Cold Blooded Wife

25 Identity (1)

A destructive aura spewed from the man's muscular body, forcing all his servants on their knees. They dared not to speak as they held their breathe. He was seated behind a screen which hid him from the servants but even with that, he was intimidating them!

As for why he was like this, no one had an idea.
They only knew he was angry and that did not mean well for anyone.

Even Bao Zemin had no clue why his brother was acting this way.

"Ge, why are you like this?" Although he was sweating from his brother's aura, the boy courageously asked.

The Demon King gave no reply as he coldly glanced at his brother. He only formed a scroll in his hand and threw it at the male.

Bao Zemin curiously opened the scroll and almost fell off his seat when he read what was inside. This is insane!

Ge is actually jealous of a guard?!

Inside the scroll wrote how Master Wu assigned a bodyguard for Wu Xingxie. As her guard, he was responsible for her safety and always had to be near her. Not only that, the guard was extremely handsome and charismatic as well. He was really popular with the ladies and had a good reputation.

Obviously, no man would be happy knowing another man was so close to the woman they liked. However, she didn't even know him so he clearly had no right to intervene.

"This Wu Xingxie, are you interested in her?" Bao Zemin asked, raising his eyebrows. He was sure of it. His brother was jealous!

The Demon King raised his hand, signaling the frightened servants to leave the room. They immediately left at his silent command. They were really afraid of what would happen if they were kept there.

Hearing Bao Zemin's question only made the Demon King's mood worse.

"Ge, you're in love?" Bao Zemin teased seeing as his brother remained silent.

"I know everything about her, but she does not even know anything about me." The Demon King finally spoke.

Bao Ling was the youngest head of the Bao family, one of the 5 powerful families in the Buxiu Empire. His ways when dealing with enemies were ruthless and he was known to show no mercy. Only those in the clan were lucky enough to see him. Called the Demon King because he often wore horrific masks to conceal his true face, only a few people knew how he really looked.

"Why don't you be normal for once and try courting her? With your status and power, how can she dare refuse you if you want to marry her?" Bao Zemin suggested seeing as his brother had no experience in love and relationships.

"With 'That Man' as her father, even I would not act rash for her, however, your idea seems worth trying." Bao Ling admitted.

"Isn't her father Wu Dingxiang? Why would you have to be scare of that general. He even has to bow down to you!"

Bao Ling really wanted to shut that mouth of his brother right now. It wasn't Bao Zemin's fault though that he had no clue about Wu Xingxie's true identity. Even Wu Xingxie was not cognizant of her true parentage. Only he knew and he was well-pleased about that.

In this whole empire, no one knows you better than I do, not even yourself, Wu Xingxie.

Bao Ling smiled to himself but when he thought of Wei, a feeling of rivalry overcame him.

If "That Man" didn't send you to her, you wouldn't even be able to get a glimpse of her.

He told himself as he knew the real identity of Wei.

Wu Xingxie was the woman whom he had been waiting for. Since the day she was born, he already knew her. She was destined to be puissant. Otherwise, why would her own father leave her in the hands of a covetous man and vile mother?

It was all so she could gain experience, and grow up to be responsible. The Wu clan was simply a stepping stone for Wu Xingxie. Although she was unaware, they were a trial for her to reach immortality.

"I'm so tired!" Wu Xuan exclaimed, drinking the cold water Xingxie brought for him.

"You've reached the 1st level in just 3 days. Not just anyone can do that, you know." Xingxie encouraged him. These 3 days, she had been coming up with ways to help him cultivate faster. Currently, Wu Dingxiang was busy with state affairs so he hadn't been home lately.

"Seventh Young Master truly takes after you, Eldest Miss." Yuyan smiled at the boy.

"Hey, I'm the teacher here snd I don't get a compliment?" Wei complained, frowning at them.

"Wei gege is the best teacher!"

Wu Xuan threw his hands up in the air.

A faint knock came from the main door, and Xingxie gestured Yuyan to go get it.

"It's Concubine Xi." She informed Yuyan who nodded before opening the large doors.

"Greetings, Concubine Xi." Yuyan really admired the woman. She was beautiful but gentle as well and wasn't like the other concubines.

"No need. Are Xing'er and Xuan'er in the courtyard?" She asked, and Yuyan nodded with a smile.

The two ladies walked over to the other three who were chatting away.

"Eldest Miss, why do you wear the veil anyways?" Wei asked since he was her bodyguard so he should have a right to know right?

"Such a beautiful girl like you shouldn't be hiding her face."

Wu Xingxie simply rolled her eyes at his question.

"My Jiejie is pretty right? No other girl can compare!" Wu Xuan bragged as he hugged the girl's waist.

"That is correct. In the Buxiu Empire, your sister's beauty is unparalleled. No other female could stand a chance when standing near her." Xi Zhuhong's voice agreed with the young boy.

"Unparalleled? Isn't that too exaggerating?" Wu Xingxie didn't really care how other's view her so whether she was the most beautiful woman or ugliest held no meaning. As long as she was loved by the people she loved, others didn't matter.
