Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to turn and leave when she detected something amiss with the room.
There seemed to be someone in the room…
Cheng Xiaoxiao could faintly hear someone moaning. It was so faint that it resembled a kitten’s meowing.
She pricked her ears and listened carefully. Other than the thunderous palpitation of her heart, she could clearly hear the sound of a man gasping deeply in the room.
Cheng Xiaoxiao naturally recognized this sound. She had watched plenty of movies. Also, she knew the voice well since they were together all the time.
Cheng Xiaoxiao didn’t have the same kind of courage as she did when she interrogated Xiao Qin earlier. Now, she didn’t dare to move at all.
This was simply strange. She was terrified of going into the room and didn't dare to confirm the thoughts running through her head.
She ought to run in and interrogate the people inside the room, but she did
In a split second, Chu Yunshen recalled a pair of cunning contrasting eyes and hurriedly lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms.The contrasting cat eyes emerged in his mind and overlapped with the pair of bright beautiful eyes he had been thinking of. The only problem was, this woman in front of him didn't resemble the woman he was thinking about.In that case, who was she?Chu Yunshen felt as though his mind was about to explode as he kept his eyes on the woman wrapped in the blanket. It felt as though he was about to stare a hole right through the woman.The moment Cheng Xiaoxiao saw Chu Yunshen looking at Wan Xia lovingly, she could not bear staying here.Just when she was about to leave, Chu Yunshen finally reacted.Chu Yunshen lifted his foot and kicked Wan Xia off the bed altogether before covering himself with a blanket with only his head showing.Cheng Xiaoxiao was stunned
Cheng Xiaoxiao was spot on. Xiaowu didn't even bother to ask Xiao Yue how she knew about this since it was completely redundant.“Miss Wan Xia, my apologies, but I really need to ask. The lion cat should have been inside His Highness’ room. Why did you take her out? Also, why did you leave the cat outside to play on her own after taking her out?”“The lion cat wasn't alone. I was with her all the time.”Wan Xia kept crying, so Xiao Yue hurriedly made an excuse on her behalf. However, no one caught the vicious look in Wan Xia’s eyes as she lowered her head and used her handkerchief to wipe the tears from her face.When Wan Xia raised her head, she reverted to her pitiful act again. It was impossible for anyone to turn a blind eye when they saw Wan Xia crying. “I simply lost consciousness, but I didn’t lose my memory.”Chu Yunshen finally glanced at Wan Xia, but he was looking at her like she was a rat and
Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't know how to wrap her mind around this. Also, she did not know how to feel about this.For instance, Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't know whether she should be happy or sad now.Although Cheng Xiaoxiao ought to feel glad that Wan Xia was innocent, they were unable to make headway of what happened between Chu Yunshen and Wan Xia. Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't know how to face them and how they would face each other from now on.Cheng Xiaoxiao contemplated as she sat beside the baby bird's cage. Mu Bai and Chu Yunshen continued discussing the matter.“Although there is no poison, I have never encountered such a fragrance before. Why don’t we ask her more?”Since Mu Bai already knew this fragrance was poison-free why did he suggest interrogating Wan Xia? Why was he so interested in a woman's fragrance?After Mu Bai had interrupted Cheng Xiaoxiao’s thoughts she looked at him quizzically. She did not underst
That was right.Cheng Xiaoxiao initially felt Xiao Qin had committed suicide by jumping into the lake, but Wan Xia’s actions were making Cheng Xiaoxiao reconsider the incident.She felt even more certain that someone had made Xiao Qin end up killing herself.After all, Cheng Xiaoxiao knew full well there was more to Xiao Qin’s death. She had seen Xiao Qin’s spirit in Wan Xia’s quarters just 30 minutes ago. Even if Xiao Qin was able to leave the compound, she was in no condition to possess anyone considering her state, let alone move around freely.Moreover, Xiao Qin’s spirit was not whole, so she was delirious.This was simply outrageous! How could they do this to Xiao Qin?Cheng Xiaoxiao trembled just thinking about this.She kept reminding herself not to cry and not to embarrass herself in front of them.For some reason, this didn’t work and even ended up backfirin
Wan Xia sobbed softly as she spoke and turned her head sideways to wipe her tears with her handkerchief.She was beautiful when she cried.Sadly, Cheng Xiaoxiao wasn't going to buy it this time and was completely unmoved.Instead, she was surprised Chu Yunshen would allow them to stay. After she had hinted to Chu Yunshen there was something wrong with Wan Xia, she thought he would simply make an excuse to keep her stay.Never mind. She couldn't be bothered with him now. As long as Wan Xia was not permitted to enter the compound, she had gotten what she wanted. Chu Yunshen didn't respond to Wan Xia. Instead, he went over to the lion cat and squatted down to speak gently, “She isn't going into the compound anymore. What do you want to do now?”From the sound of it, Chu Yunshen was trying to make the lion cat happy.Sadly, Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't fall for it. Cheng Xia
