I like this chapter the most 😀 even though it’s very long with over 15.000 hanzi words

Tong’an Courtyard, a small exquisite independent courtyard specialized to host Prince Dan Lin.

The sense of crisis of falling into the trap is even stronger! Ziyan really thinks so.

He uses the keen insight of the swordsman to observe the changes around him, for him, a powerful enemy is not scary, experience has taught him that the most important thing he need to be alert of is the inability to find out the cause of the unusual.

The so-called unusual, of course, refers to the despicable and shameless pirate leader He Di.

Even Ziyan is very baffled, why would He Di walk out silently that night. This evil bastard likes to throw stones at somebody who fell down a well, win an inch – want a foot, as if he won’t give up until Ziyan is cornered, he is a completely vicious and ruthless character. Now that the medicine that makes people beg for life and death has been taken out, and Ziyan refuses to beg for mercy, with He Di’s personality, how can he easily let go of the great opportunity to humiliate him?

(落井下石 to throw stones at somebody who fell down a well: to hit a person who is down

得寸进尺 win an inch, want a foot: not satisfied with small gains)

When He Di put the pill down and left straight away, even Ziyan couldn’t figure it out.

After falling into the devil’s den for a long time, Ziyan experienced disgust, hatred, anger, despair, and now once again he tasted a new taste – extreme doubt!

Extremely abnormal, this person must be up to something.

“Is it better?” He Di’s voice penetrate into the eardrum again.

Gloomily, as if restraining something faintly, with obvious unnaturalness. After receiving a moment of silence, he quickly tentatively says: “Ziyan?”

Silence.

Finally, after being provoked, He Di who seems to be on the verge of rage squeezing the chin up to provoke back, Ziyan who pulls a long face says coldly, “It’s all right.”

“You look paler than a dead man, what is all right? You eat too little at noon.”

“Don’t bother.”

“Feeding my own man is the most thing i have to bother.”

“His Highness He Di! Please…” Ziyan suddenly raises his voice.

“Okay okay, forget it, this prince will follow you this time.” Surprisingly, He Di gives in with a good mood. He let go of his hand, as if to calm Ziyan’s anger, he moves away a little bit, but after a moment, he bullies him again.

Ziyan plans to avoid it sideways, but after the poison is resolved, although the body recover its mobility, it’s still not as flexible as before, he’s only a bit slower and He Di’s strong arms have already encircled his waist, he then has to lean against the man in disgrace.

“Let go.”

“Anyway, your body is so weak, it’s not bad to lean on me ah. This prince’s chest is the most desirable place for beautiful women in the world, who doesn’t want to lean on it for a few days and nights? Now it’s all free for you.”

Ziyan holds his breath.

At the peak of his physical strength, he’s even tied with He Di at most, Ziyan knows very well that he’s not He Di’s opponent either physically or mentally. Ziyan also knows a little bit about He Di’s behavior, and the best response at this time is no response at all.

Realizing that He Di begins to tell those shameless nonsense that makes him blushing and his heart beating, Ziyan no longer pays attention to who’s holding him, eyes look at the nose, nose look at the heart, closes his eyes, and no longer makes a sound.

(眼观鼻，鼻观心 eyes look at the nose, nose look at the heart: 1. The appearance of bowing one’s head because of shyness, shame, etc; 2. It means to concentrate and not to be distracted)

As usual, this reaction will trigger another round of teasing by He Di.

He is the kind of person who’s is born intolerable of being ignored. He is unreasonably overbearing, every time he finds that Ziyan is trying to ignore him, he will constantly look for more intense ways to force Ziyan to continue to struggle with him.

But this time, He Di is overly considerate.

“So annoying!” After discovering that Ziyan shows a posture of resistance, He Di scolds in an impatient tone, but let go of Ziyan’s waist.

Ziyan becomes baffled once again and even opens his eyes.

Things are weird.

Since that night, such strange things have happened one after another. If Ziyan doesn’t know too much about He Di’s abomination, he would even think this guy…. has found his conscience.

“Are you all right?” After letting go of Ziyan, He Di moves a little bit away as if he’s conceding, and sits side by side on the soft ground mat.

