Chapter 190: Psychic Dreams? Ah, Itâs a Super Power
Upon leaving Apricot Garden, Long Heng reverted to his usual frosty demeanor. This time, his icy rage was palpable, radiating off his body in chilly waves. Everyone who went near him would involuntarily tremble inside. He summoned the concealed guards and ordered them to locate Duan Yunying as soon as humanly possible. Long Heng had originally allowed him freedom in order to investigate the enemy nationâs movements. But of course, Long Heng had also wanted to use him to stir up trouble for Luo Yunzheng and Lin Qianzi. But heâd never expected the enemy to go as far as to harm Bai Xiangxiu. No matter what stood in his way, he would have his revenge.
Bai Xiangxiu was extremely worried about Long Heng even though she was at home. After all, he was about to do something dangerous. This time, Huoâer entered into her dreams directly to ask, âMistress. Huoâer has stronger powers of perception now. Maybe youâd like to watch that thing youâre curious about?
âYes.â Huoâer really did have something to do with my previous dreams after all! Bai Xiangxiu had always felt that those dreams had been a little weird. But this time, she was able to voluntarily enter the dream . Thus, she began to witness Long Hengâs revenge. But if she had known that itâd be such a gory scene, sheâd never have agreed to watch in the first place!
Long Heng seemed to have entered a room filled with the scent of perfume and powder. She saw a man abruptly leap out of bed. The man wasnât properly dressed, which allowed Bai Xiangxiu to see his fair and alluring body. I didnât think that this male supporting character would be so excellent as well. At least, in terms of his figure.
âWhy have you come?â Duan Yunying looked like he was scrambling for his clothes, but was likely looking for a way out at the same time.
âThe parasite had the properties of an aphrodisiac. Since I used my blood to cure her of the parasite, you mustâve been hit by a backlash of toxins. I knew that Iâd find you weak and drained of energy in a place like this.â The aura of a formidable military general exuded from every inch of Long Hengâs being. At that moment, he was a god of slaughter, and the incarnation of the devil himself.
Bai Xiangxiuâs heart was racing when she saw Long Heng like this. She was completely and utterly enchanted by his dominance. This was the kind of man that should only exist in the movies! Yet she was lucky enough to get her hands on such a man! Why does this feel so exhilarating? Bai Xiangxiu was falling so hard for him that she almost felt compelled to yell, âThis is my boyfriend! No⌠This is my husband you know?â
Unfortunately, this husband of mine also kills.
âLong Heng! What do you want from me?â Duan Yunyingâs legs were soft and wobbly after two days of endless rounds. He knew that escape would not be easy.
The hell? Must you use your words so sparingly? Husband, canât you at least tell him why youâre killing him? Unfortunately, an extended monologue wasnât in the cards. Long Heng immediately sprang towards Duan Yunying with a weapon in hand.
Long Heng was much stronger than Duan Yunying, so it didnât take long before Duan Yunyingâs left arm sported a gash. Duan Yunying furrowed his brows and yelled, âLong Heng! You must know the consequences of killing me! Do you really want to start a war again when weâve only just made peace? Will your master still trust a dog like you? Ahhh!!â Duan Yunying screamed as another gash appeared on his left arm.
Duan Yunying gritted his teeth. âLong Heng! Are you insane?â
âThey⌠are my everything. I will not allow you to live after harming them. Your country⌠will meet the same fate as you.â Long Heng was so domineering that every word he spoke seemed to echo repeatedly in the area around him.
Duan Yunying immediately felt like something was off. He came to the dismal realization that the fool in this matter had been none other than him. If Long Heng was to bear enmity against his country, wouldnât he then become the sinner for instigating all this? To understand this, one must understand how terrifyingly skilled Long Heng was at warfare. In the previous war, Long Heng had, leading just his army, slaughtered a path almost all the way to their capitalâs doors. If it wasnât for the peace talks coming to a swift conclusion, their nation mightâve been wiped off from the map already.
