Chapter 842: Evil Consort
When the Crown Prince suddenly spoke, Xie Pinggang could not help but feel his heart tighten. He snorted secretly, but he did not dare to act rashly on the surface. He said in a m.u.f.fled voice, “I didn’t hit you hard…”
Her forehead was probably red. Her brother did not show any mercy at all!
“Qiao’er’s body isn’t healthy. How could you do this?” Zhao Xuanjing said and pulled Xie Qiao behind him. “Dodge him next time. Your brother didn’t hit you lightly. You still have your head, but what if he breaks it next time?”
Xie Pinggang was almost furious when he heard that.
He did not have a hammer in his hand. How could he break her head with just a light pat?!
This was his sister, not His Highness’ biological sister. What could he do about it?!
Of course, Xie Pinggang did not dare to say it, he even looked obedient. “Then I won’t care about her. But Your Highness, you should at least scold her a little, right? Otherwise, she will be even more lawless in the future. This time, we were lucky that we came to look for her. If we didn’t, wouldn’t they be eaten by the wolves?”
Xie Qiao was very helpless.
However, when she thought about how she brought Yu Xian and Feng Yingying into danger this time, she really should not have.
So, she admitted her mistake obediently, “Eldest Brother, I won’t dare to do it again in the future.”
If there was such a thing next time, she would do it herself.
It would be impossible for her to stay at home and mind her own business for the rest of her life.
“What Minister Xie said is reasonable. If there’s something important in the future, get someone to send a message to me. When we are married, we will be husband and wife. There’s no need to be shy.” Zhao Xuanjing was not angry, “I know that you are worried about ghouls. If you don’t do anything, a disaster might fall on innocent people. However, you have to protect yourself first.”
Xie Qiao nodded and did not refute.
In fact, she had long been risking her life.
Catching ghouls and eliminating evil was not a safe thing. She had long been prepared for disaster to happen. To her, her own safety was not as important as catching ghouls. Over the years, she had gotten used to it.
If she did not catch ghouls, she would die early. It would be better to bravely send those ignorant ghouls away. It would also be a good deed and a blessing in her next life.
Moreover…
Other people were not like her. She had experienced the times where she would faint even if she took a breath.
After catching the ghouls, she could live like a normal human.
Xie Qiao was a little emotional inside. Then, she raised her head and smiled at Zhao Xuanjing. “Are you underestimating me? After all, Master Mo and I are from the same sect. If it wasn’t for the dark energy in the middle of the night, these… are nothing.”
“Your Highness, look, she’s still talking big!” Xie Pinggang was furious.
“I believe that these filthy things are just stirring the soil of G.o.d.” Zhao Xuanjing agreed. He did not even feel embarra.s.sed when he said these words. He was very serious.
Xie Qiao’s vanity was satisfied. “That’s right.”
Xie Pinggang shook his head.
The brilliant Crown Prince had become so blind when he met this foolish girl.
Could his sister have the potential to be an evil consort?
Zhao Xuanjing arranged for his subordinates to set up camp on the spot. If there were any wild beasts attacking, they would kill them on the spot and burn them for food tomorrow.
However, there were not many wild beasts in the forest. Most of them had been killed, and those that had not been killed had run away. Even though they were affected by the ghouls, they did not dare to come forward.
At this moment, seeing that the wild beasts were gone, the ghouls looked even more upet.
After the lamp was extinguished, they could hover around the crowd.
The sound of the wind was still very loud. The surrounding branches suddenly made cracking sounds, and many of them were broken. When the wind blew over, they were like dark arrows, extremely dangerous.
However, to the guards, it was not a big deal..
