The youth’s eyes were lowered and he did not say anything for a long while. After some time passed, he then opened his mouth to say softly: “You are chasing me away because of this man here.”

Qing Yu shook her head and laughed softly. “I am not chasing you away. I am merely trying to broaden your horizons and allow you to have better choices to choose from. In the past, regardless of anything you did, I was able to choose to shut one eye to all your misdeeds as they were afterall beneficial to me. I am also not some goody two shoes. But there is one thing that Little Burrow you forgot. I said that you must never ever harm the people around me and you have defied my orders.”

Zang Mai’s fists clenched up tighter and he did not say a word, like he was holding something back. Finally unable to remain there any longer, he turned himself around and left, slamming the door shut behind him.

Qing Yu’s face was expressionless and she did not say anything to persuade him to stay. [She had let that fella had his way with things a little too much or how could he possibly dare to commit such a deed over her head like this today? If she doesn’t take him down a peg or two, he would forever not feel any remorse or change.]

“And you’re chasing him away just like that?” A man’s voice questioned softly behind her, his voice a little raspy. It was probably because he had fallen asleep for awhile and was still feeling a little groggy having just woken up.

Qing Yu turned to the side and saw the man’s half opened eyes, the violet orbs tinged with faint smiles. He was looking at her intently, his handsome countenance still showing a hint of paleness like he was ill, causing that always wilful and flamboyant looking face to seem a little frail.

“Looks like my poison isn’t lethal enough. To think that you will wake up so soon.” Qing Yu said with an eyebrow raised, glancing at him out of the corner of an eye.

Lou Jun Yao placed a hand beneath his head as he laid there, the corners of his lips curved up in a mischievous smile. “You would really poison me to death? Can you really bear to do that?”

[What a duplicitous little fox, her bark meaner than her bite. She had clearly fed him a blood nourishing elixir but just insists on saying that it’s poison.]

Qing Yu scoffed. “Why not? You look like a fool who does not treasure his life anyway, so instead of wasting my effort to save you all the time, I’d rather just feed you poison and that will be the end of it. Die early so you can reincarnate sooner.”

The smile on Lou Jun Yao’s lips stiffened. “.....”

[This venomous tongued vixen. Never giving in an inch, and would never admit defeat.]

The atmosphere was strange and silent for a while and Lou Jun Yao then came to realize where he really was at that moment.
