<h4>Chapter 25: Various Motivations</h4>


    After hearing that male voice, Bai Aoxue held her nerves.


    Xiangxue’s eyes shed across a surprise after hearing the sound when she knelt on her knee.


    “Miss, I have been trusted by Bai Aoxue. Now I have been lurking around her.” Xiangxue didn’t move.


    “Oh? How can you get her trust so soon?” That man was a little surprised.


    Bai Aoxue listened to their conversation thenughed disdainfully. Get trust? Xiangxue over underestimated her.


    “Miss, here is the thing. After I was informed that day, I started looking for a method to approach Bai Aoxue. And Bai Aoxue has picked a fight with those in Prime Minister’s mansion that night.” Xiangxue replied respectfully.


    “A fight? What happened?” That man was a little curious.


    Although Bai Aoxue has only heard the sound of Nightmare a few times, she convinced that the people inside was absolutely him.


    His voice was very unique with special charm. People would never forget it once they heard.


    “Su Qianqiantrapped Bai Aoxue’s maidservant by tricks. Bai Aoxue angrily went to find Su Qianqianwith that maidservant and taught Su Qianqianand her gang a lesson. She even beat her father.” Xiangxue deliberately mentioned Bai Qiwei.


    In fact, Xiangxue thought that it was disgraceful for Nightmare to marry Bai Aoxue.


    Although Bai Aoxue was no longer weak, she did not deserve Nightmare.


    Nightmare was a god in Xiangxue’s heart, while Bai Aoxue was the viin who tried to defile her god.


    She hoped that Nightmare may not marry Bai Aoxue if she kept vilifying her.


    “Ah, I see.” Nightmare smiled.


    After hearing Nightmare’sughter, Xiangxue felt ufortable.


    Xiangxue eagerly said: “Miss, Bai Aoxue nned to marry you. In my view, she obviously intended to fight against Bai Qiwei resort to your power.”


    A little pleasure shed across him that he didn’t notice himself after listening to Xiangxue.


    “What do you mean?” Nightmare asked with great interest.


    “One day, after I became her maidservant, Bai Aoxue asked me to clean up a room and stayed there for a few days. She obviously nned to marry you.” Xiangxue thought she was clever.


    She didn’t hate Bai Aoxue. However, if she tried to finger on 5th prince, she was an enemy.


    Although Bai Aoxue may not expect that Xiangxue has already unconsciously regarded her as her enemy, she can tell at a nce that Xiangxue approached her on purpose.


    But Bai Aoxue did not notice Xiangxue’s resentment.


    Bai Aoxue, hiding in darkness and listening to Xiangxue, her eyes were as frosty as marble.


    Bai Aoxue knew that Nightmare was not the same as people said. How powerful was he? She did not know. But at least, as long as she made a sound, Nightmare would definitely notice her.


    Perhaps, she has already been noticed.


    “Can’t you suppress your arrogance and impetuosity even after so many years? Too early conclusion would lead to a fast death.” Nightmare didn’t miss the anger in her words.


    Xiangxue was shocked. She imposed herself as quite smart. Meaning between Bai Aoxue’s lines was that she would leave Prime Minister’s mansion in the future.


    In addition to marrying 5th prince, her only choice was to go back to General’s mansion....


    Thinking of that, Xiangxue suddenly understood Nightmare’s meaning. Indeed, Bai Aoxue did not say that she would marry 5th prince, but Xiangxue made a conclusion blindly.


    “Miss, you are right. However, Bai Aoxue is a good-for-nothing. Marrying her would only kill you!” Xiangxue continued.


    “How dare you criticize my life?” Not angry but dignified sound of Nightmare spread from the Bamboo House.


    The words of Nightmare made deepened Xiangxue’s hatred towards Bai Aoxue.


    If Bai Aoxue has ever appeared, she wouldn’t be scolded like this by her Miss.


    Bai Aoxue did not know, she has be Xiangxue’s enemy thanks to Nightmare.


    “I made mistakes. Please forgive me.” Xiangxue choked back her unwillingness.


    Staring at Xiangxue, Bai Aoxue showed a murderous look. Even though she did not believe her at the very beginning, she wondered why she kept a valueless servant like Xiangxue.


    However, witnessing her betrayal, Bai Aoxue could not calm down.


    She was never treated like this in preceding world.


    Arriving at Great Continent for just a few days, she has already experienced too many intrigues and tricks.


    Bai Aoxue disdained to y tricks. In her mind, if she liked it, she would admit straightforwardly. If she didn’t like it, no one could force her to. Xiangxue, however, has already touched her bottom line.


    Bai Aoxue raised her hand and slowly apuded, walking out from the darkness elegantly.


    Xiangxue, who originally knelt on her knee, immediately sprung up when she heard the sound. She was stunned when she looked back.


    Her eyes like a thin moon, she walked with through moonlight. That slender figure was shining and bright.


    Like a fairy with the innate pride and dignity, she stepped toward Xiangxue.


    “What a good loyal maid. Today I was surprised.” Bai Aoxue looked at Xiangxue indifferently.


    Xiangxue never expected that Bai Aoxue woulde here.


    After listening to Bai Aoxue, Xiangxue no longer hid the truth.


    “Why you are here? Who took you?” Xiangxue also red at Bai Aoxue.


