Unlimited estates for rural beauty-Chapter 106 Preparing to Build a Greenhouse (9)
Time trickled by, the seconds ticking away, as Feng Xuxu was absorbed in embroidering clothes in her space, unaware that outside, Xiao Chen arrived at her chamber but found no trace of her. "Speak, what’s going on, where is she?"
Yingsu and Baihe were also very perplexed; they clearly saw the young miss enter the room, so how could she have disappeared when they hadn’t left and had been guarding the door all along?
Thud... Xiao Chen, furious, smashed a table and glared at the two people in front of him. Then, with a raise of his hand, Yingsu was drawn to him as if a magnet had attracted iron.
Xiao Chen, clutching Yingsu’s throat, demanded, "Speak, where is she?" His crimson eyes bore into her like he was staring down a dead person.
"Master... Master... Master... Cough cough... I really don’t know... Just now, I saw her enter with my own eyes," Yingsu sputtered, her little face turning purplish-red from the strain.
With a thump, Baihe knelt down before Xiao Chen, "Master, please let Yingsu go. We truly saw the young miss enter her room, we were right outside the whole time, we didn’t see her leave, nor did we hear any noise." Baihe knew Yingsu was close to collapsing; if he didn’t let go now, she would indeed die. She had always known the master to be ruthless, with the exception of his treatment towards the young miss. But now, with the young miss missing, she had to plead for mercy, hoping desperately that the young miss would appear soon.
Feng Xuxu was nervously embroidering when she suddenly heard something; listening intently, she realized it was coming from her own room. She thought about going out but was afraid of revealing her secret. While she was frowning in worry, Xiaobai strolled over leisurely, and she said, "Xiaobai, come here, I have something to tell you. After this is done, I’ll make you some flower wine."
Xiaobai, hearing this enticing offer, swaggered over with a cat’s grace, "Sister, what is it?"
"Well, could you go to my room and lead Xiao Chen away? How about that?"
"Not going. That’s not a person. I’ll be bigger soon. Once I get my magic back, see if I don’t deal with him, hmmph." Xiaobai pouted indignantly.
"Really not going? Then there won’t be any delicious wine for you, ah, such a pity," Feng Xuxu glanced indirectly at Xiaobai and saw the look of regret on his face, chuckling secretly to herself, waiting to see if he would go.
"Fine, for sister’s sake, I’ll let him off this time," Xiaobai said haughtily and then vanished before her.
Feng Xuxu watched from her special space and, seeing that she had successfully diverted Xiao Chen’s attention, appeared in the room with a teleport. She still had her needle and thread box in hand.
"Eh, what happened to Yingsu?" Feng Xuxu noticed Yingsu kneeling on the ground, taking deep breaths as if she were oxygen-deprived.
"Miss, where did you go? The master came and couldn’t find you, he was so angry, we feared that you..." Baihe said between sobs, barely catching her breath.
"Alright, it’s my fault. I just went to find a piece of cloth to make you a set of clothes; I had no idea this would happen," Feng Xuxu helped raise Yingsu from the ground with Baihe’s assistance and went over to pour a cup of Spiritual Spring Water for Yingsu.
"Yingsu, drink this quickly." Yingsu took the cup and drained it in a few gulps, her complexion now looking much better than before.
"Baihe, help Yingsu back to her room. That’s it for today; I’ll explain things to Xiao Chen."
"As you wish, young miss, this servant will take her leave," Baihe said as she watched Baihe supporting Yingsu to leave, then settled herself into a chair to wait for Xiao Chen’s return.
"Aoo..." Xiaobai glared at Xiao Chen, who was relentlessly pursuing him, wishing he could swallow the man whole.
"Speak, where is your Family Head?" Xiao Chen demanded, not caring whether Xiaobai was human or not. Having lost sight of his beloved, he clung to this familiar figure in desperation.
"Aoo..." Seeing the frenzied Xiao Chen, Xiaobai shivered inside, but as a Divine Beast, he refused to show fear.
Xiaobai turned to head back but found Xiao Chen blocking his retreat.
"Speak, where is my woman? Otherwise, I’ll make sure you die a complete death!" His crimson irises grew more ferocious, his entire being exuding the aura of death, which Xiaobai found truly terrifying. He pointed a paw toward the estate, and as Xiao Chen’s gaze shifted to the estate, Xiaobai teleported into his space, still shaken by those eyes.
Xiao Chen ran wildly and soon appeared in Feng Xuxu’s chamber, where he found his woman embroidering a garment. The weight on his heart finally lifted.
"Where did you go? I couldn’t find you," Xiao Chen said as he tightly embraced Feng Xuxu, leaving no space between them, for fear she might vanish again like before.
"I went to find a piece of fabric for you, I want to make you a piece of clothing, look!" Feng Xuxu turned her head to the half-embroidered garment on the bed.
