There was nothing unusual on Su Changzhao's face.
But the next second, Yu Jiuchen blocked Yuan Shian's sight for her without leaving a trace.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Yu Jiuchen bowed.
Yuan Shian came back to his senses, hiding the slight displeasure in his eyes, and responded with the same courtesy: "Su Wen, the Ghost King of the Underworld Water does not easily see guests. I am fortunate to be entertained by the Ghost King today. It is really a blessing in life."
"Your Highness, you are welcome. Please." Yu Jiuchen extended his hand.
"please."
A group of people came to the banquet hall and took their seats.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen dancers holding ribbons entered one after another.
When the music started, the dancers began to sway their flexible bodies and dance gracefully on the open space of the banquet.
Everybody was drinking.
Only Yuan Shian would look at Su Changzhao's disguise as his lover whenever he had the chance.
Su Changzhao didn't care too much about it, he just thought: [This Yuan Shian will probably ask about the third prince of Qing Kingdom in a while. ]
[Since they brought such generous gifts, they probably want me to do them a favor. When they are doing things in the city, or sending people to help find someone, they will definitely have this kind of request.]
[The dog emperor is best at playing tricks, so I don't have to worry about that. As long as the requests made by Yuan Shian and others are not excessive, I can agree to them.]
[When the time comes, as long as the news of the third prince appearing somewhere else is released, Yuan Shian and others will definitely leave the ghost town.]
[As for the former Qing State Master Liu Wuyue, I believe he will come to ask for the treasure map soon. By then, it will be a dispute between him and the Dog Emperor. Maybe I can take advantage of the situation and throw the Dog Emperor to him.]
[Hey, once the Dog Emperor, the Qing Crown Prince, and the others leave the ghost town, everything will be fine~]
Then, Yuan Shian finally spoke.
"Ghost King," he turned to Yu Jiuchen, "I am here today to ask you a favor."
Yu Jiuchen turned to him with the bronze ghost mask on his face: "Oh? Your Highness, please feel free to speak."
"Some time ago, my third brother came to the ghost town, and I heard that he left not long after?"
"It is true."
Yuan Shian: "I wonder if my third brother made any enemies with anyone while he was in the city?"
“I have never heard of it.”
Yuan Shian guessed Yu Jiuchen's answer, so he smiled and said, "This is what happened. My third brother would send a letter back to the capital of Qing Kingdom every two days to report on his current situation. Now he has lost contact with me for half a month. My father sent me here to find him. I hope the Ghost King can help me find my brother. I will give him a generous gift as a reward when the time comes."
Everyone present could tell that Yuan Shi'an was being polite on the surface. His previous sentence said that his third brother was in the ghost town, and then his whereabouts were unknown. He was hinting that the disappearance of the third prince of Qing was related to the ghost town.
Now that Yuan Shian is the crown prince, he has come to Ghost City with generous gifts to investigate his brother's disappearance. It is reasonable for Ghost City to cooperate and help find his brother, otherwise it will become enemies with the Kingdom of Qing.
Yu Jiuchen's lips curved up under his ghost face, "Your Highness and the Third Prince have a deep brotherly love, which is truly precious. Ghost City is willing to help."
Su Changzhao heard: [The Dog Emperor is indeed the Dog Emperor. His implication is that he did not agree to help because he was afraid of Qing Kingdom, but because of the brotherhood between Yuan Shian and his third brother. In this way, the position of Ghost City is clear. Ghost City can make friends with other countries, but will not go further because of personal feelings. It will always remain behind the safety line of neutrality.]
Yuan Shian naturally understood what Yu Jiuchen meant, and thought to himself: This Ghost King of the Underworld is indeed worldly and smooth. After accepting his gifts, I should do things for him, but in this way, those gifts have become visiting gifts. Out of sympathy, I agreed to help him find his brother, and at the same time sold a favor to Qingguo. It would be unreasonable to not honor the generous gifts I mentioned.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shian couldn't help laughing inwardly: He really is worthy of being the Ghost King who made the Ghost Town strong and big in just one year.
This scheme is indeed deep enough.
