The Birth Of A Villainess

"Do you know him?" Qu Xing Xu turned his head to ask her.

Lin Xiaofei shook her head, "No."

If she knew him, he wouldn't have pushed her to the wall and choke her. Besides, Lin Xiaofei's people will never dare to sneak up on her if they don't dear death at all.

As soon as she finished speaking, two men in black clothes appeared without a sound. They had a stance ready to combat. But when they saw what was happening inside the room, they were greatly shocked.

"Master!" They both kneeled down when they saw Qu Xing Xu.

However, Qu Xing Xu scoffed at them. "I dare not let you call me your master.. What kind of subordinates are you that a wounded man could actually sneak around you and attack the person I assigned for you to protect?"

That was when the two shadow guards noticed the other man inside the room under their master's foot. They paled in shock and awe. However, they also felt ashamed for being not able to stop this man from entering the room.

"Forgive us, master!"

"Please forgive us, master!"

The two of them pleaded with their heads touching the ground now. They didn't need to give an excuse for missing the man when the result of their failure was already presented before them.

Like a lamb trapped in a cage with a huge lion inside, the two shadow guards waited for their punishment if their master forgave them. However, the possibility of death still hanging in the air.

Lin Xiaofei looked on at this scene and didn't say a word. She merely watched the show and also pondered just how high this man's martial arts could get for these two guards to not notice him at all.

At this point, the man on the ground no longer groaned in pain. He already fell unconscious just from the force that Qu Xing Xu applied when he throw him to the ground and kicked him with his foot.

"…Is he still alive?" She asked not because she was concerned about the intruder but because she was afraid of staining her room with someone else's blood.

Instead of answering, Qu Xing Xu suddenly asked, "Do you want him to be?"

"Not really." Lin Xiaofei said honestly.

The man was a stranger and she wasn't a saint to feel sympathy nor compassion towards a fellow human being. Besides, from the looks of it, he was already in danger and keeping him alive and around her could mean adding danger on top of al the troubles that was already on her plate.

Seeing that she was being honest and sincere with her reply, Qu Xing Xu was relieved. He was already soaking in vinegar when he came in and felt another presence of a man with her inside the room.

At first, he intended spend some time with her, preferably, to continue their conversation earlier in the morning. However, because of the intruder, he was overwhelmed with jealousy that he never felt before and attacked him immediately.

If Lin Xiaofei told him that she wanted him to keep the man alive, he'll probably kill the intruder before she could develop any feelings towards that man.

Thankfully, she didn't seem too concerned about the man. Thus, Qu Xing Xu was extremely pleased and happy that he even forgave the two shadow guards who made a mistake tonight.

"You two can go to the Hall Pain and receive your punishment." He told them. He took off his foot that was on the intruder's chest and continued to say, "And carry him with you. Don't forget to tie him up and make sure he won't be able to go out."

"Yes, master!"

The two shadow guards scooped up the unconscious man on the ground and carried him like he was a bag of rice sack. Lin Xiaofei wanted to ignore them but she heard a faint thud sound when something fell to the ground. Qu Xing Xu also heard this and looked at it.

It was a golden medallion that fell on the ground.

Since he was the one who the closest to the man, Qu Xing Xu picked up the medallion and walked to Lin Xiaofei to show it to her.

"What is that?" Lin Xiaofei asked while looking at it.

He responded. "Looks like a medallion but I'm not sure what it's for. Do you want to keep it?"

"No." Lin Xiaofei sighed. Today's events has been too much for her.

"Why? It looks cute on you." Qu Xing Xu told her and received a glare from her.

What kind of cuteness could he see from the medallion? Just from the black choker that was attached at the small hole at the edge of the medallion and the blood that smeared it, it screamed danger at Lin Xiaofei.

"Then, you can wear it then." Lin Xiaofei turned around and said.

Since there was no place for them inside the room, the two shadow guards who were now forced to eat dog food by just standing there now hurriedly stepped out of the room using the window.

The night wind was cool. Although, the summer season was right around the corner, people still have to wear a few layers of clothes to fend against the cold.

Taking his robe off, Qu Xing Xu put it on Lin Xiaofei. He just noticed that she was wearing her inner clothes and felt irritated that someone else saw her like this. He even planned to pluck out the two shadow guards and that intruder's eyes since they saw her wearing less. But their memories of her in her inner clothes wouldn't vanish so easily so he decided against it.

Anyway, even if they saw her wearing her inner clothes, they wouldn't have the privilege to spend time with her and marry her.

Consoled with this thought, Qu Xing Xu shamelessly sat on her bed while Lin Xiaofei had her back to him. She busied herself with the mess from her previous encounter with that man. She, of course, didn't want to clean the mess on the floor but only the things that were on her table.

When she was done, she turned around only to see Qu Xing Xu sitting on her bed with a familiar looking red book in his hand.

Lin Xiaofei: "..."

He became even more brazen enough to pat the spot next to him and said, "What are you staring at? Come here and let's continue our discussion from this morning."
