Chapter 382 Where am I inferior to her?
Chapter 382 Where am I inferior to her?
Qiu Ziyue and Zhao Wanqing went to have breakfast and quickly shook off Du Xiao.
The two went to a Longji Steamed Bun Shop, ordered two baskets of steamed buns, and sat there waiting for them to be served.
Suddenly, Zhao Wanqing grabbed her and started running.
Qiu Ziyue felt puzzled, so she walked into an empty alley and said:
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so cowardly?"
Zhao Wanqing said, "Are you blind? Didn't you see that Qi the Ice Block come in?"
"Ah!" Qiu Ziyue exclaimed, "Why is he here? Did he come after me to sign the divorce papers?"
Zhao Wanqing said:
"Oh, sister, why don't you go back and break it off with him completely? Then I won't have to be a coward like you."
Qiu Ziyue muttered, "I get annoyed just looking at him. I never want to talk to him again."
Zhao Wanqing said:
"Okay, calm down first. Luckily, we're both women disguised as men, so he probably didn't recognize us."
Seeing Qiu Ziyue's unhappy expression, Zhao Wanqing immediately grabbed her arm:
"Alright, sister, I'll stay with you. Don't get angry over a man. Look how cowardly you are."
If you're unhappy, just beat him up, and that'll be fine...
At Longji Steamed Bun Shop, the waiter brought out the steamed buns and, noticing that Qiu Ziyue and Zhao Wanqing were nowhere to be seen, was puzzled:
"Esteemed guests, the steamed buns have arrived, but where is the person? Where did they go? What should we do with the steamed buns?"
The waiter asked everyone, "Who saw those two boys who were sitting here just now? Where did they go?"
Some sharp-eyed people said that they hurriedly ran away hand in hand, and no one knew where they went.
Qi Yuxuan and Yun Feiyang saw that the waiter was standing there in a daze, so they said:
"Waiter, let us eat those two baskets of buns first, otherwise they won't taste good when they get cold."
The waiter agreed, and the group buried their heads in eating the steamed buns.
Just then, Du Xiao ran into the steamed bun shop, panting, and called out, "Sister, are you here?"
Qi Yuxuan glanced at Du Xiao and saw that he was a refined young scholar.
After peering around the store entrance for a moment, he wiped the sweat from his brow and ran off.
Qi Yuxuan turned back to continue eating his steamed bun, but then Du Xiao suddenly shouted, catching his attention.
"Twilight Sparkle, why are you running so fast? Where did you go again?"
Upon hearing the sound, Qi Yuxuan suddenly stood up and looked towards the door, but Du Xiao was nowhere to be seen.
While I was still in a daze, several more people came with a portrait of Qiu Ziyue, looking for her.
Qi Yuxuan thought to himself, "My wife, wherever you go, it's earth-shattering."
Where are you? Is the Twilight Sparkle sister that the boy mentioned really you?
Just then, a customer was suddenly heard say:
"Miss Ziyue from Baihualou will be performing tonight. Let's go see her! Her looks and her charm are absolutely superb!"
Qi Yuxuan felt a surge of secret joy mixed with anger:
"You damned she-devil! How dare you perform in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion? This is outrageous! Where do you put my face, Qi Yuxuan?"
As the diners gradually left, Qi Yuxuan said to Yun Feiyang and his wife:
"Let's go to... Baihualou tonight, let's take a look."
Yun Feiyang and his wife nodded in agreement. Along the way, they noticed that Qi Yuxuan was in a bad mood and didn't say much.
The Hundred Flowers Pavilion was brightly lit at night, and Qi Yuxuan and Yun Feiyang slowly stepped inside.
The hall was filled with guests, and the melodious sounds of traditional Chinese string and wind instruments filled the air.
Soon after, a woman wearing a veil slowly flew to the center of the main hall.
Her dance moves were enchanting and captivating, leaving many male guests breathless.
Qi Yuxuan stared at the dancer, but he knew perfectly well that this was not Qiu Ziyue.
He turned to leave, but the woman stopped him.
"Sir, you are very handsome. Would you like to stay and keep me company tonight?"
