Di Jingling was unsure whether her words had disturbed his mind or her aura had made it impossible for him to think clearly.

He gripped her slender waist tightly.

What an idiot.

He turned the Nirvana Jade Pendant, which he had been holding in his palm, over.

At the same time, he kicked the broken peach wood sword at the vengeful spirit.

Fortunately, the peach wood sword fell at his feet!

He couldn't see the vengeful spirit, nor did he know what kind of unclean thing it was, but he determined the direction of the vengeful spirit by feeling.

The vengeful spirit cried out in alarm and roared in anger before being shattered by the peach wood sword!

It's unclear whether it was the Nirvana Jade Pendant or the broken peach wood sword that had the effect.

The man was holding Xiao Tang, whose mouth was being pressed against his, and he didn't think to make a sound for a moment.

Ruyi peeked her head out from the doorway.

She glanced at the state of the two people on the ground, coughed violently, her face flushed red, and she shrank back.

Not suitable for children.

She repeated it to herself several times.

Hearing the commotion, King Yue and Yan Jiu and Yan Shi also rushed over.

and……

All they saw was a patch of black ash on the ground and two figures pressed together.

Di Huailiang: ? ? ?

What did he see?

Judging from this posture, it's clear that Master Tang forcibly...

"You... Master Tang, what are you doing?"

He's probably too old to handle such a shock.

He couldn't understand how such a thing could happen. It was simply unbelievable.

Xiao Tang came to her senses.

She opened her eyes.

Their eyes met.

In his eyes, she must look silly at this moment.

Her image was reflected in the man's dark, shimmering eyes, which also held a tenderness and doting affection that she couldn't decipher.

Xiao Tang was only a beat slow to realize that the vengeful spirit was gone.

She scrambled off Di Jingling in a flurry.

He touched the corner of his mouth.

She was completely bewildered throughout the entire process.

[Ding, congratulations host, you have completed your first romance task.]

[...]

"You're telling me that's romantic?" Xiao Tang was speechless.

Maybe this system doesn't understand what romance is, so she shouldn't waste her breath talking to it.

[Yes, how romantic! In a life-or-death situation, the host gave the most sincere response and confession. How romantic!]

The villain is smitten. Wow, how romantic!

Xiao Tang was speechless and choked with emotion.

Di Huailiang looked at the black ash on the ground and said in surprise, "As expected of a master, you've solved this headless monster? Congratulations, congratulations!"

He was probably moved by his own actions.

For the first time, I felt fortunate that I hadn't become enemies with Di Jingling.

If he becomes Di Jingling's enemy, he will die a terrible death. Even if he doesn't die at Di Jingling's hands, he will die at the hands of this headless monster.

Xiao Tang cleared her throat: "I didn't do anything. It's just that the Regent has great wisdom and his actions are astonishing."

"Oh, by the way, this must be one of your servants from the Prince's manor, who hanged himself?"

"In that case, you need to explain yourself, right?"

Di Huailiang's eyes flickered. He hadn't expected her to be so capable, knowing that this was a servant in his palace.

He lowered his eyes slightly and said softly, "Master Tang is amazing. Yes, he is our servant."

"He's holding this lucky jade in his hand. That brat stole my lucky jade, so I punished him to death."

"I never expected this..."

"Oh, he stole your lucky jade?" Xiao Tang asked doubtfully.

Even Di Jingling probably didn't believe it, so her slightly narrowed, cold gaze swept over him.

Di Jingling's gaze was extremely oppressive.

It's something that ordinary people can't resist.

Di Huailiang was almost flustered by the two people's cold and questioning gazes. He quickly lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "No... no, he found this jade, so I took it."

"Hehe." Xiao Tang chuckled. "So it was you, the King of Yue, who stole someone else's things and then turned around and accused them."

King of Yue: "..."

He didn't know what to say.

It wasn't a big deal originally.

After all, he was just a lackey.

The entire palace was his servant, so the treasures they possessed naturally belonged to him.

But now, after hearing Xiao Tang's words, he actually felt a little ashamed himself.

"I advise you to properly arrange his ashes, if you have any conscience left."

Xiao Tang reminded her, and as she was about to go back to her room to sleep, she paused again, "By the way, I have to tell you something, the one in your hand is not a lucky jade, but... a corner of an evil stone."

Di Huailiang, who was originally excited, was so frightened that he threw away the broken stone in his hand.

It fell to the ground.

"Otherwise, how do you think those vengeful spirits came to be?"

He turned pale with fright and muttered to himself, "No wonder, no wonder. I knew I had the auspicious jade with me. How could I be targeted by something unclean?"

So that's what this evil thing is.

Xiao Tang smiled and said, "I think you should either throw it into the water and bury it, or bury it in a deserted wilderness. Don't bring it out and harm people."

Especially after what had just happened, Di Huailiang had no more hesitation.

He nodded repeatedly.

He swallowed hard.

"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right. I'll have someone do it right away."

This strange stone wasn't actually a lucky jade.

At first, he actually thought it was a good thing?

Xiao Tang gave a soft hum and then returned to her room to rest.

Xiao Tang didn't know how she fell asleep afterwards.
