Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Jump into the Lotus Pond

"Xia Shiyi, did you get something wrong? Do you think I have the power to set up a meeting with that young master?"

Xia Shiyi sneered coldly, "Although you don’t hold much weight in Ou Jue’s heart, surely you can at least pass on a message to him and arrange a meeting, right? I’ve reserved a table at Moli Restaurant for tonight at seven. All you need to do is ensure Ou Jue arrives on time."

Xiyan’s beautiful lips pressed together into a perfect straight line, her small hands clenched tightly in frustration.

Xia Shiyi straightened her posture, looking down arrogantly at Xiyan, "Xia Xiyan, whether Ou Xiaoluo returns safely or not depends entirely on you. If even one other person finds out about this... heh..."

She let out a soft chuckle filled with blatant menace.

Xiyan’s chest heaved violently with anger, "He’s just a six-year-old child! Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?!"

"Xia Xiyan!" She suddenly hardened her expression and jabbed Xiyan’s shoulder repeatedly with her crimson fingernails, her tone insolent and combative. "Let me warn you again—watch your attitude! If you anger me, you better worry about Ou Xiaoluo’s safety! I wouldn’t mind going down with you in a fight to the death!"

Xiyan took a deep breath. "Fine, I’ll agree to your terms. I’ll help you arrange a meeting with Ou Jue. When do you plan to let Luoluo go?"

Seeing Xiyan’s appearance of forced compliance, Xia Shiyi felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.

She haughtily brushed her hair, "When I release him depends entirely on my mood."

"You—"

"Right now, I’m the one controlling this game. All you can do is obey. Got it?"

With that, she took off the bracelet in her hand and flung it aside.

With a splash, the bracelet landed in the Lotus Pond.

"Oh dear, my bracelet! That’s the one my dad gave me for my birthday last year," Xia Shiyi exclaimed in mock alarm, blinking innocently at Xiyan. "Well then, I’ll have to trouble you to jump in and fetch it for me."

Ahhh, she was absolutely doing this on purpose!!

Xiyan’s eyes burned with fury, her teeth grinding in rage.

Infuriating!

"Why are you still standing there? Go get it," Xia Shiyi raised her eyebrows in disdain.

I... I’ll endure it.

Once I’m sure Luoluo is safe, you’d better watch out.

Swallowing her anger, Xiyan jumped into the Lotus Pond.

Thankfully, the water wasn’t deep, reaching only to her thighs.

Though the season had warmed, soaking in the icy cold water still felt unbearable.

Xiyan shivered and began searching arduously.

Xia Shiyi stood comfortably on the shore, thoroughly pleased with Xiyan’s submission.

"You must keep searching—don’t stop until you find it!"

Seconds turned into minutes.

When she had had enough of watching Xiyan struggle pathetically, Xia Shiyi yawned smugly and turned to leave, "Well, I’ve been standing so long I’m tired. You keep searching at your own pace, and once you find it, remember to bring it to me."

With those parting words, Xia Shiyi walked away like a queen atop her throne, arrogant and untouchable.

So cold...

Xiyan was already trembling from head to toe, frozen to the core.

She whimpered inwardly, her waist aching unbearably—where was the damn bracelet?

Shifting slightly to search another spot, her foot suddenly slipped.

"Ah—" she cried out in alarm, her entire body crashing into the water.

Glub glub glub...

Water invaded from every direction, pulling her under relentlessly.

She frantically tried to rise but was suddenly struck by sharp pain from her lower leg.

Damn it. Damn it!

Her foot had cramped!

The growing difficulty in breathing...
