HMIME Chapter 52: “Lots of Love”

“Oh?” Xuan Gui chuckled deeply. “So, tell me, how is the Emperor a bastard?”

For some reason, Bai Lu vaguely sensed a hint of killing intent and chill in the other party’s laughter, and couldn’t help but shiver, stuttering, “Uh… well, let me think.”

A few seconds later, Bai Lu began to embellish Chu Ya’s bad deeds.

“This guy is simply despicable. The first time we met, he insisted on dragging me to bed. I refused… of course, if sacrificing my beauty for the organization, I would be willing. It’s just that my brain didn’t catch up at the time, so I was very unwilling. But he still forced me. Isn’t that unreasonable? He’s simply a bully! A bandit! Oh, sorry, I forgot we are also bandits…”

Xuan Gui: “……”

Bai Lu heard a faintly grinding teeth behind the mask, continuing, “What else? What else did he do to you?”

“There’s more…”

Although Bai Lu had a low education, poor grades, and wasn’t very articulate, when it came to speaking ill of Chu Ya, he could talk non-stop for three days and nights without repeating himself.

“Let me tell you, Master, you don’t know, Chu Ya is mentally abnormal! Do you know what it means to be mentally abnormal? It means the brain isn’t the same as a normal person’s. Have you ever seen a normal person preparing a bunch of…?”

Bai Lu paused for a moment, feeling embarrassed to say the word ‘sex toys.’

“Also, he’s very picky and a bit of a clean freak. His study has to be cleaned every day, no speck of dust can be on the shelves. Once I accidentally spilled soup on his documents in the study, he scolded me!”

Xuan Gui: “The Emperor didn’t throw you out of the gate to be beheaded and quartered, which is already considered lenient.”

Beside him, Chen Hu became more and more uneasy. His voice suddenly raised, “Since you can freely enter and exit the Emperor’s study, how is it possible that you didn’t find any secrets? Were you lying just now?!”

Bai Lu was suddenly caught off guard by the question. He thought Chen Hu looked like a simple-minded person with well-developed limbs, but he turned out to be quite sharp.

Xuan Gui coldly said, “He is no longer your man, and you have no right to interrogate him anymore.”

Chen Hu protested, “But!”

He originally thought Lin Xiao’an was useless, so he readily handed him over to Xuan Gui. But from their conversation just now, it was possible that Lin Xiao’an had intentionally concealed something. Could it be that Xuan Gui had realized it from the beginning and demanded this person from him?

Seeing the doubt in Chen Hu’s heart, Xuan Gui asked with deep meaning, “Or does Second Master think it’s better for Lin Xiao’an to tell me the information he knows alone? Could it be that Second Master has some plan that he doesn’t want me to know?”

The two factions of the Sky Wolf Sect had always been at odds, but they had never openly discussed it. Xuan Gui’s pointed question was also a warning to him, so Chen Hu had no choice but to stop speaking, just glaring at the other party fiercely, wishing to tear him apart and feast on his flesh and blood.

Xuan Gui didn’t mind, standing up leisurely and smoothing out the wrinkles on his clothes with slender fingers before walking towards the door.

The people he brought with him followed closely behind. Bai Lu hesitated for a moment, feeling it was safer to follow Xuan Gui, so he quickly caught up with the tail of the group.

Just before stepping out of the door, he glanced back sneakily and saw that Chen Hu’s face had turned as purple as a pig’s liver, probably not pleased with the Second Master for a long time.

Bai Lu wasn’t pleased with him either. Who made him hit and kick him just now? Now his body still hurts.

Taking advantage of having a new “patron,” before closing the door, Bai Lu arrogantly raised his middle finger at him and cursed him silently in his heart before quickly leaving.

However, Chen Hu was stunned, quickly asking his subordinates, “What does this mean?”

His subordinates were also puzzled, stuttering for a long time before hesitantly saying, “Maybe… it’s some kind of signal? Could it be related to the information Lin Xiao’an found out?”

Chen Hu couldn’t just leave it at that, quickly calling for pen and paper. “Quickly, hurry up! Write down the signal just now, I need to analyze it carefully!”

“Yes!”

Meanwhile, Bai Lu, unaware of the “eternal mystery” he unintentionally left behind, walked along with Xuan Gui’s group deeper into the courtyard, looking around, hoping to find an opportunity to escape.

The internal routes of this mansion were complex, with one courtyard after another. It would probably be difficult to figure out the entire structure even if he stayed here for a month.

Bai Lu was clear about his own intelligence. He knew he probably couldn’t escape on his own. Did he have to wait helplessly for Chu Ya to come and rescue him?

Thinking about this, Bai Lu felt ashamed.

Originally, he was supposed to play the hero and save the beauty, but if he couldn’t save the beauty and ended up needing the beauty to save him, when he met Chu Ya later, who knew how he would mock him.

Lost in thought, Bai Lu didn’t notice that the people in front had stopped, and he continued walking forward, only to bump into Xuan Gui’s solid back.

Xuan Gui stood tall in front of a tall house door, turning around to look down at him.

With his mask on, Bai Lu couldn’t tell if he was angry or not, but for some reason, he felt a cold killing intent emanating from Xuan Gui, directed at him.

