Chapter 99: The hitman’s little koi 13 (part 1 of 3)
The little koi who had been lapped on couldn’t help but stiffen, while simultaneously trying to pull back his foot. Unfortunately, the was held in a tight grip by the other side, and was simply unable to move a bit.
Once something had been done, doing it again will inexplicably become logical. Pei Lie originally felt that his actions seemed a little perverted. But the embarrassed and flustered expression of the youth looked too adorable, that not only did he not loosen his hand, he even used his teeth, to nip with a force that was neither too heavy nor light.
A slight tingling sensation similar to an electric current suddenly rushed up from the little koi’s toe, making him uncontrollably shudder. He softly voiced out: “Wu, dirty, loosen your mouth……”
However, in Pei Lie’s perspective, there was nothing cleaner in this world than his baby. He even lapped on the brilliantly glossy toenails of the little koi, then eventually turned his attention to the instep. Printing a couple of lovely and colorful kiss marks on top of the white instep.
A man, especially such a powerful man like Pei Lie, who would willing lower himself to kiss the instep of his sweetheart, is sufficient enough to illustrate his wholehearted devotion and affection for him. However, unlike a normal person, the feet of the little koi can be regarded as the second most sensitive place on his entire body. As soon as it became too unbearable, the pair of feet unexpectedly transformed into a fishtail with a swish. He then raised his large tail and unrestrainedly swatted Pei Lie’s head with a pa.
The tail of the little koi was actually as soft as his body, even if the strike of this tail looks heavy, but Pei Lie didn’t feel a wee bit of pain at all. The gauze like tail carried a trace of the moist and refreshing sea breeze, along with a light sweet taste of wind brushing on the face. This scent made Pei Lie very addicted, just like a unique pheromone that could fascinate and intoxicate him.
The great hitman had really wanted to touch this beautiful fishtail since a long time ago, but never found an opportunity. This strike of the little koi was just in line with his intentions, as he immediately seized this opportunity and placed it in his arms. The golden scales was a bit cold to touch, yet warm as jade, and looks just like diamonds under the light’s illumination. It was so beautiful, that it can even be thought of having the capability to seize the soul.
Sad to say, the tip of the large tail had a large expanse of inflamed area. This, in all likelihood should be the injured foot of the little koi when it transforms into human feet. Pei Lie gently touched the area outside the inflamed spot, and also moved closer to blow on it. But this was actually more unbearable for the little koi than the touches on the feet, so he couldn’t restrain from letting out a faint whimper.
This whimper sounded similar to a sultry and seductive moan. Chen Tong never expected that the fishtail would actually be more sensitive compared to the pair of legs, that even the scales of that lower area reacted, which trembled slightly in an attempt to straighten up.
He immediately felt embarrassed and angry. But the entire fishtail was firmly ensconced in the arms of the other side, and couldn’t struggle free. Hence, the little koi simply turned back to his prototype in the end.
With a flash of white light, Pei Lie only felt his arms become empty. The large tail he was holding in his arms disappeared all of a sudden. Only a smaller than a palm little koi with bright golden scales which seems to glisten showed up, bringing along half a hand’s cup of water with it, and was lively fluttering about in his palm. His wanton licks and touches just a moment ago probably made the little koi very unhappy, as it swiftly flickered it’s tail, splashing beads of water on his entire face, then furiously reared it’s tiny head afterwards.
However, Pei Lie didn’t have the spare time to think whether the little guy was angry or not, as his entire attention was placed in hastily looking for a fish tank for the apple of his eye in the cup of his hands, for fear that the water would run dry and lead to it’s lack of oxygen. Fortunately, the coffee table had a huge cup of water on top, which had just been filled with tepid water. So, he hastily placed the little koi in it.
The sleepy, weary and sick little koi, directly sank down and fell asleep at the bottom of the cup in his fish form.
Pei Lie silently sat on the side and looked at it, his eyes were so sticky that it seemed as if he was giving it a light kiss. After patiently waiting for the little koi to fall in a deep sleep, he softly and quietly moved the cup to the top of the bedside table, then went to the bathroom to wash up.
The washing efficiency of the great hitman has always been very high, that he quickly finished washing up. He raised his hand to take a bath towel and tied it around his waist, then brushed his teeth in front the sink, leaving his upper body bare. The tall body was full of strong and fine muscles, which contains tension and a sense of beauty, along with countless scars.
