I waited until midnight, feeling very sleepy and unable to think. Drinking tea didn't help, so I woke Lingshang up and asked her to help keep watch. Lingshang yawned, stretched, and said, "It seems your reputation has spread."

"Fame spread? What does that mean?" I asked.

She stood up from the bed and helped me lie down. She said with a smile, "Some important people on the island will come to visit you."

"Big shot? What big shot? It was just now... No, you were not asleep just now, and you heard all the noise outside, right?" I asked.

She nodded, then shook her head and said, "I am from the fox tribe, and I am used to this light sleep mode, so that I can avoid threats as soon as possible and prevent being attacked by other beasts. This is a skill I have learned since I was a child. So it is not that I did not fall asleep, but that I can hear the movement when I am lightly sleeping, just like usual, so I heard the sound just now. As for that big man, I can only tell you that mortals cannot even see him."

I nodded, realizing that the girl was indeed extraordinary. Although her body was ethereal, she was not afraid of the Golden Sword and was able to stand above it. To say that she was a big shot was probably a true statement.

Afterwards, she comforted me and asked me to rest. I wanted to ask the woman's name, but she stopped me and said that there was a certain rule and she could not easily reveal the other party's identity. So I did not ask any more questions. Then she went to the kitchen and started her favorite night watch. Perhaps foxes and cats have some similarities. They get excited at night, so she also has a special enthusiasm for things like night watch.

I was lying next to Yunwen, she was sleeping soundly, I didn't want to disturb her so I just lay there, but suddenly a hand was on me, and then Yunwen turned over, but her eyes were still closed. This little girl didn't move just now, but after I lay down and Lingshang left, she turned around on her own initiative. She was obviously pretending to sleep, right? I kept silent and waited to see what she was going to do next.

But I saw her feet also came up, and then half of her body was on me, with her eyes closed, pretending. I thought she was just like that, but after a while, she simply put her hands on her face and gently pushed me, and I turned my face away. She muttered, "Are you going to not cooperate at all and be a wooden man?"

I chuckled in my mind, but I don't like being a piece of wood.

So I turned to her and hugged her waist, letting her stick close to me. Her face immediately turned red and she bit her lips, looking very satisfied. She also hugged me tightly. Even in this wood, we hugged each other tightly. I also understood that the good times were fleeting, and those threats were always there. Now, every minute was precious. How could she waste it? A moment of hugging was just hugging each other, so how could she fall asleep easily?

"Do you really want to be a piece of wood?" She greeted him with her pretty face and her lips moved slightly.

I shook my head and said, "Of course not."

So I hugged her tightly, kissed her tender lips, and kissed her passionately...

I don't know when I fell asleep. When I woke up, Yunwen was cooking in the kitchen, and Lingshang was gone. The sun was rising in the east and the sky was bright. I got up and stretched lazily. The whole house was filled with the aroma of cooking. I knew it was potatoes fried with some wild vegetables. The dishes were already on the table. I passed Yunwen and went to the backyard to wash up. She was cooking and couldn't help but smile shyly when she saw me.

I saw that her lips were a little broken, and I felt really embarrassed. Thinking about what happened last night was still quite embarrassing. After washing up, I went upstairs to check on Bai Lu's condition. She still hadn't woken up yet due to the residual toxins in her body, but her breathing was even and she had no other symptoms. Sometimes she would frown, which showed that she was still conscious, but just couldn't wake up for a while. Although I was anxious, I was helpless and didn't know where to start.

I could only hope that her condition would gradually improve. When I went downstairs, I saw Yunwen concentrating on steaming buns and looking dazed. She didn't even notice that I went downstairs. She was motionless like a beautiful sculpture, with such amazing posture and perfect figure. I couldn't help but move closer. She was still unaware, so I hugged her, and my nose was immediately filled with fragrance. She also made a coquettish sound, and when she reacted, she shouted that she hated it.

"What are you thinking about?" I asked.

She turned around, looked at me with her big pretty eyes, and said, "Of course I'm thinking about how to arrange things next. Since I'm your wife and also the queen, I naturally have to make our wedding a dignified one."

