Chapter 372 – Forceful Kiss (9) (2/2)

Many months had passed since she led a tranquil life and had attended many events. She did not bring misfortune to anyone and people should no longer be afraid of her “heaven destroyer and calamitous star” titles. But then, why were those people running away from her as if she was a scourge after she fell into the water?

Did someone say something about her?

The little qilin who was lying on her shoulder saw her puzzlement. It stretched its ears to listen and used telepathy to inform Ning Xuemo. “Master, they said that General Shi spoke a few words with you and fell into the water because of you. What’s more, he almost died. If Great Master Han Shanyue didn’t timely help, General Shi would died in vain. They said… they said… that your reputation as bearer of misfortunes was justified…”

Ning Xuemo kept silent.

She could feel countless gazes falling on her. Many emotions could be perceived from those stares: fear, schadenfreude, disgust, etc.

The buzzing of conversation could be heard around. The voices were suppressed into whispers, but due to the number of people, Ning Xuemo could not make out clearly what they were talking about. However, she had no need to guess to know that it was mostly defamatory words that had no other meaning than to exaggerate her reputation has bearer of bad luck.

In a flash, she felt like a monkey in a zoo as people were watching her without restraints and making a joke out of her…

Although Ning Xuemo’s patience was high, but it did not mean that she won’t be affected by the slander, so at this moment, her heart was extremely upset.

She tried hard for so long, so long! But everything was destroyed by a few frivolous words!

And the main culprit that caused her downfall was sitting on the seat of honor!

At this moment, Han Shanyue was calmly sitting on the seat of honor, monopolizing a whole table while Le Xuan Emperor and the crown prince were on his left and right.
