Chapter 5 This Woman Has a Way to Die
Facing the pressure from several masters, for a mortal like Xia Zhixuan who had no spiritual roots, it was like walking through the gates of hell.
I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on my back, and it felt as if all the strength in my body had been drained away.
Jingsheng was kind enough to support me. If I refused directly, I was afraid that it would hurt his reputation. However, thinking that I would need him to take care of the lives of me and my daughter in the future, I had to agree.
But unlike her dead husband, the strange pair of hands beside her were strong and sturdy. Just by holding her waist, Xia Zhixuan's waist became stiff on one side, as if there was a red-hot iron placed there, extremely hot.
Xia Zhixuan wanted to remind the other party, but didn't know how to start.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
The three-year-old girl also came over on her little feet to show her concern, with some traces of tears on her rosy face.
Seeing this, Xia Zhixuan couldn't help feeling a deep sense of guilt. She gently rubbed the other person's head and shook her head.
Caiwei is still young. If she has no protection, how can a mortal like me keep her safe?
Everything that happened today flashed slowly through Xia Zhixuan's mind like a slide show. The various dangers made her deeply realize that this kind of immortal sect was definitely not something that a woman like her could handle.
Before this, she still held on to a glimmer of hope that Xiao Jingsheng would treat her and her daughter well in the future because of their old friendship as the King of Dan. However, after experiencing the life-and-death situation today, she suddenly realized that she had taken it for granted.
If there is no relationship, who would risk his life to get involved in other people's mess?
She couldn't be sure, after experiencing today's danger, whether Xiao Jingsheng would still be willing to take good care of her and her daughter as before.
Because the fact that the other party was willing to risk his life to come here was already very rare, and I have already repaid the favor I owed my late husband.
Even if the other party gives up after this, there is nothing wrong with it.
She couldn't afford to gamble on this kind of thing, and she didn't dare to gamble.
Compared to outsiders, I know this young man who I have known for a long time well, at least I know him inside out...
Thinking of this, the resistance in her heart disappeared, her delicate body slowly relaxed, and her neck gently rested on the other's shoulder: "Jingsheng, can you help me go back to the room first?"
Xiao Jingsheng didn't know what had happened to the other person, but he could feel from the touch of his arm that the other person's body seemed to have become softer than before.
Especially when the subtle fragrance exhaled from the other person's mouth sprayed on his neck, he couldn't help but shudder all over and held the other person's hand tightly. Then, the increasingly delicate touch came from his fingertips. Even through the thin plain clothes, he still couldn't help but feel a little distracted.
He lowered his head and glanced at the other person's beautiful face, only to see that almost half of her face was buried in his shoulders. Such a charming posture made Xiao Jingsheng seem to understand something vaguely.
[Here it comes, here it comes. After feeling your strong sense of security, this girl is already in love with you. You should tell her your best bedtime story to coax her daughter to sleep, so as to avoid disturbing the two of you...]
Isn’t it a bit too fast?
This time, Xiao Jingsheng rarely refuted the narrator's suggestion, but he always paid more attention to the process, and he was somewhat nervous about making such a big move right at the start.
But when Xiao Jingsheng glanced at the broad chest below the other's collarbone again, he immediately killed the foolish thought.
What's fast?
What era is this?
As a young person of the 21st century, how can you have such feudal ideas?
What's wrong with getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later?
After so many bloody lessons from bootlickers and honest people, don’t you understand what it means to strike first and gain the advantage?
A girl is so proactive, do you have the heart to refuse?
Anyway, Xiao Jingsheng couldn't bear it.
"Ahem, ma'am, be careful on the steps."
Xiao Jingsheng coughed lightly, and changed his supporting posture to a hug, increasing the contact area between each other, and secretly observed the other's expression with his peripheral vision.
On the other hand, Xia Zhixuan's pretty face just blushed, and the orchid fragrance from her mouth spewed out more and more rapidly, but she did not make any move of resistance.
There's hope!
Xiao Jingsheng confirmed the signal without any hesitation and said hello to the little girl behind him: "Caiwei, your mother may be exhausted, let's take her back to her room together."
