Chapter 1117: Chapter 1117 Great Fortune and Great Destiny

She sat up in bed, perked her ears, and focused her observation.

Outside, it also went silent, as if the other party was waiting for an opportunity.

A little while later.

A tiny hole appeared on the window, and a thin bamboo tube extended inside. Soon after, wisps of white smoke sprayed in...

Xuexue wasn’t foolish; she naturally understood what this was.

This uninvited guest had come in the dead of night and used such despicable means against her. Clearly, the smoke being blown in wasn’t Aphrodisiac or Bewitching Powder; it was certainly nothing good.

She immediately held her breath to prevent inhaling it into her body and falling victim to someone’s malicious scheme.

A little while later.

There was a faint sound of footsteps outside, steadily approaching the room.

It seems the other party assumed the drug had taken effect and had let down their guard.

"Crack crack!"

The door handle was fiddled with and opened from the outside.

"Creeeak...!"

Immediately following, the door was gently pushed ajar, and a slender figure slipped inside.

His aim was clear, and his pace did not pause for a moment as he headed straight for the nearby large bed...

Two large lanterns hung outside the door.

Dimly lit, the room’s interior was plainly revealed.

Who would have guessed, when he lifted the bed curtain to take a look, he’d discover the bed was empty.

"Where did that wretched girl go?"

A grating voice, shrill like that of a duck, broke the silence.

Just as he wanted to turn and search the area, a cold, chilling longsword pressed against his back.

"Who are you? Why have you come in the dead of night? State your purpose!" It turned out Xuexue had concealed herself until now, exploiting the man in black’s moment of distraction to swiftly emerge, her longsword now pressed against his back.

"Heh heh heh...! You wretched girl, you’ve grown some nerve! It’s been a few months, and you’ve become the legitimate daughter of the General’s Mansion. Impressive, indeed! Overnight, the sparrow turns into a phoenix!" The dwarf’s peculiar voice rang out.

Xuexue could never forget his voice till her dying day.

In her previous life, within that damp dungeon, she had been mercilessly tormented by him for days and nights.

"It’s you?"

Xuexue hadn’t expected that this ghost-like dwarf would find her so quickly.

The last time, while spotting him on the street, she already knew that sooner or later, the dwarf would come for her. She just hadn’t expected his actions to be so swift.

"Heh heh heh...! You wretched girl, you finally remember me." The dwarf let out an ear-piercing laugh, his words laced with a noticeable edge of gritted teeth.

Indeed, just months ago, it was Xuexue who had tormented him to the brink of death. If not for his Master’s pity, he might already be rotting in the streets by now.

Xuexue today was nothing like the easy target she had been months before.

"Weren’t your martial arts crippled? Who restored you?" Xuexue couldn’t help but feel curious about this.

In her previous life, she had never heard of anyone as unusual as him—a person whose severed tendons had actually been healed.

"Heh heh heh...! I’m blessed with a great destiny; I’m not so easy to kill. Wretched girl, it’s your turn to suffer this time!" As he spoke, his hand struck out with lightning speed, aiming for Xuexue.

Since his arrival, Xuexue had been wary of every move he made.

The dwarf’s palm was about to hit her when, suddenly, Xuexue vanished from her spot.

"Huh! Where did she go?"

His strike hit nothing but air, leaving the dwarf completely baffled.

Suddenly, a gust of force surged from behind...

The dwarf was startled and tumbled to the ground in a panic. Scrambling to his feet, he looked at Xuexue with disbelief and said, "You wretched girl, what kind of Kung Fu are you using? Where did you just disappear to?"

The ability to vanish and reappear out of thin air—it left the dwarf utterly shocked.