Being the number one hitman was definitely not an easy task. Pei Lie’s body contained lash marks, knife wounds, bullet holes and other scar marks that couldn’t be easily distinguished with the eyes. It could be said that everything that should be here is here. But when he raised his eyes to look at the gunshot wound on his shoulder as well as the hole made by the steel reinforcement bar he obtained today in the mirror, both places were smooth and clean just like being rejuvenated.
Pei Lie touched the place the bullet penetrated the shoulder, and reminisced about the miraculous gradual healing of the wound at that time. The bullet that entered the body automatically disappeared, then the lost blood was imperceptibly replenished, the feeling was similar to the complete resurrection in a game. Even the fatigue on the muscles had practically been washed away. However, Pei Lie’s mind was not at peace at all, because he clearly remembered that the complexion of the little koi turned extremely pallid after he was cured. This ability was also too powerful and incredible, if by any chance this will be known by other people, perhaps the youth would have to face extremely terrible situations.
The organization of hitmen, that Pei Lie was affiliated to was the one who orchestrated the assassination attempt today. Even though all those killers were unfamiliar faces, but from the explosives set and the method of ambush, were all the usual techniques of the organization.
——The only doubtful point of Pei Lie was the assassination attempt which came too quickly, and was completely unlike the style of the ‘General’.
He received a message at noon, containing a series of garbled characters, and looks just like nonsense characters displayed when a software fails to render the text according to its intended character encoding. After quickly reorganizing the characters, the message was soon deciphered. It was a direct order from the ‘General’, commanding him to return to the organization at once.
The ‘General’ is the leader of the entire organization. Under normal circumstances, the organization would never directly issue an order message to a hitman, most of which would be carried out by the intelligence officers. The intelligence officers would decipher the mission’s content coming from the organization, then deliver it to the particular hitman through various secret methods afterward. Not only can this prevent the information of the organization from leaking, but this can also prevent the hitman from obtaining the mission’s information in advance, not listening to the dispatch and acting independently.
Pei Lie understands what the direct order from the ‘General’ means. Not only were the three missions he needed to do for free in order to withdraw from the organization overruled, but it was also an ultimatum. ——If he doesn’t go back, he will be faced with a month-long of assassination, and he can only leave if he survives pass this assassination attempts.
This ultimatum takes effect in 36 hours. In other words, the organization will only execute the annihilation plan after 36 hours has passed. Pei Lie had once served as an ‘exterminator’ in the past, and struck the target through close tracking. However, only 5 hours has passed from him receiving the message to encountering the assassination attempt. Not to mention the routes needed to be planned in advance, as well as the time needed to hide the explosives, making all of it seem like it was premeditated from a much earlier time. Something had most likely gone wrong within the organization, and even the ‘General’ might have already been overthrown.
Pei Lie switched the lights off. His eyes slightly narrowed in the dark, his silent figure unconsciously exuded a dangerous feeling. He thoroughly checked the gun in his hand one more time, then sat on the bed and slightly on it’s headboard, then looked down and spoke to the little koi that was sound asleep: “Tong Tong, we’ll be having a month long honeymoon trip. What do you say?”
Chapter 99: The hitman’s little koi 13 (part 2 of 3)
The early mornings in Philadelphia has a slightly cooler temperature.
In the early season of autumn, the streets were full of a sense of serenity peculiar to the months of autumn, that even the fountain in the middle of the street gives out a sense of calmness, with a water flow that was neither fast nor slow. Located next to the fountain is a restaurant with a simple decor, but had a very great public reputation. The early morning meal rush hour has already passed, so a rare calmness descended in the restaurant, only a few customers on different tables were scattered around. A tall man of Asian descent entered the restaurant at this time, who quickly and unobtrusively scanned the entire area once, and eventually walked towards an empty area to the corner of the back door afterwards.
No one in this place paid any heed to the ordinary man that came over for a meal. Only that pretty-looking waitress leaning on the counter noticed the other person the moment he walked passed the entrance, her eyes immediately followed him closely and couldn’t move away.
This man is Pei Lie, the little koi which was still asleep, was transferred by him to a newly purchased small semi-circular fish tank, to always be by his side.
