The Next Of Phoenix
Chapter 4. Still Want to Have Fun

"Don't spread what you see today." Xiao Jiwang stared threateningly at the healer who had just finished treating Xiao Mingyui.

"Okay, your honor. This subordinate won't dare."

After the healer left, Xiao Jiwang refocused himself towards Xiao Mingyui. The man sat on the chair the healer had just occupied, the intimidating gaze and aura belonging to the man was extremely stifling of the room. But Xiao Mingyui remained calm.

Xiao Mingyui sat down while leaning her back on the bed board. His face still looked pale, as the poison had not yet been completely successfully removed, the healer berkats need a few more days for the poison to come out on its own. If being forced would be too dangerous, it would likely cause death.

"What is Princess Xiao doing here?" xiao Jiwang asked, his eyes staring intently at Xiao Mingyui.

Xiao Mingyui returned Xiao Jiwang's gaze, forcing a faint smile. "I have some inexplicable business, forgive me your majesty."

Xiao Jiwang smiled coldly. "Business to destroy me?"

Xiao Mingyui shook her head. "If I wanted to destroy your majesty, I shouldn't have willingly eaten that poison pill for you. You need to know, there is not a single piece of Xiao Wangfu that has the blood of a traitor so dare to injure the descendants of the Emperor."

"Then what's your goal? Don't think me stupid, Princess Xiao. You can't possibly be willing to take such a rash action if you don't have a purpose." Xiao Jiwang's eyes stared increasingly cold, he was sure that Xiao Mingyui could not possibly be just willing to go with the frills of 'faithful' to the Emperor's descendants to willingly eat poison.

Xiao Mingyui frowned, her eyes looking seriously at Xiao Jiwang. "Your majesty, is my figure very cold and cunning in your eyes? How could you suspect a woman who is willing to help you by taking poison pills like this? Don't you think about her feelings?"

Xiao Jiwang frowned even deeper, now he was astonished that Xiao Mingyui suddenly carried a feeling. He was not sure if before Xiao Mingyui's nature was indeed talkative and this bike was with feelings.

Seeing that Xiao Jiwang no longer budged and only looked at him coldly, Xiao Mingyui did not give up. The woman suppressed her acting ability.

Xiao Mingyui bent both of her legs, hugging her knees. The woman placed her cheeks on her knees while putting on a sad face, her eyes not staring at Xiao Jiwang anymore.

Those eyes were emitting suras of intense sadness and loneliness, slowly a tear appeared.

"Since Fu qin's death, it feels like I've become very messed up. I don't know what to do, everything feels gray. Maybe you feel this is not like I usually do, I feel the same way. It seems I've been corrupted by my own grief." Xiao Mingyui gently wiped her tears, then looked back at Xiao Jiwang.

"Your highness, you certainly know what great turmoil is going on in Xiao Wangfu. Alright, I will tell you the true meaning of my arrival here. My sister, Xiao Xiangqing. He intended to send me out of the capital to stay away from the great conflict that would ensue, but. I can't just leave my sister. So, I came here to strategize for Xiao Xiangqing to fail to send me outside the capital. I am his Jiejie, how can I let my beloved sister face the whole big problem that befell our Wangfu alone?" Xiao Mingyui was still crying softly as she made up the story.

Her face really looked very sad, the woman seemed like she would easily get millions of attention with such a sad and beautiful face. Anyone who sees it will feel sympathy and pity. He looks like a crying angel. Clear tears that flow gently in her pearl white skin can inspire anyone not to bear wiping tears for her.

Xiao Jiwang raised his left eyebrow at a glance, then grinned faintly. His sneer was captured by Xiao Mingyui's eyes, silently making the woman a little horrified. Xiao Jiwang drew the distance closer, his grin still lingering.

Xiao Mingyui frowned, after which no longer cried. The woman was now staring warily at Xiao Jiwang. Xiao Jiwang who was being stared at like that was getting excited, he was happy to see the sad face of the woman turning into alert quickly.

Xiao Jiwang continued to get closer, he squeezed some distance with Xiao Mingyui, his hands he placed to hold his body on the bed as Xiao Mingyui curled up on his body with his face still raised fearlessly.

"You think I'm fooled by such lowly acting?" The whisper of Xiao Jiwang in Xiao Mingyui's ears was smooth.

Xiao Mingyui clenched both of her hands silently, then the look on her face turned normal to cold and flat again. He removed the traces of his acting sadness, his eyes glancing coldly at Xiao Jiwang.

Xiao Jiwang moved his face slightly away from Xiao Mingyui's ears to look at the woman's expressionless cold face, he then said, "I'll ask once again, my suggestion answer correctly. What is. Your aim. In here?"

