Not to mention Xia Houqing, even she didn’t believe it. Why did the needle break at this moment?!

What did she use this compass for last time?

She lowered her eyes in thought, and her gaze darted around. Suddenly, she felt her vision darken, as if a layer of dark clouds had enveloped her.

When she looked up again, she saw that Xia Houqing had stood up at some point and was leaning forward towards her with his upper body. The red ribbon that tied his hair fell smoothly and happened to hang by his cheek, as if there was a bloodstain on his cheek. His entire aura was demonic and dangerous.

In the blink of an eye, they were no more than two inches apart.

So close that she could see the fine hairs on his porcelain skin…

So close that she could feel his cold aura…

So close that if she moved her hand forward half an inch, she would be able to touch his scarlet luck…

Gu Yanfei’s fingers curled restlessly, tempted.

“Is it fun to play me?” Xia Houqing spoke slowly, enunciating each word. A demonic and dazzling smile bloomed on his face. When he spoke, his cold aura caressed her face like a ghost.

“Second Lady Gu.”

His words revealed Gu Yanfei’s identity, clearly telling her that he had already thoroughly investigated her background. She could run away, but she couldn’t hide.

“Or do you have any more tricks to convince me today?”

As he spoke, Xia Houqing approached Gu Yanfei another inch. His dark eyes seemed to contain endless darkness as he stared at her with killing intent.

His left hand, still wearing the blood ring, was once again on the window sill, as if in the next moment he would give instructions to his subordinates hidden in the darkness.

And this time, he would take her life!

“Your temper is still so bad!” Gu Yanfei raised her eyebrows and muttered with a sigh as she complained fearlessly.

“What?” Xia Houqing narrowed his charming eyes.

“Calculate…” Gu Yanfei wanted to say that she should calculate again, but she suddenly noticed that the corners of his eyes were bloodshot and the whites of his eyes had turned slightly green. She raised her hand and checked the pulse on his right wrist, feeling it cold to the touch.

She asked without thinking, “Are you ill?”

Was she trying to please him?! Xia Houqing stared intently at every change in Gu Yanfei’s expression. His gaze was cold as he smiled seductively and mockingly.

Gu Yanfei didn’t expect him to answer. Feeling the pulse under her finger, she still muttered to herself, “There’s insufficient Yang qi, a blocked meridian, and even an imbalance between Yin and Yang. If there’s a deficiency in Yang, the Yin will flourish…”

Gu Yanfei muttered.

She had never taken Xia Houqing’s pulse before.

The main blood of the ren meridian was the sea of Yin Meridian, and the main Qi of the du meridian was the sea of Yang Meridian.

A young man in his 20s was in his prime and should be full of Yang energy. Why was his pulse like this?

Halfway through her sentence, Xia Houqing’s expression completely changed. His smile was frozen on his lips, and his eyes were like a mountain of ice that wouldn’t melt for ten thousand years. His killing intent was overflowing.

How dare she…

The scarlet luck around him spewed out like a sea of fire in the night. It was so crazy and demonic, with a world-destroying determination.

This person really turned hostile just like that. His temper was too bad. Gu Yanfei muttered in her heart and reached for her sword.

Sigh!

This private seat was really too small. It was just like the pavilion on the manor, making her feel restrained. Next time, she had to find a bigger place!

‘Meow!”

An energetic meow sounded. In the next moment, the calico cat, which had eaten its fill, flew up from the lobby downstairs. It still looked like a fairy that didn’t touch the ground and landed lightly on the table.

The cat didn’t notice Xia Houqing at all. With its back facing him, it meowed at

Gu Yanfei and announced in satisfaction, ‘Tm full!”

Xia Houqing didn’t care about the kitten at all. His hand with the blood ring crossed the table and attacked Gu Yanfei.

The cat heard the commotion behind it and suddenly turned its head. With a puzzled ‘meow,’ its green cat eyes shone brightly and met Xia Houqing’s phoenix eyes, which seemed to be dyed red.

When the human and cat looked at each other, Xia Houqing’s left hand froze in midair. His almost crazy eyes were fixed on those charming cat eyes.

At this moment, time seemed to have stopped.

Xia Houqing, who was standing, was much taller than the calico cat squatting on the table. His leaning body cast a shadow on the cat and brought an invisible sense of oppression.

The cat didn’t like the feeling of being looked down on by humans at all.

‘Meow!” The calico cat straightened up and slapped his face, pressing him back down.

The soft pad actually didn’t hurt at all when it slapped his face.

A strong resistance flashed across Xia Houqing’s eyes. His gaze struggled for a moment, but when he met the kitten’s beautiful and clear eyes, he couldn’t help but sit back down.

When he sat like this without smiling or saying anything, the demonic aura around him disappeared.

Seeing that the two people on both sides of the table were as tall as it, Qing Guang let out a smug cry.

It had just eaten downstairs and was a little thirsty. Seeing that there was water in the cup in front of Xia Houqing, its voice softened, and it meowed again, half begging and half acting cute.

Xia Houqing lowered his eyes to look at the kitten in front of him. His pale face was actually stained with a blush as he asked gently, “Do you want to drink it?” Just by looking at his face, he looked like an innocent young man.

His voice was very unique, clear, and ethereal. At this moment, when his voice softened, it was like a river of spring water flowing into one’s heart.

The cat nodded and meowed happily again. Of course it wanted the water.

Xia Houqing handed his white porcelain cup to the cat’s mouth.

Qing Guang stuck its head into the cup and licked it happily…

In the next moment, the round cat’s face froze in naked disgust.

This wasn’t water, but wine!

Pui pui pui!

The cat spat the wine back into Xia Houqing’s cup.

With its head lowered, it didn’t notice that there seemed to be two ferocious beasts fighting fiercely in Xia Houqing’s pupils..
