The Eighth Night, the Thirteenth Night of Destiny

Why do I seem to have no aversion to the term "lover"...

I helplessly advised, "Huang Mingxi treats me very well, and I am just an ordinary person, of no value for exploitation at all!"

"I will just be very weak, but that doesn't necessarily mean something will happen to me, does it?" I said, pretending to be relaxed as I ruffled Liuli's hair, "I will definitely 'come back', trust me."

I rarely indulge in the arts, but what I truly wish to convey is this: you and Ji Youran have each lost a teacher and a friend, respectively, which is far more tragic than my own situation. In comparison, I find myself less indignant.

Ah! How could I have forgotten about this method! Ji Youran suddenly realized

Ji Youran's expression darkened as he murmured, "Your teacher... is such an upright person. When I entrusted Yulinglong to him for safekeeping, he promised that he would never let Yulinglong come to any harm. In the end, he refused to consume Yulinglong until his death; he fulfilled his promise... However, he... Regardless, none of this has anything to do with the master... Do not blame him unjustly." When I entrusted Yulinglong to him for safekeeping, he promised that he would never let Yulinglong come to any harm. In the end, he refused to consume Yulinglong until his death; he fulfilled his promise... However, he... Regardless, none of this has anything to do with the master... Do not blame him unjustly.

I can only reluctantly say: "I can't really say I hate you! When I didn't know the reason, I was quite resentful towards both of you. I was just an innocent bystander, yet you... However, after learning the truth, even though I felt like tears were about to flow, I still think that since the event has already occurred, let it pass with the wind..."

Wait a moment, my head is still a bit dizzy. What do you mean by saying that as soon as I wake up, Huang Mingxi cannot wake up? What kind of tongue twister is this? I don't understand it at all

No! Your body has become strong because of the jade bellflower. If you remove the jade bellflower, your muscles, heart, and bones will atrophy due to the loss of strength. You will not be able to endure the process of becoming an ordinary person again; you will be extremely weak

Am I the one who wants to lose my temper? Am I also the one who wants to cry? You all know that I am a human about to become a hunter, yet you keep me in the dark, making me think I am an unfortunate soul about to become a bloodline. Although I feel relieved that I will not become a bloodline, becoming a hunter is not much better! The inability to control my own body is truly terrifying! Although I feel relieved that I will not become a bloodline, becoming a hunter is not much better! The inability to control my own body is truly terrifying!

However, I can only lie down honestly.

Ji Youran paused for a moment, allowing me to digest what he had said, and then, with a troubled expression, continued to explain: "Moreover, the hunters who consume Yu Linglong are the destined nemeses of our bloodline royalty. Once the blood of the hunter awakens, you will fight against the master, with neither side able to rest until the other is vanquished. And the master is the last member of our bloodline royalty. After your battle, if one side awakens, it signifies the fall of the other. I once thought: rather than allowing you to become a hunter and return to confront the master, it would be better to have you by the master's side before you transform into a hunter... After your battle, if one side awakens, it signifies the fall of the other. I once thought: rather than allowing you to become a hunter and return to confront the master, it would be better to have you by the master's side before you transform into a hunter... The most important thing is that treating you as the master of the bloodline will surely help you... Once a bond is formed between you, you should not harm the master... On one hand, I hope you can grow close to the master, yet on the other hand, I must remain vigilant of you, which is truly a headache... However, I did not expect that when you went to catch fireflies, you left a bruise on the master's wrist, causing the master to begin to doubt your identity... On one hand, I hope you can grow close to the master, yet on the other hand, I must remain vigilant of you, which is truly a headache... However, I did not expect that when you went to catch fireflies, you left a bruise on the master's wrist, causing the master to begin to doubt your identity. Because the master possesses the most noble royal bloodline, almost no one, except for hunters, can leave a mark on him... I could not hide it from the master, so I had no choice but to reveal your true identity to him... The master said that you are simply unable to resist the control of Yu Linglong, and keeping you by the side of the powerful bloodline would instead awaken your hunter instincts. Therefore, he arranged for you to have other accommodations and decided never to meet with you again." Because the master possesses the most noble royal bloodline, almost no one, except for hunters, can leave a mark on him... I could not hide it from the master, so I had no choice but to reveal your true identity to him... The master said that you are simply unable to resist the control of Yu Linglong, and keeping you by the side of the powerful bloodline would instead awaken your hunter instincts. Therefore, he arranged for you to have other accommodations and decided never to meet with you again.

