Chapter 40

If Chi Yang were to say it, this Xie Zhuowen was just looking for trouble. Of all the things he could use to show his loyalty, why did he have to give his sister to someone else as a concubine to be loyal?

‘What kind of logic is this!?’

But from what Old Man Chi said, Xiao Yuanyou was the eldest son.

“Father, you said that the Second Prince is the eldest son…” Chi Yang looked at Chi Yi and asked.

“It’s not that easy to ascend to the throne. Many people have fallen on this path…” He said, clearly stirring the conversation away from her question.

Chi Yang pursed her lips. This meant that he didn’t want to tell her.

Since Xie Zhuowen often sent people to cause trouble in the palace, and he suspected that it was the Empress who killed his sister, then Xiao Yuanqi’s childish stupidity was also….

‘Wow! Thinking about it carefully, this is extremely terrifying…’

Chi Yang originally wanted to ask, but Xiao Lianyi interrupted her, “I almost forgot. I ordered someone to boil some calming soup when I came. It’s probably not hot anymore. You should rest early after eating,”

As she spoke, she passed the soup to Chi Yang.

“Oh,” Chi Yang nodded and took the bowl of soup.

In a daze, Chi Yang thought, ‘Isn’t Shen Juan the only King with a different surname in the novel? Why did another one pop up?’

…

Although Chi Yang drank the calming soup, after experiencing such a massacre, she lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. When she finally fell into a slumber, she had an extremely strange dream.

In the dream, there was a large forest.

The protagonist in the dream was a snow-white kitten. No one in the forest liked the thin and weak creature. Only another little white cat, which was bigger and stronger than it, liked to play with it and protect it.

But gradually, black stripes grew on the big white cat.

It was like the stripes on the beast king that the little white cat had seen in the forest.

The little white cat was a little scared.

However, with the big white cat protecting him, the little white kitten did not dare to leave the big white cat.

Who knew that the big white cat would grow bigger and bigger, and its body would surpass His Majesty Beast King’s?

Only then did the little white cat feel that something was wrong. It also heard from the other animals in the forest that they had seen the big white cat fight with the Beast King and saw blood. The little white cat was even more afraid.

Hence, the small creature quietly packed its luggage and wanted to leave while the big white cat was not around.

At night, the big white cat came back to the little white cat’s nest.

It whispered into the little white cat’s ear, “Little wild cat… Will you leave me?”

The little white cat didn’t like the nickname, but when it thought about how it would be a wild cat after it left the nest, it didn’t refute it even though it felt uncomfortable.

The little white cat looked at the big white cat’s fur which was still dripping with blood. It was a little afraid, but it still smiled and said to the big white cat, “How could that be?”

“That’s good. If you run away, I’ll use the strongest metal in the world to build a cage for you. Don’t even think about walking out of the cage for the rest of your life…”

The big white cat’s breath hit the little white cat’s face, making the little creature think of a snake flicking its tongue, causing the little white cat to tremble.

“Of course, I won’t run away. If I do, you must lock me up in the strongest cage.”

Afraid that the big white cat would not believe it, the little white cat even used its claws to compare the size of the cage.

“Sure,” The big white cat gently patted the little white cat’s head and pulled the little white cat into its arms.

“Have I ever said that I don’t like to hear you lie?” The big white cat looked at the little white cat who was sleeping soundly and suddenly smiled.

The last scene was the big white cat opening its bloody mouth at the little white cat.

Chi Yang was immediately jolted awake from her dream, her body covered in a cold sweat.

Not to mention how scary it was for an animal to smile,

That smile was so similar to the smile Shen Jue had when he was fighting the killer.
