Chapter 406: Ranking up again, Huskie’s changes! (1/2)

The sea of fire that happened to Qingxue Palace shocked the whole capital city. The news of the emperor being seriously injured and Imperial Concubine Qing’s disappearance spread like wildfire. As a consequence, Nabu City entered a state of panic.

First, it was an assassination at the cocktail party, and now, someone’s hand even extended into the imperial harem. As these two events were definitely linked from the view of many people, a sense of uneasiness hung over their hearts.

At this moment, the instigator was carefully feeding porridge to the Imperial Concubine Qing that he had just brought back, so carefully that he looked like he was tending to a woman post-pregnancy… Wait no, even post-pregnancy didn’t look as bad as Nie Qing’s current expression.

“If you are full, sleep for a while. You need more rest now. If you don’t get well soon, those brothers and sisters that you mentioned will find fault with me.” Bai Xiaofei put down the empty bowl and intimately stroked Nie Qing’s hair in exchange for her angry face, only that her pouting expression really couldn’t pose a threat.

“How many times have I told you, don’t touch my head! You are younger than me, you have to call me sister! How can a younger brother touch his sister’s head!” said Nie Qing in fury. If it wasn’t for the fact that she didn’t have the strength to get out of bed, she would have definitely taught him a lesson.

“Okay, okay, I got it. Get some rest. You can’t teach me a lesson if you don’t recover.”

Bai Xiaofei put the blanket on her. Nie Qing, who looked so angry like she wanted to eat him alive one second ago, instantly turned into a behaved little kitten staring at him with two big eyes.

“Give me a kiss.” Her sparkling expectant eyes simply made people unable to refuse.

Bai Xiaofei gently pressed his lips on hers. Looking at Nie Qing’s face filled with happiness, he smiled as well.

“Alright, sleep tight.”

After appeasing the stolen kitten, Bai Xiaofei left the room. Outside, the sky had just gotten bright…

What did people say again? Be good to your woman and raise her like raising a pig, then she won’t ever run off…

Bai Xiaofei inhaled a deep breath of the fresh morning air. As someone who didn’t get up early once in a blue moon, this was a novel experience for him.

“The sun is rising in the west? You actually got up so early?” Qin Lingyan, who happened to come out of her room at this time also, asked in amazement.

Anyone would be surprised when they witnessed a miracle…

“I’m keeping a beauty in my room and she claimed the bed, so I can only come out and get some air,” answered Bai Xiaofei truthfully with a smile, only to earn Qin Lingyan’s contempt.

“Dream on. What beauty would let you hide her?” commented Qin Lingyan coldly, the contempt in her eyes growing.

Ah, such was life. When you said the truth, no one would believe. Tell a lie, and they insist it was true.

“How was your meeting with Imperial Concubine Qing yesterday? Did you get any useful information?” Qing Lingyan grew serious as she got down to business.

“I did get something useful. I’m still a little away from figuring it all out, but I will soon clear it,” replied Bai Xiaofei, his face relaxed. With Nie Qing, the trump card, in his hand, he was full of hope for the present situation. As long as he could meet the other members of the Thunderstorm Bandits, everything would be clear!

“Does the fire in Qingxue Palace have anything to do with you?” raising a lethal question, Qin Lingyan eyes flashed with a sharp light.

“I did as entrusted by someone, but you can rest assured that I won’t be exposed,” Bai Xiaofei straightforwardly admitted. After all, the news followed right after he returned, so this kind of thing couldn’t be covered up. Moreover, he believed Qin Lingyan enough not to hide.

“So long as you know what you’re doing. Our mission is already a headache. If any unexpected misfortune happens to you, I won’t be able to explain it when I return to Starnet.” Qin Lingyan pulled out a reasonable explanation, but Bai Xiaofei revealed a creepy smile.

“Can I take this as concern from Big Sister Lingyan?”

Looking at the sleazily smiling Bai Xiaofei, Qin Lingyan’s expression instantly grew icy.