This seat chosen by Pei Lie has a clear view of all the activities inside and outside the premises, and provides an easy escape route in case a situation arises. The scrutiny given by that waitress was instantly perceived by him, making him subconsciously think that the other party was a tracker sent by the organization, so he secretly raised his vigilance at once. But he soon realized that she was just an ordinary woman who inexplicably generated a ‘sexual interest’ towards him, so there was no need for caution at all.
——Oh, my, god! This man truly suits her taste! This type is her absolute favorite!
As the blonde waitress was already screaming inside, her eyes that were looking towards Pei Lie direction had also become increasingly intense. In her countless experiences in reading people, she could ascertain that the body under the other party’s clothes was definitely packed with strong muscles. The person’s age should be around 29 or 30, which was precisely the peak period of a man’s virility. Even though the person is from the Orient, but the facial lines were as deep and angular as the Westerners, with an appearance that appears resolute yet calm. In addition to the long and narrow eyes which were the unique charm to the Oriental people.
The only strange thing was that he actually brought along a small fish tank. The big hand carrying the fish tank was so stable, that there was no movement of the water surface throughout the entire journey from the entrance until he reached the seat. He then gently set the small fish tank on the table afterwards.
Rarely could she come across this kind of man that suit’s her taste. Exuding such dangerous sex appeal from head to toe. He also seems to be single, which made the waitress want to directly charge forward to ask for his contact number. She took a service tray and went to ask Pei Lie what he wanted to order while trying to feign nonchalance, then received the answer of poached egg with grilled toast and a bowl of oatmeal.
The breakfast content he ordered was very simple, and was the combination used by the local people. Even his accent sounded quite typical as well. His every movement reveals good etiquette, in addition to the elegant and neat temperament, which couldn’t help but cause the waitress to feel more interested.
During the moments when the great hitman who constantly treads in the darkest area is not taking lives, his temperament will actually turn simple and neat. Such as this moment, when he is just sitting peacefully, and is calmly waiting for his breakfast. There was definitely nothing that could associate him to a bloody killer. His slightly lowered head and focused attention towards the fish tank had instead made him look like a gentle, kind and devout Christian.
And it was the way he looked at the fish tank that made the waitress resist the temptation of asking his contact number or seduce him.
The gaze Pei Lie used to look at the little fish in the tank was truly overflowing with deep love.
That little fish was definitely left by his ex-girlfriend, ——She decisively concluded. Although an affectionate man is good, but it is also the hardest to tackle. The capture index would definitely be the highest star.
The waitress couldn’t help but feel somewhat depressed and dejected, right until the food was served to Pei Lie. She reluctantly looked at him for a few more times, and took a brief look at the little fish as well. That brief look triggered a surge of murderous impulse in Pei Lie. The golden colored little fish sleeping at the bottom of the tank, truly looks very cute and beautiful, but just then, the waitress actually saw the little fish up it’s tiny belly a little bit!
In her cognition, fishes will only have it’s belly upwards when they die, so she couldn’t help but immediately cry out, “Sir, your little fish, it……”
But was calmly interrupted by Pei Lie: “It only changed it’s sleeping position.” Then frowned slightly, and directly issued words that was intended to drive others away, “……I don’t need any service here”
In fact, the great hitman also felt somewhat speechless about the little koi who could turn it’s belly upwards.
When he woke up and opened his eyes in the morning, he immediately noticed that the little koi had actually turned to a belly-up position, and immediately felt frightened, so frightened that his hands and feet became a bit cold, but strenuously tried to stay calm. Only then did he discover something wrong, because the little koi didn’t float up to the surface of the water at all, but still remained at the bottom of the cup, and seemed to still be in a deep sleep.
As expected, the little guy moved after a short time later, smacking it’s mouth as if it dreamed of something delicious, then slightly flapped it’s pectoral fins. Pei Lie then realized that this little koi would unexpectedly change it’s sleeping position unconsciously after falling into a deep sleep similar to humans. It would even occasionally move to lie on it’s back or lie on it’s side from time to time, that he couldn’t help but be somewhat in between tears and laughter.
The little koi had eventually been woken up by the shouting sound of this waitress, it then shook it’s tail in an exasperatingly slow motion to straighten itself up. Pei Lie had also finished eating his breakfast quickly. So he took the fish tank as well as the packaged cheese sandwich and blueberry juice meant for the little koi, then left the restaurant and got on the car.
