Hao stuck out his tongue, "You think I don't know? You didn't bring me out to play; you clearly wanted to see Miss Leng Ning yourself."
Feng Su looked at Hao with resentment, her eyes seeming to say that she would never take Hao with her again.
When the three of us returned to the palace, it was still deserted. I looked around and found the palace completely empty.
Sigh, You is still busy. I thought she would be here when I got back. I hid the disappointment in my eyes and said to Feng Su and the others, "You guys go back. I need to wash up and rest too."
Feng Su and Hao responded with a "yes" while playfully bickering.
The already empty and desolate palace became even more tranquil after Feng Su and Hao left.
I looked around the lifeless palace and wondered if I should let You bring in some people. Otherwise, it would be too unbearable for someone like me who loves liveliness to stay alone every day.
After washing up, I lay down on the bed to rest alone.
I was half asleep when I suddenly heard a strange noise in the room, and then a familiar warmth fell on my face.
I opened my eyes groggily, and You's handsome face appeared in front of me. I suddenly remembered the first time I met You. Back then, You was a bewitching villain with a touch of evil and a hint of allure. But I don't know when, You gradually became more and more serious. Now, he looks like a saintly immortal who has been abstinent for many years.
"You." I murmured You's name in a daze.
When You saw that I had woken up, her eyes were smiling as she stroked my face. "Xin'er, may you call me husband?"
I blinked, not understanding why You suddenly asked me to change how I addressed her today, but I still did as she said, "Husband?"
When You heard that I had changed her husband, the smile in her eyes deepened, and in an instant, my lips were covered by a warm touch.
I was slightly taken aback, but I immediately reacted and my hands involuntarily went to You's neck and shoulders, gently returning her kiss.
That night, You was exceptionally gentle, and kept murmuring for me to call him "husband."
If You hadn't shown no signs of alcohol, I would have suspected that she had drunk too much.
The next day, I woke up in You's arms. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw You's handsome face in front of me. He had fair skin, red lips that were even more delicate than a girl's, and eyes that were as bright as starlight but were closed at the moment, with only the shadows cast by his eyelashes under his eyes.
I reached out and gently touched You's eyelashes, marveling at how long they were. I then touched my own eyelashes and felt they were even longer than mine.
Just as I was arguing about whose eyelashes were longer, mine or You's, You opened her eyes and asked in a low, husky voice, "Xin'er, what are you doing?"
I withdrew my hand from my eyelashes and chuckled awkwardly, "I was comparing whose eyelashes are longer."
Upon hearing this, You's gaze fell on my eyes, staring for a long time before she suddenly lowered her head and gently kissed my eyelids. Then she looked up and said, "Xin'er's eyelashes are the longest and most beautiful I've ever seen."
Although I don't know if what You said is true or false, being praised is bound to make one happy.
However, I still said, against my will, "You're lying."
You simply looked at me with a steady smile.
After joking around with You for a while, I suddenly remembered what I had heard yesterday.
"You, are we going to fight Liu Lieyu?" I asked, a little breathless and uneasy.
"Um."
"Is Liu Lieyu really going to disregard everything? What good would it do him if we started fighting? The situation outside is unstable, and he doesn't care about Hell, the West, or the remnants of the Heavenly Court in Luo?"
I knew there would be a stop, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. I thought that after Liu Lieyu learned of my news, given his cautious nature, he would definitely have planned it out before taking action.
"Xin'er." You suddenly called me, and although her tone was no different from usual, I could still vaguely detect a hint of worry in her voice.
"What's wrong?"
What do you think of Luo?
"Luo?" Why did You suddenly mention Luo? "Luo was the Water God before. After I promoted him, he has been working by my side. Although he is a bit ambitious, he is reliable."
You glanced at me with a slight flicker in her eyes, as if she wanted to say something to me.
"What happened? Did something happen to Luo?" My first thought was that Liu Lieyu had captured Luo.
You shook her head.
"So what exactly happened?"
You lowered her eyes and pondered for a long time before speaking, "Luo may have sided with Liu Lieyu."
"Impossible!" I immediately retorted. How could Luo possibly side with Liu Lieyu? If he were... But soon I felt guilty. I remembered... I remembered that in the original story, Luo only obtained the position of Lord of Heaven by siding with Liu Lieyu.
But why? Luo is now the ruler of the Heavenly Court, so why would he still pledge allegiance to Liu Lieyu? If Luo had intended to pledge allegiance earlier, why did he help You and me in the first place? He could have easily exposed us to Liu Lieyu back then.
Seeing my flustered expression, You said again, "Xin'er, don't worry, it's just a possibility."
I sighed and calmed myself down. "Did something happen?"
"I found out the day before yesterday that Liu Lieyu learned our location through Luo Cai."
"How could this be?" We never told Luo about our presence in the Abyss. I only found out when I was brought here by You's formation. How could Luo know?
"You, are you sure you're not mistaken? How would Luo know where we are?"
His dark eyes deepened. "I'm 90% sure I'm right."
I stared blankly at You. I never imagined that Luo would be the one to expose our whereabouts. I just couldn't understand how Luo knew.
“Liu Lieyu found out where we were by reading the letter Luo gave him.” You reached out and stroked my face. “We never told Luo, nor did we ever contact him, yet he knew where we were so easily.”
You's tone suddenly became more serious, and a warm smile appeared on her lips, "Interesting."
Before I could even ask him not to hurt him, I swallowed the words back. Although I'm not particularly clever, I know that on the battlefield, showing mercy to the enemy could ultimately harm oneself.
I don't want to die, and I especially don't want anything to happen to You.
When will Liu Lieyu's army reach the abyss?
You looked down at me, leaned down and kissed my cheek. "Xin'er, don't worry, I will protect you."
"But...but..." I tugged at You's sleeve.
"What's wrong?"
"I want to help too..." I blinked and looked at You with a pitiful expression.
In every battle, I've never been a help. Sometimes I've even made things worse. I want to contribute, I want to stand by You's side and fight alongside him.
You looked at me without saying a word, her brows furrowed with a hint of helplessness.
"You, it's not good yet..." I continued in a sweet voice, "My husband~"
"I promise I'll do whatever you say, and I'll do whatever you tell me to do. I definitely won't cause any trouble." I patted my chest and swore to You, then added, "You, I will definitely protect myself."
