Chapter Five In his arms, she felt like a pitiful little kit

n the sofa with Mu Xing in his arms, giving a faint hum in response.The bodyguard took the food out of the lunchbox and arranged it neatly on the mobile dining table, pushing it in front of the man. "...After tidying up the dishes, Mu Xing eagerly went to find Shen Lue to have a good spar, but he was nowhere to be found.

Only Fu Lingxiao stood alone at the doorway, one hand tucked in his pocket, his tall and straight figure staring into the vast mountains.

Sunlight streamed down, bathing him in a halo. His handsome face was expressionless, like a deity, so perfect it seemed unreal.

Mu Xing's steps faltered, and she stared at him blankly.

My uncle is really handsome, more handsome than anyone she's ever seen.

Feeling the scorching gaze, Fu Lingxiao turned his head and saw the little girl leaning against the door frame, her beautiful eyes fixed on him.

Dull and stupid, like a little fool.

He said coldly, “Are you done watching”

"Not enough, not enough." Mu Xing was very honest, "A man as handsome as my uncle, even if I liked him for three lifetimes, it still wouldn't be enough."

Fu Lingxiao : "..."

"Uncle Xiao." Mu Xing walked over and looked around, asking, "Where's Shen Lue"

Fu Lingxiao suppressed his expression, "He had something to do and left first."

The scammer ate her barbecue and ran away.

Her pretty little face crumpled into a frown for a moment, then smoothed out again. It didn't matter; she was going to work at her uncle's place anyway. She'd have plenty of opportunities to spar with him later on.

It's only noon now, wouldn't it be boring for Uncle to be here all alone

Mu Xing thought for a moment and suggested, "Uncle, there are hot springs in the back mountains. Master said that soaking in hot springs can relieve stress on the body. I'll take you to soak for a while."

Hot springs

Are you still thinking of making a move while Shen Lu is away

He couldn't wait even until nightfall. Since he was so eager, of course he would give her this opportunity.

Fu Lingxiao gazed deeply at Mu Xing, "Good."

Mu Xing took a set of her master's clothes to change Fu Lingxiao, and then took him to the back mountain.

Deep within the woods, there is a secluded and tranquil natural hot spring. It is huge and crystal clear, with steam rising from the surface of the water. Just looking at it gives one a sense of comfort and peace.

"It's truly a nourishing place."

Although the little girl's intentions were impure, Fu Lingxiao still praised her.

Mu Xing nodded, "That's right, and no one will come here. Uncle Xiao, you can soak for as long as you want."

Nobody came, so death here would go unnoticed.

Fu Lingxiao's eyes darkened, slowly unbuttoning his shirt. As the shirt opened bit by bit, the man's strong upper body gradually came into view. Solid chest muscles, beautiful abs, clear boundaries, full of power.

Her gaze followed the man's hand, moving slowly. Mu Xing watched and watched, inexplicably remembering the roasted chicken she had eaten a few days ago, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

Fu Lingxiao took off his shirt and strode into the hot spring. Mu Xing grabbed him by the arm.

Her gaze fell on the man's sexy mermaid line on either side of his abdominal muscles, and she involuntarily swallowed. "Uncle Xiao," she said, "you haven't taken off your pants and shoes yet."

That covetous gaze made Fu Lingxiao's face tense instantly, his voice coldly rebuking, "At your tender age, don't think about things you shouldn't!"

Is there a relationship between age and the desire to eat roasted chicken

Mu Xing didn't understand.

Fu Lingxiao had already broken free from her grip, stepped into the hot spring with one stride, leaned back, and closed his eyes to meditate.

After a while, a pair of soft little hands suddenly reached out and grabbed his shoulder and neck from behind.

Well, finally decided to do it

The man, who had been on guard, suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze cold and sharp. He quickly raised his hand, with lightning speed, grabbing the slender wrist and pulling the person behind him close.

By the time Mu Xing reacted, she had already been grabbed by Fu Lingxiao behind the neck and pressed into the water.

She was dumbfounded.

What happened

Why did Uncle suddenly drag her into the water

She wanted to struggle, but as a complete landlubber, she was terrified of water. The moment she fell in, she couldn't move an inch and would simply be held under.

Just as Mu Xing was about to suffocate, Fu Lingxiao pulled her out of the water.

