "I really don't know what kind of face is under this mask."

"Since you are curious, why not uncover it and take a look." A cold voice came from above.
