Lin Shuang bit her lower lip hard and said, "...Yes, that's why I don't want to betray my queen!"
"Is it that you don't want to, or that you dare not?" Shang Beiyu smiled wickedly, tearing open Lin Shuang's hesitant and struggling heart with a single sentence: "You mortals have a saying that goes, 'If a man doesn't look out for himself, he'll be punished by heaven and earth.' I can completely understand your selfishness."
Alright, I have no interest in your princess. What I am interested in is whether the Ninth Prince can make this show in the capital even more spectacular.
After all, scenes of brothers turning against each other and killing each other are only seen once every ten years or so, aren't they?
"Here," Shang Beiyu said, taking out a low-grade spirit stone from his storage ring in his sleeve and tossing it to Lin Shuang's feet. "This is a spirit stone. Holding it while cultivating will make your efforts twice as effective. Consider this my sincerity towards you. You can try it first. If you want more, you'll have to exchange it with me for valuable information."
Lin Shuang supported the unconscious Bai Lu with one hand, and with the other hand, she tremblingly reached for the milky white, crystal-clear spirit stone at her feet. Originally, she was still somewhat conflicted and struggling, but when her fingertips touched the cool, jade-like spirit stone and felt the clear, cool spiritual power flowing from the stone through her fingertips, her heart was filled with excitement and joy.
That's when she realized that there were still good things in this world!
No wonder the princess treasured the stone spirit she found in the Gu family. Apart from giving Xique a few pieces, she wouldn't even let her and Bailu see it!
What the princess was unwilling to give her, she could obtain in exchange by simply saying a few innocuous words to the man in black; it is clear that the princess did not treat her and Bailu with her whole heart.
Hidden in the shadows, Shang Beiyu watched as Lin Shuang eagerly grasped the spirit stone and sat cross-legged in meditation. He no longer cared whether Bai Lu would catch a cold lying on the ground, and a sarcastic smile curled at the corner of his lips.
Lowly mortals are always so hypocritical;
What is the meaning of mutual support and sisterly affection? It's nothing more than this.
After casually flirting with the maidservant beside the little bandit, Shang Beiyu leisurely arrived at Song Huiru's residence for their appointment.
Song Huiru waited with her eyes open until the middle of the night, growing increasingly anxious and restless.
Upon suddenly seeing Shang Beiyu arrive, she couldn't help but feel angry and complained, "I told you to come see me, why are you so late?!"
"If someone had seen me earlier, I wouldn't have minded being the adulterer, but I'm afraid you don't have the ability to bear the title of adulterer," Shang Beiyu said coolly. "Speak, what do you want from me this time? Are you running out of spirit stones?"
"I need you to help me deal with that bandit, the more brutal the better!" Song Huiru gripped Shang Beiyu's hand tightly, gritting her teeth: "No, no, you just need to help me catch her, catch her and hand her over to me, I'll handle the rest myself!"
Shang Beiyu pulled down his hood and looked up at Song Huiru with a strange gaze, thinking that this woman's brain structure was the kind of bizarre thing he couldn't understand.
She actually asked him to capture the woman he loved most.
Then hand it over to her to handle?
"As far as I know, it seems that the young ladies of your capital city are literate from a young age?"
“Of course, literacy is a basic standard for ladies of good families. Why are you asking about this?” Song Huiru said with a proud expression.
Shang Beiyu waved his hand to light the lamp, slowly poured a cup of cold tea from the table, then dipped his finger in the water and wrote the character "death" on the table. He then looked up and asked, "Do you know how to pronounce this character?"
Song Huiru: "Of course I do... What do you mean?"
