The three of Xiao Cui were both shocked and fearful, but upon examining their expressions, there were differences. The other two girls were bewildered in their fear, but the look on Xiao Cui's face was not fear, but an instinctual dread of Cui Sanniang, with not a hint of surprise, as though she had known all along.
Cui Sanniang's oppressive power was profound. Upon seeing her, the legs of the three instantly turned weak, and hearing her reprimand, Xiao Cui hurried forward to drag Xiao Hua Mei, while the other two girls had an impulse to flee in an instant.
Just as the two turned their bodies, Second Master Liu with a face full of festering sores, took off his cloak and squinted his sinister and lecherous eyes at them, looking at them as if they were prey, no one knew when he had arrived.
The two girls felt a chill across their bodies and no longer had the desire to flee. Under Xiao Cui's lead, trembling, they carried Xiao Hua Mei obediently despite their fear.
