Chapter 41 Did that evil spirit forgive me?
Manluo received the Heart-burning Pill from the Discipline Room and sat alone on a stone bench in the courtyard, cursing Xiao Nanyan in a low voice:
"You heartless, cold-faced devil! I, Manluo, have no merits but have worked hard, and you're just giving this to me as a gift! You heartless, ungrateful bastard! Any woman who marries you in the future will be in big trouble!"
Although she cursed, Xiao Nanyan's inner suppression of her made her dare not disobey. She looked down at the small pill and brought it to her mouth, but she didn't have the courage to swallow it.
"Damn it! I don't know which bastard came up with this Heart-Scorching Pill. He really should be castrated!"
Complaining is useless. No matter how much she curses, she knows Xiao Nanyue's methods. He has killed countless men with his own hands. She is still so young and doesn't want to die!
But when I think of the searing pain, I feel terrified.
Xiyan's personality is so cold and tough, but last time she couldn't bear the heart-searing pain and almost committed suicide?
Manluo thought of this and snorted coldly:
"I didn't expect Xiao Nanyan to still have a soft heart! It seems that Xiyan's charm is enough to make this evil spirit fall in love with her! This bastard is so cruel and ruthless, it's a waste of his good looks! Pah!"
No matter how much you are scolded, you still have to take the Heart-Scorching Pill.
Just as she was about to take the pill, a familiar figure hurried over:
"Manluo, wait a minute!"
When she looked up, Xiyan ran up to her breathlessly and put her hand on her wrist.
When Manluo saw that it was her, she sighed:
"Why are you here? Are you here to see if I'm dead or not?"
“Don’t eat it!”
Xiyan slapped the Burning Heart Pill out of her hand and crushed it to pieces with her foot.
Manluo was startled, and the color drained from her face.
"Oh, what are you doing? I know you care about me and don't want me to suffer this heartburn, but the prince will definitely blame you. Then, maybe you will have to accompany me. Why bother?"
Xiyan had a serious look on her face originally, but seeing that Manluo was rarely serious, she couldn't help but chuckle. Her eyes were curved, dimples were faintly visible on her cheeks, and she was dressed in a white dress as white as snow. Under the moonlight, she was so beautiful that she seemed like a dream.
Manluo was stunned. She had grown up with Xiyan and rarely saw her smile. She couldn't help but reach out and touch Xiyan's face:
"It turns out that the ice beauty's smile is so captivating. If I were Xiao Nanyan, I would have her in my bed every night!"
Xi Yan's smile froze on her face and she spat:
"You've been so sharp-tongued since you were little!"
Manluo chuckled, then looked sad:
"Hey, you, aren't you harming me? I finally prepared myself mentally, but now it's all over!"
Having said that, he turned around and left without paying any more attention to Xiyan.
Xiyan stepped forward and grabbed her arm:
"Where are you going?"
Manluo rolled her eyes. "Of course I'll go to the Discipline Room and get another Heart-Scorching Pill. Your lover is like a ghost chasing after my life. If I don't suffer this, he'll definitely skin me alive!"
Xiyan's face flushed when she heard her calling him "lover" and she said unhappily:
"Okay, you don't have to eat it. The prince has forgiven you!"
Manluo stopped in her tracks, eyes wide open, in disbelief:
"What? That evil spirit pardoned my sin?"
She suddenly grabbed Xi Yan's hands, her voice trembling slightly with excitement:
"Xiyan, is this true? You didn't lie to me?"
Xiyan nodded slightly.
Manluo quickly reacted:
"It must be because you begged the prince so earnestly that he agreed to show some mercy. Otherwise, given his usual temper, how could he possibly reverse his decision?"
"It's nothing. The prince is still reasonable. He knows that you are thinking about him!"
Manluo took a step forward, holding Xiyan's hand tightly, her eyes reddened:
"Don't I know that evil spirit? You must have suffered a lot! Xiyan, you took such a big risk for me. I, Manluo, will never forget this kindness!"
Xiyan pulled her to sit beside the stone table and patted her shoulder gently:
"After all, you were just trying to vent your anger on Chu Jin, and that's why you angered the prince. How could I just watch you get punished?"
Manluo burst into laughter:
"We have very different personalities. You're cold as ice, I'm passionate as fire, yet we surprisingly get along so well. Over the years, we've practiced together, gone on missions together, and battled through the dead together. We've become as close as sisters. Since we're sisters, let's not say such awkward things from now on!"
Xiyan was also moved.
She and Manluo were both poor children without parents, and were taken in by Xiao Nanyue and raised to be his assassins.
In this world, she has no relatives, and the Regent's Palace is her "home". Han Xiao, Ye Ren, and Man Luo are like her brothers and sisters, taking care of her in every possible way. It's just that she once closed her heart too tightly and ignored that warmth.
Everyone says that assassins have sharp blades, cold faces and chilling hearts, and they only know how to kill and have very little affection.
However, Xiyan felt that this was not entirely true. Although they only followed orders, they were also flesh and blood and not heartless. Sometimes, they would die for their own pride without regrets!
"Okay, we sisters will support each other in the future, and we will definitely be able to live safely in this palace!"
The two smiled at each other, and under the moonlight, their hands were tightly clasped together, finding a trace of warmth and comfort in this cold palace.
