Chapter 208: A Devil Who Covers the Sky With One Hand?

er life. This time, she almost fell while gathering medicine for Chu Tianqi.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!“I...” Xiao Yuge raised her eyes, surprised by the anger i...A flicker of disappointment crossed Qian Tingxuan's eyes, but he still nodded in agreement. "Alright, since you want to know, I'll tell you. But you have to promise me you won't tell anyone else, otherwise, not only will she be in danger, but I'll be implicated too."

"I promise!" Xiao Yuge nodded seriously in response.

"Actually, her name isn't He Hongxiu, her real name is Qian Lixiu, she's my elder sister!"

"What Her She's a princess" This time Xiao Yuge was astonished. She hadn't expected that the mistress of the renowned Red Xiu Mountain Villa, He Hongxiu, was actually a princess in reality.

"Well, she had a sweetheart back then, but was forced to go to Tianzhu country as a bride. So, on the way there, she faked her death and fooled everyone..."

"So that's how it is." Xiao Yuge roughly understood, but she didn't understand why He Hongxiu would be connected to the Thunder Pavilion. Could it be...

On thinking this, she sat up and looked him up and down. Suddenly, she covered his mouth with her hand, leaving only her eyes exposed. They were like... but not quite like them. These eyes were much gentler. Those eyes were cold and ruthless, terrifyingly so. How could the demon who could crush a person with a single palm not be terrifying

"What's wrong" Qian Tingxuan finally noticed that something was off with her. This little thing kept asking so many questions, did she discover something

"It's nothing, just a little curious." Xiao Yuge lay back down again, letting out a breath of relief: it must have been her overthinking. He was just an idle prince with no power or influence, how could he possibly be the ruthless and powerful Demon Lord

However, she didn't know that his gentleness was only for her.

"How did you suddenly think to ask me this"

"It's not like she herself said he was your heartthrob, people just want to ask," Xiao Yuge pursed her lips. An excuse She had thought it through before asking.

"She's just teasing you, don't take it to heart. If you're upset with her, next time she comes around, I'll take you out to get even." Sounds like you've got a lovesick fool on your hands, willing to throw everyone else aside for this woman

"No need, she didn't get the better of me last time either." Xiao Yuge wasn't someone petty. Besides, she had won last time: "Where does she live now"

"She now lives in Hongxiushan Villa."

Xiao Yuge sang again, "Have you ever been to Hongxiu Mountain Villa" She secretly observed his expression. As a result, she was somewhat disappointed. When he heard about Hongxiu Mountain Villa, although he was wearing a mask, it was impossible to see his expression, but his eyes seemed to have no waves either. Could it be that she had overthought things

“No, she’s worried that if I go, it will expose her whereabouts. So she told me not to go. Every year when she comes down the mountain to pay respects to her mother, if I happen to be in the capital, she will quietly come to the prince's mansion to take a look at me and leave. That last time was.”

"Oh." Xiao Yuge felt that what he said was reasonable and there was nothing suspicious about it.

"By the way, Ge'er, speaking of this, I forgot to ask you, who did you learn your Ghostly Shadow Needle from"

Why are we talking about this

Xiao Yu Ge secretly frowned, but her face remained unchanged. Her big eyes blinked innocently, looking clueless: "What's a ghost shadow needle"

"The move you used to injure your elder sister is called Ghost Shadow Needles." Little one, don't try to play dumb.

"Oh, you're talking about that I don't even know what it's called. It was something Night Big Bro taught me." Xiao Yu Ge immediately came up with an excuse. He wasn't going to actually go find Night Big Bro to verify, so what harm was there in telling a little lie

"There's no way someone without joy could be haunted by needles." It was obvious that her poor acting hadn't fooled the shrewd Qian Tingxuan.

“Anyone who says he can’t do it is lying, he's capable of so much more.” Ke Xiao Yuge bit back firmly, “He even taught me a lot of things, like the Ling Bo Wei Bu (light-footed dance) and water walking. It's a pity that my aptitude is mediocre, some things... no matter how many times he taught me, I still couldn't do it.” Even if she refused to admit it, what could he do

"It seems like you've been spending a lot of time with him lately." Sure enough, Qian Tingxuan's attention was immediately diverted. Ye Wuhuan actually dared to meet her privately so many times, it was truly hateful.

"As you know, my skills are all thanks to him. Learning his kung fu naturally makes it a bit easier." Xiao Yuge wasn't afraid he would spill the beans, as long as he didn't doubt her.

"All martial arts are similar at their core. Whatever you want to learn in the future, I'll teach you. Don't go learn from him anymore." Qian Tingxuan domineeringly held her: "You just promised me that you will practice internal energy techniques with me every night from now on."

"Alright, alright. I'll study hard with you from now on." After this experience, Xiao Yuge still felt that it was better to practice her inner strength first before anything else. Otherwise, if she encountered a master, even if she had the clavicle knife and the golden silkworm armor, she wouldn't be able to withstand a palm strike from afar. If that hit her head, wouldn't she just explode on the spot

By the way, are you not going to court today

Qian Tingxuan shook his head and smiled wryly: "No need, I'm just a idle prince with no power or influence. Why should I go to court Only sometimes my elder brother will summon me into the palace to chat for a while.

"Does the Emperor know about your poisoning" Logically, since the Emperor and Qian Tingxuan have such a good relationship, it's impossible for him to only give him the title of Prince. With Qian Tingxuan's intelligence and talent, he should be used more. The only explanation is that the Emperor also knows about his poisoning.

"You know..."

Both fell silent.

"I want to take a nap. It's not yet mealtime, so don't wake me up." Xiao Yu Ge moved closer to his arms and then found a comfortable position, closing her eyes: "If you feel tired holding me, just put me on the pillow."

"I won't get tired, I can hold you for a lifetime without getting tired." He gently smoothed her messy hair, making her sleep more comfortably. His eyes were so tender, they seemed to soften everything around them. With such tenderness, no one would ever suspect that he was the ruthless and merciless Lord of Lei Ting Pavilion.

Thinking of He Cailing's words last night, a touch of melancholy couldn't help but cloud his eyes. He wanted to spend his whole life with her, to hold her like this forever, but how long could his life be He had never doubted his feelings for her, but at this moment, he couldn't help but wonder if his persistent pursuit would one day harm her

"Oh, my dearest, what am I to do with you"

He wouldn't let her go, he couldn't bear to. He had waited for her for so many years, hoping she would grow up, and he had already taken ninety-nine steps towards her. It was just one step away before they could be together, and he was unwilling to give up now.

In the palace.

"Your Majesty, this servant heard that you haven't been eating well these past few days. This servant personally made some snacks, all of your favorites. Please try them." The Empress herself carried a box of exquisite pastries into the Nourishing Heart Hall.et's go."Xiao Yu Ge gently put on the gatekeeper's uniform. These days, she would appear beside Feng Yan Niang as Feng Ying Xue, a maid. She hoped everything would go smoothly. Though she was curious...
