Shangguan Jing heard someone talking in a daze.
"Your Majesty, Ying Hao has something to report. When I passed by Youshan today, I found that someone was resurrecting a monster and doing whatever they wanted. When I looked carefully, I found that the man in black and the monster captured a woman, but... ..." Ying Hao considered whether to continue talking. After all, more than three thousand years have passed since that incident.
"Continue." The man sitting in the high position said slowly.
"That woman looks quite like Fairy Jinghan!" Ying Hao didn't dare to look up at Ze Yu, for fear that he would be punished for this incident.
Ze Yu opened his eyes and was silent for a long time, with a strange light shining in his eyes. Then he said to Ying Hao: "Where is that woman now?"
"The man in black and the monster have been dealt with by his subordinates, and the woman has been placed in the wing to rest, and is now in a coma." Ying Hao bowed.
"Well, please step back first."
"Yes." Ying Hao left the hall.
He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the night outside the window, feeling a surge of complicated emotions in his heart.
Shangguan Jing, who was in the side room, was sweating slightly on his forehead, then he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. She looked carefully at this unfamiliar wing. It was exquisitely decorated and filled with a fresh fragrance.
She wondered if she wasn't picking netherworld grass and why she ended up in this place. Shangguan Jing thought to himself that everything here was so strange, so it was better to be careful. She suddenly heard footsteps outside the door and quickly lay down and continued to pretend to sleep.
Ze Yu opened the door and looked at Shangguan Jing who was sleeping soundly on the bed. Her face was as delicate as white jade, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her cheeks. An inexplicable emotion surged in his heart, both familiar and unfamiliar. He gently touched her face with his hands, his heart filled with love. He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her forehead gently, then turned and left the room.
Shangguan Jing opened his eyes with relief when he heard the sound of the door being closed. This man was so strange. He took advantage of me before I had even met him. How could he be such a slut? It was really rude.
She opened the door carefully and saw the moonlight shining like water in the courtyard, everything seemed so peaceful. She looked around and found a hall not far away, so she decided to go and investigate.
Late at night, demon soldiers wearing black armor and holding long knives patrolled the long street. They scanned the surroundings from time to time, alert for any suspicious movements. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up and stirred up the dust on the long street. The leading demon soldier immediately became alert. He clenched the long knife in his hand, preparing to deal with any possible threats.
"Meow~" A black wild cat scurried across the long street.
"It turns out to be a wild cat. Don't be so nervous. End the patrol as soon as possible and go back to bed early." Another magic soldier patted his shoulder.
"Yes, it seems I'm too sleepy." After saying that, he yawned, and a group of magic soldiers continued to patrol forward.
Shangguan Jing hurriedly left the long street when the demon soldiers relaxed their vigilance. She carefully avoided the patrolling demon soldiers and finally walked to the front of the main hall.
She saw that the windows of the main hall were closed, but there was a small hole in the window. She poked the small hole curiously and found that she could see the inside of the hall through it. She raised her eyes to the small hole and saw that the hall was brightly lit. Ze Yu was sitting on a high seat, his eyes closed and deep in thought. His brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something important.
When she was about to leave, a black wild cat suddenly jumped out of the grass next to her and pounced on her. She was so frightened that she quickly ducked to the side, but the wild cat followed closely and jumped away. Shangguan Jing's bracelet shone in the moonlight, and the wild cat was attracted by the light. It curiously grabbed the bracelet with its paws. Shangguan Jing quickly protected the bracelet, and then the wild cat pounced on her again. She avoided it in panic, and suddenly felt her feet slip and she fell to the ground. There was a huge noise outside the hall. Ze Yu opened his eyes and looked out the window. Under the candlelight, the figure of a woman was looming.
"Who is over there!" The patrolling demon soldiers heard the voice and followed it.
Shangguan Jing was shocked and looked around, but the wild cat was still chasing her. What should she do?
Suddenly, she felt like the world was spinning. She was held by Ze Yu's waist, and she was completely wrapped in his broad back. She didn't dare to breathe, and when she heard the voices of the demon soldiers getting closer and closer, she felt extremely anxious.
"Your Majesty." The leader of the demon soldiers couldn't help but bow when they saw Ze Yu.
"What are you doing here?" Ze Yu said calmly.
"You heard the noise here and rushed here. You disturbed the Lord's rest. Please punish me." A group of demon soldiers knelt down and bowed in response.
"It's just a wild cat." Ze Yu drove the wild cat to the magic soldiers, "Send it to the wild, and you can retreat."
"Yes!" The demon soldier never dared to look up at Ze Yu, silently carrying the wild cat and leaving.
After the demon soldiers left, Ze Yu turned around and looked at Shangguan Jing. She was leaning against him tightly, her eyes full of fear and uneasiness.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
Only then did Shangguan Jing realize that she had been sticking to this strange man and quickly distanced herself from him.
