Chapter 31 Killing Intent Flashes (1/2)
Thinking about it, Ning Xueyan took a bowl to Prince Yi and said, ”Your Highness, your favor will be carved on my bones.”
She conveyed her appreciation to Prince Yi and also admitted who she was.
Prince Yi suddenly burst into laughter. He used his hand for supporting the forehead. And his fingers which were white as the jade glided over his black robe but his beautiful voice was cold as hell.
”Twice!”
It wasn't a question, it was an affirmative sentence. Prince Yi was telling Ning Xueyan that he had certainly helped her twice. No matter she admitted it or not, when he thought it was, then it must be. He was the boss.
Would he need anyone's favor? She couldn't imagine what the favor would be, maybe it would cost her life.
Ning Xueyan felt her hands, which was hidden in the sleeves, trembling and swallowed some saliva unconsciously. Prince Yi's peaceful eyesight seemingly focused on her with the treacherousness, and she could sense it moved on her tender skin inch by inch as a sharp sword poking into her frail neck.
This truly frightened her!
Ning Xueyan composed herself. Trying hard to repress her fear, she raised her head and made eye contact with Prince Yi's beautiful cold eyes, saying, ”Your Highness, if you don't ask me here, I've already been released by Third Prince.”
This meant, she refused his generous favor! Ning Xueyan thought she would be out of danger by now if Prince Yi didn't take her here. Now he caught her first, and released next. In the end, did he want her to regard it as a favor?
Seriously?
Seeing her bloodless bitten lip and the stubbornness in her jade-dark eyes, Prince Yi could feel her deep fear. But it seemed she didn't plan to capitulate. He smiled slightly.
His jade-like hands reached out and stayed at her front, lifting her sharp chin. He stared at her peaceful jade-dark eyes smiling significantly with sudden coldness, ”Not again!”
His face confronted Ning Xueyan's beautiful face with bloodthirsty coldness.
It was not a compromise! It was a warning!
”Yes...never again.” Ning Xueyan said without noticeable pause although she halted a little. She looked at him, trying hard to keep calm under his strong oppression. The eyesight from this incredibly handsome man scared her deeply.
”If you did such thing again...” Prince Yi withdrew his hands from her chin and didn't go on talking. His hands skimmed over her delicate neck, with his sword-like fingers stained with venom. The fingers were so cold that he would kill her with mild strength.
Prince Yi showed satisfaction when he saw her pupils magnifying.
Then he released her. He waved, suggesting her leaving.
Seeing the troops went into Cold Mountain Temple, Ning Xueyan got refreshed. Even though she seemed peaceful just now, only she knew the sweat under her vest. Now the wind blew over, she felt colder. She had no doubt that the hands on her neck minutes ago would take her life instantly.
At that moment, she sensed his intent on killing her clearly!
If she didn't talk along with his way, and guaranteed to pay for his favor, she would be dead already.
Prince Yi, Ao Chenyi, what a fathomless and ruthless man he was!
She needed to be more careful!
After the renewal, Ning Xueyan understood the importance of life more. She didn't finish her revenge and she knew Madam Ling was hard to break down, so she couldn't die for the unknown cause now. She might avenge herself with the help of powerful Prince Yi.
Once the thought appeared in her mind, it disappeared quickly!
She wanted to use Prince Yi for her own revenge unless she was ready to die! Maybe she would be killed by him before she could borrow his power.
Shili Pavilion in the suburb was necessary to enter and leave the capital. Ning Xueyan arrived there early. According to the time that Mother Han said, she found she still got hours before her uncle came, so she sat down.
Soon after her sitting down, she saw a carriage moved slowly towards her. There wasn't any sign on the carriage, but it could be told from the number of maids and older female servants aside that the personage inside was rich or respectable. The carriage stopped and a handsome young man got off the horse behind the carriage. He glanced at Ning Xueyan then turned around, walking to the carriage.
With the curtain lifted, a maid and an older female servant jumped off, then a noblewoman who was about 30 years old came out and got off the carriage supported by the young man's hands. She raised her head and took a look of the sky, then planned to go into the pavilion without talking.
