Chapter 7: 7

After listening to me, he calmed down, let go of me and stood there thinking. I could almost see the shadows of myriad ideas and thoughts passing through his eyes.

A series of rapid thoughts went through my brain: Will he trust me? Does such kind of magical stuff even exist? However, I used Zhang Qinglian's mouth to say it. With Zhang Qinglian's power and influence, coupled with his consistent vicious attitude, no one dared to reject it.

But, he may comply on the surface and wait for his martial arts to restore before killing me? No, I already handed the matter of my life and death to him, he should not take the risk for such a small time difference! It seems that he will most likely agree. Alas, was three years too short? I should have said five years. However, while conducting negotiations, if the price tag was too high, customers may forego discussions altogether. Ahem, anyways, according to my plan you will be constantly with me for three whole years, I refuse to believe you that won't change!

…But what if this kid is obstinate about revenge, will he kill me in five years?…

Well, then I'll just…I'm just going to do it. Yao Jinzi raised his head and several wisps of black hair hung down to the side of his jade like face. He rubbed his straight nose, the pupils of his eyes brightening, making them look more beautiful. He bit his lips lightly, followed by the lower lip shrinking into a thin, lovely shape, and then, resolutely said, "Okay, I promise you." Although it was the expected answer, I could not help but smile. I finally had my first ally in this time and space. Though there was deep seated hatred and, my ally always thinks of killing me, I was able to keep my secret hidden. After all, it's nothing that can be shared. Forget it, it's my destiny that this beautiful boy has a special relationship with me, and also shared "euphoric activities in bed" with me! If, three years later, I discovered that you lied to me, I swear I will make you pay no matter what method you use or what you want to do. - It's more than just a simple three-days-and-three-night journey. [C/N: I have no idea what this means]

Who cares about dying?! Who cares about cold attitude?! Who cares about malicious and cruel words?! I laughed and grabbed his hand and shook it up and down and joyfully teased him, "Darling, don't worry, I won't go back on my words!" ( *sweats* that sounded more like a solemn pledge of love). Perhaps my smile is so bright that he looks a bit dazzled by the light. Awkwardly striving to get away from me, disgusted and irritated he spoke: "What made you so happy! -You are really weird today!" Those words immediately froze the smile on my face, Yes, I was a bit smug by my success, the current situation is very dangerous, it is quite easy to offend people! Just as I was thinking, Someone people came rushing though the door, from the looks of it, jumping in front was Xiao Lu, behind him was Hong Feng.

"Hong Feng, you came at right time. Where did I put the key of the thousand god spider chain?" [C/N: probably the chain that binds YJ's body?]

"Daren, aren't Tian Chunhe and Zhu Xianxi keeping it in rotation?" Tian chun? Zhu Xianxi? Who are they? What strange names! [C/N: Slender zhu and (probably) fatty tian. Either way they are funny names] "Oh, then Xiao Lu you go call them."

After waiting a while for Xiao Lu to bring them, Beads of cold sweat ran down my skin: I was already acquainted with these two people, in fact, I had just seen them this morning! Tian Chun is that fat person, and Zhu Xianxi naturally is the thin dwarf. This … Was quite humorous indeed!

They came forward to pay their respects. I commanded,"Hand over they key that ties the Thousand god spider chain locks". They looked startled, glanced at each other and then "WHOOSH", four knees simultaneously hit the ground. Zhu Xianxi said, "Daren, definitely should not!" Tian Chun said, "Daren think twice!"

I am a little disgruntled, it appears that these two are accomplices for my atrocities, and although their behaviour is honest, they are not afraid of joking with someone who has such a high standing in front of the emperor!

"Daren, Yao Jinzi has always been scheming, two years ago in order to catch this fugitive, we had to use all our strength, and despite that, how many of our brothers died!"

"Daren only sees the tiger in its most vulnerable state when it is caged and pities it. Once it escapes, this one only fears that it would be hard for our brothers to completely ensure Daren's safety".

"Daren, Yao Jinzi must be playing tricks again! Does Daren remember how after we caught him, he pretended to be tame, currying Daren's favor, waited for more than one year, until everyone let down their guards , and when the opportunity arose, he tried to assassinate Daren? This time he is definitely hatching a plot…"

"Hey, was there a time like that? It seems that Yao Jinzi's brains are not disappointing! Though I am obviously quite surprised, I cant let it show on the surface. Even after this fellow was defeated, he did not quietly live in fear it seems. So, with Zhang Qinglian's character, how could he easily let him off? My face sank as I said: "What need is there for so many words? I have my own plans!"

