Chapter 33 Life Principle

Xu Xingxing approached the pit bull and said something to it, which had managed to calm it down as if it understood her.

While the maid was brought for treatment, Xu Xingxing led Guaijiao, her dog, to the main gate.

As she was on her way, she noticed Mu Xia standing outside the metal gate. Though she could not see the other woman's face due to the distance, she could feel Mu Xia's unique charisma. Even so, she was unbothered.

Situ Qingshan had described Mu Xia's physical appearance to her, but she could not care less because she was confident that she was the prettiest woman in the whole of Kyoto.

In no time, Xu Xingxing had arrived at the gate, and this time, she could see Mu Xia's face as clear as day.

Mu Xia was indeed flawless. Although she was wearing an extremely ordinary outfit, she still looked breathtakingly graceful that even the word "gorgeous" could not begin to describe this woman.

Xu Xingxing's eyes went as round as a plate the more she studied Mu Xia.

「What the hell. How could a countryside bumpkin like her be this picturesque? On top of being such a beauty, her charisma is also splendid. Maybe even more so than me—the prettiest woman in this city. How could this be? Are my eyes playing tricks on me?」

In an instant, jealousy took the better of Xu Xingxing.

「Now that I know how she looks, instead of a quick lesson, I will put her in her place with a harsh method. Before anyone notices her beauty, I must get rid of her!」

On the other hand, Mu Xia noticed Situ Qingshan behind an insufferable-looking blonde woman holding a big dog.

"What the hell are you doing, Qingshan? Open the gate!" she exclaimed with a frown.

Situ Qingshan looked at Xu Xingxing, who took a piece of raw meat from the bodyguard and threw it to the gate, which landed on the ground.

"You must be Xia," uttered Xu Xingxing arrogantly. "I'll give you two choices if you want to get in. Either you feed my Guaijiao or crawl through me. It's your call."

Upon hearing that, Mu Xia's expression gradually turned indifferent.

"Who are you? Did your mom not teach you any manners?"

"Who do you think you are to be saying that? If you don't make a choice, then go back to your village and remain a mere countryside bumpkin!"

Mu Xia's eyes turned frostily cold. She had found her way back just to seek the real reason behind her mother's death and why the Mu family had become the Situ family.

「From the looks of it now, I can't take a step closer toward my goals if I don't deal with these people first.」

"Do you really want to do this?" she questioned coldly.

Despite her tone, Xu Xingxing was not frightened. Situ Qingshan, however, felt fearful when she noticed Mu Xia's expression. The pain of the woman breaking her wrist still lingered deep inside her, and she felt chills traveling down her spine every time she recalled the painful sensation.

"Xu Xingxing, I think we should just let this go."

"Hell no!" shouted Xu Xingxing.

「Qingshan might be afraid of Xia, but I'm not. A pretty countryside bumpkin is never a threat to me.」

"You better make a choice now. Or else, you can kiss your ass and go back to your village!"

Putting her phone back into her pocket, a smile slowly spread across Mu Xia's face.

「I will not mess with people if they don't mess with me. But if they do, I won't show mercy at all. That has always been my life principle.」

With that thought in mind, Mu Xia took two steps forward before stating, "Okay. Open the gate. I choose to feed your dog."
