71 -68: Saving Ning Bing, The Bet!

Sprinting all the way, he arrived outside the Earl’s residence, not even bothering with the main gate; he scaled the wall and entered directly.

The family samurai guarding the Earl’s residence immediately rushed over, and upon catching sight of Lanling and Ye Jingyu, they burst out in joyful surprise and knelt down neatly: “Greetings, my lord.”

After Suo Long’s death, Suo Lun had become their new master.

Lanling had no time to respond to them and rushed straight into his sister Suo Ningbing’s courtyard, with Ye Jingyu, not knowing what had happened, swiftly following suit.

“Bang, bang, bang…” Lanling burst through several doors in a row and entered his sister’s room.

The scene he encountered upon entering nearly shattered Lanling’s soul, blowing his mind.

His sister Suo Ningbing was lying quietly on the bed, clutching a porcelain bottle in her hand, her lips curled with a smile of relief and peace.

“Sister…” Lanling charged over almost madly.

Ye Jingyu, on the other hand, felt a bone-chilling coldness, fear surging within her.

To her, Miss Suo Ningbing was ostensibly their mistress, but in reality, she was no different from a biological sister.

Since Ye Jingyu had superior martial arts abilities, she had always protected Miss Suo Ningbing from a young age.

In Ye Jingyu’s eyes, Suo Ningbing held the exact same importance as Ye Jingfeng.

If Suo Ningbing were to die, it would be as if the sky had fallen for her.

…

Lanling embraced his sister Suo Ningbing and immediately checked for her breath; it was no longer there.

Then he listened for her heartbeat, which had also nearly ceased, and felt for her carotid artery, which too had stopped.

Lanling felt as if his entire world had collapsed, had been destroyed.

His heart was filled with endless darkness, endless hatred.

Hatred for the whole world, an aura of destruction surged within him, turning his eyes terrifyingly fearsome.

“Master, do not panic, this is a poison that constrains the heartbeat.

After ingestion, it directly locks the heart, allowing one to die without suffering,” Yao Xing said.

“As long as the poison hasn’t been in the system too long, there’s still a chance for revival.”

“How can she be saved?

How?” Lanling grasped at straws.

“You cut your own blood vessels, then cut open your sister’s, and let your fresh blood mingle.

My energy tendrils can then enter the depths of her heart, release the constriction of the poison on her heart, and restart its beating,” Yao Xing explained.

Before Yao Xing even finished speaking, Lanling immediately pulled out a dagger and made a cut on his wrist, then carefully made another on his sister’s wrist.

Next, he allowed their blood to fully intermingle.

Yao Xing’s energy quickly used the blood as a medium to enter Suo Ningbing’s heart and swiftly tore apart the medicinal energy locking the heart.

Then, it fiercely released the Dragon Force to activate Suo Ningbing’s Bloodline Dragon Force and her heart.

One time, two times, three times, four times…

Yao Xing kept releasing energy, repeatedly trying to activate Suo Ningbing’s Bloodline Dragon Force and her heart.

Of course, Yao Xing would love nothing more than for Lanling to completely fall into darkness, but not now, for he was still too weak at this time.

And if Suo Ningbing died now, Lanling would absolutely collapse completely.

Nine times, ten times…

Finally, Suo Ningbing’s heart gradually resumed beating, yet she still wasn’t breathing.

Lanling immediately kissed his sister’s lips, then forcefully sucked and started giving her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Over and over, after doing this a dozen or so times.

With a soft moan, Suo Ningbing slowly opened her beautiful eyes, seeing Lanling’s face, exuding infinite tenderness.

“Ling, sister sees you again.

It’s great to be with you again, even underground,” she said.

Seeing his sister brought back from the brink of death, Lanling nearly wept with joy, hugging her tight and saying, “Sister, you’re not dead, you won’t die.

Even Death cannot take you away from me.”

As Suo Ningbing’s gaze gradually cleared, she saw Ye Jingyu standing behind Lanling, and she immediately sat up abruptly, reached out to caress Lanling’s face, tremblingly asking, “Little brother, you aren’t dead, you aren’t dead?”

“Of course, I’m not dead,” Lanling said.

“I’ve said that I would protect you for a lifetime; how could I possibly be dead?”

Instantly, Suo Ningbing was so overjoyed it was almost as though she might explode, tears streaming out.

It was as though the entire world had regained warmth and luster.

The feeling of regaining what was lost was unbelievably good.

Lanling suddenly grabbed her shoulders and pulled back a few inches, gazing into her beautiful eyes, and carefully said, “Suo Ningbing, remember this, unless you see with your own eyes that I’m dead, never ever do anything foolish again, understand?”

Suo Ningbing nodded desperately, then once again eagerly embraced Lanling, saying, “As long as you’re alright, sister will be strong.”

At this moment, the two maids who rushed in after and saw this scene were somewhat stunned.

This didn’t seem quite like the affection between siblings.

“What are you looking at, get out,” Ye Jingyu said.

“Yes,” the two maids immediately lowered their heads and left.

…

“Sister, who told you I was already dead?” Lanling asked coldly.

“Was it Zhi Ning?”

Suo Ningbing instinctively wanted to say yes, but fearing that Lanling would immediately seek revenge against Zhi Ning and consequently face danger, she shook her head and said, “No, I had a dream, a very, very real one; I dreamed that you were…

were harmed by a bad woman.”

