Thirty-Five Encounters

  Caught off guard, Jiu Si'er was shocked and opened her mouth to shout loudly, but the man seemed to know her intention and covered her mouth with one hand, dragging her behind a fake hill.

  In the dimly lit corner, as soon as she saw the person in front of her clearly for a moment, Jiu's anxiety was instantly replaced with shame and anger. "Brother, what are you doing? Let me go!"

  "What's wrong, Gan Douyou, aren't you going to pretend anymore?" Ouyang Jing not only didn't let up but instead propped his long arms on either side of Jiu Si'er and gave a wicked smile.

  "Big brother, isn't it against the rules of propriety for men and women to be so intimate? Have you never thought about that?" Jiuniang was infuriated by his attitude, but she tried her best to remain calm and reason with him.

  Obviously, Ou Yang Jing didn't think of this issue and was taken aback by these words. His face turned red with embarrassment as he took a step back, but his mouth still spoke defiantly, taunting Jiu Jie Er, "You dried-up bean sprout can also be called a woman? You're just trying to trick me into letting you go, humph, don't even think about it. Today, I'll settle the score with you along with the debt from four years ago."

  The ninth sister was so angry that she couldn't bear it, "Brother actually still said to settle the account, four years ago or four years later, weren't you all thinking of cheating me? A seven-foot-tall man, cheating a weak girl like me, and still speaking with confidence, isn't it shameless?"

  A few words made Ou Yang Jing's face turn purple, the black golden eyes were boiling with anger, staring fiercely at Jiu Jie Er but couldn't say a word.

  At the age of fourteen, just entering junior high school, he was still a young boy after all. Ninth sister secretly sighed in her heart, but on her face, she still had a bitter and resentful expression. She pushed away the sturdy arm that blocked her way with one hand and turned to leave.

  "Stop—" but unexpectedly, Ouyang Jing had a hand that blocked her way.

  "What else do you want?"

  "Hmph!" Ouyang Jing suddenly sneered, "You're wrong, I've never deceived you. Not only have I not deceived you, but I also have a favor to repay you."

  Jiuer was taken aback.

  Ouyang Jing sneered, "Four years ago, if I hadn't sacrificed myself to save you, you'd probably have been fish food by now; and just the other day, if it wasn't for me, how would you have gotten close to San Biao Jie?"

  Reckon what's due and add on top of it a reversal of black and white!

  Jiuer was so angry that she gritted her teeth, "Ouyang Jing, you...you're simply unreasonable, what do you want to do?"

  How's that?

  This matter made Ouyang Jing stunned for a moment, remembering it for four years and being annoyed by it for four years, but because of his pride, he never mentioned it.

  Think about it, a big man like him was actually kicked into the pool by a little girl. If this gets out, how can he still hang around?

  Moreover, this little girl even helped him cover up, saying that he was only doing it to save someone.

  So he couldn't say anything anymore.

  Adding to that was his puzzlement at Jiu's sudden change, so he endured it. But every time he thought about it, he had a feeling of being speechless and bitter.

  He then worked hard to exercise, never wanting that extra flesh again. If it weren't for his clumsiness, how could he, who had been practicing martial arts since childhood, be kicked into the lake and suffer this unprecedented humiliation?

  He practiced martial arts, joined the army, and galloped across the battlefield. He finally shed his former stoutness like a pig and transformed into today's agile tiger...

  "Miss, Ninth Miss..."

  At this moment, a sudden cry broke through the silent confrontation behind the fake mountain.

  "Ouyang Jing, get out of the way, my maid is coming, let me go!" Jiujie was anxious, if someone saw this scene, it would be terrible.

  Looking at Jiu's anxious appearance, Ouyang Jing suddenly felt that he had found a way to punish her, wanting to go out, but he refused.

  Four years ago, this little bean sprout had set him up and he had been regretting it for four whole years. Four years later, however, he was plotted against again.

  He thought of himself as a dignified prince, but he was actually outsmarted by a young yellow-haired girl, and this blow to his pride was hard for him to swallow.

  "Why go out? It's great here!" He smiled and said, as he pulled his arms in, completely encircling Jiu Si Er.

