Luck Reliant Beauty – CH 093

Chapter 93: Is It Him?

In the deep darkness of the night, countless torches burned around the masked man. These flames, illuminating most of the sky, made his tall figure appear even more cold and imposing.

Because of personal motives, Jiang Mi was the only prisoner on the dagger-like ship. The Southern Tang men escorting her were flanking her, occasionally brushing against her; one even roughly touched her hand.

Jiang Mi knew very well that this departure would likely leave her unrecognizable. She glanced back at her guards, who were nowhere to be found in the vast darkness, then, for some reason, turned back to look at the masked man.

Just then, the men escorting Jiang Mi passed by the masked man!

Jiang Mi turned her head, staring intently at the masked man. Her gaze was so focused and intense, it was as if she held her breath.

Just as Jiang Mi’s ship was about to pass, suddenly, she ripped off her veil. Revealing her true face, she pointed at the masked man and cried out in a clear voice, “Young Master, I will only be your prisoner!”

To be honest, whenever a woman became a prisoner, her first reaction upon seeing an enemy officer was usually to beg for mercy. But Jiang Mi’s assertive and serious demand to be someone’s prisoner was truly unique!

Moreover, Jiang Mi had always worn a veil, obscuring her face. Now, with this sudden lift, revealing her face so abruptly, even in the deep of night, everyone only saw a flash of light. When they looked again, the Southern Tang soldiers scattered not far away were completely stunned.

Jiang Mi’s single action and word froze the air. At that moment, the Southern Tang soldiers behind Jiang Mi all stiffened, while the masked Young Master, whom Jiang Mi was pointing at, slowly, very slowly turned his head!

Just one glance!

Just one fixed glance!

Suddenly, the Young Master was imperceptibly stunned.

In the blink of an eye, the young master withdrew his gaze, indifferently waving his hand without a trace of concern. His voice, devoid of any emotion, ordered, “Take her away!”

…Take her away! He actually said, “Take her away!”

…Jiang Mi’s eyes widened in disappointment, and for the first time, panic appeared on her face!

…The Southern Tang soldiers standing behind Jiang Mi breathed a sigh of relief simultaneously, responding loudly and happily, “Yes, sir!”

In an instant, the dagger-like ship sped up, and in an instant, the ship that carried Jiang Mi disappeared into the thick night fog.

The young master stood expressionless for a moment. Then he raised his hand.

As he raised his hand, the dagger-like ships whistled in unison. In the blink of an eye, the sniper boats, which had filled most of the lake, began to retreat, and the sniper boats surrounding the young master disappeared into the darkness.

…

Almost as soon as they retreated into the jungle, flames erupted and the sound of horses’ hooves filled the dock. The Shu soldiers had finally reacted!

Seeing the Shu soldiers galloping towards him, the young master, who had already ordered his torches extinguished, nodded slightly. At this moment, a general approached. After bowing to the young master, he exclaimed happily, “Your Excellency’s foresight is indeed divine!”

The young master smiled. But he remained silent.

The generals, seeing their mission accomplished, were in high spirits. They smiled smugly at the young master, thinking to themselves, “This one’s truly extraordinary. Not only is he exceptionally intelligent, but he even disdains such a beautiful woman who’s within his grasp!”

Just as they were thinking this, the young master slightly turned his head and said to one of his guards, “Go find that woman and bring her to my residence.”

Everyone: “…”

At this moment, not only did the generals secretly despise him, but even the young master’s personal guards stared wide-eyed.

One of the guards stepped forward. He seemed to had a very good relationship with the young master, speaking very casually. He asked, puzzled, “Young Master, since you’ve taken a liking to that Shu woman, why did you not just agree to her request?”

This was clearly the question the generals also wanted to ask. As they listened intently, the young master’s deep voice drifted over, somewhat languidly, “You do not understand. This is giving her another chance… Only then will she truly accept being a prisoner.”

His tone was so familiar?

For a moment, the generals exchanged bewildered glances, a chill running down their spines as they thought, “When that beauty revealed her face, I did not lose my composure in front of this guy, did I? I should not have, right?”

At this moment, the Shu soldiers drew ever closer. After the young master gave a few quiet instructions, the generals obeyed and retreated, disappearing completely in the blink of an eye.

Only the young master’s boat remained in the chilling lake. Surrounded by several guards, one of them whispered, “So, what does the young master mean by the upcoming itinerary?”

The noble young master, lost in thought with his hands behind his back, did not answer. After a while, he turned and said, “Go and fetch Old Lin.”

“Old Lin? What does Young Master want with Old Lin at this time?”

The guard’s question was barely out of his mouth when the noble young master glanced back at him, then lazily explained, “Is not Old Lin an expert in disguise and makeup? Call him over to do my makeup.”

To the guards’ immediate wide-eyed surprise, the noble young master, as if struck by a sudden thought, chuckled softly.

After chuckling for a while, the young master spoke again, his voice now filled with pleasure. He murmured, “Oh, right, have someone prepare a comfortable passenger ship… I, the young master, now have a beautiful captive; I must take this opportunity to take her on a good trip!”

The guards: “…”

After a moment of silence, one guard could not help but say, “Did not the young master say that after completing this matter, he would immediately return to Shu State? Why has he changed his mind now? So, you are satisfied?”

The young master’s reply remained languid. He chuckled, “You’ve got them; why are you rushing back to Shu State? Alright, get on with your business. This young master cannot wait any longer.”

…

Ever since being rejected by that somewhat familiar young master, Jiang Mi’s face had turned deathly pale!

No matter what happened, she had always remained calm, because deep down, Jiang Mi knew she was always lucky and would not encounter any misfortune.

But now, she was utterly desperate.

Standing alone on the dagger-like ship, her face pale, behind her were the Southern Tang men whose gazes towards her held not only anger but also a strong lustful intent.

Looking at the dark lake ahead, Jiang Mi thought despairingly, “This is it; this is truly the end…”
