Baili Duyue was naturally not afraid that there might be any strange poison on this small ball of paper. He just noticed Sang Feiwan's slightly strange expression, and doubts quietly arose in his heart, and his eyes darkened for a moment.
The small piece of paper was spinning around under Baili Duyue's fingertips, becoming more and more deflated, and the force was revealed invisibly. Sang Feiwan didn't dare to show any abnormality, so he could only fall back on the couch, pull Baili Du into his arms, and whispered in a jealous voice: "What's so good about a piece of torn paper? The city lord would rather look at me than it."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed the earlobe of the person in his arms, which was a sensitive spot for the other person.
Baili Duyue's body trembled, and he lost all his strength. Seeing this, Sang Feiwan took advantage of the situation and turned his head towards him, kissing him more deeply, and then they rolled into a ball on the bed.
Baili Duyue's eyes were red, and he groaned lazily, his voice hoarse: "Don't mess around..."
The other party obviously wouldn't listen to him.
As the night rolled on, Sang Feiwan slowly grasped Baili Duyue's fingertips, and while the other party was in a state of confusion and passion, he wanted to quietly take the paper ball away, but he pulled it twice but it didn't move. He noticed something strange and subconsciously raised his head, but he was caught off guard by a pair of deep and sharp eyes, and his body couldn't help but pause.
"… "
Baili Duyue stared at Sang Feiwan quietly in the darkness, his eyes were clear without any trace of confusion.
Seeing this, Sang Feiwan subconsciously let go of her hand, feeling inexplicably embarrassed as if she had been caught doing something bad.
Baili Duyue held the paper ball expressionlessly, slowly turning it over and over between his fingertips, and asked without any emotion: "Do you know what's written on it?"
Sang Feiwan paused: "…I don't know."
Baili Duyue asked again: "Do you want it?"
Sang Feiwan asked back: "Does the city lord want to see it?"
Baili Duyue wanted to read it, but he didn't want to read it. Seeing Sang Feiwan's abnormal expression, he knew that there must be something written on it that he didn't want to see, but he didn't open it. Instead, he slowly clenched his fingertips and asked an irrelevant question: "Do you remember what the city lord said to you in the dungeon that day..."
His voice was cold and chilly, like a poisonous snake slowly sliding across the skin, with cold scales and no warmth at all.
Sang Feiwan said nothing.
Baili Duyue slowly approached his ear upon seeing this, and spoke in a low voice, like a hazy blood mist, elusive, yet with a faint smell of blood: "Since you are by my side, don't think about leaving..."
The hand that was clenching the paper ball moved, making a crackling sound that made one's teeth ache in the dark. He wrote lightly, word by word:
"If you dare to leave, I will catch you and lock you up until you die..."
After Baili Duyue finished speaking, he slowly spread out his fingertips in front of Sang Feiwan, only to see that his palm was empty and the paper ball had disappeared.
The corners of his lips slowly curved up: "I won't look at it now. It won't be too late to look at it when I return to Cangdu..."
The cage here is not pretty.
He was not satisfied...
Even Baili Duyue himself probably didn't realize that his smile was very ugly. It was like when you were drinking water and suddenly found a poison needle hidden in the cup. You shouldn't drink it, but you are at the end of your rope and can only drink poison to quench your thirst. You swallowed the poison and the needle.
Like a fishbone stuck in the throat...
Sang Feiwan lowered his eyes upon hearing this, and his gaze fell on Baili Duyue's palm. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the other's fingertips seemed to be trembling faintly. He didn't know what he was thinking, and slowly held Baili Duyue's cold hand, which felt like ice.
what to do
Sang Feiwan felt that he wanted to confess and get a lighter sentence even more. But how should he say it? I used to be Fu Yuhao's die-hard licker, and he sent me to be your undercover agent, but now I want to defect to your side
That's too much.
For the first time, Sang Feiwan felt that telling the truth was so difficult. He noticed Baili Duyue's tense muscles, hesitated for a moment, and pulled him into his arms. He rubbed Baili Duyue's fingertips gently, as if he was trying to warm a frozen person, trying to make him relax:
"The city lord only remembers one sentence,"
Sang Feiwan always knew what Baili Duyue cared about most.
"I will stay with the city lord every step of the way. Even if I am buried in the ground in the future, my body will be buried in the same place..."