  "Of course, Jiu knew he was doing it on purpose. She hated him so much that her teeth ached, but she didn't dare shout loudly. All she could do was glare at him with a pair of eyes that seemed to be spitting fire: 'Ouyang Jing, are you going to let go or not?'"

  "Of course..." Naturally, Jiu Jie's anger rose, while Ouyang Jing became more pleased, "Don't let go!"

  "You...!" In her past life and this one, Jiu Si'er had always thought herself to be quite wise and skilled at reading the situation, so it was rare for her to lose control like this. At this moment, all of her rationality and composure were completely destroyed. "Ou Yang Jing, you bastard!" she cursed, raising her hand to slap that handsome face fiercely.

  "Bang——"

  Ouyang Jing never thought that Jiu would dare to hit him, so he didn't mind, but the result was that he really got slapped, and half of his face turned red in an instant.

  "You, you this cheap servant... You... dare hit me? You're tired of living..."

  As a noble royal relative, Ouyang Jing had never been treated this way before. He was furious and uncontrollable. With a slight tilt of his body, he pressed the Ninth Sister against the mountain rock, and then his large hands clamped down on her.

  The day she first arrived in this strange world, Jiu Jie had already witnessed his ruthlessness and lawlessness, so she was naturally on guard. She crouched down and tried to slip past him from under his arm.

  However, she obviously underestimated Ouyang Jing. He let out a cold laugh, his wrist spun around, and Jiu's back hem was caught.

  In an instant, with a "ripping" sound, the outer garment on Jiuniang's body was torn to shreds, revealing a section of her fair neck and that swatch of chest.

  Ouyang Jing was stunned for a moment, her eyes fixed on the snow-white skin and the bright red flower-patterned blouse.

  "Despicable..." Jiujier was furious, quickly covering her chest with one hand while using the other to push open the door and rush out, disappearing from sight in an instant.

  Ouyang Jing remained standing in a daze, then his handsome face slowly flushed and turned red...

  ……

  "Jing Er, did you hear me talking?"

  The queen put down the Qinghua longevity tea cup on the Huanghuai bed table and said sternly.

  "Uh..." Then, Ou Yang Jing, who was in a daze, suddenly came to and hastily smiled, "Mother, of course I'm listening."

  "Huh? Then what did I just say?"

  "Say... " Ou Yang Jing's shell was cracked.

  "You... you child, were you born just to pester me for debts? Not a moment goes by without annoying me..." The queen got even angrier and started rambling.

  "All right, all right, big sister, Jing Er is still a child after all." The madam Zou from the other side hastily advised.

  "Mother, aunt, there's still something in the camp, Jing Er will take his leave first." Seeing someone interrupting, Ouyang Jing hurriedly took the opportunity to slip away.

  "Hey... stop right there... ah!"

  The queen saw him and called out to him, but before she could even think about it, his figure had already reached the door and quickly disappeared from view. The queen couldn't help but let out a sigh.

  "Elder sister, Jing'er has already grown up, why must you be so strict?" Zou Shi advised again.

  "Isn't he being too lenient? This child has been spoiled since young, the prince is busy, and the old princess consort dotes on him so much. If I don't discipline him now, who knows how many more troubles he will stir up in the future."

  "Ah!" Zou looked at his sister and wanted to say something, but in the end, he just sighed.

  "Sister, are you thinking of your family's Liu Si'er? You say these children, why are they so troublesome?" The queen said.

  Zou looked at her with a sullen face, "Sister, don't worry too much, the children are still young!"

  "What's little?" The queen shook her head in great disapproval, "Three years old looks big, eight years old looks old!"

  Zou Shi wanted to say something else, but Princess Xin waved her hand and said, "Sister, I'm tired, I want to go back and lie down for a bit!"

  Zou Shi could only shut his mouth and let the servant help Princess Wang back.

  After the princess left, Zou Shi also dismissed the maidservants around her and sat alone on the kang, thinking about her troubles.

  "Madam, San Gu Niang has arrived!" Just then, a voice outside said...

  ……