The two men were helpless, and they looked at each other again. Zhu Xianxi pulled out a silver key from his bosom.A small key shaped like a live spider was handed to me. I took they key and walked towards Yao Jinzi. The atmosphere suddenly became repressive and heavy. Many of my men appeared to be very nervous, including Hong Feng who was quite tensed. His brilliant eyes were fixed at the key in my hand, but did not take any action. Well, it's a good sign. I pulled him into the chair and searched for the keyhole. I approached his collar, inserted the key into the keyhole, gently twisted my hand, and unlocked it. At this very moment, all creatures in the room held their breaths. Yao Jinzi's hand that grasped the chair slightly tightened. Even I was a bit anxious. Using my hands to pull out the chain from his shoulder blades felt like I was performing a surgery. However, my present status is a cruel and merciless man, and wouldn't it be a bit strange to leave everyone hanging now? I hold one end of the chain in my grip, lower my head, close my eyes and take a deep breath. I quickly and forcefully pull out my hand. I know that the sooner the chain is pulled out, the less his pain will be…And the chain was pulled out completely! Blood began to gush out and began to dye his white clothes. I felt dizzy from that ghastly sight and quickly tried to run outside, But, Yao Jinzi gave me a gentle shove and, as fast as the wind, sealed several acupuncture points near the wound to stop the blood and remove the collar from his neck. As soon as he got out of danger, it appeared to me that he suddenly got taller and his whole person felt different. My heart is full of contradictory feelings. It is like a wildlife rehabilitator who rescued a wounded beast and put it back in the wild. It is a comfortable feeling with a sense of accomplishment, but there is also anxiety about it biting back. This matter will probably not work in my favor.

Forget it, it's too late for regrets anyways. I will just follow my usual behaviour and adapt to the circumstances. Yao Jinzi glanced at my nervous subordinates with an arrogant attitude.

"Tell them to leave, I need to control my breathing rate"-he demanded in a cold voice. "You people go out first" "But daren…" said Hong feng. The fat and thin duo also complained, only Xiao Lu's eyes curiously observed everything.

“Get out!” I put on cold face and they reluctantly withdrew. Turning my head, I saw him sitting cross-legged to control his breathing. He looked serene and ethereal, like the white fog in a winter morning.[C/N: This part is not clear so i stretched a bit- 也没见有什么白烟白雾之类的东东冒出来]

A wide assortment of things happened since I woke up this morning. I was finally able to relax a bit. This guy’s wounds looked quite appaling, I would like to wipe them clean, but I restrained myself so as not to provoke the devil. I am not the heroine of a novel, who keeps courting disaster and having the protagonist clean up her messes over and over.

After a quick bout of self-pity, I decided to do a 15 minute yoga session. Zhang Qianlian’s vitality is lacking due to over-indulging in debauchery and so, I must exercise diligently and try to stay healthy.

As I finished the movements, the guy continued his breathing exercises. I began to meditate and started focusing. this was one of my favourite yoga contents. It makes me mentally alert, clears my head and physically rested. Unfortunately because of my job, it was impossible to do it daily.

I opened my eyes after both my outside body and internal organs felt rejuvenated. My mind went blank, as a magnified view of a face appeared in my sight, observing me at a close range. When he saw my eyes fluttering open, he drew back and faintly enquired, “What are you doing?”

“Oh that is yoga meditation.” I hurriedly adopted a normal posture, rejoicing in my heart that he has not seen my silly yoga moves. Perhaps he would have thought that I was having convulsions! “Oh” he faintly said, probably without understanding anything. “Right, your injuries…”, I didn’t manage to finish my words when his fingers pressed on my wrist. Oh No! Did I really lose the bet? [C/N: she thinks he will kill her]

He sent a probing thermal energy along my arm, tested my pulse and then quickly drew it back. “How infuriating”, he said, lightly,”there is a little difficulty but I have not move around this much for 12 weeks. Your way of exercising is really unique. I don’t understand it. I should analyze it.” Think what you will…

I look at him. My beautiful boy is really different after getting out of his predicament. I have not been able to grasp his thoughts, probably because my heart was not confident enough. A knock resounded on the door and Xiao Lu came in. “Daren, Hong Feng asked me to invite you for lunch.”

Lunch? Its already late afternoon. Is it like the European post-Renaissance practices, where the civilians ate lunch at 11, merchants at 12, rural aristocrats at 1, counts at 2, marquis at 2:30… Is it like, higher the status, later is the lunch eaten?

Speaking of it, it was the first time I was going to eat since arriving at this space-time! really hungry!
