Chapter 339: Can’t Sleep at Night (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ye Jingtang had just finished serving Dumdum and was thinking of going to talk with Ning’er. He looked over and saw two tall and heroic women, one blue and one white, standing side by side in front of the bed. He was stunned.
The two women were about the same height and had similar figures, but Ning’er’s temperament was colder. When she wasn’t smiling, she was cold and aloof. She looked so beautiful that people only dared to look at her from afar and didn’t dare to get close to her.
Daoist Xuanji had a beautiful appearance and looked spirited, like a fairy on a mountain peak who didn’t care about worldly affairs. But when she was calm, the corners of her lips would always curl up slightly, revealing a hint of cynical demonic aura. She gave off a strong offensive feeling. One look and people could tell that she was a beauty that wasn’t easy to subdue.
Although their temperaments were different, the two of them did look like best friends. They looked like real sisters…
“Miss Shui’er, you—”
“Call her Senior Lu!” Luo Ning turned around and heard Ye Jingtang addressing her so intimately, so she corrected him.
Daoist Xuanji was hugging Luo Ning’s waist, and she didn’t let go even when her husband came. She even tilted her head slightly and gestured at the bed. “Ning’er and I are going to bed. Do you want to sleep together?”
Sleep together… Ye Jingtang felt that this shouldn’t be an invitation. If he dared to accept, he would probably be beaten up. He immediately retreated. “Fairy Lu, don’t joke. You two rest first. Just tell me if you need anything.”
Creak-
The door closed again.
Ye Jingtang listened attentively in front of the door. He didn’t hear any voices inside, so he tiptoed to the next room and opened the door.
The light in the room next door was already off, but Pei Xiangjun wasn’t asleep. She had been lying on the bed, listening to the sounds of Daoist Xuanji dealing with the cowardly Ning’er.
When Pei Xiangjun saw Ye Jingtang enter, her face turned red. She silently waved her hand, indicating for him to leave. After all, no matter how much she doted on him, she couldn’t let Daoist Xuanji and the princess listen to the live erotic scene next door.
Ye Jingtang had only come to check on Third Lady’s condition and had no intention of letting her reward him while she was injured. Seeing that she was fine, he said softly, “It’s already late. Go to bed early.”
“I know. You should go to bed early too.”
In the dead of night, the corridor was dark and empty.
Ye Jingtang came out of Third Lady’s room and stood alone in the middle of the corridor. He looked around blankly and suddenly understood what it meant to have three girls but no milk to drink.
There were other rooms in the inn, but Ye Jingtang wasn’t sleepy at all. He thought about it and went to the lobby. He took two bottles of wine, jerky, and fruit from behind the counter and jumped onto the roof. He sat on the roof and drank by himself while keeping watch.
The hiding bird found that Ye Jingtang was eating, so it couldn’t resist the temptation. It emerged from under the dark eaves and landed beside Ye Jingtang. It spread its wings and chirped, looking like it was complaining about Sister Heartless tricking it.
Ye Jingtang naturally didn’t blame the bird. Just like in the border town, he ate snacks while chatting with the bird.
“Chirp chirp chirp-”
“One against five isn’t a big deal. Next time, 1’11 show you one against ten…”
“Chirp?” The bird’s eyes were full of confusion as it gestured: Who said you’re powerful? I’m saying to feed me. I’m so anxious!
One human and one bird were playing around for a while. Suddenly, a sound came from under the eaves.
Ye Jingtang looked over and saw Dumdum, who had just taken a bath and was wearing his black robe made of water cloud brocade, jump up from below.
Because Dongfang Liren had just finished washing up and would rest later, her long, wet hair was draped over her back. She was tall and slender, and the length of the man’s robe was suitable, but it was inevitable that it was a little loose.
The only part of her body that could hold up was her chest, which was much larger than Ye Jingtang’s.
As she walked, the robe swayed like water ripples. And the fat-headed dragon, because it had lost the tight wrapping of the slim-fit python dress, was clearly shaking…
Although Ye Jingtang couldn’t see the scenery under the black robe, he was sure that Dumdum wasn’t wearing the sexy smallclothes he had sent. Otherwise, she wouldn’t look so soft, and the waves wouldn’t be so big…
Dongfang Liren walked on the roof with her head held high as usual. Her entire body was covered tightly, so she didn’t feel that anything was wrong. But when she saw Ye Jingtang biting a piece of jerky and looking at her in a daze, and his gaze was still moving down, her heroic eyes turned cold. “What are you looking at?”
“Hehe…” Ye Jingtang was surprised to see that Dumdum wasn’t wearing a chest undergarment. But after he thought about it, it was reasonable. After all, she didn’t bring anything with her and didn’t want to wear the sexy smallclothes, so she could only make do with it.
He averted his gaze and looked around. When he found that there were no outsiders around in the middle of the night, he moved the bird, who was still engrossed in eating, away and patted his side. “Why is Your Highness up here? Can’t sleep at night?”
“You’re talking nonsense with it on the roof. How am I supposed to sleep?”
Dongfang Liren walked unhurriedly to the middle of the roof and sat down beside Ye Jingtang. She put on a dignified appearance and calmly looked at the sparsely lit town. “When you work in the bureaucracy, you must have the awareness of being a subordinate. If you hadn’t worked hard and made many extraordinary contributions, I would have thrown you into the dungeon for offending me several times…”
Ye Jingtang looked at Dumdum’s criticizing gaze and found it a little funny. He picked up a wine bottle and said, “Then, I will punish myself with wine to apologize to Your Highness.”
Seeing that Ye Jingtang didn’t take it seriously at all, Dongfang Liren’s eyes darkened slightly, but there was nothing she could do about him. After thinking about it, she decided to forget it. She picked up the unopened small wine bottle from the side, opened the cork, and clinked it with Ye Jingtang’s. She brought it to her mouth and took a sip. Then she frowned slightly. “What wine is this?”
“It’s the Burning Knife on the market. One tael of silver per catty?. It’s normal for Your Highness not to be used to it.”
“It tastes so bad… How can you drink it?”
“This is already considered good wine. In the past, in Red River Town, my foster father only drank mixed wine that cost a few copper coins a pot. Other than being strong, it has no other taste. He saved all the money for me…
“Actually, being able to drink wine is already very rare for the people at the border. Wine is the essence extracted from grain. It’s said that brewing one catty of wine requires three catties of food. It’s already very difficult for ordinary people to eat their fill, so they can only drink a little during festivals…”
