Chapter 228: I Leave Cousin Sister to You
Cold Brow could no longer stand by and shouted at her sister, “Like Ice, what are you doing?”
“I’m not doing anything!”
Cold as Ice yelled with a face as cold as frost, “Hmph, I know you are his wife and always side with him. Do you know how to describe your behavior in one idiom? It’s called 'aiding the tiger.' In two idioms, it’s 'birds of a feather flock together' and 'colluding in wrongdoing!' In three idioms, it’s 'wolf-hearted and dog-lunged,' 'devoid of conscience,' and 'beastly in appearance but human in heart!' In four idioms…”
“Shut up!” Cold Brow was so provoked by her idioms that she trembled all over; even the best patience was about to be exhausted by this sister.
Cold as Ice stood tall and said, “I won’t shut up!”
Slap!
Cold Brow slapped her across the face.
This slap stunned Cold as Ice, who asked, “Are you my sister?”
“Yes!”
“Then why are you hitting me?”
In her mind, it seemed that no matter what she did or said, her sister should undoubtedly support her.
Feeling extremely wronged, Cold as Ice suddenly turned around and hugged Xiao Yun, choking back tears as she said, “Xiao Yun, take me away. I can’t stay in this house any longer. My sister doesn’t want me anymore, and my brother-in-law Lu Jiutang is even more beastly…”
Just looking at her, it seemed like her brother-in-law really had feelings for her.
In fact, with Xiao Yun's peculiar Spiritual Sense, he could tell that Lu Jiutang's Bone was quite upright, and the Qi Mechanism embodied in him was also very pure. A proper body framework like him should be a person of integrity.
Although he came from a shady background, he at least had a conscience. This was evident from his refusal to collaborate with Gu Tianfeng on drug trafficking; he was unwilling to harm his fellow countrymen.
Moreover, he could also see that Lu Jiutang genuinely cared for this Cousin Sister and had no ulterior motives towards her.
But why was Cold as Ice emotionally so abnormal when facing Lu Jiutang and her own sister?
In fact, when she first appeared in the hall, Xiao Yun had already noticed that Cold as Ice had some issues with her Qi Mechanism. He couldn't help but feel a sinking sensation in his heart, though he didn't show it on his face.
Logically speaking, when Cold as Ice first saw Xiao Yun, she should have felt embarrassed. After all, she was the head of the Matchmaker Association and had led the execution of Gu Tian's orders to gather women at Dead End to kill Xiao Yun. As a normal person, shouldn't she feel ashamed?
However, for Cold as Ice at that moment, it seemed as if nothing had happened at all, which was clearly abnormal.
"Alright, I understand now, Ice Sister. With me here, you don't have to be afraid of anything. Uh, let go of me; I have something to say to your brother-in-law and sister!" Xiao Yun said while patting her back.
As he spoke, he tried hard to push her away. This girl was hugging him too tightly; her firm chest was almost suffocating him.
Sweat! He wasn't that cross-dresser Liu Xia Hui!
Fortunately, Cold as Ice was relatively obedient and quickly released her grip around his waist, wiped away her tears, and sat down to the side.
Xiao Yun stood up and waved to Lu Jiutang and his wife, saying, "Let's talk privately for a moment!"
Lu Jiutang and his wife Dapper exchanged glances, feeling somewhat puzzled, but they followed him to the back hall.
"Mr. Xiao, you..." Lu Jiutang hesitated to ask.
Xiao Yun said, "Master Lu, from my observations, Like Ice may have some issues with her mind!"
Uh,
The couple was taken aback upon hearing this and momentarily speechless.
Lu Jiutang stammered, "Mr. Xiao, why do you say that?"
Xiao Yun replied, "Master Lu, actually Cold as Ice has been deeply affected by the Black Death Poison among some of the women who were harmed. When you brought her back from Dead End, although the toxins in her body were neutralized, some remnants remained.
Moreover, after you brought her home, you immediately imprisoned her, which caused her already depressed emotions to fluctuate. This combined with the toxins in her body led to a distortion in her mental state, resulting in a distrust of those closest to her!
It's like cancer patients; those with an optimistic disposition can actually inhibit the spread of cancer cells and may never face serious issues in their lifetime. Conversely, those who are constantly melancholic and pitying themselves accelerate the deterioration of their condition.
Thus, Ancient People said that humans have five organs that correspond to five emotions: life and death, worry and sorrow, anger and fear; these seven emotions can harm the body the most. The heavens look down on all beings as I look down on an ant nest; if one opens their heart, everything is like smoke passing through one's eyes."
"How did you come to this conclusion?" Cold Brow asked skeptically.
