“Why are you here?” Chu Liuyue relaxed, and her tone became much friendlier. Even though this white lion looked extremely ferocious, she could feel that it was very close to her; it had even reduced the domineering fiend aura around it.
The white lion got up and jumped down from its bed, silently coming to Chu Liuyue’s side. Its body was very big and bulky. In front of it, the originally thin Chu Liuyue looked even more petite, as if it could easily swallow her whole in one bite.
Even the entire room seemed much narrower.
Xue Xue’s icy-blue eyes blinked, and it lowered its large head, swaying by Chu Liuyue’s hand.
Chu Liuyue was slightly taken aback and could not figure out what it wanted.
As she did not budge, Xue Xue inched closer toward her and raised its head to look at her with its eyes wide open.
Chu Liuyue’s eyes twitched.
She tentatively stuck out her hand and placed it on the lion’s head to caress it gently. The unbelievably soft fur was great to touch; one could tell that it had lived a great life since it had such valuable fur.
Xue Xue then closed its eyes in satisfaction and stretched its body. It wagged its tail and groaned in pleasure.
Chu Liuyue was speechless.
“Hey, shouldn’t you return to your master? Why are you sticking to me?”
However, Xue Xue did not mind her at all; its closed eyes did not move as if it really fell asleep.
Chu Liuyue was caught between laughter and tears. Although she did not know the white lion’s intentions, the sky was already very dark, and if she insisted on it going back, it might cause some commotion.
By then, things would be even more problematic.
After thinking for a while, Chu Liuyue decided not to be conflicted about this anymore. She patted its head gently and climbed up the bed to rest on her own.
When she touched the blanket, she noticed that it was warm.
A thought flashed across her mind.The next moment, she could not help but laugh.
“If you really must stay here, promise me that you won’t let anyone else find out.”
Xue Xue opened its eyes and wagged its tail happily.
Chu Liuyue lay on the bed and went through her to-do list for the next day before she slowly drifted off to sleep.
When she gradually fell into a deep sleep, the white lionwhich seemed to have fallen asleep much earlierslowly opened its eyes and looked at Chu Liuyue.
Nobody knew what she dreamt of, but her eyebrows on her small face were tightly knitted; her forehead broke out into numerous droplets of cold sweat, and her lips were pale.
A silver light glowed from Xue Xue’s body and seeped into Chu Liuyue’s body slowly and silently.
In her sleep, Chu Liuyue just felt that her body was immersed in a pool of warm water, and it was very relaxing and comfortable. Then, she slowly relaxed her eyebrows and slept peacefully.
When Chu Liuyue was sleeping peacefully, there was someone who could not fall asleep at allChu Xianmin.
“Say it! What exactly is going on?”
In Ting Fang Court, the main door was tightly shut.
Chu Xianmin glared at the man kneeling before her, trying her best to control her anger.
“This I Third Missy, I have already investigated it in detail, but I really can’t find out the whereabouts of the Song Lian trio.” Chu Liansheng’s back broke out into a cold sweat.
“How could this be possible?” Chu Xianmin’s sharp shrill voice interrupted his words. “The plan was perfect; it had no loopholes at all. Once Chu Liuyue stepped out of the door, she should have been directly hit unconscious and brought to Lin Zhong. That’s it! Initially, you were the one who said that Song Lian was already a level three martial artist and that he wouldn’t have a problem with dealing with a mere Chu Liuyue. What about now? Chu Liuyue didn’t die, and even the Song Lian trio went missing! Is this how you complete your tasks?”
“Third Missy, that should logically be correct. I personally witnessed them bringing Chu Liuyue out of the city gates, b-but who would have thought that she wouldn’t die?”
When he found out that Chu Liuyue came back alive, he felt that something was amiss and immediately went to trace the Song Lian trio’s whereabouts. However, even when he had flipped the entire city upside down, the trio seemed to have disappeared into thin air. He then noticed that something was wrong.
“She must have known that I planned it,” said Chu Xianmin with hatred. She was frustrated beyond words when thinking about how she was previously stunned by a mere gaze from Chu Liuyue.
“Third Missy, so what if she knows? She’s just a good-for-nothing. What else can she do?”
“Are you dumb? If she really didn’t do anything, then how did Song Lian and the rest go missing?”
Chu Liansheng did not dare to utter another word.
