The man hurriedly put on a mask to cover the ugly runes.
The low, hoarse voice betrayed avoidance and resistance.
"I'm fine."
The Empress Dowager looked down at him, and after a moment asked, "Who hurt you?"
The man lowered his head, his eyes beneath the mask revealing a bloodthirsty madness.
"I will find him and tear him to pieces."
The Empress Dowager hummed in agreement.
"The imperial mausoleum's protective array has malfunctioned, and the Nine Dragons Array within it has also been broken. The Emperor Emeritus will surely come to me for help, and you must repair it properly for me then."
The masked man slowly clenched his hands without saying a word.
The Empress Dowager was furious.
"You can't do it?"
The masked man suddenly raised his head.
His bloodshot eyes stared at the Empress Dowager's face, which was almost wrinkle-free.
"I need to quickly restore my strength, which requires consuming the lives of one hundred living people."
The displeasure in the Empress Dowager's eyes dissipated.
"It's just a hundred people, as long as we don't make too much of a fuss."
After saying that, he took the lamp and prepared to leave.
The masked man suddenly asked, "Who lives in the Cloud and Water Palace?"
The Empress Dowager stopped and turned her head to look at him in confusion.
"Yunshui Palace? Oh, the emperor's fourth son, Mo Shaoze, is staying there tonight."
Her eyes narrowed slightly.
Thinking the masked man was about to devour Mo Shaoze's life, he paused for a moment but did not stop him.
"A child born from a lowly palace maid and the emperor's drunkenness. If you like it, then so be it."
Unbridled indulgence stirred up a dark and restrained storm in the masked man's bloodshot eyes.
The door to the darkroom was closed again.
The masked man let out a low, hoarse cry, like a crow.
A red light flickered on his chest, and the black aura around him gradually deepened.
He grinned and laughed silently.
The only possible person to have injured him so badly is a member of the Zhuge School.
Murong Yanyan is dead.
Zhuge Men had long since disappeared from the world, and his whereabouts were difficult to find.
He had thought revenge was hopeless.
Unexpectedly, people from the Zhuge Clan came to the capital, disrupting his plans once again.
What a deeply entangled and ill-fated relationship.
But that's fine, the treasure has already been sent to the palace, and he has plenty of ways to get it.
Once a hundred people are absorbed, the dragon energy from the imperial tomb can be used to stimulate their rebirth.
His demonic powers will surely reach their peak.
At that time, no one in the world will be able to stop him.
As for the disciples of Zhuge Liang who were hiding in the capital...
He wanted these self-proclaimed benevolent people to be forever plunged into darkness.
...
When Jiang Qingwan woke up, it was almost noon the next day.
She opened her eyes, looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, and frowned.
The physical fatigue has subsided, but the depletion of cultivation is immense, causing waves of soreness and stinging pain in the dantian, which is extremely uncomfortable.
The tightly closed door was scratched open by claws.
The red fox darted in joyfully.
The injured leg had mostly healed, and it wagged its big tail and rushed to the bedside. It used all four limbs to climb onto the bed, but halfway up, it was picked up again and unceremoniously thrown out.
"If this happens again, I'll skin you alive and make a cloak out of your skin!"
He had barely finished speaking when he was kicked in the waist.
"Who gave you permission to bully Xiao Hong!"
Mo Yunhan felt extremely wronged after being kicked.
Turning to look at the woman who was half-lying on the bed, beckoning the red fox over to rub it for a while, he felt a pang of anger in his chest.
"Am I not even as good as a fox?"
Jiang Qingwan glanced at him sideways.
"You are a mortal, what makes you think you can compare to a bewitching male demon?"
Mo Yunhan's handsome face flushed red from the teasing.
After a night of rest, his mind had fully recovered.
I had so many questions to ask, and I shifted my position, wanting to sit on the edge of the bed.
The red fox clearly saw his intention, and with a twist of its rear end, it filled the entire edge of the bed.
He then proudly raised his head and shook it at him, exuding an arrogant "what can you do to me?" attitude.
Mo Yunhan narrowed his dark eyes.
After spending half a day with it, he was certain that this fox could not transform into human form, but this fox was definitely not an ordinary bird.
He will surely be able to understand human speech.
He simply stepped back half a step, crossed his arms, and spoke coolly.
"No matter how much you try to win my favor, it's useless. She is my queen, and day and night, she can only sleep on my bed."
"cough!"
Jiang Qingwan almost choked on her own words.
"Mo Yunhan, don't talk nonsense."
The man simply shrugged.
"You said that if I were to seduce you, you might not be able to resist. However, since you saved my life last night, I hereby grant you permission to do as you please without having to resist against your will."
Jiang Qingwan's mouth was slightly open, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
I had a feeling that the man had gone mad after coming out of the cave.
She took several deep breaths before asking, "Mo Yunhan, what exactly did you see on Xuanling Mountain?"
Mo Yunhan raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Hong.
"I saw it transform into a graceful woman."
Jiang Qingwan...
"So, you just lunged at it and fell off the cliff?"
She suddenly felt that it was a waste of all her cultivation to save him.
This lecherous bastard should be left to rot in the cave.
Mo Yunhan's eyes fell on her fair neck, where the pinch marks were still obvious even after applying ointment.
He suddenly became serious and said, "Jiang Qingwan, there are no demons in this world, right?"
Jiang Qingwan was stunned.
She suddenly seemed to understand why Mo Yunhan was so obsessed with the matter of demons.
Does he already know the true purpose of suppressing demons?
At this moment, a guard outside the door bowed and saluted.
"Your Highness, the meal is ready. Would you like to move outside to the hall or dine in your room?"
