"Don't go! I want to know what just happened!"
Tu Shan Lingxi forced herself to speak. She wasn't the kind of foxy woman who knew how to coax people, especially now; it seemed like she'd made the man cry.
I'm not sure, I'll think about it some more.
Well, Yin Changling's eyes were indeed moist. The red mole under the corner of the man's eye seemed to become even more vivid under the tears, contrasting with his skin tone, creating a unique charm.
Why are you crying?
The little fox asked with concern. It was the first time she had ever seen a man cry, especially the legendary cruel and tyrannical ruler, Yin Changling.
This is simply illogical!
Tu Shan Lingxi was speechless. Why did she provoke him? He's a tyrant who'd eat fox meat at any moment!
Now, I need to hide my disguise even better, and I absolutely cannot let him find out, otherwise, I'll be the one who gets served up.
Just as Tu Shan Lingxi was lost in thought, she heard a noise beside her and turned her head to look.
Yin Changling's long eyelashes, wet with tears, trembled slightly. He lowered his eyes, making it impossible to see the expression in them.
After a long while, the man hesitated before speaking. His deep voice rang in Tu Shan Lingxi's ears, seemingly carrying some inexplicable meaning.
"Xi'er, do you really want to know the reason?"
Tu Shan Lingxi was taken aback. Something sounded strange. Could it be that she was the one who caused him to cry, and she felt like she had to take responsibility for it?
This time, the little fox had learned her lesson. She wasn't going to carry any strange burdens, so she tentatively asked...
"Could it be related to me?"
Yin Changling avoided answering the question. He raised his eyes and stared intently at the woman in front of him. His eyes were as black as ink and looked unfathomable.
“Is Xi’er hiding something from me? Xi’er was a completely different person just now. Her temperament, demeanor, eyes, tone of voice... everything was different.”
Yin Changling stared intently at the woman, not wanting to miss any of her reactions. He wanted to know the reason behind it all, rather than remaining a fool.
Unfortunately, Tu Shan Lingxi herself didn't know about this, so how could she give him the answer he wanted?
"Oh no, how is that possible?"
It's obviously fake. The little fox is a powerful demon herself, capable of distinguishing between demons and monsters. How could she not know if she was possessed by a ghost?
Moreover, the Imperial Advisor had told her that she was the last demon in the world, and that all other demons had long since become extinct, so the little fox was even more certain of her thoughts.
However, since Yin Changling said that, he must have ulterior motives. What are they?
He won't...
Suddenly, Tu Shan Lingxi seemed to remember something and became very nervous, her expressions and movements becoming unnatural.
The little fox thought of something else: could it be that the other party had discovered her identity and was lying to her?
This explains everything. Why did Yin Changling react so strangely? A dignified emperor actually shed tears.
Wait, those tears... couldn't be from being scared by his identity as a great demon!
Thinking of this, Tu Shan Lingxi glanced warily at Yin Changling, but fearing she might say something wrong, she simply shut her mouth and stared at him.
She was afraid that her guess was true, and if that were the case, she would have to be even more careful, very careful, and extremely careful.
Yin Changling didn't hear anything useful and was being stared at so warily by Tu Shanlingxi, which made him laugh in exasperation.
"Would I lie to you? Everyone saw it. You're really something, Xi'er!"
Yin Changling felt as if his sincere feelings had been wasted. He spoke in a sinister voice, gritting his teeth, which startled Tu Shanlingxi.
She was already on edge, and his sudden fright made her shudder, almost turning her back into her normal self.
Calm down, calm down, Tu Shan Lingxi tried her best to persuade herself, barely maintaining her composure and thinking hard.
If the man knew his identity, would he still be so calm? Wouldn't he have simply let him remain unconscious and then killed him?
But if he didn't know, why would he make up a lie to deceive himself?
What's going on? Forgive the little fox for not being able to process this; did she really guess wrong?
Tu Shan Lingxi was still feeling guilty. Being stared at like that by the man, she didn't dare to move at all. Her limbs were stiff as if they had just grown out.
Yin Changling couldn't quite describe his feelings. He didn't know that he was so terrifying in Xi'er's heart, always making her wary of him.
It seems that no matter how hard he tries or what he does, he can't win Xi'er's heart.
What a failure...
Yin Changling suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion and a bad feeling in his heart. He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
He thought he needed to slow down, otherwise staying any longer would only drive him crazy with anger at this little girl.
"Since you're frightened, you should rest well today. I'll have someone stay with you. If you need anything, just tell me."
After finishing his sentence, Yin Changling left. This time, he didn't linger and walked very quickly, disappearing from sight in no time.
...
Wow...that's way too fast!
Tu Shan Lingxi hadn't even realized that she had escaped a calamity and was alright.
She breathed a long sigh of relief. It seemed that she had been suspicious before; Yin Changling did not know her identity.
As Tu Shan Lingxi thought this, she became happy again, because she didn't have to rush to escape and could stay in the palace!
Hahaha, I'm such a clever little fox!
Just as Tu Shan Lingxi was feeling quite pleased with herself, a strange but rather calm female voice rang out.
"Miss Lingxi, this servant Suqi greets you."
"Su Qi?"
Tu Shan Lingxi and Su Qi, who had been instructed to take care of her, looked at each other, speechless for a moment.
In the end, Su Qi realized the woman's identity and, not wanting to be disrespectful, bowed to her.
"Miss Lingxi, His Majesty has instructed me to serve you. Would you like to have your breakfast?"
Tu Shan Lingxi hadn't even realized what was happening when Xie Changling just abandoned her like that?
This is too... too... well, it's nothing.
The little fox was relieved. Without Yin Changling watching her, she could be more at ease and no longer had to worry about him discovering her demon identity.
"Okay, let's serve breakfast."
Tu Shan Lingxi was completely relieved of her burden. She even ate while thinking about whether Yin Yi was dead or not. If he was, she would have to find time to kill him again!
Anyway, there are still two weeks left, so just have as much fun as you can.
As for Yi Changfeng, who was still desperately searching for her, the little fox had long forgotten about him!
