The danger he just faced made him still feel fearful.
“You deserve it.” Jing Yue sat up on the bed and turned to Helian Xiu while Yawning, “Please tell me what you want for the late-night trespassing.”
“Here you are. Your pet.” Helian Xiu took out a bamboo pipe from his cuff and threw it to Jing Yue. Jing Yue caught it at once and opened it with confusion. Then she poured the thing out after looking inside the pipe.
“What?!!!” Jing Yue looked shocked by what was poured out on the bed. She stared at the flabby thing on the bed, which turned out to be Funeral Flower, her pet snake. Funeral Flower had been missing for a long time.
“Helian Xiu!! What the hell did you do to my Funeral Flower?! How did you torture her?” Jing Yue suddenly went ballistic and yelled at Helian Xiu when she found Funeral Flower has no feedback to her slight poking. Jing Yue stood with her hands on the hips and stared at Helian Xiu angrily.
“Relax. She is not dead. I just gave her some knockout drops for fear that she would threaten my safety.” Helian Xiu said pleasantly with an evil smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
“You are so evil!” Jing Yue ground her teeth in anger and spat out the four words. She held Funeral Flower up on her hands gently and felt sorry for Funeral Flower’s suffering.
“It’s just a snake.” Helian Xiu shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
Jing Yue paused hearing Helian Xiu’s words. She lowered her head and put down Funeral Flower softly. Then she picked up a black dagger aside and walked to Helian Xiu step by step. Helian Xiu was a bit confused by Jing Yue’s move and then saw Jing Yue putting the dagger in front of him suddenly right before he could say anything. Jing Yue raised her head slowly and said to Helian Xiu, with her dark eyes staring at him coldly, “You are just a human being. Is it ok if I kill you?”
“…” Helian Xiu’s pupils shrank at Jing Yue’s threatening. He could clearly see Jing Yue’s determination to kill him from her eyes. Without any disguise, her killing intention was so clear that it cannot be ignored.
“Get out.” Jing Yue looked at Helian Xiu coldly and said to him.
“I…” Helian Xiu wanted to explain something with a thoughtful gleam flashing in his eyes. However, he held his words back when he saw the resistance in Jing Yue’s eyes. Helian Xiu pressed his lips into a hard line, took one step back and then left. Seeing Helian Xiu leaving, Jing Yue lowered her arms finally.
It became silent again at night. Jing Yue walked to the bed and found Funeral Flower looking up at her. Jing Yue paused slightly and looked at Funeral Flower with apology. She pouted her lips and then said, “I’m so sorry for not protecting you well.”
“Hiss…” Funeral Flower stuck out her tongue and shook her head for several times.
“Do you blame me?” Jing Yue reached out her hand carefully and tried to touch Funeral Flower. Seeing Jing Yue’s hand coming close, Funeral Flower kept sticking out her tongue and lowered her body to touch the tip of Jing Yue’s finger after a while of hesitation, and then she shrank back quickly.
Jing Yue and Funeral Flower looked at each other with their eyes blinking. As Funeral Flower found that Jing Yue didn’t withdraw her hand, she plucked up the courage soon to touch Jing Yue again. Jing Yue didn’t refuse her coming close and used her finger to touch Funeral Flower’s body softly.
“Hiss…” Funeral Flower arched her neck and looked quite pleased. Then she spiraled up around Jing Yue’s arm.
“I won’t leave you alone next time.” Seeing Funeral Flower’s intimacy to her, Jing Yue smiled with her eyebrows curved. She raised her hand to play with Funeral Flower and promised her firmly.
The return of Funeral Flower pleased Jing Yue very much. Jing Yue took Funeral Flower to her restaurant the next morning. She had been caring about the restaurant’s business these days without slacking in the slightest. She could sigh with relief only when she saw guests crowding in the restaurant.
