Chapter 662 Dungeon
Luo Li carefully shuttled through the narrow dungeon passage. The bluestone slabs under her feet were cold and damp, and every step seemed to make the sound of puddling water.
Her heartbeat resonated with the sound of dripping water in the darkness, echoing in her ears.
Luo Li complained silently that the Canghai Region was too poor, and the dungeon under the Hailan Palace was so shabby.
She went deeper and deeper. The dungeon was very large, almost covering the entire underground area of Hailan Palace.
The dim candlelight barely illuminated the area a few feet ahead, reflecting the mottled stone walls and the rusty cage.
Luo Li tiptoed around a corner, and suddenly, a slight noise came from the front, like the sound of an iron chain being dragged.
Her heart suddenly tightened, she gripped the short blade in her hand tightly and slowly approached.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure inside, and Luo Li's heart tightened, "A Ming..."
She wanted to go in immediately, but she was keenly aware of the formation covering the surroundings.
Luo Li narrowed her eyes, made hand gestures, opened a gap wide enough for one person to pass through, and slipped into the cell.
She looked around and breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps because of Emperor Xuanming's identity as the deputy domain lord of Jinglong Domain, the environment in this cell was better than other cells.
She walked a few steps to Di Xuanming's side and whispered, "A Ming."
Seeing that Di Xuanming didn't respond, Luo Li became anxious and raised her voice by two points, "A Ming!"
The sleeping person opened his eyes instantly and saw Luo Li in front of him. He asked in surprise, "A Li?"
Luo Li nodded and looked around, "Where's Ye Yuan? Isn't he locked up with you?"
Di Xuanming touched the end of Luo Li's hair and shook his head, "Ye Yuan is not here."
Luo Li was stunned. "Is he imprisoned somewhere else?"
"No." Di Xuanming chuckled and shook his head, then explained in detail to Luo Li.
It turned out that they had already known the thoughts of Lord Hailan and were just going along with it.
Ye Yuan had left long ago and was preparing to make a big fuss about the news that the Lord of Canghai Domain had secretly robbed and killed the Lord of Jinglong Domain, but he didn't expect Luo Li to come over as well.
Luo Li's lips twitched. Okay, she was worried for nothing.
Di Xuanming pinched Luo Li's earlobe and said, "I'm sorry I couldn't get in touch with you those few days, and I forgot to leave a message."
Luo Li shook her head and said helplessly, "I'm glad you're okay."
Di Xuanming rubbed Luo Li's head and asked softly, "Why did you come to Hailan Palace?"
Hearing this, Luo Li told him what had happened.
Di Xuanming scratched Luo Li's nose with his finger and chuckled, "Our Ah Li is really smart."
Luo Li sat beside Di Xuanming and said helplessly, "What's the use of being smart? This time I really worried for nothing."
"How can it be useless?" Di Xuanming turned around and took her into his arms, lowering his voice, "Ali is worried about me, I'm very happy."
Di Xuanming's embrace was warm and firm. Luo Li leaned against his chest and could hear his steady and strong heartbeat, which gently soothed her slightly panicked mood.
Her hair brushed gently against his arm, carrying a faint fragrance, which made Di Xuanming unconsciously tighten his arms, as if he wanted to engrave this peace of mind in his heart forever.
She gently raised her hand and traced the outline of Di Xuanming's chin with her fingertips. The touch felt warm and real.
Di Xuanming lowered his head and touched her forehead with his thin lips, gently and affectionately, as if he wanted to put all his doting into this soft kiss, and the whole world was silent.
After a moment, Luo Li stood up from his arms, frowning slightly, "Will my appearance here now ruin your plan?"
Di Xuanming shook his head and reassured her, "No, Ye Yuan should be almost ready."
Luo Li suddenly curled her lips into a smile, "A Ming, do you want me to add fuel to the fire for you?"
"Hmm?" Di Xuanming was a little confused and turned his head slightly to look at her.
A sly look flashed in Luo Li's eyes. She tiptoed gently and whispered in his ear, "Like this..."
After hearing this, Emperor Xuanming smiled and said, "If this happens, the Canghai Region will be in chaos."
Luo Li shrugged. "That's what you were thinking anyway. I'll give you a helping hand."
Di Xuanming's eyes were filled with doting as he lowered his head to look at her, "Thank you, A-Li."
Luo Li chuckled and said, "Okay, then I'll go back first."
Emperor Xuanming nodded, "Okay, Hai Lan is the Lord of the Canghai Territory. He may not be a very good person, but his strength is top-notch. You must be careful."
Luo Li hummed, "Don't worry, you should be careful too."
Di Xuanming smiled and nodded, "Okay."
After returning, Luo Li stayed in the room obediently until the last day.
Hai Lan appeared, wearing a dark blue robe with intricate wave totems embroidered on the cuffs. He stepped on the waves and slowly walked into the center of the room. A faint mist surrounded him, as if he had just walked out of the deep sea.
The sunlight shone on his stern face, but it could not hide the ambition and calculation in his deep eyes.
Luo Li glanced at Qing Chihua: Cheer up.
Qing Chihua looked back and nodded firmly: Spirit Master, don't worry, I'm ready!
Hailan Territory Lord said calmly, "What are you two doing?"
Luo Li smiled and said, "Didn't the Territory Lord ask us to stay here? So we are staying here well."
Hailan Territory Lord snorted coldly, turned around and said, "Come out."
Qing Chihua glanced at Luo Li, and seeing that she walked out as usual, he hurriedly followed her.
The Lord of Hailan Territory stood on the square outside the palace gate. His back was as majestic as a mountain, and a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy surrounded him, as if he could stir up a storm at any time.
His eyes were deep, staring at the two of them like the abyss, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere of impending storm.
He didn't speak, Luo Li didn't speak either, and the three of them looked at each other in silence.
The Lord of Hailan Territory stood there, seemingly waiting for something.
A quarter of an hour later, he curled his lips fiercely and said, "Very good."
Luo Li was puzzled, "What did you say, Territory Lord?"
Hailan Territory Lord turned and looked at the two of them, "The seven days are up."
The implication is that you should die.
Luo Li's face turned pale. Just as she was about to explain, she saw ripples in the void, as if the space was gently torn open. An old man in a green robe slowly stepped out, his eyes kind but with a hint of severity, staring directly at Luo Li.
The old man's appearance made the Hailan Territory Lord narrow his eyes. He only heard his gentle rebuke with a hint of fondness, "Girl, why are you afraid of him?"
The eyes of the Lord of Hailan Territory turned cold, and the soul power in his body surged, as if frozen, causing the air around him to drop suddenly.
A shadow guard suddenly appeared beside him, staring coldly at the old man in green clothes, a cold-blooded smile on his lips, "Where did you come from? How dare you disrespect the Territory Lord!"
After he finished speaking, he flipped his palm, and a long sword flashing with cold light appeared out of thin air. The tip of the sword lightly touched the ground, instantly stirring up circles of soul power ripples visible to the naked eye. The sword intent was sharp and pointed directly at the old man in green clothes. The atmosphere was tense to the extreme.
