Chapter 887: Owe me, yousll have the right someday (2/2)

Han Yunxi turned back, feeling a little hurt. Unless the hatred between East and West Qin was just a misunderstanding that could be dissolved, how would she ever get the chance to have a right? Actually, she didn’t need his wealth at all as long as she had him. What could attract her more than his heart?

The exterior of the East Origin Hall was nothing special, but its interior was extremely luxurious and no less impressive than the lofty Myriad Merchant Hall. Long Feiye brought Han Yunxi to his sleeping quarters, which was hidden in the most peaceful, deepest depths of the East Origin Hall. Nobody could disturb them there. When Han Yunxi saw the hot springs in the back of the room, she dearly wanted to have a good soak. Unfortunately, her legs couldn’t come in contact with water. The two of them cleaned themselves up, washing off the dust and dirt from the carriage ride, and then Long Feiye promptly changed Han Yunxi’s dressing exactly on time.

Over the past half month, his exacting care combined with the medicines from Medical and Medicine Cities to help Han Yunxi recover faster than usual. She could already stand, but couldn’t walk just yet. Of course, Long Feiye didn’t allow her to stand at all. As long as she kept recovering like this, she should be fine in another half a month. A few more days of practice would help her recover her walking as well.

Fortunately, they’d been rushing here the past few days, or else Han Yunxi’s personality wouldn’t have let her sit still. She was now dressed in a loose lounge dress while sitting on the bed. As she saw Long Feiye approach her with medicine in hand, she quickly pulled up her dress to above her knees. She couldn’t bear it if he did it himself. Although she was exposing her knees, her injured shins could still attract one’s attention. Countless times, Long Feiye had pushed her down after applying medicine to eat her whole.

Still, he was quite rational before he turned into a wolf. He devoted himself uttering to changing her dressings, so much that Han Yunxi’s words would only be met with short replies instead of sentences. Tonight, there would be no chance for that, because Long Feiye had hardly finished when Xu Donglin called from outside.

“Your Highness, there’s a situation at Blacktower.”

“Come in,” Long Feiye said before moving to the outer rooms.

Xu Donglin came to report as soon as he entered. “Last night we lured the tiger away from its mountain. A shadow guard has already gotten in contact with Su Xiaoyu and told her everything.”

Long Feiye was very satisfied. “Deploy the forces immediately. Your lordship will be waiting for the hare to run into the tree this time!”

“Yes!” Xu Donglin acknowledged, before adding, “Su Xiaoyu asked the shadow guard to bring a message to the princess. She says….that she misses the princess.”

Han Yunxi’s eyes turned red at the words. It wasn’t sentimentality, but that she understood Su Xiaoyu’s personality all too well. Such a surly, unrestrained little girl would never say such emotional things. She was more likely to quarrel and make a fuss, so it was obvious that she’d suffered much. Although Long Feiye had arranged for a flawless trap, this time would be full of dangers. No matter what, Han Yunxi thought, they had to ensure Su Xiaoyu’s safety.

Actually, Xu Donglin had left out one piece of information. By the time the shadow guard found Su Xiaoyu, she was already on the verge of death. Whether she’d survive long enough for their rescue was uncertain. Within Blacktower, the tiny girl had been tied to a giant cross with her head drooping to one side. In the darkness, she was like an abandoned doll whose body emanated an aura of death. Yet her large eyes were shining with a stubborn light. Before the shadow guard arrived, she was already holding on obstinately to her last breath. Now that he had given her his master’s orders, she was going to complete her mission beautifully to repay the woman who had saved her life.

Abruptly, a splash of cold water drenched her in the darkness, soaking her completely. The water dripped down from her hair to trickle down her body and onto the floor. The falling droplets were clear in the silent space. This was an old trick by the guards. After using up all their torture techniques, they had no other ways to fool around, so they’d splash her with cold water every night. Then they’d open the windows and have the cold autumn wind blow against her until she caught a fever, fell ill, and suffered through the throes of illness. Only when she was about to die would they give her medicine to eat.

Every time this happened, she would remained with her head bowed, not reacting as they tormented her. They would quickly lose interest and leave, because any reactions would only bring about more suffering. But this time she raised her head and smiled wickedly. “Hey, I’ll give you guys a chance to make some contributions. How about it?”

Two guards appeared with shrewd looks.

“Stinkin’ lass, what’s wrong? Can’t take it anymore? Are you going to confess?”

“Cheap girl, you would have been fine if you confessed earlier! What’s the point of suffering so much? You’ve even dragged the two of us here to waste time with you!”

Su Xiaoyu laughed coldly. “Confess? If I confessed, would you still let me live?”

The two guards had seen their share of Su Xiaoyu’s experienced and shrewd ways, so they didn’t mince their words.

“Cheap girl, say what you want or fart all you like, or else...hehe!”

“I think she’s just fooling with us. She won’t cry until she sees her own coffin. Someone come, bring the whip!”

At this, Su Xiaoyu said coldly, “Tell your master to talk to me personally if he wants to know whether the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion is in Long Feiye or Han Yunxi’s hands! If this granny feels happy enough, I might even tell him how they broke through the poison!”

Both of the guards grew stunned at her words. They exchanged glances before ordering someone to look after her, then hurried off to deliver a letter.

Perplexing Butterfly Illusion was big news! Their master had been searching it for years without success. While they were delivering the message, Long Feiye was accompanying Han Yunxi in a stroll around the gambling house. The one in question was Myriad Merchant Hall’s biggest casino.

1. Tianning’s black markets - I got confused because the author wasn’t referring to them by name, but this incident is outlined in PGC’s 7th story arc from chapters 348-388, in “Two Schemers are Better than One.” The black market she’s referring to here would be the Sky Domain Black Market in chape 369!

2. Obviously, HYX never read enough webnovels in her previous life to recognize the irresistible halos of the male lead!
