Chapter 454 Never happen again
"You've already put up with enough of a fuss along the way, are you really not going to talk to me?"
He would rather she slap him or yell at him than suffer through this.
Sikong Jin narrowed her eyes, giving him a cold glance, taking in his anxious yet suppressed anger. She smiled coldly, tilted her head back, and downed a cup of wine. "I have nothing to say to you. You are the high and mighty Emperor of the Great Zhou, while I am just a lowly soldier. How dare I speak to you? If I offend you, my head will roll. I, Sikong Jin, am a coward who clings to life and wants to live a few more years."
As soon as Sikong Jin finished speaking, Di Beizun's expression darkened.
"Sikong Jin! You actually dared to hold a grudge against me for those two good-for-nothings?"
"I wouldn't dare. I was just stating the facts. I know Your Majesty's abilities. If you're unhappy, you can order them to be hunted down. Of course, I was the one who let them go. If you're still not satisfied, I'm willing to accept the punishment!"
Sikong Jin stopped what she was doing and looked at him calmly.
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare order them to be hunted down?"
"Then you can go ahead. I don't care. You'll have to clean up the mess yourself. I'm not going to put up with it anymore! I'm not drinking anymore, you can drink it yourself!"
Sikong Jin sneered and put down her cup. Xu Ran stood up and headed for the door.
This guy can't be spoiled too much; the more you spoil him, the more willful he becomes. I know he sees that Tuoba Yu and Xifeng Lie don't get along, and it's not a matter of just a day or two before he wants them dead.
Sikong Jin knew Di Beizun very well. He always pursued a clean, efficient, and ruthless approach to things, leaving no room for future troubles. However, this approach was not always suitable for governance. Of course, Sikong Jin also admitted that she personally had some feelings for the two of them.
She respected Xi Fenglie as a hero and a worthy opponent on the battlefield. Back when they were on the northwestern border, she had received some kindness from him, so she couldn't just stand by and watch him die.
As for Tuoba Yu, she felt a pang of pity. Don't ask her why she felt this way; perhaps it was because of the inexplicable bond she formed when she took advantage of him under the peach blossom tree years ago.
"where are you going?"
Sikong Jin had just taken a step when Di Beizun finally couldn't suppress his anger any longer. He slammed his chopsticks on the table and stood up with a 'whoosh'.
"Going to brothels and seeking solace for a wounded heart, do you have a problem with that?"
Sikong Jin glanced at him, ignored him, and walked over on her own.
However, she only felt a cool breeze, and before she could take a step, she was lifted up by a strong arm with a "whoosh". She instinctively slashed at the big hand and quickly broke free.
'Bah! '
The hem of her robe swept past the stool beside her, causing Sikong Jin to stumble back several steps, bumping into the coffee table. A sharp pain shot through her waist, making her frown. She stared coldly at Di Beizun before her, her palm already subtly channeling her inner energy—
She really wanted to beat this guy up!
"You are no match for me, Ajin!"
Di Beizun had no desire to fight her; even if they fought a hundred times, the outcome would be the same.
"Whether you're even a match for me is still uncertain. Don't think that just because your internal strength is higher than mine, I can't do anything to you!"
A faint anger rose on Sikong Jinxiu's beautiful face. Wasn't this guy just showing off that his martial arts were better than hers? Being bullied by him so often, Lady Sikong was extremely unhappy. No matter what, she had to fight him to feel at peace!
"If you're so tough, then don't use your internal energy!"
"Don't you know best whether I have the guts or not?"
"Then give it a try!"
Sikong Jin uttered these words and then rushed forward like lightning.
Di Beizun frowned, a faint glint of cold light flashing in his eyes. Even if he didn't answer, Sikong Jin wouldn't agree, so he had no choice but to raise his hand to stop her.
"Alright, Ajin! I want to fight you."
"But I want to fight you. I've been annoyed for a long time, and I'd rather have a fight to make it better!"
Without waiting for his reply, Sikong Jin attacked him directly with a set of Wing Chun.
This man has good internal strength, and his swordsmanship and knife skills are even more superb, but when it comes to fist and foot fighting, it's not certain who will win!
'Bah! '
A series of punches and kicks rang out, accompanied by the sound of tables and chairs overturning.
Sikong Jin's close-quarters combat skills were not her strong suit when she was in the X department, but her punches and kicks were very nimble, so she was usually hard to beat.
However, she had clearly underestimated Di Beizun. Although he could not use his internal energy, his moves were still there. Di Beizun was proficient in many martial arts, including knife and sword techniques, as well as fist and foot techniques.
After one round, Lord Sikong was finding it rather difficult to cope.
She paused for a moment, grabbed Di Beizun's shoulder with one hand and pressed down hard. She raised her right knee, intending to strike, but before she could react, Di Beizun's large hand had already wrapped around her waist. Before she could strike down, he lifted her up and slammed her hand against the pillar behind her. Enraged, Sikong Jin threw a punch, which landed squarely on his chest.
He didn't dodge either. The force was so great that even Lord Sikong felt a sharp pain in his fist. Seeing that he also frowned slightly, he withdrew his fist. "Why didn't you dodge?"
Di Beizun closed his eyes slightly, took a breath, and then opened them. His tall body pressed against hers, looking down at her with no hint of blame in his eyes, but rather a faint warmth. "Does that make you feel better?"
Sikong Jin also breathed a sigh of relief, rolled her eyes, and turned her head away. "Hmph! Dream on! I have nothing to do with them. Why are you jealous of them? I respect Xifeng Lie as a hero, and I feel pity for Tuoba Yu. You're the one who's going to get stuck on this."
"This time, I will let them off, but this will not happen again!"
Emperor Beizun finally relented, "Ajin, I don't like leaving myself with future troubles. If you think they are trustworthy, then I am willing to trust them this once."
"Trust me once? What about all the things I signed with Xifeng Lie? I promised him I would agree, you wouldn't want me to backfire, would you?"
A faint glint appeared in Sikong Jinxing's eyes as she raised her head and stared intently at Di Beizun.
Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Di Beizun's eyes. "Are you so certain that I will agree to this? You even dared to make such a promise to Xi Fenglie?"
Sikong Jin lowered her eyes slightly, remained silent for a long while, and then replied, "I originally wanted to discuss my detailed analysis with you first, but what happened next was too sudden. Before I could tell you, I had already encountered Xifeng Lie, so..."
