Chapter 99 - "Red Dance Asura"
"Young master Nangong, I am the most skilled woman at Guqing here at Four Oceans Teahouse," said the woman in the white dress.
Nangong Ba let out a pink breath of air. After he noticed that woman in white's eyes look entranced, he coldly asked, "Who are you?"
"I am the Sixth Young Miss of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites – Li Xiangling," obediently answered the woman in white.
Liu Rushuang already knew that this woman wasn't good at playing the Guqin, but she never figured that she was the Sixth Young Miss! It looks like there really were many women going after Nangong Ba! It's better if she distances herself from attractive people.
Nangong Ba looked over at the sullen look on Liu Rushuang's face, then coldly turned to Li Xiangling. "Get lost!" He exclaimed.
In a mesmerized state, Li Xiangling turned around and walked off.
Then, Nangong Ba sat beside Liu Rushuang and kindly asked, "Sweetheart, are you jealous?"
Liu Rushuang silently twitched her lips. Jealous?
"No," she replied lifelessly.
Nangong Ba's face turned glum. He verified that his sweetheart really didn't like him. At the same time, he decided that he must think up a different way to get his sweetheart to fall for him.
...
In the imperial palace, Han Moze was reading in Dark Moon Palace.
Lian Jiuhua walked over to Han Moze's side and laughed. "Your majesty, don't you know that you're holding your book upside down?"
Han Moze lowered his gaze and looked at the book to find that the words were the right way up. "How's it upside down?" He asked with a chilling voice.
Lian Jiuhua shook his head and smiled. Who would have thought there would ever be a time when Han Moze missed another person...
Han Moze grunted, then put his book down. Recently, he has in fact been acting a little differently. His thoughts would unintentionally wander over to that woman.
"The Fifth Princess of Donghua arrived at the Capital today. It looks like there'll be another woman in your majesty's harem," said Lian Jiuhua.

Han Moze smiled flatly and replied with determination, "I've decided to never appoint another imperial concubine."
Lian Jiuhua's eyes suddenly shot wide open. "Your majesty has opened my eyes to see the true meaning of devotion," he sighed, then continued by saying, "I hear the Fifth Princess of Donghua looks like a celestial! Will your majesty really not marry her?"
"I won't," rejected Han Moze without hesitation.
Lian Jiuhua sighed several more times, and grew even more curious about what kind of woman would make Han Moze so unwaveringly devoted. "I also heard that the richest merchant of Beiming has also arrived. He brought his own cousin along. Will your majesty also not marry her?" He continued to ask.
"I won't," rejected Han Moze once again with determination.
Lian Jiuhua knew Han Moze was already deep in the web of love. If he was to ever meet that woman of his desires, he would definitely clutch tightly on to her and not let go.
"Have you found anything about the Minister Liu's Third Young Miss?" Asked Han Moze in a dull voice.
"According to investigators, the clan leader of Blood Feast is a woman. Everyone else in the clan are men. Their clan leader is called 'Red Dance Asura' and her martial art skills are extremely powerful, as she can release a special kind of inner breath."
A dark wave rushed in and filled Han Moze's pupils.
So as it turns out, you're the clan leader of Blood Feast! Minister Liu's Third Young Miss!
No matter if you're the clan leader of Blood Feast or a celestial, I want you to be mine!
...
Liu Rushuang stopped playing the Guqin after almost half an hour, then she got up and walked over to Nangong Ba. "Let's head back," she said coldly.
"Alright," replied Nangong Ba with a gentle smile.
When Nangong Ba reached the ground floor, he nonchalantly ordered his own men, "Change the manager."
Then, without waiting for a response, he walked out. It looked like Nangong Ba had secret subordinates who were always stationed to protect him.
When the manager of the Four Oceans Teahouse heard Nangong Ba's simple and direct orders, his face instantly turned pale-white. If he had known this would happen, then he wouldn't have accepted the Sixth Young Miss' one thousand taels. Ah, he really regretted it!

