Genius Demon Empress - Chapter 35

Chapter 35 - The Cheap Mule Rolls

Translated by Luxican

At the entrance to the valley where the Profound Pearl Imperial Academy was located, there were many carriages waiting to pick up their respective young master.

Yue Jing Hua and Sha Man didn't have a horse-drawn carriage waiting for them.

On the forefront of the valley pass, a carriage covered with gold and four snow white stood. A flag swayed in the wind on top of the carriage, embroidered with a very striking "Xia".

Next to the carriage stood Lie SI Si, she was wearing a delicate dress like a soft white lily, her skin was slightly red under the sun, her mouth was smiling, and she stood with Fa Xiao Yi who had a cold expression on his face.

Fa Xiao Yi's gaze slightly paused and he whispered something into Lie Si Si's ear.

Lie Si SI raised her eyebrows displeased, but soon recovered her innocent appearance. She turned and looked at the direction of Yue Jing Hua, and asked softly, " Sister Jing Hua, what a coincidence. The prince wanted to send me back to the Lie Estate, why won't you join us?" Fa Xiao Yi at the side listened, and did not refute or export her statement, but leaned against the carriage with a cool face without any fluctuation.

To his disappointment, Yue Jing Hua was also indifferent.

On the day, Lie Si Si was injured in the Profound Technique Pavilion, Fa Xiao Yi had visited her many times, and even brought a doctor to give her the best treatment. In the past few days, their relationship had advanced rapidly.

When Lie Si Si spoke, she was like a shy maiden, and her white clothes fluttered in the wind, she was like a beauty walking directly out of a painting.

It was really a small world, she met that damn Yue Jing Hua everywhere.

The failure of the Profound Technique Pavilion had made Lie Si Si extremely angry, but the disaster had brought even more disaster.

Her eyes had been stabbed by the sharp stone fragments. Even after treatment, she was still not fully cured. She could only find Fa Xiao Yi, to restore some vision.

The carriage was a special carriage of the Prince Estate, who had come to pick up Fa Xiao Yi.

With Fa Xiao Yi's temperament, he would not let a beautiful lady wait for a carriage alone, so, he invited Lie Si Si to travel together.

The two stood together. They were really cool and charming, very eye-catching.

In the eyes of outsiders, Fa Xiao Yi and Lie Si Si, both in family background and appearance, were a match made in heaven, a lot more than Yue Jing Hua, the original fiancée of Fa Xiao Yi.

There were many carriages, and the passengers opened the curtains and wanting to enjoy the spectacle.

Through Lie Si Si's words, everyone understood that Fa Xiao Yi didn't come to pick up his fiancée, but was very attentive to Lie Si Si. Tomorrow the rumor would have spread everywhere in Po Lou City.

Yue Jing Hua sneered in her heart, what a pair of pretentious people, but she said: " Thank you sister for your kindness, but I will have to decline. My mother has educated me since childhood, of the differences between men and women. If I boarded that carriage, I'm afraid it wouldn't be good for my reputation."

Lie Si Si's mother had died earlier, from Yue Jing Hua's words it seemed like Lie Si Si hadn't been educated properly.

It even meant that Lie Si Si had been the one to not care about Shang Kingdom's etiquette. She was an unmarried woman. Although she fancied Fa Xiao Yi, she shouldn't sit with him in the carriage without attendant.

The situation changed abruptly, and the people who had previously looked forward to Yue Jing Hua's humiliation now looked at Lie Si Si.

Seemingly embarrassed by Lie SI SI, Fa Xiao Yi opened his mouth, "It had been this prince who hadn't considered this and asked Miss Si SI to join him. Since it's inconvenient for men and women to share a carriage, then this prince asks Yue Jing Hua to escort Lie Si Si back. Her eyes haven't completely healed yet, and she can only vaguely see some silhouettes, this prince was afraid that she would meet some inconveniences on the way." Fa Xiao Yi still had a cool look on his face, but the look of Yue Jing Hua's eyes made him a bit thoughtful.

