Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress - Chapter 221

Chapter 221: The White Haired Witch

Liu Rushuang and Han Moze chased the man until they reached the large tree and shot each other a glance.

“We actually let that thief get away! What are we going to do now?” Liu Rushuang sighed helplessly.

With a smile on his face, Han Moze replied, “Shuang’er, we should just head back. It’ll be difficult to find the thief in the middle of the night.”

“Mm alright. Let’s go with your idea and stop looking,” replied Liu Rushuang with a smile, then flew back the way they came with Han Moze.

Lian Jiuhua and the shadow guards couldn’t quite figure out what had happened. That thief was definitely hiding nearby. Why had they stopped searching and headed back instead?

Thereafter, they followed Han Moze and Liu Rushuang back the way they came with confused looks on their faces.

After flying several hundreds of steps away, Han Moze and Liu Rushuang suddenly came to a stop.

Liu Rushuang swept a look all around everyone and ordered, “All of you, stay here and don’t move!”

“Yes, milady,” they all replied, despite having no idea what was happening.

Liu Rushuang squinted, then saw the thief fly out from behind a tree several hundred steps away. With that, she flew forward, as she couldn’t resist but pull an evil smile.

Then, Han Moze silently followed her again.

The person dressed in black had nothing to worry about, so he quickly went to a mountain cave.

Liu Rushuang followed him in but didn’t see Le Zhengyu anywhere around.

“W-why are you two here?” The person dressed in black looked fearfully pale-white when he saw Liu Rushuang and Han Moze. He was doomed!

“Where did you hide Le Zhengyu?” Liu Rushuang asked with a chilling voice.

“It wasn’t me! I-I’m just a thief. I don’t kidnap or kill people!” Exclaimed the man with a terrified look on his face.

Then, he fell to his knees and repeatedly kowtowed and cried, “Noble warrior, please spare my life! I was merely forced by the circumstances of life! I really had no choice but to steal from you both!”

Liu Rushuang kicked him down and stepped on his sprawled out body, then angrily asked, “Confess! Where did Le Zhengyu go?!”

Flustered, the thief replied, “I-I vaguely saw a shadow silently open the door b-but then didn’t come out again.”

Liu Rushuang’s eyes instantly shot wide open. What the hell happened? “Are you speaking the truth?” She asked coldly.

“It’s the absolute truth! Lady warrior, spare my life!” Pleaded the thief who promptly kowtowed. Every word he said was the truth!

Han Moze slightly furrowed his brows but had no comment on the matter. “Shuang’er, let’s head back,” he said flatly.

Liu Rushuang removed her foot from the thief’s leg and ordered in a chilling voice, “Follow us! We’ll question you when we get back!”

“Alright! Yes! I’ll obey you great noble warriors!” The thief nodded repeatedly.

When Han Moze and Liu Rushuang headed back, a black fog in human form stood on the peak of a very tall tree, staring absolutely transfixed upon Liu Rushuang.

Liu Rushuang felt their gaze and couldn’t resist but turn and shoot them a glance. However, that ball of black fog had already disappeared.

When Liu Rushuang and Han Moze flew a distance away, the black fog turned into a woman with fair skin, a beautiful face, and a black necklace. Her long white hair fell straight down, almost touching the floor. She wore a tight black dress which revealed a large, radiant portion of her breasts.

“Phoenix, just how capable are you, really? To allow for the master to still not be able to forget you,” said the figure, as she watched Liu Rushuang fly off.

Then, with a helpless smile, she turned into a ball of black fog and flew far into the distance.

After Liu Rushuang, Han Moze, and the others returned, they questioned the thief in detail and agreed that he wasn’t lying.

On top of it all, the thief admitted he was wrong and saw the error of his ways, so Han Moze made plans to take the thief back to join his armed forces.
