Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Mu Qingxue: Burning Pain from a Beating! (Please Follow)

On the other side.

After leaving Xiao Ye, Jie Gangtai’s originally gloomy eyes were rekindled with splendor.

His life had once again found purpose, found faith!

That was: to always guard by Mu Qingxue’s side, without disturbing her life, doing everything in his power to solve her worries and problems!

Having figured this out, Jie Gangtai felt a weight lifted and strode cheerfully down the main road.

When two patrol teams approached from a distance, he greeted them with a happy face.

The patrol captain just happened to be there. The two captains glanced at each other, each taking Jie Gangtai’s shoulder from one side, teasingly said:

"Little Tai, what are you up to?"

"Right, you look so happy. Surely it can’t be that you’re off to do something delightful!"

There was an insinuation in their words.

Jie Gangtai was baffled: "What?"

He was puzzled. What business did they think he was up to that he himself was unaware of?

"Little Tai is shy!"

"We’re all brothers here, no need to be secretive. Who is she, spill it!"

"Exactly, we saw you shopping."

"Hehe, has Little Tai finally come to his senses and decided to stop being a whipped dog?"

The two captains were like brothers with Jie Gangtai in the City Lord Mansion, very familiar with each other, often joking around. They exchanged glances, the corners of their mouths curling up with amusement, as they each reached out to check Jie Gangtai’s pockets.

But they found nothing—empty!

Jie Gangtai finally understood what they were getting at. In the shopping market earlier, he had been in such a hurry that he didn’t notice anyone else.

He brushed away the two hands rifling through his pockets and said, "Enough, stop searching, you won’t find anything. I’ve already taken care of it!"

???

The two captains were filled with question marks. It had been less than ten minutes since then!

"Who is that person who has Little Tai so smitten?"

"If you’re a brother, just tell us. There’s nothing to hide."

They questioned Jie Gangtai, holding him in place.

Jie Gangtai realized he probably wouldn’t be able to leave today without giving them an answer. He felt there was nothing to hide, so he began to speak: "It’s a guy, but don’t ask who exactly."

They were both shocked—it was a guy!

Jie Gangtai took the opportunity to slip away; he still had to prepare medicinal cuisine because Xue Er would surely be bullied by Xiao Ye tonight and might end up like last time, unable to even stand.

He needed to get the medicinal cuisine ready and steamed before morning, so he could bring it to Xue Er first thing.

Hmm, bringing just one serving might upset Qingxue; better bring two! One for her and one for Xiao Ye.

Watching Jie Gangtai’s retreating figure with his chest puffed out proudly, the two captains’ heads buzzed while lost in thought.

We thought you’d become savvy, deciding not to be a whipped dog anymore, yet you’ve chosen an even more wicked path!

Better to be a whipped dog than take that evil path!

In the villa of the City Lord’s daughter, the second subterranean level of the training room.

"Ah! Why, even when using the Secret Technique, I still can’t beat you!"

Mu Qingxue covered her little bum with shame and indignation.

She’d been battling Xiao Ye for several minutes, but each of her attacks was perfectly dodged by him.

Each time, Xiao Ye would hit hard on her pert Skin Drum.

By now, Mu Qingxue felt a burning pain wave after wave.

Xiao Ye clapped his hands and stepped out of the training room, saying, "Why? Because you’re too weak, that’s why. Feel free to come down to spar with me anytime."

Xiao Ye spent the night there.

The next morning, as they had just gotten up,

a knock sounded at the door.

"It must be my mother calling me." Mu Qingxue ran to open the door, only to be greeted by the sight of Jie Gangtai.

Jie Gangtai glanced toward the villa and actually spotted Xiao Ye’s figure.

He smiled and handed over the two boxes of medicinal meals he had just cooked, saying:

"Xue Er, you’ve been quite weak these past few days, haven’t you? I’ve prepared healing meals for you, one for each of you and Xiao Ye, take them."

Mu Qingxue stepped back and pushed the medicinal meals back, "I appreciate the thought, but you can drink them yourself."

