C5 Retaliation

Half an incense stick of time later, Xia Yiyi found the Xia family's woodshed. Through the woodshed window, she saw Xia Yue's miserable appearance with his hands and feet tied up, pitifully sitting on the haystack.

An anger rose from her chest, Xia Yiyi felt that if she continued to endure this, she would explode.

"System, exchange a lighter and some kerosene." Xia Yiyi ordered coldly.

The mechanical voice of the system appeared in his mind, "Please wait for a moment before exchanging … A total of one tael of silver has been deducted. "

With a 'whoosh', Xia Yi opened the door to the woodshed and walked in.

"Who?" Xia Yue struggled to open his eyes, as if he wanted to clear the person in front of him.

However, although the door was wide open, there was no one inside.

Xia Yue blinked and whispered, "Is it father?"

This was a reminder to Xia Yiyi, who quickly answered with a 'yea'.

Xia Yue opened his eyes wide with a look of pleasant surprise, "I knew father wouldn't abandon Yue'er!"

Xia Yiyi thought for a moment, then continued to imitate Xia Zhi's voice, "Yue'er, you heard father say that your sister saw that you weren't at home and was looking for you everywhere. Father cut the rope for you, so go back, okay?"

"Alright," Xia Yue nodded as if he didn't really understand. In the end, he seemed to have thought of something and muttered, "Father, the instant noodles that big sister left for me has also been snatched away. You have to help me get it back!"

Xia Yiyi agreed and cut the rope with a firewood knife.

Xia Yue looked in Xia Yi's direction and asked tentatively, "Father, I just met you, can I hug you?"

Xia Yiyi's beautiful face lost all color as she hurriedly controlled the voice modulator and said in a stern voice, "No."

"Oh." The little guy immediately withered.

Xia Yiyi helplessly coaxed him gently, "If you come over, father will disappear again."

Xia Yue pursed his lips, took another glance at the room, and then left in accordance to Xia Yiyi's instructions.

After Xia Yue left, Xia Yiyi retracted her gaze.

Next up, it's your turn.

Xia Yiyi quickly poured some oil onto the haystack and ignited it. As she did so, the fire rose in an instant and slowly rose to the roof.

"Oh no!" Master, you've gone astray! "

Mrs Zhao's scream came from inside the room. The two of them got off the bed, both carrying buckets of water and started to put out the fire. However, the fire only grew bigger and bigger.

"Hey, woman, look inside, is that a cigarette?" Charlie trembled.

The Zhao Family was at a loss for words. "Seems to be so …"

It was actually smoke, or smoke formed from the fire. However, in an instant, the interior of the house was once again lit up by flames. Flames were everywhere.

Mrs Zhao let out a shrill cry as she slumped to the ground.

It was Charlie who kicked her back to her senses, "Why are you still sitting there? Quick, put out the fire! "

Only then did Mrs Zhao stand up, carrying the water with her in a sorry state.

The fire had finally died down, but there was nothing left of the original living room.

With anger in his heart, Xia Li couldn't help but kick Mrs Zhao again.

Mrs Zhao's lips trembled. She did not hide but muttered something to herself.

"What are you talking about?" Charlie looked disgusted.

"Yes, it's that scumbag Xia Kui. He knew that I wanted to harm his child, so he came to take revenge on us!"

Xia Li angrily slapped him, "Xia Ye died a long time ago, I think you're scared silly, you're talking nonsense!"

"No, listen, listen."

Charley listened.

A weak and eerie voice rang out, clearly the voice of Xia Tuoqian when he was still alive.

Could it be? Was there really a ghost?

Xia Li felt the hairs on his body standing on end. With a hoarse voice, he pulled Madame Li away and said, "Go, let's go quickly!"

"Where are you going?" A girl shouted.

Mrs Zhao looked closely and saw that this woman was no stranger. She was the same old procuress who had gone with her to capture Xia Yiyi.

Misfortunes come in pairs.

"You guys want to run even though you can't find much of a person. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?" The bawd glared at him with its majestic gaze.

"No, we're not trying to run, we're …" Mrs Zhao forced a smile, but did not dare to continue.

The old procuress sneered, "What is that? Is it that easy to swindle the money from the Ru Yi Market? "

The bawd waved her hand, and several strong men surrounded the two.

The old procuress took out her pipe and blew out a cigarette, "I won't be difficult for you. Give me the 30 taels of silver I gave you and fill in another 10 taels, then I'll let you off. What do you say?"

Mrs Zhao's face was filled with despair. Half of the silver that the old procuress had given to her had been taken by Xia Li to gamble with while the other half had married a wife for Xia Hui.

No, yes.

Yes.

That jade pendant!

The jade pendant that Chen Shao used as a betrothal gift!

"Wait a moment, I'll go get it." Mrs Zhao quickly turned her head and groped in the ruins.

After rummaging for a while, she finally found the jade box.

The small box was burnt to a crisp, but the jade was a good item and would not be destroyed by fire.

Mrs Zhao's face was full of joy as she opened the box, but …

The box fell out of her hand. She looked confused, "Where's the jade pendant?"

Mrs Zhao clenched her fists. Why is it gone?

"Did you find it?" The old procuress raised her head and asked coldly.

"No, no." Mrs Zhao replied with a tremble.

"Whap." The old procuress slapped her heavily in the face. "Heh …"

"Since you can't find the money, then bring your daughter and daughter-in-law here tomorrow," the old procuress said in a coquettish and cruel voice. "Come to my Ru Yi Market to pay your debt!"

A buzzing sound sounded out in Zhao's brain, and then everything went pitch black in front of her. This is all... What sin did he commit!?

The old procuress looked at the two of them coldly, told them to keep an eye on them, and got up to leave.

And following them was another person. An invisible person.

Xia Yi Yi indifferently watched as the farce ended. She wanted to leave as well, but a 'name' made her stop in her tracks.

"What did you say?" The old procuress came here to seek our misfortune, is it because of Chen Shao? " Charlie said in disbelief.

"That's right!" "You don't know, he brought a blind bear with him to the Ru Yi Square. Blind bear!" Yes, it was just that bear, not only were we unable to stop it, we even injured many people. There was no other way, the old procuress had no choice but to promise him, no matter what, she wouldn't do anything to Xia Yi Yi Yi, "another person echoed her words and continued," But you all know the character of our old procuress, so how could she be willing to lose so much face?

Chen Shao was the one helping her?

Xia Yi Yi was a little surprised. She couldn't help but think of the youth's handsome appearance. Even the curses from Xia Li and Mrs Zhao faded away.

That bottle of Snow Jade was truly worth it! Xia Yiyi thought happily as she walked home.

However, what she didn't know was that while the stealth skill was gradually losing its effect, there was still another person standing at the peak, watching her silently as she left.
