"Where are we going?" I finally couldn't help but ask as I followed behind Lan Qi.
"I'll take you back to the abyss."
"Okay." I nodded.
"You Yuan is still fighting Liu Lieyu, you may not see him for a few days."
"Um."
Lan Qi turned her head and glanced at me, as if she had something to say.
"How did you end up being taken away by Liu Lieyu?"
I scratched my head. "Liu Lieyu knocked me unconscious as soon as he entered the room. When I woke up, he grabbed me and threw me into a deep pool."
"You're too weak," Lan Qi said softly. "You have a good foundation; if you were willing to cultivate properly, you wouldn't be any worse than them."
I felt a little guilty and didn't dare look at Lan Qi. If only I could focus on my cultivation...
But I feel that I have no natural affinity or talent for these things. I wonder if Nv Xin would regret it if she knew that she had found a lazy bum like me.
Lan Qi noticed my guilty conscience and couldn't help but advise, "You always need to have the ability to protect yourself."
I hung my head listlessly and said, "I understand."
Lan Qi looked at me but didn't say anything.
We walked for a long time before finally emerging from this dense forest, and we didn't see any pursuers along the way.
After leaving the dense forest, it felt like entering another world. When I looked back, I realized that there was no dense forest behind me, only a misty fog.
It was probably Liu Lieyu who did it; it really is a good place for Tibetans.
As I turned to look back, my wrist was suddenly grabbed by a pair of icy hands.
The next second, my surroundings changed. Instead of returning directly to my palace in the Abyss, I arrived at Sun and Moon City.
When we arrived, Lan Qi let go of my hand after a few seconds of hesitation.
"Thank you for bringing me back." I sincerely thanked Lan Qi. Without Lan Qi's help, I really don't know how much longer I would have stayed in that room.
Lan Qi looked at me without saying anything.
Since Lan Qi wasn't leaving, I felt awkward leaving first.
I waited for a long time, but Lan Qi was still standing in front of me, showing no sign of leaving.
"Um... I'm safe now, you can go back without worry."
Lan Qi gave me a deep look. "Do you feel safe?"
"We're safe now."
Lan Qi turned his head away and said in a calm tone, "I'll stay by your side and watch over you, so you don't get kidnapped by someone again."
I suddenly felt my face burning up, and I was a little embarrassed. How come I, as a master, always get caught?
"I'll leave once Youyuan returns."
"Oh." I nodded. It's better if Lan Qi comes along; it'll be safer that way.
But I'm facing a problem: Lan Qi is with me, so where should I take him?
Should we go back to the palace and lie down?
"Shall we go back to the palace first?" I asked Lan Qi tentatively.
Lan Qi didn't even lift his eyelids before saying, "You don't need to worry about me. Just be yourself."
I nodded and took Lan Qi back to the palace.
I am someone everyone knows. Lan Qi has also been to the Abyss. Although not many people have seen me, some people do recognize me.
I took Lan Qi back to my palace and sent someone to inquire about Man Jiao'er's recent situation.
"Has Manjiao'er returned?"
"You're back," the waiter added, "You've only been married a short time."
I nodded; I do remember the date of the marriage decreed by You.
I sighed. I had planned to attend Jiao'er's wedding, but I missed it again.
I took something out of my pocket and handed it to the waiter. “Take this to Manjiao’er and tell her it’s my wedding gift.”
"Okay." The waiter took the item from my hand and left.
Lan Qi watched quietly from behind me.
After the servants left, only Lan Qi and I were left in the palace. I felt a little awkward and wondered if I should call someone else.
Lan Qi remained aloof and unapproachable. He took a few steps and then sat down, closing his eyes as if he were in deep meditation.
Seeing that Lan Qi had closed his eyes, I kept propping my head up and watching him.
It must be said that Lan Qi is truly beautiful. Her temperament is even colder than You's, and her purplish lips and sea-blue hair give her a strange blend of holiness and eeriness.
As I was watching, Lan Qi suddenly opened his eyes, his phoenix eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at me with a leisurely air.
I was caught red-handed by Lan Qi while I was peeking, and I was instantly a little embarrassed. I could only laugh awkwardly twice and then look away from Lan Qi.
Am I pretty?
I was completely stunned. Lan Qi, with his reserved and brooding personality, would actually ask me this question!
"What kind of expression is that?" Lan Qi frowned slightly. "Am I ugly?"
"Not ugly."
If you're considered ugly, how are other people supposed to live?
Lan Qi's lips curled up slightly but quickly fell back down, as if the smile from just now had never existed.
Lan Qi closed his eyes again. This time I didn't dare to look at Lan Qi anymore. If I got caught again, I would be so embarrassed.
I could only pace back and forth in the room. I couldn't sleep at all; all I wanted was to see You as soon as possible.
"Madam Jun."
"What's wrong?"
"I have already given Lady Jun's congratulatory gift to Lady Yue."
Lady Yue? I didn't react quickly enough, and it took me a while to realize that she was talking about Man Jiao'er.
"How is my darling?"
"Yes." The waiter nodded. "Madam Yue said she would come to see you in a few days when she has some free time."
"good."
After the waiter finished speaking, he quietly withdrew.
Throughout our conversation, Lan Qi appeared to be asleep with her eyes closed.
I glanced at Lan Qi, then looked away and refused to look at him again.
I don't know when You will come back, so I paced around the room several times and couldn't stop.
"What are you spinning?" Lan Qi's cool voice reached my ears.
I paused, startled. "I'm worried about You..."
Lan Qi looked at me and said, "You Yuan is fine. With his abilities, he won't die."
I turned my head away without saying anything. I knew Youyuan wasn't dead, but I was still worried about whether he was injured.
Lan Qi noticed my worry and said, "There's no use in you worrying here."
"I know."
Lan Qi looked at me in silence for a moment, then asked, "Do you really like him that much?"
I nodded. "I like it."
Lan Qi lowered his eyes upon hearing this, his face expressionless.
But I always felt that the air in the main hall had gotten colder.
I shook my head. Is Lan Qi unhappy?
I shouldn't have flirted with so many people in the first place...
I silently despise my past self, who was in hell back then.
"You go to sleep first. You'll be back when you wake up."
"real?"
Lan Qi nodded. "Mm."
I know Lan Qi wouldn't lie to me, but I always feel a little awkward sleeping in front of him.
Lan Qi noticed my discomfort and deliberately turned towards the door, saying, "Go to sleep, I'll watch over you."
Since Lan Qi had said so, I had no choice but to move and lie down on the bed. What I saw was Lan Qi's back.
I watched for a while, then closed my eyes and forced myself to sleep.
But I slept too much during my imprisonment, and I can't fall asleep anytime soon.
