Chapter 1380 [Extra - for 60 Pink Tickets] (Part 2)

Ahua glared at it fiercely, shrank into the bed, then affectionately rubbed against the beauty’s hair before closing its eyes to pretend sleep, ignoring it again.

After an unknown amount of time, Ahua opened its eyes again, and the black cat was already gone.

#####

The seventh day of the first lunar month marked the end of the New Year celebrations.

In the early morning, snow fell silently. When Xiang Fen walked in, Ning Xiaoxian was already awake, staring blankly at the ceiling.

After just two days apart, she missed Changtian dearly, his broad chest, his handsome brows, hot lips, and their moments of affection. Thinking about it, her face gradually reddened, wondering about his current situation and whether he had escaped the Flesh Furnace.

"Miss?" Xiang Fen tentatively called out softly.

Ning Xiaoxian smiled at her before getting up.

Her injuries had healed about seventy to eighty percent, and she could feel the speed of her meridian circulation increasing, clearly showing the vitality of a physique at the Great Perfection of Late Stage Integration. She estimated she would be fully recovered by evening.

The feeling of strength returning to her body was wonderful. Ning Xiaoxian stretched lazily, her gaze just meeting the tiger-striped cat.

It lay on the bedside, staring at her with a complicated look in its eyes, a mix of worry and deep fear. Ning Xiaoxian couldn’t help but restrain her smile, "Ahua, what’s wrong?"

The tiger-striped cat meowed twice, came over, and repeatedly rubbed against her shoulder. She could feel the furry cat body purring, like a miniaturized blower sound. Now looking at Ahua, its green eyes were expressionless.

Xiang Fen, watching from the side, laughed, "Miss is kind-hearted, you’re really good to the little Cat Demon."

Is she kind-hearted? Ning Xiaoxian sighed inwardly and asked, "Have my Hidden Guards not arrived yet?"

Xiang Fen brought over the prepared fragrant soup for her to wash her face, saying, "No news yet. It’s said that the front lines have resumed fighting, so they might face some obstacles coming from the west. However, we have an important guest this morning."

"Oh, who?" she asked casually.

"The Master of Fengtian Prefecture, Lord Miluo." Xiang Fen had just finished speaking when she noticed Ning Xiaoxian’s hand pause, not removing the face cloth.

"Miluo is here?" Her voice had a significant amount of gritting his teeth.

It seems the lady of the house holds a grudge against the Master of Fengtian Prefecture? Xiang Fen looked at her curiously, but Ning Xiaoxian finally realized: The Evil Qi at Red Ghost Mountain had been leaking for over half a year without investigation, but coincidentally, Changtian, Yin Jiu You, and Huangfuming all gathered at the underground palace at the same time! At this moment, if she still couldn’t understand that Miluo orchestrated it all, selling information first, second, and third hand, she could only blame herself for being stupid!

If it weren’t for this fellow baiting them, Changtian wouldn’t have been trapped in the Flesh Furnace, forced apart from her, with a most sinister Yin Jiu You at his side; she wouldn’t have fallen into Huangfuming’s hands, with her hard-earned treasure easily snatched away, and living these past few days on thin ice.

Thinking of this, her heart couldn’t help but feel stifled!

Shortly after, a servant came to deliver a message: "Lord Miluo wishes to see you. The young master says it’s up to you to decide. If you don’t want to see him, it’s entirely your choice."

Adding this latter part, it’s clear that Huangfuming did not want Miluo to see her. Ning Xiaoxian, filled with frustration, was about to refuse when her heart suddenly skipped a beat: "No! Miluo knows I and Changtian went into the underground palace together; if he tells Huangfuming about this, I’d be in danger."

At that thought, she sighed helplessly, "Let’s meet."

The servant led her through the winding corridors. The reception area of Ronglin Villa is called Yuhua Hall, a Linglong Hall built in the heart of a lake, directly facing a waterfall flowing down a hundred feet. The ingenious part here is the soundproof barrier in place, allowing guests to enjoy the view of flying pearls and jade-like waves crashing against rocks without the waterfall’s roar disturbing conversations.

Two tall figures stood by the railing, talking. The one in white seemed to hear her footsteps, turned, and looked at her with a smile; who else could it be but Miluo?

He was wearing a large-sleeved intersecting collar robe today, with a pale white embossed straight collared robe over it, gold embroidery on the right shoulder, making his brows and eyes even more picturesque, his demeanor unrivaled, standing before the waterfall, exuding an immortal’s aura, as if ready to soar away with the wind.

"Ning Xiaoxian." He called her by name, then swept her with his Divine Thought, frowning slightly, "You were injured?"

"Lord of Miluo Prefecture." She returned the gesture, her voice clear and cold, "Thanks to you."

He heard the distance and blame in her voice, pressing his thin lips. Huangfuming cheerfully approached and asked, "Sister, is your health better today?"

"Much better." She nodded to him, then directly spoke, "I’d like to speak with the Lord of Miluo Prefecture alone."

Huangfuming raised one eyebrow, not surprised, simply saying: "Alright! Take your time," and left without hesitation.

The maids present were also perceptive, quickly excusing themselves and exiting in a line, leaving the hall with only the two of them remaining.

Miluo casually set a barrier, then walked a couple of steps closer, whispering: "Has he... has he hurt you...?"

Ning Xiaoxian gritted her teeth: "Why worry about that now, when you set a trap for me and Changtian back then?"

Seeing her face flushed with anger, her eyes filled with rage, Miluo knew she resented him, feeling a slight bitterness in his heart, he sighed softly: "I wasn’t aware of the mechanisms in the underground palace, nor did I know that even with Shaking Heaven God’s ability, he couldn’t protect you thoroughly..."
