Chapter 2614: Internship

Gu Lingqiao embraced him tightly, "Brother Kong, don’t go."

Lin Kong forcefully pried her fingers apart, saying, "Tingting, don’t be like this. There’s something unusual outside, I’ll go take a look."

"This is the Yihong Brothel, with so many guests coming and going, noise is normal. It’s the silence that’s strange! Brother Kong, don’t worry. No one knows we are here. You’re making a fuss over nothing, and you might scare the baby in my belly." Gu Lingqiao pouted unhappily.

Lin Kong thought she might be right. Recently, he had been hiding everywhere, made paranoid by Long Rui’s subordinates. Perhaps he was being too sensitive.

Thinking of this, he relaxed and lay back down.

"Tweet tweet tweet, you uglies, come out quickly. Your illicit affair is exposed. Come out and surrender obediently." A sharp voice rang out from outside the door.

The voice was sharp and piercing.

Lin Kong paused, "What sound is that?"

Gu Lingqiao’s face paled as she muttered, "That damned little bird, how is it everywhere?"

Lin Kong looked at her and asked, "Who?"

"That little cheap person Situ Xueer’s bird," Gu Lingqiao ground her teeth furiously. The bird appearing here—does it mean Situ Xueer is here too?

Upon hearing this, Lin Kong shivered. The current Situ Xueer was not the same as before. Ever since eating the Ginseng Fruit, her martial power was unfathomable, and even he struggled against her.

"Why are you still dazing? Get up quickly." Lin Kong’s body flickered, leaping from the bed, and in the blink of an eye, he was dressed and stood neatly by the bed.

"Brother Kong, why fear? With your martial power and cultivation, one finger could crush that stinky bird." Gu Lingqiao was indifferent.

She believed Lin Kong’s martial arts skills were profound in Wei Country. How could he fear a woman and a stinky bird here?

In front of an admirer, Lin Kong certainly wouldn’t foolishly admit defeat.

Lin Kong pondered for a moment, then said, "That bird is clever and agile. Our State Preceptor plans to catch it and present it to The Emperor to make him happy."

Gu Lingqiao disagreed, saying, "Brother Kong, don’t be fooled by the bird’s cleverness; its mouth is wicked. Whenever it sees me, it speaks ill. I’m afraid if you catch it, you’ll offend The Emperor."

Lin Kong shook his head, saying, "No, it’s a good bird. It knows how to identify rare treasures. Our Wei Country is at war now, needing lots of wealth. With such a bird, The Emperor will be pleased."

Gu Lingqiao: "Is it really that good?"

Lin Kong: "Of course, when have I ever spoken false words?"

As they spoke, Gu Lingqiao had hastily donned her skirt.

"Ha ha ha... you two fools, still think of catching me? Keep dreaming!" Xiao Qiu’s sharp voice rang out again.

The two looked up and saw Xiao Jiu perched on the window, its little eyes glaring at them.

Gu Lingqiao stood with arms akimbo, looking fierce: "Hey, stinky bird, has that little cheap person Situ Xueer come?"

Xiao Jiu, feeling safe perched higher, tilted its head and chirped, "You’re the cheap person! Snatch someone’s man and then sneak around; no one’s cheaper than you! No wonder you’re here at Yihong Brothel tonight—are you interning?"

"You... you...!" Gu Lingqiao was so incensed by Xiao Jiu she couldn’t speak, turned, and stomped her foot at Lin Kong, coquettishly demanding, "Oh! Brother Kong, look, this stinky bird is bullying me."
