Chapter 399 This young lady has no comment.
Hearing her two husbands arguing again, Qiu Ziyue frowned and said angrily:
"Stop arguing, I'm not dead yet!"
Her voice carried a hint of weariness and helplessness.
Upon hearing this, the two immediately fell silent, but a tense atmosphere still lingered between them.
Qiu Ziyue sighed inwardly:
Both of them are exceptional men with extremely high self-esteem. They are both my children, so I can't let them feel resentful for too long.
To balance their relationship, she decided to sleep alone at night.
Hopefully, this will make both of them feel more comfortable.
At night, Qiu Ziyue made a pistol for Qi Yuxuan to use for self-defense, following the blueprints.
Meanwhile, Li Cunxu, feeling aggrieved, summoned two courtesans to drink and watch a performance.
His appearance as he drowned his sorrows in alcohol made him look particularly forlorn.
After noticing Li Cunxu's mood, Qiu Ziyue quietly went to his room and sent all the singers away.
She sat down beside Li Cunxu and said softly:
“Cunxu, don’t be like this. You are a dignified Prince of Jin. You can’t be so negative and decadent.”
Li Cunxu raised his head, his eyes filled with bitterness, and asked in a low voice:
"I am a Prince of Jin, and also a man. Is it right or wrong for me to fall in love with you?"
Qiu Ziyue sighed softly and said gently:
"I will try my best to satisfy you in everything, but I can only have one husband."
These words enraged Li Cunxu even more. He abruptly stood up and said coldly:
"I'm not a monk, I have needs too!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Cunxu stood up and hugged Qiu Ziyue tightly, pressing his lips heavily against hers.
Qiu Ziyue wanted to push Li Cunxu away, but she felt dizzy and hesitated.
After kissing for a moment, Li Cunxu whispered:
"I don't believe you haven't felt a single bit of attraction towards me?"
His voice carried a hint of stubbornness and longing, as if he wanted to get a positive answer from Qiu Ziyue.
Qiu Ziyue was stunned by this scene, and a complex mix of emotions welled up inside her.
It expresses both pity for Li Cunxu and helplessness in the face of the current situation.
Looking into Qiu Ziyue's willow-leaf eyes, Li Cunxu felt a mixture of intoxication and helplessness, and unconsciously kissed her again.
Qiu Ziyue felt sorry for Li Cunxu; she didn't know why she had gotten caught up in the vortex between these two men.
Coming from modern society, she is traditional and conservative at heart, yet reality leaves her feeling helpless.
Both men were exceptionally talented and deeply in love with her.
She is also an ordinary person, who grew up amidst the everyday realities of life.
She loved Qi Yuxuan, but as time went by, Li Cunxu's intelligence, decisiveness, gentleness, and infatuation became apparent.
This also gradually stirred up waves in her heart.
"Is there really no such thing as pure friendship between men and women in the world?"
Qiu Ziyue was captivated by Li Cunxu's domineering kiss, but a sense of guilt rose in her heart. She felt sorry for Qi Yuxuan.
But she didn't have the courage to push Li Cunxu away.
Li Cunxu had his arm around Qiu Ziyue, and he still smelled slightly of alcohol.
After a moment, he began to untie Qiu Ziyue's skirt.
In the darkness, soft breathing could be heard. Li Cunxu wrapped his arms around Qiu Ziyue and carried her to the bedside.
"Twilight Sparkle, I can't live without you."
Li Cunxu murmured, pulled back the curtain, and then embraced Qiu Ziyue with a passionate kiss.
Qiu Ziyue wrapped her arms around Li Cunxu's neck and began to interact with him, and the two began to take off their clothes one by one.
Just as the two were about to become husband and wife, a sudden exclamation came from outside the house.
"It's terrible! Zhu Wen has led his troops to besiege the inn!"
Li Cunxu and Qiu Ziyue immediately stood up. Qiu Ziyue quickly tidied herself up, put on her clothes, and went out of the house.
Li Cunxu made some quick adjustments and followed closely behind.
Qiu Ziyue, Qi Yuxuan, and the others arrived outside the inn and saw that the barrier set up by Qiu Ziyue was in effect.
Zhu Wen, Tao Akun, and the princes and princesses of the Khitan rode on horseback, leading a group carrying torches to surround the inn.
Beside them stood the singing girls that Li Cunxu had previously recruited.
It seems that these courtesans were indeed spies planted by Zhu Wen.
Qi Yuxuan and the others glared angrily at Li Cunxu.
