Chapter 725 - 725 He'll Be Angry

725 He’ll Be Angry

Black Crow waited in the hall for a long time.

It had been so long that she almost thought Xing Chen didn’t plan to see her when she saw him appear.

Xing Chen was wearing a black robe, and his short grayish-white curly hair looked a little messy. The ends of his hair were slightly curled, and his skin was as pale as ever. Little Huan sat on his shoulder, her calves swaying gently with his footsteps.

When she saw Black Crow, she smiled brightly.

However, Black Crow pretended not to see Little Huan greeting her and bowed to Xing Chen. “Master, Xue Ling has broken into the abyss.”

Hearing the name ‘Xue Ling’, Xing Chen subconsciously turned to look at Little Huan.

He saw that she was looking down and fiddling with the ends of his hair. She didn’t seem to care about Xue Ling at all.

She didn’t remember Xue Ling.

Xing Chen was slightly relieved. He placed Little Huan on the ground. “Go play. I’ll look for you later.”

“Mhm.”

Little Huan skipped away.

When she was far away, Xing Chen spoke again. “How did Xue Ling get in? Where is he? Tell me what happened in detail.”

“Alright.”

Black Crow quickly explained what had happened.

Xue Ling had sneaked into the abyss and did not attract much attention, but Xing Chen had long guessed that Xue Ling might come to the abyss, so he had a few subordinates patrol the vicinity of the entrance in advance.

As expected, Black Crow really discovered Xue Ling’s traces.

“He’s on his way here now. Do you need me to stop him?”

Xing Chen sneered. “You’re no match for him. I’ll deal with him myself.”

“Alright.”

After Black Crow left, Xing Chen turned around and walked to the backyard. However, as soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he saw a small figure running away in a hurry.

He stopped her. “Why are you running? I can see you.”

Little Huan stuck out half of her head from behind a rock and looked at him uneasily. “I didn’t mean to eavesdrop on you just now. Don’t be angry…”

Xing Chen walked over, picked her up from behind the rock, and placed her on his shoulder.

He tapped the tip of her nose with his finger. “I told you to play by yourself, but you came to eavesdrop on us. You’re getting bolder. I guess I’ll have to punish you.”

Little Huan quickly admitted her mistake. “I’m sorry. I won’t dare to eavesdrop again. Don’t punish me. I’m so afraid of pain.”

“Why are you afraid? I won’t hit you.”

“You won’t hit me?” Huanhuan was immediately happy. “Then how will you punish me?”

“I’ll punish you to stay at home from today onward. You’re not allowed to take a step out of the door.”

This punishment was neither painful nor ticklish. Xiao Huan agreed readily. “Sure, I promise I won’t go anywhere. I’ll stay by your side every day.”

She liked Xing Chen the most. As long as she could be by his side, she would be happy even if she had nothing to do.

But Xing Chen said, “I’m going out later. I might not be back until later.”

As soon as she heard this, Little Huan immediately grabbed his hair and asked anxiously, “Where are you going? Can you take me with you? I don’t want to be separated from you.”

She was always glued to him. She wished she could be with him every minute.

Xing Chen enjoyed her dependence, but there were more important things waiting for him to do. He couldn’t lose the opportunity for a longterm companionship just because he was greedy for a moment of warmth.

“I have to deal with something important. You can’t come with me. After I leave, you have to stay at home and wait for me to return.”

Little Huan was very disappointed, and her eyes were red. “Are you going to see Xue Ling? Is she prettier than me? Do you only like her and not me?”

Xing Chen was stunned by her question.

He laughed. “Xue Ling is a male beast. He’s my enemy. I hate him so much, so how can I like him? Don’t let your imagination run wild. You’ll always be the only one in my heart.”

Little Huan’s eyes immediately lit up again. “Really?”

“Yes, it’s true.”

Little Huan whispered into his ear, “But I still can’t bear to part with you…”

“I’ll be back immediately after I’m done. Just bear with it for a while, okay?”

Little Huan didn’t want to be a burden to Xing Chen. She couldn’t delay his business.

In the end, she could only swallow her reluctance and nod. “Alright, I’ll do whatever you say.”

Xing Chen stroked her head. “Good girl.”

Little Huan reluctantly sent him out the door.

Only when he was completely out of sight did Little Huan look away. She took heavy steps and slowly returned to the house.

Xing Chen was afraid that she would be lonely, so he specially left a few demon slaves to play with her before he left.

The demon slaves were all females. They were petite and exquisite. They tried to make Little Huan laugh, but Little Huan ignored them.

Her mind was filled with Xing Chen. She didn’t want to laugh or play with anyone else.

Little Huan sat alone beside the blood pool for a while, then returned to the entrance of the hall.

She took a small stool and sat on it. She rested her chin on her hands and looked at the door without blinking.

This way, as soon as Xing Chen returned, she could see him immediately.

The demon slaves surrounded her again.

They were usually very afraid of Xing Chen, but they could not suppress their innate admiration for strong demons. They all wanted to get close to Xing Chen and become his beloved pet.

It was fine when Xing Chen was alone in the past. In any case, no one could get him, so they had nothing to say.

But now, there was a small puppet beside Xing Chen.

She occupied the position beside Xing Chen and became the unique one.

The balance was broken, and everyone started to have thoughts.

The demon slaves touched Huanhuan’s braids, then her face. Someone even took the wreath off her head.

They smiled and said, “Your wreath is really beautiful. Why don’t you give it to us?”

“And this dress of yours is so beautiful. Can we borrow it?”

“How do you braid your hair? Help us braid it too.”

…

Huanhuan grabbed her dress tightly and said in fear, “Don’t touch me. Xing Chen doesn’t like others touching me. He’ll be angry.”

It would have been fine if Xing Chen wasn’t mentioned, but when Xing Chen’s name was mentioned, the demon slaves felt even more upset.

Why was she the only one who could call Xing Chen by his name while others could only crawl on the ground and call him ‘Master’?!

She was just a puppet!

Someone pushed Little Huan to the ground with a smile. “Why did you fall? You’re really careless.”

The other demon slaves were also smiling. No one went to help Little Huan.

Little Huan struggled to get up, but she couldn’t stop muttering, “Xing Chen will be angry. He’ll be angry…”

She looked so pitiful.

However, the demon slaves became even more indignant.

See, she was just a little doll who knew nothing.

Even if she was bullied, she would only say her master’s name. She would not be able to survive without her master. She did not even have the ability to protect herself.

What did Master like about her?!
