Chapter 16: Come Back with Me
An Chi reached out to stop the little palace maid and said, "The Imperial Master said that no one is allowed to disturb her meditation."
"I've never seen you before. You're not from our Stargazing Pavilion. Who are you? Why are you guarding the door of the Imperial Master?"
“…”
The sound of two people arguing was heard.
Shen Tingyu had a headache. The tasks issued by the system were really difficult, and the progress of the tasks was still zero.
A tyrant is like a piece of ice hidden at the bottom of the sea. You can only see the tip of the iceberg. It is mysterious and alienated.
It looks cold, but it's actually colder than I thought.
She really had no idea how to complete the mission. The only thing she was thankful for was that she still had points to comfort herself.
"Where is the Imperial Master?"
"All of you go down."
After finally regaining some energy, the tyrant's cold voice rang out.
Shen Tingyu raised his head suddenly, why did the tyrant come suddenly?
She climbed up the table with her legs clattering, pushed the window open a crack, stuck half of her body out, and saw with her own eyes the tyrant walk into her yard.
Xin Hongying immediately noticed the little puppet that was stealthily sticking its head out. She narrowed her eyes and found that she had indeed turned into a voodoo doll again.
My first reaction was surprise, and my steps became lighter unconsciously.
Seeing her dangerous action, he immediately stepped forward and did what he had wanted to do for a long time. Xin Hongying stretched out his bony hand and gently touched her little head.
"Has the fairy's magic power been exhausted again?"
Before he came to the Observatory, he had many questions to ask her, such as whether General Luo was in danger, Feng Ruonan secretly wearing a woman's bellyband, what the current situation at the border was, etc.
But the moment he saw her lose her magic power and turn from a tall and bright ice beauty into a voodoo doll again, he no longer wanted to ask.
He stretched out his big hands, fingers together, palms steady, and placed them at her feet as usual.
Shen Tingyu knew what he meant, but she did not walk up with her calves as she did in the past. Instead, she looked up at him and said, “Your Majesty, haven’t you seen it?”
She now has enough points and with An Chi's protection, she no longer needs to stay by the tyrant's side all the time. She can just wait like today, when she is needed, and then appear by the tyrant's side as the national teacher.
She hasn't figured out how to do the task yet...
The most important thing is that Shen Tingyu has seen the tyrant wiping the blood sword with an expressionless face, and she no longer knows how to face him.
At that moment, his image perfectly merged with the cruel and brutal tyrant in the book.
To put it simply, Shen Tingyu was a little scared.
The reason why Xin Hongying is the biggest villain in the original book is not only because he is the emperor and the biggest obstacle to the forbidden love between Concubine Yu and the Eleventh Prince, but also because of his cruel and brutal methods in the later period.
One of her favorite supporting characters even met a tragic death at the hands of a tyrant.
She was so hurt because of this plot that she cried so hard that her eyes were red and she couldn't face anyone.
So after she tried it, she wanted to give up because it was too difficult.
After all, there is nothing bad about becoming a rag doll, except that she can't taste delicious food and is worried about people finding out that she is alive.
"What's wrong with you?" Xin Hongying keenly noticed that her reaction was a little strange. "Are you feeling unwell? Are you injured?"
"I'm fine." Shen Tingyu shook his head and asked, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Xin Hongying lowered her eyelashes, covering up the crazy and strange joy in her heart, which was completely different from his indifferent voice.
"The Imperial Master has done a great deed by exposing the spies who were spreading false information. Since my magical power is exhausted and I am unable to move, I have come to take the fairy back."
Then he hid it and treasured it in his bedroom, never letting anyone else see it.
Unable to see the tyrant's concealed expression, she moved her lips and said slowly, "Go back? Your Majesty is wrong. The Stargazing Pavilion is where I, as the Imperial Master, live."
"What do you mean?" Xin Hongying frowned, he retracted his palm and stood with his hands folded.
"Doesn't the fairy need my dragon energy to recover his cultivation?"
"Of course I need it." Shen Tingyu's heart tightened, "but...but..."
This was the lie she told in order to stay by the tyrant's side and complete the mission more conveniently. How was she going to cover it up now?
Waiting online, quite urgent, embarrassing!
"Just what?"
Seeing her troubled expression, Xin Hongying waited for a while, but still received no answer. Feeling unhappy, his tone was no longer as gentle as at the beginning, and there was a hint of danger in his voice: "Come back with me!"
He reached out his hand to hold her in his palm, but she nimbly dodged it.
Shen Tingyu stretched out her legs and kicked, and the window in front of her was slammed shut by her, and Xin Hongying held nothing.
After closing the window, Shen Tingyu ran away a little bit, and asked angrily: "Your Majesty, what do you want to do?"
Xin Hongying, who was stopped outside the window, had a very ugly expression on his face. Veins bulged faintly above his temples on both sides. His handsome face darkened and he could not suppress the anger rising in his heart.
His thin lips slightly opened, and he stretched out his fingers to open the window, but he froze in mid-air before he could touch it. He covered his head with his hands, his face pale, and took a step back.
There was no movement outside the window. Shen Tingyu tilted her ears, moved closer little by little, and quietly leaned against the window. Through the gap between the windows, she could not see the tyrant's face, but only a little bit of his clothes.
"I will pick you up tomorrow."
The gloom between Xin Hongying's brows lingered, but it wasn't directed at Shen Tingyu. He collected himself and slowly turned to leave.
[Ding! Warning! Warning! Xin Hongying's Darkening Point has increased by +5, and the progress of the Mingjun Cultivation Quest is now -5%. Please be aware!]
【Ah ...
[Host, what did you do? Xiao Qi was only away for a short while, how...how could you turn the mission progress into a negative value?]
Shen Tingyu dropped his jaw in shock, kicked the window open, and held out Erkang's hand: "Your Majesty, I was wrong, come back soon, I will go back with you."
However, there was no tyrant in the courtyard anymore.
Shen Tingyu seemed to have suffered a major blow, and her straight shoulders drooped. She said softly, "Xiao Qi, am I the only one who has a negative progress value?"
The harder I try, the more useless it is. Now even playing badly is not allowed. Shen Tingyu suddenly feels so useless!
She didn't want to do the mission anymore.
The wind is very cool tonight.
The bed in the Observatory was of normal human size, and the quilt was heavy on her body, pressing on her and wrapping her tightly, yet giving her a slight sense of security.
Shen Tingyu did not sleep peacefully, this bed was not as comfortable as the small bed that the tyrant gave her in the miniature palace.
She was immersed in a dark dream.
In the dream, Xin Hongying kicked her to the ground and came towards her with a long sword in his hand. She was trembling with fear and begging for mercy, but the tyrant sneered and pointed the sword at her head, like a Rakshasa.
Her head was cut off and rolled to the ground. She watched helplessly as the tyrant stepped on her face, wiped the bloody sword, looked down at her head, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
She knew she was in a dream because her head was cut off, she could see the tyrant wiping his sword, and she could hear his cold smile.
Half asleep and half awake, she seemed to hear some strange noises, a series of footsteps, as if someone was standing by the bed looking down at her.
Following her intuition, she suddenly woke up.
