But no one noticed that the moon-white bell at Lu Fuyue's waist suddenly started to shake, making a silvery sound.
In the city lord's palace,
A woman in a long green dress with a slit that went up to her inner thigh lay on a soft couch, propping her chin up with her hand. Her bright eyes were fixed on the man kneeling on the ground, whose clothes were loose and revealed glimpses of his fair skin. She asked curiously, "Your name is Song Zhou?"
Song Zhou lowered his head, barely daring to breathe, and nervously replied, "Yes."
Green Moon suddenly laughed, "Is my bed warm yet?"
Song Zhou stiffened and lowered his head even further. "It's...it's warmed up."
Green Moon hadn't seen such a shy man in a long time. Suddenly, she became interested and reached out towards Song Zhou, "Since that's the case, why don't you quickly carry me to bed?"
Song Zhou subconsciously looked up at her abruptly. When he met her bright and clear eyes, his ears turned bright red instantly, and his voice weakened. "City...City Lord, I...you...men and women should not touch each other."
At this moment, the servants inside the room wisely withdrew.
Green Moon glanced at him unhappily. "Now that you've entered the City Lord's Mansion, you're my servant. Do you expect to remain chaste for anyone?"
Song Zhou hurriedly explained, "No, no, Lord City Lord, it's just... it's just that the development has been too fast."
Green Moon's expression softened a bit. "Then carry me to bed."
Song Zhou's forehead was covered in a fine sweat. After hesitating for a moment, he got up and walked towards Green Moon.
Just as he closed his eyes and was about to reach out to hug her, the bell on Green Moon's waist suddenly started shaking violently. She was startled, and then a look of shock and joy flashed in her eyes. "It's him. He's back. He's finally back."
Green Moon stood up, forcefully pushed away Song Zhou's outstretched hand, and then with a flick of her sleeve, she instantly disappeared from the spot.
Song Zhou was pushed to the ground, looking at Lü Yue's departing figure with a somewhat hurt expression, not understanding what was happening.
Is it because he didn't serve me well that Lord City Lord wants to find someone else?
Or does it mean that the city lord already has someone he likes?
...
Inside the Ghost Inn,
The divine sense at the peak of the Out-of-Body stage locked Lu Fuyue firmly, making it impossible for her to move even slightly.
Lu Fuyue's pupils suddenly contracted. Just as she was about to make a desperate gamble and use the power of her phoenix bloodline to escape, a green phantom suddenly appeared in front of her, easily deflecting Lu Zhengxuan's fierce sword attack and knocking his sword away with a backhand.
Lu Zhengxuan's expression changed drastically, before he could even react. He heard a sharp shout, "Who dares to be so bold as to make a move in my Netherworld Inn!"
How could he forget that no one is allowed to lay a hand on anyone inside the Netherworld Inn?
Immediately, the other party raised their hand and struck him hard in the chest. Instantly, Lu Zhengxuan was unable to dodge and was hit, spitting blood as he collapsed to the ground. When he saw who was in front of him, he was shocked and his eyes widened. "City...City Lord, how could it be you?"
Green Moon's cold eyes suddenly darkened, and her imposing aura pressed down on Lu Zhengxuan. "You dare to touch my people on my territory? You've got a death wish!"
Lu Zhengxuan's expression changed drastically. He got up from the ground and was about to run away, but before he could get far, his body was frozen by a ghostly force. Then, his body was slammed against the wall uncontrollably, and he fainted, half-dead.
Lu Fuyue looked at the green-clad woman blocking her way, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. This person was actually the city lord of Youming City, so why would he save her?
But in the instant she was distracted, she was suddenly hugged tightly around the waist. Green Moon leaned against Lu Fuyue's chest, her eyes red and choked with sobs, "Lu Xing, you're finally back. I missed you so much."
Lu Fuyue tensed up, trying to break free from the embrace, but was held tightly and unable to escape. "Lord City Lord, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"
The name Lu Xing was just something she made up on the spot.
Upon hearing this, Lü Yue's eyes reddened even more, and she hugged Lu Fuyue's waist even tighter.
"Lu Xing, do you... not want me anymore?"
How could she mistake him for someone else? This man was carrying the love bell that he had personally crafted for her.
Before he passed away, he said that he would soon be reincarnated and return to see her, carrying this bell. But she waited for thousands of years, and Lu Xing still did not appear.
Fortunately, after 8,999 years since he left, he finally returned.
But this person no longer recognized her.
However, she has evidence.
Thinking of this, Lü Yue reached out and touched Lu Fuyue's waist, wanting to pull off the breath-controlling bell hanging on her waist.
Lu Fuyue subconsciously raised her hand to stop her, "Lord City Lord..."
Green Moon paused, then suddenly unleashed a restraint that firmly immobilized Lu Fuyue. She stared at Lu Fuyue with a dazed expression, "You didn't call me that before."
Lu Fuyue was taken aback; it seemed she had mistaken her for someone else.
Could it be that I resemble that person now? But this is just her appearance; upon closer inspection, it's simply a change from her original appearance, making her more masculine. She didn't use someone else's appearance.
Green Moon walked to Lu Fuyue's side, then forcibly tore off the Breath-Concealing Bell from her body, and then reached down to tear off the bell hanging from her own waist.
She stood in front of Lu Fuyue, placed the bells in her hands in front of Lu Fuyue, and looked at her and said, word by word, "Lu Xing, you actually said I mistook you for someone else? Then look at this."
Lu Fuyue's voice trailed off as her gaze fell upon the two identical jade bells in Green Moon's hand. She never imagined that the Concealing Breath Bells would actually be a pair, and that the other one was still in the possession of the City Lord of Netherworld City.
Judging from this, the Lord of the Netherworld City clearly considers her to be his beloved, but she doesn't.
Lu Fuyue shook her head. "Lord City Lord, I am not the Lu Xing you speak of."
"I only obtained this bell by chance."
She used a fake identity before she came in, and if she were to suddenly reveal it now, she would inevitably be seen as someone with ulterior motives.
The sadness in Green Moon's eyes gradually faded, replaced by endless complexity. After a long while, she said, "You are indeed not him. He would never treat me like this."
Lu Fuyue felt relieved and was about to leave when she suddenly heard the other party's tone change, "However, from today onwards, you will be my male concubine and must stay by my side at all times."
Lu Fuyue's expression changed slightly, "Lord City Lord..."
However, before she could say anything, Green Moon waved her sleeve, and instantly she and Green Moon appeared in a magnificent room.
