The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1485 - 1484: Swearing New Allegiance

Zhou Jie harbored murderous intent towards Yue Er.Since there are some people who cannot be silenced, the best solution is to make her unable to speak forever.

Yue Er was startled; only now did she realize her visit was indeed lacking in consideration and somewhat impulsive.

He wanted to kill her. Yue Er was no match for Zhou Jie; she would not find any favor in Zhou Jie's hands.

"Second young master, you want to kill me?"

Yue Er felt cold-hearted. If before she merely suspected Zhou Jie wanted to kill her, now she was certain her life would end today by Zhou Jie's hand.

Besides regret, Yue Er felt nothing else. She closed her eyes, recalling the helpless gaze of the snow-white Divine Beast, its eyes unwilling to leave the Divine Realm even as it was about to die, branded deeply on Yue Er's body like an imprint.

"In this lifetime, the only creature I killed was that snow-white giant. If I die today, let it be my compensation to it!"

The only creature I killed was that white giant?

Tang Rao crouched on the rooftop eavesdropping. He thought that the pure-looking woman was a Great Devil who killed without blinking; but at this moment, he felt this woman hadn't reached the point of deserving death. Being manipulated for love, the true culprit should be Zhou Jie.

While pondering, Zhou Jie had already pulled Yue Er into his hands, squeezing her throat. He only needed to exert a little force, and Yue Er would completely say goodbye to life.

"Very good, remember, betrayers and fools end like this. There are many like you before and after, don't think you're the first or the only one."

Zhou Jie's voice echoed like a nightmare in Yue Er's ears, but the force on his hands never actually came.

Actually, Zhou Jie released her, and Yue Er opened her eyes only to see Zhou Jie already collapsed on the ground.

"Second young master, second young master?"

Yue Er felt neither fear nor pity; she slapped Zhou Jie twice, yet he remained motionless. She slapped him again and still got no reaction, knowing these slaps were much harder than the previous ones.

Something was wrong.

Yue Er checked Zhou Jie's breathing and his neck's pulse; there was no breath, and no pulse from the carotid artery.

Zhou Jie's strange death made Yue Er panic.

This was the Zhou Residence; everyone in the house knew Yue Er went into Zhou Jie's courtyard. If anything happened to Zhou Jie, Yue Er would be the direct culprit. Would the Zhou Family spare Yue Er? It's obvious they wouldn't.

Smart as Yue Er was, she certainly wouldn't believe Zhou Jie died for no reason. There must be an expert watching beside her, someone who was still present, who killed Zhou Jie yet didn't kill Yue Er, proving Yue Er still had some value to the expert.

"I wonder what Yue Er can do for the expert?"

Yue Er knelt on the ground; being allowed to stay alive was already a grace from heaven.

Tang Rao held a piece of grass between his lips, sitting cross-legged on the roof edge, and at this moment, he hadn't used his Invisibility Technique.

"Stand up and speak. You seem like a sensible girl."

Tang Rao continued holding the piece of grass, dressed in groom's attire, yet still with a casual demeanor.

"May I ask what instructions the expert has?"

Yue Er didn't ask who Tang Rao was or where he came from. Her request for instructions showed she was an observant woman.

She really didn't disappoint Tang Rao.

"There are indeed instructions, but before that, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Tang Rao killed Zhou Jie, which didn't mean he would let Yue Er go or that the matter was over.

Yue Er was bewildered by Tang Rao's question; she didn't even know who he was, so how could she explain?

Wait, he was dressed in groom attire, looked young and handsome.

Yue Er suddenly remembered today's bridegroom at the Wang Mansion, who was also the Nine-Ding Snow Beast's owner.

If she guessed his identity correctly, the purpose of his visit to Zhou Jie Mansion shouldn't need guessing anymore.

Originally, Yue Er intended to stand up and speak. After guessing Tang Rao's identity, she didn't even dare to think about standing up and speaking again.

"Spare my life, spare my life, expert!"

Yue Er knelt, kowtowing for a long time, but still hadn't heard a word from Tang Rao.

She watched Zhou Jie collapse at her feet, believing this was certainly Tang Rao's doing. Zhou Jie's previous words to Yue Er, Tang Rao presumably heard as well. Not killing Yue Er proved Tang Rao was still giving Yue Er a chance. Facing such a wise man, if she wanted to survive, the only way was to tell the truth.

"You killed my Nine-Ding Snow Beast, didn't you?"

Tang Rao knowingly asked.

"Yes."

Yue Er did not rebut, evade, or explain; she answered whatever Tang Rao asked, showing an obedient and sensible demeanor.

"Why did you kill my Nine-Ding Snow Beast?"

While on the roof, Tang Rao had learned the reasoning.

"It was the second young master, no, Zhou Jie instructed me to do it. It was my fault; I was blinded by Zhou Jie's promises and didn't think straight, led by Zhou Jie and deceived by him."

Yue Er regretted deeply; Tang Rao's piercing question, she wished to avoid, yet he kept forcing her to answer.

"How do you intend to compensate me?"

The Nine-Ding Snow Beast was Tang Rao's, now brutally killed by Yue Er. It wasn't unfair for Tang Rao to ask her for compensation, was it?

Yet Yue Er's eyes widened: "What, expert, what compensation do you want from Yue Er?"

Purple Crystal? A person who can afford a Nine-Ding Snow Beast wouldn't lack Purple Crystal, right?

Does he want Yue Er?

It's not that Yue Er was modest; rather, Tang Rao's side had beauties far superior to Yue Er. If Yue Er offered herself, would he even care?

But if Yue Er didn't express her stance, adding or losing a person wouldn't matter to Tang Rao. He could easily make Zhou Jie die, and naturally make Yue Er unable to live.

"Whatever the expert wants, whatever he opens his mouth for, Yue Er will undoubtedly give her all. Please, expert, grant Yue Er a chance."

As she spoke, Yue Er knelt on the ground, her head buried even lower than before.

"Rest assured. Xiao Xue is dead, and the mastermind who killed Xiao Xue is also dead. If you were of no use to me, I wouldn't spare your life."

Tang Rao clearly informed Yue Er.

His purpose for keeping Yue Er was to use her. With Tang Rao openly stating Yue Er still had utility, she visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

At least for now, Tang Rao wouldn't harm her life.

Yue Er hastily kowtowed to Tang Rao, her survival after the ordeal: "Please expert, guide me. From now on, Yue Er will strictly obey the expert."

These words from Yue Er were equivalent to acknowledging a new master.
