Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1565 - 359: Ugly Girl: Chen Jiusi, You’d Better Come Find Me! (Part 2)

The unattractive girl chuckled and responded, "Not entirely, but interests are mutual. I can’t see what kind of benefit would make you give up Laughing Buddha’s protection."

Chen Jie gazed at the ugly girl with astonishment, and noticing his reaction, she giggled and added, "Hehe, are you stunned by my words? Do you believe a foolish girl like me couldn’t utter something so profound?"

Chen Jie nodded, replying, "It’s true that you can’t judge a person by their appearance, nor the sea by its measure. I underestimated you."

The ugly girl answered, "Of course, having grown up on Bright Peak, I’ve been familiar with all your scheming and plotting from a young age. It’s just that I didn’t care to learn it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie believed her without question and comprehended the situation. Some individuals are born into privilege, much like this ugly girl, who entered the world at the heart of authority, encountering more deception and trickery in her early years than many experience throughout their lives.

Chen Jie sipped his tea as the ugly girl munched on a chicken leg, her gaze peering through the window cracks while she commented, "The King Qi Residence truly holds you in high regard."

Chen Jie glanced toward the ugly girl, who continued, "Do you notice that massive brute?"

Chen Jie observed the tallest and most robust figure, Qi Chun, and asked, "Do you know him?"

The ugly girl explained, "The elite warrior serving King Qi, Overlord Blade Qi Chun, formerly ranked as the world’s second greatest blade master."

Chen Jie remarked, "Eh, wasn’t the world’s second-best blade master Master Peng’s apprentice, Little Blade Saint Zhao Pusheng?"

The ugly girl clarified, "That’s due to Overlord Blade Qi Chun shifting to the Overlord Blade practice, which let Zhao Pusheng rise. If you tally it properly, Qi Chun might rank at best third, or perhaps lower."

"Blade path evolved into overlord path."

Chen Jie whispered to himself, sensing the heavy pressure, an aura he had only felt from Master Jue Mie—truly the power of a Half-step Melting God. From the faint deference shown by Chang Xuzi in his movements, it was clear this man surpassed Chang Xuzi in strength.

At that instant, the ugly girl went on, "Overlord Blade Qi Chun, Kunlun Sect Leader, and Kunlun Sect’s Elder Shu and Elder Hua. Hehe... Chen Jiusi, you’ve truly kicked up a storm this time."

Chen Jie shot back, "Wasn’t it all because of you? Without your involvement, I’d have donned a disguise and slipped away ages ago."

The ugly girl retorted, "Though you’re never content, constantly scheming to exchange me for gains. If not, you wouldn’t find yourself in this mess."

Chen Jie shrugged it off, stating, "Yes, I was indeed tempted. After all, who could resist the temptation of Liu Futong’s granddaughter, ranked sixth in the world?"

Hearing this, the ugly girl fell silent, as Chen Jie watched her and chuckled, "Hehe, fine, let’s get some sleep. Let them snoop around if they must."

No sooner had he spoken than the ugly girl lost her composure, staring at Chen Jie and demanding, "Aren’t you concerned in the slightest?"

Chen Jie answered, "Worried about what?"

The ugly girl pressed, "About getting caught by them."

Chen Jie responded, "If they find out, they find out. Worrying changes nothing. Rest well."

With those words, Chen Jie settled onto the bed. Witnessing this, the ugly girl stormed over to him in irritation and snapped, "You take the bed, so where am I supposed to sleep?"

Chen Jie said casually, "Locate a spot on your own."

The ugly girl challenged, "Aren’t you worried I might escape?"

Chen Jie replied indifferently, "Do as you please. The King Qi Residence folks are outside. If death doesn’t scare you, then go."

After uttering this, he shut his eyes, and shortly his breaths evened out, as though he had drifted off to sleep.

Observing Chen Jie like this, the ugly girl fumed, stomping her foot and declaring, "You’ll come to regret this."

Chen Jie paid her no heed.

Overflowing with bitterness, the ugly girl headed to the dining table, took a seat, and slumped over it to rest.

In that way, an unknown span of time elapsed. Then the ugly girl raised her head, noting the inn across the street had its lights extinguished, assuming the King Qi Residence group had departed. Turning then to Chen Jie,

She beheld him still slumbering deeply.

The ugly girl mused inwardly, covertly hoping he’d sleep forever, given she had no intention of sticking with him.

Rising, she eyed Chen Jie before creeping silently to the door. At the threshold, she glanced back at him, her lips twisting into a smirk.

What a fool, truly believing I wouldn’t attempt to flee.

With that thought, she softly laid her hand on the bolt, on the verge of sliding it free.

Swish!

Abruptly, a small stone struck her acupoint, paralyzing her body in place. In that instant, her eyes bulged wide with incredulity.

Hmm?!

Yet she couldn’t voice a thing. Meanwhile, Chen Jie rolled over, licked his lips a couple of times, seeming utterly satisfied, as the ugly girl stood rigid, her features twisted in fury, yearning to berate Chen Jiusi for his treachery.

But with the acupoint sealed, she remained speechless, forced to shoot resentful glares, inwardly damning Chen Jiusi a thousandfold.

Chen Jie, on the other hand, enjoyed a peaceful slumber straight through to dawn.

"Ah~"

Chen Jie stretched languidly, parted his jaws in a wide yawn, and lifting his gaze, spotted the ugly girl who had stood immobile all night; his lips quirked slightly as he waved and snapped his fingers.

A "pop" sounded, undoing the seal on her acupoint.

"Ouch~"

The ugly girl yelped in agony, hunching over as if her limb were wrenched, rubbing it hard.

"Ouch~"

Chen Jie feigned worry and said, "Why were you posted at the door through the night instead of resting? Your arms must be sore. Oh, the state you’re in~"

"Chen Jiusi, I’ll kill you!"

In a burst of rage, the ugly girl lunged with arms outstretched to throttle Chen Jie, who swiftly sealed her acupoint again.

The following moment, she stayed crouched halfway, locked in a menacing stance. Chen Jie commented, "Just look at yourself—who’d ever want to wed you? I genuinely fret for Yushan’s sake over this."
