Chapter 651: Chapter 651 Xiao Taohong
She stepped out of the carriage on foot, wanting to get so fresh air and think about how she should face her enemies after returning to the Capital.
Outside, the moonlight was clear and bright, and stars twinkled, scattered all around.
Xuexue took a few steps toward the nearby woods, but unexpectedly, after just two steps, a guard blocked her way, “Miss, it’s not safe outside, you should go back to the carriage.”
“I won’t go far, just stand nearby and enjoy the night breeze,” Xuexue stopped walking.
“Miss, please don’t make it difficult for ,” the guard said patiently and didn’t dare to be rough, as he knew the General had traveled thousands of miles to Jingshan Town just to find Xuexue, his own daughter.
“ow ow…!” A cry ca from behind her.
Xuexue turned and saw, “Qi Miao, why aren’t you sleeping?”
“ow ow…!” Little Tiger shook its head.
“You want to go for a walk too?”
“ow ow…!” Little Tiger nodded its head again.
Xuexue turned to the guard and said, “See, even my little Kitty wants to go for a walk. Are you really going to be so cruel as to not let us go?”
“But, the General…” This was the first ti the guard had seen such a spirited little Kitty, but due to his duty, he still hesitated.
“We’ll co right back, if I don’t tell and you don’t tell, how would father know I went for a walk?”
The guard had no choice but to agree due to Xuexue’s insistence, “Miss, please don’t go far. This place is full of Deep Mountains and Ancient Forests, very dangerous with frequent appearances of wolves and leopards. How about I go with you so I can protect you if sothing happens?”
Xuexue replied, “I’m going to relieve myself, why would you follow
there?”
The guard blushed and lowered his head, “I acted too rashly.”
“Hmph!”
Xuexue, with Little Tiger by her side, walked toward the forest while the guard stood there, dumbfounded, watching their silhouettes.
“Little Tiger, let’s sit here for a while,” Xuexue said and sat on a large stone under the moonlight.
“ow ow…!”
Little Tiger, agile and quick, swooshed up onto the stone and lay at Xuexue’s feet.
The cold stone and the cool night breeze cald Xuexue’s heart. She had suffered too much in her past life; in this life, she had to proceed with caution at every step to ensure a long life. In that mont, she deeply understood this truth.
“Master, Master!” Xiao Taohong’s voice sounded from the space.
Xuexue paused a mont. It had been more than a month since Xiao Taohong went into seclusion, and she hadn’t seen her for a long ti.
“How is your cultivation going?”
“I’ve added hundreds of years to my cultivation. Master, Xiao Taohong will be able to protect you now!”
“That’s good. In a few days, we will reach the Capital, which is not like Mo Family Village. Although it may look luxurious beyond asure, it is a dog-eat-dog world. We must be very careful there, proceed with caution at every step. A single misstep could lead to a death with no place to be buried.”
Indeed, Xiao Taohong and Xuexue had a Blood Covenant; if Xuexue died, her ghostly life would end there as well.
Xiao Taohong slowly floated out from the space and stood beside Xuexue, “Don’t worry, Master. Xiao Taohong will always be by your side.”
Xiao Taohong appeared suddenly, startling Little Tiger, which jumped off the stone in fright.
“ow ow…!”
Little Tiger climbed up from the ground and kept owing at Xiao Taohong.
“Qi Miao seems to be able to see you,” Xuexue also found it strange.
“I’ve only been in seclusion for a month. When did Master get a little Kitty? It’s not even cute.” Little Tiger kept owing at her, and Xiao Taohong was a bit upset.
