Chapter 10

Xing Luo: “Got it, got it.”
Ye Lixiao was her boss now, how could she dare offend him?
With her current cultivation, she had no chance of fighting him. Provoking him would be courting death. Xing Luo knew exactly how to behave.
Yuan Xiu said, “That’s all I can tell you. Miss Luo’er, if you have any questions, you can come to me.”
“All right, little brother, thanks.” Xing Luo patted Yuan Xiu on the shoulder.
“Miss, you’re welcome,” Yuan Xiu subtly dodged her hand.
Though His Highness said that Luo’er was merely his attendant, one could guess the real reason she was kept close to Ye Lixiao: her resemblance to that other person.
Since she was a replacement for that person, she was naturally untouchable.
“…” Xing Luo smiled and withdrew her hand. In this demon palace, nobody was allowed to be touched? Were they afraid she’d eat them?
And when she said “eat”, she meant it literally, nothing else.
Xing Luo was a tiger, at the top of the food chain. Across the Six Realms, there was nothing she wouldn’t eat.
But on enemy territory, she naturally had to restrain herself. Also, while Xing Luo wasn’t exactly virtuous, she didn’t casually eat people, only those who had committed evil.
“By the way,” Xing Luo said with interest, looking at Yuan Xiu, “you just said there are no women in the palace, and His Highness dislikes others being close. So, is he.incapable?”
“Miss, don’t speak nonsense!” Yuan Xiu’s face changed. This girl really had no limits, daring to say anything!
Whether His Highness was “capable” or not wasn’t for a servant like him to speculate.
To dare speculate so maliciously and insult him. did this girl not care about her life?
Yuan Xiu hurriedly explained, “Miss Luo’er, our Highness merely keeps himself chaste and refrains from women, not because he’s incapable.”
“Why avoid women? No interest in them? Could it be, he likes men? No wonder there are no women in the palace,” Xing Luo analyzed.
“That’s not it! Miss, whatever you say, never mention this in front of His Highness!” Yuan Xiu said anxiously. Even if a cat had nine lives, she wouldn’t survive saying that to Ye Lixiao.
“I know, I’m just saying it in front of you.” Better here than in front of him, saying it to him would be suicidal.
“Phew” Yuan Xiu exhaled in relief. “Miss, our Highness has a woman he likes, a woman he’s loved for many years. It’s for her that he keeps himself chaste, not as you guessed.”
“Oh?” Xing Luo raised an eyebrow. “And who is this woman?”
She couldn’t believe Ye Lixiao could be so devoted and faithful.
But that didn’t change the fact that she still disliked him.
Yuan Xiu pressed his lips together, saying no more. Clearly, her questions were about taboos, things he could not reveal.
“Never mind then.” Whoever Ye Lixiao liked didn’t concern Xing Luo anyway.
Xing Luo asked, “Do you know where His Highness went?”
“To handle memorials.”
“Can I go see him?”
“No” Okay.
“Bang!” Yuan Xiu didn’t even finish saying “no” before a loud crash sounded. Looking over, Xing Luo had disappeared. Her clothes lay on the floor, with a noticeable bulge in the center.
After a moment, a little kitten climbed out from the clothes, shook her fur, and, good grief!, her transformation wasn’t stable yet; she had reverted back again.
Yuan Xiu: “…” Xing Luo, in her human form, couldn’t go disturb His Highness, but as a little kitten. that was acceptable.
