"Xi'er, Xi'er?"
Yin Changling stepped forward to check on her. She was still breathing and alive, and he silently breathed a sigh of relief.
He hesitated for a moment. Although he didn't know if the wandering ghost had left, he still couldn't bear to let anyone touch his Xi'er, so he chose to take her away himself.
Tu Shan Lingxi was slender and her small, soft body looked especially petite nestled in Yin Changling's arms.
After Yin Changling picked the person up, Su Ba leaned forward, lowered his head, and asked in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, the young master's body..."
Su Ba has just investigated and found that Yin Yi is absolutely dead, completely and utterly dead.
He didn't dare to look around. No one expected that this petite Lingxi could strangle a man to death.
This Lingxi girl's strength is simply too great, it's unbelievable and defies common sense!
Su Ba was deeply shocked. He no longer dared to look directly at Ling Xi, after all, what he had just witnessed was so horrifying.
Yin Changling gave simple instructions, his mind preoccupied only with the little woman in his arms, leaving no time to care about anything else.
He was terrified. He was certain that Xi'er's body was possessed by a wandering ghost. He didn't know if the ghost had left or if it would harm Xi'er.
Yin Changling was extremely anxious. After giving his instructions, he had no time to think about anything else and prepared to leave.
“Throw him to the Marquis of the North and let him figure out what he should do.”
"yes."
Su Ba obediently replied, "Yes." Looking at his emperor's expression, he knew perfectly well that his emperor held Lingxi in the deepest part of his heart.
However, His Majesty cannot be blamed for this. Miss Lingxi is a rare and exceptional person.
Now that Miss Lingxi has fainted, it's no wonder His Majesty is so anxious. It's best if he doesn't disturb her.
Thinking this, Su Ba did not follow, but instead directed people to take Yin Yi's body away to the residence of the Marquis of Bei.
...
Yin Changling left with Tu Shan Lingxi without looking back, and he didn't care at all about where Yin Yi's body went.
Yin Changling even thought that since he had kindly reunited the father and son, the Marquis of Bei should be thanking him.
He wasn't worried about the Marquis of Bei at all. After all, he and his son were already trapped like turtles in a jar, unable to cause any trouble on their own territory.
Yin Changling was only worried about his Xi'er the whole way, wondering if that wandering ghost had stolen her soul, causing her to remain unconscious for so long.
Therefore, the man walked exceptionally fast and steadily, as if afraid of causing the person in his arms to be jolted.
After placing her on the bed, he stayed by Tu Shan Lingxi's side all night, not wanting to leave her side for even a moment.
If it weren't for the fact that Xi'er is currently inseparable from someone, he would have gone to the Imperial Preceptor's residence to ask the Imperial Preceptor for help. Such demons and monsters should be dealt with by the Imperial Preceptor.
Yin Changling was unaware that it was fortunate he hadn't invited the Imperial Preceptor; otherwise, how could he and Tu Shan Lingxi have a future together?
He would never know that the man he had always deeply feared and envied was none other than the Grand Preceptor, whom he respected most!
When he found out, he was both angry and happy, but he was also grateful to himself for not being cunning and falling into the lion's den.
...
The next morning.
The woman on the bed seemed to stir, waking Yin Changling, who had been keeping watch by her bedside.
He barely slept a wink all night, and only when dawn was breaking did he finally manage to drift off to sleep.
Upon hearing the movement of the person on the bed, Yin Changling opened his eyes almost immediately.
His voice was very soft and low, as if he was afraid of disturbing the person on the bed, or as if he was afraid that the person who woke up was not the one he wanted, and that he would alert the enemy.
"Xi'er..."
Yin Changling sat on a small stool made of golden nanmu wood, one hand supporting his head, his long black hair hanging down slightly, and thus he guarded Tu Shan Lingxi all night.
He stared intently at the woman, afraid of missing even the slightest movement from her. He was terrified that it wasn't Xi'er who had returned.
The woman's feathery eyelashes trembled slightly, like the wings of a butterfly about to take flight. The next second, she opened her eyes, which shone brightly, as if a radiant light was spreading out.
"Hmm~"
Tu Shan Lingxi let out a soft moan, her voice sweet and gentle. She had just woken up and hadn't yet realized what was going on.
She looked around, feeling a sense of unfamiliarity mixed with familiarity, but she couldn't tell where she was.
Tu Shan Lingxi was still a little confused. She remembered that she seemed to be in a dungeon, just about to show off her skills. How did she end up on a bed in the blink of an eye?
She turned her head and immediately saw Yin Changling looking at her. Her eyes widened slightly, and she called out his name in a soft, sweet voice.
"Changling?"
"Xi'er!"
This time, Yin Changling did not hesitate and directly grasped the woman's wrist. He was excited, and his lips were trembling.
"Xi'er, do you remember what just happened?"
Yin Changling held Tu Shan Lingxi's fair wrist tightly. He recognized her almost instantly; she was his Xi'er!
Overwhelmed with emotion, his hand trembled slightly as he held the woman's, his voice quivered, and his eyes reddened, as if he feared he had mistaken her for someone else.
Tu Shan Lingxi blinked her clear, big eyes. Although she didn't understand why Yin Changling asked that question, she still answered because he was so excited.
"I remember I was just in the dungeon, how did I end up on the bed in the blink of an eye!"
The little fox was very confused. She really didn't know what had just happened. It felt like the world had changed when she woke up.
Tu Shan Lingxi struggled to get up, but she could not escape the man's restraint.
She couldn't understand the feeling of a man being afraid of losing her, so she wanted Yin Changling to let go.
"Yin Changling—"
"Xi'er..."
Yin Changling finally couldn't hold back any longer. He cupped the girl's face and kissed her fiercely. The passionate kiss made Tu Shan Lingxi's eyes widen instantly.
She originally wanted to push the man away, but Yin Changling took the initiative to let go of Tu Shanlingxi, because the wet and salty kiss left both of them a little stunned.
!
When Yin Changling realized that he couldn't help but shed tears, he immediately stood up, wanting to flee in panic.
He offered a rather lame excuse, his eyes still slightly red, feeling rather embarrassed. His gaze was somewhat evasive, and he dared not linger there any longer.
"I... I just remembered that I still have some official business to attend to, so I'll head back now."
"Don't go, Yin Changling, what you just did..."
Tu Shan Lingxi grabbed his hand and pulled him back. She didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere became awkward for a moment...
