Chapter 891: Threats

Translator: Lonelytree 

I admit that my eyeballs almost fell out.

Wen Dian seemed to understand my thoughts, and he explained, “This happened yesterday afternoon. When you were already here, I went back to catch up with them. So you see, they won’t look for you, nor will they find you. Nanxing, from now on, you are mine.”

“Keep dreaming!” I raised my leg and kicked him.

He retreated nimbly and smiled. “Nanxing, your bad temper is also cute.”

I stroked the goosebumps on my arm and glared at him. “Get lost! Get away from me! I don’t want to see you!”

He stood still.

I jumped down from the swing and angrily pulled the mute girl over. “Let’s go!”

The mute girl staggered after I pulled her. She turned around and looked at Wen Dian in panic. Wen Dian smiled and said, “Mute girl, serve the young miss well. Otherwise, your entire family’s lives will be lost.”

The Mute Girl’s face was deathly pale. Her legs went weak, and she knelt on the ground.

I was so angry that I wanted to tear Wen Dian apart. I angrily said, “You’re really a bastard! You actually used the lives of her entire family to threaten her! Are you also threatening me? If I secretly ran away, would you take their entire family’s lives?”

Wen Dian nodded. His smile did not change. “That’s right.”

I…

I pushed away the mute girl who had just stood up and pushed her to the side. I said angrily, “It’s a pity that I’ve never been threatened! I’ve only known her for a few hours. What do her life and death have to do with me? Her entire family’s life and death have nothing to do with me. You don’t have to use this kind of moral kidnapping! I don’t want her to serve me! Wen Dian, I will leave here! You can rest assured!”

Wen Dian didn’t even look at me, and his expression became indifferent. “Mute girl, Miss doesn’t want your service. Tell me, why do I keep you? What’s the use of keeping your parents and brothers?”

The mute girl plopped to her knees at my feet. She couldn’t speak and looked at me mournfully with tears streaming down her face. Then, she kowtowed. The ground was covered with pebbles, she didn’t care. I quickly reached out to pull her back, her forehead was a bloody mess.

Her face was covered in tears. She clasped her hands together. Her eyes were pleading.

I sighed. “Get up.”

The Mute girl refused.

I glared at Wen Dian. “You win. I lost.”

I said gently to the mute, “Get up. I won’t make things difficult for you. You can stay by my side.”

The Mute girl’s eyes lit up. She couldn’t believe it.

She timidly looked at Wen Dian.

Wen Dian once again turned into that gentle appearance. He said to the mute girl, “Your entire family’s life is saved by miss. In the future, you can do whatever Miss asks you to do. You can’t disobey her. She is your master!”

The mute girl hurriedly nodded. She wanted to kowtow to thank me again. I pulled her back. “Alright, stop kowtowing. You’re already bleeding. I won’t make things difficult for you. You can get up.”

Only then did the mute girl carefully stand up and timidly stand to the side.

Wen Dian smiled. “Nanxing, I didn’t misjudge you. You’re indeed soft-hearted and pure-hearted. It’s rare to see a girl like you in this world. How fortunate for me to meet you.”

I rolled my eyes at him and said indifferently, “In the future, you can evaluate whether it’s fortunate or unfortunate. Let’s talk about something useful. What are you planning to do by keeping me here?”

I extended my arm. “It’s for the Phoenix Blood, right? How much does it take every day? How do you want me to cooperate with you?”

Wen Dian gave me a thumbs up. “What a smart girl. It doesn’t take any effort to talk to you. It’s really comfortable.”
