Chapter 112.1: Put on a Play

“I deserve to die!” Ye Chuan slapped himself. His face instantly swelled up like a steamed bun. He burst out laughing as he cried, “I really deserve to die…”
Tang Doudou was speechless as she took all this in. Baili Yu hadn’t even died yet. If he really died, Ye Chuan would probably commit suicide in the name of love, wouldn’t he? That’s right, he’d die in the name of love, in the name of the affection between master and servant!
Tang Doudou couldn’t continue to watch as he lifted his hand to slap himself again, so she helped him out by flinging a slap over at him. Ye Chuan was stunned by this sudden intervention.
“What are you doing!?”
“Slapping you awake, you stupid idiot! Look at me!. Right now, your master, that damned evil spirit, Baili Yu is still alive! It’s not yet time for you to cry and weep. Hurry up and wipe off those tears on your face and chase after Baili Yu!”
Tang Doudou spat on the ground, then continued, “However, it’ll definitely cause a large disturbance if we suddenly turned around to chase after Baili Yu. If it attracts God Firmament Hall’s attention it’ll be a huge problem!”
Ye Chuan calmed down after being slapped. He thought for a while, then said, “How about this? We’ll head into the woods in front first then change clothes with the subordinates. They’ll pretend to be us and continue rushing forward while we look for some other shortcut to reach Master.”
“That won’t do! This strategy is way too easy to see through.” Tang Doudou thought for a bit, then said, “Why don’t we beat them at their own game!?”
“Beat them at their own game?”
“That’s right, beat them at their own game!” Tang Doudou already had an idea. The more she thought about it, the more feasible she felt it to be and the dark expression on her face made way for a smile.
Ye Chuan, who was just about to turn around and head towards his subordinates, saw her crafty fox-like smile out of the corner of his eye and reflexively shuddered. This smile was way too similar to that of Master’s. For some reason, when he saw it his hair would stand up on end.
