Chapter 557: Chapter 378 Night dark and windy, old friend appears (one more update)_1

The man’s gaze was chilling Fen Xiao to the bone.

"Why?" Fen Xiao was puzzled and beyond devastated.

His eyes were detached and cold, looking at Fen Xiao indifferently. The corners of his mouth tipped in an icily sarcastic smile. "Do you think I owe you an explanation? Or rather..." His smile turned into a straight line, and his cold eyes lacked a shred of emotion or warmth. "Is it because I have pampered you too much recently that you’ve gleaned some misunderstanding?"

This was definitely not a good thing.

He had no place for anyone disobedient by his side, including Fen Xiao.

Although he did appreciate her abilities.

Fen Xiao shivered uncontrollably at his words, unconsciously stepping back in disbelief at the ruthless man before her.

Her lips twisted in bitter denial. "You should know, I didn’t mean that." She never dared to harbor too many hopes about him.

Fen Xiao knew this man had no mercy, but she had stood by his side for so many years. Even without love, she at least felt that she meant something different to him. Even if the difference was minuscule, it was enough to feed her delusions.

But today, she came to a gut-wrenching realization.

She wished she could remain blissfully ignorant, content to be a simple woman satisfied with his occasional, insincere smiles.

Why shatter all her hopes and dreams? Why? She was inconsolable.

All these changes were related to the young girl she had encountered today. Everything had changed after their leader met with her.

A bitter, icy smile danced on Fen Xiao’s lips. Perhaps if she vanished, their leader would return to his old self.

Fen Xiao vowed to herself that she would fulfill the leader’s wishes at any cost, as it was what he had always desired.

Fen Xiao had not harbored such deep resentment for Mu Lin before. Initially, she had merely wanted to gauge him, but now, she saw it was a life or death struggle between her and Mu Lin. She would not allow Mu Lin to disrupt their leader’s peace of mind.

From beginning to end, Fen Xiao never admitted to her jealousy towards Mu Lin. Instead, she viewed it as her way of protecting their leader, who she wished would remain as ruthless as ever despite yearning for his affection.

Female jealousy could indeed be the most frightening thing in the world because women were capable of going to any length for the men they loved.

The man gazed at Fen Xiao, not knowing what was going on in her mind. However, his eyes held a faint warning. "Fen Xiao, I hope this is the last time you go against my will, or...I won’t hesitate to act, even against you." If it weren’t for her abilities, he wouldn’t have kept her around for so long.

"I, Bi’an, do not allow any disobedient individual by my side. You should understand that."

Wu Qian casted worried glances at Fen Xiao from the side, but she was utterly taken aback when she heard the man refer to himself as Bi’an.

Bi’an!

This was what Poison Doctor had called their leader, and he had accepted it. Now, he even referred to himself as Bi’an.

Why? Was it true, as Fen Xiao had speculated, that their leader had developed other thoughts towards Poison Doctor?

Even Wu Qian found this hard to accept.

"I understand." Fen Xiao nodded, but that didn’t mean she would obey.

Fen Xiao looked at Bi’an deeply. No one knew what she was planning, but standing by her side, Wu Qian could clearly feel the ominous aura emanating from Fen Xiao. She had never seen Fen Xiao in such a state, sending chills down her spine.

Bi’an gave them a cold glance and turned away. "You may leave now."

He turned without a moment’s hesitation.

The slam of the door echoed, and the man turned back. His cold eyes briefly flicked over the traces of blood on the ground, a faint icy light flashing in their depths before they became impassive again.

There was no one more sensitive to the scent of blood than him.

Outside the room.

The corners of Fen Xiao’s lips turned upward in a cold, slightly crazed smirk.
