Chapter 5: Face is more important than life



Seeing that Ao looked visibly haggard after his spiritual energy dissipated, Song Xiwei hurriedly said, "Young Master, are you hungry? I'll go see and get you something to eat. Don't wander around, I'll be right back."

Aoqian nodded and watched Song Xiwei close the door.

After the footsteps faded into the distance, Aoqian's gaze suddenly shifted.

He turned to look out the window and pushed out with his palm.

The place was originally empty, but suddenly a red phantom appeared, and gradually, it became real.

"Greetings, Young Master. I have not revealed your whereabouts. I have come to inform you that this place is not safe to stay any longer. You should leave quickly!"

If Song Xiwei were present at this moment, she would definitely realize that this person was one of the group of people who had searched the room earlier.

Aoqian was completely different from the shy and evasive man he had been in front of Song Xiwei. The coldness and ruthlessness in his eyes were chilling.

...

Outside the inn, behind a tree, Song Xiwei stood with her arms crossed, squinting at the woman who was half a head shorter than her, and asked suspiciously, "Did Master really send you to help me? I don't believe it at all. You're just playing around, aren't you?"

"Sister Wei, how could you think of me like that? I'm just worried about you. You're so beautiful, I'm afraid that the young master of Chidu might have bad intentions towards you, so of course I have to protect you!" The woman said, reaching out to hug Song Xiwei's arm and shaking it coquettishly.

"Alright, Xiao Zhuang, stop fooling around. He's in a rather troublesome situation right now. Since he's in the mortal realm, we can't use magic recklessly. Helping him evade the pursuers is already giving me a headache enough. Why don't you go back? Aren't you the one who hates trouble the most? Don't get involved in this!"

Xiao Zhuang rested his face on Song Xiwei's shoulder. "No, Sister Wei's business is my business. I've already come all this way, how can I just go back like this? Besides, don't you need my help right now?"

"You?" Song Xi glanced at Xiao Zhuang.

Oh, how could she have almost forgotten? Xiao Zhuang's cooking skills are absolutely superb; even her grandmaster would occasionally be tempted by the delicious food Xiao Zhuang makes.

Thinking of Aoqian's frail health, I felt quite sorry for him.

It would be nice if Xiao Zhuang stayed to improve the meals.

Song Xiwei was persuaded, "Alright then, you can stay for now."

"Hehe, Sister Wei, I knew you were the best! Oh, right, when I came here just now, I saw a group of people acting suspiciously. One of them was lingering outside that window. Isn't that the room you and that young master stayed in?"

Xiao Zhuang pointed suspiciously in a direction. Song Xiwei wasn't surprised, but seemed thoughtful. "Hmm. I know."

Xiao Zhuang looked at Song Xiwei in surprise, "You know, Sister Wei, what if those people have ulterior motives? Wouldn't that young lord be in danger now?"

"There's no doubt that those people are definitely not good people. In Aoqian's current situation, no one in the entire Chidu is on his side. His only valuable asset is his pure Demon Lord bloodline. His cousin will definitely have to put in a lot of effort to capture him alive."

Hearing Song Xiwei's calm and rational speech, Xiao Zhuang became anxious, "Then why don't you hurry up and protect him?"

ā€œI’d like to too, but that young master is quite proud of himself,ā€ Song Xi sighed.

Xiao Zhuang seemed to understand but not quite, "Is face more important than life?"

Song Xiwei patted Xiao Zhuang on the shoulder, "Those shrimp soldiers and crab generals don't dare to fight him head-on. Although his primordial spirit is damaged, it doesn't mean he's powerless to fight back. Come on, let's go make something to eat first."

Xiao Zhuang immediately forgot about the lives of others and looked at Song Xiwei with starry eyes, saying, "I've recently learned a few new dishes, Sister Wei, they're definitely your favorites!"