Qi Yuxuan's handsome face turned somewhat ashen. He abandoned his airs as a chief physician and said to Li Cunxu:
"This is the result of your actions. Did you wish to kill us all?"
Li Cunxu's face flushed slightly: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to turn out like this."
Seeing that the situation had become like this, Qi Yuxuan glanced at Qiu Ziyue:
"My wife, it seems we are in for another fierce battle today."
Qiu Ziyue nodded.
At this moment, Tao Akun and Yelü Zhigu were busy trying to remove the barrier, but they did not seem to have succeeded.
Zhu Wen sneered and said:
"Qiu Ziyue, you didn't expect this, did you? We still managed to find you."
Qiu Ziyue responded without fear:
"So what if you found it? Come in if you dare!"
Her tone was firm and confident, as if she had no fear of the huge group in front of her.
At this moment, Yelü Bei slowly dismounted, his eyes fixed intently on Qiu Ziyue, and said:
"You must be Miss Qiu. You are truly as beautiful as an angel and have an extraordinary temperament."
Seeing that Yelü Bei was dressed in Khitan attire yet possessed refined manners and extraordinary speech, Qiu Ziyue couldn't help but secretly admire him.
She smiled slightly and asked:
"You speak with far more refinement than they do. May I ask who you are?"
Yelü Bei bowed and said:
"I am Yelü Bei, the eldest son of Yelü Abaoji. It is truly an honor to meet Miss Qiu today."
Upon hearing this name, Qiu Ziyue immediately recalled the information about Yelü Bei that she had seen on her modern mobile phone:
A man of exceptional talent, fond of Central Plains culture, yet his mother favored his second son, Yelü Deguang.
It is truly regrettable that he was not given important responsibilities and eventually died at the age of 38!
Looking at the refined Khitan prince before her, Qiu Ziyue couldn't help but feel a sense of respect.
She sighed softly and said:
"Prince Yelü, you are a gentleman, it is quite abrupt of us to meet today."
Unfortunately, we're on different sides; we can only become political enemies, swords drawn against each other.
Her voice carried a hint of regret, yet remained calm and resolute.
Upon hearing this, Yelü Bei's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was somewhat moved by Qiu Ziyue's words.
He pondered for a moment and said:
“Miss Qiu is right. In that case, I am willing to observe the situation further. Perhaps there will be a chance to turn hostility into friendship in the future.”
His tone was calm, yet it conveyed an undeniable firmness.
However, Zhu Wen was clearly impatient with this conversation, and he urged loudly:
"Stop wasting your breath here, break through the barrier and capture Qiu Ziyue!"
The atmosphere on the field immediately became tense again.
Tao Akun and Yelü Zhigu joined forces to try to break the barrier, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not succeed.
Seeing that his methods were ineffective, Tao Akun flew into a rage and shouted at Qiu Ziyue:
"Qiu Ziyue, what methods did you use? Tell me now!"
Qiu Ziyue chuckled lightly, her tone tinged with a hint of teasing:
"Tao Akun, either you call me master a few times, or maybe I can teach you a move or two."
But given your attitude, I'm afraid I have no comment.
Tao Akun's face turned ashen with anger at Qiu Ziyue's words. He gritted his teeth and said:
"I have cultivated in Qinglong Mountain for more than ten years, and I have never seen such skill as yours!"
I've racked my brains trying to unravel the spell on the jade flute, but I can't. Heavens, why is this happening?
After hearing this, Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly:
"Hey, old Tao, you're ridiculous. There's something I want to tell you. Do you want to hear it?"
Upon hearing this, Tao Akun's eyes lit up:
"You've finally figured it out. Tell me how to break this, and I'll let you go."
Qiu Ziyue shook her head:
"What I want to say is, Senior Tao, you've lived half your life and still haven't figured out that what's yours is yours."
What isn't yours, you can't force. Why are you asking Heaven? Heaven owes you nothing.
Her words revealed a transcendent wisdom, as if she had seen through all the causes and conditions and opportunities in the world.
Tao Akun became even angrier after hearing Qiu Ziyue's words.
Yelü Zhigu, meanwhile, frowned and pondered, clearly racking his brains for a way to break the barrier.
At this moment, a night breeze swept by, causing the torchlight to flicker, and the whole scene was filled with a tense yet mysterious atmosphere.
Qiu Ziyue looked around, secretly on guard, knowing that this standoff would not end easily.
To be continued in the next chapter!
