Under the pale moonlight, silence overwhelmed the Peace Mansion.
However, there was only one room that wasnât silent.
âWoof, woof, woofâŠâ A woman could be heard imitating a bark. It was loud and quite attractive.
âWasnât she sick? Why is she playing the dog training game again?â Xia Lei couldnât help but find it weird. He stood before the door for a few seconds before pushing it open.
Xia Lei was welcomed by a wonderful scene upon entry.
Qing Caiyue was bent over on the ground with her arms propping her body up. A red string was tied loosely around her neck. A piece of ham sausage was dangling off her lips. It was as if she was involved in a roleplaying fetish fantasy. The last time this had happened, Qing Caiyue was merely imitating a dog while fully clothed. This time, she was stark naked with props surrounding her! She was caught in a particular scene with a suggestive posture. How could any man resist the sight of her on all fours?
Xia Lei was shell-shocked. Was there an upgrade to the game?
Qing Caiyue ignored him. She kneeled beside the bed and started to whine. Her raised behind started to sway side to side. This mysterious scene made Xia Leiâs pants tight around his groins. He tried desperately to control his urges but there was just no way of suppressing his lust.
Zhu Xuanyue was on the bed under a thick blanket. There was a thermometer peeking out from her mouth and there was a neatly-folded fabric against her forehead. It seemed like she was really sick.
âUncle Xia.â Zhu Xuanyueâs mumbles were unclear due to the thermometer.
Xia Lei entered the room and quickly shut the door.
âWoof! Woof! Woof!â Qing Caiyue abruptly released the ham sausage in her mouth to come crawling towards Xia Lei.
Though her movements were nowhere as fast and effortless as a real dog, the way she crawled over was much more beautiful than any other dog in this world.
Looking at the swaying white masses, Xia Lei felt his throat go dry.
âArf!â As soon as she got to Xia Leiâs leg, she opened her mouth and bit on Xia Leiâs pants. Then, she started to back off, attempting to rip Xia Leiâs pants off him.
Xia Lei was helpless but he didnât dare to make any sudden movements. Her teeth were not those of a real dog after all. He extended a hand to pat on the top of Qing Caiyueâs head. âLet go, thatâs enough.â
âWhine!â Qing Caiyue made a noise and let go of his pants. Instead, she attacked Xia Leiâs finger.
Xia Lei frantically moved his hand away. As he tried his best to dodge her, he yelled, âXuanyue, didnât you hear me?! I said thatâs enough!â
Zhu Xuanyue removed the thermometer from her mouth. Lazily, she drawled, âI thought you were talking to her. Are you telling me to change her back?â
Xia Lei was about to affirm the statement but there was a sudden change of mind. He replied, âWait, can you make her quiet down?â
Zhu Xuanyue giggled. âUncle Xia, youâre so bad! Are you trying to look at her butt?â
Xia Lei glared at her dangerously. âThatâs not it. I got something to say to you, she must not listen to this.â
With that, Zhu Xuanyue commanded, âGood doggy, go to sleep.â
Qing Caiyue heeded her instructions obediently, gathering herself up against the floor and went to sleep. Weirdly, it didnât take another second more for Qing Caiyue to be in deep slumber.
Watching the scene, the calmness in Xia Lei was a façade to his extreme shock. He rambled to himself, âWith such a power, who could escape death when she instructs it upon you? I shouldâve been able to get rid of Ling Han and Yu Shanhe tonight. Too bad...â
âUncle Xia, didnât you want to talk to me? Why are you so quiet?â Zhu Xuanyue interrupted Xia Leiâs thoughts.
Xia Lei came to the side of the bed. Before he could even sit on the soft surface, he felt an immense whiff of cold air invade his senses. The sudden shift of temperature felt as if he was sent from Jingdu in the autumn to Harbin in the winter. It was bone piercing and physically uncomfortable. But the most harrowing thing was the aura it gave off!
Xia Leiâs attention was immediately caught by the thermometer in Zhu Xuanyueâs grip. The mercury inside was clumped together and there were no signs of a rise. He couldnât help but feel confused. Qing Caiyue mentioned that Zhu Xuanyue was developing a fever, but how was that possible when the thermometer said otherwise?
âSecretary Qing said that you fell into a ditch and got sick. She told me that you developed a fever. Was she the one who examined you?â Xia Lei stared straight into Zhu Xuanyueâs eyes.
âYeah, she was the one who checked on me and she was the one who called you,â answered Zhu Xuanyue as she blinked her round dark eyes innocently.
âAre you sure youâre developing a fever?â
âI⊠donât know. I wasnât the one who said that.â Zhu Xuanyue pointed to Qing Caiyue who was slumped against the floor and continued, âYou should ask her.â
Ask Qing Caiyue? Zhu Xuanyue was able to control Qing Caiyueâs mind at will. Thereâs no way to tell apart the words uttered by Qing Caiyue herself or the words fed to her by Zhu Xuanyue.
âNo need.â Xia Lei attempted to pry further. âWhere exactly did you go today?â
âI went into the mountain and fell into a river,â answered Zhu Xuanyue.
âReally?â
Zhu Xuanyue pouted. âI really fell into a river and even got sick. Yet, youâre doubting me and not even worried. I⊠IâŠâ
The woman started to cry. A string of water droplets came gushing down her cheeks.
