She was unaware of the Phoenix's existence, but the Phoenix was aware of Zhang Xiaotao's existence.
Phoenix turned around and looked at the girl standing there with a face full of anger—she was clearly beautiful, but also very angry.
Phoenix glanced at Zhang Xiaotao once, and suddenly felt an indescribable weariness. She felt confused, and she knew very well that what was about to happen was a clichéd and annoying argument, or even a "war between women."
Phoenix didn't like this happening. She didn't want to argue with Zhang Xiaotao. To put it simply, she was somewhat disdainful of doing so.
Who is she? She is a phoenix! A proud, beautiful, noble, and omnipotent phoenix! How could this angry and beautiful daughter possibly be a match for her? To stage a ridiculous "battle for a husband" like an ordinary woman?
What is this? Are the first and second wives fighting over favor? Even if they were to fight, there are no more than a handful of people in this world worth Phoenix's attention!
So Phoenix laughed it off and then chose other, more direct and effective methods to avoid this ridiculous scene from unfolding.
Bang!
Just as Zhang Xiaotao's efforts were about to burst forth, a white light flashed before her eyes and struck her directly on the head. Enraged, Zhang Xiaotao simply closed her eyes and lay flat on her back.
Phoenix lowered her raised finger and let out a long sigh of relief... This is better.
Then she glanced at Chen Xiao, and seeing his stunned expression, she suddenly felt a little guilty and subconsciously explained, "She'll probably sleep for forty-eight hours. When she wakes up, there won't be any other aftereffects, at most she'll have a headache, but it'll get better gradually... uh..."
At this point in her explanation, she suddenly realized how foolish she had been!
Damn it! What do I have to explain?! What am I supposed to be guilty of?! This guy was cheating on me with this vixen behind my back!! I should be the one who's here to catch them in the act!!
Seeing the shifting expressions on Phoenix's face, Chen Xiao was certain.
This girl... is absolutely, positively, and unequivocally his "girlfriend"!
And it's obvious that I was a damn playboy before I lost my memory! Just how many "girlfriends" did I have??
"Hey, you..."
Chen Xiao spoke, but at that moment Phoenix suddenly released Chen Xiao, quickly jumped up, and dodged to the side. She stared deeply at Chen Xiao, gritted her teeth, and said hatefully, "I really shouldn't have come! Seeing you only makes me angrier! I...you, you'd better watch yourself! You brat, don't think this is over! We'll settle this score slowly!"
After saying that, the phoenix suddenly flashed and disappeared right before Chen Xiao's eyes with a "BIU"!
Instant teleportation?
This was the first word that popped into Chen Xiao's mind! Then he realized: This inexplicable girl is gone??
Chen Xiao rolled over and stood up, touching his lips. He looked around the courtyard... it was now a ruin. The big trees were down, the walls were smashed, and two girls were lying unconscious on the ground...
Just then, footsteps sounded again outside the door.
Amidst the hurried footsteps, a figure darted in from outside the door like a swallow skimming across the water.
Long, jet-black hair, the Xiao family's black training uniform, cloth shoes, a delicate and stunning face, and a captivating gaze in her eyes...
Huh? This girl is back?!
Xiao Qing ran in a hurry. She had only been home for less than twenty minutes when the old man went to town and did not run into her. Xiao Qing did not take the initiative to see the old man either.
From Xiao Que'er's phone call, Xiao Qing learned that the old master had ordered that she not to be told about Chen Xiao's affairs in the Xiao family—Xiao Qing couldn't fully understand why the old master did this, but she was still a little uneasy.
After rushing back, she advised Lao Tian and the others to wait in town while she quietly went home to investigate—although with Lao Tian's abilities, they could easily come and go from the Xiao family's residence unnoticed. But…it was their own home! Not Japan, where they could do whatever they wanted…
He hurriedly sneaked back to his residence, changed into a set of Xiao family training clothes to avoid looking too conspicuous, and then slipped inside to look for Chen Xiao.
From afar, Xiao Qing heard what sounded like voices coming from the courtyard. She quickened her pace and ran to the courtyard gate. In her anxiety, she couldn't help but use her "Swallow Skimming the Water" light-footed skill.
When Xiao Qing arrived at the door and saw Chen Xiao for the first time, she was finally relieved!
It's Chen Xiao, no doubt! It's him! It's that wretched kid who keeps me thinking about him day and night, making me toss and turn all night!
He's that bastard who caused chaos all over the world and then disappeared without a trace!
He regained his original appearance, still looking so fair-skinned, and even staring at me with a slightly silly look in his eyes.
Xiao Qing ran over quickly, her figure lightly gliding across the courtyard, landing in front of Chen Xiao. She still had a bit of restraint in her heart, otherwise she really would have almost thrown herself into Chen Xiao's arms.
However, it's understandable that such a small amount of rationality is quite pitiful; otherwise, our clever heroine Xiao Qing wouldn't have failed to see the other two girls lying on the ground in the ruins of the courtyard in her agitation.
"You..." As soon as Xiao Qing opened her mouth, she immediately realized that her voice was trembling violently with excitement. Her personality, which she had developed over the years, made her subconsciously shut her mouth.
But this hesitant look only made the emotions in her eyes more apparent.
Chen Xiao looked at the girl in front of him and sighed inwardly—was there something wrong with his girlfriend? She disappeared one minute and then ran back in through the front door the next… Hmm, she really bit him hard just now.
"This..." Chen Xiao looked somewhat helpless: "Why did you come back?"
Chen Xiao's question meant, "Why did you return?", but Xiao Qing interpreted it as, "Why did you come back to the Xiao family?"
"I..." Xiao Qing was about to answer instinctively, but after uttering only one word, her heart suddenly skipped a beat! Chen Xiao spoke to her calmly and naturally, his eyes clear. Moreover, his tone was casual, as if he knew her well, and he immediately asked her why she had returned to the Xiao family's old residence...
He! He recognizes me?
He regained his memory?!
Chen Xiao really regained his memories?!
Xiao Qing stared wide-eyed at Chen Xiao: "You, now you recognize me?!"
Chen Xiao took a deep breath, then exhaled, looking at the beautiful girl in front of him. He shrugged and spread his hands: "Okay, like I said before... you are my girlfriend, my lover, my partner, my future wife. My future children will call you Mom, my future grandchildren will call you Grandma, and one day when you die, you will be buried with me..."
Xiao Qing: "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...※※＃※"
Well, Chen Xiao could say something like that to Phoenix, or to Zhang Xiaotao.
