It turns out that the master likes people with neat teeth
KEIGHTY: Here’s an extra chapter big, BIG thanks to Gia! 🎉 Thank you so much for the ko-fi ╥﹏╥ It made me so happy, really! I’m glad EMERALD is still so loved by you guys. Enjoy reading! 💚
Suo Woxie’s blood-curdling screams practically alarmed the whole building. Many people came after hearing the news and saw the bloody and tragic scene.
Everyone knew the status and significance of the Min’an Building in the Grand Duke’s Mansion. Daring to do such a shocking and bloody thing violated Feng Shui. This was not a small crime.
“That foreign slave deserves it. He has been favored by His Highness for just a few days, but he has become so domineering.”
“Although His Highness is a prodigal, he has never brought anyone into the Grand Duke’s Mansion. I don’t know what kind of bewitching sorcery the foreign slave used to actually get His Highness the Ninth Prince to allow him to enter the Min’an Pavilion.”
“If you ask me, foreigners are just foreigners, barbaric and despicable. Even if he comes to our Zhou Dynasty, he can’t wash away the cheap blood in his bones.”
“The Feng Shui of Min’an Pavilion was personally determined by Great Master Jian Kong. Now that such an ugly and filthy foreign slave has offended it, I’m afraid that even His Highness the Ninth Prince will not be able to protect him this time.”
“……”
Before these gossips intensified, Zhou Huaiyan immediately suppressed the matter and did not immediately report it to Duke Wei.
All the relevant people were brought out of Min’an Pavilion. All five floors were also sealed off. In less than an hour, the messy and bloody scene was cleaned up and restored to its original state.
At this time, the guards in black armor were guarding outside the room, while the servants attending inside kept silent and did not dare to make even the slightest sound of breathing.
The hall was brightly lit, yet the atmosphere was tense and depressing.
The medical boy servant kneeling on the left seemed to be so terrified that his whole body could not help but tremble. As for the right side, there was Suo Woxie, who was twitching in pain. His severed finger had been hastily bandaged, which probably prevented him from bleeding to death.
Ah Fei knelt in the middle in a well-behaved manner, with his head lowered. His messy hair covered his forehead and eyebrows, making it difficult to see the expression on his face.
This time, he did not dare to beg his master for forgiveness.
He defiled the Min’an Pavilion, violated the feng shui’s supernatural influence that blessed and protected his master, and did such a thing as bloody and cruel as a wild beast.
Perhaps this time, he would really be thoroughly detested by his master. Would he be beaten to death with a stick, thrown out, or sold to a horse dealer?
Either way, he could no longer stay with his master.
When he thought of this, Ah Fei felt a sharp pain in his chest.
But who could he blame now? It was him who poisoned his voice mute and washed away the mark of a servant slave in an attempt to cover up his lowly and filthy identity.
The master treated him so well, giving him clean clothes, rich meals, and even letting the imperial physician diagnose and treat him. Unfortunately, the person who led him to identify the source of the poison was of a foreign race.

“Your… Your Highness…”
At this time, Suo Woxie used all of his willpower to prop up his body, seemingly wanting to argue about something. His hoarse voice was as jarring and harsh as sandpaper,
“Don’t, don’t be deceived… by that… bastard slave…”
The man’s mouth and face were covered in blood. As soon as he opened his mouth, the strong, fishy smell of blood caused people to feel like vomiting.
Zhou Huaiyan covered his mouth and nose and couldn’t help but frown. When the young eunuch waiting next to him saw this, he immediately said fiercely,
“What are you doing standing there in a daze? Don’t you know that His Highness hates bloody things the most? Why don’t you quickly drag this dirty thing out and clean him up? If His Highness catches bad luck, who can bear such responsibility?”
As soon as he finished speaking, two tall black-armored soldiers immediately walked in from outside and dragged the person out brutally.
“Crash——”
The sound of large barrels of water being splashed could be heard outside, accompanied by the dying screams of a man.
In this weather, especially at night, even a normal, healthy person wouldn’t be able to bear it, let alone Suo Woxie, who had just broken off his finger, lost a lot of blood, and was splashed with several buckets of ice water.
Perhaps the foreign servant guarding the poisons would not survive tonight at all.
But no one in the room dared to speak.
