Chapter 483: Chapter 483: Chewing the Tongue Chapter 483: Chapter 483: Chewing the Tongue “Your words just reminded me,” she said.
Concubine Sun strode forward with a menacing gleam in her eyes.
“What… what… what are you going to do?”
Concubine Sun’s face was fierce, and Madam Xie felt chills in her heart as she retreated step by step.
“Didn’t you say that if I hit you, you’d have Xuexue, that wretched girl, come after me to settle the score? Now if I kill you, let’s see how that dead girl Xuexue is going to come after me,” Concubine Sun sneered, her eyes fierce as she steadily advanced towards Madam Xie.
“You better not do anything rash. Murder is punishable by death.”
“Punishable by death?” Concubine Sun’s face was sinister, “If no one knows I killed you, then there’s no need to pay with my life, right, hehehe…!”
With that, she burst into a crazed, chilling laughter.
Madam Xie’s legs gave way and she slumped to the ground.
Xuexue and Big Bull hadn’t been in the mountains for long.
Xuexue’s eyelids began to twitch incessantly, as if something was about to happen.
“Big Bull, what’s the date today?”
“May 3rd of the 18th year of the Qianqing era.”
“May 3rd of the 18th year of the Qianqing era?” Xuexue muttered to herself, thinking hard, trying to recall what had happened on this date in her past life.
Suddenly, she shivered, threw down the basket on her back, and turned to run down the mountain.
“Wife, what’s wrong?” Big Bull was baffled as Xuexue ran off inexplicably.
“My mother is in danger. I must hurry back.”
Xuexue ran without looking back, falling several times only to get up and continue running, consumed with regret for having let her guard down these past days; she had forgotten such an important date. In her past life, today was the day Concubine Sun had killed her foster mother. She had to rush back and prevent the tragedy.
Big Bull frowned deeply at Xuexue’s frantic state, wondering what could be so serious to make her disregard her own safety and charge down the mountain. If she wasn’t careful, she could fall off a cliff and lose her life.
Big Bull used his Qinggong, leaping beside Xuexue in a few bounds, scooping her up in his arms, “Wife, are you trying to get yourself killed running down the mountain ?”
They were deep in the mountains, surrounded by dense forests.
“Let me go. I have an emergency,” Xuexue struggled, trying to get off Big Bull.
“What exactly happened? Tell me, and I’ll take care of it for you.”
“My mother, she’s in danger.”
“Wife, you must be out of your mind with worry. When we left, your mother was perfectly fine at home. How could she be in danger now?”
“Concubine Sun is trying to harm her.”
“How do you know that?” Big Bull looked at Xuexue, her face full of urgency, feeling puzzled.
“Oh! I can’t explain right now, just let me down. I need to rush home. If I’m too late, my mother’s life will be at risk,” Xuexue said desperately, but Big Bull just wouldn’t let her go.
“Since you insist on going down the mountain, I’ll take you. It’s too dangerous for a girl to run down the mountain like that,” Big Bull said.
With that, he applied force to his feet, holding Xuexue as he leapt onto the treetops, his body light as a feather, flying down towards the base of the mountain.
Xuexue felt the wind whistling past her ears, so fierce she could barely open her eyes.
This was the first time Big Bull had displayed his supreme Qinggong in the mountains, and it shook Xuexue to the core.
She vowed to herself that she would learn this incredible Qinggong one day, for it was a great skill for either escaping or saving lives.
Soon, the two of them reached the foot of the mountain.
Since it was daytime and many villagers were on the road, it wasn’t appropriate for an unmarried couple to be embracing in broad daylight. Big Bull, wary of the gossiping busybodies, put Xuexue down.
“Big Bull, I’m afraid we’re running out of time. Don’t worry about me, just get to the house as fast as you can,” Xuexue said urgently as her feet touched the ground.
