The moon was bright and the stars were few, and all things returned to silence.
After experiencing Ye Ming's "Thirty-Six Sets of Yin-Yang Skills," Fang Junxue, dragging her exhausted body like mud, slumped onto Ye Ming, having lost the strength to even move a finger.
It seemed that even though her cultivation had reached the Origin Heart realm, she could not face Ye Ming's stormy onslaught alone.
"I... I concede! I really can't anymore!"
At this moment, Fang Junxue, with the last of her strength, grabbed Ye Ming's hand, her voice filled with pleading and panic, lest he stir up trouble again and subject her to another round of torment.
"What? Didn't you say before that if I won, you'd be at my mercy?"
Ye Ming placed his right hand on her smooth, jade-like back, his fingers moving rhythmically, fully showcasing the elasticity of her flushed skin.
"N-next time! I'm not in good condition today. I'll compensate you next time, okay!"
Fang Junxue no longer had the strength to stop Ye Ming's other actions, so she could only reveal her girlish side, which she had never shown to outsiders. Her pitiable expression once again made Ye Ming's heart flutter.
This seemed to have the opposite effect.
"No..."
Fang Junxue bit her lip, her eyes already red.
This was too much of a bullying.
Two hours of non-stop onslaught had truly pushed her to her limit.
If it continued, someone might die.
"Fine! Fine! I won't move, alright!"
Ye Ming smiled and shook his head, no longer bothering her.
"Then... then you... you can come out now!"
Fang Junxue blushed, her eyes watery and pitiful.
"I absolutely won't move. Don't you trust me?" Ye Ming lifted her chin and directly changed the subject, "Don't you want to know how I guessed the final answer?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Junxue's attention and perception were indeed diverted. It seemed this question had always puzzled her.
"How did you confirm that the old madam wasn't my inside contact?"
Fang Junxue asked directly.
According to her original expectation, Ye Ming's final guess should have been the Bai family's old madam.
Both in terms of qualifications and status, the old madam was the best candidate for Fang Junxue's inside contact within the Bai family.
At the same time, she was someone Ye Ming knew about.
Precisely because of this, Fang Junxue had been confident that Ye Ming's final answer would be the old madam.
But who would have thought she miscalculated.
She was even tricked by Ye Ming.
"You guessed right!"
Ye Ming gave a wicked smile and said, "I don't know much about the Bai family, the person with the highest status I know of is the old madam you mentioned before." He lowered his head, meeting Fang Junxue's gaze. "However, you made a mistake that you yourself didn't realize!"
"I... a mistake?"
Fang Junxue frowned slightly, carefully recalling the process of her contest with Ye Ming. There seemed to be nothing she needed to pay attention to.
"Oh, you!"
Ye Ming lightly scraped Fang Junxue's delicate nose with his index finger, shaking his head and chuckling, "You're just too confident!"
"Too confident?"
Fang Junxue lowered her gaze, clearly pondering this sentence repeatedly.
"You mean..."
A few seconds later, she looked up again, a glimmer of light flashing in her eyes. "I was too confident in front of you, so sure that you couldn't guess the final answer, that I revealed a flaw, is that it?"
"My dear! Haven't you realized it now?"
Ye Ming smiled faintly.
"You used reverse thinking to eliminate the old madam as an answer," Fang Junxue understood everything at once. "Following that, someone with the same status as the old madam in the Bai family became your final answer."
"Hahaha! I'm telling you through this incident..." Ye Ming laughed heartily, "is that you shouldn't be too confident in front of your man, otherwise, you'll be the one suffering in the end!"
"Hmph!"
Understanding the cause and effect, Fang Junxue clenched her delicate fists and punched Ye Ming's chest, looking like a petulant, complaining woman.
"What! Not convinced?"
Ye Ming shifted his body, looking at her with a mischievous grin.
"Ah... No... No!" Fang Junxue's body stiffened, and she immediately begged for mercy. "It... it was my overconfidence! Don't... don't move again!"
At this moment, Fang Junxue was like a startled little white rabbit, Ye Ming's every move would frighten her.
"Alright! Won't move, won't move!"
Ye Ming patted her shoulder, his voice gradually deepening as he asked seriously, "Now, it's your turn to satisfy my curiosity."
"You say it!"
Seeing that Ye Ming wasn't messing around anymore, Fang Junxue finally relaxed her tense nerves.
"What I want to know is, how did you persuade your nominal grandfather to join your side?" Ye Ming narrowed his eyes and asked, "After all, your relationship with each other couldn't have been reconciled with just a few words, right?"
This was something Ye Ming had never understood.
At the same time, this sentence revealed the true identity of Fang Junxue's inside contact within the Bai family.
That's right!
That person was Bai Tai, the current old patriarch of the Bai family.
And also Fang Junxue's nominal blood-related grandfather.
"To be honest, when I guessed he was your inside contact, I couldn't believe it myself." Ye Ming sighed, gently embracing Fang Junxue with both hands, and said with great heartache, "I know that because of your mother, you've always harbored a trace of resentment towards the people of the Bai family, haven't you?"
Hearing Ye Ming's words, Fang Junxue fell silent. She reached out and pulled the quilt scattered by the bedside over them, hiding the glaring natural white light in the room in darkness.
"You're right!"
Fang Junxue changed to a comfortable position, curling up entirely in Ye Ming's arms, and said softly, "Because my mother was driven away by that scoundrel Bai, I've always hated this family."
Speaking of which, she slightly raised her head, her eyes shimmering with icy frost. "Before, I could only endure and couldn't shake that colossal entity. But now..."
She looked at her man, and although her eyes were already filled with tears, the soft light emanating from them shot directly into Ye Ming's heart. "With you here, those grudges with the Bai family don't seem so important anymore!"
Yes.
Because of your appearance, my heart is already content.
"No! You can consider it unimportant, but I can't!" Ye Ming gently wiped away her tears, his eyes filled with coldness. "Anyone who has ever hurt you, every single one of them, I will absolutely not let go."
"This is my promise to you, and it will never change, for eternity."
He, Ye Ming, would not tolerate those who had hurt his woman to escape the law he set.
And his law, Ye Ming's law, could be summed up in one sentence.
Those who offend Ye Ming!
Shall be punished!