Ziyan turns his head and stares at He Di warily.

He doesn’t want to deal with He Di, in his heart, He Di is a poisonous snake that bites people, the venom in his teeth is more terrible than the poison that can kill people immediately, it is a kind of poison that can make people paralyze, can’t struggle, and slowly eroded. “What kind of tricks do you want to play?” Ziyan stares at He Di.

“Playing tricks? Heh, Ziyan, if this prince wants to play tricks on you, your life would be in danger.” He Di lies on his side on the high uplifted-cushion, looking at Ziyan up and down. The bright black pupils are brighter than the black jewel, He Di thinks it’s incredibly beautiful, he rubs his fingertips secretly, thinking about the touch of his hand touching the delicate cheeks, and says: “This prince is just trying to be nice to you and showing some kindness.”

“His Royal Highness, please call me by my official position, Special Envoy Ziyan or General Ziyan.”

“Calling Ziyan will be a little closer. “

“You and I shouldn’t even be close at all.”

“is it?”

“Yes.”

As if angered by Ziyan’s hard answer, He Di, who has been leaning on the side, suddenly sits up and hold him down before Ziyan resists.

In order to stop Ziyan from struggling any further, he simply presses himself on Ziyan until Ziyan’s chest becomes stuffy and he frowns uncomfortably, He Di stops his strength and pulls Ziyan’s hands high and fixes them above his head.

Condescendingly look at the other.

Ziyan raises his head and sneers, “The way Dan Lin people express their kindness is really different from our Xirei.”

“You bastard…” He Di’s sharp eyes cut into his face and suddenly lowers his voice and says ruthlessly “If not for being considerate, you’re provoking this prince like this, I’ll show you how a real Dan Lin pirate is.”

After the threat, he suddenly let go of his suppression on Ziyan and with a “bang” he once again runs out of the room without a word.

This is another suspected concession-act, which once again makes Ziyan feels stunned. He has a lot of experience in dealing with pirates, how can a pirate boss like He Di be kind-hearted?

Ziyan looks at the room where he’s alone, not feeling at ease at all.

It’s really scary to think of it, that guy, don’t know when it started, has quietly destroyed his clear and clean sharp heart. Before falling into He Di’s grasp, Ziyan didn’t know that there was anyone in the world who could use various ways to shake his calm will.

But now, as long as he hears He Di’s voice, or is touched and hugged by him, and…anyway, as long as he met He Di, Ziyan couldn’t help but breaking out in a cold sweats and had to pay attention to He Di’s every move.

Pretending not to care or ignore it, is all a lie.

To be held by that dirty guy to do that kind of thing, how could it be possible —— not to feel anything at all? Not to care anything at all?

“Kong Liu!”

“Prince?” Being a subordinate is really not an easy thing.

Having just finished many things and before he had time to enjoy the late lunch, the door of the room is suddenly kicked open by His Highness Prince without prior notice.

Seeing He Di’s face, Kong Liu doesn’t have to ask to know that it must have something to do with that man again.

Aih.

With a sigh of annoyance from the bottom of his heart, he stands up calmly and salutes He Di, “Does the prince have something to order this subordinate?”

“Nothing.” He Di curls his eyebrows. He often smiles evilly at the corners of his mouth, and always smiles indifferently, this miserable expression used to be the most disdainful expression of He Di, what is there to worry about when the man can wander around the world and grab whatever he wants? But now, he shows his most disdainful expression.

He Di walks past Kong Liu by the side and sits down on the wide rug in Kong Liu’s room, after a long while he seems to make up his mind and hooks his fingers toward

Kong Liu come over knowingly.

He Di’s slender eyes looks at him coldly, and he whispers word by word: “What happened today, if any word comes out, I will chop you up.”

“The prince can rest assure, this subordinate has followed the prince for many years, when did he ever said something that shouldn’t be said to others? If there is a leak, the prince doesn’t need to do anything, this subordinate will take his own life.” Kong Liu swears resolutely, then asks in a low voice: “If The Prince has any secret matters that demand this subordinate to do, please tell.”

He Di sneers, “What is there any secret for you to do? Come sit down, i have something to chat with you.”

