The Genius Wife of the Pampered King of Hell
Chapter 68 - Couple Brother and Sister
At first glance, Hexi could recognize the two people as the pair of sisters she saved in front of Ji Sheng Hall yesterday. But compared to their miserable appearance yesterday, with their hair neatly combed, revealing two clean faces, they now looked even more presentable and tidy.
Although the young man's stature was thin, his brows were like swords above starry eyes, while the little girl's face was carved with powder, and combined with the jade-colored clothes she was wearing, it looked extremely adorable. Together, they stood up when they saw Hexi approaching, two pairs of bright eyes looking at him solemnly.
The young man stepped forward, bowing with gratitude, “Thank you very much for the kindness of the Young Master for saving me yesterday. My name is Wu Qi, this is my sister, Xiao Li.”
Today, the little girl's face looked fresh and innocent, there was no trace of yesterday's sadness left. He timidly hid behind the young man and timidly said, "Thank you for saving my brother yesterday."
However, Hexi immediately frowned while looking at them carefully, "How did you find me here?"
He was able to drive people away from Ji Sheng Hall and Sheng De Hall when they followed him, even finding Qing Long tracking against him. So how could he be found on his doorstep by these two kids?
The young man, Wu Qi, feeling his caution, quickly pulled the little girl out of hiding, explaining, “Young Master, please don't be suspicious, please, we have no evil intentions and we don't really follow it. Thy. Because of my brother Xiao Li's innate talent, he was able to communicate with animals and he asked the insects and birds hiding in every corner of the city. With that, we can find you here.”
Hexi's surprised. He did not expect that there would be anyone who could communicate with the animals in this world.
His gaze fell on brother and sister, seeing the reddened face of the little girl named Xiao Li. With her somewhat fearful gaze, it could not hide the gratitude and affection in her eyes as she stared at Hexi.
Hexi understood the innocent mind more than anyone, that appreciating a jade ring would be a crime, making one get into trouble for a precious item. One's talent will arouse the envy of others. This young man, without the slightest hesitation, had just revealed their secret. Was it just to dispel his suspicions towards them?
Xiao Li's abilities were certainly very strong. He can communicate with fish, birds, wild animals, and all the animals on the ground. For assassins, using information to spy and investigate, it was simply a perfect weapon.
However, the cake did not just fall from the sky. Hexi did not believe that she would take such a huge profit for granted, without needing to take responsibility.
Staying calm and collected, he asked, “You can see that I am just an insignificant commoner without a cultivation base. Considering that my martial power is not the same as yours, how could you think that I would be able to protect your sister? Besides, why should I help you two?”
He saved this young man only because he remembered the suffering in his past. While the most important reason was that he wanted to understand medical care and the level of medical skill in this world, not out of compassion. Hexi doesn't need anyone else's gratitude.
Wu Qi was startled, staring blankly upon hearing what was said. However, not the slightest bit of disappointment or anger appeared on his face, instead, he suddenly knelt on the ground, “Young Master, I, Wu Qi, am willing to swear by my own blood. I'll settle all accounts with the enemies of my family, then, when I return, I'll recognize you as My Master and serve you. From now on, Xiao Li and I will only obey Young Master's orders.”
Hexi raised her eyebrows, "You want to be my slave?"
"NO!" Wu Qi quickly shook his head, "We want to be the Young Master's servant, not the slave."
In the Mi Luo continent, a slave could not have independent thinking, nor could they cultivate to raise their level, it could be said that their existence was the lowest of the lowest. As for a servant, although it was almost the same, they had the relationship of Master and servant. They were very happy and were eager to serve their Master, just like Qing Long and Nangong Yu.