    Where was that obsequious Xiangxue?


    “You brought me, don’t you? Howe you don’t know?” Bai Aoxue looked at Xiangxue with a mocking look.


    Xiangxue was shocked and annoyed after listening to Bai Aoxue’s words.


    “How could...?” Xiangxue looked at Bai Aoxue shockingly.


    “I didn’t feel that I was followed! Who are you? Bai Aoxue doesn’t have that ability!!” Xiangxue unbelievably pointed at Bai Aoxue and questioned.


    “Who am I? Good question!” Bai Aoxue looked at Xiangxue and smiled, her brows raised up.


    “I am Bai Aoxue, your Miss, Bai Aoxue.” A trace of regret mixed in her soft voice.


    If Xiangxue can be loyal, then she wouldn’t think about killing.


    Xiangxue listened to Bai Aoxue’s words andughed indifferently: “Hahaha, Bai Aoxue, you think too highly of yourself. Do you think you’re qualified to be my Miss? I only have one Miss!”


    “It’s none of your business!” Bai Aoxue drew back her sights.


    “Are you going out yet? Do you want to continue that trade?” Suddenly shifting to another subject, Bai Aoxue looked at the Bamboo House without emotion.


    Xiangxue was just about to make a sound when she heard Bai Aoxue. While at the same time, she heard the male voice in the Bamboo House.


    “You came much earlier than I thought.” That hoarse male voice spread out with a string of footsteps.


    “Humph! I am just a pawn in your game.” Bai Aoxue was not a bit of curious and angry about Nightmare’s affirmation.


    Xiangxue red, listening to that dialogue. An idiot can tell that they have seen and known each other.


    However, wasn’t Bai Aoxue a youngdy that usually wouldn’t go out of home?


    “Miss, she is fake Bai Aoxue. Don’t easily trust her!” Xiangxue pointed at Bai Aoxue and shouted.


    Nightmare frowned after hearing what Xiangxue said while no one saw it.


    A strong power rushed to Xiangxue when someone slightly raised sleeves. Bai Aoxue knew that it was Nightmare.


    Xiangxue was thrown away by that force and then hit on those bamboos, cracking a few of them.


    “Pfft...” At the moment when Xiangxue fell to the ground, arge mouthful of blood was spat from her mouth.


    “Xiangxue, you seemed to have forgotten. I don’t like servants who grab words from me.” Nightmare looked at her with his narrow eyes squinted.


    But Xiangxue knew that it was an inclination to his dissatisfaction.


    Xiangxue, who has been prostrating on the ground, listened to Nightmare, crawling to him and said: “I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me.”


    Bai Aoxue looked at battered and exhausted Xiangxue without a shred of sympathy.


    The most shocking thing was more than that move of Nightmare.


    Bai Aoxue knew that there must have martial arts in ancient time. Even if he or she has not eaten pork before, one would still recognize a pig running.


    Moreover, there were some costume films yed on television in preceding world. Those moves such as Eighteen Ways of Beating the Dragon, drunken fist, guide of dog beating of beggar’s gang and others were mentioned.


    The one used by Nightmare was definitely martial arts of this era.


    Although that shed surprise of Bai Aoxue disappeared quickly, it was still noticed by Nightmare who has been observing her.


    He secretlyughed lightly; it seemed that he finally saw other expressions of that little wild cat in addition to indifference.


    Of course, Bai Aoxue did not know Nightmare’s idea. And now she was full of thoughts that Nightmare must be a strong person. He must have been bearing for so many years with dangerous intentions.


    “Are you scared?” Nightmare deliberately looked at Bai Aoxue defiantly.


    Bai Aoxue, who was still thinking about it, sneered at him after listening to Nightmare: “Are you telling jokes? You look down on me.”


    Looking at the Nightmare, Bai Aoxue immediately smiled: “Shoot. What is the chip? What do you want from me? I don’t have much time to waste.”


    When Nightmare heard Bai Aoxue’s words, he was very astonished. Even if he expected Bai Aoxue woulde to see him, he did not expect that she would be so straight to the point.


    However, such a personality also suited his taste.


    “In this case, I will say it straightly. You marry me, knowing your ce and keeping to yourself. If necessary, you need to help me.” Nightmare hid no secret.


    Upon hearing Nightmare’s words, Bai Aoxue did not expect that his request to be so simple. However, she suddenly realized that the seemingly simple thing may be the most difficult one.


    “How can I help you?” Bai Aoxue rose up her eyebrows.


    “You are a smart girl, and you may have guessed the reason for this. In two days, he will definitely call you into the imperial ce. By then, you will know what to do.” Nightmare knew that Bai Aoxue was smart. Or should he say extremely intelligent.


    Looking at Bai Aoxue who sank deep into thought, Nightmare did not bother her. Perhaps such a deal was uneptable for any other woman.


    If they seed, they could live at ease forever; while if they lost, there was no second chance.


    But he affirmed that Bai Aoxue would ept it.


    He would never misjudge a person who had the same breath and the same expression as him.


    “I promise, but you need to help me destroy Bai Qiwei and the entire Prime Minister’s mansion.” Bai Aoxue’s mind was variable.


    This was a huge gamble. She would not and cannot lose.