Live together, die together.
No matter what the reason was that forced Sang Feiwan to say this, whether it was the system or the mission, it was undeniable that he really couldn't leave Baili Duyue.
The system tied the two of them together.
Maybe there's more than just a system, there's also a novel.
But maybe there is more to it than just fiction...
It was a very subtle feeling, Sang Feiwan couldn't explain it. He only knew that when he held Baili Duyue in his arms, the air became quiet, and at a certain moment, their heartbeats reached the same rhythm.
With Sang Feiwan's comfort, Baili Duyue's figure finally stopped being as tense and ready as before. But it was more like the calm sea surface had pressed all the undercurrents into the depths, making it difficult to see clearly.
Time passes by little by little.
When it was time to turn off the lights and go to bed in the second half of the night, the sound of guards changing shifts suddenly rang out from outside. Baili Duyue closed his eyes and listened for a moment, then slowly opened his eyes and said to Sang Feiwan, "The imperial capital is heavily guarded, with two Tianyan realm masters, Qingming and Taixuan, in charge. They take turns guarding the palace gate day and night, and they take over at midnight every night. There is a one-stick-long window in between that can be used to take advantage of the situation."
As long as they are not discovered by these two, ordinary guards are no match for Baili Duyue.
Sang Feiwan had wanted to leave for a long time. Upon hearing this, he immediately got up from the bed and walked out of the palace gate with Baili Duyue.
There was no moon tonight, and the sky was overcast. Baili Duyue cast a spell to capture the soul, immobilized the guards outside, and led Sang Feiwan directly to the north gate. The team brought from Cangdu was stationed outside the city. As long as they joined them, the people in the imperial capital would not dare to stop them even if they found out.
At that time, the lights in the emperor and concubine's bedroom were still on.
A beautiful lady in palace dress sat quietly in front of the makeup mirror, letting the maid slowly remove the tasseled gold leaf crown from her hair. Her black hair was loose, as soft as silk. The maid combed her hair carefully, and unexpectedly found a little more silver hair on her head. She whispered to remind her: "Empress, you should soak your hair with black sandalwood juice tomorrow, otherwise it may not be able to suppress the original hair color."
The imperial concubine was indifferent and only hummed: "Where is my golden phoenix crown holding pearls? Bring it here."
She seemed to be particularly fond of the golden crown, and wore it every day, even before going to bed, she would take it out and stare at it for a long time. But today at the banquet, she changed it to a golden leaf crown. Hearing this, the maid knelt down and withdrew, and helped the guard to get the key, took out the exquisite hair crown from the secret box full of mechanisms, and then held it on a tray and gently placed it in front of the emperor and concubine.
Baili Duyue took the real inner elixir and then used his spiritual power to create a fake one. The maid's cultivation was too low and she didn't even notice it.
The emperor's concubine looked at the golden bead in the phoenix's mouth, gently reached out to touch it, and as expected, she began to daydream again.
Seeing this, the maid cautiously reminded: "Empress, just take a look and then put it away. The Emperor will be unhappy if he sees it."
The Emperor seemed to dislike seeing this hair crown—
This was the conclusion drawn by the maid after decades of close service and secret observation.
The imperial concubine laughed, "I appear in front of him every day wearing this hair crown. Am I still afraid of this moment?"
The maid didn't dare to answer, because a man in a black royal robe appeared outside the palace at some point. He slowly walked behind the imperial concubine in front of the servants who were kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "You have worn it for decades, aren't you tired of it? How about I have someone make a new one for you?"
Fu Yujin is already fifty years old this year, but because of his cultivation, he still looks like a young man of twenty-five, cold and indifferent. At this moment, facing the woman sitting in front of the mirror, he actually has a bit of humble and flattering meaning, but the servants in the palace are not surprised.
The imperial concubine stared at the mirror without saying anything. After a long while, she finally uttered a sentence slowly, her expression dazed: "Last night I dreamed of the time before I got married..."
Fu Yujin thought she was sad about the passing of her youth, so he whispered to her in comfort: "Yuenu, you are still as beautiful as ever."
This may not be a consolation, but it is the truth.
Upon hearing this, the Emperor's concubine twitched her lips slightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm: "You look the same as before? Has the Emperor ever looked at me straight in the eye before? Do you remember what I looked like before?"
