"Master!"

The fifty or so people simultaneously got on their knee in an act of displaying respect.

"Rise..." Ru’s voice was calmer than it had been before. But her persona had shifted from being playful to ice-cold. It was a wonder that the glass windows hadn’t formed icicles yet.

"Thank you, master!"

Ru had the urge to close her ear since they were loud. Too loud for her liking.

"Clean up this mess." She was referring to the bodies sprawled around her.

"Who are these people?" She could hear Jake’s whispering because of her sensitive hearing.

"These were dumb people who thought they can mess with our lord." Connor’s voice right after that.

"Dumb? I think they were the dumbest!" Adia added on with them.

"If your chit-chat is done. Get to work." Ru’s voice startled them and the frantically moved to clean up the bodies.

"Do you know who these people were?" Zhu Jie’s voice cfrom beside her.

"Nope."

"Then why didn’t you keep one of them alive to find out?" He really wanted to question her intelligence.

"What’s the point? They were gonna die anyway." Ru shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly as she went on, "Besides, they wanted my life. And if you want a life, you should be ready to give one in return as well."

Zhu Jie shook his head at her but couldn’t argue since there was no point at all. To live, you have to kill as well and he was aware of that very well.

They both stepped out of the teahouse to see it in shambles. That group of people was more like thugs than mercenaries or assassins. But when did her value dropped to have stupid low-life thugs to cafter her? Our proud peacock definitely didn’t agree with her own thoughts.

"Bye, shorty!" Zhu Jie rubbed her head making her scowl.

"Your wife is a shorty. Don’t you dare callshorty! I can reach exactly to your neck. That’s not short at all." Ru retorted with disdain.

"Hey! My wife is not short. Her height is perfect. She reaches exactly where she belongs." Zhu Jie replied with a loving smile on his face.

Seeing that smile, Ru didn’t want to question but her curiosity got the best of her, "Where does she belong?"

Zhu Jie pointed his slender finger against his chest and said, "Right here, in my heart."

Ru had the urge to puke blood but she couldn’t. Urgh! Why the hell did she even ask that? She should have known this henpecked husband was going to ruin her mood.

"That was so cheesy that my stomach is having difficulty in digesting this." Ru pretended to belch which got her a glare from Zhu Jie. "Whatever."

Zhu Jie turned to leave but stopped to ask, "When are you planning on coming to meet my babies?"

Ru scratched her head like a fool and said, "Not so soon."

Zhu Jie narrowed his eyes at her and added, "Sort out your time. My babies have yet to meet their godmother."

Ru nodded her head in understanding before her mind reeled and a frown formed between her brows. "Godmother? Who?"

"You, silly monkey. Who else?" Zhu Jie was amused to see her dumbstruck face.

"Are you serious? Couldn’t you find any better godmother?" She was looking at him as if he had done skind of a crime.

He paced up to her front again and leaned ahead to caress her head saying, "I really couldn’t find a better godmother. No one can top my Ru’er."

"You’re just saying this for the sake of it. I certainly can’t be someone’s first choice."

He flicked her forehead and said, "Run this brain on things that matter. Those people inside called you Xie Rong which means that they were after Xie Rong. Alev Knight has thousands of enemies but what did Xie Rong do? I think you need to concentrate on this fact for now. Stop being cheeky all the time."

"You don’t need to remindof that. If they think Xie Rong is a puny little fish in a pond, they certainly don’t know they have a demon waiting for them in the depth of that pond." Her green orbs blazed with rage which could scare anyone. But Jie wasn’t one of those people.

"I’ll see you soon. Do tellif you need anything." He alighted his car and drove away leaving Ru to play her mind the tunes of the deadly melody of a bloodbath that had yet to come.

"Trying to kill this lord? HA! I’ll see who had eaten the gallbladder of a bear or a leopard. Because it won’t be enough to bind this dragon!" She whispered to herself with a chill emanating from her body.