The destination Pei Lie wanted to head to is San Francisco.
Chapter 99: The hitman’s little koi 13 (part 3 of 3)
In order to get away from being tracked, apart from some cash and necessary documents, the rest of the things that can’t be taken were left behind, in order to try and keep everything simple. The great hitman had already gone through all the hardships, and was already hardened to all challenging experiences. Packed inside the trunk of the car were all the things of the little koi, such as snacks, blankets and small pillows. There was also an airtight fish tank equipped with a water purifier.
It didn’t take long for the little koi to jump out of the water and turn to a healthy-looking bare naked youth inside the car, he then sat on the front passenger seat with a T-shirt on. Pei Lie raised his hand and checked the temperature on the youth’s forehead to determine whether his fever had returned, “Do you still feel unwell?”
The little koi shook his head, then inquired while looking at the constantly changing scenery outside the car’s window: “Where are we going?”
Pei Lie showed him a slight smile, and answered with a bit of mean intention: “To elope.”
“.…..Oh.”
The little koi blinked his eyes, he actually presented no retort or even an expression of doubt. He then began to eat the sandwich Pei Lie took out. The rich fragrance of the cheese caused him to slightly squint in satisfaction, “The gaze that the waitress looked at you in the restaurant was especially passionate. She looked like she really wanted to strike up a conversation with you.”
The little koi merely stated what he saw and heard, but Pei Lie deliberately asked in return: “Is baby feeling jealous?”
Speaking so, his unoccupied hand reached out and hooked the youth’s finger, “Rest assured. I already have a wife, so I’ll never give other people even a single glance.”
The scales of the little koi couldn’t help but slightly bristle because of the word wife. He discontentedly moved his finger away, and sternly declared: “Not only is this great deity a male fish. I also never held a wedding ceremony with you.”
Pei Lie continued to tirelessly catch his sweetheart’s hand, “Then we’ll go to St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and hold a wedding ceremony there.”
The earnest and determined tone inevitably caused the little koi to be dumbstruck for a moment, as he subconsciously asked: “Can two men hold a wedding ceremony? ……isn’t this too weird and ostentatious?”
Pei Lie immediately stated that since he would tie a knot and get married only once in his life, it would be strange if he doesn’t display it so ostentatiously. The little koi had become slightly bereft of speech for a brief moment, that his finger had finally been caught by the other side, in a tight grip that also left no room for struggle.
Chen Tong also felt that the continuous act of struggling free and chasing was quite senseless, so he allowed the continuous entanglement of the other. But indescribably felt that he should knock down the other side’s impressive enthusiasm a notch for no reason at all, so he deliberately said: “If you want to do an ostentatious wedding ceremony, you still need to spend quite a lot of money to make it work. There should at least be a luxury car, a villa, in addition to a huge diamond ring.”
“Tong Tong” But Pei Lie’s eyes instantly lit up in spite of these, “Does this mean that you agree to marry me?”
The little koi then found himself completely surrounded. The love on Pei Lie’s face was so strong that it could drown the youth, the voice was also full of deep affections: “……as long as you are willing to be with me, I’m willing to lose everything*.”
*idiom: to lose a family fortune
Chen Tong’s heart uncontrollably skipped because of deep affection revealed by the man’s expression, beating faster and faster. Some seemingly familiar scenes began to flash through his mind once more, causing him to subconsciously press a hand against his own chest.
But he still remained stubborn and hard-mouthed, “How can it be that easy?”
The very aloof little koi expressed that he is a very difficult to please type of great deity koi, and is not that easy to string along, “There is a lot more that needs to be done.”
The great hitman immediately cooperated and showed an all ears posture. So the little koi raised his head, and deliberately lifted his chin up in order to look down on him. The eyes that looked over unconsciously exuded pride and beauty, as he said: “You need to serve me with a lot of delicious food everyday. You must buy me whatever food I want to eat. You need to give me delicious food when I’m unhappy, and even more delicious food must be given to me when I’m happy. You can’t lie to me, shout at me or intimidate me. Help me pick out the slices of ginger when I’m eating, help me peel the shell when I’m eating shrimps. You must hate who I hate, you must not like eating anything that I don’t like to eat. Oh, that’s right. You can’t prattle around me that eating too much cold stuff will make me get sick when I’m eating ice cream, you’re also not allowed to dampen my spirits by saying that I will turn dumb when I’m eating popcorn. You need to look for some snacks to feed me when I’m bored, make me midnight snacks when I can’t fall asleep at night. The cakes need to be prepared in advance during birthdays, ——En, it’s best to have the flavors of mango and chocolate.”
