Chapter 35: Making a Wish

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ever since Xiao Lianyi had wronged Chi Yang that day, Chi Yao had already sensed that Xiao Lianyi was distancing herself from her.

This time, she left her alone and brought Chi Yang to Jing An Temple.

What should she do?

If she was expelled from the Chi Manor, how could she complete her mission?

Her father, mother, and brother were all waiting for her!

After some thought, Chi Yao dismissed the servants and maids and returned to her inner room alone.

Ever since she had that dream when she was five years old, her life had changed drastically.

The dream told her that a storybook had become a reality because of her. However, because of an outsider, there was a mistake in the story, so she needed to remove that mistake.

That mistake was Chi Yang.

Of course, that dream also gave her a certain “ability”.

As long as she made a sincere wish every day, it would come true.

First, she wished that her family could have a meal. Then, her family, who was so poor that they could not make a living, suddenly made a fortune and became a rich family in the village. However, her family was still looked down upon. After that, she made wishes every day and Chi Yi came to her village to ask her to be his daughter. She had nightmares every day when she was brought back to the Chi Manor. She begged her mother to come and take her back, and then a nanny who looked 70% like her mother came. And she wished for the princes…

However, after Chi Yang was brought back, everything changed, and none of her wishes came true.

“If only Chi Yang died out there…”

“If only Chi Yang died out there…”

“If only Chi Yang died out there…!”

Chi Yao’s gentle and demure face suddenly turned ferocious, and her reddened eyes were filled with extreme hatred.

…

Meanwhile, Xiao Shuyu brought Chi Yang to the small mountain road. However, the more they walked, the quieter and more remote this place became.

“Where are we going?”

“I’ve only been to this place once. It’s a small hot spring, and not many people come here usually. I only saw it last year when I came with Father and Mother,” Xiao Shuyu explained to Chi Yang as she led her.

‘Since Jing An Temple was also a national temple, it should be a safe place,’

Chi Yang thought.

However, just as she finished thinking, someone covered her mouth.

‘Sh*t! I take back my words!’

How dare they kidnap her so brazenly in broad daylight!

Xiao Shuyu, who was walking in front, was immersed in her own world and continued walking forward. She didn’t know that her cousin had disappeared.

“Don’t move, or I’ll kill you…” The man’s unique clear voice rang in Chi Yang’s ears.

Chi Yang could feel the thick smell of blood on the man’s body and the dagger placed across her neck. She did not dare to move.

The black-clothed man looked at the obedient and motionless young girl and heaved a sigh of relief.

If this woman were to cause a ruckus, with his current physical strength, he might not be able to do anything.

“Go find your carriage now. Just say that you’re not feeling well and want to go back to the residence.” The man behind her said in a hoarse voice.

Looking at the woman’s attire, she definitely had a carriage.

Moreover, to be able to come to Jing An Temple to offer incense, she must live in the capital.

This way, he could avoid the pursuers and return to the capital earlier to inform the Emperor.

“Oh, oh!”

Chi Yang led the man in black who followed closely behind. While others may not notice anything strange, Chi Yang could feel the dagger that the man had placed on her waist.

When the coachman saw Chi Yang come over, he hurriedly asked if something had happened.

“Nothing. I’m just not feeling well. Mother sent guards to protect me and told me to go back and rest,”

The coachman nodded repeatedly and only started when he saw the two of them get on the carriage.
