Chapter 161: Who Would Be Jealous?
Translator: Henyee TranslationsEditor: Henyee Translations
After Xue Fanxin figured out the reason for Ye Jiushang’s anger, she was rendered speechless. Looking at his childish appearance, one could never imagine that he was the noble, arrogant, and insufferably arrogant Ninth Imperial Uncle.
Indeed, one could not judge a book by its cover.
This also confirmed one thing: men needed coaxing.
“Alright, Ah Jiu. Iwas wrong this time. Don’t be angry, okay? I promise. There wont be a next time.”
“You want a next time?” Ye Jiushang’s handsome face turned stiff with a serious warning. However, his eyes were filled with gentleness and doting. He hugged her even more tightly as if afraid that she would fly away.
“There won’t be a next time. Absolutely not.”

“Hmph, I’l let that punk Gu Jinyuan off easy this time. Furthermore, he’s quite sensible and didn’t do anything that would make me too dissatisfied.”
“Gu Jinyuan and I are just friends. It’s normal for friends to eat together. Besides, during the meal, I encountered something very interesting and saw the number one beauty of Heavenly Saints City, Su Baifeng.”
If not for this meal, she probably would not have learned that Su Baifeng was the one who had sent people to assassinate her so soon. She would not have known that there was a mineral vein in the Red Maple Forest either.
‘When Ye Jiushang heard Xue Fanxin mention Su Baifeng, he recalled what she had done recently and was filled with anger. It seemed like it was time to deal with these people. Otherwise, they would think that he was a pushover.
“Ah Jiu, what kind of love and hatred entanglement do you and Su Baifeng have?” Xue Fanxin asked curiously. She felt that Ye Jiushang treated Su Baifeng differently. He clearly knew that she had sent people to assassinate her, but he actually didn’t express anything.

Xue Fanxin was unhappy. Very unhappy.
“Are you jealous?” Ye Jiushang looked at Xue Fanxin’s jealous expression and thought that she was cute.
“Who’s jealous! I’m just feeling uncomfortable. You clearly knew that Su Baifeng almost killed me, but you didn’t even mention her to me. If I didn’t happen to meet her today, I wouldn’t even know who wanted to kill me back then. Tell me, do you mean to help her hide it and not want me to cause trouble for
her?”

“It’s not what you think.”
“Then what was it like? I’m in a good mood today and am willing to listen to your story. Of course, the precondition is that you’re willing to tell me.” Xue Fanxin was not angry about this matter, just a little depressed. She believed that Ye Jiushang would never side with Su Baifeng. There must be another
reason why he had not mentioned this to her.
She was willing to give him a chance to explain.
Ye Jiushang smiled gently and explained, “I owe her a favor. Five years ago, she stole the Soul Awakening Lamp from the Ghost King and indirectly helped me escape a calamity. Therefore, I gave her a promise. No matter what mistakes she made in the future, I will spare her life.”
Five years ago, he was in a deep sleep. The Ghost King had secretly attacked him, wanting to use the Soul Awakening Lamp to trap his soul. Fortunately, Su Baifeng had stolen the Soul Awakening Lamp, or else he would not have had the freedom of today.
Even if he was trapped by the Soul Awakening Lamp, he had a way to escape. However, the price he had to pay was higher, so he gave Su Bai Feng a promise. He did not have any other gratitude, and he did not develop any feelings towards her because of this.
Because of the Spirit Awakening Lamp incident, the Ghost King’s biological mother, Qi Fei, was banished to the cold palace by the Heavenly Saints Emperor and died a few months later.
His mother’s death made the Ghost King hate Ye Jiushang even more. Over the years, he had been targeting him. As long as there was a chance, he would definitely torture him to death.
However, Ye Jiushang had been missing for years. Even if the Ghost King wanted to deal with him, he could not.
