Although what she said wasn't wrong, Jin Yijue still felt that something was wrong. If it was just a cold, why didn't Hongyu mention it earlier? Why did she wait until now?
There was clearly something strange going on.
His handsome face darkened. "Go away."
Hongyu was frightened by his imposing manner, but she still insisted on guarding the door. "Young Master Jin, please don't make things difficult for this servant. This servant is only following Third Miss's orders."
Jin Yijue stood there with a livid expression. He didn't say anything else, but kept looking at Hongyu. Although he didn't show any emotion, Hongyu's face turned red.
Young Master Jin is really too handsome. It's a kind of happiness to be looked at by him like this … I'm so lucky to be Third Miss's personal maid.
Hongyu couldn't stop her imagination from running wild. Young Master Jin is looking at me so intently. Could it be … could it be that he has taken a fancy to me?!
His heart began to beat wildly like a thunderbolt.
While Hongyu's imagination was running wild and Jin Yijue's back was facing the door, Schilling's Shadow tiptoed into Xi Mengdie's courtyard.
It wasn't easy to hide from Jin Yijue's well-trained ears, so she had to be extra careful. Fortunately, she had been constantly strengthening her physical strength, so she was able to move nimbly in the shortest time possible.
After entering the courtyard, she found an easy place to hide based on her keen senses and years of experience. She stuck close to the corner of Xi Mengdie's room and cleverly avoided Jin Yijue's line of sight.
She poked a hole in the paper window and peeked into Xi Mengdie's room. However, she was shocked by the dazzling array of objects in the room. She didn't expect Xi Mengdie to be such a destructive maniac. If it were her, she wouldn't be willing to smash so many antiques … Tsk, tsk. What a wastrel.
In the mess, she easily found Xi Meng Die. At this moment, her eyes were filled with gloom, filled with a venomous light. Xi Nuoying tilted her head and listened carefully. She could even hear Xi Meng Die's low mutterings.
"Xi Mengjia, you caused me to become like this, I will definitely not let you off … definitely not …"
Schilling's Shadow smiled slyly as he took out a slingshot and a small round ball from his sleeve.
He buckled Little Meatball onto the slingshot and aimed it at the broken window. Then, he flicked it in and successfully hit the bed curtain.
After the small ball broke open, the water that flowed out drenched the bed curtain.
Although the meatball was very small, it still made a slight sound when it pierced through the air, and that sound could only be heard by cultivators. Naturally, it could not escape Xi Mengdie's ears.
Xi Mengdie whipped her head around and looked behind her. "Who's there?"
Of course, there was no one. Xi Mengdie turned around again and listened to the commotion outside the room. She said softly, "Yi Jue, Yi Jue … I can't let you see me like this …"
Speaking of this, her gaze became fierce again.
Xi Nuoying's lips twitched as she revealed an innocent smile. "How can I do that? I came here specifically for this."
She smiled sweetly and took out another small ball from her sleeve. This time, not only did she have to aim it at the hole in the paper window, but she also had to aim it at the water stain on the bed curtain. This way, the difficulty would increase!
However, she didn't panic at all. Instead, her small face became even calmer. After she grasped the right direction, she gently released her fingers.
Little Meatball passed through the hole again and flew straight into the room, hitting the bed curtain.
It accurately crashed into Drenched's position.
Puchi —
Along with the sound of a flame, the bed curtain suddenly burned. Soon, the flame turned into a fire snake and spread to the entire bed curtain in a few seconds.
Xi Mengdie whipped her head around and saw the fire. She was frightened and screamed in horror, "Ah …"
Bang!
The door was kicked open. Xi Mengdie turned around and saw a tall and handsome figure standing at the door.
Xi Mengdie screamed and suddenly covered her face. "Don't look at me, don't look …"
Outside the door, Jin Yijue was also dumbfounded. To be exact, he was also a little scared. He had never seen such a black person in his life … and it was so black that it was very strange. It seemed that only his face was black, and the rest of his skin was normal.
Who was this black woman? Why was she in Mengdie's room? Just as he was wondering, a scream came from behind. "Fire, miss, fire, let's get out quickly."
Hong Yu rushed into the room and helped the black person with both hands.
Jin Yijue was dumbfounded. That woman was actually his fiancée, Xi Mengdie?!
Hearing Hong Yu's voice and her running towards her, Xi Mengdie cursed in her heart. Yijue knew …
She suddenly pushed Hong Yu away and rushed into Jin Yijue's arms. "Yijue, I was poisoned. That's why I became like this."
The fire in the room was getting bigger and bigger. Jin Yijue's handsome face was tense as he took Xi Mengdie out of the room. Hong Yu also quickly ran out of the courtyard to find someone to put out the fire.
Such a huge commotion naturally attracted the attention of others. Very quickly, Xi Mengdie's courtyard was filled with a bunch of busybodies who wanted to watch the show.
Jin Yijue stood stiffly in the same place, letting Xi Mengdie nestle in his arms. Now, his thoughts were a little messy, or rather, he was a little unable to accept … the fact that Xi Mengdie suddenly became black charcoal.
Very quickly, the fire was put out and Jin Yijue also came back to his senses. He slightly furrowed his pair of handsome thick eyebrows and gently pushed Xi Mengdie away. Looking at the two white dots left in her eyes … for a moment, he was speechless.
Xi Mengdie looked at him with teary eyes, looking pitiful. "Yijue …"
Jin Yijue turned his face away, disgust flashing in his eyes. "Have you seen a doctor?"
"Father and the people in the family are trying their best to find or bid for the seven-colored crystals. Once the seven-colored crystals are gathered, we can ask Doctor He for the medicine. At that time, Mengdie will be able to recover her original appearance."
Jin Yijue's expression softened a little when he heard this. He shifted his gaze back to Xi Mengdie's face, but he still couldn't stand it and frowned.
"I'll go ask the family head what other colors of crystals are lacking. The Jin family will also help find them." After speaking, he turned and left the courtyard.
"Yijue!" Xi Mengdie cried out. Yijue didn't comfort her or promise her that even if she became like this, he would never leave her …
Thinking that Jin Yijue might hate her because of this, she panicked even more. She wanted to cry out loud, but when she saw the group of people outside the courtyard waiting to see a good show, she restrained herself.
No, even if she wanted to cry, she definitely couldn't cry in front of these people. These people only deserved to see her, Xi Mengdie's, pride!
She turned around and suppressed the anger and discomfort in her chest. She said softly, "Hongyu, help me into the house."
Hongyu didn't dare to say anything and hurriedly helped Xi Mengdie into the house. As soon as she entered, she was slapped in the face.
"Cheap maid, didn't I tell you not to let Yijue into the room? How did you guard him …" Xi Mengdie, who had always been gentle, started punching and kicking her personal maid as if she was about to explode in anger.