Hearing this, Xiao Caiwei also stepped forward and held her mother's left hand, and followed obediently: "Mom, Dad and I will help you together."
Hearing her daughter calling "mother" on the left and "daddy" on the right, Xia Zhixuan felt extremely embarrassed. However, it was obviously useless to explain to a little child, so she could only say "hmm" softly and turned to the side with a flushed face.
…
"And so, Snow White and the seven dwarfs lived a happy life..."
After a stick of incense had passed, Xiao Jingsheng gently patted Xiao Caiwei on the back, and the little story he was telling came to an end.
"Daddy, why does the prince have to stand guard outside the door every night?" Little Caiwei opened her big watery eyes wide, her heart full of curiosity.
"Because the prince is a warm-hearted man." Xiao Jingsheng was devastated when he saw that the other party had lost all desire to sleep.
"Then this prince must be a good man." Little Caiwei nodded, and then looked at her mother expectantly, hoping for her approval.
Xia Zhixuan, however, felt embarrassed and stammered, "hmm".
Then he gave Xiao Jingsheng a reproachful look.
"Caiwei, it's getting late, it's time to go to bed."
Xiao Jingsheng advised again, and the gentle expression on his face that was always on his face gradually turned serious.
"But, but I can't sleep."
Xiao Caiwei shrank her neck in grievance. She knew that it was not right for her to do so, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she would see those bad guys with bared teeth during the day.
Xiao Jingsheng's face was somewhat tense. Normally, the Dan King's little daughter would fall into a deep sleep as long as he told her the beginning of the story. Even if there was thunder outside, she would not be disturbed at all. But today, she was particularly uncooperative.
This left Xiao Jingsheng with no time to set up a tent with his wife on a cool night so they could look up at the stars.
[Time is money. If you waste your time like this, this girl will be doomed. Since this naughty girl doesn't know how to act, why don't you teach her a bloody lesson?]
Hey, that’s too much!
We don't like that.
How can an adult be violent towards a child?
Xiao Jingsheng found it hard to agree.
Seeing Xiao Jingsheng's unhappy face, Xia Zhixuan panicked, so she patted her daughter's head and said softly, "Caiwei, wait for your mother here for a while. I have something to say to your father."
"Okay." Little Caiwei nodded obediently. She also felt that she had behaved very badly today.
So Xia Zhixuan lowered her head and pulled Xiao Jingsheng's sleeve, then walked out of the room first.
Xiao Jingsheng shook his head and walked out immediately.
"Caiwei must have been frightened today, please don't bother with her!"
Xia Zhixuan looked uneasy.
Xiao Jingsheng also knew that today was not the right time, and shook his head and said, "Ah, Madam, you are wrong. How could I bother with a child? Today, I have really embarrassed you and your daughter."
Hearing this, Xia Zhixuan couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. She then stepped forward and pressed her slender hands on the other's firm chest. She blushed and whispered, "If it's inconvenient today, I will definitely obey you next time. If it's really... if it's really inconvenient, I'll come later..."
At this point, Xia Zhixuan's chin was completely buried in her chest, she was so embarrassed that she felt ashamed.
Xiao Jingsheng was also shocked when he saw this.
But his reason told him that if he was really so impatient, he would really be in trouble.
If it backfires and your favorability drops, it will not be worth it.
Since the timing was not right, he simply rebuilt the high tower of morality and said righteously: "Madam, you are worrying too much. I will never take advantage of the Dan King's misfortune like those flies and dogs. No matter what, I will protect you and your daughter."
[Hint: Xia Zhixuan's favorability +5, current accumulated favorability 58! ]
The bet was right.
Xiao Jingsheng felt very happy.
After taking Xiao Jingsheng's reassurance, Xia Zhixuan's heart finally settled down. She clenched her jade hands on the other's chest, and then, as if she had mustered up her courage, she stood on tiptoe and pressed her rosy lips against the latter's cheek.
When the damp coolness came from his face, Xiao Jingsheng reacted and saw that the other party had already fled like a frightened rabbit...
