Chapter 98: Evil Desires (2/2)

“You are sister Shuirou, right?” Ye Ning Xue had summoned her own courage to spontaneously ask.

Seeing a young lady, Hua Shuirou seemed less nervous, pulling at her clothes, she approached gently. “Yes I am. Little sister, do you know me?”

“I recognize you.” Ning Xue looked up and laughed, “Because brother said he liked you, and all the people the brother likes, Ning Xue also likes them.” The two scars on Ning Xue’s face had frightened this delicate woman, but the words had overwhelmed her heart with happiness, and she felt a little closer to Ning Xue. She secretly glanced at Ye Wuchen and said lowly, “I… also like you.”

“Can I call you big sister from now on?” Ning Xue asked happily.

“Yes, of course you can.” Hua Shuirou replied gently.

Ye Wuchen took the painting from Ning Xue’s hands, opening it to discover a blank piece of paper with not even a trace of ink. He shook his head, unable to express what he felt right this moment. He gently stroked Ning Xue’s head and said, “Xue-er, can you please go over to sister’s place and borrow a set of clothes? Better if it is a yellow dress. Tell her I requested for it.”

“A dress? I got it.” Ning Xue waved her small hands and took small, quick steps back.

Only until Ning Xue’s figure disappeared from his line of sight did Ye Wuchen turn around. Although his powers could fix Hua Shuirou’s dress, he could not reveal his “scary powers” in front her yet as it might scare her away.

“Even if I changed clothes, they will still figure it out.” Hua Shuirou’s hands pressing tightly over her chest timidly as her eyes gazed at him helplessly.

“It doesn’t matter if they figured it out. You belongs to me, Ye Wuchen, and no other, right?”

“Yes…” Hua Shuirou’s gaze slightly sparkled, his tender words had wiped out the greater part of her fear. Her hands dropped down, her body softly collapsed onto Ye Wuchen’s chest. The front of her clothing opened wide, revealing a part of her snowy white skin. At same time, something rolled out from her clothes, dropping to the floor with a “pak” sound.

“Ah!” Hua Shuirou gently called, bending at the waist to pick it up. It was a small black packet, round and bulging. She patted her chest and lifted her hands to present the packet to Ye Wuchen, “This is… for you.”

The packet seemingly had a similar smell to gunpowder, but not quite. Ye Wuchen guessed what it contained. He carefully took it, then asking probingly, “Is this your Hua Family’s mine?”

“Yes… that’s ten of them. It a-also contains two Heaven-Shaking Mines. I stole them. If those bad people try to harm you, you can use these.”

This young lady had been worried for his safety. Ye Wuchen felt warmth in his heart. He opened the small black packet, and inside were twelve black balls, slightly bigger than marbles. The mines trigger a small scale explosion of poisonous fireballs, but no one knows the true effects of the “Heaven-Shaking Mines” as Hua Shuirou called them. No one has ever been witness to the so-called “heaven-shaking mines” of the Hua Family that was only known in vague rumors. Ye Wuchen clearly remembers when Hua Zhentian and Ye Nu had argued about something during the competition, something like “using Heaven-Shaking Mines to burn down the entire Ye residence” was mentioned.

“Were these something that your father handed to you for your protection?” Ye Wuchen asked laughingly.

This was his first time seeing special firearms that belong to the Heavenly Star Continent. Explosive devices possessed certain dangerous properties, and negligence might cause deadly accidents. Hua Zhentian ought not to give her too much contact to these things, but they were necessary for her protection.

“Yes, but I don’t use them.” Hua Shuirou said in a low voice.

Ye Wuchen carefully took out five small ones and one that was heavier… most likely one of the so-called “Heaven-Shaking Mines.” He returned the rest to Hua Shuirou. “If you give them all to me, what will you do if you run into some dangerous situation? Let’s divide them into half, okay?”

Hua Shuirou obediently nodded. Naturally, what Ye Wuchen said would be followed.