"That's natural, she is my dear cousin," Yue Jing Hua stepped forward, held out her hand, and supported Lie Si Si who looked so weak, the wind could blow her away.

"Then Sister Jing Hua please help me into the carriage," there was gratefulness in Lie Si SI's voice, as Yue Jing Hua held her hand, one of her feet had already stepped into the carriage.

She saw an opportunity, to get revenge at Yue Jing Hua. Just as Lie Si Si was about to climb into the carriage, her knees softened suddenly, and she made a sharp cry: "Sister Jing Hua, why did you push me?"

Lie Si Si was truly a born actress. When she exclaimed, her body fell, and she was about to roll off the carriage.

It was a pity that old ginger was still spicier. When a simple actor met the Oscar-level Yue Jing Hua, they became empty talk.

Just as Lie Si Si opened her mouth, Fa Xiao Yi, who hadn't walked far yet, stepped forward quickly, trying to support Lie Si Si.

Dust flew up. The white horses raised their hoofs, and blocked Fa Xiao Yi.

Lie Si Si didn't stand still, and accidentally really rolled down.

At this moment, the fairy who couldn't be bothered by mundane matters, became a mule covered in dirt, and couldn't stop screaming.

Bright red lips raised into a slight smile, before Yue Jing Hua cried in a frightened voice, " Sister, are you okay? I was so surprised, I saw that the horses were frightened, and wanted to protect my back."

Fa Xiao Yi, had already calmed the frightened horses," Prepare a carriage to send the ladies back."

***

After the few people had left, Fa Xiao Yi walked towards the white horses to see if there were any injuries on their bodies.

The Changeless Snow Horse didn't have any wounds on its body. Even after a while he couldn't find anything strange.

Fa Xiao Yi's eyes darkened. Changeless Snow Horses were very tame mysterious beasts. They would never be frightened for no reason.

Fa Xiao Yi frowned, nobody could guess what he was thinking.

"Thank you, Jing Hua Cousin, for taking care of me all the way," Lie Si Si smiled reluctantly, and was brought away by maidservants.

After entering the inner part of the Jin Mei Yuan Courtyard, Lie Si Si's face changed from sunny to overcast.

"Go away," Lie Si Si snorted, her finger joints were white from clenching her fist, and blood oozed out of her injured eyes. She slapped her maid away. The maid screamed and hit the wall, while vomiting blood.

"Miss, you're hurt, please don't move," Lie Si Si's maid Lian Bi came up and handed her a bottle mediation pills.

Lie Si Si was furious, the waste with no brain and an ugly appearance had actually humiliated her.

Although she had been anxious, and wished for nothing more than to swallow Yue Jing Hua whole, she had restrained herself, held her breath and forced her wrath down.

She took a few meditation pills, her expression calmed down quite a bit. At this moment Lian Bi said cautiously, " Miss, this servant feels that there was something wrong with the waste this time."

"Yes, and I wish she would just have been removed for good that time in Hundred Beast Mountain, when I hired someone," Lie Si Si pulled of the gauze in front of her eyes and flung it aside.

Lian Bi was shocked in her heart, lowered her head and dared not look directly at Lie Si Si. She secretly thought, not only Miss Yue, but also the lady, she had served for more than ten years, has changed.

The original Lie Si Si was soft and weak, was often sick, and rarely interfered in the matters of the Lie Family.

But in the past few years, the young lady's temperament had changed a lot, and she didn't even care for the life and death of other people. One of her maidservants had just been beaten by the young lady. The young lady also wanted her cousin to die in the Hundred Beast Mountain.

"Miss, do you want this servant to investigate?" Lian Bi pretended not to have heard the last sentence.

"No, why should I waste my time on something like this? I have been closely monitoring Yue Jing Hua and the Ming Xiang Courtyard. I will not start with her, but with the person she cares the most about," Lie Si Si said. The handkerchief in her hand twisted and was ripped apart.