Just as Wan Xia had mentioned, it was a mess inside the compound and there were remnants of food everywhere. Also, the lion cat’s garments and Wan Xia’s clothes were strewn on the table as well.Chu Yunshen promptly frowned as he was finding a clean spot to walk. The lion cat was already standing in the living room and hurrying him along.“Meow!”Did he have to be so slow? Why couldn't he hurry up?Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Yunshen impatiently and felt very annoyed by his OCD for cleanliness.At a time like this, how could Chu Yunshen be bothered by the mess? He clearly didn't have a problem when he took the jade box when it was covered by her saliva.Chu Yunshen looked at the lion cat who was growing increasingly annoyed. He lowered his head and looked at the ground where there wasn't a single clean spot for him to walk. Then he gritted his teeth and walked in. Wan Xia was briefly stunned
Xiao Qin was attracted to Xiao Yue’s screaming. Just as Xiao Qin was about to fly towards Wan Xia, Cheng Xiaoxiao hurriedly told her to stop. “All of them can see you now, including Chu Yunshen who is dressed in black.”Xiao Qin promptly turned to look at Chu Yunshen. Chu Yunshen and Xiaowu had already noticed Xiao Qin’s legs floating in mid-air. Xiaowu quickly stood in front of Chu Yunshen to protect him. “Listen. I need you to tell His Highness everything you know about Wan Xia so that I can help you seek revenge.”Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to say more, but she knew now was not the time to rush into things. Now that Xiao Qin’s spirit was whole again, she was considered a malicious spirit and ghosts tended to be volatile in nature. Cheng Xiaoxiao was terrified that she might agitate Xiao Qin if she said the wrong things. Although Cheng Xiaoxiao was confident about staying safe, she could not promise the s
Wan Xia wanted to ignore Xiaowu and continued looking at Chu Yunshen. Sadly, Chu Yunshen simply kept looking at the cabinet without so much as looking at her. Chu Yunshen turned the ancient copper handle on the cabinet and the cabinet slowly slid sideways to reveal a dark room behind it. The moment Xiao Qin saw the room, she retreated a few steps fearfully as she stammered, “When… when I fell sick, Miss Wan Xia would bring me here every now and then. With each trip, I became worse…”Xiao Qin halted. She was standing at the room’s entrance a good distance away from the small room. “Your Highness, I really don’t dare to go in there…”“It’s fine.”Chu Yunshen waved his hand nonchalantly before turning to look at the little room.Xiao Qin happily thanked Chu Yunshen from behind, “Thank you, Your Highness. I will be right here waiting for you.”In reality, Cheng Xiaoxiao coul
As it turns out, a trick can lose its effectiveness after a while.The lion cat's eyes were blinking painfully, and the corners of his eyes were nearly cramped, but Chu Yunshen still had that impassive look, not even moving his eyebrows.Okay, you're tough! I say you're tough, and not a flabby earwig!The lion cat suddenly froze in his tracks, a mist rising quickly from his heterochromatic eyes.The watery eyes looked like oceans of water, and this transformation managed to scare Chu Yunshen's eyes.Chu Yunshen reached out his hand to hug the lion cat, but was stopped by the helpless expression on the lion cat's stubbornly tilted little face.A light coughing sound ended and the man's somewhat dry voice rang out:"To the Returning Sun Desert, it's windy and sandy out there."It's windy and sandy. - So?Can't you see I've got a cramp in my eye? I'm having a hard time!Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't understand what Chu Yunshen was tal
Yun Shen, what do you think about this matter?The lion cat cheered for Chu Yunshen while frantically questioning him with his eyes.What's he doing here again? You're Chu, why don't you do something?"Why don't I go to the meeting?"Mu Bai, the chatterbox, couldn't help himself, he raised his eyebrows, squinted those peach blossom eyes with interest, and said to the blackbird outside the window:"It's strange though, seeing as how it's been following us for some time now, it didn't make a move on me just now."As he spoke, he suddenly revealed an evil smile to Chu Yunshen: "It's rather like those wild bees and butterflies that chased you back then, following you over and doing nothing, but it's indeed endless."That was more than enough to make the lion cat's eyes light up.She carefully sized up Mu Bai once more, and after realizing that the other party did not look like she was joking, she jerked her head up to look at Chu Yunshen a
The lion cat looked wan and hid in Chu Yunshen's arms reflecting on her flow, not understanding just how outstanding her beauty was to be able to make even a bird so moved.Such a relentless pursuit, I'm afraid that the love is so deep that I can't even let go. Really make people head big, is not only can blame Cheng Xiaoxiao this damn charm.Blame her. Blame her for being overly beautiful.Shaking her head helplessly was just futile, Cheng Xiaoxiao still needed to give some feedback to this kind of 'avid suitor', or else if she went more and more overboard later on and did other excessive things, wouldn't it be an irresponsible behavior for everyone.Said Cheng Xiaoxiao herself was touched, she almost believed that what she had just thought was true.It's not like they don't want to go head-to-head again, at least not right now, and not want to get into any more trouble.Songtao's injuries are still not healed, Cheng Xiaoxiao herself has only jus
