"Oh, do you mean Prince Jing, the most handsome man in Chu?"
De Ertai didn't want to make the relations so awkward between them. Now that Gu Hunge tried to divert their attention to amend the atmosphere, De Ertai continued the conversation matter-of-factly.
"Yes, that's him! Everyone in the market is talking about him. The beautiful county princess died in his residence. I heard that the prince has a weird fetish, and the county princess died after being tortured by him. That's why he quickly sent her away and quietly buried her."
Gu Hunge loved to listen to the gossip that was circulating on the streets. Moreover, this was related to the royal family of Chu.
"Just stop. How can you believe such a thing?"
He Lulu was not too far away from them although he hid in the corner with the Persian cat in his arms. Furthermore, he was adjusting his mood while observing the situation at De Ertai's side.
Howev
He Lulu was still arguing with De Ertai. Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't expect that the Hu merchants intended to start a circus team because of her.And did they intend to use her as their cash cow?When Cheng Xiaoxiao thought of the dirty little animals in the circus that were ill-treated, she wanted to spit at them.This time, Cheng Xiaoxiao had no time to think about Chu Yunshen. She secretly pricked up her ears and listened carefully to their conversation, but in her heart, she was thinking about how to sneak out of this place when the men were not keeping an eye on her.Although she was very angry, she had to be with them for the time being! At the very least, they should not sell her away today. Otherwise, how could she escape later?Cheng Xiaoxiao prayed silently in her heart, but she inadvertently found that her body was not as stiff as before, and she began to feel a little refreshed.It was a good
"Relax, it's just a normal reaction. I'll go and get her some antidote so that she can recover faster." De Ertai assured while letting go of the Persian cat's head."Hurry up then!" He Lulu urged matter-of-factly. Then, he muttered to himself, "Is the antidote enough? Should I prepare something else?""But if we give her the antidote now, we still need to drug her later, right? Isn't it a little troublesome?"De Ertai mouthed although he disagreed with He Lulu's method."Let her rest for the time being! After all, she has been performing for quite a while today." He Lulu knew what De Ertai was trying to tell him. He pondered for a moment before stating his opinion.Did they want to drug her again?No way! She must escape before they did it again!Cheng Xiaoxiao did not expect the Hu merchants to be so ruthless. She had just woken up, but they planned to drug her again! Recalling He Lulu
This wouldn't work. Despite its low volume, the sound was too shrill and deafening.Chu Yunshen and the others could not hear her, but it was so loud that it brought goosebumps all over Cheng Xiaoxiao's body. Even her dizziness eased a little.Since she was feeling better now, she would not knock on the door. It was quite embarrassing.Cheng Xiaoxiao grunted about her actions just now, and then she quietly retreated to the open space several meters away from the wall and stood still. Then, she ran and jumped onto the wall.The landing was perfect!At this time, Cheng Xiaoxiao was very proud of herself.However, her smugness did not hold on for very long. In the next second, she felt dizzy and then fell off the wall like a kite with a broken string.She was done for. This time, she would definitely fall miserably.At the last moment when she fell, Cheng Xiaoxiao was secretly
"C-C-Can you stop crying..."Chu Yunshen was so surprised by Cheng Xiaoxiao's tears that he almost bit his tongue. He frantically went forward to grab Cheng Xiaoxiao's clothes, trying to pull her up from the ground.However, Cheng Xiaoxiao wouldn't budge, and she didn't mean it. At this moment, Cheng Xiaoxiao was so confused and fuzzy that all she could think of was Chu Yunshen did not want her anymore, and she wanted to cry to her heart's content because of this. She couldn't be bothered with anything else.Chu Yunshen tried to pull Cheng Xiaoxiao up, but she waved her arms around and stopped him."You did it on purpose! Yes, you did!" She wailed.Befuddled, Chu Yunshen stared at Cheng Xiaoxiao, who was almost half lying on the ground, and felt his head aching. He changed another method and carried her up in his arms.This time, Cheng Xiaoxiao finally stopped resisting. She stopped crying and tried
"What's wrong with you?"Chu Yunshen regained his composure once again. He frowned and his thick eyebrows deeply knitted together as he thought of the warmth he felt when he touched Cheng Xiaoxiao's hand and the heat when she hugged him tightly with her petite arms. His thin lips were tightly pursed as he waited for Cheng Xiaoxiao's answer."Me? What?"Cheng Xiaoxiao still nodded rhythmically. She slowly repeated Chu Yunshen's words, but only a few words that couldn't make up a sentence.Chu Yunshen finally understood that Cheng Xiaoxiao could not answer his question normally, and there he was, asking her questions and talking to her earnestly."I'll take you to rest."Chu Yunshen, whose hands were tied, compromised, and a trace of helplessness was obvious in his tone."Me? Rest?" Cheng Xiaoxiao pointed at her own chest, and the rhythm of this movement was basically the same as her nod.
"Why don't you ask me why you can call me Xiaoxiao?"Cheng Xiaoxiao patted Chu Yunshen's arm with dissatisfaction just as Chu Yunshen was estimating the size of her palms with his eyes.It was also Cheng Xiaoxiao's hazy shout that pulled Chu Yunshen back from these strange thoughts. How could he have such a rude idea? Moreover, he could not tell whether this woman was human or demon, and he only knew her name now.Chu Yunshen shifted his gaze to somewhere else and cleared his throat before asking the question."Okay. Why did you allow me to call you Xiaoxiao?""Hehehe..."Cheng Xiaoxiao giggled foolishly again instead of answering his question immediately. Only after she laughed for a while did she mysteriously hook her index finger at Chu Yunshen, indicating for him to come closer.Chu Yunshen was hesitating whether he should get closer to Cheng Xiaoxiao or not. His concern was justifi
"Check her condition."Chu Yunshen stood not far from the door and instructed indifferently. He did not look at Mu Bai, who was soaking his feet in a dark black potion that was filled with strange medicinal herbs."Carry her over then. I need to soak for another hour."Mu Bai ordered directly too. Unlike Xiaowu and the others, although he was also Chu Yunshen's subordinate, more often than not, Mu Bai and Chu Yunshen were more like friends who could talk about everything under the sun.Chu Yunshen admired Mu Bai's medical skills, and Mu Bai cherished Chu Yunshen's appreciation of him.Therefore, sometimes, Chu Yunshen would tease Mu Bai when he was in a good mood. Although Mu Bai would address Chu Yunshen as "Master", he would be a little overboard at times. Because of this, Xiaowu confronted Mu Bai and reprimanded him, and the matter ended with Xiaowu lying on the ground with white foams at his mouth after bein
"Master? Have you seen this?"Mu Bai was puzzled at Chu Yunshen's absent-mindedness and asked him again. He also moved the handkerchief closer to Chu Yunshen."Is this the drug you just mentioned?"It just so happened that he could divert his attention. Chu Yunshen quickly focused on the topic and began to seriously discuss it with Mu Bai. In order to prove that he was too busy to pay attention to the Persian cat rather than pretending to ignore her, he took the handkerchief from Mu Bai and carefully examined it.Mu Bai stared at Chu Yunshen in confusion, wondering why the latter looked a little too enthusiastic and sounded a little urgent.Not only Mu Bai, but Cheng Xiaoxiao also shared the same thought.She knew that Chu Yunshen was investigating a serious business. Therefore, she lay in Chu Yunshen's embrace quietly although she had no idea that this was the drug she had just mentioned and did no
