With her back to him, Mo Shisheng smiled faintly, "Your Highness, please return this time. Next time we meet, I will simply be a dragon hunter."
"..."
After saying that, Mo Shisheng turned and went back to her room. She had no idea what happened after that.
I don't want to know.
Mo Shisheng rightfully regained her identity, but she felt that things had gone too smoothly, as if something was wrong, yet she couldn't pinpoint what was going on.
For several days in a row, Mo Shisheng locked herself in her room and did not go out once, while Xie Ze followed Bei Rao every day to heal her wounds.
On this day, Xie arrived at Bei Rao's courtyard on time. Bei Rao was in much better spirits than usual, with a rosy complexion. She sat on the stone table outside the courtyard and smiled faintly when she saw Xie coming.
"You've arrived."
"The saintess seems to be in a good mood."
Even Xie Na's handsome, ethereal face wore a faint smile. "What happened?"
"Now that Sheng'er is by my side, I am naturally overjoyed, but..."
At this, Bei Rao frowned slightly, a hint of worry gradually appearing in her eyes. "Xie, tell me the truth, does she have some kind of relationship with the Demon Lord?"
"..."
Xie suddenly didn't know how to answer the question. He couldn't lie to Bei Rao, but he couldn't tell the truth either. Was he supposed to just tell Bei Rao that they loved each other and that something had forced them to separate?
Forget it, evil will never utter these words.
Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Xie sat opposite Bei Rao and said, "The Holy Maiden has finally recovered, so she shouldn't be concerned with these matters anymore. Sheng Sheng isn't a child, and I trust her sense of propriety."
These words were a tactful refusal to answer Bei Rao, and in fact, Bei Rao had already thought of such an answer.
Knowing that her wicked nature wouldn't tell her, she only asked out of curiosity.
On the path of love, she was once stubborn and infatuated, but she's been there too.
It was obvious at a glance that there was a entanglement between Ming Beiya and Mo Shisheng, but Bei Rao chose to remain silent, just like with Xie. They were very confident in Mo Shisheng's sense of propriety in doing things.
Exhaling a breath of stale air, Bei Rao gently placed her arm in front of Xie, letting him take her pulse.
In the other room, Mo Shisheng had locked herself inside for the fifth time and refused to come out.
No matter how much Lingxue, Lingying, Jiangge, and Jiangyao called out, she refused to open the door to her room.
Finally, Lingying lowered her eyes slightly and let Jiangge, Jiangyao, and Lingxue leave first. She had some things she wanted to tell Moshisheng alone.
After the three of them left, Lingying stood outside looking at the closed door and said softly, "Shisheng, I have something I want to say to you. Can you give me this chance?"
Inside the room, Mo Shisheng sat on the bed, thinking they had all left, but little did she know that Lingying was still outside.
He frowned slightly, but still spoke calmly, "Come in."
With Mo Shisheng's permission, the door that had been tightly closed for five days was finally opened.
A faint fragrance wafted through the door, the scent of Mo Shisheng mixed with the aroma of medicine.
Lingying asked with suspicion, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, what's wrong?"
Mo Shisheng spoke softly, getting straight to the point.
