"What do we do now? What do we do?" After arriving at the young master's mansion, a room full of people gathered together. Tian Haoze paced back and forth anxiously, slapping his head repeatedly.
"Stop walking around like that, you're making this old man dizzy."
Tian Nanxing sat casually in the chair, glaring unhappily at Tian Haoze who kept pacing back and forth.
"Godfather, aren't you in a hurry? Huh?" Tian Haoze plopped back into his chair.
However, Bei Minghaotian, the person in question, sat quietly as if nothing had happened.
"Tian'er, is it really that serious?" Sima Jiaorong couldn't help but ask. Looking at Tian Haoze's appearance, she knew how serious the matter was.
Bei Ming Haotian looked at Sima Jiaorong and replied, "Auntie, every month on the night of the full moon, when my demonic nature takes effect, I lose all willpower, become unrecognizable to my family and friends, and cause irreparable harm to those around me."
Bei Ming Haotian isn't afraid for people to know; that's a fact.
"What good would it do to go back to the Netherworld Continent?"
Sima Jiaorong felt heartbroken and looked at Bei Ming Haotian, unsure of how to help him.
Bei Ming Haotian did not answer the question, but sat quietly.
Nangong Ziyan held his hand, knowing the bitterness in his heart, and said she would stay by his side all night.
Bei Ming Haotian looked at her with emotion. With her in his heart, perhaps tomorrow night would be different.
"Madam, Haotian must return to the Netherworld Continent. There is a dungeon in the back mountain of the Netherworld Palace. Every month on the night of the full moon, Haotian locks himself up with chains made of black iron. Otherwise, the consequences will be severe."
Seeing that Bei Minghaotian did not answer, Tian Haoze answered for him.
Nangong Ruichen hadn't expected that the rumors were actually true.
"Lock himself up with iron chains?" Upon hearing this, Nangong Ziyan stood up in surprise, her heart aching. She could almost picture that scene; Haotian looked so pitiful.
"No need to go back. I will stay by Haotian's side tomorrow night." Nangong Ziyan believed that her special identity would be able to control the demonic nature within Haotian.
"no."
Bei Ming Haotian resolutely refused. He dared not gamble, nor did he dare take the risk. He could hurt anyone, but he could not hurt the woman he loved most.
"Haotian, you must believe in Yan'er. I can remove the demonic nature from Zixuan's body, and I believe I can suppress the demonic nature in your body as well." Nangong Ziyan looked at Beiming Haotian firmly, refusing to give up. She was born for Haotian, and she also wanted to prove whether she was as miraculous as Venerable Yunxiao had said.
"Yan'er..."
Bei Ming Haotian looked helplessly at her silly face. It was precisely because of her warm heart that he could no longer live without her. Even if there was hell ahead, he would want to plunge into it without hesitation.
"Yan'er, will this work? What if Haotian doesn't recognize you?"
Nangong Jingqi disagreed; he couldn't risk his precious little sister's life.
"Second brother, don't worry! Everything will be alright."
Nangong Ziyan tried to comfort everyone with a smile, but everyone's face was full of worry, and no one could manage a smile.
"By the way, Mother, is Third Uncle's second sister getting married?" Nangong Ziyan suddenly changed the subject and asked, trying to change the atmosphere. She knew everyone was still worried, but she would not send Haotian back to the dungeon and lock him up with iron chains.
Nangong Ziyan's question left Sima Jiaorong completely baffled.
"No, your third uncle thought the Ma family was too stingy and didn't agree to the marriage between Young Master Ma and your second sister. It should be over now!" Sima Jiaorong replied, sighing inwardly. Perhaps this is fate! Will Yan'er's fate be as bumpy as hers?
"Wow! Mother, I heard that when Master Ma and Young Master Ma came to propose marriage, they only brought two boxes of pastries. Do you think Second Sister will agree to it? Master Ma is notoriously stingy!"
Nangong Ziyan tried her best to find topics to talk about, but everyone seemed uninterested.
"No, we can't just sit here and wait to die. I'll go to the nearby market and see if anyone knows how to make bamboo rafts or anything, as long as we can get to the Qingshui River."
Tian Haoze couldn't sit still any longer. He hadn't listened to a word Nangong Ziyan said. He couldn't let Haotian stay on Lingxian Island. If Haotian lost control of himself tomorrow night and went on a killing spree, Haotian would carry the infamy for the rest of his life, and he would never be able to shake off the word "devil."
"Ze'er, don't worry too much. Isn't the girl here? Didn't your Master Yunxiao say that the girl's appearance will change Tian'er's fate? We might as well give it a try."
To be honest, Tian Nanxing also wanted to see if this girl staying by Tian'er's side would be as miraculous as her senior brother had said.
"Godfather..." Tian Haoze roared angrily, disapproving of his godfather's actions. He could not joke about Yan'er's life, much less the lives of everyone on Lingxian Island. Every full moon night of the fifteenth of the lunar month, he would stand guard outside the dungeon. Haotian's blood-red eyes seemed to desperately need fresh blood to nourish them; he thought of nothing but killing.
"Hey! Why are you yelling so loudly? My ears are very sharp." Tian Nanxing glared at Tian Haoze.
"Stop arguing. Haoze is right. I cannot joke with Yan'er's life." Bei Ming Haotian stood up. "Haoze, go and see if there is a boat or bamboo raft that can reach the Qingshui River."
"Okay!" Tian Haoze nodded, this was the right decision.
Turning to Hua Rujin, he said, "Don't wander around today. It'll be very unsafe on the island." It wasn't hard for Tian Haoze to guess why the ship was destroyed. It was all aimed at Haotian. Someone didn't want Haotian to leave Lingxian Island, and they had many spies in the shadows. A little investigation would reveal who it was.
