"Luo, what brings you here?" I asked Luo, surprised.
When I saw Luo again this time, I felt less close to him and more wary.
I remember Luo and Yinhua discussing something; perhaps Luo was also a pawn left behind by the original owner.
Seeing that it was just a piece of jade, he sneered, "I thought it was something important, but it's just a piece of jade. There are countless pieces of jade of better quality in my Chu Kingdom."
"That's right. It seems that the Nanzhao Kingdom is indeed a barbarian land, very poor. They are willing to rush over to send such a piece of jade."
The eldest prince glanced at the jade in the hands of the Nanzhao king, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes, but he still remembered his promise to You. "Father, I see a piece of jade that I really like. May I have it?"
The Emperor glanced at the box, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, then waved his hand and said, "It's a reward for you."
You and I were overjoyed; we really got it!
This past year wasn't wasted after all.
"Thank you for the reward, Father Emperor."
"Your Majesty~" Yinhua, who was leaning against You's chest, suddenly spoke.
"My beauty, what's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, someone wants that piece of jade."
I was so angry I almost vomited blood. What on earth is going on with this silver flower?
"Master, why are you looking at me and smiling?"
"Huo Qi, you've learned enough now, and your master has nothing more to teach you. Keep up the good work in the future."
Huo Qi slammed the book down on the table, his eyes red as he looked at me. "Master, are you abandoning your disciple?"
I shook my head. "No, it's just that all good things must come to an end, and I will have to leave eventually."
"No, I don't want Master to leave." Huo Qi's eyes reddened, and tears, mostly like beans, fell to the ground.
"Master." As he spoke, Huo Qi tried to snuggle into my arms.
"Extremely beautiful?" Liu Lieyu scoffed, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, but he said it nicely, "Can she be as beautiful as you, Yan'er?"
He really is a scumbag.
"Yan'er definitely can't compare."
After asking a few more questions about me, Liu Lieyu released Yan'er and told him to tidy his clothes and leave quickly so that no one would find out.
"Okay." Yan'er blushed and looked at Liu Lieyu shyly, then watched him leave with reluctance.
Yan'er's steps were unsteady as she left. Although nothing could be seen yet, Liu Lieyu had absorbed most of the vital energy in her body. She was no longer like the other women lying in bed because Liu Lieyu had injected demonic energy into her body. It seemed that Yan'er was still useful to Liu Lieyu and his group.
After I watched Yan'er leave, Liu Lieyu sat cross-legged on the ground and combined the essence he had collected over the past few days.
Liu Lieyu must have done so much; with that much energy, there must have been at least several hundred people.
406
"But, Master, I can't bear to part with you..." Huo Qi still had red eyes and was shedding tears in front of me.
I didn't know how to comfort this young boy.
I was just struggling with this when the door opened and a dark-faced man walked in.
I breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, I had just helped Huo Qi up. If You had seen Huo Qi crying in my arms, she would have been furious.
With a dark expression, he didn't even look at Huo Qi, but grabbed my arm and tried to take me away.
Huo Qi suddenly blocked You's path, "Stop right there! You are not worthy of your master at all."
You laughed angrily, "Do you think you can do it?"
My goodness, is Huo Qi so grief-stricken that he's lost his mind? Why is he talking nonsense?
Huo Qi did not answer the question, "You are poor and fierce, and you are not gentle with your master either. Every time I see you, you have a dark face."
I lowered my head, thinking to myself, "That's because You must have had a dark expression when she saw you. As for saying You're poor... emmm... this is probably the first time You's been accused of being poor."
Huo Qi continued his accusations, "You are utterly useless. You know nothing but medicine. You make my master live with you in a dilapidated inn all day long. Do you think you are worthy of my master? How can you do this to my master? My master is so beautiful, how can he suffer like this?"
Is that inn really that dilapidated? It looks alright to me, although it's far inferior to the Prince's residence.
I snapped out of my daze and easily broke free from Liu Lieyu's grasp. Then I used invisibility magic, and Liu Lieyu watched me disappear in front of him, looking completely dazed.
What exactly is going on?
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.
This transformation was definitely not that simple. By the way, the change of flesh and blood turned the entire pool of water red.
But someone like Liu Lieyu, with the Holy Spring in hand, has already reached the ceiling in terms of martial prowess, except that he is no match for the Four Venerables. He needs his own flesh and blood.
I frowned, thinking that perhaps it was necessary. The four had warned us before they left, and I didn't think Liu Lieyu was someone who would listen to reason.
I was lost in thought when Liu Lieyu pushed open the door and entered.
I couldn't speak, but Liu Lieyu's voice was still alluring, "Awake?"
I glanced at Liu Lieyu with a complicated expression, then quickly lowered my head. Despite the pain, Liu Lieyu never uttered a sound.
"Sore throat?" Liu Lieyu knelt down beside my bed, a smirk on his lips, his handsome eyebrows furrowing. "It'll hurt, I won't hear a single thing you want to hear even if I get better."
"Jiao'er." After finishing cooking, I stood at the door and called to Jiao'er, who was standing in the yard, "Jiao'er, dinner is ready."
"I won't eat." Jiao'er shook her head, still gazing at the starry sky with rapt attention.
I shook my head helplessly, took a few steps forward and pulled Jiao'er along, "How can you not eat? This was specially made for you by You."
"You did this for me?" Jiao'er tilted her head and looked at me, her eyes full of distrust.
"Yes." I nodded, lying without blushing. "Jiao'er." After finishing cooking, I stood at the door and called to Jiao'er, who was standing in the yard, "Jiao'er, dinner's ready."
"I won't eat." Jiao'er shook her head, still gazing at the starry sky with rapt attention.
Yes, for you
