"Can you tell me about Nvxin?"
"Okay." You nodded, but I didn't know much about it either.
"When we first met, Nü Xin was still a newborn, completely ignorant, while I had been the Lord of Demons and Gods for many years. At that time, I was locked in a fierce battle with the Heavenly Court. Later, I sent Nü Xin into a mountain cave to cultivate with my younger brother, Donghuang. When we met again, I was already the Lord of the Heavenly Court, and Nü Xin had also made great progress in her studies. Nü Xin's cultivation speed was very fast. Then I was defeated by Donghuang and reincarnated as You Yuan. When we met again in my second life, Nü Xin was already the high and mighty Lord of the Heavenly Court, exuding an aura of indifference. I hadn't seen her many times, but I knew she was very strong. Later, for some reason, Nü Xin went to the mortal realm. After leaving her footprints in various places, she abandoned her body and became a mortal. When I met Nü Xin, she was already a mortal. Later, Nü Xin regained her memories and said that she wanted to cooperate with me to kill Liu Lieyu."
You suddenly added, "Nü Xin's cultivation speed is extremely fast, far beyond what Donghuang and I can compare to. Moreover, she is ruthless and heartless, and every step she takes is planned in advance. It can be said that she wins every step of the way."
"A big boss without emotions?"
"Yes, you could say that." You nodded gently.
"If Nv Xin discovers us, that would be interesting." I thought about it and felt a little excited, thinking about meeting the real female lead, the super boss.
Why are you getting excited?
I cupped my face and smiled foolishly. You tapped my head helplessly, "I'm telling you this not to excite you, but to make you stay away."
"Yeah, I know, just stay away." I kissed You's lips and comforted her.
Although I know this, some things can't be avoided.
The following days were peaceful for a few more days, but women in the city began to fall ill one after another, and rumors started to spread that a demon had appeared.
Since more than half of the women in the city had given birth, the emperor had to make a gesture and sent Huo Yao to the temple on Lingquan Mountain to pray for blessings.
Even if you searched every temple in the vicinity, you still couldn't do anything to Liu Lieyu.
Just then, a demon hunter arrived in the city.
The demon hunter, amidst the bustling city, made outlandish claims that there was a demon in the Chu Palace, and that these girls had contracted strange illnesses because the demon had drained their life essence.
Originally, the soldiers were supposed to capture him, but the exorcist's story became increasingly fantastical, and he was actually taken to the Chu Palace to investigate what had happened.
I don't know what happened after the demon hunter entered the Chu Palace. I only know that the demon hunter was beheaded in the bustling street at noon. Before he died, he kept muttering that it wasn't just one demon, but two! Two demons!
These words caused widespread panic in Ye City. No one dared to go out for a stroll at night anymore, and the once bustling city of Ye now resembled a ghost town.
I felt sorry for that demon hunter, but there was nothing I could do. All of this had happened before, and I couldn't interfere too much.
May the demon hunters of the next life be wiser.
The number of impeachments in the imperial court increased, with each memorial accusing Consort Wei of being a scoundrel who brought disaster to the country and its people.
But the current emperor is already infatuated with Consort Wei, so how could he listen to these people?
Meanwhile, the delegation from the Nanzhao Kingdom will be arriving soon.
This is the happiest thing I've heard in a long time. People from the Nanzhao Kingdom are finally coming, and we're finally going to get our hands on the Soul-Stealing Jade.
Upon hearing this, You left early for the First Prince's residence, leaving me alone at the inn.
"Master, Master." That familiar voice.
I got up, put on my clothes, and opened the door. "What's wrong?"
"The delegation from the Nanzhao Kingdom is about to arrive."
"I know." I've already heard about this; Youye went to the First Prince's residence a long time ago.
"Master, my brother and I will definitely get this Soul-Stealing Jade back for you."
"Thank you very much then." I patted Huo Qi on the shoulder gratefully; he had grown quite a bit taller in the few days I hadn't seen him.
He's so considerate of me; this apprentice is definitely worth teaching.
"Master, are you home alone?" Huo Qi peeked out.
"Yes, You went to your older brother's place."
"I see." Huo Qi suddenly thought of something. "Then, Master, I'll take you to have some fun."
"Go out to play? Where to play?"
People outside are in a state of panic right now, so there's nothing fun to do.
"Let me think..." Huo Qi actually started thinking right in front of my door.
Shouldn't you have thought it through before inviting me?
I felt somewhat helpless.
"Alright, Huo Qi, go back now. Things aren't very peaceful outside lately. Be careful you don't catch that strange illness too."
"I wouldn't do that." Huo Qi stood tall, looking fearless.
"Alright, alright, you're not afraid, but your master is, okay? You know, the woman is sick right now."
“Oh right.” Huo Qi suddenly thought of something. “Then I can’t leave, Master. I have to stay here and protect you so that you won’t be harmed.”
"Master, you don't need to protect me."
"No, inns are inherently chaotic and unsafe. How can I feel at ease leaving Master here alone?" Huo Qi looked determined and had his subordinate bring him a small stool, which he then sat down in front of my door.
Although Huo Qi's actions occupied public facilities, who dares to say anything to him?
Who would dare? This is the second prince of the Chu Kingdom.
"Why can't you just stay here forever?" I shook my head helplessly.
"It's alright, I'm waiting for Youyuan to come back." Huo Qi suddenly spoke up, seemingly in no hurry. "By the way, Master."
"What is it?"
“When Youyuan returns, why don’t you stay at my Second Prince’s residence? I’m really worried about you staying at the inn, Master. As you know, most of the girls in Ye City are sick these days, and even the surrounding towns have been affected by this strange disease.”
Huo Qi spoke with such earnestness that I couldn't bear to refuse.
"When Youyuan returns, may I discuss this with him?"
"Okay." Huo Qi jumped up happily, and then quickly instructed the servants, "Go back to the manor quickly and prepare the best courtyard for my master and the others. Go now."
"Yes." The servant hurriedly ran back.
I looked at Huo Qi with amusement and exclaimed, "It was definitely worth having such a disciple."
"Right?" Huo Qi smiled ingratiatingly at me. "If Master stays a little longer, I will definitely take good care of him."
This guy is still thinking of keeping me here.
Huo Qi and I were having a pleasant conversation when You returned. You glanced at Huo Qi indifferently.
Since Huo Qi spoke ill of You last time, You has never held a grudge against Huo Qi again.
That makes me very happy.
“You.” I tugged at You’s sleeve.
You could tell from my expression that I needed his help again.
"What's wrong?"
"I want to discuss something with you?" I said sweetly, pulling on You's arm.
