Chapter 31

“What?” Qi Xuan and Qi Xue both went blank, as if they couldn’t believe their ears.
Ye Lixiao, however, had no patience left to entertain them. Since all three of them had tried to harm Xing Luo, not a single one would be spared.
Xing Luo had already died once. Now that she had returned to the mortal world, Ye Lixiao would protect her at all costs, never letting her fall into danger. Anyone who posed a threat to Xing Luo’s safety simply could not be allowed to remain.
“He Chen, Yuan Xiu,” Ye Lixiao called coldly.
“Reporting!” He Chen and Yuan Xiu, who had been hiding in the shadows, immediately appeared at the summons.
Ye Lixiao said, “Handle them cleanly.”
“Yes!”
The two immediately moved toward the Qi sisters.
“Your Highness! Spare us! We promise we’ll never do it again!” The sisters’ faces turned pale with fear. Ye Lixiao never joked, was he really going to deal with them just for Xing Luo’s sake?!
Ye Lixiao didn’t even glance at them.
Qi Xuan and Qi Xue instinctively tried to run, but their cultivation levels were far lower than He Chen and Yuan Xiu. They were immediately pinned to the ground.
“Ah!!” He Chen and Yuan Xiu each held one of the sisters down, destroying their cultivation and foundation.
Their foundation, the basis of their human cultivation, once destroyed, they could never return to human form.
When He Chen and Yuan Xiu released them, the Qi sisters had completely disappeared, leaving only their clothes on the ground. The clothing bulged slightly, as if something still moved inside.
Before long, two guinea pigs crawled out from the clothes.
He Chen bent down and picked them up. The Qi sisters had been fully reverted to animals, their human consciousness gone. They could now be taken straight to the market and sold.
After cleaning up the scene, the two went to the Danhua Palace where Cheng Xinyan was.
At that time, Cheng Xinyan was sitting in the courtyard’s rocking chair, basking in the sun, waiting for good news from Qi Xuan.
But instead of good news, He Chen and Yuan Xiu arrived.
Without a word, they immediately subdued Cheng Xinyan.
“What are you doing?!” Cheng Xinyan struggled desperately, but her cultivation had been stripped. Even if it hadn’t, she was no match for these two.
“Miss Cheng, Your Highness already knows what you did. We are only carrying out orders,” He Chen said, reaching for the top of her head.
“No.” Cheng Xinyan’s face went ashen, her eyes filled with fear, but it did nothing to deter He Chen.
Moments later, Cheng Xinyan disappeared, leaving only her clothes on the ground. Her true form, a snake, was coiled inside, and He Chen grabbed it directly.
Even He Chen and Yuan Xiu were surprised by the outcome. After all, in their eyes, Xing Luo was just a replacement for the previous Demon Lord. They hadn’t expected Ye Lixiao to go this far for her.
After handling the scene, the two returned to report. At this time, Ye Lixiao had returned to the study, and Xing Luo stayed behind to continue her lessons.
The cheating incident had been fully exposed, and with Ye Lixiao personally backing her up, willing to execute the daughters of the Right and Left Ministers without hesitation for her sake, no one else dared to provoke Xing Luo anymore.
During class, Xing Luo’s thoughts had already drifted far away. She was, after all, just a spirit pet Ye Lixiao had picked up. For her sake, he had offended the Right and Left Ministers. Though they dared not act recklessly, they would certainly be displeased. No matter how she thought about it, it wasn’t advantageous.
Yet today’s events seemed to prove one thing. Ye Lixiao didn’t hate her, did he?
