Chapter 1017: Chapter 1017: Always Loving to Bully Him

The moon rises above the willow tops.

The early winter night is bitterly cold.

At this moment, Changan Street is deserted, with trees lining both sides shaking in the wind, their leaves scattering and fluttering to the ground.

After the day’s bustle, the street now seems exceedingly desolate.

Besides the rustling sound of leaves in the wind, silence reigns everywhere.

Suddenly, on the eaves lining the street, a shadow appears, leaping and bounding non-stop, moving with the speed of lightning. In the blink of an eye, the figure switches several positions, making those with less sharp vision think they’re seeing things!

The shadow soon vanishes near the General’s Mansion.

General’s Mansion.

Xuexue lies in bed, fully clothed, closing her eyes and preparing to sleep.

Suddenly, a light creaking noise comes from the roof, very faint, yet Xuexue becomes alerted, sits up quietly from the bed, and looks to see what’s going on.

A shadow flashes outside the window, and a dark figure drifts in.

"Who’s there?"

Xuexue grabs a dagger from beside her pillow and holds it in front of her head.

This person has come late at night with unknown intentions, fearing it could be an assassin sent by Auntie Tang and Situtu Qinger.

"Xuexue, it’s me." The voice is both unfamiliar and familiar.

Xuexue hesitates for a moment and ventures a guess, "Big Bull?"

"It’s me."

The moon is bright tonight, and because Zi Xia hung two lanterns outside to prevent the Eldest Legitimate Daughter from getting up in the middle of the night, their light spills through the gaps.

The light from the lanterns and the moon stream in through the cracks, making the items in the room visible.

Under the dim light, Xuexue takes a focused look...

The man before her is dressed in a narrow-sleeved black python robe with gold-threaded auspicious clouds embroidered on the cuffs, and a red and white jade belt around his waist, from which dangles an exquisite jade pendant. His demeanor is elegant and his presence commanding—it is indeed Big Bull, unseen for several months.

"Where have you been these days?" Xuexue can’t help but step forward and scrutinize him closely.

She had suspected Big Bull must come from a wealthy family, and seeing his attire now confirms her guess.

"I had some business to attend to at home, didn’t I leave you a letter?"

Xuexue then recalls, indeed Big Bull had left her a letter before his departure.

"How did you know I was here?"

Big Bull smiles, "Who in Moli Country doesn’t know that the Great General Situ has found the Eldest Legitimate Daughter from the Mo Family Village."

"Oh!"

Xuexue nods, nearly forgetting that fact.

Space.

Xiao Taohong and Little Tiger look anxious.

Previously, with her low cultivation, Xiao Taohong couldn’t discern whether Big Liu and War Prince were the same person.

Over these days, her cultivation made a great leap forward, and she quickly sensed something was amiss.

"Little Tiger, do you think this person looks like the War Prince?"

Little Tiger glares at her, saying peevishly, "You know full well I’m still recovering from my injury, are you mocking me?"

To think that it, the Divine Tiger, has fallen to such a state, it is indeed humiliating.

"The master is in danger, who has the time to mock you?"

"What danger? Are you blind? They are in the midst of a romantic encounter! Really..." Although the Tiger’s cultivation has declined, it still has its worldliness, unlike Xiao Taohong, who was harmed by Old Money Mo at a young age and is completely clueless about matters of love.

"But this man, he’s not honest."

"What does a little ghost like you understand? Sometimes a well-intentioned lie is also love."

"Lies are love? You’re fooling a ghost." Xiao Taohong looks incredulous, questioning how deceit can have any part in love?

"You’re already a ghost, why would I need to fool you?"

"You... you..."

"What ’you’?" Little Tiger has a look that’s asking for a beating.

"If it weren’t for the master being in trouble, I wouldn’t bother with you!" Xiao Taohong is furious; why does this Little Tiger always love to bully her?
