It had been days, yet the snow seem to be nonstop on pouring over the Kingdom of Xi'an, where the youngest miss of the Xiao Manor lived in.
Yet, the weather fully contradicted the situation in the small courtyard of Xiao manor's youngest miss.
The sound of flames crawling and consuming each and every part of the courtyard was distinct, anyone's ears who were present can clearly hear it. Thick black smoke and a lot of smog were all over the place, people could hardly get near due to the heat and fumes, and maybe because of fear.
The bright orange flames roared and rose up to ten meters high was very concentrated and ill- considerate.
Even the strong snow and the moisture amongst the air was not enough to extinguish the roaring flames of destruction.
Yet, the youngest miss stood in front of her own courtyard, smiling quietly ear to ear.
Her eyes contained a cold line that could immediately freeze normal people to death.
A few people slowly speculated that the youngest miss might've lost her mind, grinning in front of her own burning place.
But had she really gone crazy?
A normal person, no, a large crowd of people would already think that those emotions displayed on her face were inappropriate for a young girl especially her age.
However, the youngest miss wasn't the youngest miss anymore.
An aura of gloominess and death surrounded her, her smile suddenly turned a bit bigger at the sound of heavy footsteps nearing to her position, and even before they could tell it, she returned back to her original innocent countenance.
A sweet, delicate but frantic expression was on her face, her large eyes had long replaced that cold line with, instead, a scared look with an obvious innocence.
Her delicate lips were bitten in nervousness as she fiddled with her fingers and shook so hard on her feet. Her whole form was actually low-temperatured and layered with frost, and hair was drizzled with snow, but the ends were charred by the fire.
With this, she turned from an incredibly evil being into the sweetest, innocent but abused youngest miss of the Xiao Manor.
She was barefoot and only wore two layers of clothing with her hair untied before she escaped the tragedy, silently stood on dirty snow as a whole mess.
The redness on her cheeks, nose, feet, and fingertips can be seen clearly, hands clenched on the ends of her sleeves with strength.
One would find her appearance pitiful and weak, a small girl standing alone in front of her burning place, making some onlookers impulsively want to grab her and protect.
Even if some onlookers had cloudy thoughts before she turned pure, after they saw that innocent countenance they regularly observe from the youngest miss, they didn't doubt further.
Meanwhile most stood still and waited, regardless of what is happening it did not involve them, but a few hurried to find water to stop the fire.
The footsteps then reached the youngest miss, a man around 40 years of age and wore a set of dark brocade robes stood and look down on her dirty little face, before fisting his hands on his hips and asked in a scolding manner.
"What's the meaning of this? Why is your own courtyard burning down? What are the servants doing, just standing and gazing away?"
The man seemed very surprised, yet he was actually nonchalant, not even showing the slightest worry for the youngest Miss's well-being.
This man was the Father, a person who stood as the head of Xiao manor and must be addressed as Lord Father.
Her eyes thinned a bit, she could tell just from the shards of the previous Xiao Lian Feng's memories, this was notably the cold-blooded father she'd known since birth.
Well, speaking wisely in terms of perspective, the new Xiao Lian Feng never had a father she could acknowledge.
His face was a beautiful craftsmanship, nose, lips and chin seemed to be carved from pure jade, and with eyes of a phoenix that are lively and very alert.
His hair was still dark and his stature was mature and resolute, a highly distinguished aura belonging of a smart and cunning official radiated from his form.
His appearance could be regarded handsome, and if she could, she would buy and turn him into one of her gigolos, but it was a huge shame.
His true persona was a scum through and through, only hidden by such a thick face.
The youngest miss turned her expression blank for a short moment, meant to be understood as if she was thinking very deeply what to say, before she answered in her normal manner of speech.
"But Feng... Feng'er doesn't know them..." the familiar slow voice spoke injustice first.
Xiao Lian Feng addressed the people standing idly by and watching, her large shining eyes were almost spilling fresh dew.
Evil thoughts attended the mind, but the tongue was fluent to spew grievances. She decided to slowly change, change it all.
"But, Why did Lord Father come too late? have you forgotten Feng'er?"
She paused again to emphasize how the idea was formed in her mind, then continued, "Do you wished for Feng'er's tiny courtyard to burn into ashes? Oh no, how could Feng'er live?!"
Her tone blended a very clueless and innocent, yet a miserable and suffering pampered child, in midst of her phrase, she was deeply sneering in her head.
The onlookers looked surprised to hear her words.
The normal youngest miss, Xiao Lian Feng, wouldn't even dare seek attention with that tone, yet she spoke fluently and even hinted a few remarks and hidden meanings.
She sounded a bit different, but what did this mean?
The Lordship had truly done something wrong to the youngest miss?
How would the servants, being spectators of the scene, not hesitate to form ridiculous thoughts?
Whispers blew in the midst of the cold, wintry night and almost overcame the howling of the fire in front.
The Lord Father was provoked immediately, his face looked like a bulging red tomato due to anger and slight embarrassment.
In truth, he did slack for a few minutes after hearing the news of the youngest Miss's courtyard burning, but he didn't know Xiao Lian Feng dared to speak so... Brutely.
That's right, those weren't the actions of the Youngest Miss in the Xiao Manor. Her words were sharp as a blade, but her countenance was unspeakably innocent. Totally incomparable to her abrupt words.
Those weren't the typical actions of the Youngest Miss, Xiao Lian Feng. In fact, she wasn't the genuine Xiao Lian Feng!
She was the lone nightmare of each and every agent of the Organization, and she was the deity of life to everyone she saved back from her previous life.
She was the Death Sovereign, and her name was also Xiao Lian Feng, who was suddenly found by the Old Heavens to reincarnate in this Realm!
