Therefore, he had been longing for it for hundreds of years, and now that he was about to find it, he absolutely could not let someone else beat him to it.
The old man's gaze was deep. He opened his mouth as if to speak, urging Jiang Yuetong to give him a jade token.
Jiang Yuetong spoke first: "We're here."
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone felt a pressure-filled aura approaching.
Jiang Yuetong and Li Qingrong exchanged glances. The other woman nodded firmly at them; she intended to use them as bait.
After understanding her meaning, Jiang Yuetong bent down and dragged the girl on the ground away without any hesitation.
Before using the talisman to become invisible, he whispered, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and hide."
The old man pursed his lips and reluctantly went invisible.
I just didn't expect her to agree to let Li Qingrong be the bait, and she wasn't afraid that if they were exposed, the island lord would be furious and attack Li Qingrong.
Jiang Yuetong had certainly thought about this. After all, Li Qingrong was the female lead and wouldn't die so easily. Besides, she was observing from the shadows.
Moreover, coming to the small world is itself a training experience, so naturally Li Qingrong should do everything herself.
Only after their figures had disappeared into the corner did Li Qingrong run behind the light gauze curtain.
The door creaked open.
An unfamiliar atmosphere washed over her, and Li Qingrong, who had just sat down, couldn't help but straighten her back.
The island lord strode over, and after only one glance at the blurry figure, he recognized that Li Qingrong was not a dancer. He frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
Li Qingrong swallowed hard, forcing herself to remain calm, and said in a clear and melodious yet gentle voice, "The dancer has fainted. I was brought here by Lord Cheng."
The island owner, who had just sat down, raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"
After a while, the island lord did not speak again, presumably he was sending a telepathic message to the middle-aged man to see if what Li Qingrong said was true.
I didn't expect him to be so wary.
Li Qingrong was terrified that the island lord would discover something, so she didn't dare to breathe loudly, and her palms were sweating profusely.
At this moment, the island lord chuckled: "Since you've come here to serve me, what are you doing there, beauty?"
Li Qingrong's bright eyes darted around slightly, and she imitated the voice of her concubine at home, saying softly, "Although it is my honor to serve the island lord, I am unwilling to stay by your side without a name or status."
Upon hearing this, the island owner quickly understood what she meant.
He looked up at the blurry figure not far away, his eyes narrowing slightly as he said, "You want to follow me to Youyin Island?"
When asked about her purpose, Li Qingrong became even more nervous.
"Yes, since I serve you, I am your person and naturally want to stay by the island lord's side."
Li Qingrong swallowed hard and continued in a soft, sweet voice, "If you don't take me back, who knows how far Youyin Island is from the castle, and when will it be able to come and see me?"
The island owner pondered for a moment. He particularly enjoyed this imperial feeling, but what if he had someone by his side...?
“Youyin Island is only two kilometers away from the castle. I can come here at any time. If you really want to stay by my side, it is not impossible.”
After saying that, he smiled maliciously.
A flash of disgust crossed Li Qingrong's eyes, but she continued in a low voice, "The Island Lord can come anytime, but what if you don't want to come?"
Upon hearing this, the island lord threw his head back and laughed loudly, saying, "This little beauty is indeed adorable; she's already vying for my favor even before becoming my woman."
Li Qingrong: "..."
Help! I really want to punch him!
I wonder if Jiang Yuetong can beat him.
Just as I was thinking this, Jiang Yuetong, who was hiding in the corner, made her move.
