He Has a Sickness that Needs to be Cured

Chapter 132

Strictly speaking, she couldn’t be regarded Huo Xiu’s wife. Should it be more suitable to consider her a one-night stand? In the original book, there were only a few descriptions of this character. It only mentioned that she was a spirit. After her son was born, he was handed over to a friend to raise, and she disappeared without a trace.

When the system saw this spirit following Yuan Ting just now, it felt that she looked familiar, and after searching the original book data, it found the right information.

She is a spider spirit, and she is a very powerful and cruel spider spirit. She is much taller than an ordinary woman, and she usually doesn’t smile at all.

Xi Ning looked outside the pavilion and saw a gorgeous woman wearing a narrow sleeved men’s shirt standing outside, with her short black hair tied behind her head, and dark black patterns tattooed on her neck and the backs of her hands.

He had always thought that the supporting character who gave birth to Huo Xiu’s son was most probably forced by Huo Xiu, but today…….. it doesn’t look like it at all.

Seeing that Xi Ning had been staring outside, Yuan Ting waved his hand to let the spirit come in, and introduced her to Xi Ning. “This is my clan elder Shu Xiu. She is here to escort the betrothal gift that just arrived yesterday.”

Shu Xiu bowed and saluted Xi Ning and Si TuZhao. “Greetings to the seventh prince and Devil Lord.”

Her voice was as graceful and beautiful as an ordinary woman’s. The system was still entangled in the thoughts of whether the supporting character in the original book was the same person or not if he was born earlier, so could it be considered completing the task? But Xi Ning took notice of what Yuan Ting said.

“The betrothal gift?” Xi Ning glanced at Si TuZhao secretly/ “But I……”

If he made it clear to Yuan Ting right now, would he lose face in front of his subordinate? But Si TuZhao didn’t care at all about that and grabbed Xi Ning’s hand in front of Yuan Ting. “Spirit clan’s prince, you do not have to do this anymore. Although the Immortal Emperor has not yet made a decision, Ning Ning has been in love with me for a long time, and he will only marry me.”

Yuan Ting was stunned for a moment. “Ning Ning?”

“Oh right, the spirit clan’s prince doesn’t know that Ning Ning is Jing Yu’s nickname,” Si TuZhao told him “kindly”, “Ning Ning said that only I can call him in that way.”

Si TuZhao said such a provocative declaration of sovereignty that Xi Ning was speechless. He lowered his head and looked at Yuan Ting’s expression in embarrassment, silently trying to withdraw his hand.

Si TuZhao held on to Xi Ning’s hand tightly, leaning over and whispering in his ear, “If you move again, I will kiss you.”

His tone didn’t seem to be joking. Xi Ning immediately didn’t dare to struggle anymore and obediently let him hold his hand.

Yuan Ting saw all this with his eyes. He leaned on the back of the chair and sighed softly, “So it seems that I have come at an inappropriate time.”

After he heard Huo Xiu’s words that day, he really thought Si TuZhao harboured evil intent, bewitching the seventh prince and the Immortal Emperor. Later, after thinking about it, he thought that something still felt wrong, so he sent someone to investigate Huo Xiu.

After the investigation, it was discovered that there were many rumors that Huo Xiu was the one who colluded with the devils, and that he had perverse intention toward the seventh prince. Although there was no direct evidence, Yuan Ting quickly became more aware of the situation.

Even though it changed his mind, he still thought that Si TuZhao didn’t look like a kind person. Maybe he really would bewitch or threaten Xi Ning.

Then he came over today and saw the interaction between two of them. No matter whether they met before or not, they looked like they were really in love with each other. Xi Ning did not show the slightest resistance, but was rather distant and on guard against himself.

Besides that, since his arrival, Si TuZhao looked at him as an eyesore and his possessiveness toward Xi Ning had almost become materialized. But he didn’t know if Si TuZhao was really sincere or just really good at pretending.

If this continued, could he only helplessly watch the seventh prince marry into the devil clan? Then the marriage proposal letter that he had given would just become a joke.

He originally came for the marriage, and confidently prepared to marry a son of the Immortal Emperor, but in the end he had to return empty-handed.

After all, Yuan Ting was quite young, and the more he thought about it, the more unpleasant it felt. He had already lost at the start. If the Immortal Emperor favored his son and let the seventh prince choose himself, he had no chance at all. He could even imagine that he would be the laughingstock of other clan peoples after returning back to the spirit clan.
