Crossing the Sauvignon Blanc

Chapter 201 Xinyue Begs for Mercy

Yan Mo Mansion

In a secret room, a dazzling white light flashed, and a dozen killers suddenly appeared. After they walked out, the white light flashed again, and figures walked out one after another.

This time, it wasn't just Mu Fei, Xin Yue, Tu Shan Jing, and the Li Rong clan who wanted to deal with Xiao Yao and Xiang Liu. It was uncertain whether King Xi Yan was involved. Xiao Yao and the others were also planning to catch them all in one fell swoop, so both sides tacitly arranged their own people. Life and death depended on their own ability!

It has come to this point. Xiaoyao has joined the game and resolved all the grudges from past and present lives in one step.

Beneath the singing and dancing of the birds, undercurrents surged. Intelligence after intelligence was passed to Yan Mo and the others. Xiling Heng didn't go back. Her fingers trembled as she read the contents of the intelligence. She looked at Xiao Yao anxiously. Her throat seemed to be blocked by something. She opened her mouth several times, but no sound came out. Xiling Heng tried hard to calm her inner fear. Yan Mo's voice seemed to echo in her ears: "Xiao Yao, in the plum forest, thousands of petals pierced your body, you were tortured and killed, and you died with your eyes open!" Her voice trembled, as if she was begging.

"Xiaoyao, can't we use a puppet?"

"No, Tu Shanjing is too cunning. All the people we've found recently are his puppets. He'll only show up if I go. We can't deal with him in a crowded place, as that would hurt innocent people. This is a rare opportunity. He knows my plan and will definitely find a way to deal with me. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. It's still unknown who will win. Mother, don't worry about me. Help me protect my sister. Nothing must happen to her and the baby in her belly! Mother's medical skills are the best here."

"Okay, I promise you. But you must come back safely. Your father misses you very much!"

"I understand. Ayao will protect me. Don't worry!"

Xiling Heng suppressed the fear and panic in her heart and hugged Xiaoyao tightly in her arms. She had never been afraid of facing thousands of troops, but she was afraid of losing Xiaoyao. She already owed Xiaoyao a lot.

The main gate of Muxiyuan

Carriages arrived one after another, and from them disembarked the daughters of various wealthy families, elegantly dressed and cheerfully chatting. This wasn't their first time admiring the plum blossoms; every year at this time, they gathered to catch up and discuss which talented man had taken a fancy to which girl, which girl's marriage was not going as she wished, and who was threatening to elope with whom. Living in seclusion, they found gossip a pleasant way to spice up their boring lives.

Xiaoyao and Xiangyao were almost the last to arrive. When the carriage stopped, Xinyue happily walked forward. Before she even saw anyone, she greeted them warmly:

"Wang Ji, you are finally here. I have been looking forward to seeing you for a long time!"

The car curtain was lifted by a bony hand, and a peerless face appeared in Xinyue's eyes. The silver-white hair was really eye-catching, but a pair of ice-cold eyes glanced at Xinyue coldly. She subconsciously froze her expression and felt a chill from head to toe.

"Xiang, Xiangliu! You're here too, welcome, welcome!"

This was just an instinctive fear of Xiang Liu, and Xinyue's fingers were pinched until they turned white. But she quickly adjusted her mood and smiled again, but she stopped talking.

Xiangliu got out of the carriage first and jumped down lightly. He didn't care about the gasps coming from all around him. He turned around resolutely, reached out, took a small and delicate hand, and supported Xiaoyao carefully and considerately. Seeing that the carriage was quite high, he put his other hand directly around Xiaoyao's waist and gently carried her down.

"Xinyue, long time no see!"

"Okay, long time no see!"

She didn't know if it was because she felt guilty or was afraid of Xiaoyao, but she actually stuttered a little. She didn't dare to look into Xiangliu's eyes. When she played Fangfeng Bei before, even though she knew he was Xiangliu, she didn't feel this kind of spiritual suppression. The invisible majesty made her at a loss for a moment.

"Xinyue, why don't you invite me in? I'm not free today, so I won't come. You won't blame me, right?"

"Yes, yes, go in first. I'll arrange for someone to help you put the carriage in place. Hall Master Yan is a busy man, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't come. How dare I blame you! Princess Wang is such a joke!"

Xinyue always feels that all her thoughts have been seen through. She knows it is a trap, but still dares to come. Is she so confident that she must be the one alive?

Xiaoyao looked at Xinyue and smiled meaningfully. She wrapped her jade hand around Xiangyao's arm and looked toward the gate of Muxiang Garden, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes. "Xinyue, you deserve to die!"

However, living in fear is the greatest revenge!

Along the way, all the noble ladies stopped and looked at the two who looked like a couple from heaven.

Fangfeng Bei gave the impression of a playboy who played with the world. Despite his striking appearance, no noblewoman would be interested in a bastard like Fangfeng. Now, Xiangliu, dressed in white and with silver hair, instantly captivated everyone. His cold and arrogant demeanor, his enchanting looks, and the tenderness and affection he only showed toward Princess Wang, all filled the noblewomen with both envy and jealousy.

They were merely envious of Xiang Yao's beautiful face being won over by Xiao Yao. It was impossible for them to take his place. In their hearts, Xiang Liu was still a lowly demon, and the rebels were not worthy of their admiration. Instead, they felt that the rebels had ill intentions. If the rebels rioted, would Xi Yan disturb their peaceful days again?

"Sure enough, the daughter of a demon will only look for lowly Hydra demon leaders!"