"I'll do it with you." I said softly.

She touched my nose with her hand, bit her lip and smiled, "No need, you are not the same as before, no longer a wanderer in the wilderness, no longer a country bumpkin, the whole city was built under your supervision, all the hyenas and us are your subjects, you are the king, there are many things you don't have to do yourself, we should all do our own duties, just let me do it, okay?"

"Okay, since you said so, I'll leave it to you, but you still have to tell me what you were thinking about just now. You were in a daze, biting your fingers, and frowning, which shows that you were thinking about something upsetting. And then when you were talking to me, your eyes wandered a few times, which shows that arranging this marriage was just something you thought of later to deal with me, right?" I asked.

At this point, she couldn't help but sigh, then nodded, pushed away from my embrace, and said, "There is something I don't know whether I should tell you, but it's not appropriate for me to tell you about this matter. It will be suspected that I hate others, so I think it's better not to tell you for the time being. By the way, the steamed buns are ready, let's have breakfast."

So I helped Yunwen put the steamed buns on the plate. Now it is mid-September and the flour has run out. This is the last steamed bun meal of the year. If we want to eat it again, we have to wait until next year. But I don’t know if we will be lucky enough to live to see that day.

After the dishes were served, they were placed on the table. All the dishes on the table were made by Yunwen. After helping in the kitchen for such a long time, Yunwen's cooking skills have improved a lot. Her strength lies in that her mind can remember clearly what others cook, so her cooking can get better and better. I picked up the chopsticks and picked up a few slices of fried potato chips. My mouth was filled with fragrance. It was really not much different from Bai Lu's. My appetite was immediately opened, and I picked up the steamed bun and started to chew it.

But I don’t want Yunwen to eat breakfast with a lot of things to say, otherwise such a delicious meal will be wasted. Isn’t it a waste?

I had already figured out what she wanted to say, so I spoke for her: "Since you don't have a position, I'll say it for you. You want to talk about Bai Lu, right? You've realized that she has an unspeakable secret related to this prison, right?"

She was tearing the steamed bun with her hands, listening to me, and was surprised, then nodded.

"You probably know that she performed some kind of witchcraft sacrifice that attracted evil spirits to possess her, right? Yunwen, there's no need for us to talk about our stances. Those words are said for others to hear, so just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to be formal with me." I said.

She put down the steamed bun and said, "Then I said, I suspect that her pregnancy is related to the prisoner in the prison. That day you went out with Sister Lingshang. When I came back to get something, she was hiding upstairs, praying that she could get pregnant and have a child to keep her position. But she noticed me. When I went upstairs and opened the door, there were only a lot of charcoal marks on the ground, as well as black crow feathers, charcoal marks wiped off the ground, and smelly red blood. I was stunned at the time. She said that I disturbed her and Yingchun's spiritual communication. After that, she drove me out. But thinking about this matter now, I wonder if it is related to the prisoner."

"Why didn't you tell me that day?" I asked.

"After all, nothing happened. I just thought she was superstitious that day, and she and I have always had conflicts. I was afraid that you would think I was too petty, so I didn't say anything." Yunwen said.

"Did she say anything else besides praying to get pregnant and have a child?" I asked.

"I remember that she would add the word 'Lord' behind every word of begging, and in the last sentence, she mentioned Lord Youye." Yunwen said.

At this time, Lingshang had returned to the post station without knowing when. When she heard us talking, she was stunned for a moment, then ran over anxiously and asked, "Sister Yunwen, are you... are you telling the truth? Is she really calling out Lord Youye?"

Ling Shang held Yunwen's hand tightly, her eyes were particularly urgent. Yunwen nodded at her, and she retreated three or four steps as if her soul had been taken away. She sneered and said, "It turned out to be it! I wondered what kind of monster had such a powerful ability, it turned out to be imprisoned."

"Who is it?" I asked.

Ling Shang turned around, her eyes were flustered and her face was tense. Finally, she answered, "The unfathomable dark dragon in the legend."