"It is possible." Luo Sheng continued to nod expressionlessly

However, no matter how I struggle, an invisible barrier firmly keeps my body and Huang Mingxi together, and I cannot approach my own body, only able to wander around.

This is truly despicable

By the way, many people come to visit me every day! There are Ji Youran, Liu Li, Mo Li, and many other classmates. Originally, it seems that Huang Mingxi also came to see me before, but at that time my "sensitivity" was not very keen, and I could not discern whether it was really him.

It seems to confirm my suspicion, as Huang Mingxi suddenly let out a faint moan and then collapsed softly onto the ground

Is it really impossible to change fate? Ji Youran did not know when he had also come over. Although he looked disheveled, the feeling of being suppressed to the point of almost being unable to move had disappeared.

Wuwuwu... ... Huh? Oh my! Has your consciousness returned to your body?" Luo Sheng glanced at me with tearful eyes and suddenly jumped up in shock

Huang Mingxi, if heaven grants us a little more time together, perhaps I would come to like you

Otherwise... shall we give it a try?" Luo Sheng suggested hesitantly

I was taken aback and quickly lowered my head to feel my clothes and the hard floor, huh? I have really returned

Oh dear, my head is spinning! I sat up from the ground, holding my buzzing head.

It is frustrating that after my hearing had completely "recovered," that guy never showed up again, which left me feeling down for quite a while

Do you truly care about him, this group of people... Is it not a bit too late to be concerned about his health now

Ji Youran looked at me with a complex expression for a long time and explained: "Yulinglong has another magical effect, which is that after consuming it, one transforms into a human hunter, exuding a scent akin to that of bloodline. The master truly did not know you were a hunter before. Upon seeing you, he was reminded of his former self, and since you were once human, it evokes memories of his past, leading him to subconsciously want to help you... The master has always been gentle towards humans; I just wanted to take a gamble. Upon seeing you, he was reminded of his former self, and since you were once human, it evokes memories of his past, leading him to subconsciously want to help you... The master has always been gentle towards humans; I just wanted to take a gamble..."

I continue to sleep soundly, with a slight doubt about where I am.

I am truly worried about Huang Mingxi's current situation, but why do I have a desire to just ignore him and hit someone first

I dreamt of the scene when I first met Emperor Mingxi, dreaming of his adorable smile, and dreaming of his gentle expression when he finally embraced me

No, perhaps that beloved seed has already sprouted

"Stop talking! Hurry up and think of a way to stop the bleeding!" I anxiously floated around Huang Mingxi.

Ji Youran and Ji Liuli seem to be suppressed by some invisible force; at this moment, they are lying on the ground, their eyes wide open, yet unable to utter a single word

But can you make me "wake up"? It is really uncomfortable to be "asleep" all the time

Ji Youran and Liuli both exclaimed at the same time

Huang Mingxi said: Luosheng was a human being one thousand years ago

I only feel that I have slept for a long time, I really want to move a bit, I also want to speak, and even more, I want to open my eyes to see the outside world

Luo Sheng immediately followed and forcefully pushed me aside, tearfully accusing me: "It is all your fault. Why did you have to wake up? Now that you are awake, the young master cannot wake up!"

"There is no precedent... so... I don't know..." Ji Youran hesitated for a moment and answered honestly

I realize that this is merely a process of saving Emperor Mingxi, and no matter how painful it is, I still feel very happy

"Huang Mingxi, if it weren't for your butler's insistence on obtaining Yu Linglong, which led to the death of my teacher's entire family, I would not have involved innocent bystanders. My teacher is the benefactor who saved my life; he raised me, taught me, and gave me a home. His kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain, yet you..." Luo Sheng's voice grew increasingly agitated, and towards the end, he even choked up. The cold boy suddenly appeared a bit pitiful. "My father and mother died to protect you! Even if you have become a bloodline, I do not hate you! At that time, you had no choice, and... you have indeed done many things for humanity. But! Are you unwilling to leave me even a home? Young Master!"... But! Are you unwilling to leave me even a home? Young Master!"

