Xiao Jinghan stepped into the inner room and gently closed the door. Dark Moon Fairy quietly exited the room and walked towards another room to change clothes.
The night was as dark as ink, and everything was silent. Xiao Jinghan stood quietly by the wall in the room, but his thoughts involuntarily drifted to the next room.
At this moment, a subtle yet clear sound was coming from the room. Dark Moon Fairy was changing clothes. This slight sound was particularly eye-catching in the quiet night, as if every movement carried some inexplicable attraction.
Recalling their first encounter in the bamboo forest, Dark Moon Fairy had been so unbridled and uninhibited. She hadn't concealed her teasing, revealing her bold and unbridled personality. Yet, at this moment, hearing the sound of her changing clothes, Xiao Jinghan couldn't help but feel a strange sensation: this seemingly unrestrained woman actually had a shy side.
Perhaps it was precisely this contradiction and contrast that made Dark Moon Fairy even more mysterious, making one want to explore her innermost thoughts. Xiao Jinghan gazed at the wall illuminated by the warm yellow oil lamp, pondering this thought. He began to re-examine this woman with a unique personality, trying to uncover her true face hidden beneath the veil...
But when he thought of his current situation, Xiao Jinghan couldn't help but sigh deeply, then slowly stood up and walked towards the closet. He opened the door and carefully selected among the numerous clothes, finally pulling out a snow-white brocade robe embroidered with elegant white plum blossom patterns. The brocade robe was soft and smooth, exuding a faint fragrance.
After getting dressed, Xiao Jinghan walked out of the inner room. As soon as he stepped out, he saw that Dark Moon Fairy had already changed her clothes. She was wearing a bright red plum blossom brocade dress that perfectly outlined her graceful figure.
At that moment, she was standing quietly by the door, her long, shiny black hair casually tied up, yet she exuded a unique charm. Her enchanting face revealed an otherworldly and calm temperament.
Dark Moon Fairy raised her head slightly, her gaze settling on Xiao Jinghan. Xiao Jinghan, hailed as the most handsome man in Shangjing, had a face that was half bright and half dark under the dim light, a strange sight, as if he possessed both angelic and demonic qualities, captivating him.
As night fell, a bright moon hung high in the sky, casting a cool glow. In the stillness of the night, Dark Moon Fairy gently led Xiao Jinghan up to the second-floor terrace. As soon as they stepped onto the terrace, a faint aroma of wine filled their faces, intoxicating them.
In the center of the platform sat an exquisite round table, already laden with a sumptuous feast of food and wine. These delicacies, both visually appealing and fragrant, were mouth-watering. In the very center of the table sat a bottle of fine wine, its crystal clear body radiating an alluring aroma.
Dark Moon Fairy smiled and invited Xiao Jinghan to take a seat, personally filling a glass of Zui Sheng wine for him. She whispered, "Prince Xiao, please try Luo Lingyue's newly brewed Zui Liu Nian! This wine is mellow, sweet, and rich. No matter how much you drink, you won't get drunk."
Xiao Jinghan nodded slightly and took the wine glass. He stared at the amber-like liquid in the glass, feeling the rich aroma lingering at the tip of his nose. He took a sip, and the mellow taste of the wine instantly spread in his mouth, with a hint of sweetness and a slight feeling of intoxication.
As time went by, the two savored delicious food and fine wine while chatting about the affairs of the world. Their topics covered a wide range of topics, from poetry and songs to the affairs of the martial arts world. In this pleasant atmosphere, the distance between them gradually became closer.
Dark Moon Enchantress was extremely surprised. Although Prince Xiao had been trapped in the palace, he was a man of great talent.
The sky gradually darkened, the night as cool as water. Xiao Jinghan slowly raised his wine glass, took a sip, and placed it back on the table. He then addressed the Dark Moon Fairy before him, saying bluntly, "Master Dark Moon, I've come here today to discuss something. Let me be frank: I hope to hire you as my personal bodyguard."
Hearing this, Dark Moon Fairy was slightly startled, but quickly regained her composure. She replied calmly, "Young Master Xiao, you're joking. The guards at the Wu'an Palace are incredibly skilled and powerful. Why would they need me to protect them?"
Xiao Jinghan's eyes flickered slightly, as if he had anticipated the other party's question. He calmly explained, "Although there are indeed many talented people in the palace, now that I have left the palace, there is no guarantee that no one will covet my life. Those desperate criminals in the martial arts world may be hired to assassinate me. Therefore, I need to rely on the reputation of the Dark Moon Pavilion. As long as the outside world knows that it is the Dark Moon Pavilion Master who is personally protecting me, I believe those assassins will be deterred."
Dark Moon Fairy was so smart that she immediately understood Xiao Jinghan's intention. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly and she chuckled, "So that's how it is. Prince Xiao wants to use the name of my Dark Moon Pavilion to intimidate the heroes!"
A faint smile appeared on Xiao Jinghan's stern face: "I will definitely offer 10,000 taels of gold to the Dark Moon Pavilion Master!"
Dark Moon Fairy's beautiful eyes gleamed with greed. She licked her juicy red lips and said in a delicate voice, "That's great! I'll have people spread this news tonight!"
Xiao Jinghan bowed slightly, clasped his hands together, and performed a standard bow: "Thank you, Master Dark Moon, for your help! If this matter is accomplished, I will never forget your great kindness!" His voice was low and magnetic, with an irresistible charm.
After Xiao Jinghan turned and left, Dark Moon Fairy waved with a twinkling look in her eyes, summoning the eagle from the shadows to her side. She lowered her voice and said, "Immediately go to the Soul-Dying Gate to find Blood Shadow, and tell him that this Pavilion Master has extremely important news to sell him! Remember, you must personally convey this to Blood Shadow himself."
Ying Yi followed the order and rushed all the way to the headquarters of the Soul-Snatching Sect. After some twists and turns, he finally found Shanglu.
When Shang Lu heard that it was the Dark Moon Pavilion Master who wanted to see the Sect Master about something important, he immediately asked Blue Bird to pass the message to the Sect Master.
Not long after, Blood Shadow arrived at the Soul-Calling Gate.
Facing the man in front of him who exuded a cold aura, Ying Yi did not show any fear. Instead, he conveyed the message of Dark Moon Fairy directly: "Our Pavilion Master has crucial information to sell to the leader of your sect. She is waiting for your visit in the backyard of Zuiyue Tower!" After that, he stood quietly aside, waiting for Xueying's response.
Xueying was stunned for a moment. When had the Dark Moon Pavilion's information network become stronger than the Soul-Seeking Sect's? He thought about his exhilarating match with the Dark Moon Fairy. He could have another fight today! This time, he had to beat her!
He said to Ying Yi, "Go report back to the Dark Moon Pavilion Master. I'll be there shortly!"
