Wow, that anime's plot is amazing!
"No!"
Dongfang Xiao's reaction was quite intense; he couldn't help but shout out and shrink back as much as possible.
She only vaguely understood what the wicked master and his wife were discussing, but she could grasp the core idea—to modify her own body.
This seemed to be a blind spot she had never noticed before, but upon closer reflection, it was indeed a bit frightening... Being all alone, emptying one's mind, and having no good protection, leaving one's body outside like that is actually a very dangerous thing.
And she never expected Jiang Chengcheng to say that to her face! You guys aren't serious, are you? There's no such clause in the contract!
Not to mention the kind of private education she's been receiving these past few days, it's hard not to think in these strange directions.
This Jiang teacher's wife isn't just bad, she's an absolute demon!
At this moment, the little queen finally understood what it meant to be like-minded. Compared to them, Sister Xie was simply a breath of fresh air... How did you end up with them?!
"Huh? What do you mean you don't want?"
Xu Shi turned to look at her, paused for a moment before realizing what she meant, "Don't worry, I won't do that to you unless you want to."
Indeed, he hadn't considered this aspect at first, but this also proves that he didn't have this idea at all—given the despicable nature of some people, if they wanted to do it, they would have done it long ago, why would they need to discuss it with you?
Besides, the situations between cheap students and good sisters are different. Dongfang Xiao is not like Shen Qin, and there is no irreconcilable conflict between them. There is no need to be so intense. It is better to slowly train her like boiling a frog in warm water.
The discussion I had with Jiang Chengcheng just now was just a very serious academic discussion (seriously).
Jiang Chengcheng didn't realize anything was wrong either; she was even more serious than Xu Shi.
Seriously, believe me!
"oh……"
That being said, the little empress clearly didn't have much trust in her bad master. Upon hearing this, she merely nodded meekly, showing no intention of moving back.
"Just believe him, he wouldn't do that to you."
Xie Qingyan couldn't help but laugh when she saw this. She went over and comforted the poor child whose brain had completely shut down, "Don't be so scared, sweetie."
"Um……"
With Sister Xie comforting her, Dongfang Xiao felt a little more at ease. Indeed, Sister Xie was the best.
"Alright, it's getting late, shall we take our leave?"
After everyone had taken turns using the little empress, Xu Shi stretched and slowly stood up. "Your Majesty, are you well? Shall we come again tomorrow or the day after?"
"..."
Dongfang Xiao didn't know what to say.
It's true that we hope they leave soon, but haven't you overlooked something?
Didn't you promise to give me private lessons on weapons knowledge? Does nobody remember?
But given the current situation, she didn't dare to speak up, otherwise, she might be used as a teaching tool...
"Could you allow me to organize things regarding the lecture?"
Fortunately, the wicked master's wife hadn't really forgotten. Looking at her calmly, she asked, "I've only just arrived in the main city, and some of the information I had before wasn't complete."
"...Then I'll have to trouble you, Madam Jiang."
The little empress raised an eyebrow, surprised that she still remembered, and unconsciously felt a little happy.
Finally, for the first time, she felt a little bit of goodwill towards this wicked teacher's wife.
...
"You're really something else, do you find it so fun to bully a little girl?"
On the way back, Xie Qingyan couldn't help but tease, "I think she was about to cry."
"This is not my problem."
Xu Shi didn't care and shrugged, "She chose this path herself. I told her everything before we made the deal, so no matter what happens now, she shouldn't even think about escaping."
Making a deal with the devil comes at a high price; this is nothing compared to what's to come.
"Oh my, you've come to act all high and mighty now?"
The woman chuckled, but she knew that what Xu Shi said was actually true.
"No way, I'm clearly a really bad guy."
Xu Shi shook his head; he was probably the only one in the world who would accept such an identity.
"But speaking of which, we don't seem to have seen that Ancient Sword Duke?"
Jiang Chengcheng noticed the blind spot, "Based on his previous behavior, he should be the one in power in this empire... Now that you're going too far, doesn't he have any reaction at all?"
"...I don't know exactly what he's thinking, but it's a good thing he doesn't care."
Xu Shi pondered for a moment and then said.
He had actually noticed this problem a long time ago. After all, he had promised Dongfang Xiao that he would deal with not only the Holy See, but also his good older brother... And as the First Madam said, Cheng Gujian was indeed deflated in the face of this situation.
This is actually quite illogical. Even if you're using the method of slowly boiling a frog and testing his limits step by step, how could he possibly be so tolerant?
He never thought that the previous private deal would be enough to completely keep the other party in check, but the other party seemed to have really fallen for his tricks. Not only did they tacitly approve of these new reforms, but now they have even stopped monitoring him.
Something unusual must be going on... but for the time being, he really couldn't figure out what the other party was up to.
However, he wasn't too worried, since he only had two territories in the Hualan Empire: Silver Pine Island and Cat Cult.
He had prepared backup plans for both sides, so Cheng Gujian wouldn't dare to act rashly. Even if something unexpected happened, he could handle it.
