7 Killers

Chapter 6 - A Dragon Amongst Men

Part 1

A long time passed. His whole body had begun to grow numb, and his hands were ice cold. It was at that time that he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps.

The footsteps were very light, and the person seemed to be walking very slowly. He could feel their every step in his tingling muscles.

Who was this person?

Was it Madam Lovesickness, or Tang Qing?

Whoever it was, they certainly would not be bringing good times with them.

The sky was bright.

The early morning sun shone in through the door, casting the shadow of the person into the restaurant. It was very long, and it seemed to be in the shape of a woman.

After a while, he was able to see the person's feet.

The shoes were soft and decorated with green flowers. The feet were dainty and delicate.

Liu Changjie sighed. He knew who the person was.

"Since when did you start lying on tables this way?" Her voice was general quite pleasant, but now it carried a mocking tone, as acidic as an unripe plum. "Is it because your ass is swollen from being spanked?"

Liu Changjie could only laugh bitterly.

The voice continued, "I remember you were always the type to brag until you're blue in the face. But how come it's your ass that's black and blue instead of your face?"

He laughed. "Even if my ass was twice as swollen as it is now, it still wouldn't be as big as yours."

"Look, pal," she laughed, "at a time like this you still dare to be obstinate? Aren't you worried I'll punch your face until it's black and blue?"

"I know you couldn't bear to," he smiled. "Don't forget that I'm your husband."

As it turns out, the woman was Hu Yue'er.

She crouched down, took hold of his chin, and stared into his eyes.

"My poor little husband, who was it that beat you up this way? Tell me."

"You're getting ready to go vent your anger on her for me?"

"I'm getting ready to go thank her." Hu Yue'er suddenly twisted his nose. "Thank her for teaching you a lesson, you disobedient bastard."

He laughed. "When a wife wants to curse her husband, she can say anything she wants, but she shouldn't use the word bastard. After all, it implies bad things about the wife."

She bit her lip. "If I really was mad," she said hatefully, "I could turn you into a cuckold if I wanted to."

She seemed to be getting angrier and angrier. She twisted his ear violently. "When you left, did you wear extra thick clothes? Answer me!"

"I didn't."

"Did you go ask for the super sharp sword?"

"I didn't."

"Did you take care of Tang Qing first?"

"I didn't."

"Did you do anything according to plan?"

"I didn't."

She bared her teeth. "Other people thought things through so carefully for you, why do you always ignore everyone?"

"Because ever since I was young, I've never been an obedient kid. When people tell me I can't do something, that's exactly what I want to do."

She laughed coldly. "You think you're so amazing, don't you? That nobody else can compare to you."
