The End Times as a Song

Chapter 294 It’s Not Your Fault

"Well! How about we go inside and talk?" Li Luo pointed to the house, looking at Xiong Xi with a determined gaze, as if she had already made up her mind.

“But, sister, no! Ran’s mother hasn’t been buried yet!” Xiong Xi frowned and firmly rejected Li Luo’s suggestion.

“What do you mean it’s not okay? We can’t finish this in a few words! Besides, the mistress isn’t here yet, and you’re already burying her mother? That’s not a good idea! We need to go inside to explain things clearly.” Li Luo said calmly, every word of hers persuasive. Xiong Xi was speechless, unable to refute, and finally could only nod helplessly in agreement.

Li Luo smiled with satisfaction, then picked up Xiong Xi and walked into the house on her own, completely unaware of the angry look in the eyes of Fox Lord Tu Shan Yan behind her.

"Stop! Help me inside!" Fox Lord Tu Shan Yan suddenly shouted, his voice filled with dissatisfaction and anger.

Li Luo was startled by the sudden shout, stopping abruptly in her tracks. She turned around and looked at Fox Lord Tu Shan Yan with a puzzled expression. She couldn't understand why Fox Lord Tu Shan Yan would make such a request, and couldn't help but ask, "What is it?"

"Didn't you hear me? Help me inside!" Fox Lord Tu Shan Yan repeated, his expression growing even more serious. He seemed quite displeased with Li Luo's reaction, continuing to emphasize his demand: "How many times do I have to say it? I can't walk anymore!"

Li Luo knew she couldn't afford to offend Fox Lord Tu Shan Yan, but she was still very resentful. However, she dared not show it and could only remain silent and obediently do as she was told. She released Xiong Xi, freeing him. Despite her reluctance, she slowly walked towards Fox Lord Tu Shan Yan. When she reached his side, she carefully reached out to support him, and then they walked into the Hundred Herbs Hall together.

Fox Lord Tu Shan Yan revealed a triumphant smile, his eyes gleaming with cunning and smugness. He seemed to foresee what interesting things were about to happen, and his mood was exceptionally pleasant.

A short while later, they entered the inner room of Baicaotang. Xiong Xi respectfully poured a cup of tea for Li Luo and Fox Lord Tu Shanyan, then carefully handed the teacup to them.

"Little bear, what happened? Who are those people? Where did they come from?" Li Luo asked impatiently after taking the tea. Her eyes were filled with doubt and worry, hoping to find out the truth as soon as possible.

Xiong Xi explained somewhat bewilderedly, "Sister, you can call me Xiong Xi. I really don't know who those people are or where they come from. The situation was too sudden, and I didn't have time to figure these things out."

"Where is Huan Rugo? Why isn't she here?" Li Luo asked again, deeply worried about Huan Rugo's safety.

Xiong Xi said with a face full of guilt, "It's all Xiong Xi's fault for being useless. Sister Huan Ruge was taken away by the men in black. I tried to stop them, but they were too strong, and I couldn't resist them at all." He described the whole incident to Li Luo in detail, his tone full of self-blame and helplessness.

No sooner had Xiong Xi spoken than Fox Lord Tu Shan Yan smashed the cup in his hand and mocked Xiong Xi: "Indeed useless! You can't even protect a mere human."

Xiong Xi lowered her head in shame, not daring to utter a sound. Seeing this, Li Luo went over to comfort Xiong Xi: "Alright, alright, it's all over now. I know you did your best, it's not your fault."
