Black Bellied Belle: Demon Lord, Bite The Bait Please Chapter 25.2

Chapter 25.2 : The Truth Back Then

With n.o.body watching them anymore, Qing Bei no longer pretended to be crippled but nervously walked over before Qing Yu. "Sis, you ate so much with your act earlier. Aren't you feeling uncomfortable?"

Although it was just an act, but she had gone too far. She had always had a small appet.i.te and Qing Bei had never seen her eat so much. Moreover, they had all been greasy meat dishes where even he had only taken a pretentious little bite of those meats himself.

"I did not eat anything!" Qing Yu said as she blinked her eyes innocently.

"I clearly saw you eat so much!" Qing Bei's were wide as he stared. They had been sitting just across each other, and at that close distance, how could he possibly be mistaken?

"I really did not eat anything." Qing Yu spread her hands wide helplessly. "It was merely a quick sleight of hand. The food were all s.h.i.+fted out from my mouth, and I did not eat a single bite."

"What?" Qing Bei's face was incredulous. "s.h.i.+fted out to where? ?"

"You know those ferocious dogs that are kept in the Duke's Manor? I gave all of it to them. I am guessing that they're now all full and contented and snoring in their sleep!" Qing Yu said with a laugh.

When one cultivated the Buried Soul Arts to a certain level, they would be able to fast completely without any sustenance at all. At times when she cultivated, it was common for her to not even take a drop of water at all for an entire month.

And when she ate, it was in very small portions. She did not eat to fill her stomach, but only because of the loneliness of the mouth, just feeling that chewing something would alleviate the urge.

Hearing her explain, Qing Bei then nodded his head as it dawned on him. "So that's what happened. I had been worried that you might have overstuffed yourself by eating so much!"

"Moron. Am I the kind of fool that drags myself into it when scheming against people?' Qing Yu rolled her eyes at him indignantly.

His mouth then split into a bashful smile.

Qing Yu sat down and poured herself a cup of water before she took a sip. She then smiled and said: "With this, that woman most probably would not carelessly come find trouble with us anymore. After this time, I believe she knows that I am not one that is easily manipulated. But if just the reconstruction of the Tranquil Abode was able to force her to come out of seclusion, I am a little suspicious how that woman was able to swallow her pride and remain silent for so many years."

Once those words came out of her mouth, she saw Qing Bei looking at her gravely. Without waiting for her to ask aloud, he gave a long sigh and said: "Although you have always said….. that you are not the real Qing Yu, but having just heard you say these words, it seems, that I really have to believe you, that….. Qing Yu….. really isn't here anymore."

"Our mother, left just after giving birth to us. The d.u.c.h.ess had always been jealous of Mother, hated Mother. Hence even after she's no longer around, the d.u.c.h.ess still detests the place that Mother had lived in before, and Mother's children." Qing Bei's face was grave and serious, his clear and good looking upslanted eyes fixed straight on her. "In actual fact, Qing Yu and I….. are not Father's biological children, but the truth of this matter….. is known only to Father and the d.u.c.h.ess."

His hands had unconsciously clenched up into fists, seemingly trying very hard to suppress something inside, struggling so much that the green veins were visibly bulging up on the back of his hands.

Qing Yu did not say anything, but merely looked at him quietly. The youth must be struggling very hard in his heart at that moment, faced with the past that he had never wanted to recall.

What she could do, was only to listen attentively.

"I had only come to learn of it when I accidentally overheard the d.u.c.h.ess' conversation with her subordinate."

The youth closed his eyes, his voice suddenly turning a little hoa.r.s.e. "But most unfortunately, I was discovered. She ordered for people to break both my legs, and forced poison that could turn me into an idiot down my throat."

"That year, I was only five."
