Chapter 287 Now the devils all have idol burdens
Jian Yue saw the blond butler's expression and said, "I know what you said, but as a servant of the prince, I think I also need to remind you that before everything is confirmed, you should do your duty as the butler of the prince's manor. Don't listen to rumors and spread them to the queen to cause unnecessary criticism and trouble for the prince. Based on this alone, I think you have failed in your duty as the butler."
The blond housekeeper was furious: "Are you teaching me a lesson?"
“Oh, if you want to think so, I can answer, yes.” Jian Yue said, “You can also refute it, can’t you?”
The blond butler was so angry that he couldn't speak. He blurted out, "You dirty bastard, don't you feel ashamed for doing such a thing? I am really ashamed of you."
Jian Yue raised his eyebrows: "Excuse me, what kind of thing is it? Can you explain it more clearly? If what I did is shameful, what position do you put your master in? Is he also ashamed? Can I think that you are disrespecting your master?"
These two short sentences made the blond butler's face turn red with anger.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Jian Yue turned around and walked outside. He went back to his lounge to change his clothes. When he came out, the sun was rarely seen in the sky. The sun set on the dim castle. Although there was sunshine, he could not feel any warmth.
When he returned to Ma Peng, he saw Chris.
Chris has bright red hair. He is wearing a handsome and slender riding suit and looks very high-spirited. When he looks at Jian Yue, Chris's eyes obviously light up.
The blonde housekeeper brought him a horse, but Chris waved to Jian Yue and said, "Come."
Jian Yue came over.
Chris said, "Why so slow?"
Jian Yue said: "I have never worn clothes like this before. It took me some research before I could put them on."
Chris didn't know what he was thinking about. His gaze towards Jian Yue became softer. Then he said, "Follow me. You can stay by my side no matter what I do in the future. You will have many opportunities like this."
This is very honorable for a servant.
Jian Yue said: "It's my honor."
His Royal Highness’s horse is the best. It is tall and majestic. It looks majestic when standing in front of the lawn, which makes people feel respect when looking at it.
Chris sat on the horse, followed by servants all around, and they entered the forest together. This was the first time that Jian Yue went far away from the castle and had the opportunity to see the big forest outside.
Originally, this forest was very safe, with only some small prey appearing occasionally. What no one expected was that this time a huge wolf suddenly appeared. It was unknown how long the wolf had been dormant, but it suddenly jumped out from behind the woods. It arched its back and made an aggressive gesture, and everyone became nervous.
Then there was a very sharp sound of gunfire.
Chris, sitting on his horse, had a calm expression on his face and pulled the trigger. The clear sound echoed throughout the forest and calmed the servants down.
The wolf yelled and fell down.
Chris got off his horse and said, "Send it back."
They checked the prey, and just as they were about to leave, the wolf that had been shot seemed to suddenly come to life. Although it was obviously seriously injured, it still pounced forward. You have to know that it was the closest to Jian Yue. Everything seemed to happen in an instant.
Jian Yue could only hear people screaming and the sound of the wind blowing past.
In the past, he would have been able to avoid it in time, but he didn't sleep well last night because he was worried about something, and he also had a lot of things to do during the day. He was distracted for a moment, and then he was a little late.
Someone pushed him away.
Then there were exclamations from all around:
"My Lord!"
“Your Highness!”
"Someone come, someone come quickly!"
There were constant screams all around, and Jian Yue fell heavily to the ground. He looked up and saw the person on his body. Chris's tall body held him tightly in his arms. His red hair was particularly dazzling and eye-catching in the dim forest. When Jian Yue looked up at him, he was met with a pair of dazzling red eyes, as red as bright rubies.
Then, Jian Yue smelled blood.
"Chris." Jian Yue's eyes widened and he called his name: "Are you hurt?"
Someone rushed over, they were the servants nearby. Chris slowly fell to the side. Jane Yue caught him in a panic. She saw the scratches and bite marks on his shoulders. This time the scratch was on Chris's back, near his heart. If it was on his chest, his life might even be in danger.
When Jian Yue saw the bright red blood seeping out, his hands couldn't help shaking. When someone came over, Chris's expression was still calm. He smiled gently at Jian Yue and said, "It's okay, don't worry."
The prince was sent back to the manor.
The doctors came quickly. Fortunately, although the wolf's attack looked dangerous, it avoided vital parts, so he was not seriously injured. The person on the bed was half asleep, and Jian Yue was guarding beside him. He was not very confident in the medicine here, so he exchanged medicine with the system and applied it to him.
Until Chris's breathing became more and more stable.
Jian Yue had fallen asleep on the bed next to him. He wasn't sleeping very deeply, so when the person on the bed moved, Jian Yue woke up almost immediately.
