I Was Sold to My Mortal Enemy (Double Transmigrations)

Shi Yi’s wedding dress and Xiao Liu’s dress were pawned for a total of five taels.

Pei Xing didn’t take him to Xiangshan County, but instead, they headed directly to Baiyin City.

Baiyin City was adjacent to Liang Mansion, and its ruler was Prince Chengyang, the father of the county master they had encountered on the boat.

Normally, Baiyin City should have been under the control of Prince Chengyang, but for some reason, the current emperor placed the city under Liang Mansion’s control, with Prince Liang effectively in charge. Even though Prince Chengyang was still the ruler in name.

Pei Xing provided Shi Yi with information about the four counties under Baiyin City’s control. Zihua County had two silver mines and one iron mine, Xinyue County had one gem mine and one gold mine, Yulan County possessed two gold and iron mines along with two gold mines, and Xiangshan County, their current location, had one gold mine and two jade mines.

Pei Xing shared with him that the prince of Chengyang County was known for his lecherous behavior, involving violence against women and a history of looting and destruction. Due to being the younger brother of the current Empress Dowager, the Emperor turned a blind eye to his atrocities.

The father had a penchant for seizing women, while the daughter was notorious for luring men. A dangerous combination.

It would be strange if there was no trouble with this kind of person allowed to manage the important territory. Luckily, the Emperor transferred the command under Prince Liang and the people praised the emperor for being wise.

Shi Yi’s heart slowly opened up as he learned more about the situation. Pei Xing was concerned that Shi Yi might have second thoughts, so he swiftly took him to Baiyin City to purchase wedding accessories.

He specifically instructing Aunt Hong to buy additional supplies in the county for the upcoming wedding during the Mountain God Sacrifice in seven days, they didn’t have time to embroider the wedding clothes themselves. According to local customs, the bride and groom typically had to embroider their wedding clothes.

Feeling the urgency of time, they didn’t plan on embroidering the clothes themselves, but rather to buy finished wedding attire and add a few symbolic stitches later.

.

Shi Yi thought that selecting a simple and affordable outfit would suffice. However, Pei Xing had a different perspective and took him to the city’s finest clothing store.

The store clerk understood they were there for wedding attire and guided them to an inner room where many men’s wedding outfits were on display.

It was clear that this store knew how to target its customers based on the area’s wealth.

Shi Yi was stunned by the opulent designs, some even adorned with gold and silver threads and gemstones. The choice was overwhelming.

Shi Yi opted for a plain, simple style with no extravagant embellishments, impressed by the quality and comfort of the fabric.

“I’ll take this one. It looks practical,” Shi Yi said. In reality, he meant it looked more affordable.

The store clerk, observing Shi Yi’s choice, was about to praise his practicality when he caught a cold glare from the tall man beside him. The clerk quickly changed his tune, “The guest indeed has a taste for simplicity and elegance. While this design may be unadorned, it features high-quality materials, and its price is the most affordable in our store.”

Upon hearing this, Pei Xing stepped forward, held Shi Yi’s hand, and declared, “Then, let’s order this one.”

After hearing the shop clerk describe the clothing as affordable, Shi Yi agreed to the choice.

Pei Xing made arrangements to pick up the wedding clothes the following afternoon. The exquisite wedding attire, crafted with fragrant brocade, came with a steep price tag of a hundred taels. While the timeline was tight, Pei Xing’s promise to expedite the work made it possible to deliver the dress on time.

Following the attire selection, Pei Xing guided Shi Yi to a jewelry store. Although he didn’t require elaborate jewelry like a woman, they ordered custom-made pieces according to local customs.

Shi Yi didn’t pay much attention to the jewelry and was more absorbed in admiring the craftsmanship. The intricate designs and beauty of the pieces were no less impressive than modern jewelry.

As they made their selections, Pei Xing’s eyes were drawn to a pair of hollow-carved silver bells with red threads. Something about them seemed to resonate with him. Without Shi Yi noticing, he purchased the bells and tucked them away.

.

While leaving the store, they bumped into two familiar faces.

Shi Yi recognized one of them, “It’s you. I didn’t expect to meet you here. I didn’t have time to thank you properly for saving me.”

Pei Xing, on the other hand, observed the two people and wasn’t in the best mood.

Xie Yu, who had a knowing smile, stepped closer to Shi Yi, “Little shuanger, you don’t have to be so polite. Meeting each other could be said as a fate. It is better to choose the right day than watching the time. If you are fine, why don’t you follow me to Huanyue Tower?”

Pei Xing agreed on his behalf. Shi Yi hesitated, thinking about the five taels they had left. As he tugged on Pei Xing’s sleeve to ask about it quietly, Pei Xing leaned down, so Shi Yi whispered, “We bought so many things just now and the building sounds expensive. Do we still have money to treat people?”