I hesitantly pointed at myself

Long live

Wuwuwu... uh! Luo Sheng and Liu Li abruptly stifled their sobs, staring blankly at me.

I was taken aback. Indeed, who would casually take in a mortal enemy by their side? Could it be that they hope I will kill him? ... Surely not ...

"It's done! You are alive, and the young master is doomed!" Luo Sheng spoke incoherently, gesturing wildly, not knowing what he was trying to express.

Gazing at the intricate and magnificent patterns on the gemstone, my heart felt as if it were being seized by something; in an instant, my blood ceased to flow, and I even forgot to breathe

After experiencing the initial panic, I gradually noticed that the conversation between Luo Sheng and Huang Mingxi was somewhat strange

I anxiously paced around Huang Mingxi, wanting to comfort him but not knowing how to begin

On the first night, I spent almost the entire time in a daze, my body feeling as if it had been crushed by a heavy object, enduring unbearable pain. I fainted from the excruciating agony, occasionally waking up again in the midst of the torment. I longed to open my eyes to see the condition of Huang Mingxi, but I could not lift my heavy eyelids, and I would soon faint again from the inability to withstand the intense pain

I no longer believe in friendship

Perhaps..." Luo Sheng suddenly clapped his hands, as if recalling something very important, "Perhaps the situation is not as serious as you imagine!

"Cutting the grass without removing the roots, the spring breeze blows and it grows again." Luo Sheng, unfazed, squinted his eyes and said, "Huang Mingxi, I once thought you would rather lose your life than submit to the bloodline, but I did not expect... I am too disappointed in you."

Therefore, Huang Mingxi has always been considering my well-being. He must not have anticipated that so many events would unfold today; otherwise, with his "autocratic" personality, he certainly would not have allowed me to accompany them to the temple fair

Unable to do anything, I could only watch them anxiously from the side

Thinking of Ji Youran and Liuli, I suddenly shivered... Could it be that this guy has always been contemplating "taking his own life"...? But recalling his smile, which is more dazzling than diamonds, and his angry expression, as well as his feigned serious demeanor... it is hard to see him as someone who has "seen through the worldly affairs"...

Just as I was lost in my thoughts, a strange pulling force suddenly came from behind me. Before I could react, I felt myself being yanked backward by something. After a violent impact, I sat up, feeling dizzy and holding my head.

Am I inexplicably turned into a hunter due to a misunderstanding? There really isn't any conspiracy, right? ... If the truth is just a misunderstanding ... ! ... That would be too ridiculous!

Huang Mingxi's care for me is genuine and heartfelt, he has always been the Huang Mingxi I know, gentle, kind, with the most beautiful and warmest smile in the world

Is he talking to me

The surrounding air seems to be distorted as if being pulled by someone

He must be unable to confront Huang Mingxi directly, which is why he wants to buy time! Huang Mingxi, too! What is the point of wasting words against his own enemy!

I took a closer look at my body—shortly after I lost consciousness, I felt my body becoming very light, as if it were floating upwards. When I regained my senses, I realized that "I" had already left my body and was hovering in mid-air

With a bloodline like yours present, how could I possibly harm other bloodlines

I have heard the teacher say that the jade linglong, once consumed, will not be digested, allowing it to be retrieved using the magic of the bloodline. Moreover, its 'rebirth' power is not limited to just once; it will only disappear when its energy is completely exhausted. Since the young master is a powerful bloodline descendant, he will certainly be able to endure the weakness that follows the removal of the jade linglong. Therefore, we can make it so that after using the jade linglong to heal the young master's injuries, we can immediately retrieve the jade linglong and feed it to Cha Ye, thus saving both of them

This ritual needs to last for 13 nights!" Ji Youran reluctantly told me, "Before extracting the jade bell, you must first imprint a kiss on the master's chest and silently make a vow of 'shared life.' If a mark appears on the master's chest, it means... cough, the master has accepted your vow. Then I will use magic to extract the jade bell from your body, allowing it to heal the master's wounds. Due to the vow of shared life, you may experience great pain, but there will be no danger to your life. Once the master has recovered, I will return the jade bell to your body, and you will soon be full of vitality!"