Duan Yunying was terrified. Long Heng truly was the biggest enemy of his life. He gritted his teeth and retrieved the concealed weapon that he had previously hid beside the bed, throwing it at Long Heng with all his strength.
âWatch out! Watch out, Your Highness!â Bai Xiangxiu yelled while still dreaming. Her palms were sweating due to anxiety. Xiaoshi jumped straight into the air, startled by the sudden yelling, and quickly ran up to check up on her mistress. Besides being a little sweaty, Bai Xiangxiu seemed to be doing fine.
Xiaoshi quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe off Bai Xiangxiuâs sweat and stayed by her mistressâ side all night. Bai Xiangxiu was still stuck in the dream that was now turning into a nightmare. She witnessed with her own eyes how Long Heng butchered the male supporting character. Yes, Duan Yunyingâs murder could only be best described as a butchery. When Long Heng was done, he dumped the corpse on the streets for dogs to tear apart. It was so gruesome that many in the crowd had nightmares the next day.
Bai Xiangxiu was covered in cold sweat when she woke up. But for some reason, she didnât feel any disdain towards Long Heng for doing what heâd done. On the contrary, she actually felt somewhat happy that Long Heng had avenged her so passionately?
Isnât that a little perverse? Such thoughts would totally ruin my gentle, kind-hearted and considerate image! Actually, her thoughts wouldnât really affect otherâs opinions on her. On the surface, she was still the concubine who was greatly liked by the old madame and the servants. Keeping her from harm was their number one priority now that she was pregnant.
The old madame was already treating Bai Xiangxiu like an actual daughter-in-law. She even brought Bai Xiangxiu along with her to a spring banquet because Bai Xiangxiu was growing too depressed staying at home. Her son was simply too much as well. Heâd nearly caused a miscarriage just by spending an afternoon with her! Now that there was some free time, she wanted her son to spend his time with other women instead so that he would stay away from Bai Xiangxiu and her eldest grandchild.
The spring banquet was held at Prince Rongâs manor this year. Even Madame Lin, who had long since avoided the public eye, was making a public reappearance. However, she was still shunned by everyone. In fact, not many were willing to talk to her at all.
Bai Xiangxiu, on the other hand, was unexpectedly well-received by others. Upon her arrival, Madame Song immediately pulled her aside to ask all sorts of questions. When the others saw how familiar the two were with each other, they instantly figured out that Bai Xiangxiu was the one who had gifted them the uplifting plants back then. A few other madames then came up to Bai Xiangxiu to request more, and they were all met with a resounding yes. Because she was pregnant, Bai Xiangxiu seemed so frail that even a light breeze seemed enough to topple her. Everyone was sweating nervously for her the minute they saw her. Many were finding it difficult to ask for something from a person that seemed so fragile. However, they didnât think that she would agree to each and every request made. She was surprisingly straightforward.
Her fragile exterior combined with her forthright personality made her very popular with the crowd. Madame Song absolutely adored her as well. In her case, sheâd recently noticed her sonâs feelings for Bai Xiangxiu. It was simply futile to hide such things from her. Too bad sheâs already married to Prince Li. Iâve even heard that sheâs now pregnant as well. Thereâs no way our family would accept her anymore even if I tried to bring her into the family. Well, itâs not like my son will have troubles finding an excellent wife anyways. However, it truly isnât easy to find an obedient wife who is also a good cook! I want her to be my daughter-in-law so badly!
The old madame was depressed. Madame Song was staring at her daughter-in-law so passionately that her eyes were practically glued to Bai Xiangxiu. She was well aware that Madame Song had taken a fancy to her sonâs concubine. Even though Bai Xiangxiu was only be a concubine, she was still her sonâs woman after all. The old madame couldnât help but feel a little disgruntled when someone was thinking about Bai Xiangxiu in that way. Moreover , they all were treating her like air. Even though Song Jiaoyue had walked past her many times, his gaze had been locked onto Bai Xiangxiu and no one else. Fortunately, nĂŠe Bai seemed to know her place well. She kept her eyes to herself for the most part and didnât make any improper eye contact with others.
