Peerless Heiress - Chapter 22
If I remember correctly, someone seemed to have approached me like an assassin from the moment they appeared.
"Well, well," the master said awkwardly, touching his nose, "it'll be more fun to scare Xiao Yan'er. Besides, I did take their money, so it wouldn't be right not to put on a show."
—Is it really acceptable to just put on a show? "Having fun" is probably your true feeling, isn't it?
I glanced at my master and asked, "Have you thought of a way to bring my body back with me?"
Master seemed to only then remember that there was such a thing. He paused, blinked, and looked at me innocently: "I forgot."
I almost couldn't catch my breath and slid right off the table and collapsed.
Utterly defeated.
Good heavens, how could I have such a master?!
"Master," I said weakly, "then what can you do to help me? Are you just here to join in the fun?"
Seriously suspicious﹏
"How could you say such a thing about your master, Xiao Yan'er? It's so heartbreaking!" The master said indignantly, "If I don't care about Xiao Yan'er, who else in this world cares about her? Xiao Yan'er is the only person I care about and cherish. Of course I'm here to help, don't worry."
stop!
First, there are plenty of people in this world who care about me. For one thing, my mom and older sister are definitely more experienced than you. Second, Master, you care about and are concerned about too many people, even if it's only for a short time. But when you care and are concerned, you completely forget you have a disciple. Based on this, I have reason to believe that the reason you haven't grown tired of me for so long isn't because I'm the only one you "care about," but because I'm interesting and keep you interested in teasing me. Third, "Of course I'm here to help"? —Is that so?
My master looked at me and gave me a sharp rap on the head: "You brat, what kind of look is that? Even if I was busy playing by myself, I only forgot for a moment. If I didn't care about you, why would I have come?"
Why do you keep hitting me on the head?!
anger-
I jumped up: "You stinky monster, if you knock on me again I won't call you master anymore! Don't think I don't know, you're only here because you've had your fill of the modern world and want to try something new."
My master was stunned by my scolding, his face showing the obvious embarrassment of having his secret exposed. He stammered, "No...no, don't overthink it."
"Hmph!" I turned my head away.
Chapter 61 Teasing
Master's eyes darted around, then she suddenly laughed, patting my hand reassuringly: "Don't worry, don't worry, Little Yan'er, don't be angry. Master will go look for a solution and see if we can find one. Be careful, okay? If you miss Master, just call out, and Master will come very soon."
"snort!"
I was just about to scoff when I suddenly saw a sly glint in my master's eyes. I froze, alarm bells immediately going off in my head. That look—it was absolutely...
This is not a good thing.
I jumped up and grabbed my master by the neck, threatening, "Master, stop! Whatever you're thinking, stop! You—you dare to tease me, you—"
My master gave me a wicked smile, winked, and then—
His facial expression changed.
He was a handsome man with a gentle appearance and a touch of his master's unique devilish charm, but suddenly, he became a completely different person.
His eyes, clear as ink, suddenly became as deep as an abyss, exuding an air of nobility and pride. His temperament also suddenly changed from sinister to cold and intimidating. His originally soft and beautiful features suddenly became as sharp as if carved by a knife. When those eyes, which made people feel cold from the bottom of their hearts, saw me, a trace of surprise and confusion seemed to pass through them, and then a chilling murderous aura instantly emerged.
This is indeed someone else.
This person is the real—the assassin, Dark Night.
Before I could fully retract my hand in fright, I was already being choked. My breath was instantly stopped, and in my shock and fear, I completely forgot how to react.
Consciousness quickly faded away ﹏﹏
The last glimpse was of a beam of light leaping out from Dark Night, a round, fluffy shadow slamming into Dark Night's head. Dark Night swayed, the force in his hand momentarily faltering before it began to slip.
The pressure on my neck loosened, and air began to seep into my chest. I couldn't hold on any longer, and everything went black before my eyes, and I passed out.
"Little Yan'er, Little Yan'er."
I opened my eyes, and before me was the face of darkness—a slight upturn of the lips, a playful gaze, and a captivating, almost sinister allure.
"Are you... Master?" I asked in a hoarse voice.
He blinked, grinned wickedly, revealing dazzling white teeth: "Yeah."
I shoved that face away violently. Even if it were a different soul master—no, no matter which soul master it was—I still hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it!
Master couldn't help but chuckle, but then he put on a heartbroken expression, clutching his heart like Xi Shi, and looked at me with pleading eyes, his voice pitiful: "Little Yan'er, are you angry with your master?"
ah--
I'm going crazy.
“Master didn’t do it on purpose. This space is under a spacetime restriction, so I can’t transform. Only this body is suitable for possession. Besides, didn’t I tell you? This body has its own will and soul. If its soul and consciousness want to leave, there’s nothing I can do.” Master blinked.
"Master," I suddenly calmed down and said softly, "Just now, when I was almost dead, I saw a shadow jump out from Dark Night, knock Dark Night unconscious, and save me. That shadow, was it you, Master?"
The master suddenly seemed uneasy: "Uh...why are you bringing this up?"
I nodded with a smile: "Of course I have to say it. My master loves me so much and is so good to me. He always jumps out to save me whenever I'm in danger. Of course I have to say it!"
The master, looking like he wanted to laugh but dared not, said, "That's right, Little Yan'er, we..."
"Master, I also saw that shadow had a big, fluffy tail! Master, your true form wouldn't be...?"
