Chapter 42: A Woman's Mouth! A Lying Ghost
After all that scheming!
Enduring humiliation!
Lying and cheating!
Finally managing to get Katerina onto the vendor cloth!
Wasted so much effort to subdue her!
Thought I'd finally escape this sea of misery!
Then the Dark Night Army says, never mind, no need to catch her! Let her go!
Let her go?
Are you messing with me, little master?
Just like that, no catching her? So casual?
How am I supposed to let her go?
Jiangnan glanced at Katerina...
Her pretty face was full of frost.
If he let her go now, would there be any good outcome for him?
"You guys should just catch her and take her back! She's so dangerous! Letting her run wild is irresponsible to society and the people!"
Then
"Beep~"
"Beep~"
"Beep~"
"Sister Shanmiao? Hey!"
Jiangnan: !!!
He couldn't help swallowing, feeling guilty.
Then he grinned a brilliant smile.
He didn't dare let Katerina go at all.
Instead, he reached out and rubbed her smooth forehead.
"Still hurt? Ah! It's all my fault! Rub it, don't hurt, ao!"
Katerina said calmly, "Let me go. I won't hit you."
[From Katerina: Resentment Value +1000]
Jiangnan shivered: "Sister... your words aren't very convincing!"
A resentment value of 1000!
That just gives it away, okay?
Jiangnan was helpless too. They couldn't just stay on the vendor cloth forever, could they?
But once he left the vendor cloth,
Jiangnan was definitely doomed...
"You have such a broad heart, you even fattened up Pikachu! Don't blame me, okay?"
"Just pretend it never happened, okay? Be good, ao!"
Katerina smiled gently and said, "Mm! I'll be good! I'll behave! Let me go!"
[From Katerina: Resentment Value +999]
Jiangnan: ???
Sure enough!
A woman's mouth is a lying ghost!
"How about I treat you to some barbecue?"
[From Katerina: Resentment Value +888?]
Jiangnan's eyes lit up. A chance?
"There's fatty beef, fatty lamb, tripe, enoki mushrooms, chicken wings, hairy crabs..."
[From Katerina: Resentment Value +777!]
[...+666!]
[...+555!]
With each item, the resentment value decreased by a little.
No other reason...
Just because Katerina was getting hungry from what Jiangnan said.
Sure enough!
There's nothing a barbecue can't solve!
If there is, then two barbecues!
"And I'll take you shopping for clothes! Buy the most expensive ones!"
As soon as he said that, the resentment value stopped refreshing.
Katerina pouted: "Deal! Let me go now! You touched me again!"
Jiangnan's face turned red.
He scratched his head awkwardly and tentatively released Katerina...
She really didn't lose her temper. Instead, she said with a little excitement, "Where are we eating?"
Jiangnan: ...
He'd forgotten—this girl hadn't eaten all day because she was watching him.
Since you're so pitiful,
Mm! Today I'll take you out for some fun!
"Follow your Nan Shen! There's everything at night!"
With that, Jiangnan really took Katerina out for skewers.
Ordered the most expensive ones.
Then went to buy clothes.
Katerina changed into a new outfit: tight jeans, a black crop top,
plus a purple fisherman's hat. She was already pretty,
and with Jiangnan's almost ceiling-level handsome face,
the two of them became the most eye-catching people on the street.
Wherever they walked, people turned their heads.
Jiangnan also took her to watch a movie, got her hair done, got a manicure, and finally went to the game arcade to play all night!
Katerina found everything incredibly novel...
Usually, she moved through the dark world.
These were things she had never experienced.
This night was special for her.
The next morning!
Jiangnan, who hadn't slept all night, went to school again.
Katerina still stubbornly waited at the school gate.
Classmates looked at Jiangnan's dark circles,
then at Katerina,
and all gave ambiguous smiles, thumbs up to Jiangnan.
"Nice going, Nan Shen! You really worked hard last night!"
"Awesome, awesome! You must be the Iron Kidney War God!"
"Tsk tsk tsk! So damn happy!"
"Damn! I'm so jealous!"
The girls in the class were also excitedly discussing, occasionally glancing at Jiangnan, their pretty faces slightly red.
Liu Quanwu was so jealous his teeth itched, and he trained like crazy.
But Jiangnan was too lazy to explain. He just slept through it.
Katerina stood under the tree shade. Actually, she didn't know why the Dark Night Army wasn't catching her anymore.
Everyone had withdrawn.
Was it because the Blood Incineration reagent was used on Jiangnan?
That was fine too.
At noon, she received a message on her phone.
She gave Jiangnan a complicated look, then left.
By the time Jiangnan woke up, it was afternoon.
He subconsciously looked out the window.
Huh?
Where was the blonde beauty?
Probably went home early because it was too hot, right?
Jiangnan didn't think much of it.
When he got home in the evening, he found his room had been cleaned spotlessly.
His phone was on the table.
Jiangnan looked at it curiously, opened it, and saw a message on WeChat.
From "Blonde Beauty"
Her avatar was a cute Pikachu.
"I'm leaving. Don't leave Jiangcheng recently. Better seek protection from the Dark Night Army."
"You have the Blood Incineration reagent on you. The White Shark won't let you go. Be careful."
"Maybe we'll meet again if fate allows."
"But you probably wouldn't want to see me."
Jiangnan stared at the phone for two minutes.
The message was sent at noon. She must have been picked up then.
"Hey hey hey! You're the villain! Is it really okay to tell me this directly?"
Jiangnan chuckled. Katerina really had taken "Blonde Beauty" as her nickname.
So he replied:
"Blonde beauty! You left your combat suit at my place. Don't you want to come back and get it?"
On the green train heading to Russia, Katerina was gazing out the window at the scenery.
Her phone vibrated lightly.
Her eyes lit up, and she quickly picked it up.
Then her face was full of anger.
"Keep it for yourself! (งᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)ง⁼³₌₃"
[From Katerina: Resentment Value +888]
Jiangnan looked at the combat suit hanging by the window to dry and snickered.
Nan Shen: "Don't participate in White Shark's operations targeting me. You'll probably die badly."
Blonde Beauty: "I... I'll try."
Nan Shen: "Ura!"
Blonde Beauty: ...
"Ura (｡ì_í｡)"
Heheh?
This Russian beauty is pretty good with emojis!
Jiangnan lay on the bed, thinking.
The Dark Night Army definitely knew about his actions.
They knew about the reagent too.
Not catching Katerina was probably to let the line go long and catch the big fish.
Thinking about it made Jiangnan angry.
Using me as bait?
Did they get my consent?
Stinky Shanmiao! Saw my body and didn't take responsibility!
Jiangnan didn't care about White Shark or White Bear.
Tomorrow was the final exam!
Let's get first place first!
Long night!
Can't sleep?
Jiangnan directly picked up the English book on the bedside table.
Can't sleep?
Then time to study!
