Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 1539 - 340. Hooking Up with the Devil (Second Update)

The pain shot through all ten fingers; Huai Hua’s arm trembled immediately as she exaggeratedly gasped for air: "Hiss!"

As expected, this sound indeed caught Xia Zheng’s attention.

"Hm? What happened?"

Hearing Xia Zheng inquire about her situation, Huai Hua endured the pain, immediately filled her eyes with tears, and pitifully raised her bleeding finger.

"Young Master, I—I cut my finger, not sure if there are any fragments inside, it hurts so much..."

Lin Yuan seemed not to notice Huai Hua’s attempt to seduce Xia Zheng with all her might, and continued to slowly savor the new tea that the attendant had just served.

The green tea leaves in the cup drifted gently, appearing extremely fragile under the impact of the hot water, as if waiting for someone to rescue them.

It’s a pity, the person whom the tea leaves hoped would rescue them was now watching coldly, even cruelly sipping the tea and making a faint sound of enjoyment.

"Tsk tsk!"

At this moment, Xia Zheng was playing the role of a cold observer who lacked compassion.

With a couple of tsk-tsks, Xia Zheng glanced at a drop of blood on the floor, his face full of disdain.

"This lord remembers, it was just now that this hand attempted to touch what belonged to me. However, I have decided to believe in Buddha today and not take any lives; I only spilled that teapot. Little did I expect, even the heavens cannot stand it and insisted on helping me out!"

Huai Hua was stunned; the teapot was overturned? No wonder the teapot cracked suddenly before, it was done by Xia Zheng!

But why?

Before she could understand why, Huai Hua was terrified to see a shard of porcelain from the ground flying towards her finger!

This piece of porcelain seemed many times sharper than the one she had deliberately used to cut her finger—it could have taken her finger off if it had made contact!

"Ah!"

Taken aback, Huai Hua screamed, hiding her hand behind her back while her body helplessly slid backwards, attempting to dodge the porcelain shard.

Unfortunately, it seemed like the shard had eyes, stubbornly not letting go.

She stared wide-eyed as the shard viciously stabbed into the tip of her shoe!

It hurt, it hurt so much!

This time, Huai Hua truly felt the pain; tears gushed from her eyes as if they didn’t cost anything.

However, when she regained her senses, she realized the pain wasn’t coming from her foot at all—it was her hand!

Frantically bringing her hand before her eyes, she saw blood gushing from the palm, almost turning it into a pit!

In her panic to move backward just now, she had carelessly pressed her palm onto the porcelain shard; no wonder it hurt so much!

"Hey, why are you scaring her? She’s just a young girl after all."

The voice of Lin Yuan came from above, slightly complaining, but Huai Hua could tell there was no sympathy in that tone.

Feeling wronged, pitiful, regretful, and various complex emotions of jealousy, resentment, and disgust surged up, making Huai Hua’s face extraordinarily expressive.

"Heh."

Xia Zheng seemed to scoff, but quickly reverted to his disdainful, nonchalant demeanor: "Isn’t this how I have always been? It would be problematic if I were suddenly compassionate!"

Just after he finished speaking, Xia Zheng raised his eyebrows closer to Lin Yuan, teasingly squinting his eyes: "Of course, except for you!"

Watching his suddenly magnified face so close before her eyes, Lin Yuan curled her lips, unable to suppress the smile at the corners of her mouth. This guy, always so domineering when speaking romantic words.

Glancing at Huai Hua who was sitting dumbly on the ground with her hands raised, Lin Yuan sighed in her heart, "Remember your place, do not covet what is not yours. Go out and clean up your wounds!"

This girl had ill intentions from the start, she saw her deliberately cutting her finger with the broken porcelain, naturally knowing the girl harbored feelings for Xia Zheng.

It was good for Xia Zheng to give her a little scare, and now she regretted having Xia Zheng use the beauty trap, it was wiser to keep her man firmly in her own hands.

Huai Hua, already scared out of her wits by the porcelain shards thrown by Xia Zheng, dared not fantasize about becoming a little concubine anymore, scrambling up from the ground and fleeing out the door.

Just as she exited, she ran into Shui Xian who had returned with clothes prepared for Qing Cheng’s Xue Ya.

Upon seeing her hands covered in blood, Shui Xian was shocked, and while chiding, she skillfully began to clean the wounds.

Despite Shui Xian often having sharp words, she was not mean-hearted. Previously still holding a grudge against Huai Hua and her mother for troubling the Yinxing Sisters, she couldn’t bear seeing her injured now.

Watching the bloodstains being cleaned gradually off her hands, Huai Hua cried even harder. She missed her mother, was regretful, she shouldn’t have tried to sell herself.

She had thought she could become Xia Zheng’s concubine, but now it seemed, that man was simply a demon, even more terrifying than Lin Yuan!

After Huai Hua left, Lin Yuan feigned anger, scolding Xia Zheng, "Didn’t we agree you would use the beauty trap? Why did you back out?"

Xia Zheng widened his eyes in surprise, "What backing out? Didn’t I use the beauty trap?"

It was now Lin Yuan’s turn to be puzzled, when did he use it? She didn’t remember.

Looking at her bewildered eyes, Xia Zheng chuckled, moved closer and wrapped his arms around her slender waist, his breath tickling her earlobe.

"You asked me to use the beauty trap, and I did, I even gave her a few glances! Isn’t that professional? But, did you forget something?"

The tickling made Lin Yuan involuntarily shrug her shoulders, dodging slightly, "What thing?"

"Hmm? I knew you forgot!"

Xia Zheng’s lips curled up, leaning forward and puckered his lips, saying, "You said it, as a reward for using the beauty trick, you need to kiss here."

Watching his lips so close in front of her, Lin Yuan felt both amused and annoyed, leaning so far back she was nearly falling.

She tried to push him away, but this guy had anticipated her unwillingness to comply, his hands already gripping hers tightly, rendering her unable to even move her elbows.

Xia Zheng’s seductive and triumphant laughter emerged from his pursed lips, "Be good, listen to me, come on!"

He then moved closer.

Lin Yuan had nowhere to retreat, unable to push him away, but her hands gripped tightly evoked her rebellious spirit.

If you want a kiss, then kiss directly, trying to force it, I won’t let you have it!

As Xia Zheng’s lips drew nearer, a sly smile crossed Lin Yuan’s eyes. She suddenly moved forward, launching an attack, and planted a set of neat teeth marks on those highly pursed red lips!

"Ah!"

A pig-slaughtering scream emanated from the room, startling Huai Hua outside who was treating her wounds, her body trembling in fright and her hands shaking even more.

"Ouch, don’t move!"

While applying medicine, Shui Xian laughed and said, "Don’t be scared, the young mistress must be bullying the young master again, only she can make him scream like that!"

Seeing Shui Xian’s proud and accustomed smirk, Huai Hua finally gave up on seducing Xia Zheng. That demon could stay with Princess Pingxi, she would find a gentler man.
