“The news of you working together with the Dukes of the East and South has already been known to the West Duke a long time ago. All he has done today is to counter your schemes with his own, and to let you have a taste of your own medicine. If you kill me, the next person to be killed will be you. The West Duke will never let you leave this place alive!”
Lady Mei’s face paled. She finally realized that she had walked into a huge trap. The West Duke had great schemes indeed. He had been acting all this while.
“Elder Sister Mei’er, the West Duke’s mind and actions will always be beyond the Dukes of the East and South. In the future, he will inevitably overcome all obstacles to stand at the peak. If you choose the wrong side, you will end up dragging Ah Jiao’s Room down with you. How many sisters do you want to sacrifice in this political battle!”
“Enough!” Lady Mei shouted, as she dug the sharp knife into Jun Xiqing’s soft neck. “Since I’m going to die anyway, I’ll kill you off first.”
“Elder Sister Mei’er, I can teach you.”
I can teach you…
Lady Mei jolted, then looked at Jun Xiqing in surprise. This 18 year old boy held absolutely no fear in the face of death. Her black eyes shone calmly, like spring waters, and had a certain allure to it.
Lady Mei thought this was very funny, and refused to believe her. “Little brother, the West Duke is waiting outside with Fan Men. You won’t be able to handle those two experts. How are you going to save me?”
Jun Xiqing smiled. “If I say that I can save you, it means that I can save you.”
…
Outside the tent.
Fan Men looked at Tang Chenyi. “Duke, let’s move.”
Tang Chenyi stood there, his deep, cold eyes looking lightly at the tent. Yes, he had teased the little boy inside before and had even hugged him, but he was just bored and trying to kill time. There was no way he could change the fate of this chess piece.
Tang Chenyi frowned and gestured with a cold expression. Fan Men took out a gun and pointed it at the tent, getting ready to shoot.
“Hold on!”
At this moment, Jun Xiqing exited the tent. Lady Mei’s knife was still on her throat, subduing her.
Jun Xiqing looked at Tang Chenyi. “West Duke, you owe me a life today. I’ll remember this debt!”
Tang Chenyi’s eyes lit up. He had always felt that this little boy was interesting. His thin lips curved upwards. “Are those your last words? How about… I let you make a wish? What wish do you have that is yet to be fulfilled? I’ll fulfill it for you.”
Jun Xiqing raised her eyebrows, her gentle gaze turning sharp and cold. She enunciated her words clearly. “I want you to live as long as you can. Your life is mine!”
To think he was already so savage at such a young age. Tang Chenyi lifted his handsome brows and laughed lightly before saying, “You can send them off now.”
“Yes, Duke.” Fan Men turned the gun to Jun Xiqing’s head and slowly pressed the trigger.
Lady Mei who was standing behind her was stunned, and quickly said in a small voice, “Fan Men is about to kill us. Quick, think of something.”
Jun Xiqing’s eyelashes quivered and she shut her eyes slowly. Her lips moved as she murmured something quickly.
Suddenly, there was a howl.
“Wolf! The wolves are coming!”
Someone screamed.Tang Chenyi raised his eyes, and saw a pair of dark green eyes emerge from the dark. It really was a wolf!
Why would a wolf come here?
At this moment, Jun Xiqing’s flicked something off her fingers. A smoke grenade flew out and exploded with a bang.
After a few seconds, the smoke lifted, but Jun Xiqing and Lady Mei were gone.
Where were they?
Tang Chenyi’s handsome face turned cold.
“Duke, I guess they’re not fated to die today. The appearance of the wolf saved them!” Fan Men said in a low voice.
Tang Chenyi threw Fan Men a look. “You think that the appearance of the wolf was a coincidence?”
Fan Men jolted. “Duke, what you’re saying is…”
“Fan Men, have you heard of… wolf whisperers?”
Wolf whisperers?
Fan Men’s expression changed. It was once written in an ancient text that a few thousand years ago, a country had obtained a secret skill, which allowed them to tame the wolves on the grasslands. From then on, they set up an invincible calvary of wolves.
Was it possible that after a few thousand years, this skill had emerged once again, and there were wolf whisperers in this world once again?
Fan Men shook his head. “Duke, I think the chances are fairly slim.”
Tang Chenyi considered this for a second, his handsome face betraying not a single trace of emotion. “There’s no need to chase them. Let’s return to Garden Lanshan immediately.”
…
Deep in the forest.
“Ah!”
Mei’er shrieks rose one after another, so shrill they could almost pierce the clouds.
After a while, everything stopped and the wolf beneath her came to a stop as well.
She was sitting on a wolf!
When the smoke grenade was thrown out just now, a wolf had jumped over to them. Jun Xiqing had grabbed hold of her hand and jumped onto the wolf. The wolf had then ran away with them and they were gone like the wind.
Mei’er never thought that she would one day be riding a wolf… how unbelievable!
At this moment, Jun Xiqing jumped down. Her long, silky hair cascaded down her back, revealing her breathtakingly beautiful face.
Jun Xiqing took off her outercoat and her shoes and stepped onto the loose soil with her pale feet. Her white mesh dress swayed against the ground. She was stunning.
She walked forward and reached out with her small hands to stroke the wolf. “Baby, you’ve done well.”
The ferocious wolf gave Jun Xiqing a look as gentle and warm as a lamb, and rubbed against her small hands.
Mei’er was speechless.
She looked on with fear at the side. “Little Brother, why is this wolf listening to you? Who… exactly are you?”
The final words got stuck in Mei’er’s throat, as Jun Xiqing around to face her, revealing her true self.
Oh god.
Mei’er sucked in a breath of cold air. It was as though she had forgotten how to breathe.
Her beauty was beyond anything she had ever seen before, enough to bring entire cities down to their knees.
Mei’er had never seen such a beautiful woman before.
“You… you, you, you, you’re a girl!” Mei’er stammered.
Jun Xiqing stepped on the loose soil, but her feet remained untainted. Every step she took was delicate and graceful. “Elder Sister Mei’er, I’ve already saved you. You can leave now. You’ll be safe as long as you get back to Ah Jiao.
“Ah Jiao’s Room has only been attending to rich and influential CEOs all these years. I believe that Elder Sister Mei’er will be able to easily coerce one of them into clearing your name and dealing with this situation.”
Mei’er looked at Jun Xiqing, stunned. After a long while, she finally regained her composure and said, “I never thought that I would be fated to meet with such a beautiful lady today. Let me have a feel. Are you really a girl?”
Mei’er reached towards Jun Xiqing’s chest.
“Elder Sister Mei’er, what are you doing?” Jun Xiqing covered her chest quickly.
Huff…
Mei’er laughed. She was unbelievably courageous and unfazed in the face of death and extremely intelligent, but when faced with the matters between a man and a woman, this beautiful young woman immediately changed into another person. She became innocent and sweet, and was very pure.