In the darkness, several figures stared at Xiaoyao hatefully.

Xiang Yao and Xiao Yao sat alone in the pavilion for a while. Today the wind and snow had stopped, the sun was high in the sky, and the sunlight fell on their bodies, making them feel warm.

"Ayao, the weather is so nice."

"Xiaoyao, are you scared?"

Xiaoyao shook her head and nodded

"I was quite scared. At that time, I deceived myself, saying that my father was King Haoling and I was not Chichen's daughter. But I knew that when the petals passed through my body, I knew I was going to die. I am very sorry for causing you trouble and making you suffer the same pain as me. I am unwilling to accept this..."

Xiang Yao pulled Xiao Yao into his arms, and her whole body was enveloped by his aura, which made her somewhat uneasy heart feel a little warm.

"We'll be fine!"

"Ah."

The two of them hugged each other quietly, looking at the beautiful plum blossoms around them. It was indeed beautiful, but it was also filled with murderous intent.

"Wang Ji, can we talk for a few words alone? It's not convenient to talk here!"

Xinyue's voice came at an inopportune moment. Xiaoyao turned around and saw Xinyue looking at her with an uneasy expression. She seemed to have a thousand words to say but hesitated.

Xiaoyao stared at Xinyue with calm eyes for a while, and fierce murderous intent rose up. She thought that this was Xinyue's plan to separate her and Xiangyao.

"Xinyue, are you so impatient to kill me?"

Xinyue's legs went limp and she knelt down, crying, "Wang Ji, I was wrong. Please, let me and my brother go. If I hurt you in my previous life, you drugged me and I for revenge. I was threatened by Tu Shanjing, and I agreed to him out of fear. Today was a trap to kill you. I, I know you don't care. If you want to torture me because of the mistakes I made in my previous life, just torture me. Can you please, let my brother go? I don't know what's going on. I'm very scared now and I don't want to get involved. Please, Wang Ji, spare my life!"

Xinyue felt like she was back in her childhood, terrified that her father would rebel and she would be torn apart by five horses. Her fear stemmed from Xiaoyao's confidence in coming through, knowing it was a dead end. The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became. She shouldn't have gone along with Tu Shanjing's madness. If her involvement in the assassination of the princess was revealed, the Chishui clan would be finished! It was obvious that Prince Haoling also knew about Merlin's assassination. If anything happened to Xiaoyao, Prince Haoling would never let her go!

Xiaoyao was a little surprised that Xinyue would actually come and beg for mercy, but she quickly figured out the key point and sneered, "Xinyue, you know I want to kill you. Didn't you invite me here today just to make full preparations? What? Are you afraid that I'll win? Fence-sitters like you are not very pleasing. You should be more firm. I heard that they have planted a lot of assassins here. Aren't you afraid of being seen by them?"

Xinyue was shaking violently, her back drenched in cold sweat. Not only was she afraid of Xiaoyao's aggressive display, but she was also terrified by the murderous intent locked onto her by Xiangliu behind her.

"Xinyue, you're far worse now than you were in your previous life. Power is such a good thing. Once you have it, your heart will swell. You weren't like this before, begging for mercy. You were afraid. You should have been so proud as to let me beg for mercy. Why is it the other way around?"

Xiaoyao playfully walked to Xinyue and squatted down, lifting her drooping chin with her jade hand.

"Want to live?"

Xinyue nodded frantically and said quickly: "My Chishui clan's assassins have all withdrawn. I don't know what Tushan Jing wants to do, but he seems to want to capture you and has set up a very powerful formation. I swear, from now on, I will never do such a stupid thing. I don't like your brother anymore. There is no need for me to risk my life and the lives of my family for him. Tushan Jing is a lunatic. He made me do this. Xiaoyao, we don't have much hatred in this life. I have also been humiliated and lost my innocence. You have taken revenge and you have taken revenge. Can you, let me and my brother go? I really know I was wrong..."

Xiaoyao stood up and clapped her hands, as if she had touched something dirty. She replied nonchalantly, "It's not impossible for me to let you go. Actually, I'm not a stingy person. You can hurt me, but if you hurt someone close to me, I'll make sure you die horribly. Take this poison. I don't trust you! If I'm alive, you can ask me for the antidote. If I die... you'll watch yourself melt away bit by bit. You only have seven days! Take it or not, it's your decision!"

Xinyue looked at the poison handed to her by Xiaoyao and hesitated. She just wanted to make preparations for both situations, but she never thought that Xiaoyao would directly block her way.

Looking at Xiaoyao's smiling face, Xinyue only felt boundless coldness. A biting cold wind blew past, making her whole body tremble even more violently.

Xiaoyao's smile slowly faded and turned gloomy. When she was about to take the poison back, Xinyue snatched it away, closed her eyes, and stuffed it into her mouth without hesitation.

"Princess Wang, I, I've eaten. I'll go back now and tell everyone to leave. Princess Wang, you're blessed with good fortune and will definitely return safely. Xinyue, take your leave..."

After Xinyue's back disappeared around the corner, Xiang Yao asked curiously, "Are you really going to let her go and not avenge your past life's grudge?"

"She's a selfish person and knows how to weigh the pros and cons. Now she understands that Xixuan will never be able to unify the Great Wilderness. Tu Shanjing should have told her that Xixuan has me in his heart. There's no need for her to kill me for Xixuan. It's not worth it. Let her be. If she really behaves herself, I'll have less trouble, right?"