Xiao Yun replied, "Based on my experience!"
Uh, experience?
Cold Brow was taken aback; that statement was rather vague, wasn't it?
However, in Lu Jiutang's view, Xiao Yun must have his reasons for saying so; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to diagnose and treat people by examining their bones.
Standing before him, he could even tell which part of a person's Bone was problematic, so what else could he not discern?
Thus, he firmly believed in Xiao Yun's words.
It was just that—
“Mr. Xiao, since there are still toxins in her body, is there a way to cleanse them so she can return to normal?”
Xiao Yun shook his head: “Currently, there is no artificial method for that. However, aside from her consciousness being somewhat tangled, there shouldn't be any other issues. It's very likely that if she experiences some unexpected emotional stimulus, she will return to normal!”
“No... no way,” Cold Brow exclaimed anxiously upon hearing this. “I can't let my sister be subjected to any more stimuli; that absolutely cannot happen!”
Lu Jiutang asked, “Mr. Xiao, what should I do regarding my Cousin Sister now?”
“Just let her do what she enjoys; as long as she is happy and can open her heart, she will naturally get better,” Xiao Yun replied with a smile.
Lu Jiutang sighed: “It's not that I want to keep her confined; sigh, this girl has never made things easy for me. When she first returned from learning martial arts abroad, she caused quite a stir. To be honest, she even crossed paths with that Gu Tianfeng... I really didn't expect that she would later be used by someone with the surname Gu!”
Xiao Yun said: “That Gu Tianfeng was originally skilled at disguise. Moreover, the Matchmaker's Guild he formed presented itself with a feminine facade, so it's no wonder Sister Bing couldn't recognize him!”
“Mr. Xiao, you always protect Like Ice. I can see that having a man like you is truly a blessing for her!” Lu Jiutang laughed.
Cold Brow urgently said, "Liu Jiutang, don't speak carelessly, or you'll make people laugh!"
In fact, Cold Brow still couldn't accept Xiao Yun in her heart, which is why she interrupted her husband's words.
"Well, Master Lu, I've said what I needed to say. By the way, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll visit another day!" Xiao Yun was perceptive; since Cold Brow didn't welcome him, he decided it was best to take his leave.
Lu Jiutang became anxious and pulled him back, saying, "Mr. Xiao, why leave so soon? We should have a couple of drinks!"
"No, there's plenty of time in the future. I'll bother you another day!"
As Cold as Ice came out from the back room and saw this, she stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Yun, saying, "If you're leaving, take me with you."
Cold Brow frowned and said, "Like Ice, you're a young lady; what kind of talk is this?"
"My business is none of your concern. You and your husband can go off together!" Cold as Ice retorted sharply.
"You..." Cold Brow was so angry her face turned pale, trembling as she said, "Fine, I won't interfere with you. Do as you wish!"
Upon hearing this, Cold as Ice laughed heartily and said, "That's more like it!"
Wiggling her waist like a little fox, she clung to Xiao Yun, sweetly saying, "Little Brother, you're lucky! Having such a beautiful sister like me will be a blessing for you all your life!"
Uh!!!
Xiao Yun suddenly felt overwhelmed...
"Mr. Xiao, it seems that I and her sister cannot keep her anymore. Now, I am handing this Cousin Sister over to you!" Lu Jiutang said seriously while holding his hands.
"Dizzy, you are giving your Cousin Sister to me? With her competitive personality, will my family ever have peace again?"
"Master Lu, this..." Xiao Yun showed a troubled expression.
Lu Jiutang said with a mournful face, "Mr. Xiao, just consider it a request from me. Please take her!"
"Fine, then I have no choice but to take her away!" He pretended to be extremely reluctant on the surface, but deep down he might be quite pleased. Damn it, he came empty-handed and ended up bringing back a lively beauty!
This kind of no-cost business is probably something only this handsome guy can pull off!
Without further delay, Xiao Yun took the opportunity to wrap his arm around Cold as Ice's slim waist and gently said, "Ice Sister, let's go!"
Just as Xiao Yun was taking Cold as Ice away, Cold Brow became anxious with Lu Jiutang: "Liu Jiutang, I see that Xiao looks like a wolf. Are you really at ease letting Like Ice go with him?"
"What else can we do?" Lu Jiutang replied.
Though he said that, he felt secretly pleased. He liked the wolf-like nature of this Xiao; if a man lacks that quality in this world, how can he secure a place for himself?
Before long, Lu Jiutang's phone rang. He opened it and saw it was a message from Xiao Yun.
He pressed the answer button and listened for a moment before his expression changed dramatically. How could this happen? The Pinnacle of Elegance has updated.