"Tell me, who sent you to kill me"

Mu Xing coughed violently and suddenly heard such a cold question. She wiped the water from her face and frowned in confusion, "What are you talking about, little uncle"

Fu Lingxiao coldly glared at her, "Playing dumb"

Mu Xing was confused again, "I'm not pretending to be stupid, I really don't know what you're talking about."

"Don't you admit it"

Fu Lingxiao's expression was gloomy, intending to push Mu Xing into the water again to force a confession. His slender legs moved before him, reaching out and clamping onto his waist tightly.

"Let go." The man's voice was chillingly cold.

Mu Xing was completely oblivious. Her entire attention was focused on getting away from the water. She tried to hug Fu Lingxiao, but her arms were too short. Even stretching with all her might, she still couldn't reach him. She could only occasionally graze his chest with her fingertips.

Fu Lingxiao's body trembled slightly, his face becoming increasingly grim.

He tried to get Mu Xing off him, but the little girl was like she was firmly rooted on him. Ironically, at this moment, his legs suddenly went numb.

His body swayed, and along with him, Mu Xing fell into the hot spring.

Falling into the water once again, Mu Xing was terrified to the point of almost losing all reaction. Instinctively, she hugged Fu Lingxiao.

Just like a drowning person, grasping the only piece of driftwood.

The water was warm, but Fu Lingxiao clearly felt a small lump in his arms that was ice-cold and shivering.

Mr. Fu, who loathed physical contact with others to the extreme, for the first time was not thrown away. He frowned tightly, and after a moment, he reached out and hugged Mu Xing, who was clinging to him like an octopus, and leaned towards the shore.

Shen Yue, who was hiding in the shadows, saw this scene and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

If his eyes weren't deceiving him, then there was something wrong with the water. Grandpa Fu had only been in for a short while and already forgotten about his cleanliness issues.

Arriving at the shore, Fu Lingxiao hugged Mu Xing and sat down. The upper half of his body was already out of the water, but the little girl still had her eyes closed, her face pale, and her breathing seemed to have stopped.

"Mu Xing."

Fu Lingxiao gently patted her pale little face, his tone softened, "Wake up."

Mu Xing's senses were tense, barely registering the outside world. Restlessly, she nudged into that warm embrace until their bodies fit together perfectly, only then did she find a sliver of security.

Seeing that she still reacted, Fu Lingxiao slowly let out a breath and reached out to pinch her nose.

Tiny, squishy, and surprisingly pleasant to the touch.

A feeling of suffocation washed over Mu Xing, making her open her mouth in discomfort. She felt the freedom of breathing again, and only then did she emerge from her self-imposed isolation. The moment her eyes opened, she instinctively shrank her neck in fear.

How could she be in her uncle's arms

The surroundings are damp, they're still in the water!

Mu Xing had just relaxed, her emotions instantly tensing up again as she desperately squeezed into Fu Lingxiao's arms.

"Uncle, can you take me up there"

A faint plea echoed within her embrace, a soft voice laced with palpable fear.

I thought this little girl was fearless, but it turns out she's afraid of water.

Fu Lingxiao lowered his head to look at the little one in his arms, like a pitiful little kitten. He held him up, so soft and delicate it was unbelievable.

"Tell me who sent you to kill me, and I'll take you right up there."

Lord Fu, known for his decisive and ruthless nature, was surprisingly patient this time. Even he found himself amazed by it.

Mu Xing tried her best to calm herself down. "No one sent me to kill you, and I don't want to kill you."

Fu Lingxiao's voice was cold and calm, "Then what were you doing just now"

"Just now"

Mu Xing frowned, pondered for a moment, and suddenly reacted. She looked up at Fu Lingxiao: "Just now I saw that your uncle's shoulder and neck muscles were a bit tense, so I wanted to help you press them to relax. My master used to soak in hot springs, and I would do this for him. Is there a problem"

Is that all

Fu Lingxiao stared intently at the little girl in his arms, her whole body was drenched. Because she had choked on water, her bright eyes were now red and swollen, like a pitiful little white rabbit.

How pitiful it looks, how innocent it seems.

His gaze was always sharp, yet he couldn't find even a trace of deceit in this little girl's eyes.

Could it be that she was wrongly accuseder, and walked out of the villa.Mu Xing stopped her steps and turned to look at Yun Tuo, "Do you know about Fu Ye's condition"Yun Tuo nodded gravely, "Schizophrenia, in severe cases, can cause halluci...
