The useless second daughter of the Hua family

Hua Miaomiao sat alone in a corner, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind. Xiuzhu was on the other side helping Liu Qinglian regulate her breathing to suppress the evil spirit that was flooding her body. The two of them were silent throughout the whole process, and they cooperated very well.

Yin Xuan looked at Hua Miaomiao with ill intention, thinking in his heart how to get away.

"I say, those two are already inseparable, why don't you make plans for yourself as soon as possible?"

Hua Miaomiao came back to her senses from her chaotic thoughts and asked him puzzledly: "What do you mean?"

Yin Xuan saw that she really didn't understand, so he had to make it clear to her. "If you let me go, I promise to get you out. After all, I am also the Ghost Emperor, the master of this area, so I naturally have a way to keep you safe."

"You're talking nonsense. I don't want to bother with you."

"Aren't you really afraid that the guy will destroy the bridge after crossing it and not care about your life or death?" Yin Xuan threatened.

Hua Miaomiao felt upset for a moment, but soon felt relieved. "He and I were strangers to each other, and we have no relatives or friends. He had no obligation to save me."

"Are you really not afraid of death? Are you really willing to do this?"

"Is there any causal relationship between being afraid or not and whether you live or die?"

"Of course, as long as you are willing..."

"I don't want to!" Hua Miaomiao didn't want to listen to him anymore. This man, no, this ghost was too good at bewitching people. Every word he said went straight into people's hearts.

"If I die here, you will be my scapegoat, and you won't be able to do anything to me."

Yin Xuan was so angry that he was speechless. She deserved it! She did it on purpose. If anyone makes her unhappy, then no one will be happy.

"Also, can you be quiet for a moment? I've never seen a ghost as noisy as you."

"You and I!"

"bother!"

"..."

Yin Xuan was so angry that his handsome face was distorted, but unfortunately Hua Miaomiao couldn't see it.

When Xiuzhu came over, he saw Hua Miaomiao sitting with her back to Yin Xuan with an unhappy look on her face, and wondered what the Ghost Emperor had said to offend her again.

"Miss Miaomiao, are you okay?"

"It's okay. How's Miss Liu?"

"Her condition is not good. Her energy is severely depleted. We need to get out as soon as possible."

"Then let's go quickly." After saying that, he was about to stand up, but was held down by Xiuzhu.

"Not yet. The Yin energy is too strong right now. I can't take both of you out with my ability."

Hua Miaomiao's breath hitched. As expected, was she going to be abandoned again?

Yin Xuan listened from the side and couldn't help but sneer. See, you've given up, right?

Xiuzhu didn't understand what was going on. He saw Hua Miaomiao's face turn pale for a moment and thought she was scared. After all, she was just a little girl, so he stroked her head and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, just wait until noon, when the yang energy is at its strongest, and then I can take you out. I promised you that I would bring you back safely."

"Okay." Hua Miaomiao felt a little guilty. So this was what he meant. He didn't intend to abandon her.

"Xiuzhu!" Liu Qinglian suddenly said, "I'm a little cold. Can you please help me get the bed quilt upstairs?"

"Okay." Xiuzhu responded without turning his head. He helped Hua Miaomiao sit down in a corner farthest from Yin Xuan, and told her: "No matter what Yin Xuan says, don't pay attention to him. I'll go upstairs and get you a cushion. We have to stay here for a while."

"Okay." Hua Miaomiao nodded obediently.

After Xiuzhu left, the few of them fell into silence.

Hua Miaomiao was not good at dealing with strangers, and Liu Qinglian had a lot of questions but didn't know where to start.

"Um...your name is Miaomiao, right?"

"Ah."

"How long have you known Xiuzhu?"

"A few hours."

"What?" Liu Qinglian couldn't believe it. In just a few hours, Xiuzhu was so concerned about this girl. Xiuzhu was always polite and distant in his dealings with others. Only as his student, she was lucky enough to see his occasional tenderness. She always thought she was the most special one, but she didn't expect Xiuzhu to be so considerate and caring.

"Yes, it hasn't been long since Xiuzhu walked in wearing a wedding gown and holding her hand."

Hua Miaomiao frowned slightly. Although Yin Xuan was telling the truth, why did it sound so strange to her?

She didn't see Liu Qinglian's livid face, but Yin Xuan saw it quite clearly.

Originally, he had not requested to marry, but those ignorant villagers had offered tribute voluntarily. He thought that the palace was big enough, and bringing in some beauties would also show his majesty as the Ghost Emperor, so he took them in. This woman was not originally the original bride candidate, and she did not cry or make a fuss when she was caught to take the blame, as if she was waiting for someone. Now he understood clearly, what a scene of the goddess having the intention, but the king of Xiang having no dream.

"I originally wanted to turn my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon only shines on the ditch. How sad and pitiful!" Yin Xuan said sarcastically.

Hua Miaomiao didn't understand what he was talking about, and didn't want to talk to Liu Qinglian any more, so she simply leaned against the wall behind her and took a nap.

Liu Qinglian looked at Hua Miaomiao with a complicated expression. She really didn't understand what was so special about this girl and why Xiuzhu looked at her differently. Was it because she was blind that Xiuzhu felt pity for her? Would this pity slowly turn into love and affection?

Xiuzhu had been unwilling to accept her before, so she made a bet with herself, and sure enough, Xiuzhu came to save her regardless of his own life. Doesn't this mean that Xiuzhu has her in his heart? But why did he delay going out for Hua Miaomiao when he clearly said that she was physically injured and needed to go out for treatment as soon as possible?

Yin Xuan looked at her changeable expression and had already guessed most of what she was thinking. This woman was full of petty thoughts and jealousy. She was really boring, but she could be used.

"No need to look anymore. I have already observed it for you. After you die, they will definitely live happily together."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Liu Qinglian said unhappily, "Xiuzhu won't do that. He promised to stay with me forever."

"But your life is short. Have you forgotten those women upstairs? You're going to die soon."

"Impossible, Xiuzhu said he would save me."

"He's just trying to comfort you. If he really had that ability, why would he let you wait here? As soon as you leave, you'll be wiped out."

Liu Qinglian glared at him fiercely, unwilling to believe what he said, but the group of dried female corpses upstairs made her doubt. Xiuzhu was just a mortal. Even if he had achieved great cultivation, could he really save the situation?

"In fact, he is sincere to you, so he has not wanted to tell you the truth until now, and he is willing to let that girl suffer a little more in order to spend as much time with you as possible. Think about it carefully, are you really willing to give him up to someone else?"

Unwilling to give up! Liu Qinglian clenched her fists and turned to look at Hua Miaomiao, her eyes full of hatred. She had been with this man for ten whole years, how could she be willing to give him up to someone else!