Qi Yuxuan frowned and pushed her away.
"Get out of the way."
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman let out a burst of silvery laughter.
She then removed the scarf, revealing a face that resembled Qiu Ziyue's.
"How could you..."
Qi Yuxuan was shocked.
The woman chuckled, "Who I am isn't important. What's important is that I can help you find the person you're looking for."
After speaking, she vanished from everyone's sight in a flash.
Qi Yuxuan chased after him outside, only to see a dark shadow flash across the eaves in the night, leaving behind a string of mysterious laughter.
Yun Feiyang and his wife looked at Qi Yuxuan with suspicion, "What happened?"
Qi Yuxuan pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps, we are one step closer to the truth."
Qi Yuxuan and Yun Feiyang quickly followed the woman to a secluded place, where she suddenly disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, a burst of laughter rang out.
Qi Yuxuan turned around and saw that it was Yelü Mingyao.
"It's you."
Qi Yuxuan was shocked.
Yelü Mingyao said, "I didn't expect General Qi to have come to Chang'an as well. I heard that Qiu Ziyue has left you. That's for the best."
Why not come to my Khitan and become his son-in-law? I will be obedient to you in everything.
Qi Yuxuan was furious:
"You're dreaming. We'll live and die together. We can never be separated. She doesn't want me, and I can't betray her."
Yelü Mingyao said, "Well said, but unfortunately you have no choice in coming this time."
Immediately, Yelü Mingyao sprinkled some poison powder, and Qi Yuxuan and Yun Feiyang instantly lost consciousness.
As night deepened, Qi Yuxuan suddenly woke up to find himself surrounded by a festive red hue.
He was dressed in a wedding gown and was tightly bound to a chair.
The candlelight flickered in the bridal chamber, casting shadows on the "囍" character on the wall.
His brows were furrowed, his heart filled with anger and confusion.
"Welcome back, General Qi."
A charming laugh came from the doorway, and Yelü Mingyao slowly walked into the room.
She was dressed in magnificent Khitan attire, a smug smile on her face.
"How is it? This outfit suits you well, doesn't it?"
Qi Yuxuan gritted his teeth,
"Yelu Mingyao, how dare you treat me like this! Qiu Ziyue and I are bound together by life and death; you can't force me to do this."
Yelü Mingyao chuckled softly.
"Qi Yuxuan, I know your feelings for Qiu Ziyue. But you should also understand that she has already left you."
"Since that's the case, why not choose a better place to belong? In my Khitan, you will have endless wealth and glory."
Qi Yuxuan sneered.
"Wealth and glory? I have never lacked them. Even if Qiu Ziyue really leaves me, I will never betray her."
"By doing this, you will only make yourself more pathetic."
Yelü Mingyao's expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.
"It seems you're determined to resist me. However, it's not up to you."
Tonight, you will become my son-in-law, whether you like it or not.
Yelü Mingyao began to undress in front of her, peeling off her body piece by piece.
Qi Yuxuan closed his eyes and said:
"Are all Khitan women this shameless? Put this on quickly, or I will kill myself."
But Yelü Mingyao smiled coldly, staring at Qi Yuxuan with a seductive gaze.
"Qi Yuxuan, open your eyes and see for yourself, in what way am I inferior to Qiu Ziyue?"
Qi Yuxuan kept his eyes closed:
"You have no self-respect at all. You are no match for her. You can't compare to Twilight Sparkle."
"I don't believe it. My figure is fuller, and my face is more alluring."
"My skills in bed are much hotter than hers, you'll see soon enough."
Yelü Mingyao walked towards Qi Yuxuan with a charming smile. At this moment, she was only wearing the wildest and most primitive dance dress.
She hooked one arm around Qi Yuxuan's chin and said:
"I don't believe a man can refuse me; I am a fiery rose of the grasslands."
Come on, I'll make you feel like you're in heaven.
After saying that, Yelü Mingyao tried to forcefully kiss Qi Yuxuan.
Qi Yuxuan then lowered his head and bumped into Yelü Mingyao.
"You audacious vixen, how dare you be so shameless! Stop your reckless behavior..."