Chris opened his eyes and looked at him and said, "Why are you sleeping here?"
Jian Yue replied: "You haven't woken up yet, I'm worried."
Chris said, "I'll be fine."
"I know. The doctor said it all." Jian Yue was still in shock. He said, "Why did you suddenly rush over? This is very dangerous. The wolf is uncontrollable. What should I do if it really hurts you?"
In fact, as the prince's servant, he shouldn't ask this question. After all, they have no right to ask about what their master does.
Chris looked at Jian Yue and said, "Of course I didn't think that much."
Jian Yue choked.
He looked at Chris, and his eyes were full of Chris's image. He asked, "Are you taking such a risk just to save me?"
When Chris was looked at by those eyes, he just felt a little hot. The noble prince could not face up to and frankly admit that he had such deep feelings for the little boy servant. After all, a nobleman would even risk his own life for his servant. If this were to be spread, it would be very bizarre and unacceptable.
Chris coughed and said, "It was my prey after all. It hurt people, so I had to take action."
Jian Yue said, "You know, the doctor said that the wolf was just a young one. If it was bigger or more ferocious, or even involved your old injury, your life might be in danger."
Chris said, "I did that because I knew what was going on. Besides, have you ever thought about yourself? If that wolf pounced on you, your body wouldn't be able to withstand it."
Jian Yue understood that this was indeed done for himself.
For him, Chris would not care even if there was danger. He was a prince and should have the best. He should have lived under the protection of others, but he took the risk for himself.
"I know." Jian Yue said softly, "I am very grateful for your help, but if the same thing happens again in the future, you must put your own safety first."
Chris looked at Jian Yue in a daze. He didn't expect Jian Yue's reaction to be so big.
Since childhood, Chris has been very sensitive to the emotions of those around him. The prince's face darkened, and his originally sharp eyebrows became gloomy. He said, "You don't want me to save you, right?"
Jian Yue said: "I don't want you to risk your life for me, because I'm not worth it."
Chris said: "Whether it is worth it or not is not up to you to decide. It is my own wish."
When people are young and frivolous, they always say lofty words and do impulsive things for the sake of love.
Jian Yue looked into his eyes and felt some bitterness spreading quietly in his heart. He sighed softly and said, "But your safety is also very important to me. If anything happens to you, I don't know how to live. I am your manservant. If you are injured, I will be the first to blame. This will make me feel very sad."
Chris was a little angry. He just didn't want him to get hurt, but he couldn't say it. The proud Lord Duke snorted and said, "I just did it casually. Any responsible knight would not leave the weak alone. You don't have to feel guilty. I didn't do it just for you."
When saying these words, Chris thought he would feel relieved, after all, he did not lose face.
But he saw relief on Jian Yue's face, and then his little servant smiled at him gently and said, "Of course I know."
Chris: “…”
What do you know, you know nothing!
Lord Prince was very angry. He glared at Jian Yue with some frustration, but Jian Yue did not understand why he was frustrated at all.
Until the effect of the medicine started again, Chris felt a little sleepy, and he could not resist the effect and slowly fell asleep. He lay on the bed, his face was a little pale because of the injury. Jian Yue, who was sitting next to him, kept watching him. Chris had a fever again because of the wound at night, and he sat by the bed and wiped him with cold water from time to time to cool him down.
When the collar slowly slid down, he saw a conspicuous small red mole on the muscular chest. The color there was a little lighter, much lighter than what he had seen before.
Jian Yue was already certain.
The color of the mark is Xiaoyu's life and strength. In fact, in many worlds, if it weren't for himself, Xiaoyu could have stayed out of it, or could have been more selfish, but he would always do something more dangerous for himself.
Jian Yue stayed by Chris' side almost the entire night.
It was not until the next morning, when the sky was completely bright, that Jian Yue went out to the kitchen. Martha was surprised that he came so early. Jian Yue said, "His Royal Highness the Prince was injured, so the food for this morning should be lighter."
Martha nodded.
When Jian Yue returned, Chris had already woken up.
Now his daily diet is basically taken care of by Jian Yue, who bent down and said, "Do you want to eat now?"
Chris said, "Okay."
Jian Yue took care of him and helped him get up. The wounds on Chris' body were not serious, so he could get up normally. He walked to the dining table and saw the breakfast, and naturally saw the lean meat porridge and steamed buns that reappeared on the table.
Chris knew that Jian Yue would always take better care of his diet when he was injured. The feeling of being cared for made Lord Wang Jue feel very good. He hummed lightly and felt happy, then said to Jian Yue: "Sit down, let's eat together."
If it were in the past, Jian Yue would definitely sit down immediately. Even a long time ago, when he and Chris were having a meal together, Jian Yue would take the initiative to eat the steamed buns that Chris couldn't finish without complaining.
