Xiaowu retreated a step while prison guards swarmed up from behind him, and heated combat took place.
The men in black were more highly skilled than most of the prison guards. Some prison guards survived while others perished. As many casualties lay sprawling on the ground, the men dressed in black seemed to be on the verge of breaking through their encirclement.
SWISH SWISH!
A few pebbles came shooting in from outside the temple.
The pebbles hit the men in black just as they were about to escape the temple.
“OOOH!”
“AHHH!”
Then the men in black fell from mid-air and came crashing down. In the blink of an eye, knives were placed by their necks as the prison guards shouted, “Don’t move!”
The prison guards rushed over and instantly subdued the men in black.
After they apprehended the men in black, some of the prison guards looked out of the temple quizzically,
“Sir He, how much longer are you going to keep acting? This man has already confessed,” said Xiaowu as he threw the man in black in front of He Yuanbai, “Why don’t you greet your master?”“I’m sorry, Sir!” said the man in black as he knelt before He Yuanbai with a thud. “Get away from me!” said He Yuanbai as he took a large step back. Then he turned to say coldly to the man in black, “Who instigated you to frame me?”“I’m sorry for failing you! I didn’t finish the mission you tasked me with! Prince Jing has already obtained evidence that you hired an assassin to kill Deputy Minister Gu’s daughter! We’re done for!” The man in black kowtowed He Yuanbai. Then he suddenly stood up to hurl his head towards a wall nearby as he said, “I can only atone myself with death!”“You can’t die just yet!” said Xiaowu as he swiftly grabbed the man by his shirt collar, “You are an important witness.”Then Xiaowu shoved th
A jailor suddenly came over and reported to the justice department supervisor as He Deyong attempted to force Chu Yunshen’s hand, “Sir, He Yuanbai is dead!”Chu Yunshen stopped stroking the cat. He turned to stare sternly at the jailor.Xiaowu was completely shocked. He ran up to the jailor and pulled him by the collar, and asked, “Didn’t I tell you to watch him carefully? What were you bloody doing?”“Bai’er! My Bai’er is dead!”He Deyong trembled. Those people had forsaken his son. He Deyong’s mind went blank from the shocking news. He staggered and leaned against the table beside him as he pointed at the jailor with his fingers quavering and said, “Lead…lead the way!” Everyone hurried over to the justice department prison. “Bai’er!” said He Deyong as people helped him into the prison. The moment He Yuanbai entered He Yuanbai’s cell, he spotted his son lying stiffly on the g
“Meow!”Behave, baby bird!If it kept hopping around, it was going to get hurt!Cheng Xiaoxiao raised her head to pat the baby bird’s head with her paw. “Chirp chirp!”In an instant, the baby bird obediently held onto the fur on Cheng Xiaoxiao’s head. “Lan, stay where you are. I’ll go that way, so we can surround the cat.”“Sure,” replied Lan. She didn’t have time to cry and quickly blocked Cheng Xiaoxiao’s path and continued, “Behave. His Highness will get anxious if he can’t find you later. We won’t hurt you. We just want to take you back to His Highness.”“Lan, why are you talking to the cat? It’s not like it can understand humans! Watch out, I’m going to grab the cat now.”The maid slowly approached Cheng Xiaoxiao from behind with her arms outstretched. Lan reached her arms out and half-squatted in front of Cheng Xiaoxiao to cut off her path.
“Wow. I knew you were different when Lan’s mother brought you over yesterday.”A swarthy ghost who looked like a manservant reached his head out from the well. He looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao standing on top of the well with his eyes bleeding and said, “I can’t believe you can see and talk to us!”Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at the servant whose head had gotten split opened and asked, “How did you end up looking so creepy?”“Sigh… I was plain unlucky! I was working when a tile suddenly flew from the roof and killed me.”“Huh?” said Cheng Xiaoxiao in shock. She thought it was impressive enough that she died choking on food, but she just met someone who literally died while he was walking. “I was muddle-headed when I was on patrol at night and fell into a lake and drowned,” said an unusually fat and bloated ghost as he floated out of the well. “I died of tuberculosis,” said a ghost with bloody blisters on his lungs
Cheng Xiaoxiao stared hard at the traditional wedding dress. She wished she was in human form now, so she could try it. Then it would have made her trip to ancient times worthwhile. Cheng Xiaoxiao suddenly felt the jade pendant on her neck burn up badly. She lowered her head to see bright light bursting from it. She could feel something pulling at her body hard and making her extremely hot. Then her mind passed out for a few seconds.When she finally regained consciousness, she was speechless from the shock. Erm…erm…Cheng Xiaoxiao could see herself standing in the room naked in human form. Did she become a human being?How did she turn into a human?Cheng Xiaoxiao instantly pulled the wedding dress from its box and put it on out of embarrassment. After she got dressed, she lowered her head and raised her hands and touched her right hand with her left. It was a
“Hey, guys.”Bai Wuchang had just come back from making coffee and had yet to take a seat. Instead, he leaned against his table and took a sip before turning back to tell Hei Wuchang that the coffee beans that the Netherworld got this time wasn’t too good. Then Cheng Xiaoxiao’s voice came from behind. Bai Wuchang was caught by surprise. He looked at Hei Wuchang before turning back slowly. Then he looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao and gently coughed before he said, “Miss Xiaoxiao, sorry,” then he straightened his body and walked over to Cheng Xiaoxiao and continued unhurriedly, “We don’t have any reincarnation quota yet.”“It’s not about that,” said Cheng Xiaoxiao as she raised the jade pendant in her hand, “Bai Wuchang, I have a question for you.”“What question?” asked Bai Wuchang as he looked at the jade pendant in Cheng Xiaoxiao’s hand.“This jade pendant turned me into a human yesterday,” said Cheng Xiaoxiao as she looked
“I knew it. I knew that if I wanted to see you, I’d have to charge right into the residence like that little lass, Qianqian,” said Chu Hongyi as he shook his head sadly. Ever since his fourth older brother returned to the capital, he kept writing saying he wanted to visit, but Chu Yunshen kept finding excuses and said he was too busy to receive guests. Yet that lass Chu Mengqian managed to barge right into the residence without Prince Jing’s invitation. But he heard that the next time Chu Mengqian left Prince Jing’s residence, she was in tears and seemed to have gotten a scolding because of a cat. At the thought, Chu Hongyi hung his head and looked at the cat struggling to escape him, and stroked her back gently. Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn’t bear Chu Yunshen’s staring and felt as though the atmosphere was growing increasingly intense, so she kept attempting to flee from Chu Hongyi’s arms.Despite Chu Hongy
Chu Yunshen opened the door to see the little fellow sitting in bed playing with the strap. The maids came to tell Xiaowu that the lion cat was up, but they didn’t manage to finish dressing her. Chu Yunshen happened to overhear it, so he wanted to come and see how the little fellow looked in those garments. “Does it look good?”Cheng Xiaoxiao wanted to use her paws to tie the strap. Then a shadow fell over her, and a familiar cold voice suddenly came. Cheng Xiaoxiao hastily looked up to see Chun Yunshen suddenly appear. “Meow.”Why did he make her wear this?It was so uncomfortable. Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Chu Yunshen sadly. Chu Yunshen raised his hand and fastened the strap by her arm. His lips curved up slightly as he said, “This fits better than the wedding dress.”“Meow.”Cheng Xiaoxiao instantly realized. She acciden
