Peach-Orange! – Chapter 485 – Special Envoy Qiu Comes to Pledge Allegiance

Xiaocheng has no connection to this young lady; the other party even just returned from abroad. Why would they target her?

‘If it was because of that so-called father, Su Dingtian, and they were targeting me, I can understand.’

‘But what does this have to do with Xiaocheng?’

‘Capture Xiaocheng and then threaten me?’

‘But with their abilities, they could just capture me directly!’

This is what puzzles Su Tao the most.

‘In the past, Xiaocheng got hurt because of me.’

‘Now that it’s not because of me, why is Xiaocheng still getting hurt?’

She stared fixedly at Song Liyin. Even though she knew the other might lie to her, she still wanted an answer.

Song Liyin did not look at Su Tao, still gazing at the sky, “Regarding why the young lady is targeting Chi Xiaocheng, to be honest, I’m not too clear either.”

Su Tao’s eyes widened, “You don’t know either?”

Song Liyin shrugged, “I’m just a maid, I follow orders. How could a mere maid like me guess the young lady’s clever intentions?”

Su Tao was momentarily speechless, “Can you speak plainly?”

Song Liyin shrugged, “Why they are targeting Chi Xiaocheng, I don’t know, but I can indeed tell you one thing.”

The maid narrowed her eyes, lowering her voice, “That is, my young lady will definitely do everything in her power to get Chi Xiaocheng into her hands.”

Do everything in her power….

Get into her hands.

Su Tao took a deep breath, “If you want to target me, or target my father, there’s absolutely no need to involve Xiaocheng!”

“What, she doesn’t like you anymore, and you still care about her this much?”

“None of your business!”

Faced with Su Tao’s cold words, Song Liyin wasn’t angered, “I’m just stating the facts, why are you getting so worked up? Regarding your other question, I can tell you straight: my young lady targeting Chi Xiaocheng has….

“No – connection – to – you.”

She continued, “Whether it’s your War God bloodline or Su Dingtian’s influence abroad, it’s all insignificant to the young lady. Ultimately, what use would targeting you be?”

Song Liyin yawned, but it made Su Tao’s heart grow colder.

If it had nothing to do with her, then what reason could there be for wanting to take Xiaocheng away instead of killing her?

Could it be….

Because Xiaocheng is too cute?

Without external influences, Su Tao is just a native missing countless perspectives, devoid of information.

Of course, she doesn’t know the truth of this world, nor does she know about Chi Xiaocheng’s connection to reincarnation.

At most, she had a few dreams in the past.

But she only ever considered them dreams.

Even if she tried to perceive something amiss in those dreams, the world’s will would stop her.

Just like Dongfang Wen’s hypnosis.

She could perceive things hidden deep within, unknown to others.

But a certain existence did not want her to know.

This led to Su Tao thinking it over and over.

The only somewhat reasonable conclusion she could come up with was that Xiaocheng is just too cute.

She always wants to snatch Xiaocheng away but don’t want to harm her. Is it to take Xiaocheng back to be her wife?

Song Liyin continued, “So, how about considering handing Chi Xiaocheng over temporarily? She doesn’t like you anymore anyway.”

‘Just because she doesn’t like me, I should hand her over?!’

‘Xiaocheng is clearly mine!’

‘She said long ago that she belongs only to me!’

Su Tao’s face was livid, “If you’re trying to provoke my anger, you’ve succeeded. Even if I’m alone, I won’t hand Xiaocheng over to you!”

Song Liyin smiled faintly, “This isn’t really for you to decide. Are you really that confident that Dongfang Yang and Si Chen will help you?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, you’d better keep a close watch on your little Xiaocheng. This is the final warning; things are about to get serious.”

Song Liyin retracted her gaze, no longer looking at Su Tao.

The serious tone made the sense of urgency almost palpable in the air.

Su Tao’s fists were clenched tightly.

She stared deathly harsh at Song Liyin.

Her gaze flicked to the burly suited bodyguard before withdrawing again.

“Hmph!”

With a flick of her hand, Su Tao quickly left the place.

But her steps were far less calm than when she had arrived.

After the young woman left, Song Liyin stroked her chin thoughtfully, “Loving too deeply isn’t always a good thing.”

Song Liyin looked at the bodyguard and asked, “How is that matter I asked you to arrange coming along?”

The bodyguard was startled, “Replying to Head Maid, Special Envoy Qiu is in charge of this matter.”

After the bodyguard finished speaking, Song Liyin finally reacted, looking around several times, “Then where is Special Envoy Qiu?”

“Uh… seemed to get lost in the banquet just now?”

“That Dragon King’s man is indeed completely unreliable. Call him immediately!”

“Yes!”

Right at this moment, Chi Xiaocheng in the back garden was face-to-face with the Special Envoy Qiu that both of them were thinking about.

This mysterious black-clad man, once labeled a public defecator by the Jiuzhou City police and expert panel, was looking at Chi Xiaocheng with a livid face.

His first words were an accusation, “Chi Xiaocheng, what you gave me last time was just simple laxative, not poison, right?!”

That was his dream of not achieving immortality.

That day, after killing Lin Fangya, he drank the poison Chi Xiaocheng gave him, choosing to “abandon darkness for light.”

The entire way back, he practically took a few steps and then had to defecate. Later, having no toilet paper, he could only make do with branches and leaves occasionally.

But he must have used something poisonous, because it really was like a small knife slicing the buttocks….

By the time he returned to the Dragon King’s lair, his buttocks were burning, and the way his comrades looked at him had changed.

Later, having no chance to contact Chi Xiaocheng again, he spent many days in fear and trembling, afraid he might suddenly fall ill and die.

Until nearly half a year passed.

Only then did Special Envoy Qiu realize that what Chi Xiaocheng gave him last time might have been just simple laxative.

He had been tricked!

This blatant accusation also made Chi Xiaocheng somewhat awkward.

A piece she placed casually back then had actually come looking for her now.

She awkwardly changed the subject, “Since you know I tricked you, and you’ve been fine all along, why are you looking for me? Aren’t you working with your Dragon King? Now you’re following that maid. Did you come to seek revenge?”

Special Envoy Qiu’s mouth twitched upon hearing this.

‘I’d like to seek revenge, but the key is I can’t beat you!’

Special Envoy Qiu leaned against a nearby stone pillar, lit a cigarette, and sighed, “I thought long and hard, and I feel like following you offers more prospects, so here I am.”

Chi Xiaocheng blinked, “What if you’re a double agent? Wouldn’t I be screwed then?”

“You…!” Special Envoy Qiu was so angry he felt his lungs would explode.

He endured humiliation under Xiao Ming’s command, then acted as a dog for the Head Maid, all just to see Chi Xiaocheng again and pledge allegiance.

‘And yet you still doubt me!’

Going back to that Dragon King guy means eating instant noodles for several more months. How could he when a fellow brother already got cancer from it?! ¹ There’s a common belief in China (more prevalent among older people) that eating too much instant noodles gives you cancer.

Continuing acting as a dog for that Head Maid would just make her look down on him more!

And he also couldn’t beat this loli in front of him!

Endure!

Special Envoy Qiu let out a long breath, “Since you doubt my loyalty, I’ll tell you the intelligence I’ve gathered. You analyze it yourself!”
