Chapter 456: Chapter 456 Abnormal Psychology Chapter 456: Chapter 456 Abnormal Psychology Fortunately, the dwarf wailed for a while, then quieted down and sat on the ground without saying a word.
This Demon’s psyche is severely warped and perverse.
Xuexue held her breath, not daring to make a sound rashly.
Suddenly, the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Xuexue gently twisted her body, feeling that after the effects of the Bewitching Powder had worn off, she wasn’t uncomfortable and her anxiety settled down quite a bit. If the dwarf dared to poison her, she was ready to risk everything and fight with him.
Even if she had no chance of winning, she could still make an escape, couldn’t she?
All of a sudden, the dwarf stood up from the ground and walked towards Xuexue.
Lying on the bed, Xuexue’s eyebrows twitched, and she immediately became tense all over. If the dwarf dared to harm her, she was ready to fight for her life.
The dwarf’s tiny silhouette stood by the bed, wordlessly staring at Xuexue with a sinister gaze.
Xuexue was creeped out by his stare.
What on earth did this homicidal maniac want to do?
After a long while, the dwarf finally spoke, “Little girl, you and I are fated. Come with me to the Capital. The Fourth Prince has summoned me there, where endless glory and wealth await. You won’t have to stay in this backwater place for the rest of your life, I assure you a day will come when you’ll rise above.”
Knowing that he wouldn’t harm her for the time being, Xuexue breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself that this Demon really was, just like in her past life, throwing his lot in with that scoundrel.
Xuexue said with a troubled look on her face, “Big brother, if you take me away, my family will be worried sick when they can’t find me. If I go to the Capital, how will they cope with their worry about me?”
She would return to the Capital sooner or later, but now, she was not yet strong enough; it wasn’t the right time.
Not often encountering someone who wasn’t put off by her looks, the dwarf wanted to keep Xuexue by his side for companionship, to chat and relieve boredom. So he said, “Tell me the address, and I’ll have someone send them a message.”
Xuexue’s heart skipped a beat. She absolutely couldn’t reveal her family’s address to the dwarf. With his cruel nature and unpredictable mood swings, who knew if the next minute, feeling displeased, he might go on a killing spree? Her foster mother was the person she needed to protect in this life; she couldn’t put her in danger.
“Ah, but how to send a message? Early this morning, my mother took my sister back to my grandmother’s house. It’s a far-off place, and I’ve never even been there myself; I don’t know the address,” Xuexue said, frowning tightly, looking utterly at a loss.
“How about I give you a message to take to your neighbor’s house, and they can pass it on to your family?” The dwarf, intent on having Xuexue stay, thoughtfully offered a solution.
“We live up in the mountains; there are no neighbors. Our family is the only one on the entire mountain,” Xuexue firmly blocked all his suggestions.
At this, the dwarf grew impatient, suddenly snapping at her fiercely, “I don’t care, you just have to come with me to the Capital, or else I’ll kill you.”
Just like in her past life, this Demon would turn against her at the drop of a hat.
“Big brother, don’t scare me. I’ll go, alright?” Right now, the only plan was to calm his temper before figuring out the next step.
“That’s more like it,” he grumbled.
Having calmed down a bit, the dwarf then rummaged through the room and found a set of clothes, looking ready to head out.
“Big brother, it’s so late; where are you going now?” she asked, knowing that the Demon, not sleeping this late, was surely up to no good.
“It’s because of that stinking guy who proposed to you today. I’m going to deal with him and then take you to the Capital,” he said.
Xuexue was secretly shocked and probed, “Big brother, do you know his address?”
“I don’t,” he replied.
