"stop."
A deep, reprimanding voice rang out.
Jun Feiran pulled on the reins, and the red-haired beast horse let out a neigh.
The crowd quickly made way, and Jun Feiran rode his horse slowly towards them.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Ghost King."
Below, a crowd of people knelt on the ground.
Ghost King!
Mo Zhong was startled, but quickly regained his composure. He knelt on one knee and bowed, saying, "Your subject Mo Zhong greets Your Highness the Ghost King."
"Your Highness, Ghost King." Song Cheng knelt down, the movement aggravating his wounds, and the intense pain made him gasp.
Wang Hu was the first to kneel down. Faced with the powerful aura of the Ghost King, he kept his head down and dared not raise it. But gradually... something seemed wrong?
Wang Hu cautiously raised his head, only to see Jun Liuyue standing motionless beside him, her back ramrod straight.
Wang Hu: ?
What is this brat up to?! He and this brat are definitely not on the same side.
But everyone just assumed they were in cahoots.
Wang Hu reached out and tugged at Liu Yue's trouser leg.
The latter remained unmoved, leaving Wang Hu completely stunned. He lowered his voice and said, "You brat, if you're going to go into the fire, don't drag me down with you! I still have a wife to support!"
"How dare you! You don't even kneel before His Highness the Ghost King!" a guard behind Mo Chong shouted.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Countless gazes fell upon Jun Liuyue.
Wang Hu: ...
That's it, there's no hope.
Song Cheng: "Your Highness, it was this young master who saved my life!"
Song Cheng hurriedly replied, fearing that if he spoke too late, His Highness would blame him.
Jun Feiran sat on the demonic beast horse, looking down at Jun Liuyue.
The boy was unremarkable, with ordinary features, the kind you'd easily blend into a crowd and not notice at first glance, but his eyes were...
It's so incongruous with that ordinary face! It's as if such beautiful eyes shouldn't be on that face.
Most importantly, Jun Feiran felt a sense of familiarity about Jun Liuyue.
Especially those eyes...
Jun Feiran frowned: "Why don't you kneel before me?"
Jun Feiran's voice was deep and gave people a sense of authority without anger.
If an ordinary person heard Jun Feiran's words, which were difficult to discern as joy or anger, they would surely be so frightened that their knees would go weak and they would kneel down, unable to get up.
But the boy remained calm.
"I will only kneel to my master in this lifetime, and I will never kneel to anyone else," Liu Yue said loudly.
These words caused an uproar among the crowd.
How arrogant and presumptuous!
Did he even know the identity of the person opposite him?
He's someone who could be reduced to ashes with a flick of a finger!
Arrogant! Absolutely outrageous!
Even Song Cheng was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. He had expected Jun Liuyue to be bold, but he hadn't imagined she was this bold...
He racked his brains for countless excuses for her, but based on his understanding of the Ghost King, none of these excuses could quell the Ghost King's anger.
Song Cheng couldn't think of any reason why the Ghost King wouldn't take his anger out on Jun Liuyue.
Stop being so dense, think faster!
Mo Zhong sneered inwardly, "He's digging his own grave!"
How dare they be so arrogant in front of His Highness the Ghost King?
Everyone knows that His Highness the Ghost King has a rather bad temper.
His arrogance is like pulling the tiger's hair out of its head.
Mo Zhong could almost see the scene of this brat being dragged away by the Ghost King and executed by slow slicing.
Jun Feiran: "Hahaha, you are the first person who dares to speak to me like this. Give me a reason not to kill you, otherwise you will surely die today."
As the Ghost King, he would not allow anyone to challenge his authority, especially not someone as insignificant as an unknown brat.
Jun Feiran stared intently at Jun Liuyue, as if trying to bore a hole through her face.
Song Cheng: "Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
He knelt down with a thud, lowering his voice; "Young Master!"
If Jun Liuyue apologizes to the Ghost King at this time...
With her medical skills, His Highness the Ghost King will surely take pity on her and spare her life.
But Jun Liuyue seemed not to hear, and looked up at Jun Feiran, her silver hair particularly eye-catching.
The moment Liu Yue saw Jun Feiran, a blurry image appeared in her mind.
That was her mother from her memories; she had only seen her mother before she was three years old.
After that, in order to send her away from the sealed land and prevent her from being affected by hatred, the clan chief sealed off a part of her memories, including her memories of her mother.
But the moment Liu Yue saw Jun Feiran, a series of familiar yet unfamiliar images flashed through her mind like lightning.
She couldn't even remember what kind of person her mother, the Ghost Clan Princess, was, but the hazy image in her mind bore a resemblance to Jun Feiran in front of her.
Jun Liuyue's voice was clear and resonant: "If I remember correctly, His Highness the Ghost King has a daughter who is suffering from miasma and can only be kept alive by life-extending pills! It has been three years. What if I said I could save the little princess?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Feiran tightened his grip on the reins.
He does have a daughter who was poisoned by malaria when she ventured into the South Island three years ago.
For the past three years, it was Elder Yun who kept her alive with life-extending pills, but Jun Feiran knew that her daughter's vital signs were getting weaker and weaker.
Elder Yun left the capital this time to find medicinal herbs that could save the young princess! But those herbs could only keep the young princess lying there like a living dead.
