Soon, Lin Xue followed the Night Emperor to the Imperial Garden. Indeed, many exotic flowers and plants had been transplanted into the Imperial Garden, and many new buildings had been constructed.
In Lin Xue's memory, the pavilion above the pond was not there before, and there were some tall trees that seemed to have been newly transplanted, and even the soil where the trees were planted had been freshly turned.
"Xue'er's information network is really impressive. I've only been away for a few days, and I didn't expect there to be so many changes here!"
The Night Emperor strolled into the Imperial Garden, looking at the transformed scene with a pleasant expression.
Although the Imperial Garden was beautiful before, it is even more beautiful now with all these additions!
Who doesn't want their home to be beautiful?
Looking at this scenery, and with his beloved youngest daughter by his side, one can imagine how the Night Emperor felt.
What others couldn't see was that the dark figure had almost completely merged into the Night Emperor's body, with only its head still sticking out.
Unfortunately, no one except Lin Xue witnessed this horrifying scene.
"Father, there's a pavilion over there, let's go take a look!"
Lin Xue felt a little panicked. If it weren't for the new finger provided by the system, she might have already retreated.
Fortunately, apart from that one glance, these shadowy figures in the abyss did not pay any more attention to her.
The group slowly walked into the pavilion, where quick-witted maids and eunuchs had already gone over and wiped the tables, chairs, and benches clean again.
When they finally entered, the room had been polished to a shine.
"Father, if you sit here, you can see the blooming flowers across the way."
Lin Xue helped Ye Huang sit on one side, while she ran to the opposite side, where she could see the direction of the door.
The two chatted about everyday matters, and time passed little by little. Lin Xue watched as the shadow of the abyss completely merged into the Night Emperor's body.
Just as the last bit of shadow merged into the Night Emperor's head, Lin Xue noticed that the Night Emperor's demeanor had suddenly undergone a huge change.
He had been chatting with her in a friendly manner, but the moment the fusion was complete, the Night Emperor's eyes suddenly darkened. Although he didn't do anything terrible, it still made Lin Xue's heart skip a beat.
"Xiaoxue, let's stop here for today. Things aren't very peaceful outside lately, so try not to wander around too much. Stay in the Princess's residence and don't run around!"
Although the Night Emperor's face was so gloomy it could drip water, he was still trying his best to imitate the Night Emperor's voice so that Lin Xue would leave as soon as possible.
"Alright then, Father, please take care of your health and don't get angry with the ministers all the time!"
Lin Xue, who had witnessed everything, knew perfectly well that the person she was talking to now was not the Night Emperor who doted on his daughter to the core, but the Shadow of the Abyss.
Lin Xue didn't know why these shadowy figures in the abyss wanted to seize the Night Emperor's body, but there must be some unknown secret behind it.
"Don't worry, I know!"
The Night Emperor gave a perfunctory reply, then waved his hand, indicating that Lin Xue could leave.
Lin Xue had no reason to stay there any longer, so she got up and walked out of the Imperial Garden.
The shadowy figures in the abyss beside her all turned their gazes toward her.
However, after watching the person walk away, they calmly withdrew their gaze, as if they didn't care at all about Lin Xue's departure or stay.
"System, monitor them closely and see what they're doing."
Although the cheat system prevents the shadowy figures from paying attention to her, she will still be discovered if she dares to stay here any longer.
Therefore, Lin Xue had no choice but to return to the Princess's residence.
She left, but she left 629 to keep a close eye on the situation in the palace.
"Host, I will now give you a report on the movements of those shadowy figures in the abyss!"
After 629 finished speaking, he began to tell Lin Xue what the Night Emperor and the Shadows of the Abyss had done after they left.
After Lin Xue left the palace, the Night Emperor got up and left the Imperial Garden to go to his private treasury.
A large group of Abyss Shadows followed behind him, and even the palace eunuchs and guards did not accompany him.
Although everyone else in the palace continued to do their own thing as usual, the Night Emperor's obvious solo action went unnoticed by anyone.
After arriving at the private treasury, the Night Emperor and his entourage opened the treasury door and went straight inside.
They arrived at the entrance to the secret room that Lin Xue had entered last time with practiced ease.
The Night Emperor personally opened the door to the secret chamber and took out the box inside.
One of the Abyss Shadows walked over and took the box. Then the group took a few steps to the side and opened another secret room.
When they arrived, Lin Xue and the others learned that the two of them had not found all the secret rooms last time, so they only took one nine-tailed fox tail.
Meanwhile, Ye Huang took out another box from next door. What was inside? Lin Xue didn't know, as the other party hadn't opened it.
Fortunately, the other party didn't open it to inspect it; otherwise, since only Lin Xue had entered the Night Emperor's private treasury, and the contents had been switched, they would surely have noticed the anomaly and found her.
If that's the case, Lin Xue will have to have 629 teleport her away immediately.
Frankly, Lin Xue had no confidence that she could defeat a group of Abyss Shadows.
"Host, Abyss Shadow has left with Night Emperor."
629 was reporting the situation there at all times, so Lin Xue received the news immediately when Abyss Shadow and Night Emperor left Dark Star.
Do you know where they went?
Lin Xue quickly asked.
"Now that we know who the host is, should we follow them?"
Because Abyss Shadow did not use a remote teleportation array, 629 was still able to track it.
"Keep up!"
Lin Xue has almost completed her mission here. Now that Lin Xiaoyun's side has started the war, whether she continues to stay in the princess's residence is no longer important.
After all, Lin Xue's mission was already complete when Lin Xiaoyun and the others found the location where the abyss monster was imprisoned.
The two traveled along the way, stopping frequently, mostly using brief teleportations or teleportations.
After leaving Dark Star, they quickly arrived at the nearest planet, where the group of Abyssal Shadows carried the Night Emperor's body into the planet's palace.
Using the same method, they took over the body of the palace master and then took out two boxes from his private treasury.
"Could these guys have sidelined the rulers of the nearby planets?"
Lin Xue followed them all the way and guessed some of the reasons behind their puzzling behavior.
It seems that the rulers of these planets, like the Night Emperor, have been completely drained by their opponent.
The empty shells left in place can be occupied and used by them at any time.
The contents of that box are likely related to breaking the seal.
