Upon hearing this, Li Ji's eyes widened suddenly, and her hands, hanging limply at her sides, seemed to fidget nervously. "What does Master mean?"
"Come back to the Demon Realm with me."
Ming Qiancheng said calmly, "If you are unwilling, then so be it."
"I do!"
Li Ji quickly answered, her eyes slightly red. At that moment, she really wanted to rush into Ming Qiancheng's arms, but she knew she didn't deserve it.
So she suppressed her emotions, her whole body trembling slightly with excitement, and stood still without overstepping her bounds.
It seemed that Li Ji's willingness or unwillingness did not bother Ming Qiancheng at all. He turned around and continued walking forward. He had to return to the Demon Realm before Mo Shisheng regained her memories.
When he learned that Mo Shisheng was the girl who could control all beasts, his first thought was what would happen if Mo Shisheng regained her memories and knew that the person she hated most was Ming Beiya.
...
Chu Mountain.
It was extremely dark outside, with a howling wind blowing. Because of the battle with the Southern Kingdom today, Mo Shisheng gave them a day off, which was unusual for them.
But as soon as night fell, the atmosphere immediately turned gloomy, and even inside the tent, one could hear the howling wind outside.
Mo Shisheng had no doubt that if the wind were any stronger, it could probably blow the tents away.
Suddenly, the curtain was lifted from the outside, and Shangguan Xuan walked in, carrying two cleaned wild rabbits. He walked up to Mo Shisheng and handed them to her.
Mo Shisheng glanced at the wild rabbit. "You came to me in the middle of the night asking me to roast a rabbit for you."
"You didn't eat much for dinner."
Shangguan Xuan said softly, "This was just beaten."
"You're crazy."
Upon hearing that Shangguan Xuan had just gone to make the call, Mo Shisheng frowned slightly. "It's so windy outside, why did you go out?"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Xuan calmly raised his eyes to look at Mo Shisheng, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Worried about me?"
"I'm afraid that if Shangguan Zong fails to rescue you and something goes wrong, then the Shangguan family will truly be left without anyone."
Mo Shisheng glanced at Shangguan Xuan with her cold eyes. Although she expressed her disdain for Shangguan Xuan, she immediately put on her shoes, got off the couch, and piled up the firewood.
The rabbit was skewered through clean bamboo and placed over the fire to roast. The warm light shone on Mo Shisheng, revealing only her soft features. Her exquisite and beautiful eyebrows and eyes had matured and become even more dazzling.
"The Imperial Advisor hasn't come to see you recently."
Shangguan Xuan gently took off his outer robe, washed his hands in a bucket of water, and walked to the fire, reaching out to touch the bamboo frame on which the wild rabbit was perched.
"Don't move!"
Seeing Shangguan Xuan's hand about to touch the bamboo, Mo Shisheng coldly rebuked him, rolling her eyes at him, "Do you think Ming Beiya ran to Chu Mountain for no reason?"
In fact, Mo Shisheng also wanted Ming Beiya to come, but he seemed to be too busy lately. He had only come once since her birthday, spending the whole night chatting with her on the couch before leaving near dawn.
The consequence of chatting all night was that Mo Shisheng was yawning the whole time, and she could fall asleep anytime she was given a bed.
Having spent time with Mo Shisheng, Shangguan Xuan has come to know her true nature. She's just sharp-tongued, but she's not actually that cold-hearted.
Seemingly knowing what Shangguan Xuan was thinking, Mo Shisheng gave him a cold glance, "Don't be fooled by my appearance. You've seen my cold-blooded side before."
