Chapter 168 out of 513 – A disastrous chemical reaction (1)

Gancao, who had been sleepily guarding the doors, had obviously been startled awake too. However, she was too shocked by the sudden appearance of a man barging into her master’s room. She didn’t know if she should shout for people to come or not.

Smelling a familiar scent, Ji Man calmed down from her initial panicked response to feeling someone breathing on her neck. She stretched her hand out and used all of her strength to pinch a soft spot on the man’s waist.

Ning Yuxuan let out a muffled yelp. His peach blossom eyes were full of anger. “Why did you pinch me?”

Ji Man was so irritated that she felt as if there were cross-popping veins on her head. She couldn’t resist the urge to glare at him. “It’s the middle of the night. Why did you run here for no reason instead of sleeping? This is Old Madame’s courtyard. Aren’t you afraid that she’ll break your legs for acting so shady?”

(T/N: Below is a picture of cross-popping veins that’s commonly seen in anime.)