Fu Yujin choked, but before he could say anything, he heard the imperial concubine muttering to herself: "Several years ago, I was not married yet, and you were still a young master. I still remember that time, there were countless fairy concubines in the cloud realm, all of whom were devoted to you..."
"I'm probably the one you despise the most..."
"I was born with a useless body and cannot practice. The Snowy Silver Region was still weak at that time, so I can't bring you much help. No matter how you look at it, I can't compare to those noble ladies from the Immortal Palace families..."
The imperial concubine seemed to have lost her soul, recalling the past events without any emotion: "But I just like you, I am so stupid, the person you love is obviously the fairy Fu Bi, you only treat me as a plaything, as a joke for your amusement, but I am still willing to be fooled by you..."
Fu Yujin looked stunned.
The emperor and his concubine finally looked at him.
Their appearance has not changed, just as it was back then.
The imperial concubine smiled and said, "I don't blame you, it's my own stupidity. I was indeed unpopular at that time. I was rude, crude and vulgar. If a young prince could fall in love with me, wouldn't it be ridiculous?"
She didn't know why she said this. She lowered her eyes and stroked the gold beads on her hair crown, as if she was just chatting casually. Her appearance was so beautiful under the candlelight that it was heart-breaking. Her every move was as graceful as a painting, without any trace of rudeness or vulgarity. She was in a daze and said, "But there is a fool who likes me and is willing to use the huge Northern Territory as a betrothal gift to let me marry him..."
"I liked you at that time, so naturally I didn't want to marry you..."
The imperial concubine paused and said, "But you said... you said that you needed the help of the Northern Territory to succeed to the throne, and asked me to marry over there so that I could win over Baili Qingdu for you. When your power is solid in the future, you can find a way to bring me out..."
She clenched the bead tightly: "I was stupid, so I believed it, and I got married, but..."
"But you fell in love with Baili Qingdu! You gave birth to children for him and managed the household!" Fu Yujin interrupted her angrily before she could finish. With a flick of his sleeves, the cups on the table fell to the ground with a clanging sound.
Fu Yujin tightly grasped the Emperor's Concubine's shoulders, forcing her to look at him. Veins bulged on his neck, and he said in a gloomy voice: "Yue Nu! Do you still remember what you did before you got married?! You once copied thousands of scriptures for me to pray for blessings, and risked your life to get the Snow Soul Pearl in the severe cold of Tianshan. You said you were willing to die for me, and you said you would only be my wife in this life! But Baili Qingdu fed you some kind of magic potion, and in just a few years, there is no one else in your eyes except him!"
His eyes were red, his hands were shaking, he was jealous.
After he ascended to a high position, he felt the chillness. Although he had fame, wealth, power, and countless beauties in his harem, no one was willing to give him their true heart without reservation.
there is none left…
Later, at the Qianqiu Banquet, she met her old friend again. The foolish girl had already married and was smiling sweetly at her husband. Fu Yujin finally realized that she had lost something.
If Sang Feiwan were here, he would definitely sigh and say that it is true that all crazy people are born in the same family. No wonder Fu Yuhao is so crazy, he inherited his emotions from his father.
The imperial concubine ignored the pain in her shoulder and stared at Fu Yujin quietly. Suddenly she smiled and sighed, "Yes, I stayed up for days and copied thousands of scriptures to pray for you, but it was still not as good as a handkerchief from Fairy Fu Bi. I also risked my life to get the Snow Soul Pearl for you in the ice cave of Tianshan Mountain, but in the end you still married Fairy Fu Bi as your concubine..."
She still used the same name as before: "So, young master, why are you acting like this today?"
Fu Yujin's face was grim: "I have abolished Fu Bi's position as the imperial concubine and dismissed the three thousand concubines in the harem. I only favor you. Yue Nu, why do you always keep thinking about the past?!"
He noticed the golden bead in the woman's hand and reached out to grab it, but was pushed away by the imperial concubine, who said coldly: "If you dare to touch it, I will die in front of you immediately!"
Fu Yujin really didn't dare to move anymore, frowning: "Why can't you give the bead to me?"
The Emperor's Concubine sneered: "If you want to practice, go find another inner elixir yourself. This thing has nothing to do with you, and you are not worthy of touching it!"
