Shen Wuyou raised his eyes and looked at her...
As expected, after becoming an emperor, his aura became stronger and he became more secretive.
"Little Demon congratulates the Empress on getting her wish."
She said this, but made no gesture to salute. It wasn't that she meant to be provocative, but she simply couldn't do it.
Under the cloak, the god-binding chain on her body became tighter the more she moved.
How could Long Chujun not understand what she meant?
The white chess piece in her hand finally fell. She looked at the chessboard, as if thinking about something. At the same time, she slowly raised her right hand and took back the God-Binding Chain.
After Shen Wuyou was freed, he didn't say anything else. He just sat opposite her obediently according to her instructions. After glancing at the chessboard on the table inconspicuously, he didn't move again.
"Can you play chess?" Long Chujun asked suddenly.
But even though it was a question, the calm voice contained the majesty of an emperor, making it impossible to refuse.
"No." Shen Wuyou answered bluntly without hesitation.
Playing chess has always been the best way to understand people's hearts.
Although she was good at chess, she was not completely confident when facing Long Chujun, who grew up in the palace.
"clatter!"
A sudden sound suddenly rang out.
The chess piece fell, breaking the strange silence in the air.
It must be made of the finest warm jade. The smooth white chess pieces landed on the chessboard, making a crisp and pleasant sound, yet it seemed to reveal a hint of something unusual...
"You are very wary of me."
She raised her eyes to look at her, her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, but her face was still serious and indifferent.
"Your Majesty, you worry too much."
Shen Wuyou chuckled lightly, his eyes calm:
"Little Demon has lived in a remote forest since the day he was born. How could he have had the opportunity to learn these elegant things?"
"I believe that souls from other worlds will eventually be different."
She opened her red lips slightly and calmly revealed a bolt of thunder that came out of nowhere.
Shen Wuyou was shocked when she heard this. She didn't have time to think about it and subconsciously wanted to deny it. However, seeing Long Chujun's determined and half-smiling eyes, she changed her words:
"Your Majesty's words... really make me panic..."
Hearing this, Long Chujun looked at her with interest, wanting to hear how she would refute next.
Unexpectedly, the other party ended his words like this and fell into silence.
The two looked at each other for a long time, their eyes confronting each other, without saying a word, but the struggle was very fierce.
The eerie and dead air seemed to have condensed...
One of them was exploring, the other was calm, and they looked at each other without moving their eyes.
After a long while, Long Chujun raised the corner of his lips and said with a half-smile, "Not denying, but not agreeing either. An ambiguous answer... Are you betting with me?"
"Your Majesty, you are joking. I dare not." Shen Wuyou smiled faintly and said nothing more.
At this time, too much talk will lead to mistakes, silence is golden.
She was indeed gambling, betting that Long Chujun was just testing her.
But she couldn't help but feel suspicious. Why would someone who had never seen another world suddenly mention these things?
And...are you still so sure?
But she didn't think about it for long, Long Chujun didn't seem to intend to hide it from her, and said bluntly:
"I once visited Mount Xuwang when I was young. Back then, I was incredibly gifted, and my teachers were at their wit's end. So, I spent my days immersed in the Tianji Pavilion, reading a vast library of books, leaving no stone unturned... And through that, I learned of you—the thousand-year-old legend of the blood-colored red spider lily, the Manjushage demon."
She looked at Shen Wuyou's shocked expression and slowly said:
"The book says that the Lycoris radiata demon..."
Contains the spirit of heaven and earth, and imprisons the souls of other worlds;
Controlling the things of life and death, crossing the Yin and Yang realms;
Life can be a world of chaos, and death is also a world of chaos;
Its bones mold the spiritual roots, its blood cures stubborn diseases,
His meat saves lives, and his heart saves the dead.
Therefore, there is a saying that "the other shore appears in the world, and it is a time of disaster and chaos."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wuyou's pupils shrank suddenly, and his heart trembled...
So, it turned out to be like this...
The complete legend is actually like this?!
Imprisoning souls from another world...?
Therefore, her rebirth was not due to luck at all, but was intentional by the real body of this Lycoris radiata!
But why, it had to be her?
The thing that controls life and death...
So, her ability to control corpses and skeletons in the cave wasn't some kind of sorcery, but rather an innate ability?!
As for the things that come after that, like shaping spiritual roots, curing stubborn diseases, saving lives, and restoring the souls of the dead...
They are all her death warrants!
But this crossing of Yin and Yang twice...
What does it mean?
Eating her heart wasn't enough; she also had to go to the underworld to retrieve her dead soul?
Let’s not talk about that for now.
Why did Long Chujun tell her this at this time?
It can't be out of good intentions...
Shen Wuyou suppressed his horrified expression and looked up at her: "Your Majesty, are you trying to make me realize my situation?"
"What else can you do?"
Long Chujun took in her expression, his eyes revealing his determination to get her, but his face remained indifferent, like a lurking wolf, leisurely waiting for its prey to fall into the trap.
Yeah, what can she do?
Destroy the books and capture everyone who knew about it?
Obviously, that's not advisable.
So Long Chujun's purpose is...
"What does your Majesty mean?" She retreated to advance.
"I thought you would be terrified." She did not answer directly.
