"Dude? It can't be that bad, can it?"
Luo Jiu looked at the black eagle with a deathly pale face, but received an extremely silent look from it.
"Don't run around."
The giant eagle was extremely loyal to the man in black; the few words it uttered were all repeating the man's meaning.
Luo Jiu lay helplessly in the cage like a cripple, watching the white clouds drift by below, lost in deep thought.
Has her luck in this world completely run out? Otherwise, why would she, as a little rabbit, always be so favored?
What kind of people does it attract?!
When Luo Jiu was placed on the ground again, she had a feeling of unreality.
Her face was numb, her long ears drooped down, and the whole rabbit looked somewhat listless.
Sitting at his desk, Yan Ze saw the pitiful little rabbit locked in a cage, and a fleeting look of surprise crossed his face.
Then, he let out a faint laugh.
The slightly low laughter echoed in the empty hall, but to Luo Jiu it sounded so grating and irritating.
"Yu, bring her here."
Hearing its master's call, the black eagle, which had always given Luo Jiu a cold shoulder, seemed somewhat excited.
It let out a bright cry, turned into a blur, and tossed Luo Jiu onto Yan Ze's desk.
A warm, large hand gently kneaded Luo Jiu's body and behind her ears through the golden birdcage. Yan Ze was very fond of Luo Jiu's fluffy texture.
"Yu, I didn't tell you to lock her up."
A hint of confusion flashed in the black eagle's eyes. Since it belonged to him, wasn't it perfectly normal to keep her locked up and prevent her from escaping?
Despite having been with this man for many years, I still can't truly understand his behavior most of the time.
"It's alright, let's go out and have some fun."
As the black eagle flew out of the door, only a person and a rabbit remained in the enormous palace.
Luo Jiu curled up in a ball, her blood-red eyes wide open, cautiously scrutinizing the man in front of her.
Black hair, black eyes—almost everything about him, except for his skin and hair, was black. But that didn't detract from his handsomeness.
Most people in the cultivation world are very good-looking, and a few are exceptionally handsome.
But the man in front of me...
Luo Jiu didn't know how to describe it.
Her long, dark hair covered most of her face, but you could still see her thin lips that seemed to be smiling and her long, narrow, almond-shaped eyes.
Although he exudes a dashing and charming air, his demeanor and movements are full of integrity and character—a wonderful fusion.
This man gave Luo Jiu a very strange feeling, as if they had met before.
"Have you seen enough, little one?"
Luo Jiu lowered her eyes somewhat guiltily. The little dumpling, having put away its fierce gaze, looked even easier to bully.
Yan Ze untied the cage and placed Luo Jiu in his palm.
A white ball of light suddenly appeared in his hand and slowly touched Luo Jiu's body.
Next, Luo Jiu felt a warm current flowing into her body, so comfortable that she couldn't help but let out a soft moan.
A moment later, while Luo Jiu was still immersed in this wonderful experience, she felt her ear being poked.
"Um?"
"You silly rabbit, if you've gained sentience, why can't you speak?"
Luo Jiu stared at him with wide eyes, as if she were looking at a big bad wolf that was about to devour her.
So you touched me for so long just to see if I could talk?
Luo Jiu ran several meters away in an instant.
Yan Ze reached out, only to find that he had only touched thin air.
He looked at her with amusement, a seductive smile curving his lips.
"You rabbit... never mind, never mind..."
He then ignored Luo Jiu's reaction and simply propped his head up, staring at the text that Luo Jiu couldn't understand.
"squeak?"
Seeing that the man had no reaction, Luo Jiu shook her long ears and ran outside without looking back.
Yan Ze looked at the white figure outside the door that was almost blending into the snow, smiled forlornly, but a complex expression flashed in his eyes.
As expected, she's still not popular...
From the time Yan Ze could remember, he had always been someone who disliked animals, yet he had an inexplicable fondness for them.
It lived year-round on Qingyun Peak, surrounded by pure white snow. Apart from that black eagle, there was not a single living creature.
So much time has passed that he's almost forgotten about it.
Luo Jiu, who had run to the edge of the cliff, quickly picked the spiritual herb. She hid behind a rock, and before eating it, she made sure to look around carefully, just in case someone like Yan Ze appeared again, as it would be impossible to guard against.
A refreshing warmth flowed into Luo Jiu's body, exuding the faint sweetness of grass and the simplicity of plant spirits. Unlike Yan Ze's pure warmth, it was like a flame that directly warmed her entire body.
Why am I thinking about that man in black again?!
Luo Jiu was somewhat annoyed, even her ears drooped down, as if she were reflecting on herself.
After all this commotion, the sun had already set. Standing atop the peak, one could feel the last rays of sunlight casting a beautiful and magnificent glow.
Luo Jiu lingered outside the palace, but finally couldn't resist sneaking in through the crack in the door.
When I left, that person looked very sad, so I'll go back and take a look, just one look.
The palace was built in a place where the sun couldn't reach, so the whole place was dark and a bit cold. There was no trace of life in it.
Following her memory, Luo Jiu saw Yan Ze sleeping on the couch.
Even in her sleep, the beauty remained. She had lost some of her aggression; her eyes were tightly closed, and she no longer possessed the unapproachable demeanor she had when Luo Jiu first met her.
She moved to the bed, intending to tease this self-righteous person, but before she could carry out her plan, a pair of hands reached out from behind and hugged Luo Jiu's small rabbit body tightly.
"Stop fooling around."
Luo Jiu: "??"
At such close range, Luo Jiu finally sensed something was amiss.
The man slept very uncomfortablely, his brows furrowed, but he tried his best to restrain himself, even in his sleep he had to show an extremely calm expression.
"squeak?"
She shuddered and was immediately drawn in by the smell of blood.
It came from the man's body.
Hearing him groan, Luo Jiu realized that she seemed to have done something terrible.
She opened her big, round eyes and kept looking around. She just dared not shake herself violently anymore.
Finally, he noticed a clump of blood-stained hair on his chest, and his attention was drawn to his chest.
The man always wore a long black robe, and black happens to be the most difficult color to get stained.
If it weren't for the red stains on his chest hair, Luo Jiu wouldn't have known he was injured.
She looked at the man in front of her with mixed feelings. She had once read a passage that said:
I don't like black, but I don't want you to see me bleeding, because it will break my heart.
So, does he wear black clothes because he doesn't want people to worry about him?
So even in your sleep, you have to suppress your pain and not let a single emotion show.
