The corner of the carriage curtain lifted, and they saw a petite figure crash directly into the Prince’s broad chest with such force that even the Prince almost got knocked off his feet.
"....."
Everyone was silent, the surroundings were still, and they all wore expressions of disbelief.
Damn!
Seeing ghosts in broad daylight?
They actually saw a daring young lady throw herself into the Prince’s arms without fear?
"Tsk, Jian Ren, did I just see things? Did I see a young girl snuggle into our Prince’s embrace?"
Sporting a flamboyant red attire, the very showy Dongfang Chenyuan leisurely held a wine pot, rubbing his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating.
Yiu Renjian’s baby face was scrunched up; he pouted, "Mr. Dongfang, I’ve told you many tis, my na is Yiu Renjian, it’s Renjian, not Jian Ren! Anyone who doesn’t know would think you’re intentionally insulting , huh!"
"But... Mr. Dongfang, you didn’t see wrong, I also saw a girl rush up there."
"I’ll go get her down!"
Mu Hongxuan, exuding an icy deanor, furrowed his brow slightly, raising his hand to lift the carriage curtain.
Dongfang Chenyuan grabbed Mu Hongxuan’s arm sneakily, saying, "Mr Mu, worrying about the Prince? What’s the rush? Shouldn’t it be the girl we’re worried about? Don’t fret, the girl will roll out on her own in a bit; do you really need to bother grabbing her? Besides, the Prince hasn’t been close to any woman for years; letting him hug her to dispel the evil qi around him might be good, to save him from always having an icy expression."
"....."
Seems to make sense!
Mu Hongxuan withdrew his hand, standing aside coldly, quietly waiting.
Inside the carriage, the dignified, cold, and astonishingly handso man sat expressionlessly, rely sitting there, resembling a wrathful god, making anyone feel as though plunged into a cold cellar with close proximity.
Yet Yu Nianzhao was utterly oblivious, she tightly hugged his slender waist, feeling a splitting headache; at the mont of death, she finally awakened mories of the ghost realm!
A hundred years ago, the ghost gate widely reopened, the ghost king led tens of thousands of fierce ghosts out of the underworld wreaking havoc on humanity.
Due to dereliction of duty, she descended to the mortal realm, needing to capture eighty-one evil souls and the ghost king before returning.
Having seen not a trace of the ghost king’s shadow, she ended up dead first.
Earlier unnoticed, now her body was terribly weak, the wound on her chest faintly ached; at the brink of fainting, she was attracted to the intense evil qi from this man’s body, leaning her head against his chest, nearly enjoying absorbing the evil qi from him, with the wound healing visibly.
"Let go!"
A deep, fierce voice burst above her, Xie Jiuxiao’s eyes surged with dark tides.
"Not letting go!"
Are you kidding; she’s not full yet, what if her body kicks it if interrupted now?
She still needs this flesh body to walk in the mortal world!
He grabbed her wrist fiercely, saying sternly, "Are you seeking your own doom?"
Upon feeling the pulse, Xie Jiuxiao’s brow furrowed.
No pulse at all?
Is this human or ghost?
Seated in the carriage, he had witnessed this woman being the only one who erged alive from Tomb Guard City.
Dongfang Chenyuan let her in, completely unobstructed, so she’s not a ghost!
Given she’s human, getting near him would result in death or injury!
Isn’t this rushing up to court death?
"Won’t let go, can’t let go! Truly letting go will lead to death!"
Yu Nianzhao’s eyes reddened urgently; she’s not had her fill yet!
Look, just rising, she feels the once-healing wound starting to ache again.
"The aura from your body is really delicious, let lie here for a while longer, just for a while, okay?"
Yu Nianzhao’s eyes were dazed; she could see Xie Jiuxiao’s evil qi soaring.
This kind of evil qi was not only from his hands being stained with life’s blood!
Also engulfed him for at least twenty years with lethal fiendish aura!
Alongside fiendish aura, there’s sothing else on him; ordinary people can’t touch him without facing death or injury!
But it’s rather coincidental!
She’s certainly not ordinary!
"Delicious?"
Xie Jiuxiao squinted his eyes coldly, staring at her; this is the first ti soone described his evil qi as such, especially from a woman’s mouth.
"You are, so far, the one closest to who can stay alive the longest, but you won’t survive much longer, better roll out!"
Xie Jiuxiao pinched Yu Nianzhao’s neck, coldly intent on throwing her out.
Yu Nianzhao hugged his arm in return, one hand touching his pulse, weakly saying, "Aside from the evil qi entering your body, you are poisoned; if you don’t want to die, it’s best to keep by your side, otherwise, you’ll undoubtedly die within ten days!"
"Seeking death!"
Complex emotions surged in his phoenix-like eyes; Xie Jiuxiao knew he had little ti left, but hearing her say "undoubtedly die," his face shadowed, and his hand began exerting force.
"Taiyin Evil, living body, consuming evil spirits, protecting national fate!"
Suddenly, Yu Nianzhao recited, "You’ve been cultivated into a living evil body since childhood, the most coveted shell for wandering ghosts; most of your evil qi remains from frequent ghost possessions in childhood trying to seize your body, if not for this strand of Buddha Beads safeguarding you, you would’ve been torn apart by those fierce ghosts outside the carriage already!"
She pointed to the consecrated jade Buddha Beads on his other hand.
Her words seed to trigger a switch of so sort.
Boom!
A burst of evil qi exploded, the curtain swinging up in the air.
In places invisible to others, on the car roof, axles, even the horses, all around crowded various fierce ghosts, baring their teeth, eyes glinting red staring at Xie Jiuxiao.
If not intimidated by those Buddha Beads, they would’ve scrambled for Xie Jiuxiao’s body already.
Xie Jiuxiao’s voice was deep, "You... can see everything? Aren’t you afraid?"
"Seeing fully, naturally not afraid!"
Yu Nianzhao’s filthy face lit up with a bright smile like the sun, "They should be afraid of instead!"
She turned, forming a seal with her hand!
A flash of golden light, those fierce ghosts shrieked and vanished instantly.
Xie Jiuxiao’s breath stalled, instinctively letting go, his eyes burning as he asked Yu Nianzhao, "Are you a disciple of the esoteric sect?"
Yu Nianzhao ambiguously replied, "Sort of! Do you believe now? Better hurry and agree; I can ensure your survival!"
This condition is too tempting.
Xie Jiuxiao pressed his lips, "What precisely do you want?"
"Not much, just hugs, spending half the day with , if necessary, sharing a bed is fine too."
If they spend a night together, she could absorb more evil qi, doubling the effect, giving her ample ti to handle her affairs.
"Share a bed?"
Xie Jiuxiao gritted his teeth, watching her with a hint of intrigue.
"Hiss..."
Outside the carriage, people gasped; Yu Nianzhao realized the curtain hadn’t fallen since before, aning they heard it all?
No wonder their gazes at her seed as though looking at so improper woman.