"Then I would like to thank the Ghost King first." Yuan Shian raised his glass.
Yu Jiuchen also raised his glass to him, and the two of them toasted each other and then drank together.
Yuan Shian has always been a person who would not suffer any loss. After being tricked by someone, he naturally wanted to get it back from other places.
His eyes couldn't help but fall on the person in pink clothes and peach eyes standing beside Yu Jiuchen.
"I don't know, who is this person next to the Ghost King?"
After finishing the serious business, Yuan Shian couldn't help but ask.
Su Changzhao was stunned for a moment, and the next second, his wrist tightened and Yu Jiuchen hugged him and sat in his arms.
"He," he stroked Su Changzhao's cheek lovingly, "is my new toy."
When Yuan Shian heard it, he realized it was a plaything.
I've given you so many generous gifts, it shouldn't be too much to ask you for a toy.
He just gave a wink to Wang Counselor who was sitting down, meaning that it was your turn to take action. This prince has taken a fancy to that man, so ask him to come over to this prince.
Unexpectedly, when Wang Mou Shi was about to speak, Yu Jiuchen had already seen through their thoughts, and kissed Su Changzhao in front of them with his veil lifted.
"Hmm..." Su Changzhao didn't react and made a sound that was neither loud nor soft.
Then, Yu Jiuchen immediately held her horizontally and said, "I'm sorry, this little thing of mine is very hot-tempered, and it won't do without my favor for a while. I'm sorry that I'm busy with important matters and can't entertain you well. Your Highness, please make yourself at ease."
Yu Jiuchen pretended to be impatient and left with Su Changzhao in his arms.
Yuan Shian was somewhat jealous of this scene, especially when Yu Jiuchen said "I am busy with important matters". Anyone with a discerning eye knew what the "important matters" he was referring to were.
As if to find balance, he quickly looked at the dancer in red who danced the best and had the best figure, and a burning desire gradually rose in his eyes.
Wang, the sharp-faced counselor, knew what the prince was thinking as soon as he saw his prince's reaction, and immediately set his sights on the dancer in red.
·
After coming out, Su Changzhao saw that they were far away from the water pavilion, and hurriedly called Yu Jiuchen to put her down.
Unexpectedly, the other party not only did not let her go, but also carried her towards Wangshuxuan without saying a word.
"Shi Lianyu, I order you to put me down!"
Hearing Su Changzhao yelling and calling him "Shi Lianyu", Yu Jiuchen finally stopped and put her on the ground as he said.
But as soon as Su Changzhao's feet touched the ground, the other party hugged her again, pulled off her veil, and kissed her hard.
【Did the dog emperor take the wrong medicine? 】
[Or was he drugged? ]
Su Changzhao pushed him away: "What are you doing!"
Yu Jiuchen took off his mask and walked up to me with a hurt look on his face: "You didn't intend to keep me by your side from the beginning, right?"
Su Changzhao felt that his words and reactions were nonsensical.
Little did she know that Yu Jiuchen had heard all her thoughts in the water pavilion.
He was furious when he found out that Su Changzhao had never thought of keeping him or being with him from the beginning to the end, and even wanted to throw him to someone else, even if it was Liu Wuyue, whom he had only met once!
Only he knew that he had been enduring since that moment. After helping Su Changzhao deal with Yuan Shian, he discovered that Yuan Shian also coveted Su Changzhao.
The long move is his, his alone!
Yu Jiuchen finally couldn't bear it anymore.
After he carried Su Changzhao out, thoughts raced through his mind, and he wished he could just take her back to Yulong.
"You're going to leave me again, right?" Yu Jiuchen's eyes suddenly turned red, his chest ached, and the three lives he had experienced in the Dragon Realm emerged in his mind. Reality and illusion, the real and the unreal were intertwined, making him confused.
Thinking of the times when he lost Su Changzhao, his whole body felt like it was falling into an ice cellar, and the coldness spread from his heart to his limbs.
Regret! Pain! Despair!
He no longer wanted to suffer in the pain of missing her.
He took two steps forward, hugged his beloved again, and lowered his head to kiss the other's tender red lips...
