Chapter 496: The feeling of having your fate strangled
Si Linglong turned to the old lady who was lying on the left side of the bed, and said in the same tone as before, "Please forgive me, old lady. I am actually a little curious about the cat you raised."
She paused and corrected herself, "Oh, no, it should be called 朏朏."
When the old lady heard her mention 朏朏, a dark light seemed to flash across her slightly cloudy eyes, which disappeared in an instant.
She did not pretend to be confused, but looked at Si Linglong lovingly and asked her,
"Do you know 朏朏?"
"Yes." Si Linglong said slowly, "Although it looks like a cat, its essence is an ancient beast. Judging from the old lady's expression, she should know this."
She paused and said deliberately, "Although Xixi looks gentle and cute, she is actually... cunning, evil, and very good at deceiving others. She is a very dangerous monster..."
Helian Yue was originally still thinking about how she would test him, but when he heard her next words, he secretly raised his eyebrows.
This was different from what she had told herself in the flower room.
The old lady, who had originally had a kind face, suddenly changed her expression after hearing her words that were clearly "slanderous". She seemed to be unhappy for the first time. She interrupted her before she finished speaking.
"You're talking nonsense. Xiaoxiao's personality is not what you said! It has a gentle temperament and is the kindest among all the alien beasts!"
Si Linglong looked at the old lady who was trying hard to refute, but she remained unmoved.
"You old lady have been deceived by it."
The old lady said solemnly, "I was not deceived, it is just like this!"
Si Linglong pouted, looking as if she didn't believe it.
"How do you know it's not what I said? You are not it."
Upon hearing this, the old lady instinctively wanted to refute, but when the words reached her lips, she choked. After a while, she restrained herself and returned to her original frail old lady's posture, looking like she didn't want to argue with you young man.
Seeing that she didn't respond anymore, Si Linglong didn't get anxious and decided to use her ultimate weapon.
…
Helian Yue saw her suddenly reach into her arms and after a while, she took out a jade-colored purse.
The old lady who had been lying on the bed with her eyes closed and holding her breath, caught a glimpse of the purse in her hand from the corner of her eye, and her eyes seemed to tremble inadvertently.
Si Linglong spoke calmly, "It suddenly appeared in the flower hall earlier, pretending to be a cat and approaching me. At first I thought it wanted to tell me about you, the old lady, but later I found out that it was not. It pretended to attack me, but its target was actually the purse in my arms."
Helian Yue had never expected this to happen. After being pinned to the ground by Si Linglong due to the sudden attack from Xixi, he had not thought about the reason any more. He had never expected that it was because of something hidden on Si Linglong's body.
"What's in here?" Helian Yue asked in a deep voice. If it was something that could attract strange beasts, it would be too dangerous to keep it next to her.
Si Linglong suddenly heard him speak and couldn't help but glance at him. She simply opened her purse in front of the two of them and pulled out a small bunch of long brown and yellow hair from the purse.
Helian Yue: ???
The old lady stared at the tuft of hair in her hand, looking a little nervous.
Si Linglong explained, "This is the hair that Lord Cheng Huang gave me. The hair of exotic beasts has magical powers. In addition to protecting others, it can also be used to summon, for example..."
Si Linglong said this, and suddenly stood up, holding the tuft of hair, and walked to the charcoal stove burning silver charcoal not far from the bed, and added in a very light tone,
"Like this, burn it."
As he said this, he pretended to throw the tuft of hair into the charcoal fire.
Before she could make any move, the "weak" old lady on the bed suddenly jumped off the bed and stopped her with a panicked look on her face, "Don't burn it!"
Si Linglong's hand holding the fox fur remained motionless. She just turned her head to look at the old lady who suddenly moved agilely, and deliberately gave her a sinister smile that belonged to a villain.
That expression seemed to say - got you.
There seemed to be a flash of guilt on the face of the "old lady". After a while, she turned around silently, trying to pretend that nothing had happened and went back to the bed. The next second, a hand suddenly attacked her from behind, and pinched the flesh behind her neck directly.
“Old Lady”: …
That familiar feeling of having fate strangled by the scruff of the neck.
