Chapter 40 – Fairy Tales Are All Lies (40)
Looking at the fear surging in the former Empress’s eyes, Xiuyin chuckled lightly, propped his chin with one hand, lowered his body slightly, and with the other hand lifted the chin of the delicate girl kneeling beside him.
The girl was startled, originally in a state of fear, but the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. Before her emotions could settle, she met Xiuyin’s azure eyes.
Her cheeks blushed involuntarily, and she lowered her gaze slightly, her eyelashes trembling faintly.
This scene, however, brought a trace of disgust to Xiuyin’s eyes, making him even more irritable. He casually threw the girl aside.
The former Empress looked at the girl with black hair and eyes now lying on the ground, looking dazed and afraid to speak, and a new thought flashed in her mind.
“Do you really think I’m foolish enough to fall into your trap and gather everyone here? I remember… you were quite interested in that vase named Yan Luo, weren’t you?” Malice flickered in the former Empress’s eyes.
This made Yan Luo realize what was going on in her residence.
Xiuyin, on the other hand, was indeed completely different from what she had imagined. Regarding the matter of his blackening value, she believed she could still struggle and bring their relationship back on track.
[Host, it’s good that you finally figured it out.]
Yan Luo’s eyes flashed with a faint light. She planned to continue listening and then seize a suitable moment to intervene.
Little Pink’s voice echoed immediately, [Host, be careful!]
Yan Luo only saw a black shadow, and then her mouth and nose were covered, and she was pulled backward!
In the main hall, Xiuyin lowered his eyes slightly, chuckled softly, and said, “So, do I look stupid like you?”
“Don’t be too proud too soon. Perhaps you really have no feelings for that little girl? If not…” The former Empress maliciously smiled, leaving the sentence unfinished, observing the girls with uniform hair and eye colors without continuing to speak.
“Do you want to divert our attention so we don’t lay hands on that girl? Xiuyin, you’re truly foolish in this move.”
As the former Empress was saying this, a person with a serious expression rushed in, whispered a few words to Xiuyin, and his expression immediately changed.
The former Empress laughed again, “Judging by your expression, it seems we’ve succeeded…”
Before she could finish speaking, another person rushed in, covered in blood and in a sorry state. Upon seeing the former Empress, he knelt down abruptly, “Your Highness, the mission failed, our actions have been exposed.”
“How is that possible?!” The former Empress widened her eyes in disbelief, her voice sharp and hoarse.
Xiuyin lowered his head slightly, his golden hair covering his eyes, casting a shadow. With a *swipe* sound, he drew the sword at his side.
The sharp blade emitted a cold light, and a suppressed aura spread.
Clearly frightened by Xiuyin’s momentum, and with the advantage not in her hands, the former Empress panicked and shouted, “Yan Jiang, Yan Jiang?!”
Her hoarse and panicked voice echoed in the grand hall.
Not long after, another voice sounded from the side, with a hint of a smile, “Your Highness, I’m sorry, it seems our deal… is no longer necessary.”
After all, he had already found his Luoluo…
The people who had followed the former Empress slowly retreated, exposing the terrified former Empress.
“What did you say?!”
Ignoring her screams, the sound of boots stepping on the ground echoed.
“My lovely Luoluo, did you see that? Isn’t Brother the best to you?”
