Chapter 1474: Chapter 1297: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Fortunately, nothing truly happened between her and Long Aixi, except for that one kiss during the fireworks display by Long Aixi, after which there was nothing between them.

"Dabao, what’s the matter with you?" Lu Jianxi saw Xia Dabao still clutching at his clothes. Could it be that his joke had gone too far?

She was merely testing, observing how inseparable Xia Dabao and her son had been these past days; she had thought the two children had grown fond of each other.

It seemed that she had indeed worried too much.

...

Yamen Dungeon.

After all, this was only a prison within a county town, not exactly heavily guarded, but rather, it could only be considered meticulous.

That night, two clerks stood motionless at the doorway, clutching knives, which deterred ordinary citizens from venturing too close.

However, Yun Xiao of the Chi Xia tribe was no ordinary citizen.

Covered by a hat adorned with a veil, he walked directly toward the clerks.

The two clerks hastily positioned their knives in front of him and demanded harshly, "Stop, what are you doing?"

Yun Xiao did not speak; with a wave of his hand, the clerk fainted. Then, he kicked open the grand doors of the dungeon.

There were some clerks who rushed forward inside, all of whom Yun Xiao dealt with swiftly.

Thus, Yun Xiao made his way straight into the dungeon and finally stopped in front of a cell where the Flower-Thief Bei Shan, upon seeing him, hurriedly ran toward Yun Xiao and with a laugh said, "I knew you would come, Brother Yun Xiao, quick, let me out!"

Only then did Yun Xiao lift his veil, revealing a face supremely handsome.

Not just ordinarily handsome, but exquisitely chiseled as if sculpted, seemingly much younger than Bei Shan, appearing to be only about eighteen or nineteen years old.

He looked at Bei Shan inside, sighed first, and then shook his head, his voice quite pleasing though his tone was steeped in disdain, "Look at you, you pathetic wretch. Where are those lecherous insects you nurtured over forty-nine days of absorbing yin? At this critical moment, why don’t they come save you?"

"What lecherous insects? Those were nurtured by the nourishment of love, capable of rescuing from dire peril – the invincible Love Gu!" retorted Bei Shan, not conceding.

Yun Xiao sneered, then said, "Fine, let your Love Gu come and save you, and while it’s at it, cure those bruises on your face too. I’m leaving!"

With that, he turned to leave. Bei Shan immediately panicked and rushed to the cell door, "Brother Yun Xiao, please, don’t abandon me, all my Love Gu... they’re all dead."

Yun Xiao then paused, turned around, and seemed somewhat shocked, "All dead? You couldn’t hide those insects properly, in your trousers where no one would find them?"

Bei Shan, on the verge of tears, pleaded, "Ah, it’s a long story, can you just get me out of here first?"

Yun Xiao, looking at Bei Shan’s state, first glared at him, then pulled out an odd insect which crawled around the lock twice and immediately, the lock snapped off with a "clack."

...

In an Inn room within the town, Bei Shan heartily devoured chicken leg rice in front of him, having seemingly gone without food for several days.

Yun Xiao sat there calmly throughout, not forgetting to utter a sarcastic remark, "Isn’t the Dragon Tooth Gang claimed to be the greatest gang in the Central Plains? Did they not feed you, or what? Look at you, famished like a bird."

"The gang be damned!" Bei Shan got angry talking about it, "Petty and vindictive, utterly lacking in the magnanimity of a great gang."
