Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Long Rui

A moment later, Xuexue finally felt revived. It was already late, and her mother was waiting for her to eat dinner. Thus, she stopped paying attention to the man on the ground and started walking back, wading through the dim twilight, deep and shallow.

“Damn stinky woman!”

The man on the ground let out a weak voice. Xuexue turned to glance at him, straightened her clothes and hair without uttering a word, and walked away without looking back.

Not long after Xuexue left, a group of about ten men in black arrived in succession.

Seeing the man lying among a pile of fallen leaves, the scene somewhat tragic with only his head showing, they immediately kneeled down and admitted their faults in panic, “Prince, your subordinates arrived late for the rescue, we deserve to die. Please forgive us, Prince.”

“All of you, get up.”

“Yes.”

It turned out that this man was the Ghost King Long Rui, whose mere mention terrified the inhabitants of Moli Country.

Recently, due to urgent matters, he only brought a handful of trusted followers and hurriedly left the Capital. Unexpectedly, someone, emboldened by the courage of a bear’s heart and leopard’s gall, leaked his whereabouts. Just after leaving the Capital, he was ambushed again and again, which greatly infuriated him.

Perhaps because the assassinations had repeatedly failed, the assassins sent today were exceptionally lethal, all top-tier killers. He was momentarily careless, not only was he poisoned, but he was also severely injured in their attacks.

“Aren’t you going to come over and help me up?”

Long Rui was extremely annoyed. Today was indeed a day of misfortune; not only was he poisoned and injured, but he had also been humiliated by a damned bratty girl.

“Yes.”

Two guards stepped forward and pulled him out of the pile of leaves.

“What are you all standing around for? Hurry and help me up,” Long Rui ordered with a frosty look.

The guards immediately shivered and replied, “Yes.”

After a while, Long Rui remembered the girl from just before and felt deeply vexed. Not only had she bullied him, but she had also thrown garbage on him. Though it was to warm him, it was also a profound insult. Being the high and mighty Ghost King in Moli, he had never suffered such humiliation.

“Go and investigate someone for me,” Long Rui said, still grinding his teeth with anger from the memory.

“Prince, whom do you want us to investigate? What are the characteristics of this person? Please clarify so it will be easier for us to find them,” a guard asked cautiously.

“A reckless, cunning village girl, around fifteen or sixteen years old, bold and audacious.”

Remembering how he had been bullied by her and how she dared to turn things around on him, Long Rui was seething with rage.

“Yes.”

the old residence

Chuner had been recovering well from her injuries over the past few days and was sitting at the front gate with Madam Xie, waiting for Xuexue to come home for dinner. But as they waited, the sky grew darker and still, there was no sign of her.

“Mother, could something have happened to sister?” Chuner couldn’t help but ask after waiting for so long without seeing her sister.

“No, Xuexue has just gone to see your father; perhaps, he did not want her to come back so early and kept her for dinner,” Madam Xie said, deceiving herself.

Chuner pursed her lips, showing her disbelief, but she did not voice it out to avoid saddening her mother.

Just at that moment, two figures appeared around the corner not far away.

“Mother, mother, look, is that father?” Chuner, with sharp eyes, instantly recognized Mo Xiaoqiang walking in front.

“Yes, it’s your father,” Madam Xie exclaimed joyously, seeing Mo Xiaoqiang for the first time since the day she was divorced.

“Husband, husband, you are here,” Madam Xie cheerfully greeted him.

“Shut your mouth, who is your husband? Don’t shout randomly, or don’t blame me for being rude,” Concubine Sun furiously stepped forward and forcefully pushed Madam Xie away from Mo Xiaoqiang.
