Chapter 435 Evil Ghost

How could Yun Qi, a noble nine-tailed celestial fox, tolerate being locked up in a dungeon and humiliated like an abandoned dog?

When he saw the real Princess Ji Wan coming back, the last bit of hope in his heart was completely shattered.

For him, there is no difference between life and death.

It is better to be completely free than to be manipulated as a toy by others.

It's just that little regret in my heart that I can never be satisfied...

As his consciousness gradually became hazy and blurred, Yun Qi heard a voice calling him and was immediately hugged tightly by someone. The familiar warmth and tenderness brought him back to his senses.

Yun Qi struggled to open his heavy eyelids and stared at the girl who had come back before him. There was still a trace of vigilance and doubt in his dark eyes.

Sang Luo reached out and held his face, her eyes red and tears fell.

Dripping on his face.

Wet...warm...

"Your Highness, is that you?"

The boy's eyes regained clarity.

"It's me."

Before Sang Luo came this time, she made a lot of preparations. She used her own power to make many talismans in case of emergency.

When she arrived at the cell, she used a shielding formation to isolate the sounds inside and outside, stole the guards' keys and tried them one by one. With a few crisp "clicks", she unlocked the chain.

After losing the support of the chains, the boy seemed to have lost his bones in an instant and fell to the ground.

Sang Luo hurriedly hugged Yun Qi and let him fall into her arms.

Yun Qi said softly, "Your Highness, you shouldn't have come back."

Sang Luo saw that his face was thin and sunken, and his lips were bloodless. Even through several layers of cloth, she could feel his ribs, which were so thin that they made her feel uncomfortable. She felt distressed and even more angry. "If I don't come back, will they torture you to death, or will you commit suicide?"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I've let you see me in such a state of disgrace. Isn't it very ugly..."

"Are you as miserable as the first time I saw you?" Sang Luo leaned over and kissed his lips. Yun Qi's eyes trembled violently, and his heart softened like a ball of spring water.

No matter how deep their love was, no matter how many words could not express it, Sang Luo knew that now was not the time to talk about love. After comforting the little fox, she took him out of the dungeon.

Hundreds of pursuers were all killed by the talismans.

To be on the safe side, Sang Luo followed the route he remembered and returned to the small wooden house deep in the mountains and dense forests. It was a small, pure land isolated from the world, without anyone to disturb him or the prying eyes of outside forces.

She took out a water-based cleaning talisman and cleaned the room.

The young man had already fainted on the way here, so she let Yun Qiyang lie on the bed and covered him with a blanket. She went out to find some herbs and boiled them into a decoction to feed him.

The medicine flowed down his lips and onto the pillow.

Sang Luo took a few big gulps of the bitter medicine, pried open his mouth, and fed it in.

"Cough..." The boy was awakened by choking.

Sang Luo's eyes lit up, and he quickly put down the medicine and asked considerately, "Are you feeling better?"

Yun Qi's face was pale, and within that fragility, there was a hint of pity, making people want to take out their hearts and protect him. "...Thank you, Your Highness. I'm fine, just a little tired."

After all, he was a Divine Lord, so the external injuries were not a problem for him. It was just that too much blood had been drawn from him, so he needed to rest for a few days to recover.

Sang Luo brought a basin of hot water, wet it with a clean towel, and gently wiped the dirt off his face. "Then you should have a good rest first. I'll find you something to eat."

This place is deep in the mountains and old forests, and the nearest town is hundreds of miles away, so it would be quite convenient to hunt some pheasants. She planned to make him a pot of chicken soup to nourish him.

When Sang Luo stood up to leave, she realized that the young man was holding her hand, "Your Highness..."

"Um?"

"I have something to ask you."

Sang Luo turned to look at him and said, "You want to know about me, the Princess Ji Wan that the outside world has been talking about. What exactly is going on?"

"Well, please tell me, Your Highness. I want to know the truth."

Sang Luo sighed lightly. She knew that Yun Qi must have a lot of doubts in his heart. He wanted to know who the person he fell in love with was.

But Sang Luo truly had a difficult time. She wasn't from this time and space, bound by the laws of heaven and earth. She couldn't reveal her true identity and origins to anyone in that time and space, and she couldn't. She'd tried that the last time she retrieved Minos's soul bone, but she couldn't utter a single word. Any sensitive words would be erased by the laws of heaven and earth.

Sang Luo thought for a moment and said, "The Princess Ji Wan who hurt you was a fake, an evil ghost in disguise."

Yun Qi was stunned.

He had imagined that the princess he loved so deeply might not be the real Princess Ji Wan, and even suspected that she was a wandering ghost that had accidentally inhabited the princess' body. He had never expected the truth to be like this...

Sang Luo had always been puzzled. The old patriarch of the Red Fox Clan seemed to be a kind and good man. Why did he raise such a vicious Princess Ji Wan?

Has he really been spoiled since childhood and become bad?

Not necessarily.

She later searched through all of Princess Ji Wan's memories and discovered that her earlier memories were obscured by a fog. This time, when she returned, she used her original spiritual power to dispel the fog and finally glimpsed the truth.

Sang Luo finally connected everything together and knew why he traveled back 100,000 years ago for the first time and crawled out of a mass grave.

——The outside world rumored that the vicious and cruel Princess Ji Wan was actually an evil ghost in disguise. She was birds of a feather as Ye Wushuang and came from the same place, the legendary ghost clan.

The ghost tribe coveted the financial resources of the red fox tribe and wanted to take it into their pockets. They took the opportunity to ambush the princess when she was out traveling and gain experience, and brutally killed the guards.

The real Princess Ji Wan had long since died in the pile of corpses.

When Sang Luo traveled through time, she happened to encounter this time point and accidentally possessed the princess' body. After she left, she was possessed by the evil spirit again. Hundreds of years passed, and everyone believed that the evil spirit was the real Princess Ji Wan.

After Sang Luo knew all this, he sent the evil ghost to ashes.

After Yun Qi understood, he didn't ask any more questions. He lowered his head and looked at her abdomen, "Is the child... still there?"

Sang Luo stood up and hugged him without answering.

Yun Qi knew the answer. His fingers trembled slightly as he wrapped his arms around her waist and buried his head in her chest.

Sang Luo said.

“…There will be.”

…

A few days passed, and under Sang Luo's careful care, Yun Qi's body recovered quickly. Apart from being a little thinner and pale, he was no different from before.

The two of them returned to the Nine-tailed Fox Clan and the Red Fox Clan respectively, and told the patriarchs of the two clans about what happened to Ye Wushuang of Yeque Pavilion and the ghost world. The beast kings of Qingqiu and even other continents soon learned of the news, and they were all on high alert, investigating the ghost forces within their clans.

All branches of Yeque Pavilion and its related organizations will be destroyed and eradicated!

After everything was settled, Yun Qi proposed to Sang Luo again in the name of the young master of the Nine-tailed Fox Clan.
