“Do we really have to do it today?” Ning Xiaoyao asked “Isn’t that disrespectful towards the old madame?”
“How could that be?” Lou Zigui replied “The old mada her off, so how are we disrespecting her?”
“This and that are two different things, aren’t they?” Ning Xiaoyao asked “It ht even be that little white floho had finished her off”
“The Xie Clan didn’t deliver her to the authorities,” Lou Zigui pointed out “So the culprit can’t possibly be young née wang”
“True enough,” Ning Xiaoyao nodded her head in agreee
Big Boss Black took advantage of the fact that Lou Zigui couldn’t see hi Xiaoyao “Since you’re stupid, you should listen to what others say Whatever Supreoes!”
Ning Xiaoyao picked up Big Boss Black and threw him outside the“Supreme Commander, you need to look after your cat!”
Lou Ziguion his horse “Miaow~” Big Boss Black ible Since when has this cat been mine?
“This subject Xie Wenyuan respectfully greets Your Majesty!” Grand Preceptor Xie’s voice sounded frohtened out her clothes before she stuck her head out theand saw a crowd of people gathered outside She iain Daain?! Huroups of people Being part of a large crohen zo that much more difficult Every survivor in the apocalypse was experienced enough to know such things Although Ning Xiaoyao knew that zombies didn’t exist in this world, old habits die hard
“Your Majesty” Lou Zigui extended his hand towards Ning Xiaoyao
Sing a gulp, Ning Xiaoyao placed her hand in Lou Zigui’s He half carried her short, skinny fra Boss Black resumed his perch across her shoulders
“Rise,” Lou Zigui told Ning Xiaoyao “Tell them to rise”
“Rise,” Ning Xiaoyao told the ot up without help fro Boss Black, as perched on Ning Xiaoyao’s shoulders His face fell at the sight If a corpse sees a black cat, it’ll rise fro to offer condolences? As expected, this lass surely came with ill intentions
Ning Xiaoyao had no idea about the taboo of black cats, but looked sincerely at Grand Preceptor Xie and said, “Grand Preceptor, don’t feel too sad”
Grand Preceptor Xie lowered his head “This subject thanks Your Majesty” Do you really think a single cat will raise Old Madame from the dead or lose face for our Xie Clan? Grand Preceptor Xie invited Ning Xiaoyao into the estate, all the while s Yu is still childish at heart How could one take such superstitions as the truth?
Ning Xiaoyao strode through the Xie Clan doors and looked left and right “Aiya, looks like the door and walls have been rebuilt”
Immediately, all of the Xie Clan’s residents felt their hearts leap to their throats Does he want to tear it down again?!
“Not bad,” Ning Xiaoyao told Grand Preceptor Xie Respecting the dead was more important, so she wouldn’t cause trouble for him today
“This subject thanks Your Majesty for the praise,” Grand Preceptor Xie hastened to reply
“It really isn’t bad,” Ning Xiaoyao said again
“This subject thanks Your Majesty for the praise,” Grand Preceptor Xie replied The two of them stared at each other before His Majesty turned away and Grand Preceptor Xie looked down, as if weary of the whole business Standing side-by-side like that, they looked the very ie of a heartbroken pair
“Grand Preceptor,” Lou Zigui spoke up “Perhaps you can lead the way to thehall”
Grand Preceptor Xie’s expression resuesture at a path “Your Majesty, please come this way”
The various sons and nephews of Grand Preceptor Xie all shot hateful glares at Lou Zigui Who do you think you are, Lou Zigui? Ordering our father (our elder uncle, our younger uncle) about like some sort of lackey? All you did was earn His Majesty’s favoritism You’re just a small man intoxicated by success!
“What kind of looks are you giving?” Ning Xiaoyao asked as she looked at Xie Anqi and Xie Anshi+, then the rest of the gathered men “Why do I feel like none of you are sad at all that Old Madame Xie’s died?”
All of the Grand Preceptor’s sons and nephews hastily lowered their heads
“Your Majesty, they’ve sirief,” Grand Preceptor Xie lied through his teeth
“Enough already, let’s go to theXiaoyao replied “Once I send off Old Mada around an awful place like this for a second longer than necessary Grand Preceptor Xie led the way,that a bastard like her could disappear faster as well
Elder Li brought up the rear, puzzling over Ning Xiaoyao’s words What does heoff the Old Madame?’ The funeral procession isn’t scheduled for today…
White strea hall, where the Xie Clan’s woany casket rested behind the altar, covered by a white sheet that fluttered with the intermittent breeze
Ning Xiaoyao listened to the sounds of crying for a while beforeto herself, “There’s no sound of that little white flower”
A’Mo immediately volunteered himself, “Xiaoyao, I’ll help you look for her”
“Mreed “Thank you, A’Mo” The ant crawled to the floor fro Xiaoyao’s body and scurried outside
Big Boss Black gave a large meow “You have to be faster this time, miaow!”
At the sound of a cat, all of the sobbing within the hall ceased Even if Grand Preceptor Xie didn’t believe in old superstitions, it was no guarantee that his womenfolk felt the same way
“Why is there a cat!?” Lady wang said frantically “Who sent in a cat?!”
A servant girl peeked out fro on His Majesty’s shoulders, before staht along a black cat”
“What?” Lady wang was about to lose her temper
