The young female bandit's pupils trembled slightly, her eyes filled with fear and sorrow: "If you want me to suffer greatly by reminding me of these cruel past events, then you have achieved your goal."
Senior, I would like to be alone. May I ask you to take me home to rest?
Otherwise, my mind will be unsettled, and I fear it will delay the process of refining elixirs for you later.”
Her fear was real, her tears were real, and her trembling due to her deep sadness and fear was real.
Shang Beiyu did not detect anything unusual in her beautiful, clear phoenix eyes.
He was relieved, but also began to feel sorry for her.
He released his hand from her chin, moved it to her ear, and gently stroked the soft hair on her cheek.
Shang Beiyu coaxed him in a low voice, "You don't need to be sad or upset right away. Something unexpected happened when you entered the dream, so what you saw may not be real."
Mo Linxian: "..."
Could it be that Jiu Yue, that big worm, has really fallen for his little darling? How could he make up such a lie?
You can keep acting, I'll keep acting with you!
Ji Fengyao pouted, putting on an Oscar-worthy act, and feigned a cute and pitiful look: "An accident?"
"Yes, it's a restriction set up by the person who erased your memories. When I entered, I triggered and detonated the restriction, causing a violent tremor in the Dream Realm. This will disrupt your sealed memories and even cause them to reorganize on their own. It's also possible that the memories you see are fabricated by someone and placed there in advance. You don't need to believe them," Shang Beiyu said logically.
Ji Fengyao sneered inwardly:
If my master weren't currently recuperating inside the extreme fire, I would have actually believed your lies!
If you're so good at talking, why don't you go and do stand-up comedy!
"But...it was..." Ji Fengyao deliberately left things unsaid in order to gain Shang Beiyu's trust and lull him into a false sense of security.
Shang Beiyu believed it to be true, thinking that she was still worried about her true identity being exposed, and completely let her guard down.
He said considerately, "You don't need to worry too much. This time, it was because I didn't think things through, which is why I made a mistake."
You must be tired today, so I'll take you back to rest first.
"Once you've rested well, I'll guide you into your dreams again another day, and you'll surely see the whole truth."
"Alright," Ji Fengyao said in a low voice, feigning doubt and displeasure, "Thank you, senior!"
On the way back to the palace from the ancient temple, Mo Linxian memorized the location of the ancient temple through the eyes of the little bandit girl.
Shang Beiyu's demonic infant has lost two-thirds of its power and urgently needs to be restored.
He escorted the young female bandit back to Songmei Garden and then left in a hurry, without lingering any longer.
At this point, a day and a night had passed since the young female bandit left Songmei Garden.
With Ji Fengyao's letter in hand, Bai Lu wasn't in a hurry.
But when she saw Ji Fengyao return, she breathed a sigh of relief and rushed forward to greet her, asking anxiously, "Your Highness, you're back! Although I know you're clever and quick-witted and unlikely to suffer any losses, I'm still worried. Did that great demon bully you?"
When Mo Linxian heard the maid call the little bandit "Princess Consort", his heart fluttered again.
Ji Fengyao also secretly scanned her master's soul with her divine sense.
Seeing that he was just pretending to meditate and didn't seem to mind, she felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
With a roguish air, she hooked her arm around Bai Lu's shoulder, the little bandit's eyes crinkling with laughter: "He wanted to bully me, but alas, I have someone to protect me. He can only end up with a miserable fate of trying to steal a chicken but losing the bait instead!"
