Dark Moon Fairy crouched lightly on a thick branch, her beautiful eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly. She saw a dense swarm of guards surrounding her like an iron wall. Sneaking through them silently was practically impossible.
She gently raised her delicate hand and fished out a delicate porcelain vase from her sleeve, thinking to herself, "Looks like I'll just have to let these guys sleep for a while." Just as she was about to act, she suddenly felt the tree suddenly sink, and then two figures leaped onto the branches like birds.
Dark Moon Fairy frowned slightly and scolded in a low voice, "What are you two doing up here?"
Nanzhi blinked her bright eyes and answered curiously, "We saw that you hadn't returned for a long time and were worried that you might be in danger, so we came here to help! Wow, there are so many guards here, look how powerful I am!" As she spoke, she quickly took out a bag of poison powder and sprinkled it down without hesitation.
However, things in the world are often unpredictable. At this moment, a sudden strong wind swept past, and the bag of poison powder seemed to have eyes and rushed straight towards Shang Zhi!
Poor Shang Zhi was caught off guard and his face was covered with the oncoming poisonous powder.
Shang Zhi felt dizzy and her vision blurred, as if the whole world was shaking. She shook her head vigorously, trying to wake herself up, but the dizziness became more and more intense.
Seeing this, Dark Moon Fairy beside her quickly reached out to support her and asked with concern: "Shang Zhi, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Shang Zhi frowned and said with difficulty: "I... feel so uncomfortable!" His voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible.
Nanzhi was frightened by this sudden situation. She looked at Shangzhi in panic, frantically took out the antidote from her bosom, quickly put it to Shangzhi's mouth, and said in a tearful voice: "Dazhi, I'm sorry! I really didn't mean to do that. It was that damn wind that blew the poison here! Take the antidote quickly, you will feel better!"
After saying this, Nanzhi held Shangzhi's hand tightly, her eyes filled with guilt and self-blame. She secretly prayed that the antidote would work quickly and restore Shangzhi to health.
Time passed, and Shang Zhi gradually regained consciousness. After calming down, she looked at Nan Zhi beside her and said sternly, "You can't just use the poison powder so carelessly. It's too dangerous! What if you hurt innocent people?"
At this moment, Dark Moon Fairy was about to open the porcelain bottle she was clutching. Nanzhi approached with curiosity, blinking her eyes and asking, "Sister Dark Moon, what's in your bottle? Is it really Da Zhao's poison powder?"
Dark Moon Fairy was silent for a moment before answering, "No!"
At that moment, Nanzhi's footing suddenly slipped, and she lost her balance. Her hands frantically clawed at Dark Moon Fairy's shoulders, trying to steady herself. However, it was all to no avail. Ultimately, the porcelain vase in Dark Moon Fairy's hand flew far away, crashing to the ground with a resounding crack...
Hearing this sudden noise, the guards on patrol nearby immediately became alert and hurried towards the tree. Nanzhi saw this and his face turned pale as paper, and he was so nervous that he didn't know what to do.
At this moment, a group of fully armed, solemn-looking guards marched in this direction in an orderly manner. However, just as they were about to approach, something unexpected happened—a small but agile cat suddenly jumped out of the bushes!
The kitten seemed curious about its surroundings. It used its tender little paws to gently scratch at the broken porcelain vase on the ground, making a crisp sound. The guards, who had been on edge, breathed a sigh of relief, recognizing the cat as the Marshal's wife's beloved pet.
The guards then retreated, relieved. At the same time, the tightly closed door slowly opened, and a tall, imposing man stepped out. His gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, and his voice was deep and magnetic: "What happened?"
A guard quickly stepped forward and replied respectfully, "Your Excellency, it was your Madam's cat who was being naughty and making the noise just now. It's nothing serious."
Nanzhi, who was hiding in the tree, was so angry that her face turned red. She gritted her teeth and cursed: "That evil villain Xiao Jingyi! If it weren't for him..." Before she could finish her words, Shang Zhi beside her grabbed her arm tightly.
"Nanzhi, don't be impulsive! With our current strength, we are definitely no match for him!" Shang Zhi urged anxiously, her eyes filled with worry. She knew that Xiao Jingyi was a skilled martial artist, a treacherous and ruthless person, and that if she acted rashly, she would only end up in a desperate situation.
After Xiao Jingyi left, Dark Moon Fairy's fury grew stronger. She cursed inwardly, "Damn Nanzhi, for throwing away your precious medicine bottle!" Now that things had come to this, she could only try to lure those dream butterflies.
Time passed by, and unexpectedly, it wasn't long before Dark Moon Fairy successfully attracted dozens of Dream Butterflies. Looking at the beautiful butterflies dancing before her, Dark Moon Fairy was surprised to find that the number of Dream Butterflies here seemed to be much greater than in Shangjing.
Nanzhi stared at Dark Moon Fairy, a strange look in his eyes, and slowly asked, "Could it be that you are from our Youli Kingdom?"
Darkmoon Enchantress shook her head decisively and replied, "No, I'm not."
However, Nanzhi did not give up easily and continued to ask: "Could it be that you were abducted and sold to Dazhao by a matchmaker when you were a child?" Her eyes were full of expectation and confusion, as if she hoped to get a satisfactory answer from Dark Moon Fairy.
Dark Moon Enchantress raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at the other person with her beautiful eyes, and asked impatiently, "What exactly do you want to say?" There was a hint of displeasure and confusion in her voice.
Nanzhi stared silently ahead, and after a moment, he slowly spoke, "According to rumors, the mysterious and beautiful Dream Butterfly can only be controlled by the Saint from Youli Country."
Hearing this, a scornful expression crossed Dark Moon Fairy's stunningly beautiful face. She parted her rosy lips and uttered a crisp, dismissive sneer, "Hmph! Just stay here and act as a lookout for this Pavilion Master. If anyone comes near, you'll immediately meow like a cat."
At the same time, a dreamy butterfly flitted gracefully around the guards like a dancing elf, leaving a trail of dreamlike phantoms wherever it passed.
An amazing thing happened. After just a moment, those guards on duty who were originally energetic and focused suddenly became unsteady one after another as if they were under a spell, and then closed their eyes and fell into a deep dream.
Dark Moon Enchantress flew down from the tree, passed the guards, and entered the room...
