Chapter 256: An Ear to Listen
"Are you trying to sow discord?", Shihong tried to salvage the situation.
The odd smell of various mixed poisons and aphrodisiacs entered through the small window that spilled the rays of the sun inside the crampy room that made it look more eerie than the person sitting in front of her and Xing planned to get out of this place soon if she could not find Old Rong. She is not willing to take a chance with this vile person ever again.
Once bit twice shy!
Xing had that much sense. Revenge is important but not so important as to lose some more things valuable to her, " It’s upto you to believe!", she didn’t want to argue with him or convince him any further. He is no kin to her and she is not obligated in anyway to help him transform or listen to his deepest worries and support him. She was never a altruistic person anyway!
Xing retracted her gaze to the floor and slowly started to untie the rope tied in her wrist and was planning to whistle to get Bai Li’s attention. He can teleport her to the carriage back in no time as she didn’t know where she is now.
As Xing was contemplating, she felt a sharp gaze on her that made her shudder unconsciously.
"What do you want with me?", she asked the one looking at her without even blinking his eyes and the fondness in his eyes made Xing feel chillness to her bones.
Gee! You are my enemy and you are supposed to look at me with animosity not fondness! Don’t creep me out like this!
" I can see why everyone wants to protect you...", Shihong said leaning on the back of his chair and crossing his leg, "You are ethereal!", he placed his hand on his knee and began to tap it with his fingers.
"So, are you going to let me go?", Xing asked back. She had no interest in chatting with him.
