Chapter 224 Stay (Fourth Watch)

Chapter 224: 224 Stay (Fourth Watch)

She abandoned the real True Destiny Maiden!

She, a person with the Bloodline of Fire Bathing!

The Konghou was stolen, Lady Mo had given up on her, Mo Zhixuan didn’t want her anymore, she was thoroughly defeated by a commoner!

A commoner she had never looked at properly before!

A lowly commoner not even fit to carry her shoes!

And in front of so many people at that!

Such a wretched defeat! A tremendous disgrace! She lost all her dignity!

With a subconscious glance, Zheng Chuyi swept her gaze across the crowd, and when her eyes met Gan Mingxie’s playful hawk-like gaze, her pupils shrank violently.

She even thought she was hallucinating.

Gan Mingxie, as someone who had once liked her, how could he look at her with such a gaze?

The moment Zheng Chuyi saw that look in Gan Mingxie’s eyes, she knew, today she was truly finished.

Her dignity had been severely trampled on the ground by a commoner!

Upon realizing this,

’Puh--’ Zheng Chuyi vomited a mouthful of blood from the core of her heart, her vision darkened, and she fainted to the ground.

"Sister Chuyi!" On seeing this, Jia Zhuo endured her own pain, quickly lifted Zheng Chuyi, and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, "Sister Chuyi, are you alright? Don’t scare me..."

Jia Zhuo’s voice also carried a cry, her tone filled with sadness and urgency.

Unfortunately, Zheng Chuyi was like she couldn’t hear her calls at all, her eyes tightly closed, her face terrifyingly pale, and she was extremely weak

It was hard to see any signs of life in her.

Even those with the coldest hearts, upon seeing such a scene, would feel a twinge of compassion.

"What exactly do you all want!" Ignoring the pain in her body, Jia Zhuo held Zheng Chuyi tightly, her tear-choked voice of questioning resonated throughout the entire banquet hall, "You’ve all driven Sister Chuyi to this state! Isn’t this enough? Do you really want Sister Chuyi dead? Murder should have a limit, what exactly do you want..."

The voice of Jia Zhuo was sad and chilling, heartbreakingly poignant, moving all who saw and saddening all who heard.

Jia Zhuo’s mind was filled with the scene of the snow-covered Everpeace street from those years.

The scene where the little girl, delicate as a doll in a red dress, reached out her hand to her with a smile.

That smile, like a warm fire in the cold winter, lit up her entire life from then on.

Without Zheng Chuyi from back then, there would be no her today.

Back then, she was a high and mighty young miss of the Zheng family from the Superpower World.

Back then, she was just a little beggar on Everpeace street who was about to freeze to death.

It was Zheng Chuyi who gave her the chance for a new life, so in times like this, she could not just abandon Zheng Chuyi.

You must have a conscience and know how to be grateful and reciprocate kindness.

Seeing this, Chu Jin let out a soft sigh and slowly approached Jia Zhuo, "Take her down to heal, let’s forget about the contract, and try to keep a low profile in the future."

She too had died once and naturally understood the preciousness of life; at this moment, seeing such a scene, she couldn’t help but feel pity.

Besides, she was never a person with a heart of stone.

On hearing this, Jia Zhuo gave Chu Jin a cold glance, "Move aside! Sister Chuyi and I don’t appreciate your feigned kindness!"

With those words, she lifted Zheng Chuyi and quickly left the banquet hall.

"Jin brother," Mo Qingyi approached Chu Jin and affectionately took hold of her wrist, somewhat unwillingly said, "You’re just going to let her go like that?"

"What else?" Chu Jin raised an eyebrow slightly, "Do you really want her to become my slave? Wake up, silly girl, we no longer live in a slave society, human trafficking is illegal," while speaking, Chu Jin even reached out a fair finger to tap on Mo Qingyi’s forehead.

At Chu Jin’s words, Gan Mingxie couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle.

He knew that with regard to that Blood Covenant, Zheng Chuyi was serious; if the one who had lost today were Chu Jin, then Zheng Chuyi certainly would not have let her off so easily.

Silly girl? The ’silly girl’ she was referring to in her mouth should be herself.

All of a sudden, Gan Mingxie’s ears twitched slightly, and then he stood up, courteously addressing the elder Mrs. Mo, "Elder Madam, thank you for your generous hospitality today. It’s getting late, so I should be going back."

The elder Mrs. Mo chuckled, "Mr. Gan, you’re being too formal. You and Zhixuan have been friends for many years; treat this like your own home."