Xiao Mingyui smiled faintly, her cold thin smile making Xiao Jiwang's forehead fold. The man was astonished, even in this position and situation Xiao Mingyui still looked very calm and was not even afraid to stare and smile at him.

Xiao Jiwang got up awkwardly, then pulled the sword from his waist and unsheathed it into Xiao Mingyui's neck. "You haven't answered my question. Don't doubt my madness, Xiao Mingyui. I don't hesitate to kill you here even though you are the descendant of the late Xiao Wangye."

Xiao Mingyui stared coldly at the sword, then touched the cold surface of the sword with his index finger. "You really want to know?"

Xiao Jiwang did not reply, the man just stared intently at Xiao Mingyui. As Xiao Mingyui looked back at Xiao Jiwang's face, the woman asked again, "What will your majesty do after knowing what my reason is? Killing me? Helping me? Or ... be uncaring?"

"Depending on what you say," Xiao Jiwang replied quickly, then he further drew the distance of the sword eye to the skin surface of Xiao Jiwang's neck.

Xiao Mingyui smiled faintly again, then said, "I want to be your Crown Princess."

Xiao Jiwang widened his eyes, staring in surprise at Xiao Mingyui. The man frowned ever deeper, his sharp and disgusted gaze mixed into one. "You crazy?"

Xiao Mingyui shook his head, his countenance still very calm even as the sword eyes drew closer to the skin of his neck.

"As you have said before, I cannot do anything that has no meaning or benefit. I am not a person who carelessly makes decisions without thinking," Xiao Mingyui replied, the look on his face showing seriousness.

Xiao Jiwang was silent for a moment, slowly his surprised face changed with a calm countenance. The man then put on a sly smile. "Why can you prove it?"

"Anything. Whatever you ask, I'll do." Xiao Mingyui looked at Xiao Jiwang with an extremely powerful spirit beam.

"You. Give me complete control of you." Xiao Jiwang looked coldly at Xiao Mingyui, the man returned Xiao Mingyui's fire-filled gaze with millions of ice.

Xiao Mingyui was stunned, but then he stared at the sword surface and lowered the sword slowly using his index finger. Xiao Jiwang's sword slowly moved away from his neck, then Xiao Mingyui immediately stood up, his eyes looking back at Xiao Jiwang. "I belong to you now."

Xiao Jiwang was silent for quite a long time, but then he smiled, after which laughed. The man laughed so crisply, as if he had just seen a comedy show.

Xiao Jiwang stared intently at Xiao Mingyui, then asked, "What benefit would I get if you became my wife?"

Xiao Mingyui frowned. "The infinite power. You will rule over the entire mainland of this Empire and the military. Although Xiao Wangfu's forces are not in your direct control, if you marry me, you will, I guarantee that Xiao Xiangqing will devote himself to you and give you the opportunity to lead Xiao Wangfu's army. Thus, your concern regarding Xiao Xiangqing will be erased."

Xiao Jiwang nodded briefly, then brought himself closer to Xiao Mingyui. Xiao Jiwang's right hand gently stroked the surface of Xiao Mingyui's face, then upon arriving at the woman's white jade hairpin, Xiao Jiwang pulled it, making Xiao Mingyui's long black hair dangle freely.

"You really are like a thorny white rose. It looks very holy, graceful, and gentle, but if someone is too absorbed in your beauty, his finger will be pierced with sharp thorns," Xiao Jiwang then placed the pointed tip of the white jade hair pin on the surface of Xiao Mingyui's nape.

Xiao Jiwang stared fixedly at Xiao Mingyui's eyes. "Your offer is very good, but .. I still want to find some commotion with Xiao Xiangqing." Xiao Jiwang's lips again grinned, then he scratched Xiao Mingyui's nape with the pointed tip of a hair pin.

Xiao Mingyui's skull spat out a hint of blood, the scratch was short and not deep. It seemed like Xiao Jiwang only wanted to give him a 'wound warning'.

Xiao Jiwang pulled Xiao Mingyui's left arm, then placed the white jade hair pin on his palm. Xiao Jiwang turned around, then said, "Don't ever do something like this again, Xiao Mingyui."

Xiao Mingyui gnashed his teeth after Xiao Jiwang's figure completely disappeared. The woman squeezed her white jade hair pin very tightly. The bastard man, it turned out that he was not as easy as Xiao Mingyui had imagined.

Xiao Mingyui sat back on the bed, his eyes still staring intently at Xiao Jiwang coming out. Look and just wait, Xiao Mingyui will not give up. No matter which part the man would scratch the wound in any other case if his attempt failed, most importantly he already had great determination and effort. Xiao Mingyui would not give up so easily for the sake of his family!