Kong Liu stuns for a moment, then reacts after a while, he obeys the instructions a little nervously, and sits next to He Di.

To be honest, he’d rather be sent to do tough work than to talk about that damned stubborn and uninteresting man.

“This prince has been thinking about it for a long time today, I always feel that facing him now is as if left is wrong, right also wrong. This prince intends to discuss the matter with you.”

Sure enough, it’s about that man.

“Prince, what is Left is wrong and Right is wrong?”

Losing face is more humiliating, but He Di has always adhered to the principle of only looking at the results and not looking at the process, as long as he can really get Ziyan, discuss it with the tight-lipped Kong Liu is also good.

Towards the repulsive Ziyan, he, the most admired man in Dan Lin, is really a bit depressed.

“It’s like treating him as a woman is wrong, treating him as a man also wrong, being nice to him is impossible, but killing him is impossible too.” As soon as he entered the topic, He Di’s brows furrow tighter, “Kong Liu, if you meet someone who you refuses to let go, but he just sees you not pleasing to his eyes, what do you do to him? Forcedly do him?”

Kong Liu hasn’t yet met anyone who himself can’t let go, how can he know what to do? They are a group of pirates who like to act according to pirate habits, they do many things like burning, killing, looting and committing adultery, partying every night when they are happy, surrounded by groups of beauties, they have never had sweet love, but now they have to run into a virgin!

Kong Liu thinks for a long time, and frowns joining He Di in opposition to the same adversary. “This subordinate feels that if we engage in that kind of things, every men seem to have the same tricks, they first send all kinds of jewelry, then flirt with them, saying a few obscene words, and if it doesn’t work, just drug them, then… if it really doesn’t work, I’ll force him to do it first, then wait for him to finish crying and then do it a few more times. This kind of thing, the more we do it the more interesting it is, especially for the virgin, the first time they cry endlessly, but the second time they know the fun. The prince’s ability to please others in bed is so great that it shouldn’t be a problem.”

After Kong Liu finished speaking, he looks at He Di waiting for approval.

He Di is silent for a long time.

The two men big eyes and small eyes stare at each other, and both look at the strange expression on the other’s faces.

He Di thinks for a while, and finally sighs, “This prince has thought carefully, if i were rashly forced him until he died, i’m afraid that i will regret it in the future. Therefore, I think I should treat him better, just like ordinary people treat their wives, love him a little bit and let him be a little bit more”.

“It’s not bad too if The Prince thinks so.”

“But he just doesn’t know even the slightest about it, I obviously have put up with him in anything, but that bastard! I am good to him, but he is like a smelly stone.”

(Yan in Ziyan’s name means Rock, ‘stone’ and rock; Yan and Shitou have different hanzi but same meaning, ‘smelly’ usually describe as hateful)

Kong Liu nods silently, “Right, that person is really ignorant.”

“So, after i thought for a while, since we are pirates, we should follow the pirate rules, we forcedly take things, and so the wives. There is no grace or disgraceful, as soon as the thirty days of pray to the god of the sea is done, i might as well grit my teeth, tie him with a rope, do it all night, and done.”

“That’s also not bad.”

“Not bad, you fucker!” He Di snarls ferociously.

Kong Liu knows that himself has caused a trouble so he immediately shut up obediently.

He Di is even more impatient than when he was in the room just now, he squeezes his fist and says, “You don’t even know what this prince feels like. What a son of bitch! All of a sudden I want to be nice to him, and all of a sudden I want to beat him to death. I’m afraid he will be disobedient in the future, and in a blink of an eye, i’m afraid i willreally do him to death! I’m almost confused by this guy, Kong Liu, you have been with me for many years, have you ever seen me being indecisive like this?

“…”

“When my imperial father married my imperial mother, he didn’t meet such trouble too, even though she’s a queen, it’s not different than pulling down the veil and then doing her well. How come Ziyan is so troublesome? And even still a virgin, damn this 30 days banning period!”

Kong Liu has just learnt a lesson, so he doesn’t dare to speak casually anymore, keeps his ears up as a listener, and lets He Di continue to vent.
