Chapter 1267: Long tongue and sharp claws



He Zexi stiffened. He looked up at Ye Xiyuan and maybe it was because of the dim lighting in the room but something about her made him terrified. He stared at her not knowing whether to swallow or throw up the meat in his mouth, was it safe to eat?

"Haha, look at your face!" Just as He Zexi's anxiety was climbing up his spine, he heard Ye Xiyuan laugh at him. He stared at her who was chortling away and heaved a sigh of relief. She was joking with him!

"You scared me," He Zexi remarked, he reached out his hand and wiped the sweat on his face. "Saying such a terrifying thing with a smile on your face, for a second I thought you were saying the truth."

Ye Xiyuan scrunched up her nose cutely. She took a bite of her braised beef and remarked, "It's your fault for being so gullible, Brother Zexi. Who asked you to trust me?"

Though she was speaking about the joke that she had made just now, for some reason He Zexi felt there was something wrong with the words that she spoke to him. He curled his lips and laughed awkwardly before saying, "Haha, you are right. There is no way you can cook human meat, I was the one who was too foolish."

As he spoke, he took another bite of the 'beef', Ye Xiyuan watched him gobble away the meat and an eerie smile etched on her face.

He Zexi didn't notice anything weird, once he calmed down he started to talk about this and that with Ye Xiyuan while praising her for her beauty and wits.

He couldn't get caught if he did then this woman would kill him as well. "It's..it's nothing, I just ...I just feel a bit heavy. After drinking so many bowls of soup my bladder is a bit..." He Zexi spoke to Ye Xiyuan who smiled at him and then said, "Is that so? Then you can go down the corridor, Brother He. The bathing room is right at the end of the hall."

He Zexi wanted to run out of the house but when he saw Ye Xiyuan looking at him, he dropped that desire and then walked down the hallway as calmly as possible. But even then He Zexi was afraid that Ye Xiyuan would come rushing and kill him. Fortunately, nothing like that happened as he headed down the hallway.

Once he was inside the bathing room, He Zexi closed the door and bolted it. Though it only took him two minutes to arrive at the restroom, He Zexi felt like he had lost more than ten years of his life. Cold sweat covered his back and forehead as he tried to regulate his breathing.

His mouth was partially opened as he heaved, he wanted to throw up but at the same time, he was worried that Ye Xiyuan would find out that he had recognized the human meat that she had cooked and served. For the first time, He Zexi felt raw fear.

He grew up in a patriarchal house and believed that women were not worth anything. Thus, when he met Ye Xiyuan he thought that she was trying to reach far beyond her reach and wanted to suppress her under him, after all, as a woman her duty was to stay at home and work for her man.

But now his world views have completely changed! That woman was not just cruel, she was purely unhinged!

"I have to get out of here! I need to get out of here!" He Zexi muttered as he looked around the bathing room, only to find a very small window which was too small for his physique.