But now.
Jian Yue said: "Your Highness, our status is different. I have already had breakfast in the kitchen. These are your breakfast."
The smile on Chris's face suddenly faded a little. He raised his eyes and looked at Jian Yue. This was certainly not a question of whether or not to have breakfast. He knew that Jian Yue could have breakfast anywhere. He just wanted Jian Yue to accompany him for breakfast, but his little butler refused him for the first time.
"Why?" Chris asked.
Jian Yue said: "I am your servant, and this is what I should do."
Chris was displeased by his sudden aloofness. The noble Lord frowned and asked, "Why didn't you have breakfast in the kitchen before?"
Jian Yue replied: "I didn't learn the rules well before, and I will abide by my duties as your servant from now on."
Chris's face turned cold and he said, "You don't have to be like this. Just do whatever I tell you to do."
Jian Yue said: "Your Highness, I appreciate your kindness. Just like your Highness is willing to uphold your chivalry and save me, I don't want to cause you unnecessary trouble."
Chris said, "Did anyone tell me you were in trouble?"
Jian Yue was impressed by his sensitivity, but still answered seriously, "No, Your Highness."
No one really said he was trouble, they just thought I had an affair with you, Your Highness.
Chris certainly didn't understand this. He was just angry at being rejected by his own manservant. His noble status made it impossible for him to go to this extent and beg again and again, so the prince said, "Whatever you want."
Jian Yue said: "Thank you for your understanding."
After leaving the study, the entire manor fell into silence. Or rather, the manor had always been so quiet, but Jian Yue only discovered it now.
These two days were very peaceful.
Since that breakfast, the prince no longer let him eat with him, and at the same time, he no longer spoke to him frequently.
Ji Xingle said, "I bet you and Wang Jue had a fight."
Jian Yue was sitting next to him in the kitchen eating, and asked, "Why?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Ji Xingle said, "In the past, you and the prince were always together, you were almost inseparable, but now sometimes when you are in the manor, you are not together. Is this not a quarrel, or does the prince hate you?"
As soon as the word "disgust" came out, the food in Jian Yue's mouth was about to spit out.
Ji Xingle wiped the bread crumbs from his arm and said, "What's wrong?"
Jian Yue looked at him and said, "Where did you invent this word?"
Ji Xingle smiled and said, "Qiyaya told me that she has been obsessed with novels recently and said that this is how the old Mary Sue novels played out."
Jian Yue: “…”
Let her watch less.
Ji Xingle: "Okay."
Martha said, "The prince has been in a bad mood these past two days. I heard that the Duke who came to visit him was kicked out. The Duke has never been so angry before, and he is in a mess this time."
Jane Yue was biting the bread in her mouth in a daze. Chris was angry, and quite angry.
Ji Xingle said with emotion: "Being with the emperor is like being with a tiger. It is indeed quite stressful."
Jian Yue collected his thoughts and said, "If you have the time, why not think about what to do tonight."
Today is a dangerous moon night.
They are going to church today. Margaret said two days ago that the reason why she could see demons later was because she saw something in the backyard of the church. The clue she left behind was a statue. Jian Yue suspected that it was the one she saw in the mirror. It seemed that there must be something strange about the statue, otherwise it would not change a person's physique.
Ji Xingle's face turned pale. He took a bite of bread and said, "I'd better eat more and prepare more medicine."
Not far away, Qiyaya and Martha were watering the flowers in the garden. The gardening job was originally supposed to be Ji Xingle's job, but he had poor health and underlying diseases, and would get a fever if he was exposed to the wind. So Qiyaya took on this job and told others that she was Ji Xingle's sister.
Jian Yue didn't have much of an appetite. He hadn't been having a good time these past two days, so he simply handed the other piece of bread in his hand to Ji Xingle and said, "Eat more."
Ji Xingle took it: "Thank you."
Jian Yue sat at the doorstep, looking at the thick fog outside the castle thoughtfully.
Ji Xingle's voice suddenly came from the side. He asked, "Can I ask you a favor?"
Jian Yue glanced at him: "What."
"If we encounter any particularly dangerous moment tonight, and if Qiyaya wants to risk her life to save me, you have to hold her back for me," said Ji Xingle.
Jian Yue said: "Don't you want her to save you?"
Ji Xingle said: "I don't want her to die for me in vain. She has been injured during this period. If her energy is too low, her life may be in danger. I still have some props that can save her life."
Jian Yue said: "If it wasn't extremely dangerous, I don't think she would risk her life."
Ji Xingle smiled and said, "You don't know, caring too much, loving someone too much, can kill each other."
Jian Yue was silent.
The morning mist slowly dissipated, and after a moment of silence, the man finally spoke: "I know."
The Duke's estate returned to prosperity after the sun came.