Aren't you the same?" Ji Youran let out a cold laugh, "You have no family, and even your only teacher is gone, so you are fearless and have no attachments. Otherwise, how could you involve innocent humans? The you of the past was clear about grievances and grudges; even if you were in pain, you never dragged others into it... This is what your teacher said, in his heart, you have always been a good child... This is what your teacher said, in his heart, you have always been a good child...

Wuwuwu... Teacher..." He cried out, holding his head in a neurotic manner, as if he had escaped from a mental hospital, "Wuwuwu, the teacher is gone! Now I only have the young master as my remaining family!"

As the conversation progressed, Ji Youran appeared increasingly dejected

What are you crying for! Can crying solve any problems! Everyone shut up! The crying, like a demonic sound echoing in my ears, shattered my last nerve, and I could no longer endure it, so I shouted out in frustration

As soon as the words fell, Luo Sheng rushed to Ji Youran like a gust of wind. He raised the demon-slaying gem in anger, his crimson eyes brimming with sorrow and hatred: "You are lying!"

He suddenly frowned and coughed once, then asked with a glimmer of hope: "Not all bloodlines are malevolent; those who survive by draining human life energy have long been expelled from the Bloodline Kingdom and have mostly been dealt with by hunters. The current bloodlines no longer harm humans... Even so, do you still insist on carrying out your decision—to kill all bloodlines?"

"Will it die?" I interrupted the anxious Ji Youran.

Jiyouran and I exchanged glances with each other

Oh? Is it possible that Chaye is going to become our princess? No way!" Liuli exclaimed in shock, covering her mouth.

I am not foolish at all

"Do you... do you hate me...?" Suddenly, the ethereal Luo Sheng asked me a question.

It seems that they can no longer be relied upon

"Let them become lovers!" Luo Sheng said nonchalantly, "They can forge a pact of shared life, sharing each other's existence. This is the highest vow that neither the bloodline nor the hunter can resist. In this way, the setting of 'natural enemies' can be automatically nullified!"

The boy named Luo Sheng frowned in displeasure, impatiently raising his chin and mocking, "Yes, a long time ago I was 'clear about good and evil' and saved a seemingly weak and pitiful bloodline. And what happened? That bloodline suddenly went mad and killed all my relatives. If it weren't for a hunter passing by, I wouldn't be alive today. Since then, I vowed to become a hunter who would eradicate all evil bloodlines, and I will never allow the same tragedy to happen to others again! Am I wrong for doing this? Huang Mingxi!"

"No! Tea Night! Lord Huang does this in hopes that you can be a happy and ordinary girl!" Liu Li said seriously, "Before Lord Huang became a bloodline, his family and friends were killed by the brutal bloodlines. In order to prevent such a tragedy from happening again, he chose to become a bloodline and changed the way bloodlines exist. Now, he feels that his mission has been accomplished, so he is willing to face his fate calmly. But you are different; you still have parents and friends, and you cannot abandon them!" Now, he feels that his mission has been accomplished, so he is willing to face his fate calmly. But you are different; you still have parents and friends, and you cannot abandon them!

He has done many things for many people, yet he has never done a single thing for himself

Dear Mom and Dad, what will you think when you learn that I have become a hunter? Will you rush back to visit me immediately?

Then what are we waiting for! Let's start right now!" Liuli said eagerly, "The Lord Emperor has been unconscious for a long time!"

So... is it only when I rush home that I will see the scene of the teacher taking his last breath in your arms? Hahaha! Do you think I would believe that?" Luo Sheng's eyes gradually filled with tears as he shouted angrily, "Aren't you the teacher's friend? Why didn't you give the teacher Yu Linglong to eat! Then the teacher wouldn't have died!

Liuli also came over, kneeling beside Huang Mingxi with a sorrowful expression, sobbing as she said: "Wuwuwu, I originally thought that by keeping it from both of you and making you good friends, the tragedy would not unfold! Who would have known, wuwuwu..."

"No..." Ji Youran struggled to say, "It's not like that... Your teacher simply passed away of natural causes; I did not cause their death..."

That person simply does not speak, nor do they make any other movements; they just repeatedly help me brush aside the stray hair by my cheek.

Lying on the ground, Liuli also exerted herself to sit up and said: "Your Excellency the Emperor believes that he is neither a true bloodline nor can he revert to being human. He has long grown weary of his prolonged life. If it were not for the appearance of Chaye, even if you were standing before him now to fight, he would probably not resist."

