"Azure Phoenix!"
Seeing that Qingluan was about to leave due to emotional breakdown, Zhuque tried to step forward to pull her away, but Qingluan rejected him and dodged away.
"Don't follow me. I'll go find Shi Sheng myself!"
Qingluan turned and left, her eyes reddening.
Zhuque wanted to follow, but he was afraid that Qingluan would be angered. After all, he had known Qingluan's personality for so long.

Mo Shisheng was taken back to his palace by Ming Qiancheng, with Ling Xue following closely behind him, as if afraid that he might do something to Mo Shisheng.
Seeing Lingxue's cautious demeanor, Ming Qiancheng chuckled, "Afraid I'll eat her?"
"..."
Who knows if you'll eat it?
Lingxue muttered to herself, but dared not say it aloud.
Even without speaking, Lingxue's expression said it all, and Ming Qiancheng could tell what she was thinking at a glance.
"Her current frail body really doesn't allow me to do anything to her."
Ming Qiancheng's words dispelled Ling Xue's worries. After placing Mo Shisheng on his bed, he turned and left.
"I've had someone prepare hot water; you can wash her body yourself later."
"good."
Lingxue nodded quickly. She had originally intended to take care of Mo Shisheng herself, otherwise she wouldn't feel comfortable entrusting him to anyone else.
It would take some time to prepare hot water, so Ming Qiancheng went to the main hall outside the room and leaned lazily against the soft couch, as if he had no intention of leaving.
Seeing this, Lingxue felt a little anxious. "Why are you sitting here?"
"This is where I live. Is there a problem with me here?"
Upon hearing this, Ming Qiancheng raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone tinged with a hint of mockery, "Or perhaps, you want to take over my place?"
"What? Shi Sheng is a girl living here all by herself. Don't you want to avoid suspicion?"
Lingxue frowned, her chubby face almost squishing into a ball.
"If I leave now, you'll see Mo Shisheng disappear right before your eyes in the blink of an eye, believe it or not."
Ming Qiancheng just thought Lingxue was silly; how could someone like that grow up to be so big?
They have no brains at all.
"..."
Ming Qiancheng's words seemed to awaken Ling Xue from her dream. She suddenly realized that Mo Shisheng was in extremely dangerous condition. If Ming Qiancheng really left, she definitely wouldn't be able to protect Mo Shisheng.
Thinking of this, even though Lingxue was unwilling in her heart, she still had nothing more to say.
Seeing the complex emotions on Lingxue's face, from frustration to relief, Ming Qiancheng knew that she must understand the implications of the situation.
Ming Qiancheng nestled lazily on the soft couch, suddenly remembering what Mo Shisheng had said to Lingxue earlier. He asked in a nonchalant tone, "Mo Shisheng asked you to take care of Liji?"
"What's it to you?"
Lingxue was unaware of Liji's relationship with Mingqiancheng. When he suddenly asked about Liji, Lingxue instinctively retorted.
What's wrong with her?
Ming Qiancheng felt that something was not simple. It was impossible for Li Ji to leave the Demon Realm for the Divine Realm without a reason, unless something happened. However, he did not guess why Li Ji would leave him.
"What does Liji's condition have to do with you? Is the child in Liji's belly yours?"
Lingxue regretted her words immediately afterward. She suddenly remembered that Liji was carrying a demon seed, and now Ming Qiancheng was suddenly asking about Liji...
Wouldn't that mean...?
