Chapter 726 The Birch Pass (Part Two)
"It''s not a big deal. We used to dissect dead bodies with our teacher while eating our snacks back
then," she retorted with augh.
"You learned from a teacher how to dissect a corpse?" Matthew thought about what she said again and
again. He realized that the more he knew about Harper, the less he could understand her. He once
thought that she was very fragile, but it turned out that her martial arts skills were exceptional. She had
just been hiding that on purpose. And even more outstanding, she had inherited the bloodline of the
Qin n, so she had very rare spiritual power.
Matthew pondered, ''If we are to fight in bed and I exert every single fiber of force that I have now, can I
suppress her?''
"Harp, shall we have apetition?" he then asked tentatively.
"In bed?" Harper asked as she already figured out what he was thinking. She rolled her eyes at him
and continued, "Don''t do that. Just outside the border of the Birch Pass is thend of South Kingdom. I
wonder how many spies from that kingdom there are in this city. No matter how powerful Luther is, he
can''t get rid of all of them!"
"I meant fighting. If you want to fight in bed as husband and wife, I''m very much willing to do so. After
all, I only have you by my side." The smile on Matthew''s face widened even more.
At that point, it dawned on Harper that there was an underlying meaning in her husband''s words. She
then stopped eating, put down her chopsticks, reached out for the table napkin from Forsythia and
wiped her mouth. After that, she threw a re at her husband and asked, "Are you disappointed at me
because I sent away your beautiful younger cousin?"
Matthew blinked his eyes before asking, "What? Where is thising from?"
Harper was so upset that she didn''t even want to listen to Matthew. "Humph! No wonder thatdy
dared to be disrespectful to me. You''re the one who''s backing her up. And now what? Do you want to
make your younger cousin your concubine? Or do you want to marry her as your wife? If you regret
sending her away, then hurry up and inform Rufus that he needs to send her back to you!"
Finally realizing that Harper was being jealous, Matthew burst intoughter. He grabbed her hand and
said, "Harp, do you know that you look so adorable when you get jealous?"
"Who''s jealous? I know I''m not! I''m merely giving you a suggestion. If you think you''re too lonely and
bored with only me by your side, I can find some more interesting women for you," Harper retorted at
once.
"I don''t need anyone else by my side," Matthew said, a dreadful expression falling into his face.
"Really?" Harper eximed with all her strength.
"Yes, of course! You''re more than enough for me! I can hardly bear you! If I have another woman by my
side, that would certainly kill me! I don''t care about the quantity of women. I only care about the quality.
And I can say with absolute confidence that you have the best qualities that I''m looking for," Matthew
stated with utmost sincerity.
Despite his sweet words, Harper only snorted. "I''m already full. Let''s take a walk outside to help with
our digestion."
Matthew stood up and reached out for her hand. "That''s a great idea. Let me walk around in the
general''s mansion with you. You know, I always feel like this arrangement is familiar, but I can''t
remember where I''ve seen such ayout before."
Harper''s eyes lit up. "Both the general and you are very tough people. It''s like you came from the same
tree so I guess you might have the same idea. Did you decorate the mansion where you lived before
just like this?"
"I''ve always lived in the military camp! Do you think thete emperor was generous enough to give me
afortable private room? You''re daydreaming," Matthew responded right away.
Harper thought it over. Thete emperor wanted Matthew to die outside of the kingdom as soon as
possible so that he wouldn''t be able toe back and get in his way. How could he give a ce for
Matthew to stay in? What was more, he had never given Matthew a single penny for the sry of the
ck g Army. If it weren''t for Matthew''s source of ie, the 300, 000 soldiers of the ck g
Army would have starved to death.
"Matthew, do you hate thete emperor?"
"No, I don''t have a grudge against him. There''s an old saying. Birds of the same feather flock together.
Wasting my energy to care about him is not worth it. After struggling for power for a lifetime, he was
killed by his own son in the end. I guess, it''s true as they say. You reap what you sow." While he was
speaking, Matthew had an impassive expression on his face. The deceased emperor hadpeted
with him all his life. Even though they were brothers, he hated Matthew for his outstanding military
capabilities. He couldn''t have peace of mind because of his brother''s talents. So he wanted to cripple
Matthew. And every time something bad finally happened, the emperor would push him away to deal
with it. From the moment Matthew had shown his talent to the second that the emperor was killed, he
didn''t consider Matthew as his brother. So when he was killed by his own son Francis, Matthew
honestly thought that it was thete emperor''s bad karma.
"What''s the custom of the people in the Birch Pass?" Harper changed the subject.
"The customs of South Kingdom are very liberal. Since the Birch Pass is next to the kingdom, they are
influenced by the customs of the kingdom. The people in the Birch Pass are open-minded. ManyContent rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.
women get out of their houses and do businesses here," Matthew promptly answered. He had also
been to South Kingdom, but he didn''t know what it was like after all these years.
With curiosity on her face, Harper asked, "Why don''t we take a walk outside tomorrow?"
Matthew had the same idea. The only way that he could know what was going on in the Birch Pass
was to go outside. And he could confirm if the city was sessfully managed by Luther, the appointed
commander in chief of the south domain''s army.
