"Please, I have absolutely no interest in that pompous self-proclaid womanizer emperor. Please don’t misunderstand," ngxi emphasized firmly as she pulled Yumo onto the balcony.
Facing Yumo’s beautiful yet perplexed azure eyes, ngxi, who knew her inner thoughts all too well, sensed the tightening grip of her hand and the furrowed brows. She had a good sense of what was going through Yumo’s mind.
And so, the chosen daughter couldn’t help but wear an expression of disbelief.
"Yu…, wait... You couldn’t possibly think... that I brought you out here because I was jealous of Xue Tianao," she thought to herself.
’Damn it, as if I could ever be jealous of that bastard!’
’Yumo, your imagination really knows no bounds!’
’In so respects, you can be quite clever at fabricating your own scenarios...’
’Sigh... Well, if sister Yumo didn’t think that way, she wouldn’t have gotten herself so worked up...’
Letting out a sigh of helplessness and calming her heart, ngxi promptly emphasized to Yumo that she had absolutely no interest in Xue Tianao. Moreover, she didn’t want Yumo to think she had any feelings for him or misconstrue her intentions.
She quickly clarified her position.
Upon hearing ngxi’s declaration, Yumo froze in place, her beautiful azure eyes blinking in utter confusion. It took a mont before she raised her hand to cover her mouth in astonishnt.
"The things you just said..."
"Hmm?"
Seeing the lingering unease and doubt in Yumo’s eyes, ngxi sighed once again, feeling extrely exasperated. She assud a serious and solemn expression, looking directly at the black-haired girl in front of her.
"Alright, let make it clear once more. I have absolutely no interest in that guy Xue, the self-absorbed, pretentious, lecherous playboy. Not only am I uninterested, but I actually despise him!"
"Des... Despise?"
"Yes! Despise! I despise him with all my heart!"
ngxi emphasized sharply. However, after this series of emphatic statents, the unease and doubt in Yumo’s eyes seed to dissipate, as if her words had successfully dispelled them.
The black-haired girl gradually regained her composure and stood in place, lost in thought. As the wave of emphasis settled, ngxi also cald down slightly.
She raised her hand and pressed her temple firmly, feeling a slight sense of confusion creeping within her. The other party had simply misunderstood...
’Why was she so eager to clarify? Was it because she didn’t want to be associated with Xue Tianao in any way? Or perhaps...’
"Sigh..."
In any case, she suppressed the anxious expression on her face, and ngxi regained her usual captivating smile that won the hearts of all who saw it.
"So, stop dwelling on unrealistic notions. I brought you out here not because of any jealousy," ngxi stated, her words emphasized.
Even if it were jealousy, ’it’s not because of that scoundrel Xue Tianao.’
ngxi couldn’t help but add in her mind.
However, it wasn’t solely a matter of jealousy. Safety was also a concern, a more pressing concern...
As ngxi looked into Yumo’s eyes, an amalgamation of complex emotions surfaced unconsciously.
So ti ago, when Yumo entered the venue as the heiress of the Black Rose Duchy, ngxi’s attention hardly wavered from her. She had been contemplating how to approach her in this new identity.
However, just as ngxi was pondering over this matter, sothing grave happened.
Xue Tianao, that womanizer, walked up to Yumo. The intense interest and greed reflected in his lecherous eyes were almost transparent to ngxi.
’That scoundrel, he wants to make a move on sister Yumo!’
The mont ngxi reached this conclusion, she clenched her fists tightly, even entertaining the thought of rushing over to intervene.
’After all, sister Yumo was so pure and kind-hearted, like a cute little bunny. If she encountered Xue Tianao, a pro player in the realm of love, wouldn’t she be devoured completely?!’
Just the thought of sister Yumo, possibly falling into Xue Tianao’s clutches and envisioning her relying on him, made ngxi’s blood pressure soar. In order to prevent her own heart from bursting, ngxi had to find a way to separate Her sister from Xue Tianao...
However, before she could co up with a suitable plan, ngxi was startled to discover a flicker of killing intent in Her sister’s azure eyes. Although it was deeply concealed, ngxi, who had been together with Yumo every day recently, couldn’t miss it...
"?!"
In that mont, ngxi couldn’t remain calm anymore. Although she wasn’t sure why Yumo suddenly displayed such a dangerous expression, the current situation was undoubtedly grim.
If Yumo directed her killing intent towards Xue Tianao or even succeeded in killing him, ngxi wouldn’t mind and might even applaud. But now, sister Yumo couldn’t afford to act in such a way.
This wasn’t the Winter Forest, after all.
Not to ntion that Xue Tianao’s strength was high, and he had nurous tricks up his sleeve. Whether sister Yumo could actually kill him after making a move was uncertain.
Once sister Yumo acted, her disguise would undoubtedly be exposed.
Then, she wouldn’t just face Xue Tianao alone but also confront nurous terrifying cultivators in the imperial city, such as the Guardian General of the Snow Night Empire, the Elder of the Holy Tower, and even sister Bai from my own faction...
sister Yumo was indeed strong, but facing so many powerful people, and in the enemy’s territory, the odds were stacked against her.
ngxi didn’t want anything to happen to her beloved Yumo.
Driven by urgency, in the mont Yumo clenched her fists, ngxi stepped forward, defying the bewildered gazes of the onlookers, and without hesitation, pulled Yumo away. At that ti, ngxi didn’t care about the opinions of the spectators, at most just casting apologetic glances at Bai Yanluo behind her and the Archbishop nearby.
But regardless of what others thought, it seed that her actions had resolved the crisis. As she looked at Yumo, whose eyes no longer held any killing intent or impulsiveness, ngxi couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
And it was at this mont that Yumo’s faint words gradually reached ngxi’s ears.
"Um, Miss ngxi, about your hand?"
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, ngxi lowered her gaze to their intertwined hands. After a brief mont of confusion, ngxi revealed a slightly lancholic smile.
Right, she and Lady Yu were still strangers. Holding the hand of soone she had just t was indeed an impolite behavior.
’Sigh...’
’For real sister...!?’
’are you pretending not to know ? Acting like it’s our first eting?’
Looking at the black-haired girl before her, who had a perplexed expression and a pronounced sense of caution, ngxi couldn’t help but sigh inwardly with helplessness.
’Well, since sister Yumo wants to act that way, I’ll play along~ ’
’After all, it’s my specialty to understand others!’
With this in mind, ngxi put on an expression of sudden realization. Subsequently, a feel of apology erged in her lilac-colored eyes.
"I... I apologize for my rudeness. Please forgive , Yum… Lady Yu."
Saying that ngxi reluctantly released the small hand and clenched her fists, feeling the warmth that lingered in her palms. A slight upward curve ford on ngxi’s lips.
After ngxi let go of her hand, Yumo looked at the silver-haired girl with confusion.
"It’s nothing, Miss ngxi. But what happened to you? Why did you suddenly grab my hand and bring here? Isn’t it impolite to the Snow Night Empire?"
"Oh, that... It’s just so insignificant matter."
ngxi waved her hand dismissively.
"Besides, I brought you out for your own good."
"Huh? For... for my own good?"
"Yes."
After taking a deep breath, ngxi nodded solemnly. Then, the silver-haired girl assud a grave and serious expression, raising her hands and placing them earnestly on Yumo’s exposed shoulder.
"Yes, it’s for your own good. That Emperor is not a good person! For the sake of your safety, please, please, And please stay away from that guy, Xue Tianao!"
Yumo: "Huh?"