Zhou Huaiyan lowered his eyes and looked at the kitten kneeling on the ground. His originally fluffy and soft curly hair was congealed with blood. Even his fair and clear little face was very dirty.
His beautiful pale green eyes were hidden in the shadows, as if the best jade was covered with dust. Gloomy, depressed, dim, and losing its former lively look.
The young man’s eyebrows furrowed,
“Ah Fei, come here.”
The kitten’s body paused for a moment. He was originally bending over and bowing, so he slowly moved his knees, crawled to Zhou Huaiyan’s side, and knelt down.
The location he chose this time was further away than before, because the eunuch said just now that the master hated blood the most.
Now that his body and face were all stained with blood and were so dirty, his master must’ve been extremely disgusted…
Ah Fei clenched his hands in embarrassment, feeling a strong desire to hide himself in his heart.
Just when his mind was full of sadness and pain, he suddenly heard the sound of a handkerchief being squeezed. Then, from the corner of Ah Fei’s lowered eyes, he caught sight of his master walking towards him.
He wanted to retreat in panic, but without the master’s order, he did not dare to move without permission, so he could only shiver, shrink his body, and curl up into a ball.
The exquisite silver boots finally stopped in front of him. Ah Fei heard his master sigh.
“Indeed, you’re getting more and more disobedient.”
“……”
This frivolous comment about his disobedience made Ah Fei feel even more unhappy than when those people called him “a lowly slave”.
The master once said that he should be obedient. Now that he was disobedient in his master’s mind, he would probably be discarded.
The master would really throw him out.
Ah Fei wanted to cry.
But… But he still hadn’t helped the master lure out the gu larvae, ah. If, if someone came with the mother insect in the future… What should he do?
At least, at least before leaving, the gu—he had to…
Ah Fei suddenly raised his head. Before he could say anything, he bumped into a warm, wet, and soft handkerchief.
“…Mmm?”
In the thick and rising steam, he could vaguely see the young man’s slightly wrinkled brows.
“You’re kneeling so far away. You really insist on having Dianxia come over and wipe it for you.”
Zhou Huaiyan sighed. He squatted and carefully wiped Ah Fei’s dirty little face.
“Even when little wild cats fight, they don’t get so dirty. How could you get yourself into this state?”
“……”
Ah Fei stared at him blankly, his mind blank and at a loss.
“Mas…”
Master doesn’t think he’s dirty?
How… How could…
If it weren’t for the warm touch on his face that felt too real, Ah Fei would have thought he was hallucinating something.
As soon as Zhou Huaiyan wiped the kitten’s brows and eyes, he saw the other party suddenly showing an expression… one that was about to burst into tears due to grievance.
“……”
It seems that he was really bullied ruthlessly.
Zhou Huaiyan sighed again. He said with a reproachful tone,
“Ah Fei, how can you bite people casually, even snapping their finger off?”
Hearing this, the medical boy servant kneeling next to him couldn’t help but shake his head in agreement.
The kitten immediately lowered his head, wanting to admit his fault,
“Yes…”
He would beg the master not to abandon him, and he would say that from now on, he would never bite anyone again.
But shortly after that, Ah Fei heard Zhou Huaiyan continue,
“Fortunately, you spat it out in time. What should we do if you accidentally swallowed it and suffered from indigestion?”
“……?”
Hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned for a moment. Even the kneeling medical boy servant couldn’t help but raise his head in shock,
——How did this become a problem of indigestion???
However, Zhou Huaiyan didn’t feel anything was wrong. He recalled that that year, Cuicui went to the Zhenqin courtyard to catch a certain imperial concubine’s small bird, and it almost got stuck, frightening Zhou Huaiyan so much.
As a result, the young man poked Ah Fei’s forehead hard again, his tone resentful,
“And also, the bones are so hard. If your tooth breaks, Dianxia won’t be able to find anyone to fix it for you.”
Ah Fei: “……?”
The kitten stared at him blankly, adding another stroke about his master’s preferences in his heart——
Aside from having thick arms and big breasts, along with the ability to meow,
It turns out that the master also likes people with neat teeth.
Ah Fei nodded and took note of it carefully.
The author has something to say:
Many years later, Zhou Huaiyan looked at this person in front of him——
The tall and handsome foreign man had deep eyebrows, full chest muscles, broad shoulders, and sharp teeth. He fell into a long-lasting silence.
