Here came the wails from the basement where White Dragon King lived.
In the late night, although the room was soundproof, Yuan Xi could still hear the wails.
Afraid of Ding Tongâs bad temper, Rilla hastily put away her stuff and ran away after satisfying Yuan Xi.
So, Yuan Xi slept alone, but he started to have nightmares after midnight.
Suddenly, he had an extremely queer dream at three.
In the dream, his face was badly mutilated, and his blood was all over his face. Like smelly mud, he was crawling on the ground as he was unable to stand up.
It was so real as if it had really happened. Dumbfounded and startled, he instantly woke up.
And his housekeeper happened to knock on the door.
He frowned and asked, âWhatâs the matter?â
âMy master, weâve got a trouble.â
Here came Mr. Fuâs frantic voice.
Yuan Xi frowned again as Mr. Fu had been his housekeeper ever since he was a child. He knew Mr. Fu had always been very calm and composed.
Even his fatherâs death failed to panic him like this.
So, hearing Mr. Fuâs tone, Yuan Xi realized that something was wrong.
He hastily got up and opened the door in slippers, asking Mr. Fu, âWhat?â
âMiss Ding...â
âWhat happened to Ding Tong?â Yuan Xi got worried.
Knowing Yuan Xiâs feelings, Mr. Fu had no choice but to force himself to answer, âShe had just killed... White Dragon King.â
âHeâs dead?â
Yuan Xi was shocked as his heart almost stopped beating.
He hastily rushed to the basement.
Seeing Yuan Xiâs sharp reaction, Mr. Fu followed him and said, âWait up, my master!â
Mr. Fu asked Yuan Xi to take his time.
However, Yuan Xi was too worried to hear Mr. Fuâs words.
Ding Tong was such a fool. How could she kill a man like White Dragon King?
How could they leave Thailend now?
Yuan Xi dashed to the basement. His face was ghostly pale with fright because of White Dragon Kingâs death.
Ding Tong was wiping her bloody hands with a towel. She casually kicked the body in the blood, disgustedly complaining, âWhat a shame, old fart! Sorry you could die so fast.â
Hearing Ding Tongâs words, Yuan Xi instantly slapped her hard in the face.
Not noticing Yuan Xiâs presence, Ding Tong didnât expect that her face would be slapped by him.
Without being prepared, Ding Tong was slapped down on the butt.
Sitting on the ground, Ding Tong doubtfully swiveled and glared at Yuan Xi, âAre you insane, my master?â
âIâm insane?â With red eyes, he swiveled to see the body on the ground. And then he grabbed Ding Tong by the collar, spitefully asking, âAre you idiot? How can we leave Thailend with his blood on your hands?â
Hearing it, Ding Tong instantly got rid of Yuan Xiâs hands and asked, âMy master, you donât have to worry about it. Trust me, escaping here unscathed is as easy as killing him.â
Yuan Xi thought it was very conceited of her to say so, and he spitefully asked her in a cold voice, âEscape here unscathed? Donât you know heâs got contacts with many people? What will happen to us if news of his death, rather than his disappearance, spread like wildfire?â
âSo what? Are you afraid of being cursed or being jinxed by the wizard?â
Yuan Xi was always sensitive to those kinds of stuff.
He also believed them all.
He wasnât afraid of killing people, but he couldnât kill some people like White Dragon King.
He didnât have time to argue with Ding Tong as he swiveled to crouch down beside the body, checking White Dragon Kingâs breath.
Seeing what Yuan Xi was doing, Ding Tong said, âSave it! Heâs long gone. If you had been here five minutes earlier, he might have been still alive. Now heâs just a dead body.â
Although Ding Tong was sure of White Dragon Kingâs death.
Yuan Xi sensed the faint breath near White Dragon Kingâs nose.
Mr. Fu watched Ding Tong and Yuan Xi with mixed expressions, wondering if he should walk up to prevent them from arguing.
Noticing that Yuan Xiâs finger was held out toward White Dragon Kingâs nose, Mr. Fu asked, âMy master, may I ask a doctor for him?â
âHurry up and send him to the hospital now. I want him back at all costs.â
Mr. Fu instantly set about calling bodyguards to send White Dragon King to hospital, as he knew the Yuan Family would be trapped in great trouble if White Dragon King was found killed by the Yuan Family.
Ding Tong touched her slapped face and watched Mr. Fu busy sending the old fart to the hospital with the bodyguards.
She disdainfully frowned. âWhatâs the point of saving him? Heâs told me everything we want. He is useless to us.â
Yuan Xi swiveled to look at her.
