Chapter 2254: Chapter 2254: Gossiping
Everyone began to chatter, completely unaware that Situtu Xueer’s actions might have been inappropriate.
"By the way, isn’t that Minister Zhao the Emperor’s favorite? Won’t there be trouble with the Princess Consort of War Prince treating him like this?" someone finally realized.
"Serves him right! Who told him to spread rumors? First, he says the War Prince is rebelling, then he claims this demonic outbreak was caused by the War Prince. If it weren’t for the sudden appearance of the Princess Consort of War Prince, I’d almost believed it. Gossiping like this, really annoying."
"Exactly, Minister Zhao is too detestable. The War Prince really should teach him a lesson so he won’t dare speak nonsense again." The master who was initially silent said angrily.
Everyone was gossiping in the tea house.
Xuexue escorted Zhao Yin out of the tea house, avoiding the streets and deliberately walking through alleyways.
Zhao Yin was also a smart man; the more he noticed, the more worried he became, and nervously asked, "Princess Consort of War Prince, where do you intend to take me?"
Xuexue used the dagger she held and coldly said, "Stop talking nonsense, walk forward."
Zhao Yin felt a pain in his neck and dared not utter a sound, deeply resenting Xuexue. This wretched woman was too vile; to dare treat him like this. Someday, he’d make her experience the power of the Gu Insects.
The street was bustling, but the alley was silent. Xuexue confirmed no one was around and suddenly threw Zhao Yin into the space.
"Oh! You little brat, coming in without warning, almost crushed me to death." Inside the space, Little Tiger’s voice howled.
It seemed when Xuexue threw Zhao Yin in, he hit Little Tiger.
"Who... who... who are you? What... what... is this place?" Zhao Yin’s terrified voice emerged.
"Bang!"
A loud noise followed, and there was no more sound inside.
Xuexue asked worriedly, "Little Tiger, you didn’t kill him, did you?"
"Master, don’t worry, I just knocked him out. That little brat hit me earlier. If I don’t give him a beating, I won’t feel comfortable."
Only then did Xuexue relax and instructed, "Don’t kill him too quickly; I still need him!"
"That guy looks sharp-faced and monkey-like, so ugly. What’s the use of keeping him? Might as well kill him." Little Tiger disdainfully said while observing the skinny Zhao Yin lying on the ground.
Xuexue: "Do you still remember those insect people?"
As soon as the insect people were mentioned, Little Tiger got a headache. Every day in the space, he could see those insect people, especially Xiao Taohong, who would periodically howl at the insect people like a banshee. That crying sound was like magic, haunting his dreams. Forgetting them would be strange!
"I wish I could forget, but I can’t." Little Tiger said helplessly in the space.
Outside the space, as Xuexue headed towards the alley exit, she said, "This person can save those insect people. You must treat him well, don’t let him die."
Upon hearing this, Little Tiger and Xiao Taohong showed expressions of surprise.
"Oh my! Xiao Taohong, this is wonderful, finally I won’t have to hear your crying anymore." Little Tiger’s expression was exaggerated, almost to the point of kneeling to thank the heavens.
Xiao Taohong became angry: "Why! Do you hate me? Don’t want to be with me anymore?"
"No, no, Xiao Taohong, don’t overthink. How could I hate you? I’m too fond of you!" Little Tiger replied with a smile, lowering his once proud head.
Xiao Taohong said angrily, "You say you don’t, but you clearly said you dislike my crying earlier."
