Chapter 976
They came from Luo City but they were now going back .
They met some people from the pugilist world along the way but no one would have expected the Alliance Master Mansion to be hiding the Demonic Sect’s leader .
Th sect leader recovered from his injury quickly . After two days, he was able to get up and walk around .
“Alliance Master… why are we bringing him along?” Rong Li sat beside Ming Shu and glanced at the other side of the horse carriage .
“He gave me money . ”
“Are you afraid of him?” Ming Shu smiled at him .
Who will be afraid of him?
“No… I am just worried that his status will cause trouble for us . ”
“Oh . ”
Rong Li looked at Ming Shu . Then, he turned and looked at the sect leader .
He grabbed Ming Shu’s sleeves lightly . “Alliance Master, I… I have something to tell you . Can you come out with me?”
The others were already some distance away from them, but since her little demon requested it, Ming Shu followed him .
They only stopped when they couldn’t see the others anymore . Ming Shu leaned against the tree .
“What’s the matter?”
Rong Li grabbed his hands . He didn’t speak for a long time .
He seemed to have made a decision during this time . He said softly, “Alliance Master, can you promise me that you won’t be angry?”
“Did you hang out with other women behind my back?” Ming Shu raised her voice .
“No . ” Rong Li waved his hands . “I only love you . ”
Daily confession .
“Oh, what is the matter then?”
“You… can you promise me that you won’t be angry…” Rong Li fully portrayed fear with his body and expression .
“Tell me what it is first . ”
“Promise me that you won’t be angry and I will tell you . ”
“Say it first . ”
“Promise me…”
“Are you going to tell me? If you are not, I will leave . ” Ming Shu pretended that she was going to leave .
Rong Li grabbed her . It was dark so he tripped while grabbing her and pushed Ming Shu against the tree .
Ming Shu grabbed his waist to prevent him from falling down .
“I will tell you . Don’t leave . ”
“Fine . Please tell me then . ”
“Actually…” Rong Li raised his head and looked at Ming Shu . He grabbed her hand . Then, he closed his eyes and said quickly, “I am from the royal family . ”
“I know . ”
Rong Li was shocked . “How… did you…”
“I saw your jade . ” Ming Shu didn’t understand why people liked to wear things that could prove their identity on them . Most of the time, it was a jade pendant .
Rong Li touched the hard object around his waist . He opened his mouth but no words came out .
He looked at Ming Shu and noticed that she was not angry . He hugged her and explained, “I had a mission to enter the Alliance Master Mansion…”
Rong Li told Ming Shu everything that he knew .
He didn’t dare tell Ming Shu before this because he was afraid that his wife would beat him to death or chase him away .
If she kicked him away, he wouldn’t know where to look for her again .
But now…
Even if he got beaten, he would not be chased away .
[Lord Nine, are you not planning to do your task?] the system said softly .
Rong Li was hugging Ming Shu as he replied blatantly in his heart, I am doing my task .
[I meant the other task . ] You are supposed to destroy the Demonic Sect and reign over the pugilist world!

All this is not as important as my wife . Shut up .
[…] I must lodged a complaint when I go back .
The emperor in this era was a useless one . There were rumors that people from the pugilist world wanted to overthrow the emperor .
Hence, the emperor decided to act first . He wanted to recruit the heroes of the pugilist world .
However, people from the pugilist world were not willing to serve the imperial court .
That was why this scheme came about .
The plan was to make the pugilist world and the Demonic Sect battle it out while the imperial court reaped the benefits .
Rong Li’s mission was to get first-hand information and sow discord between the pugilist world and the Demonic Sect .
In the original storyline, Rong Li was not the one that came . However, since his wife was here, he had to come .
During that time, the Alliance Master Mansion was looking for chefs so he managed to enter the Alliance Master Mansion .
In the storyline, the Demonic Sect was framed . The fake female protagonist helped to proved the innocence of the Demonic Sect, but the process took a long time .
Ming Shu asked her people to spread the news about the divine sword so the imperial court made use of it and sped up their plans .
That was why the situation was like this now .
“Are you not afraid of getting into trouble once you tell me the truth?”
Rong Li placed his head on her shoulder . “Alliance Master… you will protect me . I don’t want to lie to you . I feel hurt when I lie to you . ”
“You are…”
Ming Shu looked up slightly . Her back was against the rough bark of the tree . One of her hands was on Rong Li’s waist while the other was on his neck .
Rong Li kissed her neck like a puppy .
“Alliance Master…”
Rong Li called her in a low voice .
Ming Shu grabbed his neck and made to pull him away . However, she stopped when she heard what he said .
“You are the most important person to me . ”

No matter where you are .
No matter who you are and what you look like .
I don’t care if you remember me .
You will always be the most important person to me . I will only love you .
Ming Shu released her grip and allowed Rong Li to continue kissing her neck .
“Alliance Master, are you angry?”
Rong Li looked up carefully after a while .
“I will ask Steamed Bun how much it costs to hire an assassin later . ” Ming Shu pushed him away and wiped the saliva off her neck . Is he a dog?
Rong Li was dumbfounded . “Alliance Master… you said that you will not be angry . ”
“I didn’t . ”
“I—I told you everything . ”
“You were planning to use me . ”
“I… didn’t… do anything at all . I swear that I didn’t do anything that would harm you . If I lie to you, I will get struck by lightning…”
Rumble—
A flash of lightning split the sky in two . It lit up Rong Li’s face . His face was pale .
Ming Shu smiled .
“… and die a terrible death,” he finished weakly .
F**k, is heaven trying to make fun of me?
Why must lightning strike at such a time?
Are you crazy?
Rumble—
Thunder started sounding again .

Hualalala—
Rain fell heavily from the sky . Ming Shu and Rong Li were drenched in an instant .
Rong Li looked down . He was wondering whether Ming Shu was angry or not . If she was, he had to placate her .
The rain falling on him suddenly got thinner . Rong Li looked up . Ming Shu was raising a huge piece of leaf above his head .
“Why are you looking at me . Take it . ”
Rong Li took the leaf in a daze . It was big enough to cover his entire body .
Ming Shu stepped onto the grass and walked back .
Hualala—
Rong Li followed Ming Shu in a flurry . He placed the leaf above Ming Shu’s head .
“Are you an idiot?”
“No…” Rong Li’s voice was almost drowned out by the sound of the rain .
Ming Shu: “…”
She reached over and pulled him closer . The two of them walked under the leaf together . Although they were still getting splattered by the rain, their heads were dry .
“Are you still angry?”
“What do you think?”
“Will you chase me away?”
“If you speak any more, I will leave you here . ”
No more voices could be heard . There was only the sound of rain .
“Alliance Master, I like you . ”
Hualala—
Ming Shu looked at the faint lights ahead and replied inaudibly, “… I see . ”
