Chapter 179: Visiting
“You wouldn’t understand.”
Su Yan sighed. So what if her status was noble? His senior sister was no worse than her!
And one had feelings, the other didn’t. He was being forced. It was only right for him to be depressed.
Thinking of his senior sister, Su Yan’s expression darkened. He was very worried. After such a long time, his senior sister must have returned long ago.
Finding that he was not there, how worried would she be? He really cared!
These past few days, Su Yan had not given up hope and had wanted to sneak away from here.
But the fox clan had many experts. It was simply impossible to get out. And he couldn’t even get past the first hurdle, let alone what came next.
“Why are you sighing, my lord?”
The fox-eared girl was a little puzzled.
“Isn’t it because of you?”
Su Yan said irritably. Although she was not the main culprit, the one who had made him despair was precisely this maid.
Who could have imagined that this fox-eared girl, who was so obedient to him, was actually a Nascent Soul expert? With his little bit of strength, he couldn’t even get past the maid. Just thinking about it made him feel hopeless.
Su Yan said no more. He was so depressed that he didn’t even eat lunch and instead focused on cultivating.
He had ended up in such a situation all because his strength was insufficient. As long as he continued to become stronger, it would be fine. But…
“This speed is too slow!”
Su Yan felt the almost imperceptible increase in the spiritual energy in his body, and his mood became even more depressed.
He was used to the feeling of becoming stronger quickly. Now, for him to cultivate honestly, it was really hard to accept. But without his senior sister by his side, he couldn’t do the system’s missions. Could it be that he had to be intimate with other women? Of course, that was impossible!
“Sigh, I’m so tired!”
Su Yan sighed.
And so, the days passed one by one.
Su Yan lived a life that was called a guest, but in reality, was imprisonment.
The room the fox clan had arranged for him was very large, filled with exquisite furniture. But the huge room was only occupied by himself. The empty room made Su Yan feel very unaccustomed to it.
“And me!” the fox-eared girl said with a dazed expression.
Su Yan was really speechless. Although he had told himself again and again that it was useless to be angry, being imprisoned here, it was inevitable that anger would arise in his heart.
Now, his situation was undoubtedly very dangerous. He had fallen into the hands of others. What if the little fox suddenly wanted to do that to him?
Although he didn’t mind and wouldn’t go so far as to seek death, if his senior sister found out, their relationship would probably be over.
At this thought, Su Yan cursed in his heart. This damn world was simply too bizarre. Why were men like little wives, being snatched by others wherever they went?
If it were his previous world, no matter how beautiful a man was, he would not have encountered such a thing.
Su Yan was holding in his anger. He lay by the window and looked at the scenery in the distance, in a daze. But after just sitting for a while, he felt his body grow a little cold.
Counting the time, it was already winter.
If he were still on Heavenly Water Peak, and it snowed one day, he could enjoy the snow scene with his senior sister and do some simple and happy things. But now, it had all become a pipe dream.
“The weather is cold. Put on more clothes.”
Seeing Su Yan’s body shivering, the fox-eared girl took out a thick piece of clothing from the wardrobe and draped it over him.
This fox clan maid was very responsible. Except for the initial look of amazement, she had never shown that kind of expression again, which made Su Yan have a good impression of her.
“Thank you.”
Su Yan said softly.
The fox-eared girl shook her head, brought over some hot tea and a few plates of small snacks, and then stood back in her original spot.
Su Yan held the cup and slowly took a sip. He felt his body warm up and couldn’t help but show a comfortable expression.
But even if he was well taken care of, Su Yan would not want to stay here. At this moment, he was drinking tea while looking out of the house, thinking about how to get out.
Yes, Su Yan wanted to escape, and he had never given up on this idea.
Although the fox clan had many experts, was he just going to give up? That was impossible. How would he know if he could succeed if he didn’t try?
But before that, he had to get past the maid. But how? Su Yan still had no clue.
And so, a day passed, and a new day arrived. Someone knocked on the door to deliver a meal again.
Su Yan opened the door and looked at the person in surprise.
“Why is it you?”
It wasn’t the maid who came every day. The person who appeared before him was actually the charming young girl he had only met once.
“Is it strange that it’s me? I’m not like my stupid sister, who doesn’t cherish what she has after she gets it, to the point of neglecting you.”
Hu Xiaoya said with a smile, as if she were standing up for him. But the truth was not so.
Her sister and Su Yan had known each other for a long time, while she had just met him. This put her at a complete disadvantage. She had to say something to lower Su Yan’s affection for her.
And what was simpler than speaking ill of someone behind their back?
And so, hearing Hu Xiaoya’s words, a trace of displeasure flashed in Su Yan’s eyes.
These past few days, she hadn’t come to see him even once. Was her so-called liking just empty words?
Hu Xiaoya keenly captured the emotion that flashed in his eyes, and her mood immediately became pleasant.
Of course, she knew that it wasn’t that her sister didn’t want to come, but because she had run away from home for too long and was now catching up on her lessons.
But she knew these things, but others didn’t. This gave her an opportunity.
“What are you doing here?”
Su Yan asked curiously. As a little princess of the fox clan, did she have nothing to do? Why come to his place?
“Of course, I’m here to bring you food. Otherwise, you’ll go hungry.”
Hu Xiaoya said with a smile and clapped her hands lightly.
The fox-eared girl walked in, holding a tray in her hands, and placed the food on the table.
Su Yan noticed that there was a lot more food than usual, as if it were for two people.
“Are you going to eat with me?”
“It’s mealtime. Better to be early than to be on time. Don’t you welcome me?”
What “on time”? It’s clearly intentional!
Su Yan thought irritably in his heart, but he said, “Do as you please.”
This was their territory. How could he refuse casually? He didn’t know what this little princess was up to. He had to be on his guard.
At this thought, Su Yan picked up his chopsticks but did not make a move for a long time, because he was afraid that the food had been drugged, for example, with something that would make his whole body hot.
Hu Xiaoya did not know what Su Yan was thinking. She looked at him with an expectant expression but found that he was staring at her without blinking.
“What are you looking at me for? Eat!”
“I don’t have an appetite. You should eat first.”
Su Yan said coldly. Hu Xiaoya did not move her chopsticks, which made him even more suspicious.
Hu Xiaoya was a little strange, but she understood after a moment’s thought.
