"It's my fault he got into trouble. I should have just not agreed to his request."
You stroked my head to comfort me, "It has nothing to do with you. I doubt he could live in the abyss for billions of years and still not experience even a moment of happiness."
You's words make sense. Jin Yu's satisfied expression before she died was genuine, but I still feel a bit guilty. Perhaps there's a better way.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!" A celestial official rushed in, sweating profusely, his hair ornament askew.
"What is it?"
The celestial official swallowed hard and glanced cautiously at Youdi before speaking, "Youdi, Liu Lieyu has escaped."
"What?" You Rui's sharp gaze was fixed on the newcomer, whose aura intensified.
The celestial official, already panicked, was so frightened by You's gaze that he immediately knelt down and stammered, "Your Majesty, this subordinate... this subordinate doesn't know how Liu Lieyu escaped. According to my servants, the young child of the Liu family who returned with Emperor Xin has also disappeared."
"You don't know? Liu Lieyu was clearly on his deathbed. The prison was impenetrable, guarded by layers upon layers of people. How could a little snake demon escape like that?" You's expression was icy cold, and the storm of anger in his eyes seemed ready to erupt at any moment.
"You Emperor, Liu Lieyu is no ordinary little snake demon. He...he...he is the Eastern Emperor, perhaps..."
"What could it be?" Before the celestial official could finish speaking, You interrupted, "His sacred spring in the Ruins of Return is destroyed, his divine power has long since dissipated. Now he's nothing more than a snake demon, only protected by the Eastern Emperor Bell."
"It might be the Eastern Emperor Bell..."
You stared at the kneeling celestial official with a dark and gloomy expression, saying nothing.
"Your Majesty, spare me! I spoke out of turn." The little immortal official, sensing the dangerous aura emanating from You, hurriedly kowtowed and apologized.
Seeing that You was so angry with this little immortal official, I couldn't help but chuckle to myself. This immortal official was really honest.
I was laughing when You suddenly turned to look at me. I was caught red-handed, so I quickly stopped laughing and looked at the celestial officials below with a serious expression.
You glared at me fiercely, then turned her head away haughtily, leaving me with only the back of her head.
Could it be that You, with her narrow mind, thinks I'm happy because I know Liu Lieyu ran away? The more I think about it, the more likely it seems.
"You, don't be angry. Let's send someone to chase after them. We might still be able to catch them." I stepped forward and walked to You's side.
You snorted, "Aren't you happy?"
"I don't!"
"I saw you smirking just now."
"Oh, You, don't be angry. I love you the most. You are my precious little darling." After saying that, I gave You a big kiss on the cheek. Luckily, the celestial official kept his head down and couldn't see our little interaction.
You touched the spot where I had just kissed her. Although she was still sulking and not saying anything, her expression had softened considerably, and her tone was no longer as fierce as before. "Did you send someone to chase after them?"
"Yes! I immediately dispatched heavenly soldiers to pursue them, and also had someone specially assigned to check the prison."
"Come with me to the prison."
"Yes." The little immortal official scrambled to his feet.
"You, I'm going too!"
You ignored me.
Wow, still angry? I pouted, annoyed. What a petty, narrow-minded person! Humph, if I ever think about how I like Liu Lieyu, I'll really run off with him and make you regret it.
I was mentally complaining when my hand was suddenly taken.
When I came to my senses, I saw that it was You who was secretly holding my hand.
I couldn't help but laugh. What a big fool.
