Chapter 787 The Return of the Gods 71
Tang Lu comforted the mother Gu that he had just awakened:
"Something that can make Master behave."
Quan Jiu tried to mobilize the spiritual power in her body and wanted to fight him, but she found that her dantian was dead silent. The spiritual power that should have been flowing was frozen. No matter how she tried to control it, the spiritual power was as quiet as a stone sinking into the sea.
Tang Lu witnessed her expression change from surprise to slight anger.
"Nine-Mind Pills are harmless to the body and can also help with sleep. However, the user will temporarily be unable to use spiritual power, and their limbs will feel heavy and weak. After we get married, I will naturally give you the antidote."
Looking at Quan Jiu's cold eyes, Tang Lu reached out to tidy up her messy hair.
"Don't glare at me, Master, you are always smart and clever. I am just trying to avoid unnecessary trouble. If you are angry, you can punish me however you want after we get married. The ceremony is tomorrow. Please bear with me for a while."
He used to think that status was unimportant. She was like a high-flying kite. No matter how far she flew, as long as the string was still in his hand, he would not care at all.
But he didn't expect that even if she had lost her memory, she was still involved with that little beast Feng Zui.
Ten planes.
She has been Fengzui's bride so many times.
This time, he will not let Feng Zui get his wish.
Quan Jiu felt a chill run down his spine as he listened to his words: "Tomorrow?"
Isn’t the wedding ceremony the day after tomorrow?
Tang Lu just patted her head and said, "A cunning rabbit has three burrows."
From the beginning, the wedding ceremony was scheduled for tomorrow. There were two versions of the invitation. The one written on the real invitation had the correct time, and the fake invitation was just a trick to confuse Feng Zui and others.
By the time they came to snatch the bride, he and his master had already gotten married.
Quan Jiu pursed his lips. According to the cunningness of Tang law, Feng Zui must have seen it at the wrong time.
Tang Lu looked at her with deep black eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly:
"Master, just be my bride."
………
The wine was sent back to the room.
Tang Lu was determined to marry her. Even though he knew that she had no spiritual power and was completely powerless, the guards outside the house were increased several times. Even inside the house, there were maids watching her at all times.
"My lady, would you like some water?"
The maid's attitude was even more respectful than before.
Quan Jiu sat at the head of the bed with her eyes closed, ignoring him. She was preparing for the worst. If Feng Zui didn't come tomorrow, how would she get rid of Tang Lu?
"In two hours, the maid who will do your makeup will be here. Your Majesty, please go to bed early."
As if knowing that Quan Jiu would not listen to them, the maid quietly stepped aside after she finished speaking so as not to disturb her rest.
Quan Jiu found a lot of excuses to go out, but the maid had obviously been given special instructions and did not agree to her request. Even after she changed into her wedding dress and combed her hair, Quan Jiu still did not find a chance to escape.
There was still one incense stick of time left before the auspicious time when footsteps were heard outside the door.
"You guys go down first." It was a male voice.
Quan Jiu narrowed her eyes slightly. She had heard this voice just yesterday. Although the Left Protector only said two sentences yesterday, she had a good memory and was definitely not mistaken.
The maids guarding the room looked hesitant. The order given to them by His Majesty the Demon King was that they must not let the Empress out of their sight before she got into the bridal sedan.
But the person who came was the Left Protector, His Majesty's most trusted minister...
When the maid hesitated, the left protector spoke again:
"It was His Majesty who ordered me to come and fetch the Empress, and it was also His Majesty's order for you to leave. I have something to give to the Empress, and it is related to the secrets of the demon race. The fewer people who know about it, the better."
As soon as these words were spoken, the hesitation on the maids' faces disappeared. Since it was His Majesty's order, they naturally had to obey.
After the maidservant left, Quan Jiu and the left protector looked at each other.
It was said that this left protector was a black eagle demon with a pair of sharp eagle eyes, which was aggressive and always disliked by people. She had been in the demon tribe for a few days and had never dealt with him. Her only impression of this left protector was that he was taciturn and had a gloomy temperament.
The left protector looked at Quan Jiu and said, "My Lady, please come over here. I will give you the things."
Quan Jiu sat still and said, "What is it? Tang Lu didn't even give it to me personally?"
"According to custom, newlyweds cannot meet before their wedding day, so His Majesty asked me to pass it on."
Quan Jiu looked at him and sat in front of the dressing table without moving.
"I told you, this woman is very cunning. You can't fool her with your little tricks!"
Wan Yingzhi's voice sounded behind him.
Quan Jiu felt a little depressed. Without her spiritual power, she didn't even notice when Wan Yingzhi sneaked into her house.
"Stop talking nonsense with her. The auspicious time is almost here. Let's act quickly before anyone notices anything is wrong." Wan Yingzhi urged.
The left protector attacked straight at Quan Jiu, aiming for his neck: "My Lady, I'm sorry."
Quan Jiu was weak and had to use all her strength to barely avoid the man who was so fast that he became an afterimage. She held on to the corner of the table, her fingers turning white.
"Left Guardian, you should know that if you touch me, you won't survive."
She didn't understand why the left protector suddenly had murderous intentions towards her, even though they had met yesterday and he had looked indifferent.
The murderous intent in the left protector's eyes remained undiminished, his black eyes were cold and ruthless:
"Even if His Majesty kills me, Your Majesty, you must die today."
He launched another killing move. Quan Jiu dodged in panic, but was still hit by the palm. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his back hit the protruding corner of the dressing table, and the tail end of his spine was almost broken!
Wan Yingzhi watched the scene coldly without taking any action. She had received the punishment yesterday, so naturally she blamed everything on Quan Jiu.
"Since you're going to die, I'm telling you this out of kindness."
There was an extra object in her hand, which was the Styx Mirror.
Quan Jiu used to only look at the past, and all the drops of blood were on the front, but at this moment, there was an extra drop of blood on the back of the mirror.
"Yesterday I dropped His Majesty's blood on the back of the mirror. Guess what I saw?"
Quan Jiu frowned. She must have seen something that was unfavorable to Tang Law, otherwise the loyal Left Protector would not have gone against orders to kill her.
"I saw you kill His Majesty with your own hands."
Wan Yingzhi trembled all over as she recalled the scene where Quan Jiu pierced His Majesty's heart with a sword.
Quan Jiu was slightly stunned. Will she kill Tang Lu in the future?
Wan Yingzhi looked at her coldly: "His Majesty loves you deeply. Even if he knew all this, he would still protect you. But as the guardian of the demon world, I will never allow anyone to harm His Majesty."
Although she would be jealous if Your Majesty married her, it would not be to the point of killing her.
"Left Protector, take action!"
Her expression grew even colder as she spoke.
The left protector also understood that time was running out, so he no longer held back his strength, and a strong demonic energy emerged from his palms.
"Little Fujiko!"
The wine is no longer hidden.
Green vines rushed out and collided with the palm of the left protector, dispersing the evil energy in his palm. At the same time, a red sword went straight to his heart!
"Bang--"
The dart hit the long sword, and Long Xiao just grazed the clothes on his chest, leaving a long cut.
