On the way back to the Prince's Mansion, the falcon didn't run very fast, and Mo Yunhan carefully held Jiang Qingwan's arm.
The stone in his arms had been adorned with a talisman and was no longer so cold.
"What exactly is this thing?"
Jiang Qingwan was in a good mood and lazily explained while nestled in his arms.
"A meteorite! The fortunes of the Great Zhou Dynasty are truly fascinating."
It was clearly showing signs of decline, yet a glimmer of new life was faintly emerging from within that decline.
Even if her master came, the Nine Dragons Formation would be difficult to repair.
But then, the Grand Duke Jupiter appeared.
The meteorite has also appeared.
Mo Yunhan waited a while, but when she didn't continue, he looked down and asked, "What's so interesting about the Great Zhou's fortune?"
Jiang Qingwan tilted her head up and glanced at him.
"Don't ask too many questions; heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."
Under the moonlight, that exquisitely beautiful face was fair and charming.
His eyes held a hint of cunning and a touch of liveliness.
It's incredibly alluring.
Mo Yunhan couldn't help but raise his hand and gently pinch it, but he wasn't annoyed when the hand was slapped away fiercely.
After a few moments of silence, he asked again.
"Is my father... really dying?"
Jiang Qingwan remained silent.
She has no parents or siblings.
But if her master were to pass away, she would be heartbroken.
But some things cannot be changed by defying fate.
Otherwise, no one can bear the consequences.
She said, as if making a promise, "Trust me, you'll be fine."
Mo Yunhan smiled.
He had no doubt about this.
"Before I met you, I already knew that I probably wouldn't live much longer. At that time, my only obsession was to find out who I was?"
Jiang Qingwan's heart trembled involuntarily.
Her brows furrowed slightly, and her tone carried a hint of displeasure as she reprimanded him.
"Of course it's you, who else could it be?"
Mo Yunhan's heart was calmer than ever before.
Embracing the woman I love, riding a bicycle under the moonlight, with the wind in my ears and the chirping of insects.
When he returned to the Prince's mansion, Jiang Qingwan was already asleep in his arms.
He carefully picked the person up and carried them into the mansion.
Lian'er quickly fetched a basin of warm water and followed her into the bedroom.
Seeing Mo Yunhan, such a noble man, taking off Jiang Qingwan's shoes and socks, she was immediately filled with relief and emotion.
Her daughter has finally found someone who truly cares for her.
She curtsied.
"Your Highness, let me wipe it for Miss."
Mo Yunhan hummed in agreement and stepped aside.
"Be careful not to wake her."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"Night Seven, summon a few men to come with me on this trip."
"yes!"
Ye Qi didn't ask anything, but called out a few names into the shadows.
Several dark figures landed and followed Mo Yunhan out the door.
Soon, the group followed Mo Yunhan back to the Ghost Market, appearing like ghosts at the Ghost King's residence.
The Ghost King dismissed all his guards, and the residence was completely silent.
Ye Qi drew his longsword.
"Your Highness, I will lead the vanguard."
Mo Yunhan raised his hand.
"No need, I will come myself. You few, stay outside."
He can't let that knife wound to his abdomen go unpunished.
The room door was cleaved open by a palm strike.
A strange smell wafted over.
Mo Yunhan instinctively held his breath.
Ye Qi also smelled it, covered her mouth and nose, and rushed to Mo Yunhan's side, looking inside warily.
"How could it be an aphrodisiac? Could it be that the Ghost King is a woman in disguise, trying to frame the Prince with such a despicable means?"
Mo Yunhan gave him a disdainful look all day.
"Can't you tell if it's a man or a woman?"
That ghost king was big and burly, with a voice, Adam's apple, and stubble—everything about him was that of a man. No matter how a woman dressed as a man, she could never look like that.
The door was opened for a long time, but there was no movement inside.
Ye Qi suddenly pointed to a corner.
"There."
The two hurried inside and saw the Ghost King with his upper body naked, his skin as red as if it had been branded with a hot iron. A gash had been torn open in his abdomen, and his intestines were spilling out onto the ground. He was on the verge of death.
Ye Qi frowned as he looked at the bloodstains on his hands. "Your Highness, has this man gone mad? He actually tore open his own stomach."
As they approached, Mo Yunhan said, "Take a closer look at his wounds."
Ye Qi, suppressing her nausea, moved forward slightly.
Only then did they discover that, besides the pile of intestines, there were several large, fat worms slowly wriggling.
Because it was stained red with blood, he thought it was a piece of intestine and didn't pay attention.
At this moment, Mo Yunhan saw the martial arts manual that had been left aside.
"Blood Moon Divine Art?"
Ye Qi let out a soft "Eh".
"Is this really the Blood Moon Divine Skill?"
Mo Yunhan recalled the Ghost King's strange martial arts moves and asked, "Have you heard of him?"
Ye Qi nodded.
"The old guards in the Dark Guard Camp were chatting and mentioned this technique. It's incredibly evil, but once mastered, one becomes invincible. It seems this technique originated from the mysterious Zhuge Sect."
"Zhuge School?"
Mo Yunhan frowned.
She pulled out a handkerchief and picked up the secret manual.
"Give it back to me!"
The Ghost King suddenly struggled to grab it, but he could no longer move his body.
He glared fiercely at Mo Yunhan, panting.
"You...you are untrustworthy."
Mo Yunhan gracefully wrapped up the secret manual and tucked it into his bosom.
His tone was indifferent.
"I never said I would spare your life. I returned to take your life, but it seems you killed yourself. Why do you say we broke our promise?"
The Ghost King trembled with rage.
"I'm talking about that woman. She didn't lift the curse on me at all. She caused me to go mad with evil spirits, and she's made me end up in this miserable state. I'll never forgive her, even as a ghost..."
