Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off

Chapter 208: Chapter 206: Killing and Heart-Slaying

She continued,

”What I owed you, I’ve already paid back. But when it comes to feelings, I, Shen Yue, have never owed you a thing.”

”So, why are you using matters of the heart to test and torment me?”

’Even if Bai Chaosi had his reasons, or some plan that required him to stay by Xiao Ya’s side, he should have told me!’

’Was there anything we couldn’t have faced together, or investigated together?’

’Did he not trust me, or did he not trust my abilities?’

’We could have carried out the plan together, investigated the person together, faced anything together. But he chose to do things his own way.’

’This was the second time.’

’The incident with Jie Ying was the first. He had a thousand chances to tell me that he and Jie Ying were bound by a Life Contract.’

’But he chose to face it alone.’

’It was the same this time. If he really had some plan that required him to use amnesia to get close to Xiao Ya, he could have told me that, too.’

’Instead of just leaving after waking up, disregarding my feelings, making me worry, making me suffer.’

’Whatever he wanted to do, if he had just told me, we could have—at worst—worked together to fool Xiao Ya.’

’Is that so hard?’

So, now she was going to let Bai Chaosi play out his amnesia to the very end, let him see his plan through to the bitter end. Wasn’t this the path he chose?!

Well this time, she was going to teach him a harsh lesson.

She would see just what he was planning to do by faking amnesia and staying by Xiao Ya’s side. In the end, would she be the one to uncover the truth first, or would he get what he wanted with his self-righteous methods!

In short, they would not interfere with each other!

Bai Chaosi was rendered speechless by her barrage of questions.

He opened his mouth, seeming to want to explain something desperately.

But Huang Ziyue pulled Shen Yue into his arms, shielding her like a great mountain.

”Mr. Bai, you must walk the path you’ve chosen, even if you have to crawl.”

He raised an eyebrow, his tone hardening.

”You’d better not give up halfway. Don’t disappoint me, the Emperor’s Master.”

Bai Chaosi’s face paled, and he glared at Huang Ziyue, his killing intent flaring.

The two men locked eyes. In that instant, it was like heavenly thunder striking earthly fire, their gazes filled with murderous intent.

It seemed they would come to blows at any second.

It was also as if, in this moment, Bai Chaosi had dropped his act entirely.

The gentle, jade-like, noble, and courteous facade from the past vanished without a trace, replaced by the cold, ruthless side of his heart.

Shen Yue frowned. Bai Chaosi had told her his life story on the day she was abducted by the man in black.

’She knew it. How could someone with his kind of upbringing possibly be as gentle as jade and detached from worldly affairs as he appeared on the surface?’

’Without ruthless methods, a calculating mind, and a strong, calm head, how could he have possibly survived the torment of being bound by a Life Contract since childhood?’

’Hidden in his heart was a black fox that could destroy everything at any moment—vicious and cold.’

Just like now, the killing intent and cold indifference erupting from him were daunting and terrifying.

Shen Yue had never seen this side of Bai Chaosi.

For a moment, she couldn’t even tell if she truly knew him at all.

At that moment, Bai Chaosi truly wanted to kill the Huang Ziyue before him, no matter the cost.

But upon seeing the figure at the courtyard gate, reason pulled him back.

’That’s right. Yesterday, he was the one who personally said he didn’t remember her.’

’He was the one who wanted to draw a line between himself and Shen Yue.’

’This was his choice. This was what he had to bear...’

’But that doesn’t mean this man has the right to have her.’

’In this lifetime, no one will take Shen Yue’s love from his grasp.’

He took a breath and retracted his terrifying aura.

He did not intend to continue clashing with Shen Yue. Instead, he spoke to Huang Ziyue.

”What I do is not for some old fossil to comment on. You’ve lived for several hundred years, after all; I doubt you have many days left. If you have the free time to stare at me, Great Emperor Master, you’d be better off taking care of your own body. You wouldn’t want it to fail you at a critical moment and break your back!”

As soon as the words were out, they struck Huang Ziyue right where it hurt.

Shen Yue was dumbfounded!

’That’s Bai Chaosi for you, switching his attack attribute in an instant...’

’He dropped the physical attacks and went straight for personal ones!’

’And that one line, ”old fossil,” was enough to make Huang Ziyue shut down completely...’

Not thinking that was enough, Bai Chaosi added after a pause:

”As for us young people’s affairs, we won’t trouble an old man like you to worry about them.”

Shen Yue: ”...”

’Savage!’

’He wasn’t just trying to kill him, he was trying to break his spirit!’

’That mouth of his was truly coated in poison. She reckoned that if Bai Chaosi licked his own lips, the corners of his mouth would die from the venom!’

Shen Yue didn’t dare turn her head to look at Huang Ziyue’s expression.

She didn’t need to look. She could feel the temperature dropping from the man beside her. It felt like he was about to freeze the land for a thousand miles and splatter blood on the spot!

She shivered, wondering if Huang Ziyue was going to freeze her solid in the next moment.
