“Slow down, Xi Que! I can’t keep up with you!”
Jiang Sheng was breathing heavily for he was being dragged all the way out by Xi Que.
It was not because he was weak but the original owner of this body was lack of exercise, so Jiang Sheng was out of breath now.
“But that was dope! Where did you hide that katana? Can you let me fiddle with it for a while? I’ve never seen a real sword in my life yet.”
Jiang Sheng suddenly sped up and was asking nonstop behind Xi Que like a curious baby.
“That is not a toy you can fiddle with. It’s dangerous.”
Xi Que kept her poker face with no expression as always.
“You are stingy! I’m not gonna break it.” Jiang Sheng pouted his lips and said reluctantly.
“Please don’t tell anyone about what happened today, not a single thing, not even the katana.” Xi Que was walking in front of Jiang Sheng as she warned him coldly.
“Alright, alright, fine. I won’t tell anyone.”
Jiang Sheng was following behind lazily; he didn’t really feel like talking for he was hungry now.
“Ouch! Could you warn me before you make a sudden stop? It hurts!”
Jiang Sheng’s head bumped on the back of Xi Que’s head since he was looking down and didn’t notice that Xi Que had stopped already.
Still, there was no expression on Xi Que’s face and she didn’t apologize either. All she did was turning back and said, “Don’t trust anyone except me. I’ll secretly protect you and we won’t let you die again this time.”
‘Die, die? Sh*t! Why did she turn to the dark topic all of a sudden?
But what is “die again” supposed to mean? Does she know me before?’
Jiang Sheng looked at Xi Que curiously and asked, “Not even Pei Siyan?”
“No, not even that man.” Xi Que was firm about this and her eyes were ice cold.
‘Not even Pei Siyan? What? Isn’t she supposed to be Pei Siyan’s maid?’
“Your identity now is the spy the Prime Family sent to Pei Siyan’s side, so please don’t tell anyone that you are Jiang Sheng. Don’t give yourself away. People from the Prime Family will try to kill you as soon as they get suspicious about your identity because only in that way can they be free from further trouble.”
‘Mmm… but Pei Siyan knew that I’m Jiang Sheng already!
I’m totally confused now. So this Jiang Xiao was really a spy? That can explain why Pei Siyan hated me like that when I first reincarnated. That didn’t happen for no reason!’
Xi Que was going to add some morn warnings, but she saw Bai Hao rushing over here out of the corner of her eye, so she stood aside and shut her mouth right away. She had returned to the emotionless maid as she was before.
“Wow, that change is really fast.” Jiang Sheng commented.
But deep down inside, he had complicated feelings about all these. He felt that his death was not that simple. Something he didn’t know must have happened, otherwise Xi Que wouldn’t know that he was Jiang Sheng, instead of Jiang Xiao.
‘Is it really a coincidence for me to reincarnate into a vampire’s body who looks exactly like me?’
“Are you okay, Jiang Sheng?”
Bai Hao ran over to Jiang Sheng; he was almost out of breath for rushing all the way here.
About thirty minutes ago, he got a call from Hei Ming and was told that Jiang Sheng had been kidnapped to the Prime Family by Pei Siran, so he got here as fast as he could.
‘*sob,*sob… Stupid master, I’m so glad to see you are okay! Don’t go with the bad guys again. It’s really dangerous! Do you understand?’
The eyes of the magic fish were filled with tears; it was really worried about Jiang Sheng.
But suddenly, it got mad somehow after sniffing Jiang Sheng. The next thing it did was slapping him in the face with its fishtail like crazy.
‘You are bad, bad! Master, why didn’t you bring me with you? Why did you come over here alone for fruit? I have been worried about you for nothing! I’m gonna slap you till I get my revenge! Humph!’
Jiang Sheng had eaten a pear at Pei Siran’s place, and the magic fish’s reaction was probably caused by the scent of the pear left on Jiang Sheng. It thought Jiang Sheng had been invited here for afternoon tea and he didn’t bring it with him. That was why it got mad all of a sudden. A foodie fish indeed.
“Ugh, knock it off.”
Bai Hao was going to do something to “calm” the magic fish down, but Xi Que had already grabbed it by its tail before he acted, and after several rounds in the air, the magic fish was thrown to the road.
The magic fish flopped on the ground as it saw sparkles flying before its eyes.
‘Wait, what? Why are the clouds spinning? I’m so dizzy right now, ugh… I wanna throw up.’
