Chapter 667: Chapter 657: How Did She Suddenly Become a Frail Beauty?

No matter what the two people thought, they quickly started dividing the work.

One went to prepare a night snack, the other to set up a bedroom for the guest.

What to do if there isn’t a bedroom with two beds? Simple, just move the bed from another bedroom next door.

It’s just a bit labor-intensive.

The night snack was quickly prepared.

And it was a night snack with Hua State specialties: four bowls of wonton noodles, several small side dishes, and even fruit plates and desserts were not missing.

Just as it was placed on the table, there was a sound outside the door, followed by Changning’s excited voice, "You even prepared dinner for me!"

But upon entering, she saw Shen Yunqing sitting in a wheelchair and the increasingly glaring marks on Jiang Lingxi’s hands. Her happy expression vanished instantly, "Sir, Sister Xi, what happened to you..."

"It’s nothing serious, have a seat first." Jiang Lingxi pulled out a chair for her, "Where’s Yin Chong?"

"Dumped at the door. Someone’s keeping an eye on him. He can’t move and is tied up anyway. Oh right, where’s my master?"

"Taking care of things. Just in time, call him over for something to eat."

Changning took out her phone and dialed, her eyes unable to stop wandering over the two in front of her.

Jiang Lingxi said, "Let’s wait for Wu Jue to arrive before talking."

"Oh."

Just then, the call connected, "Master, Sister Xi asks you to come over for something to eat."

"You guys eat first, I’ll be there shortly."

Changning hung up the call and relayed, "Master said we should eat first. He’ll come over shortly."

"Okay, let’s eat."

Jiang Lingxi placed a bowl of wonton noodles in front of her and then looked at Shen Yunqing seated beside her, "Can you eat? Eat as much as you can. If you really can’t, don’t force it."

"Okay."

Changning slurped some noodles, looked up at the two of them across from her, her eyes spinning, and blinked wide-eyed as if discovering a new world, "Sir, your face, how did it get cut?"

Shen Yunqing really didn’t know his face was cut, after all, he hadn’t looked in the mirror since waking up, and his headache was so severe he hadn’t felt much pain on his face.

Upon hearing this, he instinctively reached for his face.

"Don’t touch!" Jiang Lingxi quickly stopped him, then glared at Changning, "It must’ve been cut by glass, the wound isn’t big or deep, and it’s already scabbed over. What if you touch it and break it open again?"

Only then did Shen Yunqing obediently lower his hand.

Changning shrank back, saying nothing more, focusing on her own food.

When Wu Jue, led by people from the manor, arrived, Shen Yunqing was about to set down his chopsticks.

Turning his head, he saw Wu Jue’s bald head glimmering under the light, "Is the room sorted out?"

"Almost. Which way is the restroom, I need to wash my hands."

Jiang Lingxi pointed in the direction.

She glanced at the half-eaten bowl of wonton noodles in front of Shen Yunqing, "Not eating anymore?"

Shen Yunqing moved his lips, "I can’t eat anymore."

Changning was itching to say something again, barely holding back, as if something was scratching at her heart.

How did sir get like this in just an hour, becoming a sickly beauty?

A tiny appetite like a bird!

Jiang Lingxi put down her chopsticks, "Should I take you back to your room to rest first?"

"No need, you continue eating. I’ll just sit for a while."

Finally, when her master came out after washing his hands, Changning handed over chopsticks eagerly and quickly asked, "Master, what big event happened on your side?"

"We didn’t anticipate that Guan Yuan would be controlled by Wu Hua, and at a critical moment, he and Yunqing struggled over the steering wheel, causing a car accident on the street."

Changning’s eyes widened instantly.

"Guan, Guan Yuan? Damn, I..."

"Wu Hua also used Gu Qiantong to transfer Yunqing to Aibosi Manor. That’s when we realized her target was actually Yunqing, so we rushed over here. Thankfully, we were on time, and Wu Hua hadn’t made her move before she was... killed!"

Changning’s little heart kept fluttering with the story, finally letting out a heavy breath and relaxing, "Wow, I didn’t expect things on your side to be so thrilling."

Compared to that, her little crisis wasn’t even a crisis.

"Why did Wu Hua set her sights on sir again? Wasn’t she always targeting Sister Xi and even declared war on her before?"

Jiang Lingxi said, "That’s why we were fooled this time."

Wu Jue glanced at Shen Yunqing sitting quietly in the wheelchair. Although Wu Hua didn’t reveal why she changed her target until the end, he already guessed.

It’s simple, when lacking strength, pick the softer ones to squeeze.

Compared to the fortunate Your Majesty, Shen Yunqing, who had endured the backlash of a Forbidden Technique, was naturally easier to deal with for her now.

"Then, sir..." she pointed at her own head, "Did he hit his head?"

Shen Yunqing nodded at her.

Changning immediately lowered her voice, "Then he definitely needs a good rest."

"What about Sister Xi’s hand?"

"Splattered with Wu Hua’s blood."

Being somewhat of a Mage herself, Changning sharply inhaled, "She’s so poisonous!"

Speaking of which, Wu Jue felt like sighing, "There are no usable Buddha Beads now, and you must already be feeling discomfort in your hand."

Jiang Lingxi nodded. She could still hold chopsticks thanks to her strong control over her body, but she could also feel her hands growing colder, soon unable to hold even chopsticks.

"But under such circumstances, only you can alleviate it yourself. Just wear warm gloves frequently, soak your hands in hot water, and exposure to sunlight is important. The pure Yang energy of heaven and earth is the nemesis of all evil and dead energy. Once we return to the country, I’ll give you a new set of Buddha Beads, and don’t take them off if you can help it."

"When can I touch him?" Jiang Lingxi asked, glancing at Shen Yunqing, and bringing his half-eaten bowl of wonton noodles to herself, "Being a guest at someone else’s place, it’s better not to waste food."

Another reason was that she wasn’t full yet.

Shen Yunqing: "..."

Wu Jue cleared his throat, "After you put on the Buddha Beads."

Jiang Lingxi: "...Impulse!"

How could she have pulled that Buddha Beads apart back then!

With the person right beside her, she couldn’t touch him, which saddened her too much!

But barely a few seconds of regret passed before her phone rang.

When she saw who was calling, she felt a bit dazed.

Actually, only about an hour had passed since the banquet incident, but so much had happened during that time that it felt much longer.

Seeing Tong Yue’s call brought her back to reality.

Not having responded for so long or sent a message, they must be calling to prompt her.

Reaching for the phone, she almost couldn’t pick it up, so she simply slid with a finger to answer and activated the speaker, "Sister Tong."

"You little girl, trying to scare me to death? Now you answer the phone, I should’ve gone with you. I saw online that there was an incident at the banquet, and many people left directly, but it wasn’t detailed. Are you and Mr. Shen alright? If everyone else has left, why not you? When can you come back?"

"Sister Tong, Yunqing and I are alright, but we can’t go back today. We’re currently guests at Aibosi Manor. You should rest early, don’t stay up waiting for us."

"Where? You’re not lying to me, are you?"

"Tomorrow morning, pack your things and I’ll have someone from here fetch you."

She didn’t even have a change of clothes, so she’d have to have Tong Yue bring them over.

Tong Yue, in a daze, hung up the phone, turned to the few little curious heads listening intently, and said dreamily, "Xiao Xi said she and Mr. Shen are guests at Aibosi Manor, and someone will come to take us to the manor tomorrow."

As the words fell, several others also became dazed.