Fu Yujin was furious, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke each word, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill Baili Duyue?!"
Upon hearing this, the imperial concubine subconsciously looked at him with sharp eyes: "What did you do to him?!"
Fu Yujin then realized that he had let the cat out of the bag. He frowned, turned around and said, "What can I do to him? You heard me in the palace just now. I let them go a long time ago. I'm afraid that Baili Duyue has already left the palace by now."
If Sang Feiwan were here at this moment, he would definitely sigh and wonder how there could be such a shameless person like Fu Yujin in the world who wouldn't even think before lying.
Let's go back to half an hour ago.
At that time, Sang Feiwan and Baili Duyue were preparing to secretly leave the Imperial Palace. However, as soon as they reached the north gate, two masked Tianyan Realm masters came and blocked them. Baili Duyue fought one against two, but he was not at a disadvantage. In the end, he won by a narrow move and took off the opponent's mask, but it turned out to be two unexpected people.
"Why are you guys here?!"
Baili Duyue looked at the man and woman in front of him with a frown on his face. Sang Feiwan was also a little surprised: "City Lord Hua? City Lord Si? Why are you two here too?"
That's right, the two people fighting in front of them were Hua Qinyi and Si Wujiu. Those who could hold the position of city lord were not fools. They were keenly aware that something was wrong today. The imperial capital was not a place to stay for a long time, so they wanted to sneak away at night. As a result, it was too dark at night, and they couldn't see who was coming. They thought each other was a pursuer, and they started fighting by mistake.
Hua Qinyi was also a little surprised: "Why are you here too? Do you want to sneak away from Didu as well?"
Si Wujiu laughed strangely twice: "It seems that I am not the only one who wants to leave. Why don't you all go together so that we can look after each other."
Upon hearing this, Hua Qinyi immediately frowned, pinched her nose and took three steps back: "You stink so bad, who wants to be with you!"
Sang Feiwan thought, it's already late, why bother chatting? He was about to pull Baili Duyue away, but when he glanced inadvertently, he suddenly saw two dark shadows coming from behind him, and hurriedly reminded him anxiously: "Watch out behind you!"
Baili Duyue came back to his senses after hearing that, and saw that it was the two guardians Qingming and Taixuan. He saw the other party's palms coming at him, and was about to dodge, but suddenly remembered Sang Feiwan behind him, and fearing that he would hurt the other party, he had to fly forward and took the attack.
"boom-"
After all, Baili Duyue had just entered the Tianyan realm not long ago. He was unable to fight against the two old monsters no matter what. He was directly knocked back three steps and spat out a mouthful of blood with a pale face.
Sang Feiwan was startled when he saw this, and quickly stepped forward to hold the man in his arms: "City Lord!"
Qingming and Taixuan were standing on the palace wall. Seeing this, they stroked their beards and laughed: "Young Master has long ordered that you will definitely escape during the shift change, and it turned out to be true. Since you don't want to live in the comfortable bedroom, then follow me to the dungeon!"
When they said the last sentence, their tone was fierce and their moves were as fast as lightning. Therefore, before Hua Qinyi and Si Wujiu could recover from the words "Young Master has already given instructions", they were forced to fight with them.
The two rookies who had just entered the Tianyan realm through unorthodox means were naturally no match for the combined attack of Qingming and Taixuan. It was conceivable that they were defeated even faster than Baili Duyue.
Then the scene changed. They were fighting at the palace gate in the previous second, and were collectively locked up in a dark dungeon in the next second.
Sang Feiwan didn't know any magic, so he didn't feel any involvement in the fight from beginning to end. Being locked up in the dungeon, he didn't have time to think about the reasons behind it, and his whole mind was on Baili Duyue's injury.
"How is it? Is it serious? Does it still hurt?"
Sang Feiwan hugged Baili Duyue's upper body in his arms, gently wiped the blood coughed out from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, frowned unconsciously, and felt inexplicably worried.
Baili Duyue was indeed seriously injured. When he was stealing the inner elixir today, he was accidentally ambushed by a trap and was hit by two palms just now. At this moment, his Qi and meridians were reversed and his face was as pale as a piece of white paper.
"Sang Feiwan..."
