Chapter 182 Screaming in the Middle of the Night
Xueying's tone inadvertently revealed a doting attitude that he himself had not even noticed: "Hey! In that case, I will go with you!"
The corners of Dark Moon Fairy's mouth slightly raised, outlining an alluring smile, and she said softly: "Someone actually wants to buy your life in the Dark Moon Pavilion! It's really unexpected that your life is so precious!"
Xueying couldn't help but smile and said teasingly, "Oh? You actually took this business? Who wants to take my life? How much gold did they give you as a reward?"
Dark Moon Enchantress sneered scornfully, her tone full of disdain: "I think... it's probably Emperor Wen! Besides, I can set the price! It seems that you have really pissed him off this time!" There was a glimmer of cunning and complacency in her eyes, and she seemed to be looking forward to what was to come.
Xueying turned his head, a look of doubt on his face, and asked softly: "Are you really willing to kill me?" There seemed to be a hint of disbelief and pain in his voice.
Dark Moon Enchantress curled her lips slightly and replied indifferently: "The price is enough, why would I be reluctant?" Her eyes revealed a kind of ruthlessness and determination, as if she didn't care about life and emotions at all.
After hearing this, Xueying pretended to be hurt and said miserably: "How can you be so cruel, woman? I have been worried that you would get hurt!" His tone was full of resentment and dissatisfaction.
Dark Moon Enchantress did not care. Instead, she chuckled and said sarcastically, "As long as you can afford enough gold, I can protect you!" Her smile revealed her greed and pursuit of money.
Blood Shadow took out an ancient jade from his bosom, rubbed it gently in his palm, and then handed it to Dark Moon Fairy, saying: "This ancient jade is a token of all the money of the Soul-Destroying Sect. As long as you hold it, you can mobilize all the resources of the Soul-Destroying Sect. With it, you can take as much gold as you want. Do you think this can protect me?"
Dark Moon Fairy's hand, which was originally extended, stopped in mid-air. She looked at the ancient jade in Blood Shadow's hand, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Just as she was about to reach out to take the ancient jade, Blood Shadow suddenly lowered his voice and said, "This is my betrothal gift to my wife! I have been keeping it carefully, just so that I can give it to my sweetheart one day."
Hearing this, Dark Moon Fairy's hand quickly retracted as if it had been stung by a bee. She showed an awkward smile on her face and said, "Haha, since it's such an important thing to you, leave it to your future wife! I dare not take it."
Xueying sighed helplessly, holding the ancient jade tightly, as if he wanted to crush it. He stared at Dark Moon Fairy, his eyes full of pain and unwillingness, and asked: "Why don't you consider me again? What can that Xiao Shizi do for you? I am willing to give everything for you, even at the cost of my own life!"
Dark Moon Fairy rolled her eyes, her tone became cold and firm, and she said: "Blood Shadow, I have always regarded you as a brother. The feelings between us are pure and sincere, and I hope you will not destroy this beauty. As for the matter between me and Prince Xiao, it was my own choice and has nothing to do with you. Please don't pester me anymore, otherwise don't blame me for not considering our past friendship!"
As soon as Dark Moon Fairy finished her words, the horses they were riding had already arrived near the outer wall of Huang Zhirui's residence. Blood Shadow couldn't help but sigh: "What gift do you want to give? Why don't you let me go for you!"
Dark Moon Fairy smiled slyly: "No need to enter the Huang Mansion!" After that, she tore off a piece of bamboo leaf beside her, gently placed it on her lips, and then blew it slowly. The sound was just like the crisp sound of the night wind blowing through the bamboo forest.
Xueying couldn't help but ask in astonishment: "Is that all?"
The corner of Dark Moon Fairy's mouth slightly raised, revealing a contemptuous smile: "If you are curious about what the gift I gave you is, why not climb to the top of the tallest attic in the courtyard to find out!"
Hearing this, Xueying quickly stretched out his arms, tightly hugged Dark Moon Fairy's slender waist, and flew up to the top of the highest attic in the Huang Mansion. Standing here and looking into the distance, the entire Huang Mansion was silent and quiet, like a sleeping beast.
On this silent night, a huge, astonishing rat suddenly appeared in a corner of the Huang Mansion. Its eyes flashed with a strange light, as if revealing a mysterious aura in the darkness. Accompanied by a "squeaking" sound, the rat seemed to be conveying some kind of information.
Before long, the entire backyard of the Huang Mansion seemed to be under a spell, and huge rats emerged like a tide. They seemed to be driven by some kind of command and rushed madly to the room where the Grand Princess of Yuewu Kingdom was staying.
At this moment, the eldest princess of Yuewu Kingdom was already exhausted due to the recent long journey. She was sleeping in a sweet dream, unaware of the impending danger. Suddenly, she felt something moving gently on her face, and this strange touch made her subconsciously scratch it with her hand in her sleep.
The furry touch gave her goose bumps all over her body, and an indescribable feeling of discomfort surged into her heart. She suddenly opened her eyes, and the original haziness instantly disappeared. Under the weak and swaying oil-yellow candlelight, her beautiful phoenix eyes stared at a pair of tiny but extremely bright black eyes like soybeans.
This sudden eye contact was like a bolt of lightning that struck the princess's mind, causing her to freeze. Then, a sharp, piercing scream burst out of her mouth, resounding through the sky, breaking the silence of the night sky...
In an instant, the entire delegation was awakened by the scream. They jumped out of their sleep in panic and shouted, "There is an assassin! Protect the princess!"
For a moment, the room was filled with chaos and noise, and people were frantically looking around for possible threats.
Huang Zhirui was also hastily awakened by the servants. He looked at the terrified servants in front of him with sleepy eyes. Before he could ask what happened, he saw all the guards in the Huang Mansion rushing to the princess's yard like a swarm of bees...
The guards of Yuewu Kingdom rushed to rescue the eldest princess as soon as possible, but were stunned by the scene in front of them as soon as they stepped into the room!
They simply couldn't believe their eyes - the noble and elegant princess of Yuewu Kingdom, with such graceful manners, was now sitting on the bed with disheveled hair, a crazy look on her face, and screaming non-stop!
What was even more horrifying was that her body was actually covered with countless rats of all sizes! The entire bed was occupied by these densely packed rats, and the sight of them made my scalp tingle!
Xueying stood at the top of the Huang Mansion's attic, overlooking the farce happening below: everyone was busy helping the eldest princess of Yuewu Kingdom drive away the rats running around...
He couldn't help laughing so hard that his mouth almost stretched to his ears. "Hahahahahaha, I'm afraid this 'gift' you gave will become an indelible shadow in the eldest princess' life! Speaking of which, since you have so many powerful mice, why didn't you think of letting them explore the way first when you broke into the secret passage of the Huang Mansion?"
Hearing this, Dark Moon Fairy's forehead suddenly showed black lines, and she said with embarrassment: "Uh... this, I forgot..."
