In fact, deep down, he felt that Leng Ruoxue was more suitable for their young master than Shui Xinran. He originally thought that while Shui Xinranâs talent was mediocre, she was still the eldest young lady of the Shui family and the number one beauty on the Ling Feng Continent. She was barely qualified to be the future mistress of the Huo family. However, not only was Shui Xinran not as strong as Leng Ruoxue, but she also paled in comparison in what she had the most pride inâbeauty.?Alas! Shui Xinran isnât worthy of our young master no matter how I think about it now.
âErm⦠Miss Leng, donât be in a hurry to decline this matter. In my opinion, you should consider it carefully. As for Shui Xinran, I have to go back and discuss it with the patriarch before we can make the final decision,â the first elder said without giving up. He was even sure in his heart that if it werenât for Shui Xinran, Leng Ruoxue would definitely agree to marry their young master.
After hearing what the first elder said, Leng Ruoxue really didnât want to explain anything. It seemed that not only did the first elder not understand what she meant, but he even seemed to have misunderstood somethingâ¦
After sending off the Huo familyâs first elder, Leng Qingtian and Elder Qiu found an excuse to go back to their rooms to rest. Only Leng Ruoxue and Freak were left in the large reception room.
âXueâer, why didnât you let me talk just now?â Freakâs face was full of dissatisfaction. If Xueâer hadnât been pulling him back, he would have beaten someone up just now.
âDonât tell me you want to beat up the Huo familyâs first elder like how you beat up Huo Qing? That old man is merely a messenger,â Leng Ruoxue explained.
âWell, what you say is reasonable. Then Iâll go beat up Huo Qing,â Freak said very seriously after thinking about it.
âWhy donât you just beat up the Huo familyâs patriarch as well?â Leng Ruoxue teased.?Why does Freak like to beat people up so much?!
âOkay, Iâll listen to Xueâer,â Freak said ingratiatingly. Then he turned around and walked out.
âWait, where are you going?â Leng Ruoxue hurriedly grabbed Freak.
âBeat people up.â
Hearing the succinct answer from Freak, Leng Ruoxue couldnât help but break out in cold sweat.?Freak is really violent.
âDamn Freak, stay still. All you know is to beat people up. The competition resumes the day after tomorrow. You canât beat them up now,â Leng Ruoxue growled.
âAlright. Iâll go and beat them up after the competition,â Freak said obediently.?Boohoo⦠Xueâer is so fierce! Iâm scared!
ââ¦â
âDo you think you can beat up the Huo family just because you want to?â Leng Ruoxue glared at Freak. It was one thing to beat them up on the stage; the Huo family had to bear with it even though they were angry. But it would really not be a wise move if they provoked the Huo family off the stage. Moreover, it would give the Huo family a good reason to attack.
âThen what should we do?â Freak looked at Xueâer aggrievedly.
âFreak, letâs go back as soon as the competition ends. Weâll deal with those people slowly in the future!â Leng Ruoxue suggested. They were really too weak now. Improving their strength was the most important task.
âFine!â Freak said reluctantly.
âGood!â Leng Ruoxue caressed Freakâs head like she was petting a pet.
âXueâer.â Freak looked at Xueâer with shining eyes and hugged her.?Xueâer took the initiative to touch me again. Iâm so happy!
âFreak, let go of me!â Leng Ruoxue looked at Freak who suddenly hugged her.?Damn Freak, Iâm suffocating from you hugging so tightly.
âI donât want to! You said you would let me hug you.â
âBut youâre hugging me too tightly,â Leng Ruoxue said helplessly.
âHehe! Xueâer, letâs do something bad tonight!â Freak suggested with a devious smile as he loosened his arms.
âWhere?â Leng Ruoxue asked curiously with raised brows.?Doing bad things! I like them!
âXueâer, the Huo family has too much money to spend, so I think we should do something âgoodâ and spend some on their behalf,â Freak said very kindly. Since Xueâer didnât want him to come openly, he should come secretly. After all, this marriage proposal made him feel uncomfortable, so he had to take revenge!
âThen letâs go late at night!â Leng Ruoxue said after some thought. Robbery and whatnot were the most enjoyable.
â¦
It was late at night, and most people were sleeping soundly.
Leng Ruoxue looked up. It was pitch-black. She didnât expect even the heavens to take care of them. It was cloudy tonight, and such weather was the best for doing bad things.
While everyone was sound asleep, Leng Ruoxue and Freak quietly left the Elegance Lagoon Pavilion. They sat on Quillâs back and flew to the Huo familyâs main residence. In her arms lay two small and cute foxes, one black and one white, and a small golden âsnakeâ coiled around her wrist.
With a face full of black lines, Leng Ruoxue looked at Dazzle and Rise, feeling a little helpless. She didnât know if these two little fellows were bored to death, but they were so excited when they heard that they were going to do something bad! They immediately signed up to participate.
After reaching the Huo familyâs main residence, Quill found a secluded place and descendedâ¦
â¦
About an hour later, the two humans and four beasts left the Huo residence in satisfaction.
âFreak, what was the powder you blew into Huo Yiâs room?â Leng Ruoxue asked curiously while sitting on Quillâs back.
âMedicine!â
âOf course I know itâs medicine. Iâm asking what medicine it is.â
âA type of medicine that can cause a man to lose a certain functionâ¦â Freak explained very ambiguously. This kind of thing shouldnât be explained too clearly. Anyway, he wouldnât let anyone who dared to have any ideas about Xueâer off.
ââ¦â Leng Ruoxue was speechless.?It canât be what I think it is! Freak is too cruel!
Soon, they returned to the Elegance Lagoon Pavilion.
â¦
The next day, Leng Ruoxue and the others went to the restaurant downstairs for breakfast.
Just as she found a seat and sat down, she heard the discussion from the table beside her.
âHey, did you hear? The Huo family was robbed last night. Not only were a lot of valuable things stolen, but a fire was also set off. I heard that at least a third of the Huo familyâs mansion was burned away. What a pity! The Huo familyâs mansion is even more luxurious and extravagant than the imperial palace of our South Dusk Empire,â Passerby A said with a mysterious expression.
âYour news isnât the latest. Itâs outdated,â Passerby B said disdainfully.
