Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress

Panda Novel

Xu Jianchen ran out of the dining hall and sped as fast as he could to Xu Ziling’s room. When he reached the front door, he bent over and heaved.

Then, he rushed through the door, to which two servants immediately tried to block his path. “Second Young Master, Young Lady has orders to…”

“Move aside!” Xu Jianchen ignored their attempts to stop him and barged into the room.

Zuiying spotted Xu Jianchen and then looked at the keys in his hands. Instantly, he couldn’t contain his join. Fantastic! He could get out of there.

Xu Jianchen immediately ran up to Zuiying’s back, unlocked his chains, then helped him remove the chains.

“Brother shadow guard, leave. Hurry! You mustn’t let my sister catch you ever again! Otherwise, you’ll definitely end up ten times worse than you are now,” he said with a flustered look on his face.

Zuiying blanked out slightly but thought about it deeper. With Xu Ziling’s crafty and vicious personality, he would definitely suffer if she caught him again.

He decided that he would never let that wench catch him ever again.

Zuiying stroked Xu Jianchen’s head and flashed a sincere smile. “Thank you, Second Young Master. One day, when the opportunity arises, I will definitely show you my deepest gratitude!”

Xu Jianchen’s face flushed, as he rubbed his head and smiled. “It’s nothing. As long as you never do anything heinous in the future,” he said.

Zuiying burst out laughing. Second Young Master was really kindhearted and completely different from Xu Ziling.

If only Xu Ziling had half of the Second Young Master’s kindness. That would be great.

Zuiying nodded and smiled. “I’m a good person. I absolutely won’t go and do bad things. You needn’t worry, Second Young Master.”

“That’s good. Hurry and leave this place. Remember that you mustn’t get caught by my sister ever again.” Xu Jianchen had a look on his face which suggested that he only meant well.

“You’re really afraid of your older sister, aren’t you?” asked Zuiying with furrowed brows.

Xu Jianchen’s eyes darted and looked unusually uncomfortable. “S-says… says who? I’m not scared of her at all.”

Zuiying let out a quiet sigh, then spoke with a serious voice. “Thank you so much, Second Young Master. Otherwise, who knows how your sister was going to torture me next.”

With that said, Zuiying then turned to leave. He opened the window and disappeared in a flash.

Xu Jianchen watched, dumbfounded. “How amazing! This is the first shadow guard I’ve seen with such amazing Qinggong skills!”

Zuiying darted off the roof of the general’s manor and flew straight to a secluded area of the capital.

Just as Xu Jianchen walked out of Xu Ziling’s room, he bumped into a servant.

“Second Young Master, Madam asked me to come over!”

Xu Jianchen secretly clenched his fists and took a deep breath, as he walked up to Madam Xu’s courtyard.

He wasn’t afraid of his mother, but he was truly afraid of that tigress of a big sister. *Sigh* It’s whatever. Worse comes worst he would just get beaten up.

Xu Jianchen was anxious on his way to Madam Xu’s building.

There was a luxurious aura about the place and the furnishings were intricate and beautiful. However, there was a stifling atmosphere on the inside. No one dared speak.

Xu Jianchen walked up to the bed and spoke in a soft, cute voice. “Mother, let me explain. I didn’t drug big sister on purpose. She captured a good person, so I then had to think of a plan to steal the keys and save that good person.”

Xu Jianchen looked cowardly, honest, and a little flustered.

Madam Xu looked at Xu Jianchen but didn’t get mad. These kids often argued and fought each other. She would be tired to death if she intervened every time.

When it came to the children, Madam Xu would play down the big and small issues. “I don’t blame you for what happened but I’m afraid that your sister won’t easily let you off. Just you wait for your sister to wake up and then explain yourself!” She sighed.

With an uneasy look on his face, Xu Jianchen pursed his lips.

Then, he walked up to Xu Jianfeng’s side and asked, “Big brother, I’d like to hide in your room for a few days. Will that be okay?”

Xu Jianfeng smirked and replied, “Alright.”
