Translator: chuchutrain Editor: Rock, DavidT

"It's not so!" Ling Tian gazed at her softly. Right now, Xiao YanXue was in an emotional state of mind, and she couldn't be provoked any further. "The reason why I can't decide right now is because of three things. First, your emotions are not stable yet, and I'm afraid that you will regret this decision in the future. Second, you should also be aware that your identity is too sensitive. The moment it gets leaked, then you will receive the condescending stares from the rest of the world. Can you bear with that? Would you be willing to? As for the last point…"

Ling Tian took a deep breath, as though finding a way to phrase it. After frowning for quite a while, he finally spoke with difficulty, "The last point, regarding this matter, while the Xiao Family did sacrifice your happiness, I'm also the same by throwing stones at you while you're down, attempting to create a rift between you and your family. While my words might have been real, but my motive is indeed to destroy your relationship between you and your family. That much I will not lie."

Xiao YanXue opened her eyes wide, staring at Ling Tian. Upon hearing his last sentence, her eyes started to gleam.

After speaking, Ling Tian felt as though his heart was opened up. "As such, I really don't dare to use you! I'll give you some time, think over it carefully before making a decision. I will never force you. If after considering it thoroughly you still have the same choice, then I'll be very happy."

Stroking her silky hair, Ling Tian smiled tenderly at her. "Little lass, there are some things that can't be put down so easily. You might not have considered it clearly, but while your family looks as though they have abandoned you, harming you, they are in the end your blood relatives. You helping me is akin to pitting yourself against your own family. This sort of torture, if you're not prepared for it, will drive you crazy. I indeed hope that you will be able to help me, but I'm not prepared to make you suffer a lifetime as a consequence!"

Tears dripped down from Xiao YanXue's face, but the look in her eyes had already calmed down a lot as compared to before. Looking at Ling Tian with gratitude, she hoarsely enunciated word after word, "Thank you for your candidness, Ling Tian!"

Ling Tian warmly smiled, stretching out a finger and dabbing on her nose as he replied, "Once all is clear, you will feel comfortable and I will also feel happy. Days that are spent scheming and plotting against one another are the worst to go through. I understand that, and I'm sure you do too, right?" He then sighed, posing exaggeratedly as he continued, "Seems like being a nice person is better, at least you feel so much more comfortable in your heart."

Xiao YanXue only let out a small smile, as she held on to one of Ling Tian's finger. She whispered, "After we bade farewell that day at Sky Bearing, I never thought of scheming or plotting against you anymore. To hear you say that actually fills me with happiness." Pausing for a moment, she broke into a cheeky smile as she continued, "Seeing you speak so frankly, aren't you actually scheming something? It's just that your scheme this time is a flawless one if you're able to perform as such."

Ling Tian laughed out. Thinking about it, YanXue's words really made sense. Right now, given that her mood was at rock bottom, his explanations would give her a sort of reassurance in her heart.

Ling Tian let out a self-mocking laugh, "It seems like I have been scheming too much. Any casual statement of mine has such a deep scheme hiding behind it."

Xiao YanXue pursed her lips and grunted, "You are not a good person at all; a big baddie from head to toe." She then let out a bright smile, "Actually, ladies need to be coaxed. As for coaxing them, it is actually no different from lying to them. However, if you can lie to a lady to bring her joy for a lifetime, even if she knows that you are a liar, she would still be willingly lied to. If you are able to achieve that, you would undoubtedly be an accomplished liar."

As she wiped away her tears, Xiao YanXue was suddenly in a great mood and she pecked Ling Tian on the cheek before saying shyly, "Ling Tian, I am truly happy. Even if you want to lie to me, lie to me for a lifetime." She then let go of Ling Tian and lowered her flushed head.

Ling Tian was filled with warmth in his heart. Xiao YanXue was probably glad about him not scheming against her right? After patting her head lightly, he walked out without saying a thing.

Closing the door, he could hear Xiao YanXue's lovable whining, "Pig head! A pig head who doesn't know how to read the atmosphere!"

Ling Tian couldn't help but stumble as he grumbled in his heart, I have already been holding it in for a few months and you still dared to entice me as such. It is not that I don't know how to read the mood but the moment I start, the heavenly lightning would definitely descend and the earthly flames will burn. At that time, your chastity would definitely not be kept. Do you think the matters between a man and a woman are just kissing each other on the cheeks?

After Ling Jian and Li Xue left, Ling Tian couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness. However, he also had fewer burdens to be concerned about. As such, he immediately began his operation.

Everything had to be completed before that third young noble Yu steals the Snow Jade Sky Reversal Pellet if he wanted to watch a good show. If their deal is completed, the people from Above Heavens would definitely escape and he would lose his protagonist for the show!