âShh⊠Donât cry. Of course, Iâd be worried about you. Why would I try to find out what happened to you if I wasnât worried?â As he spoke, Xia Leiâs left eye twitched. His vision immediately penetrated through Zhu Xuanyueâs skull into her brain.
Under the tough skull was a normally developed brain. However, as soon as he bypassed the regular brain structure to arrive at its core, a piece of glistening material welcomed his sight. The finding surprised him. Compared to when he first observed the material, its numbers and strength had doubled. Some parts of it were even showing signs of an awakening!
âUncle Xia, what are you looking at?â Abruptly, Zhu Xuanyue stared at Xia Lei cautiously.
Suddenly, Xia Lei felt a sharp pain in his left eye. The glistening material in his field of vision was abruptly replaced by a span of thick swirling darkness. It wasnât akin to a night sky voided of stars, it was akin to a powerful black hole!
What the hell was going on?
Xia Lei was too shocked. This was the first time his X-ray vision had been cut off by an external force.
âUncle Xia, what are you trying to look at?â Zhu Xuanyue repeated the question.
Xia Lei shook his head. âNo, nothing. What did you think I was looking at?â
An innocent grin appeared on Zhu Xuanyueâs face. âYouâre looking at me. Youâre a bad uncle, you kept looking at Aunty Qingâs butt just now.â
Without warning, Zhu Xuanyue peeled away her blanket. The fabric insulation on top of her felt like it was frozen for days. With a swift moment, the fabric slid off her body like an oversized foam sheet.
âPfft!â Xia Lei almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Zhu Xuanyue was completely naked, exposing all her beauty to the air.
Her body was aesthetically perfect, be it from her height, curves, dimensions, and proportion. She was perfectly crafted to the point where there was no fault to her body. However, that wasnât the most shocking thing to Xia Lei. The man had found it hard to move his eyes away from her skin, which looked like it was sculpted cautiously from ice. It was flawless and translucent, creating an illusion where you could see past her skin to the muscles beneath. Zhu Xuanyueâs beauty was mysterious and reigned superior over jades of the best quality.
âHehe!â Zhu Xuanyue hugged the foam sheet-like blanket to cover her body. âYouâre a bad uncle! See, youâre going to get a sty if you keep staring like that.â
Xia Lei broke out of his daze to extend an arm over. He grabbed on Zhu Xuanyueâs wrist tightly. The skin contact transported a wave of chillness into his body but Xia Lei had an extremely strong homeostasis regulation. Before long, his body was already used to the stimulation brought by the bone-piercing coldness.
âUncle Xia? What are you doing? It hurts.â Zhu Xuanyue looked pitiful.
In a stern voice, Xia Lei warned, âXuanyue, tell me the truth. Where exactly did you go today?â
âI went to the mountains!â Zhu Xuanyue was now irritated. Something dangerous flashed in her eyes. âThis is the second time Iâve repeated myself, stop asking me this!â
There was a surge of pressure and danger that gripped Xia Leiâs mind. The man quickly released her wrist and took a step back.
Zhu Xuanyue reverted to her normal state. She looked wronged. âUncle Xia, please donât yell and beat me. I swear Iâll listen to you, okay?â
The one who was frightened was Xia Lei, not her.
Xia Lei fell silent. He said, âXuanyue, promise me something. Promise me that youâll be a good guy and not a villain. No bad deeds are allowed under my watch, got it?â
Zhu Xuanyue nodded.
âPlease do not turn Secretary Qing into a dog again, alright?â Xia Lei said.
âI donât mean to bully her too but she keeps bullying me. Thatâs why I turned her into a dog,â defended Zhu Xuanyue.
âHow did she bully you?â
âShe said I was a rascal and beat my butt.â
Xia Lei could only laugh at that. Having Qing Caiyue teach her etiquette wouldâve required some discipline. But Zhu Xuanyue was literally the devil. How was she going to obey Qing Caiyueâs teaching wordlessly? Perhaps it would be best to keep Qing Caiyue away from Zhu Xuanyue. Who knew if Qing Caiyue would be badly injured by Zhu Xuanyueâs actions someday?
âAlright, I rest my case.â Xia Lei continued, âBut let me ask you one last question. Whatâs with your body? Why is it so cold?â
âI donât know. I ate some things and I became very uncomfortableâŠâ Zhu Xuanyue blinked innocently. âUncle Xia, Iâm really cold. Can you please sleep with me? If you do Iâll take back my words about you growing a sty.â
Xia Lei glared at her. âThatâs enough. Alright, turn Secretary Qing back and have her go to sleep.â
âAlright.â Zhu Xuanyue nodded.
Abruptly, Qing Caiyue crawled up from the floor and removed the string around her neck. Following that, she picked up her clothes and underwear that were scattered around the floor and began to dress.
Now fully-clothed, Qing Caiyue went to the exit, opened the door, and left their vicinity blankly.
âYou should go to sleep too. Good night.â Xia Lei too left Zhu Xuanyueâs room.
Exiting the room, Xia Lei watched Qing Caiyue enter the guest room prepared for her. Throughout her journey there, she did not even turn back to spare a glance.
The moonlight remained as pristine as before. The autumn breeze continued to rustle the trees.
Xia Lei stared at the stars above and began to ponder about the mysterious deaths of the body-builders along with Zhu Xuanyueâs odd situation earlier.
Tonight was bound to be another sleepless night.
