BXBX NOVEL Chapter 448: 448: You Can Never Fully Understand Me
She was being ordered around by this young man as if she were a mere servant.
It was terrifying!
Yan Pianpian’s two old servants’ faces were purple with rage!
“Miss Pianpian, this boy is too disrespectful! Let us retaliate and exterminate him! You don’t need to worry!” spite filled the air in the servants’ voices.
“Stand down,” Yan Pianpian bit her teeth.
“Miss!”
“Enough, stand down! I can handle this situation!” Yan Pianpian’s face showed displeasure.
With no other choice, the two old servants reluctantly escorted Yan Yu and others downstairs, bristling with indignation.
“Ah…” Yan Pianpian sighed, walked over to Huang Xiaolong again, and asked sorrowfully. “Are you… you… really not going to let me off?”
Huang Xiaolong smiled, “Let you off? But didn’t you agree to it? Honouring a bet you’ve lost. However, I’ve also said that I wouldn’t force you. But… now that we’ve met, why aren’t you greeting me properly?”
“You…” Tears welled up in Yan Pianpian’s eyes. As a woman of high status, she was always greeted by her servants, never the other way around.
But the situation was beyond her control. Huang Xiaolong’s means made her deeply fear him. She felt vulnerable in his presence.
Moreover, she had indeed lost to Huang Xiaolong before and should be serving him…
Yan Pianpian was at fault.
“Hurry up,” Huang Xiaolong urged impatiently. “If you don’t know how to greet properly, then I…”
“Okay, I…I…” Yan Pianpian, teary-eyed, gritted her teeth and spoke so quietly she was barely audible, “Pianpian greets… greets… greets Young Master Huang… May Young Master Huang be auspicious.”
“Hmm, not bad,” Huang Xiaolong said, smiling contentedly.
Both Xia Ying and Jin Mengqi at the side wondered if they were hearing things.
“Now, are you satisfied? Can I go now?” Yan Pianpian asked bitterly.
“Sure. You may go,” Huang Xiaolong replied with a smile.
Yan Pianpian immediately turned to leave, but not before giving Xia Ying and Jin Mengqi a warning glance. “If any of you dare to gossip about what happened today, I, Yan Pianpian, will never let you off! Hmph!”
With that, Yan Pianpian ran off like a fugitive.
Only Xia Ying and Jin Mengqi remained on the second floor of the dining hall.
Now that the people from the Yan Family were gone, both women felt an immense sense of relief.
Both took a deep breath and looked at Huang Xiaolong in shock.
Today, whether it was Huang Xiaolong’s revealed strength or Yan Pianpian’s attitude towards him, both were startling enough to stupefy anyone.
It wasn’t too surprising for Jin Mengqi, who had personally witnessed Huang Xiaolong’s previous exhibitions of power.
Xia Ying, however, had her worldview completely upended.
“You…you…you…”, Xia Ying stammered, unable to find her words.
“What’s up with me? I saved you. If it weren’t for me, you’d be that guy’s meal by now. Aren’t you going to thank me? Are you planning to dedicate yourself to me?” Huang Xiaolong teased Xia Ying.
“Yes…Thank you,” Xia Ying nodded vigorously. As a woman who always returns favor for favor, she made a mental note to repay Huang Xiaolong in any way possible for saving her today.
“So…the nod means…you’re really going to commit yourself to me?” Huang Xiaolong asked, surprised.
Xia Ying quickly shook her head, “No…I won’t commit myself…But, I will show my gratitude.”
At the side, Jin Mengqi added, “Miss Xia, Master Huang will be participating in this year’s tournament. So, we hope you will keep what you saw today of his strength confidential.”
“Of course, I understand,” Xia Ying readily agreed.
Although the Xia family was seeking Huang Xiaolong’s secret body refinement technique, Xia Ying knew that if they continued to covet his secrets, it would eventually lead to their destruction.
So, Xia Ying made up her mind to subtly steer her family away from prying into Huang Xiaolong’s secrets.
“Are you a grandmaster of Martial Arts too? Just now, you defeated two grandmasters with ease…I believe at least you’re a grandmaster. But it’s strange, I didn’t notice you using any True Qi…” Xia Ying was puzzled.
“Haha~~ I’m too lazy to tell you anything more, you’re not my wife or maidservant, why should I tell you? In short, don’t try to guess about me, you’ll never figure me out,” Huang Xiaolong grinned, “Sometimes, curiosity can get you killed.”
His words carried a hint of warning.
Xia Ying was startled, mulling over Huang Xiaolong’s words – can curiosity really get one killed?
The more Xia Ying thought, the more frightened she became, rushing to say, “I understand. I’ll take my leave then, we’ll meet again on the day of the tournament… As I said before, I will definitely repay you for your kindness today. When Xia Ying makes a promise, she keeps it.”
As she finished, Xia Ying got up and started to leave.
“Wait~~~” Huang Xiaolong lazily called out.
“Um?” Xia Ying paused, and turned around, “What… What else do you need?”
“It seems like you have always been unlucky since you were young. You often have nightmares and anyone who cares for you, if they confess their feelings to you will end up unfortunate,” Huang Xiaolong smiled.
Xia Ying was taken aback, “How… How did you know?”
“I just know,” Huang Xiaolong replied with a slight smile.
“Yes… ever since I started school, I’ve had many male classmates confess their feelings to me, but their endings were always tragic. I remember in university, there was a Canadian classmate who confessed his love to me underneath the dormitory building. The next day… the next day, he was killed in a car accident… it was so strange. The school bus fell off a cliff into a mountain stream, but almost everyone on board was fine, except… except for that Canadian classmate, he… he died from the fall… Similar incidents happened multiple times… any man who pursued me either died or was injured. I don’t know why…”
Xia Ying looked confused and afraid, “Also, I… I have indeed been unlucky since childhood and often have nightmares…”
Upon hearing this, even Jin Mengqi looked at Huang Xiaolong in amazement. “Master Huang, what is going on?”
“Ah… Miss Xia, your destiny is too strong for most men to handle. If they insist on pursuing you, they’ll naturally suffer,” Huang Xiaolong laughed. “If you don’t find a man capable of taming your destiny, you’ll remain single for the rest of your life.”
“As for why you were unlucky since childhood and have nightmares… there’s a problem with the bracelet you’re wearing,” Huang Xiaolong smiled.