Answer my question. I don't know if Luo Sheng has become more stubborn due to being too greatly provoked; his tone is fierce, as if to say that if you do not answer the question, he will just stand by and watch.

You are so wonderful that I love everything about you, including all your kin.

"Yulinglong can save him, right?" Scenes from the past flashed through my mind, and my heart suddenly felt clear. I thought to myself, I know what I should do.

"You all say that you are not at fault, so am I the one who is wrong?" Luo Shengmu straightened up in a daze, "It is because I took away Yu Linglong that the teacher left me..."

You! I pointed at Ji Youran with great intensity and said, "Explain to me clearly, what on earth is going on!"

However... Oh heavens! I do not wish to accept such a foolish mistress at all!" Ji Youran lamented dismally.

Since the matter has already occurred, it is too late to regret it. However, can you all resolve the current issue first

My body appears as if it is asleep, lying flat behind Huang Mingxi

Is the blood in Huang Mingxi's body almost drained? Ji Youran also seems to have sustained serious injuries! And Luo Sheng! It is quite terrifying to talk to oneself! And me! Who will come to help me return to my body?

His shoulders gradually relaxed, and his stern expression slowly filled with sorrow

It sounds like... it could be feasible

"Huang Mingxi?" I called out his name with a sense of guilt, my hands and feet completely unsure of how to position themselves, and I could barely feel his breath; I didn't dare to move him at all

Luo Sheng slowly nodded his head

"Then quickly turn me back! Huang Mingxi has already fainted! Is he going to be alright?" I said, stamping my foot in dissatisfaction.

The pale green blood splattered, and Ji Youran let out a cry of extreme pain

I quietly tell you that as long as I concentrate, I can even hear the sound of ants crawling nearby

It seems there is the sound of a stream flowing with a gurgling noise, and it also seems like someone is speaking.

My complicated feelings have vanished without a trace due to the ever-changing emotions of Luo Sheng

On the fifth night, I could feel someone beside me

However, is it really acceptable that you do not consult Huang Mingxi's opinion at all

Luo Sheng fittingly began a duet with Liu Li, singing: "Wuwuwu..."

"Luo Sheng..." Huang Mingxi called his name with a heavy heart

"This won't do! The tea night will still turn into a hunt, and they will still 'kill each other'!" Liuli exclaimed in distress.

Huang Mingxi stood in front of me, confronting Luosheng.

On the fourth night, I began to hear voices beside me, though they were not very clear

Do they know each other

Has my soul left my body without permission

This person is truly something! Have they watched too much of "Palace Intrigue"? The world is not that treacherous!

That voice, like weeping and lamenting, seems to be expressing a heart full of deep affection

Oh dear, this person is truly strange. Do they not realize that this can easily wake up someone who is "asleep"?

Before I "fell asleep," I couldn't help but shed tears of emotion

Even if he is of royal blood or a prince, he cannot withstand continuous bleeding! Regardless of the creature, excessive blood loss poses a danger to life!

How could he know that Luo Sheng was once a human?

... ...

Although the person I like the least among several is Ji Youran, he appears to be the most normal one at present

The stone that had been hanging in my heart has finally been set down

I rushed over anxiously, only to be bounced back by that detestable barrier, nearly causing me to tumble head over heels

The two characters "teacher" seem to possess a magical power, gradually calming the obstinate Luo Sheng down.

Alas! My head hurts! My heart is so tired!

No wonder they hold a reverent admiration for Huang Mingxi that can be described as "blind"; no wonder I nearly went mad that summer night during the festival due to the "tense atmosphere" created by everyone.

Huang Mingxi seems to be gravely injured, with green blood continuously flowing without cessation

I was so excited that I sprang to my feet like a carp leaping out of the water

However, these sounds are quite vague, as if they are coming through several walls.

Do you not doubt him?" Luo Sheng pointed at the pale-faced Huang Mingxi, "Do you not suspect that this is actually a conspiracy, and that you and I... have both been deceived by them?

Moreover, it seems that no one has noticed my "out-of-body experience"; regardless of how I speak or move, no one is aware of my presence

It is truly too noisy! Liuli is much better to me; she cleared her throat, silencing everyone's remarks, and said: "This matter has already been settled. When Tea Ye wakes up, he will return with us to the Bloodline Kingdom!"

