Chapter 63: Bai Qingxia's Domineering Protection of Her Cub

"Ruyan, little sister,"

Ye Xiuxiu's mouth corners slightly lifted,

revealing a seemingly innocent and pure smile, she said:

"Your words really come across as too distant."

"Although we aren't blood sisters, our bond is even stronger than that of real sisters."

Having said that, she paused slightly,

her gaze locked directly onto Ye Ruyan,

as if trying to see through the other's true intentions deep inside.

Just then,

Bai Qingxia, who had been standing at the side, shuddered violently.

Because just a short while ago,

she had repeatedly warned Ye Xiuxiu,

"Absolutely must not leak even a word of that matter!"

Bai Qingxia, anxious as fire, shouted:

"Xiuxiu!"

Ye Xiuxiu merely gave a hehe laugh,

responding nonchalantly:

"Mom, don't worry, what's the big deal?"

"Could Ruyan younger sister possibly harm me?"

Immediately after, she mischievously winked at Bai Qingxia,

as if hinting at something.

Seeing this, Bai Qingxia's heart still held a hint of doubt,

but thinking perhaps Xiuxiu had her own ideas,

she decided to temporarily follow her arrangements.

Moreover, no matter what,

in the future she will certainly be doubly careful,

protecting Xiuxiu completely is of utmost importance.

When Ye Xiuxiu spoke these words,

Ye Ruyan's face instantly burst with a mixture of surprise and joy,

her body involuntarily trembled slightly,

she widened her eyes and eagerly asked: "Really?"

Her voice was full of disbelief and excitement.

Ye Xiuxiu nodded without hesitation,

responding firmly:

"That is naturally a definite fact!"

"Do you think I, your older sister, would still deceive you?"

Immediately after, she seemed afraid that Ye Ruyan wouldn't believe her,

quickly added:

"I will now tell you the truth."

"Actually, I happened to discover a miraculous life-saving magic treasure at the bottom of Jinhua Spring."

"This magic treasure has already recognized me as its master,"

"but I hadn't previously spoken of it,"

Ye Xiuxiu paused slightly, took a deep breath, then continued describing:

"Whenever I face a deadly attack, that magic treasure will automatically activate as if it were sentient."

"It can transform into my likeness, taking all the damage in my place."

"Moreover, it can safely send me out of danger at critical moments!"

Liu Yuesong couldn't help but ask,

"So this magic treasure is a one-time use?"

Ye Xiuxiu shook her head,

"I don't know how many times it can be used,"

"but after a day passes, the originally shattered magic treasure will recondense into form again,"

Bai Qingxia, standing at the side listening silently,

although outwardly she maintained a calm, expressionless demeanor,

but inside her heart, turmoil had already surged.

She secretly thought:

"This girl is spouting nonsense, just talking out of her ass! How could there exist such an absurdly powerful life-saving magic treasure in the world?"

"Actually, this is just Ye Xiuxiu randomly making it up,"

"merely wanting to fabricate a lie to intimidate Ye Ruyan,"

"so that she wouldn't later develop malicious intentions or seize an opportunity to attack her."

"After all, as the saying goes,"

Not afraid of thieves stealing, just afraid of thieves taking a liking to you!

Ye Xiuxiu knows full well that her physique, though quite strong,

But people always have a moment of one oversight amidst many precautions.

In all matters, it's still best to be extra careful and cautious.

I just don't know whether Ye Ruyan believes it.

Ye Ruyan's beautiful eyes stared wide open.

Her eyeballs seemed as if they might fall out of their sockets.

What showed was an expression of disbelief so rich it was beyond belief.

Although Ye Xiuxiu's words were outrageous, deep down she firmly believed it.

Simply because in her previous life, there truly existed such a mouth-watering rare treasure.

And it happened to fall into Ye Xiuxiu's bag.

Never would I have imagined that in this life, this treasure would be obtained by Ye Xiuxiu so quickly!

Ye Xiuxiu's life-saving methods are also perhaps too powerful!

What on earth does Ye Xiuxiu rely on!

All those fortunate coincidences seem to swirl around Ye Xiuxiu like stars surrounding the moon.

And yet I have put in so much hard work.

In the end, I still cannot be compared to Ye Xiuxiu.

I can only be the runner-up.

In my previous life, I at least enjoyed glory for over sixty years, but now?

I have been reborn, yet the result is even worse than not being reborn.

Starting from scratch, I am subjected to repression!

"Xiuxiu ah, I really should congratulate you properly."

Ye Ruyan's mouth corner twitched slightly.

She forced out a stiff smile with all her might.

Her voice sounded somewhat trembling.

"Fortunately we have this infinitely powerful magic treasure protecting us,"

"Otherwise I'm afraid I'd become the eternal sinner of the entire Ye family."

Liu Yuesong felt that Ye Ruyan's situation was somewhat off.

He hurriedly took over the conversation.

All that could be seen was a brilliant smile likewise on his face:

"Elder sister, please don't keep wearing a worried frown."

"Now that Xiuxiu is safe and sound, we all ought to feel happy about this."

Immediately afterward, the several other people around also chimed in one after another, speaking in a cacophony:

"That's right, this absolutely counts as a major happy event."

"We should definitely celebrate."

Only Bai Qingxia stood off to the side,

Suddenly she let out a disdainful cold laugh: "Hmph, could it be that you all think this way?"

Several people in unison said,

"Elder sister, that's right, we all think this way,"

Bai Qingxia's tone suddenly rose extremely high,

Like a thunderbolt splitting the sky:

"Happy?"

"Happy about what?"

"Could it be that you're happy that Xiuxiu almost got killed?"

In an instant, the previously noisy scene fell deathly silent.

Those present all stared at each other,

exchanging looks of doubt and fear,

as if momentarily losing the ability to speak,

completely unaware of how to respond to this sudden question.

"Elder sister..."

Liu Yuesong tried to break this suffocating silence,

wanting to explain a few sentences to ease the tense atmosphere.

However, he had just uttered two words,

when he met Bai Qingxia's sharp, knife-like gaze.

Just that one glance,

Liu Yuesong felt as if his throat were being choked,

the words he wanted to say afterward were all swallowed back hard.

His mouth shut tight, and he dared not make a sound.

At this moment, Bai Qingxia had already pulled Ye Xiuxiu to her side,

Then using a seemingly calm,

In fact, her gaze, brimming with endless overwhelming pressure, slowly swept over the surroundings. Her voice was as calm as water, without a trace of ripple,

But the deterrent power it exuded was enough to make everyone's heart tremble with fear:

I'll lay my words out here today: if Xiuxiu encounters even the slightest problem,

No matter who the hidden mastermind is, and regardless of whether I can successfully find the true culprit,

But you...

Her voice paused for a moment,

Everyone will be held accountable,

No one will get off easy.