But he hadn’t done anything wrong. He just said a few bad things about Chu Ya to survive.

Xuan Gui instructed the people around him, “You all can leave first.”

Then he personally pushed open the door and turned to Bai Lu, “Come in.”

Bai Lu walked in cautiously. It wasn’t dark inside; the lights were on. Inside, there was a large bed, several bookshelves, a tea table, some hanging paintings, and not much else. It was a very ordinary room, not as terrifying as Bai Lu had imagined.

At that moment, the word ‘training’ popped out of Xuan Gui’s mouth, and a room full of torture instruments appeared in his mind.

Xuan Gui closed the door and they were the only two left in the room. The candlelight on the table was dancing brightly, and the candle in the corner exuded a faint fragrance.

When he was alone, Bai Lu felt the pressure from the other party. He couldn’t help but feel uneasy. He took two steps to the table, preparing to pick up the iron candlestick and hit him if Xuan Gui tried to harm him.

Who would have thought that Xuan Gui just sat at the table indifferently, picked up the teapot, poured himself a glass of water, and asked in a calm tone: “Listen to what you just said, do you hate the emperor?”

Bai Lu hesitated for a moment, “Yeah…yes.”

“Is that so?” Xuan Gui suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist, placed it on the table without hesitation, and asked, “If you have the chance, will you kill him?”

of course not!

Bai Lu has never fallen in love with anyone in his life. Chu Ya is the only man he can risk his life to protect and is willing to live and die with him. Even if he says he hates him, he is suspicious of him in his heart and doubts his love for him. deception, but these are nothing more than that kind of love. It is impossible for Bai Lu to be an enemy of Chu Ya, even if he is a evil person.

But now if he speaks his mind, he may be killed by Xuan Gui as an alien. Bai Lu is not afraid of death, but he doesn’t want to die either. He has made an agreement to live to ninety-nine with Chu Ya.

So Bai Lu nodded against his will, “I will.”

The momentary surrender is for the sake of future reunion, and the words of surrender are not really what you want to do. You would rather die than surrender and commit suicide. In the end, the two of them are separated by Yin and Yang, which is a big fool.

Bai Lu thought with luck, fortunately Chu Ya was not here, if he heard it, their relationship would probably break down.

After hearing this answer, Xuan Gui chuckled, seemed very happy, and praised without meaning, “Well said.”

Bai Lu sneakily glanced at him, thinking that Xuan Gui seemed to really hate Chu Ya. Was he trying to form an alliance with him?

While he was guessing, Xuan Gui suddenly pointed to the bed inside and ordered, “Take off your clothes and sit on the bed.”

Bai Lu’s alarm bells went off in his head. He couldn’t believe this guy was asking him to do that. Did he think Bai Lu was that easy?

Seeing Bai Lu not moving, Xuan Gui urged, “What are you standing there for? Hurry up, I’ll apply medicine for you.”

“Apply medicine?”

“Yeah, didn’t you get kicked just now? Does it still hurt?”

Then Xuan Gui paused, his tone becoming playful, “What do you think I’m going to do?”

This tone sounded familiar. Bai Lu diverted his gaze, pretending to be calm. “Oh, I thought you wanted me to help you make the bed…”

He couldn’t quite figure out Xuan Gui’s intentions, so he stood still. “I have nothing to do. No need for medicine.”

Xuan Gui smiled, “Do you not want to undress in front of me? There’s medicinal wine in the cabinet by the bed. Apply it yourself behind the curtain. Don’t worry, I won’t peek.”

Bai Lu sincerely said, “Actually, I’ve always wanted to ask you if you can see through that mask. Don’t you bump into things in the dark?”

“… Go apply the medicine. Don’t make me say it a second time.”

Bai Lu hurried to obey, first pulling the curtain closed, then rummaging through the drawer at the bedside. He found a bottle of medicinal wine. Smelling it, it was indeed ordinary medicinal wine.

What’s this Eldest Master’s plan? Did he really want to recruit him?

Feeling proud, Bai Lu undressed while wagging his tail. Look at this, look at this, this is what it means to be recognized for one’s talent. He must be a rare talent to be considered by even the leader of the Sky Wolf Sect. It’s just that Chu Ya, that ignorant person, PUAing him all day long, saying his brain doesn’t work well.

Bai Lu took off his clothes and saw that the area on his waist where he had been kicked was already bruised. That surname Chen was really despicable, even his subordinates could be so ruthless!

He was very familiar with the use of medicinal wine. After all, he often got injured in his previous life, and he didn’t always have money to go to the hospital. He basically just bought a bottle of medicinal wine to rub on his wounds.

Bai Lu poured some medicinal wine into his hand, rubbed it to warm it up, and then slowly applied it to the bruise, rubbing hard to disperse the blood.

As he was doing this, the curtain suddenly lifted from the outside, and Xuan Gui stood by the bed, looking down at him with interest.

As for how Bai Lu could feel Xuan Gui’s interest through the mask, it was because Xuan Gui’s gaze was too obvious, directly falling on Bai Lu’s bare shoulders and chest without any disguise.

Bai Lu immediately grabbed his clothes and hastily covered himself, angrily asking, “What are you doing? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t peek?!”

Xuan Gui nodded, “Yes, so I’m watching openly.”