Jie Gangtai’s face showed difficulty.

Xiao Ye came out and greeted this affectionate ’licking dog’ with respectful eyes, willingly accepting the medicinal meals and laughed, "I’ll accept them on her behalf. She really does need to nourish her body."

Mu Qingxue pouted, "You’re the one who needs nourishment, not me."

Xiao Ye received the items, so it would not be good for her to have them returned.

Jie Gangtai showed gratitude, "Brother Xiao, you must make sure Xue Er drinks it. I expended a lot of effort to get these medicinal meals."

Xiao Ye nodded, "No problem."

Jie Gangtai was very grateful, "Brother Xiao, you’re a good man."

"The medicinal meals are delivered, I won’t disturb your time together then, goodbye."

Watching the retreating figure, Xiao Ye felt he had a caring heart.

After closing the door, they both returned to the living room.

Standing by the table, Mu Qingxue stood with a stern face, "You drink it yourself, I won’t! Jie Gangtai has been sending me things lately, and I don’t need them!"

Xiao Ye didn’t have her affectation. He opened the lid and drank it directly.

He drank it quite enjoyably, a look of pleasure appearing on his face.

Mu Qingxue snorted, "Hmph, it’s just medicinal meals, how good can they taste?"

In a bit of competitiveness, she sat down heavily on a hard chair.

"Hisss!!" Mu Qingxue’s beautiful eyes widened in pain, inhaling sharply, bouncing up as if by reflex.

Disaster! The skin drum had swollen from Xiao Ye’s beating yesterday, and it hadn’t recovered overnight. Sitting down on it was almost tormenting her to death.

"Slurp slurp!" Xiao Ye was enjoying his drink, and the sound carried over.

Standing on the floor, Mu Qingxue’s barely-there chest heaved with anger, "You jerk, it’s all your fault. I can’t even sit down properly, and the Ye Family people are visiting today, how am I going to face them!"

Xiao Ye glanced at her, pointed to the medicinal meal in front of her, and with a hooked corner of his mouth said:

"This medicinal meal has a great recovery effect."

Mu Qingxue swallowed a mouthful of saliva, internally struggling. She wanted to drink it!

But seeing Xiao Ye’s teasing eyes, she exploded, "Ah, you jerk, you just enjoy laughing at me, don’t you! Like I said, I won’t drink it. I would rather die than drink it."

Xiao Ye wiped his mouth, tossed the empty medicinal meal jar, and got up, saying, "I’m going to pee, I won’t peek, someone who wants to drink can just drink."

Xiao Ye could tell, not only was she proud in character, but she was also tsundere, stuborn to the core for the sake of face.

Seeing Xiao Ye entering the restroom, Mu Qingxue’s pretty face turned red.

"You’re going to the toilet then just go, why tell me."

Yet her skin drum still throbbed with intensity, and longing eyes gazed at the medicinal meal on the table.

"Maybe just one sip."

"Yeah, one sip doesn’t count as really drinking it, right?"

She quickly opened the medicinal meal jar and started drinking.

After one gulp, her stomach started making gurgling noises.

"One sip is no different than three, it’s still not considered me drinking it."

Mu Qingxue found a reason to convince herself, gulping down the drink and within seconds, without holding back, she drank more than half.

Looking at the nearly empty medicinal meal, her pretty face blushed.

"Oops, I drank too much!"

"Well, since I’ve already drunk it, might as well finish it. I’ll just seal the jar afterward, Xiao Ye won’t find out!"

She decisively finished the medicinal meal, then swiftly covered the jar, sealing it tightly.

After putting the medicinal meal back in its place, Mu Qingxue touched her belly, somewhat lingeringly stuck out her tongue, and licked her lips.

Xiao Ye returned to the living room, directly threw the medicinal meal jar into the trash, and walked out, "The Ye Family people will be here soon, let’s go to the City Lord Hall."

Mu Qingxue followed behind him, her little head wondering, does he know I drank it?
