Chapter 1267: Long tongue and sharp claws

"Haha, look at your face!" Just as He Zexi\'s anxiety was climbing up his spine, he heard Ye Xiyuan laugh at him. He stared at her who was chortling away and heaved a sigh of relief. She was joking with him!

"You scared me," He Zexi remarked, he reached out his hand and wiped the sweat on his face. "Saying such a terrifying thing with a smile on your face, for a second I thought you were saying the truth."

Ye Xiyuan scrunched up her nose cutely. She took a bite of her braised beef and remarked, "It\'s your fault for being so gullible, Brother Zexi. Who asked you to trust me?"

Though she was speaking about the joke that she had made just now, for some reason He Zexi felt there was something wrong with the words that she spoke to him. He curled his lips and laughed awkwardly before saying, "Haha, you are right. There is no way you can cook human meat, I was the one who was too foolish."

As he spoke, he took another bite of the \'beef\', Ye Xiyuan watched him gobble away the meat and an eerie smile etched on her face.

He Zexi didn\'t notice anything weird, once he calmed down he started to talk about this and that with Ye Xiyuan while praising her for her beauty and wits.

"No, No. I am serious... I have never seen anyone as beautiful and smart as you," he handed one compliment after another to Ye Xiyuan who continued to smile. The more she smiled the more He Zexi was emboldened, he thought that as Ye Xiyuan was smiling at him, she certainly had some intentions towards him. If not she wouldn\'t have dressed so proactively and invited him inside her house that too at such an hour. She was also smiling and laughing at his jokes and was even letting him touch her.

Even though the touches were limited to him touching the back of her hand, it meant something right?

No woman who had any hidden intentions would invite a man to her house.

He Zexi got more and more excited at the thought, he could already imagine himself sitting next to Ye Xiyuan instead of Ma Yun. He gleefully said a few more things to Ye Xiyuan before lowering his head and looking down at his bowl.

However, as soon as he looked at the soup that he had scooped, He Zexi stiffened. Because inside his spoon lay a human eyeball. Not that of a pig or a cow but of a human!

As he was someone who had studied for years, it was quite easy for He Zexi to identify that the eye in his spoon belonged to a human.

\'I...I was eating the flesh and brain of a human?\' The thought alone was enough to scare He Zexi to the point that he started to tremble. His gag reflex started to work and he wished he could throw up then and there. He couldn\'t believe that he ate human flesh and drank the soup cooked from human brain.

He was so filled with regrets that he wanted to dig his stomach and clean it up. What did he just eat? And what was Ye Xiyuan doing? What was she thinking cooking the flesh and brain of a human?

"Whats the matter?" Ye Xiyuan questioned him causing He Zexi to drop the spoon in his hands. He looked at her with the expression of a deer getting caught in the headlights. Though He Zexi didn\'t know what Ye Xiyuan was and how in the world she got her hands on the human flesh, he knew one thing and that was

He couldn\'t get caught if he did then this woman would kill him as well. "It\'s..it\'s nothing, I just ...I just feel a bit heavy. After drinking so many bowls of soup my bladder is a bit..." He Zexi spoke to Ye Xiyuan who smiled at him and then said, "Is that so? Then you can go down the corridor, Brother He. The bathing room is right at the end of the hall."

He Zexi wanted to run out of the house but when he saw Ye Xiyuan looking at him, he dropped that desire and then walked down the hallway as calmly as possible. But even then He Zexi was afraid that Ye Xiyuan would come rushing and kill him. Fortunately, nothing like that happened as he headed down the hallway.

Once he was inside the bathing room, He Zexi closed the door and bolted it. Though it only took him two minutes to arrive at the restroom, He Zexi felt like he had lost more than ten years of his life. Cold sweat covered his back and forehead as he tried to regulate his breathing.

His mouth was partially opened as he heaved, he wanted to throw up but at the same time, he was worried that Ye Xiyuan would find out that he had recognized the human meat that she had cooked and served. For the first time, He Zexi felt raw fear.

He grew up in a patriarchal house and believed that women were not worth anything. Thus, when he met Ye Xiyuan he thought that she was trying to reach far beyond her reach and wanted to suppress her under him, after all, as a woman her duty was to stay at home and work for her man.

But now his world views have completely changed! That woman was not just cruel, she was purely unhinged!

"I have to get out of here! I need to get out of here!" He Zexi muttered as he looked around the bathing room, only to find a very small window which was too small for his physique.
