"An'an, have you noticed anything wrong with Yan Shaoheng?"

Yue Xiyuan felt that Yan An's sudden idea to attack Yan Shaoheng must mean he thought there was something wrong with him.

"I can't quite put my finger on it, but ever since I saw him on the day of Emperor Ya Nan's wedding, I've felt a strange sense of familiarity with his scent."

“Until yesterday when I smelled that scent again, I realized that he had the same scent as when Sister Nianxia was infected with dozens of Gu worms.”

Yue Xiyuan naturally knew that Yan An must have sensed it, but he really didn't smell the scent that Yan An was talking about.

What does it taste like?

"I can't quite put my finger on it. It has a slightly bloody smell, but not entirely. It's very faint."

Yue Xiyuan turned to look at An Si.

"If Your Highness can't smell it, then I certainly can't smell it either."

"So, An'an, you suspect that Yan Shaoheng also has Gu worms on him?"

Yue Xiyuan suddenly realized why Yan An wanted to make a move on Yan Shaoheng.

“However, An’an, if you cooperate with him, it will inevitably expose that you are Luo Zhi. At that time, Yan Shaoheng probably won’t want to cooperate with you anymore.”

Yan An pursed her lips, smiled, and teasingly curved the corners of her mouth.

"Could it be that he wants to kill me and take my place?"

“Yan Shaoheng is a ruthless and vicious man. If he knew that the water of Tianshan came from you, and given your relationship with me, he would definitely turn against you.”

"That depends on whether he has the ability."

Looking across the entire Tiancang Continent, there are very few who can defeat Yan An. Even Yue Xiyuan could only manage a draw with her.

If Yan An were to use the Crimson God Whip, combined with the space, the water of Tianshan, and the poison all over her body, the person in the world who could keep her alive probably wouldn't have been born yet.

Yan An smiled knowingly, seemingly very satisfied with Yue Xiyuan's answer.

"You also think Yan Shaoheng will make a move against me?"

Yue Xiyuan stared at Yan An's calculating eyes and instantly understood Yan An's intentions.

Meanwhile, An Si, standing to the side, seemed to find his princess's gaze quite familiar; the last time he saw it was when Yue Zhixiao was down on her luck.

"Is An'an trying to lure the snake out of its hole?"

“If we wait for Yan Shaoheng to slip up, we’ll be in the dark while they’re in the light. We’ll never know what they’re planning to do next. So I think we should take the initiative and let Yan Shaoheng come to us.”

"As long as Yan Shaoheng is not eliminated, who knows how many more people in this world will be turned into living dead by them."

At that moment, Yue Xiyuan seemed to see Bai Qing's words reflected in Yan An.

Fifteen years from now, Yan An will surely protect the Moon Kingdom and ensure its peace and prosperity for generations to come.

"What does An'an want to do?"

"The scent I smelled on Sister Nianxia was also on Yan Shaoheng, which is why I suspect that Yan Shaoheng also has Gu worms on him, and it is even possible that Yan Shaoheng is using his own body to raise Gu worms."

"Is it like those living dead? But they don't seem like them either."

An Si was puzzled, because Yan Shaoheng and those living dead were almost identical in every way.

“An Si is right, they are different, so that’s something we need to figure out.”

"Since An'an says so, I'll have An Yi investigate."

"If Yan Shaoheng also has Gu worms, tell An to be careful, lest Yan Shaoheng plot against him."

If Yan Shaoheng has Gu worms on his body, then judging from the current situation, Yan Shaoheng must be a natural container for raising Gu worms.

With dozens of Gu worms in his body, yet still able to function like an ordinary person, Yan Shaoheng's body must possess something extraordinary.

Normal people use their bodies to nurture Gu, otherwise, like Yue Xiyuan who was afflicted by Gu, they would fall into a deep sleep and eventually be controlled by others.

Otherwise, like Yun Yao, they would suffer backlash at the slightest provocation.

"Okay, An Si, go and send a message by carrier pigeon immediately, and have An Yi investigate."

"It is Your Highness."

"It seems that Yan Shaoheng does not know who my master is."

After all, Bai Qing is a disciple of Tianxuan Daoren, a highly respected figure in all four kingdoms. His disciple will inevitably receive preferential treatment from all four kingdoms.

However, Yan Shaoheng only thinks of Yan An as Yue Xiyuan's fiancée, and probably doesn't know that Bai Qing took Yan An as his disciple.

Yan An thought about how she was taken away by her master as soon as she was born, which was a well-known fact. So why did Yan Shaoheng not take her seriously?

Yan An's little heart broke instantly.

“After Yan Shaoheng goes back, he will definitely send people to investigate you. They will soon find out just how amazing my little fiancée is.”

With eyes full of affection, Yue Xiyuan praised Yan An softly and gently stroked her hand.

"By the way, how's the investigation into Wang Xiaorou going? Do you need my help?"

"Not for now. We've already made some progress, but the Dark Pavilion is still investigating."

"That's good. It seems that Wang Xiaorou is indeed not as simple as she seems."

"Perhaps her identity is beyond our imagination."

Wang Xiaorou was the woman who stopped Gu Yi'an that day and escaped from Wangjia Village.

Since that day, Wang Xiaorou has been assigned to Yuelaike.

"Hmm, to escape from the living dead, to evade their sweep, and to follow Yue Zhixiao's men all the way to the capital, all of this shows that this person is not so simple."

"If someone has never been to the moat, it's impossible for them not to get lost, let alone find Yue Zhixiao's mechanism directly."

Yue Xiyuan added.

After all, even he couldn't unravel the inverted Qimen formation in a short time; they only found the mechanism by relying on Qi Hongchen.

Wang Xiaorou discovered Yue Zhixiao's secret all by herself. How could they believe that Wang Xiaorou was just a simple farm girl?

"Here, take this."

Yan An's consciousness flashed, and a blueprint landed in his hand.

"Is this hot pot?"

"Yes, I've drawn the dimensions and shape of the pot. Have An San make a few based on that and see."

“You’re more popular in the Dark Pavilion than I am now.”

"What, are you jealous because I'm so popular?"

Yan An leaned close to Yue Xiyuan's body, a sweet smile curving her lips. Her voice was tender and affectionate, and she breathed out a sticky, sweet breath, like a spoiled kitten, making Yue Xiyuan's heart flutter.

How could Yue Xiyuan resist Yan An's temptation? He immediately pulled Yan An into his arms.

"An'an earns money to support me, why should I be jealous?"

Yan An pouted in dissatisfaction, "Only you can talk about being a kept man so confidently."

"It's delicious to be a kept man."

"Pop~" Yue Xiyuan suddenly kissed Yan An's pouting lips.

"Oh! Are you born in the Year of the Dog?"

"Woof woof~"

"Moon Puppy!"

"My imperial brother also has the surname Yue!"

"Then you are Yuan Xiaogou!"
