Chapter 222: Chapter 220: A Completely Unconventional Play

Huang Ziyue looked at Xiao Ya, his gaze as cold as if he were looking at a dead person.

Xiao Ya couldn’t help but shudder under his intensely domineering gaze.

Following his line of sight, she saw it was the ugly man from the Flood Dragon Clan who had walked out.

She had noticed more than once that this man was as cold as a block of ice, with an aura even more powerful than her own master’s...

And whenever he looked at her, it made her blood run cold, as if his gaze carried an intense killing intent.

But she couldn’t understand why.

’I haven’t done anything out of line to this ugly man.’

’Could it be that he’s not right in the head?’

’Does he see everyone as an enemy?’

"You’re Xiao Ya, is that right?"

Just then, Shen Yue was already walking toward her.

She asked the question out of the blue, as if casually confirming her name.

Xiao Ya immediately replied:

"That’s right. My name is Xiao Ya."

The visible corner of Shen Yue’s eyebrow arched.

"You’ve said so much. May I ask, in what capacity are you questioning me?"

Xiao Ya’s expression instantly stiffened.

She clearly hadn’t expected Shen Yue to attack her so directly.

Shen Yue didn’t stop. A smile in her eyes, she glanced at Bai Chaosi and continued:

"Who are you to this Mr. Bai?"

"Hm? Why don’t you tell me first."

She walked to within two steps of Bai Chaosi, watching both of their reactions.

After her question was posed, Xiao Ya’s face froze for a moment before she turned a wronged look on the motionless Bai Chaosi standing beside her.

It was as if she was seeking his protection.

But from the moment Shen Yue had opened the door, Bai Chaosi’s gaze had been fixed on her.

It was like he was lost in his own world, showing no reaction at all.

Seeing this, Xiao Ya lifted her chin slightly.

"I am A Xi’s lover. Do I need to tell you again, Miss A Yue?"

"Didn’t A Xi tell you himself the day before yesterday? Or has Miss A Yue forgotten so quickly?"

Xiao Ya’s words were undoubtedly a reminder to Shen Yue of how cold and heartless Bai Chaosi had been to her in their courtyard the other day.

He had said with his own mouth that he didn’t remember her.

He had said the love of his life was Xiao Ya.

She was also telling her that her own status was personally acknowledged by Bai Chaosi, while she, Shen Yue, was nothing.

Just a has-been, forgotten by Bai Chaosi.

Shen Yue looked at the calculating confidence in Xiao Ya’s eyes, and the corner of her mouth curved slightly.

"Is that so?"

"Now that you mention it, I had forgotten. Indeed, that is what Mr. Bai said at the time."

Hearing this, Xiao Ya was a little confused about what she meant.

She paused, then turned her head to look at Bai Chaosi and said:

"So, Mr. Bai, you just finished pledging your undying love to the love of your life. What, then, is the meaning of turning around and spending the night wide awake, running to my courtyard to stand guard at my door like some guardian deity?"

"Did you suddenly remember something? Remember that she’s not your one true love? Or do you just have a penchant for eavesdropping?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Ya immediately grew nervous.

Her face paled as she looked at Bai Chaosi. ’Could A Xi really have remembered something?’

’Did he get his memories back?’

And at that moment, Bai Chaosi finally seemed to react.

His pupils reflected the image of Shen Yue’s smiling eyes, but the aura around him tightened inch by inch.

Shen Yue caught Xiao Ya’s nervous expression out of the corner of her eye, a smirk playing on her lips as she continued:

"Or perhaps you deliberately avoided sleeping in the same room as your lover, ran over to my place to freeze in the cold wind, made your lover misunderstand and get jealous, and then planned to blame me for doing something to hurt you, causing you to become dispirited and listless?"

Listening to her words, Xiao Ya looked back at Shen Yue.

For a moment, she was completely baffled.

’It feels like this woman, after all that, is ultimately targeting Bai Chaosi, not me!!’

’What is going on?’

’Shouldn’t she be fighting me for Bai Chaosi? Why is she pushing him away instead?’

Sure enough, as Bai Chaosi listened to Shen Yue’s words, a flash of pain appeared in his dark cyan eyes.

His already pale face now looked as if it had suffered a heavy blow.

It was as if a knife had been plunged into his heart, the pain leaving him powerless to retaliate.

But Shen Yue, seeing his reaction, had no intention of letting him off the hook. She continued in a serious tone:

"Mr. Bai, if that’s the case, then you’re being a bit immoral. It’s too malicious. You’re purely trying to give me a bad name! What am I supposed to do if you make Miss Xiao Ya hate me?"

She spoke as if it were all perfectly logical.

It was as if she were desperately trying to distance herself, unwilling to let Xiao Ya pin the blame on her.

"Anyone who didn’t know better would think I did something to you. You’d better hurry up and explain things properly to the love of your life."

"I certainly didn’t lure you to my courtyard. I slept very soundly with my Beast Husband last night and had no idea you were outside. Don’t you dare frame me!"

This move from Shen Yue was a brutal, point-blank assault.

It directly provoked Bai Chaosi so much that his body trembled.

Especially the phrase "I slept very soundly with my Beast Husband"—she enunciated every word with heavy emphasis, as if deliberately saying it for Bai Chaosi to hear...

It shattered Bai Chaosi’s psychological defenses in an instant.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ya also hadn’t expected this A Yue to have such a personality.

She was completely unpredictable.

It made her wonder for a moment if the relationship between this woman and Bai Chaosi was really what she had guessed.

’Or is it that this woman has no interest in Bai Chaosi at all, and instead, it’s Bai Chaosi who is desperately chasing after her?’

’But how is that possible? Bai Chaosi is the distinguished Nine-tailed White Fox Young Master. With such a noble status, how could he possibly chase after an ugly woman?’

’Or is there some kind of grudge between them?’

Shen Yue couldn’t care less what Xiao Ya thought. In any case, her guiding principle was to never waste energy on internal drama.

Anyone who made her uncomfortable had to be prepared to face her immediate retaliation.

’This Xiao Ya wants to play the righteous accuser, seeking justice for Bai Chaosi and using it as an excuse to pick a fight with me? She should have considered whether I’d fall for her little act.’

’She wants to score points with Bai Chaosi? Then she can’t blame me for sweeping Bai Chaosi out the door along with her!’

Besides, fighting and getting jealous over a man was never her style.

Her golden rule was to never live or die for a man.

She wouldn’t revolve around a man; men could only revolve around her.

If a man wanted to be with her, he had to learn to clean up his own messes, wipe his own ass, and come groveling to her on his own accord.

Otherwise, he could get lost.

If he wasn’t obedient, if he didn’t behave, then she’d just replace him.

Because, in her world, there was no "female competition." Any man who required her to compete for him wasn’t worthy of a second glance.

For example, if Huang Ziyue ever dared to bring some other women or an old flame into the picture someday...

She wouldn’t try to solve the problem, nor would she compete with the old flame. She would just get rid of Huang Ziyue himself!

Xiao Ya’s expression turned ugly.

She seemed to be trying to think of a counter-strategy while also waiting for Bai Chaosi’s reaction.

Meanwhile, Bai Chaosi’s gaze upon Shen Yue was filled with endless pain.

He remained silent, as if silently enduring the agony and grief in his heart.
