The Cold King and His Spoilt Wife: His Genius Consort Is Breathtaking

Chapter 118: The Three Corpses

When Xia Muqing returned to the main hall, she didn’t know how to break the news to him, and so, she brought him to the garden.

Jiang Yifan followed her out of the house. When he saw the three corpses on the ground, he trembled badly and stumbled over to them.

“Father… Mother… Brother…”

He didn’t dare to touch their corpses. He only barely caressed their faces as he wailed.

Jiang Yifan stayed by the corpses, refusing to eat or drink. He watched over them in a daze.

The little phoenix carefully moved closer and landed beside him. It called him softly, but there was no response. She flew back gloomily.

It landed beside Xia Muqing and gestured for her to think of a solution.

Xia Muqing sighed and went to Jiang Yifan. “Don’t you want to know who killed them? Don’t you want to avenge them?”

These two questions finally made him move. His voice was already hoarse, but he still whispered firmly, “I want revenge. No matter who it is, I will definitely make them pay.”

With that, he stood up immediately, as if he had really recovered from his grief. He bought three coffins to give them a glorious burial. Standing in front of the tombstones, it was as if he had grown up all of a sudden. He no longer had the cheeky smile from before, and his face was heavy with hatred.

Xia Muqing didn’t want to see him like this either, but he needed a motivation to live, even if it was hatred.

After the Jiang family was buried, Xia Muqing asked for his opinion before setting off for the capital together.

The little phoenix only dared to rest on Jiang Yifan’s head after three days of travel. Jiang Yifan had truly frightened her for the past few days. He had become much more solemn and quiet, but he hadn’t changed his behavior towards them at all. It was like he had walked out of a shadow.

Approaching the capital, Xia Muqing looked around and suddenly asked Jin Chao, “How long are you going to stay with us?”

He replied calmly, “I’ll leave tonight.”

Xia Muqing didn’t think too much about it when she asked him. But when she really got the answer, she was stunned. She felt a surge of emotions that she couldn’t identify.

She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she only said one word. “Okay.”

At night, Jin Chao suddenly announced, “I’m leaving.”

Xia Muqing bit her lips and remained silent.

Jiang Yifan tactfully led Gungun, the little phoenix and the black eagle away, giving them time alone.

Jin Chao chuckled and asked, “What’s wrong? You can’t bear to leave me?”

Xia Muqing replied casually, “It’s up to you. We’re not close anyway.”

Jin Chao suddenly lowered his head and stopped Xia Muqing from talking.

Xia Muqing blinked and looked at the face inches away from her. She couldn’t react in time.

The corners of Jin Chao’s lips curled slightly. When his lips were about to leave Xia Muqing’s lips, she wrapped her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss.

This time, it was his turn to be taken aback. Then, both of them took the initiative to deepen the kiss. The two of them didn’t want to be outdone by each other and both wanted to take the lead. It was a passionate and intense kiss.

After ending the kiss, Xia Muqing’s eyes sparkled. “I don’t care who you are. You’re mine now.”

Jin Chao smiled and said, “Aren’t you afraid that I’m a heinous villain?”

Xia Muqing quipped casually, “I’m not a good person either.”

This answer made him burst out laughing. He wrapped Xia Muqing in his embrace and said, “Be good and wait for me to return.”

With that, he left a kiss on her forehead and departed.

Xia Muqing kicked the stones on the ground gloomily. It was too cold of him to leave just like that.

Jiang Yifan calculated the time and returned with the three little beasts. When he saw that Xia Muqing was alone, he teased, “Were you left abandoned?”
