Chapter 724: Please Help Me
“What do you want me to do?”
“You should know Heavenly Wind Empire’s slave mark. So far, nobody can undo it, but someone of your status should be able to.”
Bai Yunyi frowned. “I’m afraid I can’t do anything. Who do you want to help undo the slave mark?”
He and Mr. Xiao had come together a few months ago. He wanted someone to sneak into Prince Zi’s house, while Mr. Xiao wanted him to agree to a request.
The two of them had struck a deal.
“The crown prince’s slave, Mo Qian’er.”
Bai Yunyi looked at him in surprise. “You’re bold enough to steal a woman from that devil. Aren’t you afraid that he’ll kill you?”
“There’s nothing to be scared of. I can’t watch her suffer.”
The truth was that Xiao Xiao fell in love with Qian’er at first sight. After learning of her background, he wanted to pull Qian’er out of the abyss even more.
However, he knew that it would be useless even if he brought Qian’er back. As long as she had the slave mark, she would be captured even if she escaped.
When he met her in Prince Zi’s house, he had been very surprised that she had actually been able to escape before he could do anything.
He was even more determined to help her get rid of the slave mark.
He hadn’t confessed his feelings to Qian’er because he knew they would only be a burden to her if she couldn’t undo her slave mark.
Only after it was undone could he reveal his feelings.
That was why he was willing to make a deal when he saw hope after meeting Bai Yunyi.
He just never expected that Bai Yunyi’s target was none other than Qian’er’s benefactor.
The world was too small.
“The slave mark isn’t easy to undo, unless you have the Sky Splitting Mirror.”
“The Sky Splitting Mirror again?” Mr. Xiao hadn’t expected that even Bai Yunyi wouldn’t have a solution.
“There might be another way, but I can’t think of any off the top of my head. I’ll think about it.”
Mr. Xiao smiled. “Alright. Think about it. I’ll also think about how to save Princess Zi.”
Bai Yunyi frowned. Was that a threat?
Mr. Xiao really didn’t trust him. Bai Yunyi was a man of his word, but Mr. Xiao was afraid he wouldn’t follow through.
The next day, Mr. Xiao checked Mo Qian’er’s pulse again before he said with a smile, “The baby is doing well, and you’re in great shape. You can go out and have some fun. It’ll make you feel better, and it’ll be good for the baby.”
Mo Qian’er smiled. “Thank you for your concern.”
Mr. Xiao said, “Of course.”
Mo Qian’er secretly observed him. He was gentle and kind. She really didn’t want to drag him into this.
However… Lu Fenying had indeed gotten angry because of him that day.
Only he could help her.
But how should she say it?
She really didn’t know how to ask Mr. Xiao.
Xiao Xiao felt that Mo Qian’er was especially strange today. She drank her tea every now and then, and stole glances at him from time to time. She clasped her hands together, as if she was uneasy and had something to say, but was also hesitant to voice it.
He stood up. “If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.”
He clearly saw Mo Qian’er raise her head and look at him. She opened her mouth and was about to say something, but it turned into one word. “Alright…”
Xiao Xiao smiled gently. “Do you have something to say to me?”
“Ah…” Mo Qian’er bit her lip. “I… I have something to ask you.”
Before Mo Qian’er could say anything, her face was already red.
Xiao Xiao was curious. What was it that made her too embarrassed to speak?
“Whatever it is, I’m willing to do it for you.” He said it calmly, which made Mo Qian’er feel even more embarrassed.