Gan Mingxie bowed towards the elder Mrs. Mo, "Elder Madam is too courteous, I will take my leave now."

"Take care," the elder Mrs. Mo nodded slightly.

"Zhixuan, little sister-in-law, I’ll be taking my leave first." Turning around, Gan Mingxie said goodbye to Mo Zhixuan and Chu Jin.

Mo Zhixuan, with his hand lightly on Chu Jin’s shoulder, gave a slight nod to Gan Mingxie, "Be careful on the way back."

As Gan Mingxie left, other guests also began to say their farewells in succession.

In the blink of an eye, only Chu Jin and Tong Zhi remained in the vast banquet hall.

"Aunt, Aunty Tong, I should be going back too; I have school tomorrow." Chu Jin glanced up slightly at the elder Mrs. Mo and Tong Zhi.

The elder Mrs. Mo first looked at Mo Zhixuan, then slowly started speaking, "Ah Jin, I heard you and Qingyi are at the same school. Why don’t you stay over tonight and go to school with Qingyi in the morning?"

At her words, Mo Qingyi became excited and quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes, Mom, you’re absolutely right. It’s perfect for me and Jin, and my sister-in-law to go to school together tomorrow."

"Then it’s settled. I had someone prepare your room; just stay with peace of mind." The elder Mrs. Mo’s words were casual, but they seemed well-prepared in advance.

Hearing this, Mo Qingyi pouted slightly dissatisfied, "Mom, there’s no need to go through the trouble of preparing a room. Why doesn’t Brother Jin just sleep with me?"

"You little girl!" Aunt Tong immediately stretched out her hand to poke Mo Qingyi’s head, "Have you forgotten your Aunt Tong so quickly? Didn’t we agree to sleep together tonight? How long has it been since we last saw each other?"

Mo Qingyi touched her head somewhat confused, "...When did I make such an agreement with you?"

These people, one saying this, the other saying that, didn’t give Chu Jin a chance to refuse.

"This doesn’t seem right," Chu Jin lowered his voice to consult with Mo Zhixuan, "Or maybe you can take me back, wouldn’t that be too abrupt?"

Mo Zhixuan lowered his gaze, speaking in a low voice, "My mother is old and likes the house to be lively, with a bit of vitality. See, even Aunt Tong is staying, isn’t she? There’s nothing wrong; I will get up early to take you and Qingyi to school tomorrow. It’s just for one night, and nobody home is going to eat you up; what’s there to be afraid of?"

Being said so by him, Chu Jin found even fewer excuses to refuse, lifting his hand to touch his nose, "Well...okay then."

At these words, the corners of Mo Zhixuan’s mouth turned up almost imperceptibly.

On the other side, in Zheng Chuyi’s room.

At this moment, Zheng Chuyi was lying pale on the memory foam bed, eyes tightly closed.

Next to her, Jia Zhuo was pacing anxiously in front of the bed, muttering under his breath, "What to do, what to do, Chuyi, you mustn’t have any trouble!"

Suddenly, as if struck by an idea, a glint flashed through Jia Zhuo’s beautiful eyes. She stopped pacing and took out a small blue-and-white porcelain vial from her pocket, then poured out two elixirs and fed them into Zheng Chuyi’s mouth.

Shortly after the elixir entered her mouth, Zheng Chuyi’s complexion began to slowly become rosy, and her originally pale lips regained their natural color.

Moments later, she slowly opened her eyes, but still looked frail.

"Chuyi! You’ve woken up! You’ve finally woken up; you really scared me back there," Jia Zhuo said excitedly, gripping Zheng Chuyi’s hand.

"I..." Zheng Chuyi looked around, "Where am I?"

Her weak voice was slightly hoarse.

"Chuyi, this is your room. You’re fine now, just focus on recuperating and don’t think too much."

Zheng Chuyi furrowed her brow slightly, recalling the events before she fainted, "And the Blood Covenant? Did I sign it?"

If she had become the slave of a lowly commoner, then she would rather die!

Jia Zhuo hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, the contract has been nullified; you can rest assured."

"That’s good," Zheng Chuyi looked around instinctively, asking nervously, "And my ancient Konghou? Where is my Konghou?"

"The Konghou was taken by that commoner, but don’t worry, one day, I will help you take revenge..." Regret appeared on Jia Zhuo’s face, "I’m sorry, Chuyi, I couldn’t protect the Konghou."

Zheng Chuyi closed her eyes bitterly, clutching the blanket beneath her tightly. Due to her forceful grip, her veins bulged, and her knuckles turned white.
