Chapter 2134: Posed a Threat That Was Not to Be Underestimated
Xi Tao hastily waved her hands. “Miss, this is too precious. This servant couldn’t possibly take it.”
“Don’t worry. I’m giving it to you, so just take it.” Ning Shu inserted the hairpin into Xi Tao’s bun and said with a smile, “Xi Tao is very beautiful.”
“Thank you, Miss.” Xi Tao bowed to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu hummed in response.
Xi Tao went back to work. Ning Shu propped her chin on her arm. Xi Tao was fourteen years old, the age when girls yearned for romance. Ning Shu just wasn’t sure if Xi Tao had anyone she liked.
There were three handsome and flamboyant men in the family. Each one of them could make the maids swoon.
Even the murderous Mo Juechen was admired.
These three posed a threat that was not to be underestimated.
Ning Shu didn’t know if Xi Tao liked one of them. Maybe she liked someone else instead.
Ning Shu let out a long sigh. She didn’t know if she could trust the people around her. Xi Tao had grown up with Fang Lanxin, but Ning Shu didn’t know if she would betray the original host.
Forget it, she’d just focus on cultivation. As long as she was strong, she wouldn’t have to worry about any conspiracies or dangers.
Ning Shu sat cross-legged on the bed. She closed her eyes and began to cultivate the Unsurpassable Martial Arts. Hearing footsteps outside, she stopped.
Ning Shu squeezed her flesh. It felt much tauter than before but still looked the same. The Unsurpassable Martial Arts had strengthened her body, but it couldn’t instantly remove all the excess fat.
She still had to be a plump fatty.
The door opened with a squeak, and Li Jiuge came in. When Li Jiuge saw Ning Shu lying on the bed, he cried out and immediately covered his face with his sleeve.
“I say, girl, why are you still sleeping during the day?” Li Jiuge asked, his face still hidden behind his sleeve.
Ning Shu rolled her eyes. He was the one who rushed straight into her room.
Ning Shu put on her shoes and asked, “Why are you looking for me?”
“No reason, I just came to see you.” Li Jiuge sat down. He poured a cup of tea and started drinking.
Ning Shu also poured herself a cup. “If there’s no reason, why did you come? I didn’t think you’d want to see my face.”
Her face definitely wasn’t pleasing to the eye.
“Fang Lanxin, I never said you were ugly. Some people are beautiful but vicious as snakes. I’ve seen many beautiful women. They can kill people with a charming smile,” Li Jiuge said profoundly.
He was probably thinking of the harem of the palace where he once lived.
Ning Shu asked, “Do you want to go back?”
Li Jiuge glanced at Ning Shu. “What do you know? Going back is the same as courting death. I can’t go back until I get stronger.”
Ning Shu: →_→
Every single one of these people-if it wasn’t that they killed people like flies, then it was that they had a bone-deep grudge. How on earth did her old man gather all of these people?
Her old man…
“So why were you looking for me?” Ning Shu asked again.
“Oh, that’s right, Big Brother Gu said that I have to take you to see the Fang family’s shop tomorrow. You’re Foster Father’s daughter, so you should know these things,” Li Jiuge said to Ning Shu with a smile. “I’ll go with you tomorrow.”
“Just this?” Ning Shu glanced at Li Jiuge. “You needed to come over to tell me about this kind of thing?”
“Actually…” Li Jiuge’s face suddenly turned red, which made Ning Shu feel rather strange. “What’s the matter?”
“I’ve fallen in love with someone,” Li Jiuge said.
“Pfft…” Ning Shu spat a mouthful of tea and saliva in Li Jiuge’s face. She decided not to drink anything when chatting in the future.
“Cough cough… Which family’s girl?” Ning Shu asked.
