CHAPTER 301: CHAPTER 288: YOU WON’T HURT ME

Xiaobai’s face changed instantly upon seeing the earring.

Suddenly, he remembered a night.

His master had abruptly released him and took out an earring, telling him.

The owner of this earring was a cunning and deceitful woman from the Human Clan. Although she was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, she was an accomplice in killing his parents. He must never let her off if he saw the woman holding this earring!

Xiaobai’s complexion shifted slightly as he coldly asked, "Is this earring yours? Are you currently at the Foundation Establishment stage of Cultivation?"

There was nothing to hide, so Ye Xiaoxiao immediately responded, "I was fortunate to reach the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and soon, I will be able to join those Sects. Xiaobai, trust me, I have the ability to protect you."

Xiaobai’s expression grew colder.

Indeed, this was the cunning and deceitful woman that his master had spoken of!

This woman was truly deep and calculating!

Had she not taken out the earring herself, he would have almost been deceived.

Xiaobai said coldly, "I’ll ask you once more, this earring, is it really yours? If it’s yours, why would you say that the other earring is on me?"

Ye Xiaoxiao wiped the corners of her eyes, "Xiaobai, do you really not remember? Rest assured, I will certainly make you remember. That day, to draw away the pursuers, I had no choice but to leave. Before leaving, I placed one earring on you."

Xiaobai had no recollection at all, and he also remembered Lin Tiantian’s reminder. However, looking at Ye Xiaoxiao’s tearful pity-inducing appearance, he suddenly felt a piercing sense of compassion.

He reached out his paw, subconsciously wanting to wipe away Ye Xiaoxiao’s tears.

But then, remembering that Lin Tiantian was listening inside, and considering that this woman could very likely be the accomplice who killed his parents, he suddenly jolted to his senses.

Grinding his teeth, Xiaobai said, "So you’re saying, it was you who saved me? This earring, is it a token of your rescue?"

Ye Xiaoxiao hurriedly spoke up, "That’s right. Xiaobai, it was me who brought you here that time. Back then, someone had occupied this cave, and I asked her to open the door to save us, but she refused. Seeing the pursuers getting closer, I had no choice but to lead them away alone. So you could recognize me later, I deliberately left an earring on you. Just like this one, exactly the same."

Ye Xiaoxiao frantically waved the earring in her hand.

Xiaobai furrowed his brows.

The woman’s story was very detailed; it didn’t sound like a lie.

But if what she was saying wasn’t a lie, then could the person lying be...

Xiaobai remembered Lin Tiantian’s indifferent face and shuddered suddenly.

Ye Xiaoxiao bit her lip and suddenly said, "I understand now! It must be your current master! Xiaobai, I’ve thought it over carefully, and it’s very possible she was the person in the cave that day who left us to die. Afterwards, when she came out and saw you gravely injured, she took advantage of your vulnerability to contract you. That earring must have been hidden by her. Xiaobai, your master is definitely not a good person, don’t be deceived by her!"

In the cave.

Shi Nian raised an eyebrow.

That night, after learning about the earring, she had purposely made arrangements in advance.

She wanted to test something.

The bond between the female and male leads can sometimes change.

Is it possible to go from lovers to enemies?

If so, she wondered whether the male lead’s aura was greater or the female lead’s was.

Shi Nian couldn’t help but continue watching.

At this moment, doubts were beginning to rise in Xiaobai’s heart, but he knew all too well that under the master-servant contract, he had no leeway to resist.

Hearing what Ye Xiaoxiao said, no matter what he thought, he still shouted angrily, "I won’t believe your nonsense. The master said that when my parents met with disaster, you were an accomplice. You’d better leave here immediately, otherwise, I will never spare you."

In the mansion.

Shi Nian laughed.

It seems that some things really cannot be changed.

Even with the preconceived notions she had instilled in him, when the male lead met the female lead, he would still subconsciously trust her.

Like now.

If Xiaobai truly believed what she and Tiantian had said before, he should be taking immediate action to avenge his parents, not telling Ye Xiaoxiao to leave as soon as possible.

But why would Ye Xiaoxiao leave?

She looked at Xiaobai with tear-filled eyes: "Xiaobai, please, believe me. Your master must be a bad person. She just coveted your talent, wanting to enslave you. Let’s leave now; as long as we get far enough away, far enough that the contract cannot take effect, then you will be able to gain your freedom."

Ye Xiaoxiao reached out and took the initiative to grab Xiaobai’s paw.

Xiaobai’s expression grew even uglier.

If it were any other contract, that might have been fine.

But the one he signed with Lin Tiantian was a master-servant pact.

Forget about going far away, even if he fled to the ends of the earth, just at the thought of Lin Tiantian, he would be dissipated soul and scattered spirit.

However, for some reason, Xiaobai didn’t want Ye Xiaoxiao to know that his life and death hung by someone else’s fleeting thoughts. He coldly shrugged off Ye Xiaoxiao: "If you don’t leave, I’m going to take action against you!"

Ye Xiaoxiao didn’t let go: "Xiaobai, I know you would never harm me!"

Xiaobai indeed did not inexplicably want to harm Ye Xiaoxiao.

But as he hesitated, a sudden severe pain erupted in his mind, causing Xiaobai’s face to drastically change.

It was the master.

The master was dissatisfied with his behavior and was punishing him.

"Xiaobai!" Ye Xiaoxiao still looked at him with tearful eyes.

But the intense pain in his head left Xiaobai with little capacity to think.

Although he inexplicably wanted to get close to this woman, after all, they had just met and, compared to his own suffering, let her suffer instead.

Xiaobai grit his teeth and suddenly swung his paw.

He had recuperated for a while, and now he had recovered to the Golden Core Stage of Cultivation.

Although it was just a light swipe of his paw, Ye Xiaoxiao at the mere Foundation Establishment Stage let out a scream and was sent flying.

She spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

Xiaobai looked on, and for some reason, felt a bit of heartache.

Ye Xiaoxiao looked at him with tear-filled eyes: "You... you actually took action against me? But I don’t blame you, I know it’s all that woman’s fault. Xiaobai, you’ve just forgotten about me. When you remember, I will still be..."

Xiaobai shook his head forcefully, as he simply could not concentrate enough to listen to Ye Xiaoxiao speak, because Lin Tiantian’s punishment was still ongoing.

Suddenly, he understood.

The master was still dissatisfied with his handling of the situation.

Xiaobai looked at Ye Xiaoxiao, who kept talking nonstop, and for the first time, a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

He slowly approached Ye Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaobai, are you finally going to leave with me?" Ye Xiaoxiao was overjoyed.

Xiaobai raised his paw and struck down with force.

This time he did not hold back, and once struck, Ye Xiaoxiao would undoubtedly be dead.

The joy on Ye Xiaoxiao’s face gradually faded as she looked at him with some disbelief.

Was he going to kill her?

Was he actually going to kill her?

With no time to speak, Ye Xiaoxiao instantly used a Talisman, and her figure vanished on the spot.

"Instantaneous Movement Talisman." Lin Tiantian couldn’t help but click her tongue in wonder: "Senior Sister, who would have thought, this Loose Cultivator has quite a collection of treasures."

Shi Nian raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying.

After all, wasn’t she the female protagonist with ten points of Luck Value? How could she not have many treasures?

"Master, that woman’s presence has disappeared." At the cave entrance, the somewhat weak voice of Xiaobai rang out.

Lin Tiantian stopped her punishment, and said indifferently: "Then let it be for now. Come back."

Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief and quickly returned to the cave abode.
