How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 56: Tang Zan Is a Man with a Strong Possessiveness

When she arrived at the main hall, she found several mountain bandits surrounding Liu Xu with ill intentions.

Tang Zan was also with them, seemingly joining in the encirclement of Liu Xu, but actually intending to protect her given the opportunity.

Liu Xu was surrounded by these people, her body trembling slightly, her face pale, yet she didn’t utter a single word of begging.

Her back was straight, and a hint of ruthlessness could already be seen between her brows.

She had already decided that if the timing was wrong, she’d rather ram herself to death than give these people a chance to humiliate her.

She didn’t want Pei Shu’er to fall into danger trying to save her.

She couldn’t burden her good daughter-in-law.

When Pei Shu’er arrived and saw everyone, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows.

"What are you doing?"

The mountain bandits were greedily eager, rubbing their hands with anticipation.

"This woman is so beautiful, Second Master is drunk, how about the brothers..."

Saying this, he gave Pei Shu’er a knowing look that all men understand.

Pei Shu’er coldly replied, "Stop fooling around, this is someone Second Master fancies, he just instructed me that the women he has taken a liking to are off-limits."

Pei Shu’er thought for a moment and also pulled in Ma and Tang Qingning, along with Yinxing.

Others looked at Pei Shu’er suspiciously. Second Master had done this before, but never asked for so many women at once.

The scar-faced man frowned, eyes full of blatant suspicion.

"Did you misrepresent Second Master’s orders?"

Upon saying this, they surprisingly began to approach Pei Shu’er together.

Tang Zan frowned, his eyes cold, and he shouted sternly.

"What are you doing? Do you even ignore Second Master’s orders now? If you think ’Shorty’ is falsely conveying the command, then go ask Second Master yourselves."

Seeing Tang Zan, everyone knew he was a tough person, and with Second Master backing him, they didn’t dare to do anything to ’Shorty’ for the time being.

Pei Shu’er laughed, "I know this is suspicious, but look at those three women, isn’t each of them exceptionally beautiful and graceful?"

They nodded, losing their temper due to Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan’s good cop-bad cop routine.

They didn’t dare go ask Second Master if he really said such things.

Moreover, Second Master is drunk beyond repair now.

Even if they asked, he might not remember what he said himself.

Pei Shu’er then smiled and poured drinks for them several times, and they drank until they were floating, completely forgetting about earlier events, embracing Pei Shu’er’s shoulder and calling him brother.

Tang Zan narrowed his eyes dangerously, his gaze falling on the hands touching Pei Shu’er, seemingly wanting to chop them off.

Pei Shu’er never thought Tang Zan cared about her; he purely didn’t want his pride tarnished.

Tang Zan was a man with strong possessiveness.

Not to mention, even if it were a sow he raised being touched by others, he’d think about chopping those people’s hands off.

Pei Shu’er didn’t feel there was anything about this; these people didn’t know she was a woman, so this was completely a gesture of friendliness.

In modern times, hugging and shaking hands are normal, let alone kiss greetings.

Besides, it’s for the task; the better he got along with these people, the easier it would be to accomplish things.

By the end of the banquet, Tang Zan’s face was black as the bottom of a pot.

He looked sullenly at Pei Shu’er’s outer garment that had been touched, took a deep breath, as if suppressing his anger.

Ultimately unable to contain himself, he walked up to Pei Shu’er and fiercely rubbed the cloth, creasing it before his expression improved.

Pei Shu’er found it amusing, just as he was about to speak, he saw the bandits escorting some of the women back to the holding area.

Aside from the four Pei Shu’er mentioned earlier, others had been humiliated, only escaping further abuse because of impotence after being stripped.

Pei Shu’er was not a savior; she could only protect those she cared about, and others, she couldn’t help.

Moreover, she had done her best to spare them from this ordeal.

She had no regrets.

Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan cautiously followed behind the bandits, heading to the place of captivity.

The two stayed about ten meters away, stepping lightly, remaining unnoticed on their way.

The holding area was a basement, descending about twenty to thirty steps, leading to a large iron door with an enormous lock.

The basement entrance was guarded by fifteen bandits, including ordinary people and some who seemed to possess Inner Strength.

Pei Shu’er discovered that entering the room required both a key and tokens from three Masters. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

These items were indispensable.

Pei Shu’er was a bit annoyed; had she known, she would have taken some things from Second Master’s room earlier.

As for the key, Pei Shu’er had a plan.

Anyway, locks of this era were simple; either resort to forceful removal or learn lock-picking skills herself.

She could plan that into her learning process.

The two exchanged glances, knowing it was not the right time to break in.

Those fifteen people were very vigilant, and in addition, only about a dozen people in the bandit’s camp were drunk.

The rest hadn’t drunk much.

Now it was just getting dark, and no one was resting yet.

Although Tang Zan was excellent in Martial Arts, he couldn’t move fast due to his leg injury, let alone take several burdens with him.

Thinking of this, Tang Zan spoke calmly, "Let’s go."

Pei Shu’er nodded, noticing Tang Zan consistently kept half a meter behind her.

It was a distance he could protect her from while avoiding displaying his crippled struggle.

They had no choice but to return to their residence; the tall and short shared a room, so Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan stayed together.

But there were more than just the two of them; there were two drunken bandits, who, seeing Pei Shu’er, staggered over.

Planning to grope her while spouting vulgar words.

"This little lady looks unfamiliar, haven’t seen you before?"

"Though dark, this kind gets you going."

Tang Zan suddenly slapped them twice, leaving both seeing stars.

His icy gaze made them shiver uncontrollably.

"Not sober yet?"

That man shook his head groggily; afraid to confront Tang Zan, he sheepishly patted his head.

"I just caught the scent off Shorty, thought it was a little lady, I lost my head. Haha, hahaha."

With that, he collapsed onto the wide bed, intending to sleep.

The other man sighed regretfully and drifted off to another side.

Only the inner-side bed remained, shared by the tall and short.

Tang Zan pointed to the inner bed, saying, "You sleep there."

Pei Shu’er nodded, and as she lay down, Tang Zan also lay behind her.

Originally, Tang Zan’s back was turned to Pei Shu’er, but the behind man’s mouth smelled too foul.

Tang Zan had to turn around, ending up facing Pei Shu’er’s back.

Pei Shu’er’s lithe figure, even her slim and frail arch, fueled imaginations.

The fragrance from her hair and body invaded his senses.

Tang Zan found this harder to stand than sleeping among bandits.

He took a deep breath and turned to lie flat.

Pei Shu’er remained silent, eyes closed the entire time.

But the bed was small and cramped, ensuring they frequently touched.

The bandit behind Tang Zan was restless in sleep, moving closer to him.

Seeing Tang Zan’s forehead veins pulse, Pei Shu’er feared his temper might trigger, resulting in him chopping them up.

So she sensibly moved further inward on the bed.

Then she saw Tang Zan flip the large man to the other side; after scratching his butt, he just slept there.

Then Tang Zan reached out to hook her waist, pulling her out a bit.

Feeling the tender, slender waist, Tang Zan recoiled as if scalded.

He suddenly remembered the dream, the one where he grabbed Pei Shu’er’s porcelain ankle and pulled.

The touch on her waist made his palm hot.
