“Yan’er…” Bei Ming Haotian looked at her in confusion.
Nangong Ziyan blushed slightly. "Haotian, lower your head and I'll tell you what happened." Nangong Ziyan knew that if she didn't explain things clearly today, Haotian would definitely call a pharmacist to come and treat her. She had been with him for many days and knew his stubbornness.
Bei Ming Haotian looked at Nangong Ziyan with confusion, but still squatted down and leaned close to her lips. Nangong Ziyan whispered a few words in his ear, then buried her hands in embarrassment. She was really too ashamed to face anyone. It was embarrassing to talk about it, and it was embarrassing not to talk about it either...
After hearing this, Bei Ming Haotian smiled silently, his sharp black eyes looking at Nangong Ziyan with a hint of mockery. So, Yan'er has grown up quite a bit.
He helped Nangong Ziyan up and sat her on the soft couch, letting her lean against his lap. He gently removed Nangong Ziyan's hand, making her look at him directly. Looking at her like this, her eyes, beneath her thick eyelashes, became even brighter, shining with a gentle and shy expression that captivated Beiming Haotian.
Nangong Ziyan was extremely embarrassed and buried her face in Beiming Haotian's waist again. The gentle impact caused his body to react immediately, and he stiffened up, not daring to move.
"Princess, the Demon Lord and his party of three are staying at the Cloud Mist Inn in Cloud Mist Town. There is an auction here tomorrow, and merchants from the four continents have gathered here. Also, the young master of the Northern Underworld Continent was killed, and His Highness and Hong Yiming have arrived here as well. The young master and princess of the Western Regions are also staying at this inn. They will not leave until after tomorrow's auction."
Outside the Cloud Mist Inn, a jeweled carriage was parked, and a man in black respectfully reported from outside the carriage.
Upon hearing this, Baili Yuechan, inside the carriage, furrowed her brows slightly. Baili Jun'ao had actually managed to escape all the obstacles she had set up and arrive at the Netherworld Continent so quickly. It seemed she had truly underestimated him. But what about Bei Ming Yifeng's death? Had the Demon Lord begun his revenge? Things were getting more and more interesting.
"Make the arrangements. We'll set off after tomorrow's auction." The gentle voice carried an air of absolute authority.
"Yes, Princess." The man in black turned and entered the Cloud Mist Inn.
Bei Ming Haotian, you will never escape my Baili Yuechan's clutches in this lifetime. The man I, Baili Yuechan, set my sights on will surely be mine. Baili Yuechan smiled alluringly. Now it all depends on the East Sea Continent. If the marriage between Dongfang Yifei and Nangong Ziyan is ruined, she will have no choice but to kill Nangong Ziyan. She will not allow any stumbling blocks on her path.
“Your Highness, look, it’s Baili Yuechan’s carriage.” Hong Yiming was sitting by the window on the second floor drinking tea when he saw Baili Yuechan getting out of the carriage.
Baili Jun'ao, dressed in a light blue robe, his long black hair cascading casually down his back, exuded a captivatingly relaxed and languid air. He leaned listlessly against his chair, motionless, his eyes like mist, unfathomable yet mysteriously alluring. He showed no surprise at Baili Yuechan's appearance whatsoever! It should be Baili Yuechan who was surprised to see him here. Along the way, she had orchestrated so many assassination attempts against him, yet he remained alive and had arrived at the Netherworld Continent before her. Now, it wasn't him who feared Baili Yuechan, but rather Baili Yuechan who feared him.
"Your Highness." Hong Yiming looked at Baili Jun'ao with a puzzled expression. He felt that Baili Jun'ao had become a different person in the past few days and couldn't muster any enthusiasm for anything.
"Let her come! We're all family, there's nothing strange about us meeting!" Baili Jun'ao said nonchalantly, while occasionally keeping an eye on his surroundings.
Hong Yiming was speechless. They called themselves siblings...?
"Princess, that young master has been on the third floor the whole time and has never come down. No one else is allowed to go up to the third floor." Ximen Chunxue's maid, Nan Ying, said timidly, not daring to look up at Ximen Chunxue. She had been waiting here for several hours, but the young master still hadn't come down.
Ximen Chunxue glared fiercely at Tian Haoze's room on the third floor. Doesn't he get bored staying in his room all day?
"Has that little bitch Nangong Ziyan come out?" Ximen Ruiyun squinted at Nangong Ziyan's room. Wherever Nangong Ziyan was, she felt uneasy.
"No." Nan Ying shook her head.
"Let's go back! They'll definitely show up at tomorrow's auction." Ximen Chunxue refused to believe she wouldn't see him.
"Yes, Princess." Nan Ying carefully followed behind Ximen Chunxue.
"Tsk tsk...!" Tian Haoze walked out of the third-floor stairwell and clicked his tongue as he looked at Ximen Chunxue's back.
"There are all kinds of women out there! This woman is not only vicious, but also has a foul mouth."
Suddenly, a playful glint flashed in Tian Haoze's eyes. Since life was pretty boring anyway, he might as well find something to do tonight and vent his anger for Yan'er.
Just as Tian Haoze was about to turn and leave, he suddenly caught sight of Baili Yuechan, dressed in a bright red dress, walking up from the second floor. His eyes widened in undisguised amazement. "Wow! Baili Yuechan's beauty is no exaggeration. She truly lives up to the description in the Book of Songs: 'Her hands are like tender shoots, her skin like solidified cream, her neck like a cicada's, her teeth like melon seeds, her smile enchanting, her eyes sparkling.' It's just a pity, though, that pair of beautiful eyes is filled with too many things." Tian Haoze shook his head with regret and turned back to his room.
"Yan'er," Bei Ming Haotian called softly, looking down at Nangong Ziyan, whose eyes were closed.
"Mmm!" Nangong Ziyan responded groggily. With Haotian by her side, she felt really at ease and really wanted to get a good night's sleep.
"There will be many rare and precious treasures at tomorrow's auction. If Yan'er likes anything, please let me know."
Nangong Ziyan opened her eyes and smiled at Beiming Haotian, "Haotian, you actually like Yan'er, don't you?"
“Yan’er…” Bei Ming Haotian was somewhat helpless. Yan’er always liked to ask him this question, but she could sense his heart, which touched him deeply.
"Haotian, is it really that hard for you to admit that you have Yan'er in your heart? Or do you already have someone else in your heart?" Nangong Ziyan suddenly got up from Beiming Haotian and looked at him seriously. Everyone says that it's easy for a woman to pursue a man, but why is it so difficult for her?
"Yan'er, I am...."
"Knock knock...!" Just as Bei Ming Haotian was about to answer Nangong Ziyan's question, a sound suddenly came from the roof. Bei Ming Haotian's eyes narrowed. "Yan'er, stay here and don't go out. I'll be back in a bit."
