Chapter 119 — Xiao Qi Saw Yu Gongzi Sharpening His Knife (1/2)

The man burst out at the same time.

Xiao Xi shook the droplets off of her face, and when she saw the face of the man opposite of her, she took a sharp intake from the corners of her mouth.

“Yu Saobao, why are you here?”

“Yu Saobao?”

“Cough, I mean, why are you here?”

She thought that it was the people in black who came down to kill her, but she did not expect that it would be Wan Siyu instead. Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?

“I should be the one to ask you that! Aren’t you supposed to be in the Regent’s Palace? How can you be here in the middle of the night? And even more, how come you’re being chased by those men in black?”

“How did you know that those men in black were chasing me?”

“Who would have imagined that those people in black were after you? This Gongzi was just passing by. Saw the clear lake here and took a bath. But I didn’t expect you to be hiding in the water and peek at this bathing Gongzi.”

Wan Siyu smirks, he revealed his pectoral muscles and said with a proud air, “How is this Gongzi’s figure? Is there a feeling of falling head over heels for me?”

Xiao Xi glanced at his chest. His muscles were well trained and his figure was excellent. But, when taking into account that these words were coming out from Wan Siyu’s mouth, Xiao Xi’s heart did not ripple at all. Instead, grass mud horses roared past.

“Good figure, no feeling.”

Sneak a peek at his bath? Does she have a use to do so? He was the one that came over to her even though she held no interest. After all, after seeing Feng Lingran’s perfect figure, her eyes became critical.

Xiao Xi finished with her response, swinging her arms up and down, she makes her way towards the shore.

Wan Siyu looked at the lake surface being disturbed by Xiao Xi and said with a light chuckle, “Your fox-style way of swimming is really ugly.”

Xiao Xi’s ears twitched, she turned her head, lifted her hand and splashed some water into the face of Wan Siyu, “Who told you to look at it?”

Wan Siyu leaned his head sideways, avoiding the water splash, “You shrewd fox.”

Xiao Xi swam ashore, water slid down her drenched figure, gluing the sopping garment to her skin. The night wind blew through her small figure, letting its chilling presence known to her, inducing a light sneeze. A frown came up to her face as she watched Wan Siyu swam up to the shore after her.

Did he really come here for the sake of the Huo Yi grass?

“You perverted little fox, you still don’t turn around even though you are seeing this Gongzi naked? Didn’t Feng Lingran ever teach you anything about being polite?”

Not wearing anything? Why is he making such a fuss over it?

“Wan Siyu, are you still afraid of being seen when you run to an open lake to take a bath? If you are afraid of being seen, then you should not have taken off your clothes. Ah, I know. You are feeling empty and lonely, so you took off your clothes in the evening to seduce a few straying young wives.”

“You little fox, what did you say? How could there be any young wives in the wilderness? This Gongzi is a very attractive person, a Yushu Lingfeng1, a rare beautiful man. How is it possible to be empty and lonely? And to go seduce young wives?” Wan Siyu frowned and suddenly felt something amiss. Realizing the problem, he then cried out, “You abominable little fox, you actually said that this Gongzi go around seducing young wives? Beauties are sent to this Gongzi regularly, and yet this Gongzi refuse, why then should this Gongzi go seducing young wives?”

Xiao Xi’s shoulders trembled, she covered her mouth and sneezed again. She touched her nose and noticed that it was cold. If it keeps going like this, she will soon catch a cold.

Wan Siyu put on his clothes and saw Xiao Xi sneeze a few more times. He gave a synthetic smile, “Have you caught a cold? Do you need this Gongzi to give you medicine to treat colds?”

Xiao Xi glanced at Wan Siyu, his appearance looked as if he deserved some spanking, she sniffed and said, “This girl has antibodies, so she doesn’t need to take medicine for a simple cold.”

After that, Xiao Xi refused to take another look at Wan Siyu, she turned around and left.

Xiao Xi has a good memory. Although it was dark, she runs through the road and draws it in her mind like a map.

Back to the inn, the carriage was no longer there, the driver’s body was also gone, Xiao Xi’s eyes flashed with doubts, it has not been long since the incident occured, other than the authorities, ordinary people will not randomly mess with the driver’s body and carriage out of fear, but if the authorities came here, it would not be as quiet as it is now, as if nothing had happened at all.

Xiao Xi went to the position where the coach was parked before, she squatted down and looked carefully with the aid of the moonlight. There was still blood on the ground where the coachman had his head chopped off. Could it be that after the man in black left, they came back and took the coachman’s body and the carriage?

“Little fox, what are you looking at?”

Wan Siyu also squatted down, following Xiao Xi’s line of sight, he saw the blood on the ground.

“Why did the black-clad men take away the carriage and the body of the coachman? Is it to destroy the evidence?” If those people in black were really sent by Qiu Lan, it would make sense to destroy the evidence.

Wan Siyu dragged a finger at the blood on the ground, he brought it under his nose and sniffed it. He laughed and said, “Little fox, are you sure that the coachman died?”

Xiao Xi’s face changed, “It isn’t? I saw the man in black cut off the coachman’s head.”

“Seeing it does not necessarily make it true. It’s chicken blood, not human blood.”

Chicken blood?

“Wan Siyu, how can you tell that this is chicken blood?”

“Although ordinary people can’t tell the difference between chicken blood and human blood, who is this Gongzi? He is a famous divine doctor with a well deserved reputation, such a trivial matter is not a problem……”

“Wan Siyu, please get to the point.”

Can you stop bragging?

“Uh… The key point is that the color of chicken blood is darker and there is a kind of chicken smell.”

Xiao Xi almost burst into laughter, Yu Saobao sure knows the scent of chicken…

Hahaha…

“This Gongzi has also done some research on blood. Pig’s blood smells putrid, and goat’s blood have a musky odor…… Little fox, do you want to know what the blood of a fox smells like?”

Xiao Xi did not want to continue talking to Wan Siyu.

“I don’t want to know.”

Xiao Xi went back to muse on her own thoughts. If the coachman was not dead, then everything that occured was deliberately shown to her. Did Qiu Lan really want to kill her, or did she have another objective?

Xiao Xi gave a bitter laugh and stood up. The night chill made itself known again making her body shiver all over. It was too cold.
