Xiao Cheng's expression was ghastly, his voice trembling as he choked out, "That old hag Yichu... She said she'd make Si Shuo like Jiang Guo, but hate us!"
The men's faces all turned deathly pale. This was especially true for Ji Liang. He had expended an unimaginable amount of effort to get Si Shuo to accept him, a born Rogue Beast, slowly convincing her to lower her guard.
'Now, it might not just be a matter of starting all over again...'
Sure enough, they saw Si Shuo smiling at Jiang Guo, drooling. She even let out a little slurp!
'Just how much must she like him to act so instinctively?'
Yin Jiang stepped forward and hugged Si Shuo tightly. "Shuo'er, I'm hurting. Can we please go back and rest first?"
Si Shuo tilted her head and blinked, snapping out of her daze. She looked at the handsome young man so close to her, pursing her lips. For some reason, two conflicting emotions waged war in her mind.
