Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Chuchu’s Plea

Chuchu’s face was a picture of misery.

As the eldest miss of the Chu Family, when had she ever fallen on such hard times?

Her family’s accounts had been abruptly frozen. The Silver Alliance said the name on the account had been changed!

’What kind of world is this? Money, gone just like that.’

She went to the Police Department, but they ignored her, claiming it was a normal situation.

Disheveled, Chuchu finally managed to see her father, Chu Sihai.

Her father and the others were being held at their villa, surrounded by men with hostile glares.

The sight of her made Chu Sihai burst into tears.

Clinging to his daughter’s hand, the once-powerful head of the Chu Family now asked meekly, "Daughter, do you have any money on you? Jewelry would work, too. If we don’t bribe these people, they won’t even give us fruit."

Chuchu cried too, handing her father her watch, earrings, and necklace.

"Also, Chuchu, you need to go find Qin Tianxuan right now!"

Huh?

Chuchu froze.

"My dear daughter, that damned Qin Tianxuan took something from the young master of the Luo Family. Now the Luo Family suspects we’re involved with him. Our only choice is to find that bastard and beg him! If he’s willing to hand the item over, the Chu Family still has a chance. But if he refuses..."

Chu Sihai’s face fell. "Then our entire family is doomed!"

Chuchu left the villa, completely crestfallen.

’I’m the family’s only hope now!’

’Maybe it’s time for me to grow up... to do my part for the family.’

Gritting her teeth, Chuchu found the hotel where Ye Xuanxuan was staying.

Meanwhile, Ye Xuanxuan was just as lost.

Her emotions were a complicated mess.

When she’d followed a group of family elders to the Northern Domain Battle Department, Ye Xuanxuan had really just been trying to burnish her credentials. After all, a trip to the Northern Domain meant she could say she’d been to the Outer Realm battlefield. On top of her status as Eldest Miss Ye, she would gain the prestigious title of "Outer Realm Warrior."

But she never expected the sudden disaster in the Northern Domain. All those useless old men from her family were wiped out.

At the time, Eldest Miss Ye had been terrified, scared witless.

Luckily, she’d found that Outer Realm veteran, Qin Tianxuan—the man her older sister had once loved, which made him her brother-in-law, in a way.

Who knew that this encounter would change her life forever!

She didn’t know when it had started, but that man had left a deep impression on her heart.

She thought about him constantly.

Though she constantly called Qin Tianxuan a huge jerk, that was just to save face.

And now, after suddenly discovering that Qin Tianxuan’s identity was far from simple—that he might even be a favored subordinate of the Night Emperor—she was panicking.

’That big jerk, locking me up in a hotel. What does he think I am?’

Ye Xuanxuan felt incredibly wronged.

A female guard stationed at the hotel entered, speaking to her politely. "Miss Ye, a young woman named Chuchu is here to see you. Will you see her?"

"Yes! Quick, let her in!"

Even though she and Chuchu had fallen out, Ye Xuanxuan was so bored that having anyone to talk to was a welcome relief.

Chuchu entered with her head bowed and immediately jumped to the wrong conclusion. "Xuanxuan, you have more and more bodyguards around you."

"Shh! These aren’t my bodyguards. They’re the people that huge jerk sent to watch me!"

Ye Xuanxuan seized Chuchu’s hand. "Quick, think of a way to get me out of here!"

Huh?

Chuchu was stunned. "Get you out? I... I came here to ask you to save my family!"

The two girls stared at each other, then, after a moment, broke into a bitter laugh.

"Who exactly is Qin Tianxuan? How can he keep you trapped here?" Chuchu finally asked after a long silence.

Ye Xuanxuan nibbled on her fingernail. "Hmph, it’s hard to explain. But let me give you the lowdown: that guy is terrifying. He’s not some ordinary person like you might think. His status might be incredibly high!"

Chuchu’s heart skipped a beat.

’No wonder... No wonder the Chu Family has to rely on him for salvation.’

"In that case, Xuanxuan, I need to meet with Qin Tianxuan. Can you arrange it?"

Ye Xuanxuan rolled her eyes. "No way. He won’t even give me the time of day!"

"Please, just call for me. I’m afraid if I call him, he won’t even answer," Chuchu pleaded again and again.

Qin Tianxuan had destroyed Ye Xuanxuan’s cell phone long ago, so now she could only use the hotel’s landline.

She dialed Qin Tianxuan’s number, her tone once again becoming petulant and demanding. "You big jerk! Listen, Chuchu wants to see you. I know you probably don’t want to deal with her, but—"

Before she could finish, Qin Tianxuan’s voice came through. "Chuchu? I can see her."

Ye Xuanxuan froze, completely dumbfounded.

A surge of jealous anger followed, and she demanded furiously, "Why are you willing to see her? Hmph, I knew it! You have a thing for Chuchu!"

CLICK. The line went dead.

’I’m going to die of anger!’

Ye Xuanxuan stomped her foot.

A short while later, a female guard came in and spoke directly to Chuchu. "A room has been prepared next door. Our sir will be here shortly. Miss Chuchu, please wait for him there."

Overjoyed, Chuchu quickly went to the room next door.

Ye Xuanxuan stood in the doorway, watching with wide eyes. Suddenly, her eyes reddened. "He got a room right next to mine? What’s he trying to do? Is he doing this just to spite me?"

The female guards standing around were speechless.

’Why does this Eldest Miss of the Ye Family always think everything is about her?’

Chuchu sat in the adjacent room, dazed for a moment. Then, as if struck by a thought, she quickly found her makeup bag, went into the bathroom, and began to apply her makeup.

She had plenty of time, so she decided to take a shower as well.

Afterward, she shed her jacket, leaving only a small blouse and a short skirt that perfectly showcased her figure.

’This is for the family! For my whole family! If... if there’s no other choice, I’ll have to sacrifice myself!’

Chuchu looked at her reflection in the mirror.

Suddenly, her face flushed, burning hot.

Outside, the sound of footsteps approached. Qin Tianxuan was here!
