Chapter 566: Chapter 566: Mage Chapter 566: Chapter 566: Mage Xuexue sidestepped, causing the Mage to lung in vain, which in turn sparked his anger, “You ungrateful girl, taking no heed of kindness shown, I, the Mage, place my words here, today whether you submit willingly or not, I shall have my way with you. You may not know this, but your grandmother and aunt have already consented to this, they are outside, guarding the room, barring others from interrupting! So, I advise you, don’t reject the wine only to be forced to drink as punishment, allowing me to resort to use force won’t be pleasant for you.”
With these words, his face contorted into a hideous expression.
Early on, Xuexue suspected that Old Lady Mo had summoned the Mage to their home for some devious scheme, and when she entered the room, a premonition confirmed it, but armed with her martial arts and portable space, she still went in to see what tricks they would play.
Xuexue’s eyes flickered, and she feigned disbelief, “You old coot, I can tell that you’re a Fake Monk, clearly harboring ill intentions yet framing my grandmother and aunt, I won’t be fooled by you.”
The Mage let out a sinister laugh, “Miss, don’t be naive, for the sake of wealth, what are family bonds in this world? Silly girl, I’ll tell you the truth, they fancy your family’s wealth and property, and they want me to stun you, then press your finger on this deed of transfer. By then, all your family’s fields and property will belong to them! Even if you take it to the Yamen, it’s likely too late.” As he spoke, he pulled a sheet of paper from his robes and waved it in front of Xuexue.
They had even prepared the deed of transfer, just waiting for her to imprint her finger.
Xuexue sneered inwardly, but her face remained as inscrutable as still waters, innocent as a rabbit, “But Mage, didn’t you say both I and our property were rife with evil energy? They dare to move in?”
Hearing this, the Mage laughed, “What evil energy? All that was just a lesson I taught Madam Ruan beforehand, otherwise, how could there be today’s exorcism?”
Now Xuexue understood; the entire scenario today was orchestrated by Madam Ruan from the start.
Her motive, of course, was to seize their family’s wealth.
Madam Ruan’s schemes were profound, going to the extent of colluding with Old Lady Mo, allowing this so-called Mage to ruin her reputation for the family’s wealth.
What a venomous move.
In her past life, she would have been helpless and resigned to her fate.
However, she had been reborn, not only with Heterochromia that allowed her to see things others couldn’t, but also equipped with martial arts skills and a portable space. She could crush them in a matter of minutes, no discussion necessary.
Knowing their intentions, Xuexue dropped her act, her expression turned cold, “Old man, I advise you to leave our home at once, or else face the consequences.”
Caught off-guard by Xuexue’s sudden change, the Mage froze, then burst into a loud guffaw, “Miss, you’ve surely got character, I really like you! I’ve decided, after we’ve indulged in pleasure, I’ll make you my Eighth Concubine. Afterwards, you’ll enjoy endless glory and wealth, never again to feud with them in this small village.”
With that, he lunged at Xuexue like a wolf pouncing on a lamb.
Xuexue had practiced martial arts for a few months with Big Bull, her movements getting faster and faster.
Just as the Mage seemed about to embrace Xuexue, he reached out and caught nothing but air, momentarily dumbfounded.
“You old fool, I’m right behind you,” Xuexue’s sweet voice rang out.
Turning around, the Mage glared at Xuexue with ominous eyes, blurting out something baffling, “I can’t believe the drug hasn’t taken effect at this point.”
At those words, alarm bells rang in Xuexue’s mind, and before she could react, her vision blurred as if she would faint at any moment.
