When Yun Yao learned that the wedding date had been set, a hint of shyness appeared in her eyes, and her heartbeat sped up.
"Why is the date so close? Can it be ready in two months? "
She lowered her head slightly, her cheeks were slightly red, and her voice was filled with shyness.
Ji Tianxing held her slender waist and said with a smile, "Uncle said that the Cloud Spirit Palace has already begun preparations, and two months is enough.
Moreover, I also want to marry you as soon as possible and fulfill my long-cherished wish. "
"Long-cherished wish?" Yun Yao raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a complicated expression. She asked, "We have known each other for less than two years, so how can it be considered a long-cherished wish?"
Ji Tianxing revealed a playful smile and whispered in her ear, "From the first time I saw you, I thought in my heart that one day, I will definitely marry you as my wife!"
The gentle whisper sounded in her ear, and the warm air brushed against her sparkling earlobes, which immediately turned her earlobes red. It was very cute.
A thick sense of shyness welled up in her heart, causing her to lower her head in embarrassment. She whispered in a trembling voice, "Tianxing, when you first saw me, you already had such thoughts?"
"Of course." Ji Tianxing said with certainty, "Although I was a toad at that time, and you were a noble swan …
However, a toad that doesn't want to eat a swan is not a good toad. "
After saying that, he stretched out his arms and wrapped them around Yun Yao's slender waist, hugging her tightly in his arms.
Yun Yao became even more embarrassed. She nestled in his arms, and her heart was filled with complicated thoughts.
Looking back on the past year, all the things that had happened between the two of them made her filled with emotions.
After a long time, the two of them separated.
The two of them left the guest hall and rushed to Yun Yao's study, where they continued to discuss the matter of Yuejian City.
…
Four hours later, it was noon.
Ji Tianxing left the City Lord's Mansion alone and rushed to the Cao Mansion in the East City to personally check the situation.
The Cao Clan was one of the Grand Clans in Yuejian City. With a heritage of over three hundred years, their power was not to be underestimated.
Moreover, the Cao Family had been like the sun in the sky in recent decades. There were many talented people in the family, and the family business was very prosperous.
Sadly, at the peak of the Cao Clan's glory, this tragedy happened. The 80 plus people in the clan were all killed. It was truly a tragedy.
This matter caused a huge uproar in the city, causing countless commoners' expressions to change as they talked about it.
When Ji Tianxing arrived at the Cao Residence, he saw that the huge residence was surrounded by city guards.
No one dared to approach the manor. Occasionally, there would be commoners who would pass by, but they would try their best to stay away from the Cao Manor. They would walk away quickly with fearful expressions.
The magnificent estate was deathly silent, and it was suffused with traces of a ghastly and terrifying aura.
Even though it was broad daylight, it still made people feel uneasy and panicked.
Ji Tianxing walked to the gate of the Cao Mansion and was stopped by four city guards.
"This place has been sealed by the City Lord's Residence. Without the City Lord's Residence's order, no one is allowed to enter."
"I'm the Crown Prince, Ji Tianxing. I'm here to investigate," he took out his identity token and said in a dignified voice.
The four city guards' expressions changed. They immediately bowed respectfully and opened the gate for him.
Ji Tianxing stepped through the gate and walked into the Cao Residence.
As soon as he entered, he saw a spacious front yard. There were a few Chinese parasol trees in the yard. They were 30 meters tall and were at least 100 years old.
The wide canopy almost covered the entire front yard, blocking the noon sun and making the yard a little shady.
Under a Chinese parasol tree that was as thick as a water tank, there was a pile of white bones. There was also a waist saber and half a set of armor on the ground.
Ji Tianxing glanced at it and could tell that it was the skeleton of a middle-aged man. He should be a guard of the Cao Residence.
There was an ancient well in the corner of the yard. There was a circle of bluestone around the well. The winch at the mouth of the well was intact. There was even a well rope and a bucket hanging from it.
However, there was a pile of white bones, an embroidered sachet, and a pair of embroidered shoes beside the well.
Ji Tianxing walked through the front yard expressionlessly. He looked around calmly and saw one skeleton after another.
Ever since the tragedy in the Cao Residence, the City Lord's Residence had sent troops to seal off this place and did not allow outsiders to enter.
The scene in the Cao Residence was still the same as before.
When Ji Tianxing saw those skeletons, some images vaguely appeared in his mind. He could roughly guess the scene of the incident.
The main yard had the most people living in it, and it also had the most skeletons.
Especially outside the main hall of the Cao Residence, there were more than 20 piles of skeletons scattered on both sides of the bluestone steps and the main road.
There were men and women, old and young, but the way they died was similar. They had all been devoured by the Demonic Venomous Puppets and turned into piles of white bones on the ground.
Ji Tianxing walked around the Cao Residence and found a total of 84 skeletons.
Some of the skeletons were lying in hidden places like the woodshed and the cellar.
If Yun Yao did not tell him the exact number of people in the Cao Family, he would not be surprised.
From the looks of it, the Cao Family had met with an unexpected calamity and was wiped out overnight.
However, the Eldest Young Master of the Cao Family, Cao Jingfeng's body was not there, and his whereabouts had been unknown for a month.
After Ji Tianxing investigated the situation in the Cao Residence, he was 80% sure that the person who killed the Cao Family was Cao Jingfeng.
"A young man with a bright future was turned into a demonic puppet that only knew how to kill. He killed everyone in his family, including his own parents and siblings …
Vicious Demonic Venomous Insects, damned demons! "
He clenched his fists secretly, anger and murderous intent building up in his chest. He could not wait to tear the Demonic King and all the demons into pieces!
At this moment, he suddenly frowned and revealed a puzzled look.
He could vaguely feel that there was a warm feeling in his head, as if something was burning in his mind.
However, he did not feel any discomfort, and the temperature on his forehead was very normal. There was nothing unusual.
He hurriedly used his spiritual sense to look inside and saw that the Heaven Mending Pearl in his mind was shining with a dense white light, emitting an invisible mysterious power.
"The Heaven Mending Pearl is reacting as expected … However, is this some kind of omen?"
This thought flashed through his mind, and he walked around the Cao Residence twice with a heart full of doubts.
However, the abnormal reaction of the Heaven Mending Pearl did not disappear, and it was still shining with a dense white light.
However, he did not find any clues, and he did not understand what was going on.
The Heaven Mending Pearl was too mysterious and powerful. He knew nothing about its effects and secrets.
Helpless, he could only temporarily leave the Cao Residence and return to the City Lord's Mansion.
When he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, the Heaven Mending Pearl had calmed down and was no longer shining with a white light.
Seeing this scene, he was sure that the Heaven Mending Pearl's strange phenomenon had something to do with the Cao Residence.
Other than the fact that the Cao Residence was wiped out by the Demonic Venomous Insect Puppet, there was nothing special about it.