Every year the whole capital half of the people will come to the show, it is said that one year even the long-lasting master Chu Hongzhen have come out to see the final field in private clothes.If this token was really useful, then did this group of people intend to let him participate in the Poetry Festival?The more Ren Yanlai thought about it, the more he felt that this was more likely.After all, it wasn't as if he hadn't thought of this method before, and as long as he won the Poetry Conference at the Wangjing Teahouse in one fell swoop, he would surely be a sensation in the capital.When that time comes when everyone in the capital knows about it, he won't need to go around looking for people to line up scrolls everywhere.Only this idea was later dismissed by him, and the reason was also very simple, he did not even have the money to attend the tea house poetry party.The entry fee for the Wangjing Teahouse could not be taken on credit and
Later on, she was able to react a bit more and needed to organize her head, which was why she sized up Chu Yunshen and refused to go over.It wasn't until Chu Yunshen approached her that she smelled that all too familiar grassy fragrance.A person's olfactory memory tends to be more immediate and deeper than other memories.Only in that moment emotions swept over her like a tidal wave, all the memories of Chu Yunshen and all the things she had crossed over surrounded her quickly.Including the voice she heard in the nothingness, she also reacted to the fact that the person was Chu Yunshen.At that moment Cheng Xiaoxiao only thought of getting close to Chu Yunshen immediately, so she couldn't help but reveal her lion cat nature.Carelessness is carelessness.The lion cat that was lying in Chu Yunshen's arms again still felt slightly humiliated, she rubbed her burning face with her paws and was a little embarrassed to look up at Chu Yunshen.
The black bird snapped its head up, tilted its head back to open its beak wide, and gave a hawkish cry to the sky.This time, the eagle's cry was different from the two sounds that Chu Yunshen had just heard, originally, as long as the black bird cried, the lion cat would tremble and then enter into a state of response to the enemy.However, this did not have any effect on Chu Yunshen, he just felt it was a bit jarring to his ears.Now it's different.As soon as the black bird's voice came out, the lion cat was again in the same fried state it was in just now, and Chu Yunshen and the others covered their ears with it.Chu Yunshen couldn't spare his hands as he hugged the lion cat, and his reaction was indeed smaller.He held the lion cat in one hand, while gazing at his breath and pressing the tip of his tongue dead center against his palate. From his tense facial expression, one could tell that he would be in a state where he wouldn't dare to rel
If you ask Cheng Xiaoxia if she's happy eating now, she also thinks it's quite okay.It was just that she always felt that her back was hairy, as if a camera had been installed and someone was always watching her and Chu Yunshen.This time Cheng Xiaoxiao's intuition really didn't go wrong, not only this time, but yesterday's rain her sudden freeze was also not an illusion.The cause of it all was now stretching its wings on that bough, and it hopped and jumped from one branch to the other, looking no different from the little bird that had been squawking.However, nothing is as it seems.If it was really that bland, then Cheng Xiaoxiao wouldn't have reacted so strongly.The bowl of milky paste dwindled, and the lion cat's consciousness drifted away again.The black bird on the boughs of the tree had stopped hopping at some point, and it paid unseeing attention to that direction of the lion cat, with a strange glint in its eyes and a hint of
Songtao did things neatly, plus this was the first time Ren Yanlai had eaten and drunk enough in days and slept well, so this series of actions did not wake him up.Not only that, Ren Yanlai did not even change the sleeping position, only to maintain that side lying position until the dawn descends.As soon as dawn broke outside the broken temple, the light outside brightened up a little.The heavy rain had stopped at some point, and an unknown bird made a twittering sound on the dead tree outside the broken temple, which sounded quite cheerful, but was quickly replaced by a wail, and the original leaping instantly came to an abrupt end.Fixed his eyes to see, is that has been making noise of the bird was a black bird hard peck, scared feathers trembling, fluttering wings hurriedly flew away, the joyful bird call also naturally disappeared.The blackbird cast another oblique glance at the other birds lingering on the boughs of the tree, and wondered how
The danfeng eyes were even darker, and the eyes that looked at Ren Yanlai did not have the same indifference as a moment ago, Chu Yunshen's face was expressionless as he opened his mouth at the right time, "Xiaoxiao, you can't sit for a long time after eating, get up and move around.""Since when did we have this extra rule in our house?"Cheng Xiaoxiao was a bit bewildered, tilting her head to carefully survey Chu Yunshen, until she looked Chu Yunshen to the point of being uncomfortable she didn't withdraw her eyes.Let's just say that Chu Yunshen was out of sorts tonight, earlier she was being gentle with Ren Yanlai and now she was making demands on her.Just now I was allowed to have an extra bowl of soup, but now I'm being so harsh."All the time."When he heard Cheng Xiaoxiao's soft voice say the words 'our family', Chu Yunshen's heart jumped uncontrollably, and his danfeng eyes rose slightly with it.However, he still said those words
