"If you say one more useless word, I'll stuff a broken shoe in your mouth!" He glared, truly terrifying, with great potential to scare children, but she, Mu Xiaoxiao, is not a child!
Uh, better shut up. Hold it in! Mu Xiaoxiao, the most important thing now is to understand your situation! After warning herself internally, she looked around, seemingly in a cave, deep inside with no visible entrance. The left side had a row of torches, presumably lit by his thrown candle. The cave was very simple, with no bed, chair, sofa, food, drink, or mirror...
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at this tough-acting handsome guy, feeling deep sympathy - oh, the handsome guy has had it so hard...
"Why are you looking at me with that kind of gaze?"
The person, uncomfortable with Mu Xiaoxiao's strange look, moved away from her.
"Sweat, don't be sad, I'm not discriminating, I just think you're so pitiful!"
"I was following the emper... How am I pitiful? Don't forget, you're my prisoner now! Hmph, a small prisoner daring to say I'm pitiful in front of me? Hmph, you'd better not make a sound, or I'll kill you with one knife!"
Yellow? Emperor? What was he trying to say? Following the Yellow? Emperor? Empress? Empress Dowager? Mu Xiaoxiao vaguely felt she had caught something, but who, what purpose, why was she captured... these were all questions. However, Mu Xiaoxiao had learned to be smart this time - she would hide her questions, play dumb, and then slowly extract information when he let his guard down!
"Don't have any crooked ideas! Be careful or I'll crush your neck!"
"Hehe, how dare I trouble you to crush my neck? I don't have any crooked ideas. I was just wondering how someone as mighty and heroic as you lives in such a place. It's truly unbelievable. With your qualifications and martial arts, you could easily become a martial arts champion, or at least a top palace guard!"
Temptation by benefit or seduction?
His expression improved, a hint of pride in his eyes. Mu Xiaoxiao saw this and knew her flattery had worked. She went for the kill: "Actually, don't be discouraged. Gold will always shine. And, let me tell you a secret - we have connections in the palace. We're not alone in this struggle! Big brother, want to talk about fame and fortune?"
Joining your gang is fine, I can complete tasks. Although I’m a top talent in heaven and earth, I’m afraid this task is too simple and would be a waste of my talents. Besides, if I join the gang and steal everyone’s spotlight, it would seriously go against my motto – low-key in doing things, high-profile in being a person!”
