A man was actually hiding in the middle of the
lake! Jennie was shocked. She had been coming
here for so long, but she was clueless about it.
Although she no longer had her previous body's strength, she was still sharp, and her eyesight still excellent.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to take care of Song Lian and his two other companions by herself just now.
This man must be very strong.
"is this your territory?" she asked cautiously.
The water rippled. Jennie could vaguely see a tall figure coming out of the water.
His silhouette could be seen through a veil of white mist. Straight shoulders, a broad back, and a curvy figure were vaguely hidden by the lake.
Jennie gripped her hairpin tightly as she continued to stare. She had just been reborn; she didn't want to die again.
A low laugh came out of nowhere.
"Do l look that good?"
A gust of wind dispersed the white mist. That man's figure became clearer. It seemed that he was keen to meet her face to face.
Jennie sneered inwardly. She had seen worse. Why should she be intimidated by this?
"I can't get a qood look with the mist in our way. Let me take a closer look; I can give you my answer then."
The flowing mist came to a sudden stop. The man probably didn't expect a young lady like her to talk in this manner.
"If you are really that keen, I will be happy to
oblige. However, I'm worried you'll stab me with
your hairpin before you've seen more." He didn't
seem annoyed because there was laughter in his
voice.
Jennie remained silent. The man was strong, smart, and definitely not easy to deal with. He had fiqured out her intentions with one glance. She wouldn't face such a person head-on when dealing with them.
She simply rolled her eyes, pulled her hair back, and calmly inserted the hairpin into her bun smoothly.
"My apologies. I didn't know this was your territory. I thought there was nobody until intruded. I hope you will forgive me for my intrusion."
The man was silent for a moment.
"There's no need for that." His voice sounded
distant.
Jennie was flabbergasted. Was he letting her off this easily? Her mind was so confused that she didn't say anything.
"The water in Lake Bibo may be good for health, but your meridian points are blocked. It's better if you don't stay for so long." The man stood up and made his way to the shore as soon as he said that. In a flash, he was done dressing.
Jennie could barely make out his silhouette despite the white mist. She could still see the man's figure. Indeed, it was a really good one.
She, too, wore her clothes with haste without feeling embarrassed and left. This was not a man to be trifled with.
Before she could take a step, the man's voice rang behind her.
"Young lady, I have no wish to pursue this matter, but I have to know who has intruded into my territory today." The tone of his voice was smooth, but it carried a hint of a superior person's
irrefutable nobility.
Are his words meant to intimidate me into telling him my name? Jennie turned around. A man was standing not too far away from her.
She held her breath.
When she was a princess, she saw countless talented and handsome young men. Her fiancé,
Jongin Kim, was also the most handsome man in Tianling Dynasty.
Nevertheless, she couldn't help but feel amazed when she first laid her eyes on this Man.
He had a pair of saber-like eyebrows which slanted into his temples, a straight nose, and sparkling eyes. Even the most beautiful starry night sky couldn't compare to those deep eyes. One glance at those eyes was enough to make one crazy and sink into its light.
His scarlet lips were lightly pressed together into a flawless radian, which appeared thin. However, the bead in the middle of one of his lips made them look redder. His eyes were the cleanest starry night in the world, while his lips were the most ambiguous spring color in the world. He was pure yet mysterious. He was elegant and noble, like an
impenetrable contradictory form that seemed t
drive one crazy as it attracted all the attention.
Jennie sized him up, and a word came into her mind-Demon!
"Jennie Kim." She had no intention of hiding her identity. After all, he looked like a man of many means. Lying would only cause more problems.
The man stood across her and stared, but his
gaze was like the moonlight as his eyes lightly grazed past her. They finally remained fixed on her face.
"Let's forget about this since Leo was the one who let you in." Leo? Is it that white lion?
The man suddenly stepped forward and
attention.
The man suddenly stepped forward and say anything, he told her, "You should go".
Jennie pursed her lips. She might not know what he was up to, but she had a feeling that there was another battle to be fought when she returned to the Kim family.
"Thank you"
It wasn't until the young girl's slender figure completely disappeared into the forest that Lisa
finally withdrew his gaze and glanced at the white lion.His warm and friendly demeanor dimmed a
few notches.
"Did you betray your master to get into her good graces?" The white lion was motionless.
"if you pretend to be dead, I will tell her your
other name is Hua Hua when I see her the next
time."
Roar!
The white lion suddenly stood up. Its name was
Xue Hua [Snowflakel, not Hua Hua! It would be
so embarrassing if others came to know about
this.
"The Imperial City should be quite crowded
these days, so l'll leave you to it." Leo's eyes lit up.
The atmosphere in the Kim family's hall was
tense.
Anxiety was written all over JaeHee's face.
He paced around uneasily while looking out
nervously.
"Jennie has been gone for the whole day. It's
already evening. Why isn't she back yet? First Elder, we should send a search party out quickly."
What should they do if something happened to
her? Jennie was completely defenseless. First Elder, Kim HyunBin, sipped his tea and told him nonchalantly.
"JaeHee, stop fretting. This isn't the first time she has gone out. What could happen? Perhaps, she was having so much fun that she simply forgot the time."
JaeHee was extremely anxious, but he knew
they wouldn't agree to his request. It's getting dark. Jennie wouldn't be so insensible. She should be back by now.
"I will search for her myself!" He went out alone without waiting for them.
The Third Missy, Krystal Kim, came dressed in a yellow dress. She had a pretty face. She respectfuly bowed before saying with a whimper,
"First Elder, I know that my sister hasn't come back yet, so I shouldn't bother you. B-but... there is something that l don't dare to hide my things have been stolen." First Elder frowned.
"What happened?" Tears began to well up in Krystal's eyes.
"I invited my sister to my room this morning, wanting to give her some money so she could buy something for herself when she went out. However, when I checked earlier, all the money and jewelry my parents gave me were missing." JaeHee barked.
"What are you trying to say? Are you implying that Jennie is the thief?"
Krystal cried harder. Aggrieved, tears fell from her eyes.
"I didn't mean that... How could I accuse my
sister? However, she was the only one who has gone into my room today." First Elder squinted his eyes.
"Perhaps... she stole Krystal's money and ran away? How dare she!" JaeHee was about to argue when he heard the announcement.
"Big Missy is back!"
Everyone in the hall froze
A tear had been lingering at the corner of Krystal's eye as she concealed her disbelief.
How? Jennie should be...
A petite silhouette approached against the
light.
"First Elder must be joking. As the Kim family's eldest daughter, I have a share of all the family's assets. Why would I steal my sister's money and betray my family?"
Jennie walked into the hall with a smile, but it made Krystal quiver.
"Am I right, Sister?"