By the way, did I forget to mention to you? Whether it is Jasmine or other students from Rose Academy, they are all official citizens of the Bloodline Kingdom

You can see me! I jumped up

Luo Sheng is no longer so annoying, but rather evokes a sense of pity; Ji Youran is no longer so disliked, but instead elicits a feeling of deep regret

A bright red gem extended a transparent blade at its tip, radiating a sacred silver light, and suddenly pierced into Ji Youran's right chest

Could this be Ji Youran's scheme? Otherwise, how could Luo Sheng, who initially displayed such a fierce demeanor, suddenly transform into a brainwashed lunatic, crying uncontrollably? This does not align with the archetype of a villain

Because my suffering is not without value

The Sixth Night

The Seventh Night

Seeing his sad expression, my heart felt as if it had been pierced by a needle, causing me great discomfort. I tried hard to get closer to Huang Mingxi, but no matter how hard I tried, I could not touch the hem of his garment. An invisible barrier stood between him and me, preventing me from approaching him.

Moreover, the originally detestable Luo Sheng and the seemingly particularly cunning and despicable Ji Youran appeared to have been instantly redeemed

Mom and Dad, and also Huang Mingxi, I really miss you all! The thirteenth night is truly so long!

"So, are you going to kill me too?" A thick layer of sorrow gradually enveloped the red eyes of Huang Mingxi, which had turned red at some unknown time.

"I feel sorrow for you, Luosheng." The voice of Huang Mingxi was neither hurried nor slow, exuding an awe-inspiring authority. "A thousand years ago, you were clearly an ordinary human with a clear sense of right and wrong, yet now you have become a hunter who acts without questioning the reasons."

Master

On the third night, I was continuously dreaming

However, they are already struggling to protect themselves and are currently unable to move at all

I stared blankly at the few people in front of me, unable to articulate the feelings within me

I thought in a daze: the ability to hear sounds means I am still alive, I can still see my parents, and I can still see Huang Mingxi... How wonderful it is

Before I fell asleep, I heard a familiar voice say: "What a silly girl..."

You are truly a very gentle and kind person, and you make me feel that the bloodline is a very lovely existence

This so-called hunter of Luo Sheng is truly baffling! First, he used some strange magic to control me and harmed Emperor Mingxi, and now he is engaging in idle chatter with the injured Emperor Mingxi. Is he trying to exhaust Emperor Mingxi's strength and then take advantage of the situation?

"Who are you talking to?" Ji Youran cast a puzzled glance at us. It was evident that he could not see me, yet he immediately expressed his dissatisfaction with Luo Sheng's words, "Wasn't the master once your young master? Do you not understand him? Do you think he willingly became a bloodline? When he was on the brink of death, he sought out our bloodline's king and negotiated with him. He helped the king eliminate the radicals within the bloodline, sought alternatives for the life energy of the bloodline, and freed the bloodline from the perilous situation of being enemies with humans. If it were not for him, the bloodline would still be feeding on human life energy, and you hunters would not be living so leisurely. When he was on the brink of death, he sought out our bloodline's king and negotiated with him. He helped the king eliminate the radicals within the bloodline, sought alternatives for the life energy of the bloodline, and freed the bloodline from the perilous situation of being enemies with humans. If it were not for him, the bloodline would still be feeding on human life energy, and you hunters would not be living so leisurely. Moreover... the master has grown weary of the long life; he does not care how long he can live..."

Moreover, the current situation of Huang Mingxi is truly dire. At such a critical juncture, if I were to offend the only person present who is unscathed, would I not be courting death?

Everything has finally received a reasonable explanation

I, Ji Youran, and Liuli immediately looked at him with anticipation

I leaped forward in a single bound and landed on the floor with a thud

However, upon his mention, I immediately recalled the scene of Emperor Mingxi fainting on the ground

Speaking of which! Huang Mingxi is truly something; what on earth is he thinking? When he says he is "disenchanted with life," I really can't see it!

Usually, those who visit me come at staggered times, but today it seems that there are quite a few visitors. I am surrounded by people, and everyone is chattering away.

Oh God! He is about to be dyed into a mass of green pickled vegetables by his own blood!