Chapter 100 - "Royal Banquet the Day Before Yesterday"
Outside, Liu Rushuang walked straight ahead and entered the palanquin from the side.
Nangong Ba stepped inside with a loving smile on his face and said, "Sweetheart, in the future, if there's anywhere you would like to go with me, just say it and I'll definitely take you there."
Liu Rushuang felt a little uncomfortable with her bound hands and grunted flatly in silence.
Slap her once, then give her a sweet? Hell no was she going to just accept that!
...
In the late afternoon, when Liu Rushuang and Nangong Ba were dining...
Two men in blue suddenly walked in with a very pretty girl in shackles.
This woman wore a dark pink shawl over her shoulders and a long pink dress with peonies that wrapped around her breasts and tightened around her waist. Her hair was partly tied up into two buns on either side of her head with long flowing ink-black hair down to her waist, and light pink pear blossom hairpins with tassels and sapphires. Her face was round like a goose egg and she had flirtatious eyes of a fairy. She had a tall nose bridge and soft red lips. She looked prettier than those maids dressed in red.
"Milord, I have captured Miss. Lin," reported the man in blue.
Nangong Ba waved his hand, then his men in blue left, leaving Lin Yimei behind.
Lin Yimei struggled out of the man in blue's grip, then glared at Liu Rushuang and Qing'Er in anger. "Cousin, why are those two whores dining with you?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Rushuang hurled a palm at Lin Yimei with a hint of ferocity in her eyes.
All of a sudden, Lin Yimei fell back and onto the floor, then cough up blood. At the same time, Liu Rushuang furiously gritted his teeth in hatred as she cried, "I won't let you off for that!"
"Enough, cousin. Go and get some rest. Attend the banquet with me tomorrow," Nangong Ba said with a chilling voice.
Lin Yimei forcefully shook her head and rejected his offer. "Cousin, you know that I've always loved you. I won't marry that Emperor."
"Cousin, these are your father's wishes. You should follow them," said Nangong Ba with furrowed brows.
"No, I won't listen to my father. I know that my father never treated you well, but I didn't! Cousin, won't you please marry me?" Lin Yimei said, flustered with pleading eyes.
Nangong Ba felt a little impatient and cried, "Men, take the young miss outside and watch that she doesn't run away."
"Yes," replied two men in blue, as they proceeded to take Lin Yimei outside.
Lin Yimei wanted to retaliate but she was injured, so she glared viciously at Liu Rushuang again. That wench actually dared hurt her?
Nangong Ba shook his head helplessly, then flatly said, "Yimei is my second uncle's daughter. My second uncle asked to present Yimei to the Emperor of Beiming tomorrow at the royal banquet."
Liu Rushuang's eyes lit up when she heard about the royal banquet. It just so happens that she had to speak with Han Moze, so she flatly replied, "I want to go to tomorrow's royal banquet too."
Nangong Ba nodded and replied with an "alright."
He wanted to find a way to get whatever Shuang'Er love. He must capture Shuang'Er's heart!
Liu Rushuang glanced emotionlessly at Nangong Ba's affectionate eyes and felt a strange sensation in her heart.
"I want to see my maid and my men," she continued to request.
"Alright, is there anything else you want to do?" Nangong Ba agreed without hesitation.
"Nope," Liu Rushuang said flatly.
...
After Liu Rushuang finished her meal, she went into a room to find that Qing'Er, Mo Ye and the others bound by their hands and feet with gold silk.
The assassins saw Liu Rushuang and immediately kneeled. "Greetings milady!"
"Rise," Liu Rushuang said flatly.
"Yes, milady."
"Young Miss, are you alright?" asked Qing'Er worriedly, as she shifted her body.

8 95Kathy With A K's Song
"Oh my darling, when you smile, it is like a song"-"Obviously," She started. There was a nervous shake in her voice that made me tilt my head in her hands. "Obviously you don't understand the agreement." She repeated after quickly composing herself. I rolled my eyes, but let her continue."Where you go, I go. Where I go, you go." She told me sternly. Her thumbs grazed my cheeks and heat rose on my skin where she touched. I couldn't tell if this was just Sophia being caring or if she was maybe feeling more. My brain told me that this was all a friendly gesture, but my body and it's stupid hormones were telling me that it was something more. And your brain can never really overcome true instincts. I moved closer towards her, shrinking the already limited space between us. This time it was Sophia's turn to blush which only made my smile grow larger. All I could think about was her lips meeting mine.(a new and improved skmw xx)
