Big Shot Little Jiaojiao Breaks Her Persona Again

"Ah—!" Xu Ye let out an embarrassed cry. He wished he could kill himself. He covered his head with the blanket and rolled back and forth on the bed after lying on it.

Chi Jiao couldn't help comforting him upon seeing how devastated he was. "Xu Ye, don't be too sad. On second thought, it's actually quite nice…"

Xu Ye turned to look at her and asked, "How is it nice?"

Chi Jiao didn't expect him to probe. She was momentarily at a loss for words. After some thought, she squeezed out a reply with difficulty. "You looked quite nice."

Xu Ye wailed again. He was having a mental breakdown. He fell back onto the bed and twisted back and forth, almost dying of shame.

"The two of you can go out and rest first. Jiaojiao and I have something to say to Xu Ye," Quan Jue said to the other two.

Pei Yao and Beitang Lie nodded and left the room.

Xu Ye remained unresponsive. He suspected that Quan Jue was deliberately staying back to mock him and wasn't willing to give him any reaction.

"Jiaojiao, tell him about the stone." Quan Jue paused for more than 10 seconds before continuing coldly. "He's been tormented because of Bai Wanxi. We should tell him the whole story."

Xu Ye looked up in confusion and asked, "What stone? What do you mean?"

"Don't worry, I'll explain it to you slowly." Chi Jiao sorted out her thoughts and explained everything about the stone and Lu Xian.

Xu Ye listened attentively until a surprised expression crossed his face.

"In other words, we can only remove Bai Wanxi's remnant consciousness from my body after finding all four stones. The last stone is in my aunt's body. She will die the moment we take out the stone, right?" Xu Ye asked the two of them.

Chi Jiao and Quan Jue nodded.

"Initially, I wanted to tell you about this after collecting all the stones. But I think it's necessary to let you know the ins and outs of this matter now that things have come to this," Chi Jiao said slowly.

Xu Ye did understand. He was deep in thought. "I understand. I can tolerate it since it concerns my aunt's safety. Moreover, I know that Jiaojiao can guarantee my safety."

"I'll definitely protect you. Xu Ye, although I don't have any evidence to prove it, I can tell you that Bai Wanxi isn't a bad person. She won't hurt you. She Qi is the only person who might attack you." Chi Jiao didn't want Xu Ye to think that Bai Wanxi was a bad person.

Not just Xu Ye, Chi Jiao didn't want anyone to misunderstand Bai Wanxi. She wanted to tell everyone that Bai Wanxi wasn't a bad person.

Xu Ye smiled and nodded. He chose to believe her without hesitation. "Jiaojiao, I believe everything you say. I'll cooperate with you. Don't worry. However, it's really boring for me to stay here alone. Can you come over often to visit me when you're free? I don't mean anything else. I just feel that if you come over often, it'll be easier for you to observe Bai Wanxi's movements."

Chi Jiao felt that Xu Ye's words made sense. However, Quan Jue grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms just as she was about to agree.

The smile on Xu Ye's lips instantly disappeared. He stood up from the bed and glared at him. "Quan Jue, what are you doing?"
