A fair and delicate hand, with slender fingers like scallion stems and carefully manicured nails painted in bright red polish, was swiftly descending toward someone else’s face.
Daise tightly pressed her lips together, not even considering dodging. She could clearly sense that Yun Sisi’s magical power was several levels above hers. She was just a minor demon who had barely passed the transformation stage, while Yun Sisi was already at the level of a great demon.
So, there was no way she could avoid Yun Sisi’s strike! As Yun Sisi swung her hand toward her, Daise resignedly shut her eyes tightly and instinctively shrank her head downward.
But the expected pain never came…
Daise cautiously opened one eye and saw that the hand that had been so determined to strike her was now frozen in midair, just a fist’s distance from her face.
Yun Sisi glared furiously at the person who had suddenly stopped her.
At that moment, Yun Qingxue stood there in a plain white nightgown, her glossy black hair cascading down her back. Her skin, illuminated by the glow of the night pearls lighting the room, shimmered with a pearl-like soft radiance. Her eyes, in particular, seemed to hold a pool of autumn water bathed in moonlight, their shimmering brilliance surpassing the luster of any jewel in the world.
The beauty under the night’s glow was even more enchanting than in daylight—exquisite and languid.
Yun Sisi felt as though the sight of Yun Qingxue ignited a fire in her heart, burning hotter and hotter until it tore at her insides with unbearable pain!
How could this be? How could there possibly be a woman in this world more beautiful than her, Yun Sisi?!
With a forceful yank, Yun Sisi pulled back the hand Yun Qingxue had stopped—the same hand she had intended to strike with—and spat, “How dare you stop me?”
Her expression was furious, her tone accusatory.
Yun Qingxue regarded the enraged Yun Sisi with calm indifference and replied unhurriedly, “Miss Sisi, you barged into my room uninvited to strike my maid. Why shouldn’t I stop you?”
“She deserves it!” Yun Sisi gritted her teeth.
Yun Qingxue merely smiled faintly. “Even if she needs discipline, it’s not for outsiders to intervene.”
“You—!” Yun Sisi choked on her words, shaking the hand Yun Qingxue had just held. Then, in a commanding tone, she declared, “You—take your maid and move somewhere else!”
Yun Qingxue cast a cool glance at Yun Sisi, too disinterested to engage with this unreasonable woman. She was perfectly settled here, and now, in the dead of night, this woman was demanding she leave? Absolutely insane!
“It’s late. If you have nothing else, Miss Sisi, please leave,” Yun Qingxue said directly, issuing a clear dismissal.
Yun Sisi’s delicate brows shot up, her beautiful eyes glaring at Yun Qingxue as she snarled, “I told you to move out. Are you deaf?!”
“I heard you,” Yun Qingxue replied innocently.
“Then why aren’t you leaving?!” Yun Sisi snapped.
Yun Qingxue smiled faintly. “Hearing and obeying are two different things. Also, I’d like to rest now. Miss Sisi, please leave.”
“How dare you speak to me like that! Do you even know who I am?!”
Yun Sisi stepped further into the room, blocking Yun Qingxue from closing the door.
Yun Qingxue frowned slightly. “I don’t know who you are, and frankly, I don’t care.”
A ruthless glint flashed in Yun Sisi’s eyes as she sneered, “From now on, you are forbidden to pester Brother Changxing. Do you hear me?!”
Yun Qingxue instantly understood. This woman was clearly one of Mo Changxing’s admirers—and had mistaken her for a rival. No doubt, Yun Sisi had seen Mo Changxing escort her back and had come looking for trouble.
How utterly… ridiculous!
“Who you like is your business, but please don’t treat every woman in the world as your imaginary rival, alright?” Yun Qingxue rolled her eyes.
Yun Sisi frowned, clearly unconvinced. “Are you saying you don’t like Brother Changxing?”
“That’s my business. I don’t owe you an explanation,” Yun Qingxue replied coolly, her patience wearing thin. This woman had barged in in the middle of the night, spouting nonsense—what kind of lunacy was this?
“You still like Brother Changxing!” Without a definitive answer, Yun Sisi’s gaze grew even more domineering and venomous. “I forbid you to like him! Do you hear me?!”
“I heard you. Now, can you leave?” Not wanting to waste any more time on Yun Sisi’s theatrics, Yun Qingxue gave a dismissive response.
But Yun Sisi showed no signs of backing down. Instead, she lifted her chin haughtily and declared, “You’re the one who should leave!”
Seriously?!
Yun Qingxue’s temper flared. This woman was absolutely deranged! A complete lunatic!
The night breeze whispered softly, the moonlight pure and the stars glittering. The night pearls in the room cast a gentle glow, but the room’s owner stood at the doorway, locked in a standoff.
“This is my room,” Yun Qingxue said, her expression now icy.
“Not anymore. Move somewhere else. If you have nowhere to go, I’ll generously let you and your maid stay in my room!” Yun Sisi spoke in a tone of condescension, as though she weren’t seizing Yun Qingxue’s room but rather bestowing charity upon homeless beggars.
