These eight simple words brought an end to a dynasty.
It was already late at night when the affairs of the previous dynasty were dealt with.
Shao Linyuan got up from his desk, too tired to move, but he still went to the imperial kitchen and made some porridge for Jinjin.
The curtains of the wooden bed remained tightly drawn, and the porridge on one side was untouched. Shao Linyuan smiled and asked, "Why aren't you awake yet?"
Last night... I didn't go too far, did I?
He put down the porridge and went to untie the curtain: "Jinjin, get up. I made you some porridge. You can also tell me the story behind the scar on your stomach..."
The sound stopped abruptly, and the moment the curtain was lifted, Shao Linyuan seemed to have stopped breathing.
Where's the little fox?
Did he run away by himself?
"Yu Liang!" he shouted, and Yu Liang, who was protecting him closely, immediately fell from the roof and bowed his head to obey.
"Go find Jinjin quickly! Search the entire palace!"
In the past, even if Jinjin left, she would always tell him where she was going. She had never encountered a situation like this where she left without saying goodbye.
A bad feeling crept into the demon hunter's heart. He contacted the seven tree spirits and learned that Jin Jin had not returned to the Shao residence either.
Where did he go?
Shao Linyuan's nerves, which had just relaxed, suddenly tightened again, almost snapping his entire body.
He went outside and searched the entire palace, but he couldn't find anyone, and there was no news from the Imperial Guards either.
It seems that Jinjin has... vanished into thin air.
Dragging his weary body back to Qiwu Palace, Shao Linyuan sat down at the table and finally saw the note.
The little fox is mine; I've taken it back to Wanyao Mountain.
There's something you might not know: the Scripture of Ten Thousand Demons records that half-demons never live past thirty. Those who cultivate like you have even shorter lifespans. You're twenty-seven this year, right? You don't have many days left to live, so cherish your life.
Don't disturb my happy life with the little fox.
Signed: Zhu Yan
Zhu Yan, Vice Envoy Zhu.
As Jinjin had mentioned before, the reason he was dethroned from his position as the Demon King was because Zhu Yan impersonated his brother and kept tormenting him.
No, he has to go to Wanyao Mountain.
He hasn't read the Scripture of Ten Thousand Demons; he can ask the seven old men for it.
If it's really as Zhu Yan said, he'll go even if it means death.
At least before his own life ends, he must help Jinjin ascend to the throne of the Demon King.
Even if I leave, I will have no regrets.
… …
Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, Demon King's Palace.
The originally pure white palace turned pitch black due to the evil demonic power of Zhu Yan.
Si Jin hadn't had enough sleep, but Xiao Yao had been restless for three hours. Seeing that Si Jin was showing signs of waking up, she immediately called out with tears in her eyes.
[My lord, you're finally awake! Look where we are! Waaah!]
As he spoke, he couldn't hold back his tears of fear, and he lowered his head to bite the small handkerchief in his mouth, making the whole tiger look even more pitiful.
Si Jin lifted her eyelids, as if some plan had succeeded, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
She sat up easily and stretched: "Isn't this home? What are you so nervous about in the original owner's house?"
【But my lord, we've been imprisoned by Zhu Yan! (╥ω╥`)】
When Xiao Yao first saw her master being imprisoned by someone other than Xiao Tianjun, she was in a complete panic.
Are we really going to have to admit defeat?
This dimension is so complex, so scary QAQ
What should I do?
Si Jin straightened her clothes and stared at the door outside, seemingly deep in thought.
Xiao Yao gradually relaxed, clenched her little paws seriously, and cheered herself up.
Keep calm, everyone! If the adults don't panic, neither will the animals!
There must be a way!
Three seconds later, Si Jin muttered to herself, "When are we going to eat? I'm hungry."
Xiaoyao: [d(д)! ! ! 】
As soon as the words were spoken, the door slowly opened from the outside, and walked in... another Si Jin...
