Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Chapter 2375: Chapter 2375: Weirdo

Xuexue didn’t answer and instead asked back, "How did you end up here? Something up?"

The Weirdo even smacked the table with his body, a piece of meat flew off the plate, he tilted his head back and caught it in his mouth in one go, chewed a few times with his eyes closed in bliss, then finally answered lazily, "I just went to the Celestial Master’s Mansion and slaughtered Celestial Master Zhang to avenge my Xiao Hei, and dropped by to let you know on the way."

Hearing this, Xuexue froze for a moment. "What? You slaughtered Celestial Master Zhang?"

The Weirdo said as a matter of course, "Yeah. He slaughtered Xiao Hei, I slaughtered him in revenge, that’s called one life for another. Master didn’t torture him, finished him with one stroke, that’s already boundless mercy."

Back in the Deep Mountains and Ancient Forests, Xiao Hei had accompanied him through countless days and nights.

Though it was a wolf, in his heart it was family—no, closer than family. Back then those so‑called relatives turned him into this neither-human-nor-ghost monstrosity. He almost couldn’t take the blow and wanted to end it all. It was Xiao Hei’s mother who saved him twice.

That kindness, he would remember for a lifetime.

Now that Xiao Hei had been beaten to death by Celestial Master Zhang, if he didn’t avenge it, he’d feel his conscience uneasy. Every night in his dreams, he saw Xiao Hei’s mother looking at him with tears in her eyes.

As for slaughtering Celestial Master Zhang, Xuexue had no objections, even felt a bit of secret delight. Back then she chopped off his wrist precisely because she was afraid he’d go after Xiao Taohong and Little Tiger. Now that the Weirdo had butchered him, that future threat was gone.

It was just that suddenly hearing this news left her a bit stunned, that was all.

Xuexue reached out for her chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, chewed it elegantly a few times and swallowed, then said blandly, "Killed him, killed him. No need to report to me."

The Weirdo grinned wide. "You’re the employer. I’m afraid of you."

"Oh, really?"

Xuexue slanted him a look, clearly not buying it. The Weirdo was the Eldest Prince of the Former Dynasty, every other word "Master this, Master that." Him, afraid of her? He was probably just afraid she’d stop giving him the miracle medicine.

The Weirdo: "Of course it’s true. Don’t forget our employer–employee deal."

They had an agreement: the Weirdo had to work for Xuexue for one year, and only after that would he get the miracle medicine. Otherwise, as the Eldest Prince of the Former Dynasty, would he be willing to take orders from a newly debuted little girl?

Xuexue nodded. "Mm, all right then. I’ve got a job for you now."

The Weirdo: "What is it? Say it."

Xuexue: "Just now in the restaurant, two men came in, one tall, one thin. Did you see them?"

"I saw them. What about it?"

"Go find them, then tail them. See what they’re up to."

"Piece of cake."

As soon as the Weirdo finished speaking, his body sprang off the stool and his whole person flew out through the window.

Xuexue and Zi Xia froze for a moment, thinking, the Eldest Prince really does come and go like a shadow.

Well, he was the Eldest Prince of the Former Dynasty after all. The enemies who crippled him were still alive in this world. If he showed up openly on the streets of the Capital, it would definitely cause a sensation, and once it alerted the Empress Dowager, if she learned he was still alive, it would probably mean another round of slaughter.

Xuexue knew the Weirdo’s heart was set on getting the miracle medicine, clearly for the sake of revenge. He was hiding his identity now, probably also to bide his time and nurse his strength, waiting for the day he could kill his enemies with his own hands.

"Miss, stop staring, he’s already gone. Hurry and eat." Zi Xia spoke while scooping her a bowl of rice and setting it in front of her.

"That Weirdo has no manners at all, actually eating the Miss’s food. Doesn’t know his place one bit. Miss, I don’t mean to nag, but you can’t spoil him like this next time. Servants need to act like servants; how can they overstep the rules?" Zi Xia kept on muttering.