Pei Xing almost laughing out loud, he put his arm around Shi Yi’s waist and leaned against him, “It’s just a place to listen to story and drink tea. It’s not expensive at all.”

Xie Yu and Qin Yue had overheard their conversation and couldn’t help but think of the expensive costs at Huanyue Tower.

As Pei Xing said, Huanyue Tower was a place for drinking tea and storytelling. As soon as they entered, they would saw a large circular stage in the middle. On it, an old man with white beard was beaming with smile and performing. There was a group of musicians behind him to provide music and sounds effects.

Shi Yi was drawn into the story and couldn’t help but applaud and express his enjoyment, “Okay.”

Xie Yu and Qin Yue in the front turned to look at him and saw him holding Pei Xing’s wrist with his eyes shining brightly.

“This is my first time listening to a storyteller.”

“If you like it, you can some here more often.” Pei Xing’s face was full of doting smile.

Although he liked it, but Shi Yi knew it was impossible to come here anytime, given the distance from their village.

Pei Xing chosen a well-located box with good location, they sat where they had an unobstructed view of the central stage, where they could clearly see the performance. The enchanting ambiance and the lure of acacia wine made them enjoy the experience.

Xie Yu and Qin Yue hadn’t expected that Shi Yi would genuinely come to Huanyue Tower to enjoy the storytelling and tea.

As Shi Yi continued to enjoy his cups of drinks, he started to exhibit signs of intoxication. The first drink of acacia wine wasn’t harmful but it was enough to make people drunk and intoxicated.

Pei Xing noticed his reddening face and misty eyes and took away his cup to drink it himself.

Shi Yi frowned and glanced at Pei Xing, but before he could react, Pei Xing had brushed his lips with his finger, leaving him flustered.

Pei Xing advised Shi Yi to eat something, and he obediently complied, but the effects of the drinks was obvious, making him felt a bit dizzy. He was having trouble hearing the storyteller on the stage.

Xie Yu, who was observing them, realized that Shi Yi was drunk and that Pei Xing was clearly pampering him. The sight of the affectionate couple made Xie Yu doubt his earlier concerns about Pei Xing trying to deceive Shi Yi. It was apparent that Pei Xing was genuinely in love with him. He even overheard they would get married in seven days!

They just met at the end of examination and now, they would get married so soon. He didn’t expect Pei Xing to be such infatuated person.

Qin Yue, on the other hand, sipped his acacia wine with a deep thought inside his eyes.

.

As the energy of the Huanyue Tower kicked in, the storyteller left the stage, and a group of seductive barbarian dancers took their place. The leading dancer had a captivating figure, revealing her slender waist and alluring legs. The performance incited loud cheers from the audience.

While Shi Yi was enticed by the dancers, he tried to get a better look by moving closer to the stage. However, the alcohol hit him, and he ended up falling off his chair.

Shi Yi mumbled and seemed disoriented, “Why is that woman showing off her breasts? What is going on? I don’t want to go back.”

In the end, he was completely drunk and making ruckus. Pei Xing asked him to lay on his arms and ordered a cup of hangover soup. He stared deeply into the flush face of the small shuanger in his arms.

Xie Yu and Qin Yue observed the couple from a distance, “Hey, don’t you think you brought this upon yourself? You made him drunk like this, look at how distressed you are. You shouldn’t have tricked him drinking this wine.”

As they were conversing, Shi Yi suddenly rose unsteadily and yelled several times. When the hangover soup was here, he almost spilled half of it.

Pei Xing held Shi Yi’s head to feed him but he didn’t cooperate at all. The man drank the soup and fed it directly into Shi Yi’s mouth.

Xie Yu “….”

Qin Yue “….”

Was this person pretending they didn’t exist?

Xie Yu took a deep breath and said, “Pei Xing, I have something to do…”

The next words stuck on his throat as he looked at the scene in front of him.

The shuanger stood up and raising his head to look at Pei Xing as if to confirm, then he kept calling out Pei Xing’s name.

After Pei Xing responded to him, the shuanger was stunned for a while then clamped his legs around Pei Xing’s waist, grabbed his ears, and bit his mouth. He began to unfasten Pei Xing’s belt, all while shouting, “I want you to warm my bed!”

Xie Yu was completely flabbergasted, and his teacup tumbled over. Qin Yue, on the other hand, remained impassive.

“Son of a bitch!! Old dog Pei!! I let you bully me; I’m going to strip you naked!!” he said and bit the man hard.

“He is drunk. I will take him to rest.” Pei Xing took Shi Yi in his arms, who was acting out due to intoxication, and left quickly.

As Xie Yu and Qin Yue were about to catch their breath, they overheard yet another astonishing conversation:

“Quick, take off your clothes and kneel down to apologize to me, you big bastard!”

“Don’t go crazy; you still want your face?”

Xie You “…”

Qing Yue “….”
