Upon hearing this, Li Ji's face suddenly turned pale, and she abruptly looked into the lotus pond. A sharp pain shot through her jaw, and she found herself unable to move.
Ming Qiancheng forcefully pinched Li Ji's chin, forcing her to look him in the eye. Li Ji squatted in front of Ming Qiancheng, her face slightly tilted up, "Betraying my master is a crime deserving of death."
"Oh……"
Li Ji's answer was indeed satisfactory, but Ming Qiancheng felt that something was missing. He chuckled, released his hand from Li Ji's chin, and bent down slightly to pick her up in his arms.
The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Li Ji instinctively reach out and wrap her arms around the man's neck. When she turned around, she saw the person in the lotus pond.
It's Princess Lian!
Her face was covered in blood, with bloodstains at the corners of her eyes, and she was soaking in the lotus pond with a deathly pale complexion.
Li Ji trembled slightly. It wasn't that she hadn't killed people before, but she had never seen anyone like Lian Ji, covered in cruel wounds...
Sensing Li Ji's fear, Ming Qiancheng said quietly, "The consequences of betraying me are never good."
"..."
Li Ji tightened her grip on Ming Qiancheng's neck slightly. "Li Ji will never betray you, Master..."
Ming Qiancheng didn't take these words to heart, but he kept thinking about the faint smile on Mo Shisheng's beautiful face when she threw herself into Ming Beiya's arms.
That was an expression Mo Shisheng had never seen before in the underground royal city...

When Mo Shisheng woke up, there was a kiss on her forehead. She opened her sleepy eyes, a hint of confusion in them, and asked, "Aren't we there yet?"
"Soon."
Ming Beiya smiled faintly, his slender fingers gently parting Mo Shisheng's collar, his fingertips pinching the meteorite jade chain, and he asked softly, "Why didn't you tell me you were in danger through the meteorite jade chain?"
"Ming Beiya, in this dog-eat-dog world, I need to become strong."
Upon hearing this, Mo Shisheng stretched lazily, a faint smile on her beautiful face.
Ming Beiya buttoned up her clothes, his dark eyes fixed on her intently. "Won't you sleep a little longer?"
Mo Shisheng shook her head, knowing they were almost at the manor, and reached out to put on the mask beside her. "Ming Qiancheng, what do you mean by exchanging me for Jialuo Academy?"
"The country has been replaced by a beauty."
The man chuckled softly, exuding an air of noble aloofness.
"Have I really become a femme fatale who brought ruin to the country?" Mo Shisheng couldn't help but laugh out loud, her peach blossom eyes curving into crescent moons, playfully captivating everyone.
Ming Beiya couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her soft, black hair. "Do you like it?"
“Not at all. I used the Gara Academy to get close to the princes and crown princes of other countries. If it’s destroyed like this, how can I complete our deal?” Mo Shisheng raised her eyebrows slightly. A long strand of Ming Beiya’s hair fell in front of her, and she grabbed it and tugged it gently.
The wildcat used its strength, pulling so hard it hurt a little, as if it were retaliating for Ming Beiya for forcing Mo Shisheng to make a deal with him.
If Mo Shisheng hadn't suddenly brought up that deal at this moment, Ming Beiya would probably have truly forgotten about it.
He leaned down slightly, his stunningly handsome face close to Mo Shisheng's, his eyes locked on the girl's. "Is Asheng angry?"
"How could I dare to be angry with the Imperial Advisor?"
"No sarcastic or sarcastic remarks allowed."
Hearing Mo Shisheng use this strange tone, Ming Beiya frowned slightly.
"Ming Beiya, do you live in the Pacific Ocean?" Mo Shisheng rolled her eyes at Ming Beiya and snorted coldly.
