Volume 3, Chapter 241 – That Wolf Clan Princess, Is She Beautiful?

Yu Lizhi was a clever girl. She had never been as innocent as she appeared.

The more time Chi Xiyan spent with her, the more she could sense this truth.

Lin Xiu suspected Yu Lizhi because he had discovered her hidden side that others didn’t know about.

Qin Qingfen disliked Yu Lizhi because she felt Yu Lizhi’s existence would threaten Chi Xiyan’s position.

And Wei Qingyu suspected Yu Lizhi because those wolf demons had been far too merciful toward her.

Chi Xiyan had never met that wolf clan princess, nor did she understand what kind of person she was.

However, that wolf clan princess could strip Yu Lizhi’s clothes and tear them to shreds, yet never harm her in the slightest.

This incident had been viewed by Old Mu as a provocation from the wolf clan toward the Chi family.

Moreover, only the Chi family knew about this matter. Wei Qingyu didn’t know.

Thinking carefully about it now, Chi Xiyan realized it was filled with suspicious elements.

Taking all of this into consideration…

“Chi Xiyan, setting aside others’ opinions, how do you view Yu Lizhi yourself?”

Chi Xiyan covered her chest as she questioned herself.

After a moment, she lifted her head and looked at Wei Qingyu. “Inspector Wei, even though there are various suspicious aspects about Yu Lizhi, I believe in her.”

Wei Qingyu raised an eyebrow slightly. “Is it because of the blood bond between Chi family members?”

Chi Xiyan shook her head. “Not only because she’s my younger sister.”

“Apart from the Chi family bloodline…”

“I have my own methods to confirm that she’s completely trustworthy.”

Wei Qingyu looked surprised, then chuckled softly. “It seems that today’s matter was unnecessary meddling on my part.”

Chi Xiyan said, “Inspector Wei works tirelessly for Her Majesty. You’re a pillar of the nation, truly admirable.”

Wei Qingyu waved her hand dismissively. “Enough, don’t flatter me. That’s all I wanted to say. Since you have clarity in your own heart, I won’t say anything more.”

“Hurry back. Don’t keep your good younger sister anxiously waiting.”

As she spoke, Wei Qingyu raised her hand and withdrew the surrounding barrier.

The clamor of the marketplace immediately flooded in.

…

Chi Xiyan returned to the medical clinic and saw Lu Zhuxin still sitting obediently at the table.

She narrowed her eyes slightly.

Certainly, the Dao contract questioning could confirm that Yu Lizhi harbored no ill intentions toward Chi Xiyan.

However, that contract couldn’t confirm whether Yu Lizhi had done other things behind Chi Xiyan’s back.

It also couldn’t prove whether there was any connection between Yu Lizhi and that wolf clan princess.

“Sister?” Lu Zhuxin turned her head to look at Chi Xiyan. “Your complexion doesn’t look very good. Did Sister Wei say something to you?”

Calling her Sister Wei again.

Chi Xiyan smiled stiffly and said, “It’s nothing, just some trivial matters. After today’s incident, catching the wolf demons will probably become even more difficult.”

“Oh…” Lu Zhuxin’s face still wore an innocent expression. “I hope Sister Wei can catch those villains soon and eliminate evil for the people.”

Chi Xiyan looked at that face, unable to determine whether she was genuinely innocent at this moment or merely acting.

“Don’t worry, she certainly will.” Chi Xiyan said, “The demons and evil beings that have died by Inspector Wei’s hand number in the hundreds, if not thousands.”

“Perhaps in just a few days, Inspector Wei will be able to capture all those wolf demons.”

“When that happens, I’ll have Inspector Wei sell that wolf clan princess to the Chi family.”

“We’ll use her wolf bones and marrow for refining medicine.”

“Her wolf pelt will be made into clothing for you, and her wolf head will be soaked in wine for you.”

Lu Zhuxin’s expression remained unchanged.

But inwardly, she clicked her tongue lightly.

Little Xiyan, when did you become so aggressive?

Who corrupted you? Was it Wei Qingyu?

This level of probing… could it even be called a test? What could it possibly uncover?

“No, no.” Lu Zhuxin shook her head. “That wolf clan princess is quite beautiful. Thinking about such a beauty being dismembered, skinned, and then worn on my body… I’d have nightmares at night, elder sister.”

Hearing this, Chi Xiyan’s brows immediately furrowed.

“That wolf clan princess… she’s very beautiful?”

“Yes!” Lu Zhuxin nodded, as if she hadn’t detected the strangeness in Chi Xiyan’s tone.

She continued, “Among the beauties I’ve seen, her appearance could at least rank in the top five!”

“The Wolf Clan Divine Maiden’s true appearance can only rank in the top five?” Chi Xiyan’s tone grew increasingly strange.

“I didn’t realize Zhizhi had already seen so many beauties.”

“But I’m somewhat curious. Where would my appearance rank in Zhizhi’s eyes?”

Whoa!

So we’re starting to compete now, is that it?

This wasn’t something the previous Chi Xiyan would have said.

Even less so was it something the rational, self-controlled Chi Xiyan from the original text would have said.

Lu Zhuxin was delighted to see such changes.

“Sister, what are you saying?” Lu Zhuxin said, “How could that wolf clan princess’s appearance compare to yours?”

“In my heart, sster’s appearance is naturally first!”

“Smooth talker…” Chi Xiyan furrowed her brows, the coldness in her eyes dissipating somewhat. “Where did you learn such flattering rhetoric?”

“Everything I said is true.” Lu Zhuxin said, “It’s sincere praise from the heart.”

“Is that so?” Chi Xiyan suddenly thought of something. She changed the topic, her gaze sharpening. “However, didn’t you say you were blindfolded the entire time? Then how did you see that wolf clan princess’s true appearance?”

“Um…” Lu Zhuxin was immediately at a loss for words.

“What’s wrong?” Chi Xiyan slowly approached Lu Zhuxin. She could see that at the instant she heard this question, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across the girl’s face.

Was there a problem here?

Thinking this, Chi Xiyan’s gaze sharpened even more.

“Lift your head and look into my eyes.”

“Is this question so difficult to answer? Zhizhi.”

“Um…” Lu Zhuxin slightly lowered her head, lightly biting her lips.

“It was…”

“I saw her when she was removing my clothes…”

Chi Xiyan’s brows furrowed again. “Removing your clothes? Why would she remove your clothes?”

Lu Zhuxin answered weakly, “That wolf clan princess said those clothes had a restriction placed on them. If they weren’t destroyed… someone could track their whereabouts through those clothes…”

“So she told me to take off those clothes so she could destroy them…”

Lu Zhuxin’s body trembled slightly, her eyes glistening with moisture. “I refused. So she pounced on me and pinned me to the bed… forcibly tearing my clothes off…”

“Sister, I didn’t want to mention this…” Lu Zhuxin hugged her chest, her voice trembling. “I don’t want to recall such things…”

Chi Xiyan’s footsteps halted.

So… that wolf clan princess only tore Yu Lizhi’s clothes but didn’t harm her because those clothes had the Chi family’s restriction on them?

She tore Yu Lizhi’s clothes to prevent being tracked by Chi family experts?

Chi Xiyan had misunderstood.

“Zhizhi… I’m sorry…” Chi Xiyan quickly said, “I shouldn’t have made such a joke…”
