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
Xiao Yue spoke very softly, but Cheng Xiaoxiao heard everything since she was a lion cat. Xiaowu and Chu Yunshen were highly skilled martial artists, so the three of them heard every word they said.Xiaowu sighed as he shook his head while he stood behind Wan Xia. A light glinted in Chu Yunshen’s eyes briefly. He seemed puzzled by Xiao Yue’s loyalty towards Wan Xia. Cheng Xiaoxiao did not turn back and simply scoffed.In her eyes, Wan Xia was a cold-blooded animal. Even though Xiao Yue was willing to die for her, Cheng Xiaoxiao knew Wan Xia probably didn't care and would even use Xiao Yue because she was loyal.Sadly, Cheng Xiaoxiao did not turn back, so she failed to see the look of surprise on Wan Xia’s face. Also, she did not see her voluntarily reaching her hand out to pat Xiao Yue on the back of her hand to comfort her.“Silly lass. Everything will be fine.”Everyone heard what Wan Xia said.
The moment Xiao Yue heard what Xiaowu said, she was genuinely stunned. It was unclear if she was afraid of getting jailed or if she couldn’t believe what Wan Xia had just said. Wan Xia had already left with Xiaowu. Her lips moved when she walked past Xiao Qin, but she ended up not saying a word. Xiao Qin bowed to Wan Xia and said: "Miss Wan Xia, take care."Cheng Xiaoxiao watched as Wan Xia got taken to prison by Xiaowu. Even though it was a joyous moment, she couldn't help feeling dejected.She felt empty inside and was at a loss.She didn't know what she should do now and didn't know how to face Chu Yunshen either. “I am going to the prison.”After Chu Yunshen finished his sentence, he left the room and followed behind Xiaowu. Xiao Qin and the lion cat sat in the room and looked at each other. Oh yes! Xiao Yue had yet to snap out of her shock and was still in the room.
Xiaowu went over to Chu Yunshen and wanted to tell Chu Yunshen something, but Wan Xia scoffed mockingly, “Your Highness, since you are a busy man, a lot of things in things probably slipped your mind. I think you have probably forgotten about Wan Yun, right?”Xiaowu wanted to report matters to Chu Yunshen, but Wan Xia’s words left him stunned. “Wan Yun was my little sister! She was my biological little sister!”Wan Xia had already gotten up from the ground. Her face no longer looked as sinister. She simply charged towards the wooden bars in front of her and shouted to Chu Yunshen. “Miss Wan Xia…” Xiaowu felt sorry for Wan Xia when she suddenly went crazy. He contemplated before he decided to convince her to stop it.“What? Do you remember now?”Wan Xia refused to take Xiaowu’s advice. She held the wooden bars so tightly that some splinters had stabbed into her flesh making her bleed, but she stood where
Cheng Xiaoxiao seemed a little excited when she went to the prison even though she did not notice it. Instead, she kept complaining about Xiao Qin.“I don't know what came over you. You want to see her one last time, so why send me to do it? I really don't know what you are thinking…”Cheng Xiaoxiao’s muttering came to an abrupt halt when she arrived at the jail cell with Wan Xia inside. It suddenly felt as though her legs were filled with lead and it was impossible for her to take a single step.She swallowed her saliva with great difficulty as she kept cursing Xiao Qin inside her heart.What was Xiao Qin trying to do? Why did she send a lion cat into the prison? It wasn't like she could talk, so it was impossible for her to pass any messages.Should she write it on the ground? Probably not…Cheng Xiaoxiao walked around the damaged wooden table a few times but refused to come close to Wan Xia. She even lo
Cheng Xiaoxiao had learned many things and experienced a lot of plot twists today, so it was hard for her brain to stay rational. Cheng Xiaoxiao was keenly aware no matter whatever intelligence she had, it was useless against Wan Xia. Even someone a smart as Chu Yunshen had fallen for Wan Xia’s schemes, let alone someone as stupid as Cheng Xiaoxiao.As the saying went, there was no escape for men when it came to gorgeous women.For some reason, Cheng Xiaoxiao felt very distracted as she listened to Wan Xia.“I really don't understand why you like him.”The moment Wan Xia uttered those words, it felt as though fireworks exploded in this peaceful night with a thunderous bang making Cheng Xiaoxiao’s last bit of rationality blow up in flames.The lion cat hastily turned to glare at Wan Xia with her furry ears blushing crimson.“You are feeling shy,” said Wan Xia mildly with certainty.
Cheng Xiaoxiao was startled by her imagination. After all, Wan Xia seemed to be the mastermind for now. If they found out someone else was behind everything, Chu Yunshen would remain in grave danger.Even if they had apprehended Wan Xia for now, who's to say there wouldn't be more to come?Moreover, they didn't know what Wan Xia’s true intentions were at all. Did she simply want to seduce Chu Yunshen, become his woman, and gain power in the residence?Was she planning to get Chu Yunshen to do things for her after becoming his woman?Cheng Xiaoxiao knew this was a particularly serious matter. She continued pretending to listen to this story engrossingly as she thought about how to tell Chu Yunshen about this.No matter how Cheng Xiaoxiao felt about this, it was better to be safe than sorry.Wan Xia didn't notice anything amiss with the lion cat, so she simply continued with her story.“She was
That night, Cheng Xiaoxiao did not sleep much. As soon as she fell asleep, her mind would be flooded with countless images appearing in front of her eyes.Those images were Cheng Xiaoxiao's memories, and there was a recent scene of Wan Xia curled up on the ground with her arms around in the cell.Further ahead was Chu Yunshen's bare back, and most were images of them together.What's more, even the scene of Wan Yun cooling the steamed milk pudding for Cheng Xiaoxiao appeared as well.At once, Cheng Xiaoxiao was so disturbed by these memories that her mind was buzzing. Soon, she felt better and thought she could finally get some sleep. But right at that moment, Chu Yunshen, who was enveloped in a cold aura, came in with Xiaowu.It was still early in the morning, and the sun had just risen. Still feeling drowsy, Cheng Xiaoxiao could only vaguely hear Xiaowu reporting some matters to Chu Yunshen in a rush as they e
