I was too kind the last time around, and it cost me another use of this skill. I mustn’t make the same mistake anymore.
It was at this moment that Zu An suddenly widened his eyes. He stared at something right behind Qiao Xueying in disbelief for a moment before exclaiming in surprise, “Honey, you’re here?”
This time around, Qiao Xueying didn’t even bother to turn around. She sneered coldly, “Did you think that I would fall for the same trick twice?”
But the next moment, she suddenly found her body trembling uncontrollably. A thin layer of ice had formed on her body, freezing her in place.
Chu Chuyan slowly walked over as she said, “So you were Snow. I should have guessed.”
“Y-young miss…” Qiao Xueying’s heart shuddered.
It really is her! Damn it, it’s all Zu An’s fault! If not for him distracting me, I wouldn’t have been done in so easily!
So, she shot Zu An a glare.
You have successfully trolled Qiao Xueying for +530 Rage!
Zu An was rendered speechless. What is wrong with this woman? The one curbing you here is Chu Chuyan! What does this have to do with me?
“Young miss? I don’t think I’m worthy of being addressed that way by you,” said Chu Chuyan.
As she spoke, she walked over to Zu An’s side. With a swipe of her hand, frost immediately cloaked the vines and weakened their structure, allowing her to break them with just a tpa of her finger.
Excited, Zu An rushed forward to give her a big hug. “How wonderful, honey! I never thought that I would meet you here. Come, give me a hug of love!”
Chu Chuyan dodged his hug with a sidestep, ignoring him altogether. She turned her eyes back onto Qiao Xueying.
Many emotions flickered across Qiao Xueying’s face, and in the end, she sighed deeply and said, “I’m deeply grateful for young miss’ care and concern over the years. It’s just that I already have a master, so I ask for your forgiveness.”
“Who’s the master you speak of? Shi Kun?” asked Chu Chuyan.
Qiao Xueying shook her head and said, “I apologize, but I cannot reveal that to you.”
Chu Chuyan frowned. She wasn’t sure about how she should deal with the current situation either. In the midst of this silence, Zu An stepped forward and offered a solution, “Isn’t this easy to deal with? Ask her any question you want to, and if she refuses to answer or lies, I’ll strip off a piece of her clothing. If she refuses to speak till the end, I’ll take off all of her clothes and tie her to a tree at the entrance of the forest so that everyone can admire her body.”
“…” Chu Chuyan.
Qiao Xueying’s body trembled in fury. “You bastard!”
You have successfully trolled Qiao Xueying for +1024 Rage!
Zu An sighed softly and said, “You also know that you serve a different master, so you should have known what your plight would be if you got caught. If you’re going to continue insisting on your silence, I’m going to start.”
He picked his sword back up and pointed it toward her robe.
Chu Chuyan stepped forward and stopped him. “Enough. It won’t do to humiliate a woman like this.”
Zu An shrugged. “We’re the only ones here. You’re a woman, and I’ve already seen everything her body has to offer. How can this be considered a humiliation?”
Chu Chuyan found herself at a loss for words. For some reason, Zu An’s words always had their own twisted logic that made it hard to argue against him.
Qiao Xueying glared at Zu An so sharply that it felt like daggers were going to fly right out of her eyes. That matter was her greatest shame, but this man actually spoke of it as if it was nothing at all.
You have trolled Qiao Xueying for +512 Rage!
Chu Chuyan waved her hand and dispelled the frost shrouding Qiao Xueying’s body. “Leave.”
Qiao Xueying was stunned. “You’re letting me off?”
“Your motives for approaching me were impure, but it doesn’t change the fact that we had been sisters for many years. I can’t bring myself to take your life. I wish you all the best from now onward,” said Chu Chuyan.
