Transmigrating into the body of a white-haired fairy, she also encounters a late-born woman seeking

Because Chu's mother was so enthusiastic, Lin Xi and her companion stayed until evening, having dinner together before leaving.

Lin Xi returned to the mansion feeling a little dizzy.

Inside the bridal chamber.

Lin Xi still looked exhausted, after dealing with Chu's mother all day.

But when Lin Xi realized that Chu Yang's gaze was fixed on her, she became alert.

"Chu... Chu Yang, although I initially wanted to get revenge on you at Aunt Yang's place, I didn't deliberately target you afterwards. I've always been well-behaved."

Chu Yang ignored her and walked towards her step by step.

"......"

Lin Xi immediately summoned the Ice Phoenix Sword, its tip pointing at Chu Yang.

"Chu Yang, I'm warning you, if you act recklessly, our agreement is off. We'll fight to the death!"

"It seems you still don't understand who is the master and who is the servant between us..."

Chu Yang snapped his fingers lightly, and a violent surge of lightning power from the Soul Cleansing Lock swept across his entire body.

Strands of lightning, like serpentine snakes, entered her meridians, wreaking havoc.

"Aaaaaahh ...

Under the powerful force of the thunder, Lin Xi cried out in agony once again.

The Ice Phoenix Sword fell from his hand, and he collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

"Aaaaaahh ...

"Chu...Yang, I was wrong..., please stop..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the thunder that had engulfed him finally dissipated.

Chu Yang walked up to her, and only after seeing Lin Xi lying on the ground like a lump of mud did he squat down and reach out to pinch her chin.

"Now do you understand who's in charge between us?"

Lin Xi opened her eyes and spoke with difficulty:

"You...you decide..."

"What's wrong? Are you in so much pain that you can't speak?"

"Does it hurt a lot?"

"But can you understand the pain I went through back then?"

"That excruciating pain—like having your skin peeled off, your heart ripped out, your bones broken, leaving you half-dead!"

"Even the pain of losing all hope, the resentment of betrayal, do you understand? You bitch!"

As he spoke, Chu Yang's dark pupils turned red, with blood vessels appearing on them.

"Cough cough..."

"I...I understand, please...don't kill me..."

Tears welled up in Lin Xi's eyes and streamed down her stunningly beautiful yet alluring face.

Seeing the killing intent in Chu Yang's eyes, the instinct for survival now outweighed the shame and humiliation.

The pleading tone made Chu Yang loosen his grip.

"......"

What happened to me just now?

Was I so blinded by hatred that I actually wanted to kill her?

Chu Yang regained consciousness and even felt a lingering fear because of what had just happened.

Could it be because he has been suppressing his feelings for too long?

"......"

Seeing the beautiful woman's tearful face and helpless sobs, Chu Yang felt a sudden pang of tenderness.

He sighed softly and gently picked up Lin Xi.

"What...what are you doing?"

"I have already given in, you can't humiliate me anymore..."

Chu Yang ignored her and went straight to the wedding bed, gently laying her down.

"you......"

For a moment, Lin Xi couldn't quite figure out what this guy was really thinking.

Chu Yang said coldly, "I don't like fools who act on their own initiative, because that could lead to trouble. In the future, if you act on your own, it could put us in danger."

"So you have to listen to me when it really matters, understand?"

"Uh-huh."

Lin Xi dared not refute this time and obediently nodded.

Otherwise, you might get shocked again.

Just then, Chu Yang seemed to sense something and his gaze instantly turned to the outside of the gate.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing Chu Yang's actions, Lin Xi also looked over.

"......"

"My mom is here again."

"Huh? Aunt Yang??"

Lin Xi scanned the area with her divine sense and discovered that there was indeed a stealthy figure hiding outside the red pillars of the gate.

Not only Yang Yun, but also her maids Xiao Rou and Xiao Yue, and even the two maids who served Yang Yun herself.