The central idea of this entire passage can be completely summarized in the single word food.
Even the little koi himself felt a bit tired from saying such a very long statement. Not only did the great hitman attentively listen to this to the end without missing a single word, but he seriously nodded as well, “Alright. ——Is there anything else?”
“.…..En, ” The little koi tilted his head to the side and thought once more, “You also have to carry me when I can’t move.”
Needless to say, Pei Lie nodded once more, then the little koi said with great compassion: “I can’t think of anything for the time being, I’ll think of things to add on later.”
“I have noted it all down,” Pei Lie resisted the urge to kiss the youth, the corner of his lips titled up with indulgence, “……that’s right, there are some snacks at the back of the car, would you like to see which one you like?”
The expression on the face of the little koi remained unchanged, but had inwardly raised his tail up high. But the moment he wanted to crawl to the back seat to rummage for the snacks, he heard Pei Lie speak once more: “But, a partner’s responsibility must be mutual. If I do what you have said, shouldn’t I also have the right to make a single request?”
The little koi couldn’t help but pause for a moment, “What do you want?”
“It’s simple. Just let me eat my fill as well.”
The little koi didn’t have any reaction for a period of time, until he noticed the expression on Pei Lie’s eyes that scanned his body from top to bottom. Only then did he understood what the actual meaning of the word ‘eat’ means. His ears immediately flushed, as he fiercely glared at Pei Lie.
But his glaring appearance in Pei Lie’s perspective felt too adorable instead, that he even wanted to stop the car and take the other person in his arms, to give him a deep and passionate kiss.
The road was very smooth, and the performance of the off-road vehicle was also very excellent. That after the little koi finished eating his snack, he unwitting fell asleep once more while listening to the music in the car.
But he had never expected Pei Lie to actually get a tattoo.
They did not continue their journey after nightfall, but stayed in a hotel in the town. Although the room was not large, but it could still be considered as clean and tidy. Coincidentally, there is a tattoo shop next to the hotel. The great hitman directly went in and purchased the tools and dye, then prepared a personal pattern for himself.
Pei Lie loves the little koi so much, and had established a relationship with him after great difficulties. So he would naturally be unwilling to let the other side out of his sight. Because the feet had not yet been completely healed, so the little koi sat up on the bed. In his hands was a ballpoint pen and a small notebook, he then leaned on the bed’s headboard and wrote a diary.
For fear that he would lose his memory again, he decided to write down the daily events, like a clever primary school student, with a specially serious countenance. But was given a fright when he looked up and noticed the mechanical tool, that his eyes widened, “……What are you doing?”
Pei Lie had already created two styles of the character Tong on the paper, which he held up as he asked the little koi: “Which one do you prefer?”
The youth knitted his brows, “Hey, don’t mess around, ah. You…… ”
“Then this should be good.”
The great hitman personally chose the one that has a small tail, then took off of his shirt, exposing the smooth and fine muscular lines on his upper body. Then carefully drew the pattern below the left collarbone with the use of a surgical marker.
The brows of the little koi became more furrowed, but didn’t know how to stop the other, and could only helplessly watch him take the tattoo machine fitted with a sharp needle on the tip.
The motor sound unique to the tattoo machine came along, a slight bloody smell also spread a bit. But the color on Pei Lie’s face never changed right from the start, as if the skin being pricked by the needle was not his own. There were no stifled grunt, his hand did not have the slightest shake as well.
However, the little koi felt an indescribable anxiety, that he wanted to cover his ears and eyes. But for some unknown reason, he also couldn’t help but force himself to watch.
The Chinese character Tong has a lot of strokes, so it requires a longer time as well. Pei Lie soon noticed the youth’s nervousness, so he immediately told him: “Tong Tong be good, turn your head away. It will be done soon. You can look again once it’s finished.”
