Chapter 702 - My Decision, My Responsibility! (1/2)

Xia Lu is sitting at the edge of the bed. A little fox is resting on the table. She is stroking the fox’s fur gently, though the fox is much older than her.

Through the window, she can see the trees in the yard. Now, the leaves have withered, displaying a bleak scene.

It is just like how she feels now.

“Miss Xia, if you really want to escape, I can help you stall Xia Shengtang so that you can leave safe and sound,” the fox whispers.

Xia Lu lowers her head to look at the fox spirit on the table and gives a bitter smile.

“Do you think you can defeat him?”

The fox spirit thinks about it and says seriously, “I guess he is at the realm of Grand Master now. I’m no match for him but I can stall him for a while. The time will be enough for you to run away.”

“Then, you will be killed by him,” Xia Lu says calmly.

The fox spirit suddenly has no idea how to respond.

It has to admit that Xia Lu is right.

Moreover, if Xia Shengtang knows that Xia Lu runs away, he will vent his anger on the fox. In this case, it will be dead for sure.

Now, being a monster is not easy.

Xia Shengtang is at the realm of Grand Master now. Even if he were only at the realm of Master, considering its capability, it wouldn’t be easy to deal with him.

“Moreover, even if I get out of the Xia Family, where can I go?” Xia Lu says with a bitter smile, “It is not difficult for him to find me…”

The fox spirit suddenly feels that Xia Lu has made a good point. Moreover, in terms of Xia Shengtang’s current cultivation level, even Gao Ge, together with the golden monkey, may not be able to defeat him. Moreover, the fox spirit also understands that Xia Lu doesn’t want to see Xia Shengtang and Gao Ge get into a fight for sure. If they really fight with each other and either of them dies, it will be a trauma for her, which is hard to be cured.

“Fox, you’d better not instigate my sister! Do you really want to court death?” A cold voice comes from outside.

The fox spirit yawns.

These several days, she has been threatened by Xia Shengtang not only once or twice. Hence, she has been used to that and got familiar with his voice. Now, she is not frightened anymore and even wants to get a sleep.

Thinking of that, she really closes her eyes and wants to sleep.

Xia Shengtang pushes open the door and walks inside. Seeing Xia Lu sitting before the window, he slightly frowns.

“There are a few more days. The people of the Xia Family are coming. You should get prepared and dress yourself up,” Xia Shengtang says in a deep voice.

Xia Lu only takes a cold look at him and says nothing.

However, her glance only angers Xia Shengtang.

“Why are you mad?” He walks to her with a sullen face. Not loud as his voice is, it sounds rather potent.

“What? You are forcing me to marry a man I dislike. Now, you are even forbidding me from being mad? I don’t deserve to be mad and depressed?” Xia Lu sneers.

Xia Shengtang feels a headache.

Although he doesn’t spend much time with Xia Lu, they are actually quite close.
