After getting dressed, Xia Ningning looked at herself in the mirror, her face flushed and unable to fade away for a long ti.
By that ti, Ye Ming had already left, and only the two girls remained in the bathroom.
Xia Ningning lowered her voice and asked Xu Lele, "Le Le, what exactly happened just now?"
With a mischievous grin, Xu Lele explained, "You were severely injured and unconscious, and then Ye Ming put you in the bath."
"What?" Xia Ningning lowered her head and asked further, "Then what about the clothes on ?"
Xu Lele continued to explain, "Because they had to save you, ah. You were stabbed near your heart, and he needed to treat your wound conveniently. Besides, he also bathed you in Spirit Spring Water."
Xia Ningning covered her face, already too embarrassed to show it.
She hadn’t expected to find herself naked in front of Ye Ming again, and this ti it was in front of both Ye Ming and Xu Lele.
Xu Lele went on to say, "Moreover, to save you, Ye Ming even sucked the poison out of your body with his mouth!"
At this point, Xia Ningning looked down at the wound on her shoulder.
The shocking wound was less than one centiter away from her heart, which was indeed a bit intimate in its placent.
She exclaid in alarm, "Sucked with his mouth? That’s... That’s too embarrassing!"
Seeing that Xia Ningning was not angry but rather flushed with shyness, Xu Lele realized sothing and felt relieved.
The two getting along peacefully was the best reward for her.
At that mont, there was a sound from outside the bathroom door.
"How have you treated Miss Xia?" Two protectors glared at Ye Ming, loudly demanding an explanation.
Ye Ming looked at them coldly. If it weren’t for him, Xia Ningning would have been dead by now. Yet, they were still treating him with such disrespect, which angered him deep inside.
Just as he was about to speak, Xia Ningning’s voice ca from the bathroom, "I’m alright now, don’t you dare touch Ye Ming!"
After speaking, Xia Ningning hurriedly wiped off the droplets from her body and slowly walked out.
Seeing Xia Ningning with her hair still wet and wrapped in a bath towel, and recalling that Ye Ming had also been in the bathroom, the two protectors’ gaze towards Ye Ming began to harbor so hostility.
But the conflict between them was quickly isolated by Xia Ningning.
She said, "I’m alright now, all thanks to Ye Ming for saving . Without him, I really wouldn’t know what to do."
The two protectors apologized with sha, "Miss Xia, we are truly sorry, it’s our negligence."
Xia Ningning dismissed their concerns, "It’s not your fault, the incident was sudden, and nobody could have expected it."
"I will go back with you. I will leave as soon as I change my clothes."
This experience left Xia Ningning repressing her frustration, eager to report the incident imdiately.
Reflecting upon the encounter, it was evident that the assassin had targeted her specifically, without laying a finger on Xu Lele. So she had already surmised that soone had hired a hit, and that they were after her life.
Unable to release this frustration, Xia Ningning would struggle to sleep at night.
The protectors breathed a sigh of relief, nodded slowly, and then shifted their gaze onto Ye Ming.
One of the protectors said, "Ye Ming, given that you saved our Miss’s life, we can refrain from taking action against you, but you must follow us back!"
Ye Ming looked at them coldly, and disdainfully said, "If I do not wish to go, no one can force , not even if you’re the Xia Family’s protectors, or even if the Family Head of the Xia Family himself were here, it would not change my choice."
"I will eventually make my way to Chuzhou City, but not now. I have other matters to attend to. Once they’re done, I will naturally co to you."
The two protectors frowned, unable to bring Ye Ming back, they were at a loss for how to explain themselves.
"Ye Ming, don’t force us to take action!"
"Even though you saved Miss Xia, it still doesn’t change the fact that you killed Xia Yu!"
For a mont, the atmosphere turned eerily tense again, as both parties stood on the verge of a clash.
Xia Ningning’s face darkened with anger as she exclaid, "You two are not to take him away! Otherwise, I will die right here and now for you to see!"
Xia Ningning, fully aware of the protectors’ strength, was afraid that Ye Ming would get hurt. She threatened them with her own life to stop the conflict between them.
As she spoke, she picked up the poisoned dagger that had almost claid her life and placed it against her own neck.
The protectors were greatly alard; Xia Ningning had just recovered from a serious illness and was extrely weak. Another incident could be truly troubleso.
They were well aware of Xia Ningning’s temperant; she always ant what she said. If she really injured herself, it would be even harder for them to explain upon their return.
After much consideration, they agreed to Xia Ningning’s demand, took a step back, and did not confront Ye Ming further.
Seeing them relent, Xia Ningning discarded the dagger and said to Xu Lele, "Le Le, I’m going to make a trip ho. Once this matter is resolved, I will co find you!"
After her return to Chuzhou City, she had many things to do and many entanglents to deal with. Unable to free herself for a considerable ti, the thought of being separated for a long ti filled Xia Ningning with reluctance.
She only had one good sister. Without Xu Lele, she would be all alone.
Xu Lele said earnestly, "It’s okay. I will co to find you in Chuzhou City, just like how you ca to find before. Even if I don’t go, Ye Ming will co to see you on my behalf."
Xia Ningning nodded and turned her gaze back to Ye Ming, instructing, "Ye Ming, I entrust Le Le to you. I hope you will cherish her well and not let her get hurt again!"
"If I see her missing even a single hair next ti I et her, I will not forgive you!"
As she spoke, Xia Ningning realized her own change.
She had always been against Ye Ming being together with Xu Lele, and this was the first ti she had been so supportive.
Ye Ming nodded solemnly and said, "With here, no one will be able to harm her."
With that, Ye Ming took out two charms from his pocket and tapped them several tis in the air.
This charm was the Golden Light Spell he had used to protect Lin ngdie before. With the reinforcent of his True Qi, if Xia Ningning were in danger, she could use it for protection, and Ye Ming would be alerted.
After preparing everything, he said earnestly to Xia Ningning, "I was negligent towards you before. You must keep these two charms safe and always carry them with you. In case of danger, they can ensure your safety."
"Moreover, I can sense your predicant and co to rescue you imdiately."
"You have helped quite a lot before. I don’t have much to give you in return, so take these charms as my thanks."