Baili Duyue was a little dazed. He tightly grasped Sang Feiwan's wrist, his fingertips almost sinking into the flesh, and said intermittently: "You... you can't leave..."
Sang Feiwan thought that he was already locked up in the dungeon, where could he go? However, his body honestly hugged Baili Duyue tighter, kissed his forehead, and whispered: "Okay, I won't leave, I won't go anywhere."
Baili Duyue seemed to feel relieved after hearing that. He leaned into his arms, closed his eyes and frowned, and began to heal his wounds by rapidly circulating his spiritual energy.
A bright yellow figure appeared outside the dungeon. It was Fu Yuhao. He stared quietly through the cell door and saw Sang Feiwan hugging the seriously injured Baili Duyue tightly, whispering something to him from time to time, taking out healing pills from the Xumi brocade bag and feeding them to him one by one, with a gentle and considerate expression.
It’s hard to explain why, but Fu Yuhao felt even more uncomfortable, as if there was a wildfire that was about to burn more fiercely.
My mother is like this...
Sang Feiwan is the same...
What's so good about Baili Duyue
Fu Yuhao didn't know what he was thinking. He walked straight into the dungeon, then slowly stopped in front of the prison door and ordered someone to bring Sang Feiwan out.
Sang Feiwan got a headache when she saw Fu Yuhao, her head was buzzing: "Young Master, you are so precious, why did you come to such a dirty place?"
Fu Yuhao smiled slightly and said, "Isn't it good for me to save you from prison?"
Sang Feiwan subconsciously turned around to look at Baili Duyue in the dungeon. The other party's injuries had not yet healed and he looked dying: "I dare not trouble you, young master. I'd better go back."
He turned around and was about to go back, but was caught off guard by Fu Yuhao's wrist. At this time, Baili Duyue barely managed to gather a little bit of consciousness. Seeing Sang Feiwan being taken away from him, he suddenly pounced on the railing like an angry beast, his eyes gradually turned scarlet, and his voice was icy and piercing, with a strong warning: "Fu Yuhao!"
Seeing that Baili Duyue was on the verge of a rage, Fu Yuhao suddenly laughed. He held Sang Feiwan tightly and said in an ambiguous tone, "It seems that Lord Baili is quite fond of the spy I sent. It's a pity that now that the spy has returned to its original owner, he may not be able to accompany you any longer."
The air around them froze for a moment because of these words, and became deathly silent.
Baili Duyue seemed not to hear clearly and paused: "What did you say?"
There was a barely perceptible trace of confusion in his eyes, and Sang Feiwan felt as if something had stabbed his heart when he saw it.
Fu Yuhao slapped his head heavily and said, "Oh, I forgot. City Lord Baili probably doesn't know that Fei Wan is actually someone close to me. I can know so much about Cangdu thanks to him."
He was clearly lying with open eyes, and Sang Feiwan had clearly not leaked any information.
At this moment, the system suddenly popped up several messages:
Ding! Please note that the villain's blackening degree has risen to 57
Ding! Please note that the villain's blackness has risen to 67
Ding! Please note that the villain's blackening degree has risen to 77
Sang Feiwan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the dense warning sounds around him. He subconsciously looked at Baili Duyue, wanting to tell him not to listen to Fu Yuhao's nonsense. However, he opened and closed his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word. Not only that, his body froze uncontrollably, as if someone had pressed acupoints on him.
Fuck! That bastard Fu Yuhao actually put a silencing spell on him? ! ! !
Fu Yuhao seemed to sense the anger in Sang Feiwan's heart. He curled his lips slightly and asked in a low voice: "What's up? You seem to have something to say?"
Sang Feiwan: “…”
I! F**K! Your! Dad!!!
Seeing that Sang Feiwan remained silent, Fu Yuhao looked into the dungeon. Baili Duyue was completely immersed in shadows, and his expression could not be seen clearly, but he made people feel inexplicably frightened.
Fu Yuhao seemed to be venting his anger by sneering, "Bai Li Du Yue, do you really think you have met your destined Taoist partner?"
"Mother didn't want you back then, so naturally Sang Feiwan won't want you now either."
"You were abandoned once several years ago. Why haven't you learned your lesson yet?"
Sang Feiwan really wanted to sew his mouth shut with a needle. Was Fu Yuhao reincarnated as a mute in his previous life? Why did he talk so much? !
