Chapter 82
Jiu did as he was told. At first, he felt his body was a little cold. A stream of icy temperature pierced his spinal cord and reached the top of his head.
But gradually, there was a warm current in his body - at the same time, many thin red lines appeared in front of him, floating in the air, connecting him and Pei Zhao not far away.
Ajiu suddenly realized that there was another thought in his mind.
Light, but not to be ignored.
It's like the desire to drink ice water in midsummer. Once it exists, you will unconsciously desire it more and more.
Until her eyes met Pei Zhao's.
Yes, that's the idea.
The voice in my heart is screaming wildly.
He wanted to possess the person in front of him.

The puppet shop opposite Huada University, which had been closed for a long time, recently put up a sign indicating that it was open as usual. Someone had the courage to ask why it was so busy recently?
The handsome guy with golden eyes lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Of course we're going to make puppets. Look, we've got a lot more stock!"
Sudi mailed them many new puppets, and Bai Zhou signed for Pei Zhao. Bai Zhou and Lan Ji also had doubts. They were all puppeteers, so how could Sudi subdue so many puppets? Is he some kind of mission maniac?
However, Sudi has been busy traveling around with the resurrected blond boy recently, and even the information he sends is transmitted according to the time difference. He has no time to pay attention to them.
At the store entrance, Bai Zhou packed the contracts and puppets that were mailed today into a bag, thanked the courier, and after watching him leave, he walked back to the store with his hands in his pockets. Looking at the quiet store, he casually said, "I wonder when Zhao Zhao and the others will be back."
"It should be soon." Lan Ji pulled up the container, made sure the door was locked, and leaned casually on the counter to browse his phone. "Zhao sent me a message a few days ago saying that they don't like to drag their feet on tasks. It's about time now."
Bai Zhou nodded and looked at the time: "It's almost time, and today's turnover has been reached. Should we close the store?"
Lan Ji raised an eyebrow: "So early?" But he had already started packing.
Bai Zhou came close to Lan Ji, pushed him onto the counter, and whispered in his ear: "Today is Sunday. According to the rules of this world, we should rest... and, I think..."
Bai Zhou said the last few words while biting Lan Ji's ear. Lan Ji's face turned red, and he pushed Bai Zhou away angrily. He threw the things in his hands on the table, said, "Clean it up yourself!", and ran upstairs.
Bai Zhou straightened up with a smile, and watched Lan Ji disappear around the corner before he began to pack up his things without complaint: "Really, you're still shy after so many times..."
"Ding, ding." The phone in his pocket rang. Bai Zhou was startled and opened it to see, "Zhao Zhao?"
"Bai Zhou, we are back. But..."
The students outside saw the handsome boy with golden eyes talking on the phone, his face suddenly changed and his phone fell to the ground.
"Have you told them everything?"
Seeing Pei Zhao put away his phone, Zhou Yuli asked.
"Yeah." Pei Zhao was in a good mood and took the initiative to rub Zhou Yuli's waist. "Why do I feel like you've gotten stronger recently?"
Zhou Yuli blushed when he touched her, but he tried his best to remain calm: "Yeah, it was a little heavy."
"Tsk," Pei Zhao said, "Why do you eat and drink together? You have such a better figure than me."
Zhou Yuli looked down at him: "You are just right."
Pei Zhao was satisfied: "Well, I think I'm pretty good this way too."
Zhou Yuli laughed, "Go back quickly, Bai Zhou and Lan Ji will be very happy."
Pei Zhao nodded heavily, "I'll go back right away."
In the puppet shop, Bai Zhou told Lan Ji the news that Hall City had been resurrected. Lan Ji was so happy that he could hardly speak. After they kissed each other, they packed up and stood at the door of the store waiting for Pei Zhao and the others.
"Zhao said that he brought back one of my people...I don't quite understand. Do I have anyone else besides you?" Bai Zhou said.
Lan Ji glanced at him and guessed, "Could it be one of your former subordinates?"
"Ah... then let's not do that. My former subordinates are all crazy and are eyeing me covetously. They hope that I will unify the whole city in one rage. If I really bring them back, we will have to pretend to be strangers in front of others every day."
Bai Zhou was really fed up with that time. Although he liked Lan Ji very much, he had to pretend to be unfamiliar with her in front of outsiders. It’s better now. Whenever I want to kiss him, I can just lean over and Lan Ji won’t avoid me.
"If he is really an old subordinate, we should keep our distance. After all, if the City of Hall is revived, you will definitely have to go back to take charge of the situation. You must do it with the right reasons." Lan Ji said calmly.
"Lan," Bai Zhou looked at him unhappily, "Even if we go back to take charge of the situation, it should be you and me together - this is legitimate. What's more, I am no longer the fifth prince. I am Zhao Zhao's puppet. We are a perfect match. Don't mention keeping a distance from me anymore."
Lan Ji did not refute, but he had already made up his mind. If they were really Bai Zhou's old subordinates, even if he did not take the initiative to keep his distance, he would be tricked into not being able to get close to Bai Zhou.
That was what happened back then, so much so that Lan Ji had to build up his own power and even directly confront Bai Zhou.
I thought I could live a peaceful life once I came to this world...but is my peaceful life finally going to be disrupted?