Huang Mingxi's body swayed slightly, almost toppling over straight down

His fair complexion turned even paler, revealing a terrifying grayish hue. He appeared extremely weak, as if he would faint at any moment, yet he made a concerted effort to stand upright, his gaze cold and piercing as he looked at the silver-haired boy

Uh... I unconsciously blushed

What exactly is wrong

Although the process was very smooth, the pain involved exceeded my expectations

Hmph..." Luo Sheng let out a cold laugh, "This does not prove that he took in Cha Ye without any ulterior motives. Who would take in a 'natural enemy' for no reason?

However, while I was anxiously pacing back and forth, Huang Mingxi and Luo Sheng were strangely looking at each other in silence ... Truly, it is the emperor who is not anxious, but the eunuchs who are anxious ... ... Ugh ... ... A slip of the tongue !

Luo Sheng stared blankly at Huang Mingxi for a while, then sighed and said: "As long as you are still of the bloodline, I will never coexist with you in this world."

On the thirteenth night, I am certain that I am merely "sleeping," although I am unable to move, speak, or open my eyes, I can clearly feel the things beside me and hear the sounds around me

Huang Mingxi clutched his chest, and the emerald green blood flowed continuously like a stream of jade, spilling out from between his fingers.

Your Excellency

Why did Huang Mingxi's gaze towards Luo Sheng appear so sorrowful

just like being betrayed by the closest person

Is it really that my intelligence is too low, to the extent that I cannot immediately understand the meaning behind their words

The atmosphere between the two suddenly became eerie. I glanced at the silver-haired boy, Luo Sheng, who wore a look of lament, and then at the sorrowful face of Huang Mingxi, completely unable to comprehend the situation.

Is it really like this...

Liuli anxiously grasped my hand: "Tea Ye, do not act recklessly! If something were to happen to you, the Emperor would surely be saddened!"

I was so frightened that I lost my composure and immediately began to burrow into my own body

I floated in mid-air, helplessly watching the events unfold beneath me

In summary, just as the expression on Huang Mingxi's face grew increasingly pale and I became more anxious, Luo Sheng suddenly produced a demon-exorcising gem from behind him that was larger than his own head, as if by magic

This is indeed a solution that brings joy to all!" Luo Sheng said with his nostrils in the air, proudly stating, "Did you not say that tea at night is the motivation for the young master to survive?"

However, he did not back down; he gritted his teeth and resisted the intense pain, then took a deep breath and explained with difficulty: "Whether it is a hunter or a fairy, there comes a time when life reaches its end... It is just that we always maintain the appearance of our youth, which gives people the illusion that we will never grow old and die... Your teacher, he is also my friend... And the jade bell you fed to Cha Ye... is actually a family heirloom of mine... It is said that the jade bell can turn an ordinary person into the most formidable hunter... In fact, the jade bell has another little-known function, which is to allow life to begin anew— that is... rebirth... Your teacher... he is already very old... He can no longer continue to safeguard the jade bell... and he is also worried that you would be left alone and helpless, so he entrusted the jade bell to you, asking you to take care of it... rebirth... Your teacher... he is already very old... He can no longer continue to safeguard the jade bell... and he is also worried that you would be left alone and helpless, so he entrusted the jade bell to you, asking you to take care of it... He told you that many bloodline descendants covet it... and let you leave, so that you would not have to endure the pain of separation and death... Even at the moment of his passing... he still could not rest easy about you and entrusted me to look after you... Who would have thought that you would return to find your teacher with the jade bell at the most inopportune time... Even at the moment of his passing... he still could not rest easy about you and entrusted me to look after you... Who would have thought that you would return to find your teacher with the jade bell at the most inopportune time... The result is what you have seen."

"It’s alright, Liuli," I said, gently holding Liuli's small hand and smiling. "When I was at my most helpless, he took me in. We were merely strangers who crossed paths, yet he selflessly helped me. After learning that I was his 'natural enemy,' the first thing he thought of was to ensure my safety. He has always been concerned about me, and now it is time for me to do something for him."

On the second night, I only "woke up" once. My head ached, and the duration of my consciousness was very brief, so brief that it seemed I only had time to hear one or two calls of the nightingale

Ji Youran looked over in confusion, realizing that he was not speaking to her, and then redirected her attention to Huang Mingxi.
