Chapter 133: Chapter 73 Spring Breeze Pays No Heed to Yue Xilou_2

A beauty that completely outrivaled her!

Just as Gu Changsheng was about to categorize her as a female nemesis, the beauty fully exposed herself in her line of sight!

What the heck! This is a man!

Wrapped in colorful clothes, it was definitely a man’s robust body!

Who will save her shattered worldviews!

Gu Changsheng was truly kneeling!

...

A man that looks like this, how are women supposed to live? He is indeed the epitome of effeminacy among the effeminate, a fighter jet among toy planes!

The crowd was still lost in the man’s beauty, unable to snap out of it. The new arrival surveyed the ground for a moment, his delicate brows gradually furrowed more and more.

Gu Changsheng was horrified, a man as beautiful as this yet dressed so garishly, both his clothes and his looks suggested he was a freak. Such a man must have an abnormal psychology, scalpel in hand, she must not be misled by his beauty any longer. Zhou Mu’s lesson was still fresh in mind; she had to nip any trouble in the bud!

“Beauty, no need to panic, I’m just passing by,” said the man, disdainfully covering his nose and waving his hand, as if trying to dissipate the smell of blood.

“Passing by?” Gu Changsheng did not believe him. Out of all the roads in the world, why did he end up passing through her courtyard?

“Also collecting corpses.”

“Collecting corpses?” People responsible for collecting corpses made such a flashy entrance? And they looked this devastatingly beautiful? She’d believe that when pigs fly! “Do you think I’m a three-year-old easily fooled? Flower Peacock, who exactly are you?”

“Flower Peacock?” The newcomer frowned again.

“Yeah, beautiful and dressed like a peacock in full plumage. Isn’t that just a Flower Peacock!” Gu Changsheng watched the monster in front of her warily. She didn’t understand how he dared to go out dressed so oddly. Wasn’t he afraid of drawing a crowd?

“Haha…” The person laughed, clearly speaking, “They all call me… Yue… Xilou.”

As soon as Yue Xilou’s voice fell, Han Qiu and Ning Er immediately sprang into action, rushing in front of Gu Changsheng, as nervous as two mother hens protecting their chicks.

“Spring Breeze ignores Xilou. Madam, hurry!”

“Huh?” Gu Changsheng was also startled by their nervousness. What’s this about Spring Breeze ignoring or not ignoring? “Hell, you’re not running a brothel, are you?”

She remembered that in the modern capital there was a famous club called Spring Breeze At A Glance! It was a true den of iniquity, a gold-digger’s paradise!

“Beauty truly has a heart as fragrant as orchids, and you guessed right. You folks needn’t panic. Xilou kills, but never strikes the same place twice.” Yue Xilou waved his colorful long sleeve that swept the ground, an exasperated look appearing on his stunningly beautiful face, “To ensure this assignment failed, I sent all the runts from my brothel. My repertoire at Xilou of never missing a kill has been broken.”

Gu Changsheng tugged at the two anxiously prepared people before her, now quite certain Yue Xilou harbored no malicious intent.

“So, these are the people you sent?” Gu Changsheng pointed at the assassins lying scattered on the ground and asked.

“Yep, I earn a little extra by taking others’ money and lives. Aside from running a brothel, that’s how Xilou makes a dime.” Yue Xilou’s eyes and smile were radiant.

Gu Changsheng was also exasperated, returning a helpless smile, her voice tinged with helplessness, “Alright, your way of making extra money really is unique. I know you wouldn’t tell me who paid for my life, but can you tell me how much silver they spent?”

“A thousand taels,” Yue Xilou replied frankly.

“Are you sure?” Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitched.

“Sure!”

“Damn it, am I only worth that much? Don’t you check the ongoing rates when you take jobs?” Gu Changsheng was frustrated. She was quite wealthy, after all. How could a contract to kill her only cost a thousand taels? That didn’t make any sense!

Yue Xilou was taken aback and started laughing, “Beauty, you’re quite amusing.”

“Don’t call me beauty. Being called a beauty by a man several times more beautiful than me, there’s nothing more ironic than that!” Gu Changsheng waved her hand and pointed to the ground, “Weren’t you here to collect bodies? Hurry up, take them and go back where you came from. Don’t loiter in front of me, making me wish I could tear off your face and stick it on mine.”

“Madam, that would be split‑face then,” Dong Lei seized the opportunity to jibe back at his wife.

“Damn! If I could be as beautiful as him that people cry out against it, I’d willingly be split‑face. Do you have a problem with that?”

They really didn’t dare to object. Madam was too fierce!

Moreover, this Yue Xilou was, indeed, stunningly beautiful, a man…

“Go deal with them.” Yue Xilou gestured to his two beautiful subordinates.

The two beauties bowed and took two porcelain vials from their robes, pouring the contents onto the people on the ground.

Gu Changsheng quickly covered her son’s eyes. The scene was too cruel; she didn’t want to scare her son.

Powerful corrosive drugs. In an era when medical science was lacking, poisons were plentiful.

In the blink of an eye, except for the lingering bloodstains, not even a single bone remained on the ground.

Xiao Cui and the others were clearly terrified by the sight and stepped back in panic, covering their mouths.

“Alright, that’s done. Now girl, tell me, what’s your relationship with the one who killed them?” Yue Xilou tucked his clothes and bent down to pick up an arrowhead from the ground, “Bone‑Piercing Arrow, it hasn’t been seen in the Itinerant World for over twenty years.”

“Um…” Gu Changsheng looked at his enigmatically beautiful face and said with difficulty, “If I said the person was just passing by and helped before leaving, would you believe it?”

“Would you believe it?” Yue Xilou said with a chuckle, looking at the woman before him.

“No,” Gu Changsheng shook her head dejectedly, “If it were me, I wouldn’t believe it either.”

“So what’s your explanation?” Yue Xilou leisurely awaited Gu Changsheng’s response.

“Considering I can’t beat you, and violence won’t solve this, I choose to surrender. The person was already Peach Yaoyao before you arrived, over there,” Gu Changsheng kindly pointed him in a direction. Since those two elders could abandon her and run, and he was indeed the person they talked about, Yue Xilou was definitely not going to hurt her; her logic was solid, right?