Mr. Fu had intended to ask Yuan Xi if he would accompany White Dragon King.
Now he realized that he should go to the hospital with White Dragon King after seeing Yuan Xi stare at Ding Tong.
After the bodyguards and Mr. Fu left, Yuan Xi asked Ding Tong, âWhat did White Dragon King tell you?â
Dong Tong touched her slapped face and whined, âWhy do you think Iâll tell you?â
âWhy not? All you did is to tell me everything I want, right?â
Yuan Xi wanted to elicit words from Ding Tong.
However, Ding Tong still remembered Yuan Xiâs slap. She was so angry that she said, âWhy the hell did you slap me in the face if you really thought I did it all for your good?â
Yuan Xi knew that she minded the slap, and he instantly said, âIâm sorry. I was too emotional.â
Yuan Xiâs apology did dismiss lots of anger from her mind.
Yet she hadnât got what she really wanted.
She looked at Yuan Xi and said, âDonât you think I should be awarded? You know, Iâve got important information you want.â
âWhat do you want? Just say it.â
âYour kiss.â
Gazing at Yuan Xi, Ding Tong directly asked.
Hearing the request, Yuan Xi didnât make a move but frowned a bit.
Not seeing his reaction, Ding Tong got annoyed, âWhatâs wrong? Iâm too ugly?â
âFine.â
After walking to her, Yuan Xi lifted her chin and pressed his lips on hers.
He just wanted to go through the motion, but Ding Tong was way too sassy.
Feeling Yuan Xiâs lips were on hers, she instantly grabbed the initiative and kissed him intensively, her arms around his neck.
After the French Kiss, Yuan Xi peeled Ding Tong off himself and asked, âCan you tell me now?â
âI donât want to tell you.â
Putting on airs, she was still annoyed.
Yuan Xiâs brows were furrowed as his features turned dark.
Seeing his stone-cold face, Ding Tong frowned and deliberated for a moment, saying, âFine. Iâll tell you.â
âIâm all ears.â
Smiling and walking around in the room full of bloody smell, Ding Tong held up the whip in her hand and said, âIâve figured it out without his confession.â
âFigured it out?â
Yuan Xi frowned. âYou said youâve elicited words from him, havenât you?â
âHe refused to tell me anything, or I wouldnât have beaten him to death. Every time I asked him questions, heâd answer me in the language of Thailend, but I donât know the language.â
Swiveling to leave, Yuan Xi felt he was fooled by Ding Tong.
Ding Tong hastily said, âPlease hear me out!â
âI thought heâd told you what I want to know.â
Since Yuan Xi didnât stop walking, Ding Tong quickly said, âWhite Dragon King didnât admit that Song Yunxuan revived in a new guise, but Iâve got an idea to prove it. I can make Song Yunxuan admit that she is Gu Changge.â
Ding Tongâs words made Yuan Xi stop.
Knowing her words intrigued Yuan Xi, Ding Tong continued, âAlso, with so many masters of same knowledge in Thailend, even if White Dragon King didnât tell us how to deal with Song Yunxuan, we can invite other masters to wipe her out as long as we can prove that Song Yunxuan has revived in a new guise. What do you say, my master?â
Yuan Xiâs eyes narrowed.
Of course. What Ding Tong said was right.
Her ideas were feasible.
However, how to make Song Yunxuan admit that she was Gu Changge?
Yuan Xiâs mind was full of stuff like this.
Realizing what was on Yuan Xiâs mind, Ding Tong said, âI know how to make Song Yunxuan admit that sheâs Gu Changge.â
Yuan Xi turned around and looked at her with great interest. âPray tell.â
Ding Tong grinned and slyly said, âFine, I will make her give herself away. But first of all, my master, Iâve got a request.â
âAs long as you can defeat Song Yunxuan, Iâll promise you anything you want.â
âWhat about marriage? Would you promise to marry me?â
Gazing at Yuan Xi, Ding Tongâs eyes were filled with anticipation.
With a moment of hesitation, Yuan Xi got stuttered.
Ding Tong frowned. âIf you donât promise to marry me, I wonât help you.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Staring at Ding Tong, Yuan Xiâs eyes went cold.
While Ding Tongâs eyes were filled with stubbornness and persistence.
After deliberation, Yuan Xi said, âI promise to marry you. Tell me your solutions.â
Ding Tong was pleased by his answer, and she flashed a devilish smile. âItâs simple. To make her confess, we have to find out her Achillesâ heel and force her to give the game away.â
