Chaper 214

Second Master Xie straightened his back, gave a cold snort, and marched off with an air of bravado. But the moment he stepped out of Xiao Chenyuan's sight, his knees buckled, and he collapsed straight to the ground.

Fortunately, the alley led directly to his residence's back gate. Second Master Xie scrambled forward, limbs flailing like a giant human lizard, twisting and crawling his way home. The servants guarding the rear entrance were so startled by his bizarre state that they rushed forward to help him.

"Open the door! Hurry! I want to go home!"

Second Master Xie bulldozed past them, refusing any assistance as he wriggled his way inside. Only when the back gate was securely shut behind him did he finally deflate, sprawling on the ground and wailing pitifully.

"I was scared to death! Wuwuwu—I was scared to death!"

The servants exchanged bewildered glances, looking utterly speechless.
