Chapter 118 I slept late last night and woke up early this morning, so I feel tired!
Lan Xiyue lay down again, muttering softly, "I wonder when Mo Liyuan will come back?"
The system's voice sounded in her mind, with a hint of ridicule: "Host, do you want to be the Regent?"
Lan Xiyue frowned upon hearing this and said unhappily, "Bullshit! I've already spent all my points. Of course I want to earn more."
She was just afraid that Yun Qing would die in a month, and she hadn't earned enough merit, so this damn system would deduct her points, so she used up all her points.
At this time, Mo Liyuan was in a dense forest.
Not long after he left the capital, he encountered two ambushes. Each time, men in black followed him closely, trying to kill him.
Mo Liyuan's face was as gloomy as water, and the long sword in his hand shone coldly in the moonlight, with blood still dripping from the tip of the sword.
Tianyi followed him closely, looking around vigilantly.
I saw more and more people in black approaching silently like ghosts in the night.
Tianyi's heart tightened, and he whispered to Mo Liyuan, "Master, you go first."
Mo Liyuan's eyes became even colder when he heard that. He flashed his body and soared into the air like a roc spreading its wings. He swung out a cold and sharp sword energy, instantly knocking down several men in black who were close to him to the ground, causing them to spit out blood.
Seeing this, Tianyi picked up his sword and joined the battle again.
The sword flashed like a weave and blood splattered.
Mo Liyuan weaved through the black-clad figures, each sword swing precise and deadly. His swordsmanship was so sharp and domineering that it seemed to rip the night sky apart, shaking the air around him.
However, the number of men in black was too great; they came like a tide, seemingly endless.
Tianyi's swordsmanship is also not weak, but it is still far inferior to Mo Liyuan's.
The dense forest was in a mess, with the sounds of weapons clashing and screams rising one after another.
The secret guards fought fiercely with the men in black.
Until the dawn began to appear on the horizon, the few remaining men in black retreated, leaving behind only the mess on the ground.
Mo Liyuan stood in the center of the battlefield, his eyes dark as water. He said coldly, "Rest here."
The injured secret guards moved upon hearing the sound. Some sat down on the spot, took out medicine powder from their arms with trembling hands, and carefully bandaged their wounds; others barely supported their bodies and began to clean up the battlefield.
Tianyi, along with a few secret guards, shuttled through the dense forest and soon returned with some freshly hunted game.
They handled the prey skillfully, making fire, setting up the grill, skewering the meat...the series of actions were smooth and flowing, and it was obvious that they did this work frequently.
Mo Liyuan leaned against a large tree, closing his eyes to rest. However, Lan Xiyue's figure involuntarily emerged in his mind.
That woman who always had a bit of playfulness and cunning, she was probably still sleeping soundly in bed at this moment. Mo Liyuan opened his eyes in a flash, and looked through the layers of leaves towards the direction of the capital.
"Master." Tianyi's voice interrupted his thoughts.
Mo Liyuan came back to his senses, took the roast chicken handed to him by Tianyi, and began to eat it slowly.
The aroma of the chicken filled my mouth, temporarily dispelling my fatigue.
After eating and drinking, Mo Liyuan's expression remained stern. He said in a deep voice, "Rest for two hours, and then we'll be on our way."
Before he finished speaking, he flashed and jumped onto the big tree next to him.
He lay on a thick branch, his mind filled with endless thoughts.
He must rush to Mogu Mountain as soon as possible to wipe out the bandits there.
He had to go back soon, otherwise if he left for too long, would she chase after other men again? As this thought came to mind, his face grew even colder. "Lan Xiyue! You belong to me, so you'd better wait for me to come back. If you dare to chase after other men when I'm not around, I'll show you how I'll deal with you when I get back."
The secret guards also climbed up the trees and found a good place to lie down and rest.
They had fought all night and were exhausted. Although they had cleaned up the battlefield and buried the bodies, the stench of blood was still strong. In this dense forest, if wild beasts were attracted, another fierce battle would ensue.
………………
Lan Xiyue suddenly woke up from the bed, sat up straight, and gasped heavily, as if she had just escaped from an endless nightmare.
"Oh my god!" she couldn't help but cry out.
The system is: "Host, what's wrong with you? Are you having a nightmare?"
Lan Xiyue rubbed her temples and said, "It's a nightmare. In the dream, Mo Liyuan actually pinched my neck again and said coldly, 'Woman, I will kill you!'" Her voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that the fear in the dream had not completely dissipated.
System: "This system sees that the host is thinking about things during the day and dreaming about them at night. Before going to bed last night, the host was still muttering about when the Regent would return."
Lan Xiyue rolled her eyes upon hearing this. "Thinking about something? I think about him strangling me? Come on, I was mumbling about points before I went to sleep last night. Who was mumbling about him?"
After saying that, Lan Xiyue got out of bed, walked to the table, poured a cup of cold tea, and drank it all in one gulp.
The cold tea slid down her throat, bringing a hint of coolness and dispelling the dryness in her mouth.
At this moment, there was a slight knock on the door, and Chuchun called softly, "Miss, are you awake?"
Lan Xiyue put down the teacup and said calmly, "Come in!"
Chuchun opened the door and walked in with hot water.
"I just heard some noises from inside at the door. The young lady is awake indeed."
Chuchun put the basin on the shelf and asked, "Miss, did you not sleep well last night? Why do you still look tired?"
Lan Xiyue walked over, bent down, scooped up the water, and washed her face.
She stood up and wiped her face with a handkerchief. "I slept late last night and woke up early this morning. I feel exhausted."
Chuchun smiled slightly when she heard this, "Miss, after breakfast, you can sleep for a while."
Lan Xiyue nodded, "My Chunchun is considerate."
Chuchun burst out laughing. Her lady was sometimes like that, not serious at all. Chuchun walked out and soon came back with breakfast and put it on the table.
Lan Xiyue walked to the table, sat down, picked up a bun and took a bite.
