Baili Jun'ao met Bei Minghaotian's wicked yet warning eyes. His powerful aura failed to intimidate him. What he lost was not his aura, but Nangong Ziyan's feelings for him.
"What a shameless woman, she's always seducing men wherever she goes." In the second-floor hall, Ximen Chunxue glared at Nangong Ziyan and kept nagging.
"Who are you calling a scoundrel?" A pleasant and familiar voice rang out. Ximen Chunxue looked up sharply and saw Shangtian Haoze. Instantly, her face broke into a smile.
“What’s next…” Ximen Chunxue reacted relatively quickly, a smile freezing on her lips. “Young Master, you…” He had actually set a trap for her, and she had actually taken it.
"Oh! Princess, I'm so sorry. I didn't think before asking after hearing your words, and you admitted that you are a lowly person. I'm so sorry, my apologies." Tian Haoze looked innocent, and although he apologized, there was no sincerity on his handsome face.
"Young master, you were just being impulsive. It's nothing serious." Ximen Chunxue only heard Tian Haoze apologize to her; she couldn't see anything else.
Not far from her, Ximen Ruiyun understood the meaning behind Tian Haoze's words. He looked at his extremely stupid sister and shook his head helplessly. His sister was in the wrong first, so he had no reason to question Tian Haoze.
Baili Yuechan stood by the window, looking at the scene below, a charming smile on her face. She said leisurely, "Although Nangong Ziyan is not outstanding, she has a pair of beautiful eyes, full of affection, which easily arouses a man's pity. Xiao Nian, look, even His Highness the Crown Prince has gone against the Demon Lord for her sake." Her leisurely tone was tinged with sarcasm, making people feel uncomfortable.
Xiao Nian is Baili Yuechan's capable assistant and personal maid, whose cultivation level is second only to Baili Yuechan.
Xiao Nian glanced at Nangong Ziyan and said, "Princess, she is not even one ten-thousandth as good as you. You don't need to worry about her. By the way, Princess, this is a letter from the State Preceptor Wu. I just received it."
"Oh!" Baili Yuechan took the letter, walked to the soft chair, sat down, and slowly read it in her mind: "Chan'er, I have found out that the Shennong Scripture is hidden in the South Sea Glazed Palace. You must find a way to bring the Shennong Scripture and Nangong Ziyan back. I have my own arrangements." Baili Yuechan gently squeezed the letter, and it instantly vanished. She frowned, squinted her eyes, and pondered. How come everything is related to Nangong Ziyan? Is her existence really that important?
"Xiao Nian, send your shadow guards to the South China Sea Glazed Palace and have them secretly search for the Shennong Scripture. After the Wind and Cloud Competition, I will personally go to the South China Sea Glazed Palace."
"Yes, Princess, Xiao Nian will give the order shortly." Xiao Nian turned and walked outside.
That night, Tian Haoze prepared everything and checked the situation outside.
"Haha! It's a dark and windy night, the perfect time to play a prank." Looking at his black and white impermanence outfit, Tian Haoze couldn't help but admire his own cleverness. "Ximen Chunxue, you'd better wait and see tonight as you wail like a ghost!" Coincidentally, Ximen Chunxue lived right below his room, making it incredibly convenient to scare her.
"How could I forget Yan'er when there's something so fun to do, brother..." Nangong Ziyan dragged out the last syllable of her sentence as she suddenly appeared in Tian Haoze's room, looking at him with a sly grin.
"Yan'er, how did you know?" Tian Haoze looked at Tian Haoze in surprise. He had done it very discreetly. How did Yan'er find out?
“Brother, the person who always pesters me and Haotian to chat after dinner has suddenly disappeared. When he came back, he was looking around suspiciously, like he had ill intentions. Plus, you kept complaining about Ximen Chunxue while you were eating dinner, so Yan’er naturally knows what you’re up to.” Nangong Ziyan said her guess, looking at Tian Haoze’s attire with great interest.
"You noticed that too?" Tian Haoze scratched his head in disbelief, then stared at Nangong Ziyan with a leisurely air. He crossed his arms and strolled over to Nangong Ziyan's side. "Little sister Yan'er, I've noticed that sometimes I can't see through you, but other times I think you're very innocent."
"Brother, I am who I am. What is there to see through? By the way, you play the Black Impermanence and Yan'er plays the White Impermanence. That will surely scare Ximen Chunxue so badly that he'll wet himself." Nangong Ziyan hurriedly snatched the things from Tian Haoze's hands. She had lived two lives. It would be strange if he could see through her.
"Okay! Okay!" Tian Haoze didn't mind, since he had plenty of time to get to know her.
"Wait, Yan'er, you're afraid of heights. Are you sure you can handle being suspended between the two floors?"
"Brother, why are you suddenly so dense? If we're going to scare them, we need to make it a mix of reality and illusion. We'll use the spatial ring so they can find us but not find us. That'll be the only way to achieve the desired effect! Come on, come on, let me show you what real scare is, and let you see what it means to be both a domestic goddess and a socialite." Nangong Ziyan boasted to herself, her hands moving faster, and she quickly finished tidying up.
Tian Haoze was dressed in all black, with a tall, pointed hat and a long tongue sticking out. Nangong Ziyan was dressed in all white, with the same outfit. In the pitch-black night, they were truly eerie.
"Come on, let's jump in through the second-floor window." Nangong Ziyan pointed to the window.
"Okay!" Tian Haoze was about to jump when Nangong Ziyan stopped him.
"What is it now, Yan'er?"
"You have to take Yan'er with you! With Yan'er's cultivation level, a fluctuation in her spiritual energy will definitely wake up Ximen Ruiyun next door." Nangong Ziyan thought, being discovered is a minor matter, but being hung upside down on the window would be a huge embarrassment.
