"Are you still the kind and simple girl you were?" Venus murmured quietly as she looked at her gaunt
face in the mirror.
She didn't like who she was now, but she couldn't help it. She knew that if she didn't protect herself
then she would be in a much more difficult situation.
Like just now, if she continued to endure in silence as usual, maybe she would get not only an insult
from them but also a slap.
Venus sighed deeply and then washed her face slowly. The moment she looked up, there was a figure
behind her suddenly.
She wanted to scream, but her mouth was covered by a large hand, and then she heard a sigh, “It's
me. Don’t be afraid."
Then Venus relaxed and said, "Can you knock before you enter the door next time? Otherwise I would
have been scared to death by you sooner or later."
"You're very timid. It's better for you to be scared to death by me than for you to become an old lady.”
Xiozi said mildly.
"I don't want to be frightened to death. How humiliating it is.” Venus said discontentedly, “What are you
doing here?"
"I've been feeling bored in my room lately. I want to go out for a walk. Do you want to go out with me?"
Xiaozi smiled and said slowly.
Venus, upon hearing this, said happily, "I’d love to. Where are you taking me this time?"
Xiaozi held his chin in thought and said, "I've enhanced my power a bit lately. I can take you to a
nearby mountain for a walk."
"Are there any mountains around here?" Venus was curious and asked.
"The Ye family villa is located halfway up the hill. The view from this hill is very beautiful and the air is
fresh."
Venus just remembered that the Ye family villa wasn't in the city center, but was built on a hill.
"The air is nice here, right?" Xiaozi looked at her. His eyes seemed to be able to see into people's
mind.
Venus nodded, and with a relaxed smile on his face, she said gently, "Yes, it's good to get close to
nature."
Xiaozi hugged her slender waist, feeling her stiffness, and said softly, "Don't be nervous. We’ll go there
like last time."
"Teleportation?"
"Yes. Close your eyes, or you might get scared." Xiaozi answered.
Venus remembered the terrible experience of roller coaster ride she had once done with her brother, so
she closed her eyes.
Suddenly there was a whistling wind in her ears and then soon she felt the silence around her.
"You can open your eyes now. We're here." Xiaozi said suddenly.
When she opened her eyes, Venus was surprised. The location they were on was at the top of a
mountain. It wasn't too high and was surrounded by lush trees. There were steep cliffs a dozen meters
in front of them.
"The air here is nice." Xiaozi said softly.
“Yeah, it's really pleasant. I feel like all my stress is gone." Venus nodded and said happily.
