Chapter 476, Reverse Version of Immortal Jump
One hour later.
It was early morning, and the outside world was cloaked in darkness.
Inside the tavern room, candlelight flickered dimly. Young Master Sang lay completely naked on the bed, covered by only a thin blanket over his key parts.
Next to him, Bai Ming, also stark naked, had buried her face in her hands.
…It’s over.
She still couldn’t resist it.
Had a grand old time.
What now?! The sky would be bright soon.
If Little Ying finds out that she slept with her man on the night before her wedding…
Bai Ming couldn’t help but shudder.
Calming down, she started to comfort herself.
…Don’t panic.
Tonight’s events were known only to heaven and earth.
As long as she cleaned up the battlefield and erased any traces of her crime, no one would find out.
If she could deliver Young Master Sang to the wedding scene intact by dawn, it would be as if nothing ever happened tonight.
Young Master Sang just went out for a drink with the boys.
Yep. Just like that.
Once she had calmed her emotions, Bai Ming struggled to gather Young Master Sang’s clothes, hurriedly trying to dress him.
“…Ugh, why is it tougher to dress a man than a woman? If only the commerce association sold T-shirts in this world…”
What Bai Ming didn’t know was that while she was busy dressing Young Master Sang, the window in the room had somehow opened.
Long Huan sat on the windowsill, quietly watching Bai Ming scuttle about.
It wasn’t until Bai Ming had almost finished dressing Young Master Sang and sighed in relief, ready to get up, that Long Huan’s voice rang out:
“Well.”
“Have you cleaned up the crime scene?”
“Is the next step to destroy the evidence?”
At that moment, Bai Ming’s heart almost stopped.
She stiffly turned her head, glanced at Long Huan, and forced a smile.
“The weath— weather’s nice, Little Princess, out for a stroll?”
Long Huan looked up at the pitch-black sky, then turned back to her.
Bai Ming: “…I’m sorry; as long as you don’t tell Little Ying, I’ll do anything.”
“Don’t be so tense.”
Leaping down from the windowsill, Long Huan crossed her arms, speaking in a nonchalant tone: “I’m a bit surprised. Turns out the president of Floating Splendor Commerce is actually a woman, and a Miss Water Name who’s always sticking to her husband.”
“I thought this case of ‘debauching a good man’ was spur-of-the-moment, but it seems it was premeditated.”
“That just makes it worse!” She raised her eyebrows and glared viciously at Bai Ming.
Bai Ming’s heart trembled, panic setting in as she started to explain: “N-no… I didn’t…”
“Didn’t you?”
Before she knew it, Long Huan was right in front of her. Although Long Huan’s petite frame made her look like a little girl next to Bai Ming’s voluptuous figure, something about her exuded an oppressive aura. Bai Ming couldn’t even meet Long Huan’s gaze.
It felt like facing an invisible pressure that would crush her if their eyes locked.
“The dignified president of Floating Splendor Commerce, disregarding a man’s wishes, deliberately getting him drunk and forcing him into… you think if this gets out, how many people would come to gawk?”
“S-sorry…” Bai Ming bit her lip, staring down at the floor.
“Just a sorry, and we’re done?”
Long Huan stepped closer, her expression cold and disdainful as she gently lifted Bai Ming’s chin, watching her tearful and timid face.
“Tsk tsk. You’re quite the looker, and you have a nice figure too.”
Bai Ming felt Long Huan’s hand measuring her curves.
But at that moment, she was the fish on the chopping block; even if the other party was acting inappropriately, she daren’t speak up.
Only, she sensed something strange in Long Huan’s gaze.
…As if she were being assessed.
“Speak.”
After inspecting her, Long Huan crossed her legs, casually sitting on the edge of the bed and saying without a care, “So, how do you want to handle this? Public or private deal?”
“…Huh?” Bai Ming stared at her, dumbfounded.
“You can’t just sleep with our husband and then act like it didn’t happen, right?”
Long Huan said impatiently: “If you’ve made a mistake, you need to take responsibility. If you don’t want to, I might just—”
“Eh eh eh!”
Bai Ming panicked: “I-I-I’ll take responsibility, but how do I take responsibility…?”
“What else? Pay to make it all go away.”
Long Huan shot her a sidelong glance, casually adding: “I vaguely remember that your husband still has a loan with your commerce association—”
Bai Ming knew she was talking about the three billion spirit stones Young Master Sang owed when he upgraded to the immense realm.
Though most of that had been paid off, with interest less than a billion remained.
“Alright, let’s just cancel that loan.”
If a few million spirit stones could settle this, Bai Ming could accept it.
Long Huan raised an eyebrow, continuing: “And is that it?”
“Huh?”
Bai Ming’s heart sank.
…Why did it feel like she just got caught in an immortal jump?
“W-what else do you want?”
“What do I want? Naturally, I want you.”
Long Huan said slowly: “Since we’ve already done it, let’s find a day for you to marry in.”
“…Huh?” Bai Ming was taken aback.
“What? Did you not say you’d take responsibility?”
Long Huan said casually: “The main wife is still pregnant, so it’s only up to your diligent little wife to handle this.”
Long Huan’s reasoning was quite simple.
Not to mention that this president of Floating Splendor Commerce was indeed stunning, and had a close relationship with her husband.
Simply the Floating Splendor Commerce under her command was enough to make anyone envious.
This was the most outrageous money-making machine on the continent, completely owned by Bai Ming.
Even if someone wanted to forcefully take it, it’d be nearly impossible.
But now, there was a legitimate opportunity to mooch off the vast assets of Floating Splendor Commerce, exactly when her husband’s spirit stone consumption during training was astronomical.
So, if she tricked this woman into the house, wouldn’t her husband be able to spend someone else’s money for his training without a worry?
“Sigh, I really am a great help to my husband.”
After saying that, Long Huan cradled her face in glee, as if already dreaming of her husband praising her.
Bai Ming hesitated for a moment before cautiously asking: “Um… can we put this on hold?”
Long Huan shot a fierce glare at her.
“No! I-I’m not saying I won’t take responsibility.”
Bai Ming whispered: “It’s just that… Young Master Sang doesn’t know yet.”
“I’m still uncertain about whether he can accept me… unsure if he really has feelings for me or just sees me as a brother.”
“And it’s only a few days before his wedding with Little Ying; I’m worried Little Ying would be unhappy if she finds out…” Her voice grew a bit gloomy.
Long Huan shot another sidelong glance, her beautiful eyes brightening as her tail swayed.
“So, you want me to keep it a secret for you?”
Bai Ming frantically nodded.
Long Huan looked again at the sleeping Young Master Sang.
“Then… it’ll cost extra.”
