Chapter 687 “Can’t Let Her Live (10)”
Patting that hand to remove the dust from her hand, Bai Yan watches from behind as her two shifus carried off the assassin and pill in order to conduct their own business.
“I should go look for Xiachen too, it’s getting late and the little rascal must be getting into so much trouble right now.” She murmurs this to herself, afraid what might become of the city if she doesn’t retrieve her son soon.
………..
The Ho household.
Currently standing in front of a full-length mirror was Ho Cui Cui. The girl’s currently measuring up her newfound figure with satisfaction and glee.
“Who?” ”
Suddenly, a movement near the doorway had caught the girl’s attention, causing her to swing herself around to peer over in the direction. To her surprise, it was a small little fox that instantly won her heart over under the glistening sun.
Though she could easily recognize it as being the very same one who harmed herself at the restaurant, no female could possibly endure this level of cuddliness.
Fine, I won’t blame you since you are so cute. Now you just need to be my pet.
“Oh little fox, I didn’t even go looking for you and now you’re knocking at my door on your own?” Smiling right up to her eyes, Ho Cui Cui’s existence exuded an aura of deviousness as she got closer to the little guy. “Be happy, I am a kindhearted person, as long as you become my pet then I can ignore the fact that you hurt me.”
Just bringing such a cute fox out as a pet is enough to make others jealous of me.
But just as the girl’s hand was about to touch the fox’s face, that’s when Bai Xiachen did the unexpected and bit her fingers hard!
“Ah!” Screaming out in pain, the former chubby girl hurries to retract that hand. Infuriated in her voice: “Damn fox, how dare you ignore my goodwill! I’m telling you now, I am the benefactor of that Huan Yin so you better not go against me!”
In order to not let Ho Cui Cui be exposed, Mu Leng had more than once instilled the idea into her brain that she’s the one who jumped into the river. Over time, the lie had become a fact in this delusionary girl’s head.
To be clear, though Huan Yin herself wasn’t capable of cultivating due to her body at birth, it still doesn’t change the fact that the Mirage household was one of the four major families within the Misty Fairy House. And to be able to reach such height meant they aren’t to be trifled with, even for the leading family.
For Bai Xiachen who witnessed everything on the boat that day, he naturally showed a dubious face over the claim.
Huan Yin? Isn’t she the woman who Mother saved that day in the river?
But isn’t the benefactor supposed to be Mother? How did it become this person here instead?
Not waiting for the little fox to understand, Ho Cui Cui has already taken a bag from the side in order to sack the kid. But that’s not going to work against an agile and flexible fox would it?
Swinging to the side in a smooth dodging motion, Bai Xiachen retaliates with a razor sharp slash with his claw, leaving behind five bloody marks in the process.