From a distance, Lan Ji saw Pei Zhao and Zhou Yuli walking side by side.
Seeing clearly what they were holding, Lan Ji couldn't help but become serious.
He always felt guilty towards the City of Hall. If they had not left, perhaps the fate of the City of Hall's demise could have been changed.
As the sky gradually darkened, more and more students appeared on the road. Soon, someone noticed that the two owners of the puppet shop, who were usually casual and relaxed, looked dignified and even solemn today.
"I leave it to you." Pei Zhao said.
Bai Zhou did not lower his head, he just lowered his eyes. The moment the familiar building came into view, he seemed to have become the proud prince of the city again.
He nodded dignifiedly and said "thank you".
Lan Ji was already following behind him, half a body length behind him, as if he was protecting him.
Pei Zhao followed Bai Zhou and Lan Ji into the store. Close the roller shutter and turn on the lights.
Bai Zhou placed the model of Hall's City on the counter. As soon as he withdrew his hand, Lan Ji knelt on one knee beside him.
Bai Zhou's expression moved slightly and his Adam's apple rolled, but he didn't say anything in the end.
"What should we do?" Bai Zhou asked.
"We don't know the details..." Pei Zhao said softly. The two people in front of him seemed to have really returned to the distance they had when they first met. Pei Zhao seemed to be unfamiliar with them. He said seriously with some discomfort, "We also brought back your old subordinates. Here."
Lan Ji's heart trembled.
The old subordinates...are coming as expected.
Pei Zhao slowly took out a puppet from his bag and stood it up for them to see.
"That's it. However, in order to come back from the other world, I can only puppet him. If I want him to speak again, I'm afraid I have to find him a master..."
"Ajiu." Lan Ji said softly, closing his eyes in pain.
Bai Zhou also frowned, looking unhappy. After a moment of silence, he asked, "...Did he tell you that Hall City can be brought back?"
Pei Zhao nodded: "Well, he seems to know a lot. Who is he?" Pei Zhao saw that Bai Zhou and Lan Ji both looked unhappy, and couldn't help asking.
Bai Zhou didn't say anything, just turned around. Pei Zhao inexplicably felt that he was not in a good mood.
It was Lan Ji who stood up from the ground and took the puppet. He said to Pei Zhao: "He is the historian beside His Highness, who is in opposition to me."
Pei Zhao was stunned: "Opposition? Does it mean that he doesn't approve of your relationship? Or...political opposition?"
"Both sides... Bai Zhou?!" Lan Ji wanted to explain again, but Bai Zhou grabbed his wrist with such force that it hurt. Lan Ji struggled desperately and glared at him angrily, "This is in front of the main city!"
"Lan, the main city has been destroyed!" Bai Zhou's eyes were red, and he suppressed his voice, which was almost colder than the ice three feet deep in the lake in winter. "I can't let him appear by your side, don't even think about it."
Lan Ji turned around, but didn't look at him. He just lowered his head and spoke in a flat tone, instantly widening the distance between them.
"Your Highness, please put state affairs first."
Bai Zhou still held Lan Ji's hand tightly, but he could not say a word in rebuttal.
Pei Zhao saw that the two were not in a good mood and instinctively wanted to stop the fight, but he saw Zhou Yuli shook his head at him. Pei Zhao changed his mind and thought, this is a big event in Hall City, why should he get involved.
Pei Zhao and Zhou Yuli went up to the second floor silently, leaving the remaining space to Bai Zhou and Lan Ji.

Upstairs, Miu Yi was sitting cross-legged on the coffin. Pei Zhao was in a hurry when he came back last time and had no time to have a good talk with Miu Yi. When he saw him this time, Pei Zhao's eyes lit up. Miu Yi also rushed over excitedly.
"elder brother!"
Pei Zhao patted him on the shoulder and said, "How can you sit still like this now? You didn't even make a fuss about going downstairs to play."
"Yes." Miu Yi pouted, "Brother Lan gave me a lot of homework, and told me not to go downstairs until I finished it, otherwise Brother Bai would break my legs!"
Pei Zhao burst out laughing. Pei Zhao glanced at the homework spread out on the coffin board, which were all junior high school exercises. He took a quick look at the math problems and found that his accuracy rate was still very high.
"You are still young. You need to study hard so that you can live better in human society. Did Lan Ji let you go to school?"
"Of course I know!" Miu Yi is much more lively than when he first came. "I haven't been to school yet. Brother Lan said that the school has to hold parent-teacher conferences from time to time, so it's not convenient. He also said that he knows all these and can teach me. When I pass the high school entrance examination or you guys are busy, you can let me go to school."
"That's fine." Pei Zhao thought about it. Because of his special appearance, even if he could change his appearance with colored contact lenses and makeup, it would be too hard for him.
Miu Yi looked behind them and asked, "Where are Brother Lan and Brother Bai?"
"They..." Pei Zhao was a little embarrassed.
"You are wrong," Zhou Yuli, who was standing beside him, took over the conversation when he saw Pei Zhao was in a dilemma. "Do you know what the old subordinates your brother Lan was talking about are like?"
Miu Yi tilted his head: "Brother Lan never mentioned it, but Brother Bai did mention an old subordinate."
"Oh?" Pei Zhao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that it was Bai Zhou who mentioned it.
