Chapter 2680: Totally Confused

"Oh wow, the sun must be rising from the west today since you’re not calling me a tigress anymore?"

"No, no, I was wrong before. I was blind. Miss Zi Xia is graceful and poised, looks beautiful, and takes great care of Xiao Jiu. When you get married, you’ll surely be a good wife and mother. How could someone like you ever be a tigress? Haha...!" Xiao Jiu hoped Zi Xia would rescue him, so he was shamelessly buttering her up.

Zi Xia imitated Xiao Jiu’s usual tone: "How could someone like me, a tigress, possibly get married? If I can’t get married, where’s the talk about being a good wife and mother?"

These were words that Xiao Jiu used to insult her. Now, Zi Xia was returning every single one, not missing a beat.

Women really hold grudges; she remembered everything he had said before.

Xiao Jiu felt quite tragic; why had he offended such a petty, vengeful, and sly woman? Alas! Everything was fate; he accepted it.

Xiao Jiu’s small body was caught in the spider web, swaying dangerously in the wind: "Haha... Miss Zi Xia is recognized as a beauty in the Capital. How could you not get married? Even Long Yi dreams of marrying you!"

Zi Xia’s eyes lit up at the mention of Long Yi’s name, and she quickly asked, "Oh, how do you know?"

Xiao Jiu bragged, "Who am I? I’m the little detective in the War Prince’s Mansion. There’s nothing that can be hidden from me."

Hearing this, Zi Xia nodded in agreement. Xiao Jiu was always flying around the Mansion, resting anywhere he liked, indeed knowing many secrets.

Zi Xia asked eagerly, "What did Long Yi say?"

"Do you really want to know?"

"I do."

"Let me down and I’ll tell you!"

"Deal."

Zi Xia drew the treasured sword from her waist, jumped up, and with a wave of her hand, she sliced through the entire spider web...

"Thud...!"

Xiao Jiu fell from the tree...

"Ouch, that hurt like hell, Zi Xia! You’re too rough! I asked you to let me down, you couldn’t find a gentler way?"

As Zi Xia sheathed her sword, she said, "The sword didn’t miss, that’s kind enough. What more do you want?"

The spider web was still wrapped around Xiao Jiu, making him look like a small ball; he couldn’t move at all: "Oh beautiful and gentle Miss Zi Xia, please, do a good deed till the end, save me completely, please let me out."

Xiao Jiu rolled on the ground, unable to stand up because of the layer of spider web wrapped around him.

"Your small frame is useless, eating so much meat every day yet you don’t grow taller." Zi Xia muttered as she stepped forward and helped pull off the spider web covering him.

"Tweet tweet tweet...! Wonderful, I’m finally out." Trembling, Xiao Jiu stood on the ground. That big troublemaker was so ruthless, not even giving a warning before throwing him out. Luckily, his life force was tough enough to survive.

Zi Xia: "Speak!"

Xiao Jiu was just happy being freed, suddenly hearing Zi Xia’s question, puzzled: "Say what?"

Zi Xia seemed a bit shy, her voice noticeably softer, not as aggressive as before: "What did Long Yi say in his sleep?"

Oh, after all this time, Zi Xia was still thinking about this!

Xiao Jiu: "He said that after the Prince completes his great enterprise, he’d marry you."

Zi Xia asked in confusion, "Great enterprise? What great enterprise?"

Xiao Jiu tilted his head and thought for a moment: "He didn’t say, I don’t know either."
