Our Binding Love: My Gentle Tyrant-Chapter 405

The Little Turtle’s Pattern

Mo Linyuan placed a black piece on the chessboard, and indistinctly said, “Who asked for this place to be her home? She quite likes you.”

Hearing him mention Ye Mu, Qi Yan couldn’t help but ask, “Still hasn’t responded? Normally, with her condition, it’s impossible for her to live that long. Can she really wake up? Of course, I hope she will.”

“She will.”

Mo Linyuan told him with confidence. Then stretched out his hand, and “ate” Qi Yan’s large white piece. The chessboard became the black pieces’ field at once.

“Because I’m the Son of Heaven*, she will wake up. The Heavens is unlikely to strip me of my utmost need and give me things I do not need.”

*referring to the emperor

Qi Yan didn’t know how to respond for a while. “Since it’s not required, why do you want to fight other countries?”

Mo Linyuan said, “I regard this as a mission.”

He pointed at himself. “I believe after I accomplish Heaven’s will, she will wake up, and ruling the whole empire is my destiny.”

Qi Yan was rather wordless. “Like you’re not already ruling the world. Conquering Yuan Country within three months is not easy. By then, according to our pact, you won’t touch Yue Country anymore.”

Mo Linyuan shook his head. “No, it’s easy.”

He put down a piece and ate Qi Yan’s white piece once more.

“Because I have Zhao, Yan, and Li in my grasp now. I’m the hegemon of the world, Yuan Country will be scared of me before it starts. Furthermore, I’m playing chess with you here, do you know what this means?”

Qi Yan’s complexion suddenly changed! “You want to give a facade that we have allied?!”

“That’s right.” Mo Linyuan said complacently, “Yuan Country will think, in this whole world there is only his country that is enemies with me, a huge monster. Well, do you think he will let me attack for three months before the country falls?”

“You’re despicable!” And he thought Mo Linyuan staying was merely to go over the old days with him, but he actually had other motives!

A chill appeared in his eyes. “You’re not scared I’ll kill you now? You should know, this is my Yue Country’s land!”

“You can’t kill me.” Mo Linyuan stated this fact very calmly.

He stood up. “I dare to stay as your guest alone, of course I have something I can depend on.”

With this said, he held the piece in his hand. Those jade stones suddenly turned into broken bits. Not many people knew he had Ye Mu’s hundred-year cultivation. This skill of his, not to mention the number of kills, if he wanted to leave Yue Country alive, it was easy for him.

“So don’t waste your energy because the news of my being here has become known in Yuan Country, maybe my army already broke through them.”

“Despicable!” Qi Yan, who was exploited without knowing and fooled to settle a pact, suddenly drew his sword and made a cut toward Mo Linyuan.

“Everyone withdraw!” Qi Yan shouted. The trembling servants fled. Outside the pavilion of the garden became completely empty. He held his sword and indignantly said, “You had the idea of seizing Yue Country that easily since the beginning? You’re dreaming! Forget the pact, I was used by you!”

Mo Linyuan looked at him. “You better not force yourself to touch me because once I make a move, there will be kills.”

He was calm like water. It was as if his whole person died in the instant Ye Mu slept, so even if Qi Yan was Ye Mu’s friend, if he didn’t listen, Mo Linyuan would kill if he wanted to and would not hesitate.

“Then you can try! If you want me to capitulate, might as well kill me!”

With this said, he waved his sword toward Mo Linyuan. Mo Linyuan only severed a branch to meet with Qi Yan’s sword!

Qi Yan was alarmed. He was older than Mo Linyuan, why was Mo Linyuan’s internal energy this profound?

He kept being defeated into retreats by Mo Linyuan, and it could be seen Mo Linyuan was completely absent-minded. He didn’t care if he would die, only knew that if he didn’t listen, killing would be best.

This indifference made Qi Yan scared. He suddenly thought the living corpse was not Ye Mu, but the ice-cold and heartless Mo Linyuan in front of him.

Finally, Mo Linyuan pulled out the sword in his hand. That peach blossom tip soon pointed toward Qi Yan’s chest. So long as he stepped forward a bit, he could kill him!

Don’t doubt whether a branch can kill a person or not. Anyway, the branch in Mo Linyuan’s hand could.

Mo Linyuan’s white clothes fluttered. The peach blossoms beside him overlapped one another, and the peach blossom branch in his hand pushed down Qi Yan’s chest.

“So do you plan to follow our pact or do you want me to kill you?”

Indignant, Qi Yan said, “You clearly knew the outcome and still set this pact with me, I refuse to accept! Why not spend a small scale of troops to annex my Yue Country, otherwise kill me now!”

“You think I don’t dare?” Mo Linyuan chuckled, and then the pointed end of the peach blossom branch pierced Qi Yan’s chest.

The spring-summer clothes was thin, so blood immediately seeped through.

Qi Yan gritted his teeth. “Just kill me, be my guest!”

Finished speaking, he closed his eyes. He had been prepared to die. He’d seen Mo Linyuan did not take pity on him at all and made him sell his country cluelessly like this. He couldn’t do it! Dying first was better!

But the pain he was expecting never came. Puzzled, he opened his eyes, to see Mo Linyuan push aside the clothing on his chest using the branch. Using a dagger to carve, an extremely ugly turtle was revealed.

Mo Linyuan had really wanted to kill him immediately. Besides, after killing Qi Yan, his plan would go smoother, but the instant he saw this turtle, he changed his mind and didn’t speak because he knew who carved this turtle!

After Qi Yan reacted, he quickly pulled his clothes tight.

When Ye Mu was small, she played a joke on his body and the scar had always stayed there, but he wasn’t worried Mo Linyuan would figure out who carved it. After all, the carving was horrendous.

Right now he only worried about one problem, if Mo Linyuan would still kill him.

He raised his head to look at Mo Linyuan, but saw Mo Linyuan suddenly throw the branch away.

“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you.”

Qi Yan didn’t understand why he suddenly changed his mind and stayed on the ground, not getting up.

What he didn’t know was, on the back of the turtle on his chest, the messy pattern actually wasn’t a pattern, but was pinyin*. Only Ye Mu knew this pinyin, and Ye Mu also only taught Mo Linyuan.

*t/n: pinyin – Chinese romanization

So the moment Mo Linyuan saw the turtle’s back, written using pinyin was the three words “don’t kill him”.

Surprisingly, Ye Mu had long known he would kill Qi Yan by piercing through his chest, so she carved in advance this warning on this place.

And how could he not listen to her?
