He shouldn't have woken her up and let her die in his nightmare!

Rong Yu furrowed his brows as he looked at her. In his eyes, there was a trace of displeasure which made Chu Ci feel an indescribable sense of guilt.

That arrogant expression from before also started to weaken a bit.

Seeing Rong Yu not saying a word, she continued to grab onto his blanket, and just as he was about to lie down, he heard Rong Yu's low voice, echoing in front of her.

"Next time when you wake up This King, I will break your neck immediately. There is no need to assassinate you!"

After saying those words that stunned Chu Ci, Rong Yu turned around and sat back down on the bed.

Only after being stunned by Rong Yu's words for a while, did Chu Ci come back to his senses.

She dreamt that her "best friend" was pressing her into the water, very hard, very hard. The suffocating feeling was very real, as if she was really going to drown.

Even until now, she could still feel that she was unable to catch her breath.

She was an orphan adopted by the mafia lord. She grew up on the edge of a knife.

In order to allow herself to live better, she had to learn everything, such as self-defense, medical skills, swindling techniques, and even criminal investigation.

In short, she wanted to get involved in anything that was beneficial to her.

As far as she was concerned, only by doing so would she be able to guarantee her own life for even longer. And as it turned out, that was the case.

All of these things she had learned had helped her keep her life in a critical moment.

Living in the underworld allowed her to develop a personality that would never trust anyone. But because of that, her best friend, who was also taken in by her foster father, became the only one she trusted. Similarly, she was the only one who had the chance to send her to a dead end.

Until now, she still didn't know why the person she trusted the most, even more than her foster father, would want to put her to death.

Recalling the moment when her "good friend" pushed her off the cliff when she was unprepared, the moment she turned around, her good friend's vicious eyes, until now, made her feel a chill down her spine.

And now, her situation made her even more anxious. She did not know who she should trust in this world that was so familiar to her. Even someone as close as a sister could not trust her.

For the first time, Chu Ci felt a suffocating sense of helplessness and fear.

When she thought of her good friend from the 21st century, her heart couldn't help but feel sad. The sadness of being betrayed.

When Rong Yu returned to the bedside, he did not immediately lie down. When he raised his eyes and inadvertently looked at Chu Ci, he discovered that she was sitting on the bed in a daze, with all kinds of complex expressions flashing across her face.

Sometimes fear, sometimes hesitation, sometimes blankness, sometimes sadness.

He couldn't help but be curious. What was the reason for her expression? Was it because of him? Or was there some other reason he didn't know about?

When Rong Yu's eyes looked at that frightened and uncertain face of his, they sunk into a short period of contemplation.

However, when his gaze touched the temporary sadness on her face, a trace of something strange involuntarily flashed within his heart.

After being startled for a moment, Chu Ci came back to her senses, the complex expressions on her face was also quietly covered up.

She laid down on the bed, pulled up the blanket, and covered herself with it. Her eyes were wide open as she gazed out the window at the bright moonlight.

He didn't want to think about it. Why should he want to think so much?

Since no one could believe it, then they could only believe in something that they absolutely could trust. Money!

That's right, she shouldn't even think about anything else and wholeheartedly wanted to get her hands on the capital to soar into the heavens. Only then would she be able to survive in this damned place.

Although he had a powerful "family", he still couldn't really rely on them.

If the Dog Kaiser really recognized her as his little sister, he wouldn't have married her to slag holding residue and caused her to suffer greatly here.

In her mind, she began to think of various techniques that would allow her to soar in the heavens.

No matter what, she had learned all kinds of skills in the modern world. Since she was here, she couldn't possibly be unable to use all of them.

If that doesn't work, then just go and be a bodyguard for the tycoons.

In the ancient times, there were many wealthy merchants, especially those who were heartless. In addition, there were also those who were "forced to go up the mountain". All of them were thinking of "robbing the rich to help the poor".

Anyway, she wasn't worried about starving herself to death, but bodyguards were after all manual labor. Until the end, she still didn't want to think about this path.

Her brain was so smart. Wasn't it the same if she relied on her IQ to make money?

That night, she lay in bed and thought about everything that could be used to make money in ancient times. Finally, she was short of "capital".

Sigh... In the end, money was still more important.

The next few days, Chu Ci's days passed by in a rare moment of tranquility. Ever since her previous incident, when my concubine had been "fixed" by her, I had indeed become more obedient.

slag holding residue was said to be rather busy recently, as she often went to his "company" to run some errands, so she didn't have much time to bother with him. Of course, even if that trash of a man had time, he wouldn't waste it on her.

For the past few days, Chu Ci had been sending snacks to the Lightning secretly, and her "friendly interaction" with the Lightning was also getting closer.

This morning, the sun was shining brightly as usual.

Chu Ci woke up very early, and after Rong Yu left the Prince Mansion, he quietly went to the backyard, and went to look for Lightning.

Seeing her, the Lightning's sharp black eyes immediately revealed a "Welcome" color, as it waited for Chu Ci to get closer.

"Elvis, the weather is so good today. Big Sis will take you out for a walk."

With that, she went up and carried Elvis out of the courtyard.

When the servants of the Prince Mansion saw Chu Ci carrying the Lightning out of the Longyi Pavilion, they all jumped in shock.

Why did Princess carry Prince's little tiger out? Oh my god, this little tiger is still young, but if it becomes dangerous, that would be terrible.

What was Princess doing? Did she think she was holding a cat?

The servants discussed softly as they kept their distance away from Chu Ci, afraid that the Lightning in her embrace would jump out and bite their hands and feet like they were eating breakfast.

"Wang …. Princess, you … "You …"

When the butler, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, saw the Lightning being carried so meekly in Chu Ci's arms, he could not help but be shocked.

The Lightning was the Prince's pet. Other than Huang Tao who fed it, only the Prince could get close to it.

How long had the Princess lived in the Longyi Pavilion? What did she do to make the Lightning be so obedient to her?

The butler quickly remembered that during this period of time, Princess did not even have to eat a few mouthfuls before packing them up and returning to Longyi Pavilion, saying that it was a midnight snack.
