ch 233 – An Unexpected Discovery; Chasing Away The Best (2)
Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded at him and added “I am okay!” to comfort him.
“Xiao Xiao!” Mrs. Cheng ran over and threw her arms around her. Crying, she said, “Xiao Xiao, you nearly scared me to death. I am so glad you are alright….”
Mrs. Cheng was also particularly worry about her oldest daughter. She was the one who carried the weight for the family every time; whereas she wasn’t able to ever do much herself. Especially just now, she was so worried she was going to lose this daughter.
“Mom, don’t worry. I really am okay. Me, dad, and Uncle Zhou are all okay. You can relax!”
Her mother’s trembling body let Cheng Xiao Xiao felt her love and concern for her all over again. She wiped away her mother’s tears with her sleeve and said, “Mom, don’t worry. Nobody can hurt me!”
“Alright, Yuqin. Xiao Xiao still have to save these mystical beasts. Let’s not all stand around here. Everybody goes back to their place!” Cheng Biyuan pulled his wife aside and away from his daughter.
Cheng Zheng Yuan stepped forward immediately and said, “Big sister, I can help!”
“No, no need. You all go inside the house will be helping me a lot. Now go!” smiled Cheng Xiao Xiao quietly.
“Big sister, how can you handle this all by youself?!”
“Zheng Yuan, listen to your older sister and go back!” said Cheng Biyuan with a deep voice.
Seeing that neither his father nor his sister seemed to be joking, Cheng Zheng Yuan finally nodded and left.
Under Cheng Biyuan and Zhou Jinjiang’s ushering and order, everybody retuned to their quarters, including the Willow villagers who came over to see what had happened. Everybody was sent home.
In order to avoid further drama, Cheng Xiao Xiao had little Yuteng to cordon off about 100 meters diameter of space. Under the thick foliage, even if someone wanted to peek, they won’t be able to see what was going on inside.
Cheng Xiao Xiao collected all the mystical beasts back into the dimension. It was only inside the dimension when little Yuteng could work her magic to bring them back to health.
When all the mystical beasts have been collected, Cheng Xiao Xiao flashed inside as well. She hadn’t forget that she had also collected that damn old man. She wondered if the dimension would be able to tame someone with his cultivation level.
Upon entering the dimension, Cheng Xiao Xiao immediately saw the confused-looking old man in grey. He stood dumbfounded in the open area in front of the villa, as though he was still out of it.
When he saw Cheng Xiao Xiao, he was shocked and stared at her with a deadly gaze.
At this moment in time, he was not able to have any killing intent or hatefulness toward the person in front of him. Contrarily, he felt a respect for her from the bottom of his heart, as though he wanted to recognize her as his mistress.
He was, again, stunned with this newfound emotion. Watching the person approaching him with killing intent, he could only feel anxiety and regret, and nothing else.
What… what had just happened?
He could not understand the change within him. With his cultivation level, nobody on this continent had the ability to control him. Yet, right now, he felt that he was controlled, and in a very willing way.
He felt that if the young woman in front of him tell him to kill himself right now, he wouldn’t even hesitate before he smashed his own skill and die in front of her.
Cheng Xiao Xiao stared at him coldly as his look altered along with his thoughts. Even though she was walking toward him, she was walking very, very slowly.
Other than being on her guard, she was also watching closely his reaction and the altering of his emotions.
Luckily, throughout the entire time, all she could saw on him was confusion, suspicion, anxiety, and regret etc., nothing along the line of killing intent and hatred.