What is Aunt Yang doing here so late at night with several maids?

Is this never going to end?

"What, what's going on?" Lin Xi suddenly felt uneasy.

Chu Yang said calmly, "Maybe you performed too well today, making my mother think that things are progressing very quickly between us. She came to see if we're making her a big, healthy grandson so she can spend time with him next year."

"......"

Lin Xi was speechless. Did they really need to come and see this?

Chu Yang continued, "Or perhaps she discovered the secret conflict between us and came to find out the situation to see if we were really acting."

"Then... what do we do now?"

"What should we do? Of course, we should act as if nothing happened and continue as usual."

As he spoke, Chu Yang took off his coat and lay down on the other side of the wedding bed, closing his eyes and concentrating.

It was as if nothing had happened.

"......"

Seeing Chu Yang lying on the bed doing absolutely nothing, Lin Xi was speechless for a moment.

Since he didn't do anything, I'm actually happy about it.

However, Lin Xi was still worried about Aunt Yang, and secretly probed out with her divine sense...

Outside the gate.

Yang Yun hid outside the door frame, eavesdropping on the sounds inside the house.

"Why is there no sound at all? Could it be that nothing happened between that kid and Xiaoxi?"

"That doesn't make sense. I saw them being affectionate today..."

Yang Yun frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with the eerily quiet atmosphere in the room.

She thought their relationship had blossomed, but it turned out nothing had happened.

"Madam, perhaps we shouldn't disturb the young master and young lady's rest. It's getting late; why don't you go back and rest as well?"

Xiao Rou and Xiao Yue exchanged a glance, feeling helpless in the face of the Chu family matriarch.

They were supposed to go to rest in the middle of the night, but they saw the mistress of the house arrive as soon as they left the mansion, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow her.

After all, they didn't want anything to happen to their young lady.

But if the young lady finds out they were spying outside the door, she will definitely punish them.

Yang Yun ignored Xiao Rou's words and continued to frown and think.

"What exactly happened?"

"Are they a little tired today and want to rest first?"

"Or... are they just putting on an act? Just deceiving us?"

Thinking of this, Yang Yun's good mood immediately plummeted.

That's a possibility, after all, they've experienced it before.

Given her son and Xiaoxi's situation, the possibility of them acting is even higher...

"ah??"

"It's all over, it's all over."

Inside the bridal chamber.

Upon hearing Yang Yun's guess, Lin Xi's heart sank into an icy abyss.

So, this is how Aunt Yang figured out they were acting?

If it were exposed, not only would Chu Yang be held accountable, but she herself would also be questioned and investigated by the Lin family!

"Chu Yang, what do we do now?!"

Ignoring everything else, Lin Xi climbed to the other side of the bed and grabbed Chu Yang's wrist.

Chu Yang did not open his eyes, remaining as calm as before.

"So what if it's been exposed?"

Lin Xi was taken aback. "So what if you're exposed? You don't really care?"

"Sooner or later, this day would come."

Lin Xi was overjoyed. "Then should we just tell them we're dissolving the marriage contract?"

"Sure, you can do it if you want."

"However, I will kill you directly when the time comes, because after you are free, it will be either you or me who dies. Even though I don't want it to be like this, after all, we have a deep-seated hatred between us."

Lin Xi was immediately met with a bucket of cold water.

Chu Yang definitely won't let her leave.

After all, their fate may very well repeat itself in the future.

"So what do you suggest we do now? You have to give us a solution, right?"

"Whatever, if we're exposed, we're exposed."

"......"

I won't do this or that.

So you just want me dead?

Lin Xi was about to explode, but Chu Yang clearly didn't care about such a trivial matter.

After that, she would have to deal with the two families' subsequent attacks and give Chu Yang an answer.

But what is she supposed to do?

If handled improperly, not only will both families retaliate, but Chu Yang might even take his anger out on her.

Does she really have to offer herself to this guy?
