Arc 3 Chapter 118: Scheming Lord, Cooperate a Bit (5)
A gentle breeze rustled the towering phoenix trees in the vast sky, creating a soft rustling sound.
Luo Liyan kept tapping her foot constantly peering outside the alley.
"Little Six are you sure Weichi Che will take this route today?"
She had sneaked out by scaling the wall this time. If she didn't return before lunch it would be a big problem.
Her grandmother would never let her out without a proper reason.
Ugh being an ancient woman was truly troublesome. To leave her home, she needed to consult her family multiple times and had to be accompanied by several maids and matrons.
"He won't go to the garrison outside the city today when he leaves court. Instead, he will head directly home. This is the route he must take to return home and it's the most sparsely populated area. Just be patient he might be running late today." Number 666 reassured her.
As he spoke a black boot suddenly appeared in Luo Liyan's view and she was startled jumping back. She looked up to see a man with a handsome chilling visage.
He gave her a cool glance his thin lips forming a straight line and he seemed ready to stride past her.
"Wait!" Luo Liyan inhaled deeply attempting to get his attention. "Are you Weichi Che?"
However, the man seemed not to hear her and didn't slow down.
"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Luo Liyan reached out and grabbed his sleeve attempting to stop him.
Before she could process what happened a sharp and cold energy struck her chest, sending her flying.
"Pfft!"
Crimson blood sprayed from Luo Liyan's mouth as she was flung back.
"Little Six, didn't you say the life-preserving pill would make me feel nothing?" She grimaced, her features twisted in pain.
"Um, I meant you wouldn't feel pain when facing a life-threatening situation. Right now, it's just a common internal injury. So you can choose to use a pain-relief pill, which costs 5 Gold Beans."
"Enough with the chatter. Use it quickly. I'm dying here." Luo Liyan responded in her thoughts. She faced the man's icy disdainful gaze with an incredulous expression.
"System Prompt: Used one pain-relief pill, deducted 5 Gold Beans. Current balance: 385 Gold Beans."
"Oh, by the way buddy, I forgot to tell you that the male lead despises women especially close contact with them. He won't allow women near him, let alone touch him like you did just now. Be careful with that." Number 666 reminded her.
"You didn't tell me this earlier? I could have died!" Luo Liyan whispered in anguish.
However, before Little Six could respond a clear and deep voice echoed through the chilly alley.
"In your current state I wonder if you can bear the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital? Luo Liyan, the eldest daughter of the Yong An Marquis Mansion!"
"You... Do you know who I am? How dare you treat me like this?" Luo Liyan clutched her wounded chest laboriously rising from the ground.
"This statement should be directed from me to you, don't you think? Don't you know who I am, Weichi Che? Yet you dared to approach me so impertinently?" Weichi Che mocked her, his lips curling slightly upward.
A chilling aura washed over her making her hair stand on end.
Despite her urge to flee she had to restrain herself. Luo Liyan put on a façade of arrogance and glared at Weichi Che.

In this world, the male lead is a "cultivation-type paranoid man!"
Umm... Important matters must be said three times!