...

Second young noble Yu walked out of the room comfortably as he stood in the courtyard with a set of pristine white robes. Thinking about the wild night he had last night, the soft body in his arms, the fragrant aroma… that pleading sound filled with ecstasy… Yu LiuFeng couldn't help but replay the many scenes in his head and he suddenly felt a wave of heat in his abdomen. He couldn't help but have the urge to charge back into the room and go for a second round.

A black-robed figure walked over and stood behind him.

"What's the matter?" Yu LiuFeng didn't turn back and plucked off a wooden hibiscus from the tree in front of him as he thought, If I placed this beautiful flower in front of Chun Xiang, would the flower or human be more attractive?

"Third young noble Yu returned extremely late last night and actually beat Old Seven Lu up. Not only was his arm broken, his nose was also fractured." The black-robed man hesitated for a moment before replying.

"What was the reason behind beating up Old Seven Lu?" Yu LiuFeng's eyes gleamed, and he unknowingly crushed the flower in his hand. "Where did third brother go? Why was he back so late?"

"Third young noble probably went to his Jasper Flower Courtyard. On the way back to the Yu Residence, Old Seven Lu wanted his signature and he… However, in the past few days, third young noble didn't stay the night in the courtyard." the black-robed man said respectfully.

"He didn't stay the night?" Yu LiuFeng raised his eyebrows and said doubtfully, "He is like a hungry ghost among lechers and he can actually hold himself back?"

The black-robed man couldn't help but be filled with awkwardness. He looked at his young noble who had obviously just come out from his beauty's embrace with a trace of lasciviousness still lingering in his aura, yet had the cheek to say that his brother was like a hungry ghost among lechers.

"These two days, there have been many people coming in and out from second young master's residence. Third young noble had requested to search them but was rejected by the Head Deacon." The black-robed man lowered his head and said, "Thus, third young noble has been extremely displeased with the black-robed disciples of the Deacons Hall and thus found an excuse to vent his anger…"

Yu LiuFeng sighed and the look of viciousness between his brows grew. "What did Head Deacon say?"

"Head Deacon didn't say a thing and there isn't anything to say in the first place." The black-robed man raised his head, and a tinge of dissatisfaction could be seen in his eyes.

"Of course I know." Yu LiuFeng waved his hands, "Little Madam's relatives from the countryside are here to find a job. They are only ordinary folks, and third brother will never be able to topple me with this small reason. What an idiot."

The black-robed man didn't leave and after hesitating for a long while, he finally said, "There seem to be unknown characters entering and leaving the Jasper Flower Courtyard… however, we aren't very certain. Perhaps we made a mistake or perhaps the martial arts of the unknown individual is too high."

"Eh?" Yu LiuFeng's lit up for a moment before pacing around in thought, "I understand."

The black-robed man then bowed respectfully and took his leave. As Yu LiuFeng looked at the black-robed man's departing figure, a strange glow shone in his eyes as he clenched his fists as though he made a resolute decision.

Yu LiuFeng then waved his sleeves and left hastily.

A long while later, a figure shook in the shadow of the bushes and Ling Tian's smiling face gradually appeared. A petite figure then walked out of the room and after the both of them looked at each other and gave each other a nod, Ling Tian broke out into a bright smile and disappeared again.

The sun was setting and another day went by. Darkness then gradually ate away the sunlight.

In the room, Ling Tian held onto a strange item and his right hand was holding onto some flour-like substance, both soft and sticky. It was as though he was sticking something onto Xiao YanXue's face before carefully sanding it smooth. A short while later, Xiao YanXue's face became puffy and chubby. Her originally slim and narrow jawline turned into a watermelon. Her lipid eyes were also turned into vicious looking triangular eyes under Ling Tian's makeup.

Finally, Ling Tian took out a small jade bottle from his bosom and poured out a bit of powder from it before keeping it away in a treasured manner. He then added some water to the powder before applying it to Xiao YanXue's face, arms, neck and any place where her skin would show.

Xiao YanXue sat there with shyness as she felt Ling Tian's gentle movements and his warmth on her face. The warmth of his arms seemed to have permeated through her skin and warmed her soul… She couldn't help but shut her eyes and let out soft moaning sounds as though she was muttering something.

However, Xiao YanXue never noticed that wherever Ling Tian's palm rubbed across, her skin would turn dark and crude. A beautiful lady had turned into a completely ugly lady who a beggar wouldn't even take a second glance…

Ling Tian then stood up and took two steps back to admire his own piece of work with satisfaction in his eyes. This made Xiao YanXue feel even more embarrassed as she thought to herself, Looking at the admiration in his eyes, I should probably be extremely beautiful at this moment…
