"Young Master Xiahou is so courageous. I'm really in awe! Let's see which one of them will subdue the other! "
The crowd was so excited by the gossip that they wanted to immediately knock on the bamboo board and call everyone in the city to share the news. After a while, thunder rumbled in the sky and it started to rain. The crowd quickly retracted their mocking and curious gazes. "Aiyo, aiyo, why is it suddenly raining again? There's too much rain this year. Let's run! "
The crowd scattered to hide from the rain, leaving only Xiao Yunyi at the end of the road. He stood alone in the rain, the fine drizzle wetting his hair. It was the same color as his pupils, making it seem darker. He stood there quietly, like a cold statue, not making any sound.
An oil paper umbrella covered his head.
"Your Highness."
The person holding the umbrella was a girl in her flowering period. Her eyes were watery and her eyebrows were playful. Looking closely, she looked very similar to Ning Shu. Even her style of dressing and makeup was the same as Ning Shu's. She was beautiful but did not lose her heroic spirit. The only difference was that under her gentle appearance, there was a sharp murderous aura. If Ning Shu saw her here, she would definitely have mixed feelings.
Looking at her, Xiao Yunyi frowned and said coldly, "Fei Luan, why are you here? Didn't I order you not to show yourself unless I announce it? What's wrong? You don't care about my orders anymore, do you? "
Fei Luan immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed in fear. "Fei Luan doesn't dare! Fei Luan only saw that it was raining and couldn't bear to see Your Highness get drenched, so I boldly showed myself to shield you. It's Fei Luan who deserves to die for violating the taboo. Your Highness, please punish me! "
"Even if I got drenched, what does it have to do with you? I remember telling you to remember your status and not overstep your boundaries. I took you in because I didn't want to disappoint Mother, but it doesn't mean that I won't kill you. Do you remember? "
The young girl's eyes were filled with longing and regret. "Your Highness is Fei Luan's master. As long as Your Highness wants Fei Luan's life, Fei Luan will not hesitate! Fei Luan knows that in Your Highness' eyes, I am only Lady Ning's shadow. But even so, Your Highness, please take care of yourself for the sake of this shadow … On Your Highness' birthday night, you drank so much that you vomited blood. Fei Luan doesn't want to see Your Highness hurt like that again … "
Xiao Yunyi grabbed her neck. "That's enough! I don't need you to remind me! "
The umbrella in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.
"Oh!" Fei Luan was forced to raise her head, and her slender neck made a creaking sound. Her snow-white skin was red because she couldn't breathe, and her trembling eyelashes were covered with rainwater.
Xiao Yunyi stared at the tear falling from the corner of her eye. He seemed to have seen a certain life from thousands of years ago, when he had strangled Ning Shu, kneeling in front of him and crying silently. This illusion of unknown origin caused his heart to sway and his chest to feel stifled and painful. He couldn't help but loosen his grip.
Fei Luan covered her neck that was almost broken and coughed violently.
Xiao Yunyi shook his head hard, but he still couldn't understand where that illusion came from. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and turned around hoarsely. The hem of his brocade robe embroidered with golden clouds fluttered in the rain. "If you're not dead, let's go."
Fei Luan stared at his cold back and answered with a hoarse voice. She picked up the umbrella that had fallen on the ground and turned back to look at the Duke of Nanping's residence behind her. She then looked away and followed him.
For tens of thousands of years, there were no clear skies or flowers in the Underworld. It was monotonous and dull, like a dead ash. The only blooming Red Spider Lily was actually not a living thing. It was formed from souls that had angered the Heavenly Dao and were crushed into powder by the Hand of the Heavenly Dao. They had flowers but no leaves. The scarlet and beautiful color was all formed from the last mouthful of heart blood of those souls. After that, they had to wait by the River of Forgetfulness for thousands of years, suffering the loneliest and most hopeless punishment in the world. When the scarlet color faded, the souls would completely disappear and they would finally be free.
Therefore, it tasted terrible.
Ning Shu had just entered the Underworld for ten years. After eating the 999th Red Spider Lily and gloriously saying that she wanted them to die early and reincarnate, her face was numb.