Sari from the stable took a leave to go home, and Jian Yue seized the opportunity to take over the stable. He prepared the carriage so that it would be more convenient for them to move at night.
When night is about to fall.
After the maid called everyone together, she began to distribute the booklet again. She said, "Before going to bed, you must pray to the Lord God sincerely, so that you can receive the Lord God's blessing. You are not allowed to leave the room at night. Do not go out casually, otherwise you will bear the consequences yourself."
A familiar threat.
The maid glanced at everyone and asked sharply, "Did you hear that?"
He looked at Jian Yue twice with particular attention.
Jian Yue: “…I heard it.”
Anyway, even if I hear it, I won’t do it.
When night really fell and the outer door was closed, Jian Yue and Ji Xingle, who were lying on the bed, opened their eyes at the same time, and both stood up and walked outside.
On a moonlit night, a huge moon appeared in the sky. A crow flew by, making some shrill cries. The whole world was shrouded in fog, and it was impossible to see the surroundings clearly. It was like the first day everyone arrived in this castle, and they couldn't see what was in the fog.
Jian Yue hurried to the stable and got on the carriage immediately. Ji Xingle got on the back. He said, "The fog is too thick and we can't see the road clearly. Let Qiyaya drive. She is not a living being and can drive by perception."
This is the safest method.
Jian Yue sat directly in the back of the carriage. They had already figured out the road, and the carriage drove out of the manor smoothly.
As they entered the fog, Jian Yue was flipping through the manual given by the maid in the carriage. Suddenly, he stopped moving, and Ji Xingle beside him asked, "What's wrong?"
Jian Yue said: "Someone is coming."
The carriage on its way to church must pass through the woods, and there was a rustling sound coming from the woods. It was the sound of something crawling on the ground with hands and feet. The thing was following behind the carriage, getting closer and closer.
Jian Yue said to Ji Xingle, "Bow your head!"
Just as Ji Xingle lowered his head, the whole carriage shook, and a bloody mouth appeared on the broken glass carriage door. It was a demon covered with stones and with different hands and feet, pulling at the door with a loud noise, and the low roar almost shattered the entire door frame.
The carriage was smashed into pieces by the heavy blow, and the horse in front was frightened and screamed.
demon.
Jian Yue looked up and saw the monster rushing out of the fog. This was the first time he saw this kind of creature up close, and there was more than one of them running out of the fog.
Dense swarms of demons surrounded them in an almost endless stream.
Ji Xingle was so scared that he almost went crazy. He shouted, "How come there are so many of them before we even get to the church? Where did these demons come from? Are they from hell? What should we do?"
Just as Chiaya was trying to control the horse, a demon jumped down from the tree and stretched out its sharp hands to pierce the entire horse, spilling blood all over the ground.
Jian Yue looked at the body of the demon and said, "They didn't emerge from the ground, they appeared from the town. I recognize the necklace this demon is wearing. He is a fishmonger in the east of the town. I saw him when I was shopping a few days ago."
Ji Xingle was shocked and said, "What? It's the people in the town. Are there more demons than just people from the church?!"
This matter is very serious.
"Then why do they hate demons so much during the day and even want to exorcise them?" Ji Xingle said quickly: "Aren't they demons themselves? What should we do now? They want to kill us!!"
Demons kept crawling over, and the audience in the live broadcast room also said excitedly:
"Oh shit! That's a lot!"
“The anchor list is too big!”
"This is miserable for him!"
"With so many demons, no matter how many weapons and props they have, they will have to use them all up!"
As everyone was discussing, Jian Yue and Ji Xingle narrowly avoided a round of attacks. Ji Xingle was lucky to have Qiyaya protecting him. He said, "What should we do?"
Jian Yue was in an even more miserable state. Just as he was about to be pinned to the ground and slaughtered by a demon, everyone saw that Jian Yue not only did not hide, but smiled at the demon and said, "Brother, are you really going to kill me?"
The demon bared its sharp teeth at him, with a ferocious look in its eyes, as if it would not stop until he was dead.
Ji Xingle, who was not far away, shouted, "What are you doing? Run! If you don't run, it will kill you! Why don't you run? Are you crazy? Why are you posing at this time? Are you so concerned about your reputation..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Jian Yue, who was pressed to the ground, suddenly take out a mirror from his pocket. The mirror clearly reflected the devil's face in the mist. The devil was caught off guard and looked at himself in the mirror, then let out a sharp and painful cry, suddenly let go of Jian Yue and ran away!
Then Jian Yue slowly sat up from the ground, smiled at Ji Xingle and said, "See, I'm not the one who needs to save face. Now even the devils have idol baggage, there's really nothing we can do."
Ji Xingle: “…”
Isn't this right? ! !
