Chapter 259: The One Who Broke Him
Noticing Xing being nonchalant about Chenglie, Shihong continued his story to Xing’s dismay.
"So my father..."
"Can’t you be concise and tell me what you want?", Xing lost all her patience.
Is this new kind of torture? Forcing someone to listen to them?
"I told you before. I need you to listen to my past!!!", Shihong shouted that startled Xing and she realised that she has no choice but to listen to his ramblings until Chenglie gets there. By now the children were brought out of the tunnels safely and Xing could sense Bai Li out there talking with the soldiers who helped them out and it seemed like he was using spells to mask the noises they made.
"Well, Gee! Continue then...", Xing pouted at Shihong and she could see him tensing up slightly as if he wondered if there is something wrong with the scenario there.
What she didn’t know was that her pout was too cute...! Her cuteness even made a villain speechless! If Chenglie was there he’d have killed Shihong then and there since he had seen this cute side of Xing.
But Xing’s expression turned sombre immediately as she could conclude it was only she and Shihong now in that shack and others were in a safer distance and unless he is going to communicate using a signal flare, others aren’t in much danger.
Xing who was in a bind to listen to Shihong did what she did best ... She didn’t care about Shihong’s past or suffering and only pretended to listen.
Shihong told Xing how he accidentally found Old Rong in a sketchy place which is prohibited for entry in the palace and how he started to chat with him each night when there is no one around and how he mentioned he was the God of Fire wrongfully held there and asked his help to get out of the Palace. But Shihong who was hell bent on getting accepted by his father as a Princess, never heeded his advice.