Lanling could see through his sister’s lie in an instant.

“It must be that bitch Zhi Ning,” Lanling thought to himself, “Zhi Ning, I will definitely have my revenge.

There will come a day when I will stab you first and then kill you.

I must and I will!”

At this moment, Ye Jingyu said, “Xiaolun, Miss is alright now.

I’ll take care of her here.

You go and get some sleep, prepare for tomorrow’s important examination.”

Lanling shook his head and said, “No need, I’ll just hold my sister and sleep like this.”

Ye Jingyu opened her mouth to persuade him further but ultimately didn’t say anything.

And so, Lanling and Suo Ningbing fell asleep in each other’s arms on the bed.

Ye Jingyu sat cross-legged on the ground nearby, not so much to guard them, but because she feared what rumors might spread.

…

The next day, the most crucial moment arrived.

The annual final examination at the Royal City Academy was about to begin.

The first test would take place in the evening.

All the students were about to complete their six years of education at the Royal City Academy.

For the noble students, they had finally been freed, and could now return to their lands to continue their lives of luxury and indulgence.

These six years had been an unbearable obligation for them.

For the commoner students, however, the graduation examination was a moment that could determine their destiny, just as the entrance examination did six years ago when they joined the Royal City Academy.

The Royal City Academy was the only chance for commoners to change their fate, their only path to ascend to the ruling class.

Passing the examination six years ago meant they could leave their ordinary lives behind and become elite members of the kingdom.

Now, after six years, the graduation examination would decide which position they would assume, determining their future prospects.

Therefore, for noble students, the so-called graduation examination was just a formality.

But for the commoner students, it was the moment that could decide their futures.

However, when it came to the importance of this particular graduation examination, no one could compare to Suo Lun.

Because this was the moment that would determine Suo Lun’s fate, as well as the fate of the Suo Family.

Of course, in everyone’s eyes, Suo Lun’s tragic fate was already sealed, and the downfall of the Suo Family was also deemed inevitable. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Several months ago, Suo Lun, who was the bottom student, could not possibly pass the graduation exam, let alone rank among the top ten and receive a noble samurai medal.

He was destined not to inherit his title, and the title of City Lord of Tianshui City from the Suo Family was going to be cut off from heritage.

…

Early in the morning, before the break of dawn, Lanling got up, finished his morning routine, ate breakfast, and then went straight to the Yuhua Pavilion.

Of course, his visit to Yuhua Pavilion was not to call on a girl, but for another important purpose.

Although it was nearly dawn and the girls had all retired for the night, his arrival still sent ripples through the entire Yuhua Pavilion.

Nearly all the girls got out of their beds to greet this frequent visitor of pleasure houses.

Because in the few months he had been away, the Wangcheng Top Nineteen had introduced three new girls, each with unprecedented styles and sensuality.

Each one, after being packaged by Yuhua Pavilion, saw their worth skyrocket.

Even Ye Xiaomao, from four months ago, still had clients fighting over her, ready to pay the price of five gold coins, with appointments scheduled out till the next year.

Following that, Lanling headed straight for the Silver Casino controlled behind the scenes by Zhi Ning.

The former owner of this casino had once tricked Suo Lun and then was killed by Lanling through a scheme.

Now, under a new owner, who was also one of Zhi Ning’s lackeys.

Upon seeing Lanling, the owner was momentarily taken aback, then waved his hand at once, sending someone to report to the Commandery Princess’s mansion.

“Young Master Suo Lun, to what do we owe the pleasure of your visit to my casino?” the casino owner stepped forward and bowed in greeting.

“I’ve come to open a bet,” Lanling said.

“What is the wager?” asked the casino owner.

Lanling responded, “I’ll tell you when your master arrives.”

…

Zhi Ning cherished her beauty deeply, hence she always ensured ample sleep.

Even though daylight had broken, she was still blissfully asleep in her fragrant bed.

At this moment, her trusted eunuch Li Zhu entered the room lightly, speaking through the silk curtains, “Your Highness, Suo Lun is not dead.

He has returned and is at the Silver Casino.”

There was a moment of silence from within, as Zhi Ning was still in a deep slumber, and the sound seemed to drift out from her dreams.

Then, moments later, her expression dramatically changed as she sat up naked from the bed.

“What did you say?

Say it again?” Zhi Ning demanded, trembling.

Eunuch Li Zhu promptly lowered his gaze, not daring to glance through the silk curtains, and said, “Suo Lun is not dead.

He has returned and is at the Silver Casino, saying he wants to start a bet with you.”

Zhi Ning’s breath became rapid, and every time she heard that name, her lips would experience a hidden pain.

With heavy breaths, her pale breasts seemed to swell even more provocatively.

How could Suo Lun be alive?

How could he possibly not be dead?

There was no way Black Widow Meng Tuoluo could have failed.

Her first instinct was to order the eunuch Li Zhu standing before her to go out and kill Suo Lun immediately.

But before she could issue the command, she held back, because Suo Lun could not die now, especially not in the Royal City.

“Tell him to wait, I will come to see him immediately,” Zhi Ning said indifferently.

“Yes,” Eunuch Li Zhu left lightly, as swiftly as he came.

Zhi Ning threw back the soft goose feather quilt and slid naked from the bed.

As she gazed at her own perfect body in the mirror, she said coldly, “Suo Lun, I really want to see what you’re up to.”
