Chapter 31: Unhappy, Very Unhappy (2/2)

Did she have no fear of death? Or did she never take his words seriously?

Each of the two cases made him unhappy, very unhappy!

“Did she think that she could rest contented with everything?” Beiming Xuan asked coldly. Zou Meng and Ning Chao felt as if they were locked into an icebox.

They knew that someone was bound to fall on evil days when their lord spoke in that tone.

With another glance at Ning Chao, Zou Meng hesitated for a moment and said: “My lord, Miss Ruan and Murong said that the poisoned ones were now out of danger.”

Ning Chao also looked at Beiming Xuan while he was listening. Ruan Jiujiu had saved their comrades-in- arms’ life. Knowing that Beiming Xuan had the intention of killing Ruan Jiujiu, they couldn’t help but feel sympathy for her.

Having seen through what was on his subordinates’ mind, Beiming Xuan snorted coldly: “They are out of danger, while I am not. Don’t forget that I was also poisoned!”

What?

What did their lord mean? They looked at Beiming Xuan in confusion.

With quicker wit, Ning Chao asked: “You have not eliminated the toxin?”

Impossible! With remarkable internal energy, their lord was supposed to recover more quickly than others. And he would not even get hurt at all if the drug carried relatively lower toxicity. He must be the first one to be out of danger, even if he was the last one to be detoxified.

“Zou Meng, ask Ruan Jiujiu to get herself cleaned up and come to wait on me!” Beiming Xuan was enraged by the way they gazed at him. Their mind would go to dark places if he let them keep gazing at him.

He couldn’t bear to see Ruan Jiujiu staying relaxed.

He was a lord, and he meant what he said. Nobody could doubt him!

Moreover, it was due to Ruan Jiujiu that he had lost face for several times. She even did some things he was very much embarrassed to tell. He could not possibly allow her to stay so relaxed.

This time, he would claim back both principal and interest!

“Your lord is insane! Why do I have to wait on him?” She was not Beiming Xuan’s maidservant! It was unfair to deprive her of sound sleep and ask her to wait on Beiming Xuan.

If someone else dared to say that Beiming Xuan was insane, Zou Meng would have a fight with him. However, this time his sympathy went out to Ruan Jiujiu, who had just been deprived of her sleep and deep in anger and frustration. He froze up for a second and started to explain: “The lord seems unhappy. It is likely that the toxin has not been completely eliminated. You’d better go to see him.”

Deep in anger and frustration, Ruan Jiujiu scratched her head.

That was unfair! She was utterly exhausted. That damn lord, however, kept torturing her, completely devoid of humanity.

“Damn, I will go!” She ground her teeth, jumped down from the bed and rushed out.

Completely stunned, Zou Meng chased her and shouted: “Miss Ruan, you have not washed your face! The lord is fastidious about hygiene!”

Zou Meng could not catch up with her. Ruan Jiujiu had kicked the door open and rushed into the study before he arrived. Then he heard some heavy thuds as the table and the chairs fell down.

Zou Meng paled visibly with fear.

What is Miss Ruan doing? Is she having a fight with the lord? Is she going nuts?
