Chapter 197: White Snake

"How could you..."

Luo Zijun was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but say: "How could you be so despicable?"

This is just too despicable!

A "snicker" suddenly came from the inner room, which then immediately stopped.

Luo Zijun asked: "Why?"

Bai Daxiaojie said: "Because Qingtong said that since you are well-known to us, and your sister and brother-in-law are also in the Bai Mansion, you are the most honest and won't go out and talk nonsense."

The corner of Luo Zijun's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "As expected, it's still because I'm an honest man. Are honest men really this easy to bully?"

Bai Meixue said: "You are not an honest man, but at least you are safer than people outside the mansion."

Luo Zijun couldn't help but ask: "When did you start plotting against me?"

Bai Meixue did not answer.

Luo Zijun said: "It seems this is the Third Miss's scheme. After all, only a girl as ice-snow clever as the Third Miss could come up with such a scheme."

Bai Meixue still ignored him.

Luo Zijun didn't speak again either, carefully thinking in his mind about this marriage where both parties harbored their own intentions.

The room was quiet for a while.

Bai Meixue then spoke again: "I know that you must have other motives for marrying me. Once your goal is achieved, you will find a way to make me divorce you, and then you will go marry that Liu, right?"

Luo Zijun neither denied nor admitted it.

Bai Meixue said calmly: "Rest assured, in one year, after this matter has completely subsided, I will divorce you and return your freedom."

Luo Zijun's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Bai Meixue looked at him and said: "Fake. You are so happy, I just won't let you have your way."

Luo Zijun: "..."

"Eldest Miss, actually, I am the one who is happiest to be married to you."

"Hypocritical."

Bai Meixue didn't pay any more attention to him.

At this moment, the voice of a wet nurse suddenly came from outside the door: "It's freezing cold, why are you little maids all standing at the door? Isn't there an outer room inside? According to the rules, you should all go inside and keep watch. In case the Young Master and the Miss need you, it will be easier to serve them immediately."

Bai Meixue immediately said: "Go into the bridal chamber."

Luo Zijun hurriedly entered the inner room and closed the wall.

Fenfen, who was sitting on the bed, hurriedly hugged the quilt, huddled in the corner, her little face red, biting her lip, head lowered, and said shyly: "Young Master..."

"Was it you laughing at me inside just now?"

Luo Zijun asked with a cold face.

Fenfen buried her head: "No... it wasn't me..."

"Hmph! You still dare to quibble! Fenfen, you have deceived this Young Master so bitterly. Tonight, this Young Master will make you pay blood for blood and howl in repentance!"

Having said that, he pounced like a hungry wolf, letting out an "Awoo" sound as he lunged.

"Ah..."

The red candles on the table flickered with a "whoosh."

The curtains on the bed also suddenly shook incessantly.

"Young Master, spare my life..."

Fenfen hurriedly begged for mercy.

Luo Zijun would not show any tenderness toward the fairer sex; he pressed her onto the bed, waved his fists, and landed a few "thump, thump" blows on her head, causing her to kick her little feet wildly and beg for mercy sorrowfully.

The sounds from inside naturally reached the outside.

Bai Bai and the others, who were guarding outside the door, could not only hear the sorrowful pleas for mercy from inside but also the creaking of the wooden bed.

The few of them looked at each other, all blushing.

Inside the room, after Luo Zijun beat the little maid beneath him with a flurry of punches, he started hitting her bottom.

"Smack! Smack! Smack!"

The few people outside blushed even more.

Several wet nurses who had come to check on the situation also looked at each other, nodded with satisfaction, and then dispersed one after another.

"Young Master, lighter, it hurts so much..." Fenfen begged for mercy with tears streaming down her face from the beating.

Luo Zijun whispered: "Louder, let the spy hear."

Fenfen had no choice but to cry out again.

After another while, the room finally quieted down.

Outside the room, Bai Bai whispered: "Did Brother Zijun finish so quickly?"

The gazes of the few suddenly all turned toward Xiaohuan.

Xiaohuan immediately blushed and said: "My Young Master... is not ill..."

The few: "..."

Outside, the north wind wailed, and snowflakes drifted down.

They were all getting too cold to bear it, and Ziyuan said: "Let's go, let's go to the room next door, no need to guard here."

!

Just as the words fell, a scream suddenly came from the room again.

Then, that voice with a sobbing tone sounded once more: "Wuwu, Young Master, this time it really hurts..."

The few looked at each other and entered the small room next door.

The room was pitch black, and as soon as they entered, they felt a warmth envelop them, dispelling the cold on their bodies.

Bai Bai sat for a while, listening to the sounds inside, and couldn't help but say, "I'd better go stay in Miss's room; what if Miss needs me?"

Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Go on, go on, look how anxious you are."

Bai Bai was not shy, immediately went out the door, walked over and gently pushed the room door open, then locked it, and said softly in the outer room, "Miss, Bai Bai is here."

Bai Meixue said from the bed, "Sleep."

Bai Bai let out an "oh," lay down on the bed, opened her big eyes in the darkness, and while listening, waited eagerly.

This wait lasted the entire night.

"Whoosh—"

That night, outside the house, wind and snow raged, and the cold was bone-piercing.

Heavy snow buried many houses.

Many poor families shivered with cold, unable to sleep all night.

Yet in the inner secret chamber where Luo Zijun stayed, although it was cramped, it was thick with warmth, possessing a kind of homey warmth and happiness.

The heating stove emitted heat, keeping the entire cramped room warm for the whole night.

So what if one eats soft rice?

It is still better than freezing to death in the night during this freezing, icy weather, right?

Inside the bridal chamber.

Bai Meixue lay on the bed, motionless.

A white shadow stood on the roof for a long time, then, facing the wind and snow, suddenly flew into the night sky to practice Soul Refining in the bitter wind and snow.

This night.

In the deepest part of Cangyun Mountain, a giant python suddenly appeared.

It slithered across a swamp, suddenly dove into a mountain stream with murmuring water, and then water splashed everywhere with a loud "Boom—" sound.

The intense sounds of fighting lasted for a long time before the giant python swam out of the mountain stream covered in blood, rested for a moment in the wind and snow, and then suddenly, with a flash of light, transformed into a young girl wearing a white dress, with a graceful figure and a beautiful face.

The wind and snow stirred her jet-black long hair and the snow-white dress on her body.

Her eyes flickered with a scarlet light, and in the center of her brow was a scarlet diamond-shaped mark, as if it were a third eye.

She gazed coldly in the direction of Lin'an City for a long time, and murmured to herself, "You should have finished repaying your debt of gratitude by now, right? Without you, I have never been able to break through this barrier. It is time for you to return, for us to become one and merge together."

"What is so good about the Human Realm? What is so good about humans?"

"Is it worth you lingering for so many years?"

"Becoming an immortal and eternal life are the things we should pursue..."

Her figure gradually faded, and soon she disappeared into the wind and snow.
