Chapter 123: The Unlucky Huo Family (1)
After hearing what the first elder said, Leng Ruoxue really didn’t want to explain anything. It seemed that not only did the first elder not understand what she meant, but he even seemed to have misunderstood something…
After sending off the Huo family’s first elder, Leng Qingtian and Elder Qiu found an excuse to go back to their rooms to rest. Only Leng Ruoxue and Freak were left in the large reception room.
“Xue’er, why didn’t you let me talk just now?” Freak’s face was full of dissatisfaction. If Xue’er hadn’t been pulling him back, he would have beaten someone up just now.
“Don’t tell me you want to beat up the Huo family’s first elder like how you beat up Huo Qing? That old man is merely a messenger,” Leng Ruoxue explained.
“Well, what you say is reasonable. Then I’ll go beat up Huo Qing,” Freak said very seriously after thinking about it.
“Why don’t you just beat up the Huo family’s patriarch as well?” Leng Ruoxue teased.?Why does Freak like to beat people up so much?!
“Okay, I’ll listen to Xue’er,” Freak said ingratiatingly. Then he turned around and walked out.
“Wait, where are you going?” Leng Ruoxue hurriedly grabbed Freak.
“Beat people up.”
Hearing the succinct answer from Freak, Leng Ruoxue couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat.?Freak is really violent.
“Damn Freak, stay still. All you know is to beat people up. The competition resumes the day after tomorrow. You can’t beat them up now,” Leng Ruoxue growled.
“Alright. I’ll go and beat them up after the competition,” Freak said obediently.?Boohoo… Xue’er is so fierce! I’m scared!
“…”
“Do you think you can beat up the Huo family just because you want to?” Leng Ruoxue glared at Freak. It was one thing to beat them up on the stage; the Huo family had to bear with it even though they were angry. But it would really not be a wise move if they provoked the Huo family off the stage. Moreover, it would give the Huo family a good reason to attack.
“Then what should we do?” Freak looked at Xue’er aggrievedly.
“Freak, let’s go back as soon as the competition ends. We’ll deal with those people slowly in the future!” Leng Ruoxue suggested. They were really too weak now. Improving their strength was the most important task.
“Fine!” Freak said reluctantly.
“Good!” Leng Ruoxue caressed Freak’s head like she was petting a pet.
“Xue’er.” Freak looked at Xue’er with shining eyes and hugged her.?Xue’er took the initiative to touch me again. I’m so happy!
“Freak, let go of me!” Leng Ruoxue looked at Freak who suddenly hugged her.?Damn Freak, I’m suffocating from you hugging so tightly.
“I don’t want to! You said you would let me hug you.”
“But you’re hugging me too tightly,” Leng Ruoxue said helplessly.
“Hehe! Xue’er, let’s do something bad tonight!” Freak suggested with a devious smile as he loosened his arms.
“Where?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously with raised brows.?Doing bad things! I like them!
“Xue’er, the Huo family has too much money to spend, so I think we should do something ‘good’ and spend some on their behalf,” Freak said very kindly. Since Xue’er didn’t want him to come openly, he should come secretly. After all, this marriage proposal made him feel uncomfortable, so he had to take revenge!
“Then let’s go late at night!” Leng Ruoxue said after some thought. Robbery and whatnot were the most enjoyable.
…
It was late at night, and most people were sleeping soundly.
Leng Ruoxue looked up. It was pitch-black. She didn’t expect even the heavens to take care of them. It was cloudy tonight, and such weather was the best for doing bad things.
While everyone was sound asleep, Leng Ruoxue and Freak quietly left the Elegance Lagoon Pavilion. They sat on Quill’s back and flew to the Huo family’s main residence. In her arms lay two small and cute foxes, one black and one white, and a small golden ‘snake’ coiled around her wrist.
With a face full of black lines, Leng Ruoxue looked at Dazzle and Rise, feeling a little helpless. She didn’t know if these two little fellows were bored to death, but they were so excited when they heard that they were going to do something bad! They immediately signed up to participate.
After reaching the Huo family’s main residence, Quill found a secluded place and descended…
…
About an hour later, the two humans and four beasts left the Huo residence in satisfaction.
“Freak, what was the powder you blew into Huo Yi’s room?” Leng Ruoxue asked curiously while sitting on Quill’s back.
“Medicine!”
“Of course I know it’s medicine. I’m asking what medicine it is.”
“A type of medicine that can cause a man to lose a certain function…” Freak explained very ambiguously. This kind of thing shouldn’t be explained too clearly. Anyway, he wouldn’t let anyone who dared to have any ideas about Xue’er off.
“…” Leng Ruoxue was speechless.?It can’t be what I think it is! Freak is too cruel!
Soon, they returned to the Elegance Lagoon Pavilion.
…
The next day, Leng Ruoxue and the others went to the restaurant downstairs for breakfast.
Just as she found a seat and sat down, she heard the discussion from the table beside her.
“Hey, did you hear? The Huo family was robbed last night. Not only were a lot of valuable things stolen, but a fire was also set off. I heard that at least a third of the Huo family’s mansion was burned away. What a pity! The Huo family’s mansion is even more luxurious and extravagant than the imperial palace of our South Dusk Empire,” Passerby A said with a mysterious expression.
“Your news isn’t the latest. It’s outdated,” Passerby B said disdainfully.
