In the splendid palace, the red wedding dress was as beautiful as fire. Chu Jiu Ning was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, but her cold face was filled with indescribable sadness.
Recalling that Yue'an was pierced through the heart by a golden arrow yesterday, he looked at her with a slight smile on his lips, until finally he closed his eyes and the smile froze on his face.
Her heart suddenly felt sour and painful, and tears burst into her eyes.
At this time, a faint sound of footsteps came closer and closer.
Xie Si saw her sitting in the dressing mirror through the hazy screen. When he walked in, he found that she was crying again. He couldn't help but stop where he was.
He licked his lips under the mask, stood there, and finally walked over slowly.
When he came to her side, she treated him as if he were air, indifferent and without any reaction.
He saw the pain deep in her eyes, and he wanted to tell her that it made him feel uncomfortable to see her like this.
But she knew that she didn't care, and she only responded to him with indifference and disregard.
He slowly knelt down and reached out to wipe her tears, but as soon as his hand touched her face, she turned away to avoid it.
His heart felt as if he had been stabbed hard by something sharp, making him breathless.
He silently lowered the hand that he had just stretched out to wipe away her tears, "The emperor of the Heavenly Clan passed away and passed the throne to the Lord of the Nine Emperors, Jun Xu. Tomorrow the Heavenly Clan will hold a national funeral, but it will be the day when I, as the monarch of the Heaven-Eating Clan, will marry their princess.
,Why doesn’t the princess try on the wedding dress?”
Chu Jiu Ning tilted her head and looked at him coldly. The next second, she tightly grasped his clothes at the collar with both hands and asked hysterically:
"Who are you?! Who are you?! Why do you do this to me, why?!"
The eyes under the silver mask reflected her tearful face, and he raised his hand distressedly to help her wipe away all the tears.
But before his hand touched her face, she knocked him away mercilessly.
Hatred rolled in her eyes, "Don't touch me with your dirty hands!"
When the person under the mask heard her words, he couldn't help but let out a soft self-deprecating sound. He grabbed her wrists tightly with both hands, and suppressed the madness in his eyes.
"Chu Jiu Ning, if you want to know who I am, you can take off my mask, but you don't dare, because you have already guessed who I am, so you don't dare! You are afraid that you will see who I am under the mask.
That face!”
Chu Jiuning clenched her hands into fists and yelled at him, "Let me go!"
But he stared straight at her, grabbing her wrist and not letting go.
Chu Jiu Ning looked at him bitterly, "Let me go! Didn't you say that I dare not take off your mask? I want to see what kind of monster is behind the mask!"
His eyes darkened, and finally he slowly let go of her wrist.
But she suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball, her whole body showing weakness.
As he said, she had actually guessed who he was whether or not he took off his mask.
If she didn't expose him, she could still deceive herself and tell herself that he was not someone she knew. But if he did, she wouldn't even be able to deceive herself.
However, some things have to be faced eventually. You can escape them for a while, but you cannot escape them forever.
She took a deep breath, sighed softly, and forced her weak hands to take away the silver mask. When she saw that the face under the mask was indeed the face she had guessed, she closed her eyes with disappointment.
However, Xie Si was a little flustered by the look in her eyes that wanted to say nothing just now, and he held her two soft, boneless hands.
"Little junior sister, I treat you..."
Chu Jiu Ning didn't give him a chance to express his feelings to her. She opened her eyes suddenly, looked at him coldly and asked:
"Did you wake me up from my deep sleep?"
Xie Si pursed his lips tightly and remained silent for a long time before he lowered his head slightly and responded, "Yes."
Chu Jiuning frowned, her eyes moved slightly, and she stared at the floor, wondering, was the person who woke her up really her senior brother Fei Yu?
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Xie Si added, "Actually, I also have an identity in the Celestial Clan."
She turned her eyes and returned to his face, which was much more charming than in the previous life, "What is your identity?"
Xie Si held her hand tightly and said, "Fei Yu, the Celestial Master of the Celestial Clan."
It turned out to be a Celestial Master. No wonder she had never seen him when she was in the Celestial Clan, because the Celestial Master of Tianji Pavilion would never come out to meet anyone unless summoned by the Emperor.
At this moment, she finally realized why Jun Xu was caught in a trap by the Heaven Devouring Clan.
It turns out that all of this was done by him to lure her into the game, and what he did was just to kill people and hurt their hearts.
Her eyes gradually regained their composure, and she looked at him with a mixture of mockery and indifference.
"Elder brother is really secretive. Since you remember it, you must also know my identity very well. Therefore, I also want to know who you are."
Xie Si looked at her calmly, "Xiao Jiu, I will tell you one day, but not now. You just need to know now that I treat you..."
Chu Jiuning suddenly stood up and turned her back to him, "Senior Brother, it's better to call me Junior Sister. After all, we have never been close, we are just brothers and sisters of the same school."
Huh, we've never been very close to each other? We're just brothers and sisters from the same school? Looking at her indifferent back, Xie Si felt very uncomfortable.
At this time, the maid ran in from outside the palace and saluted, "My lord, General Yu Lin said that the princes of the Snake Tribe are coming to fight."
Jiang Zhen? Chujiu Ning's heart tightened. She turned around and saw Xiesi walking out of the hall with a mask. She stopped him and said, "Elder brother!"
Xie Si stopped for a moment, tightened her hands on her chest, and finally softened her tone and said, "Please don't hurt her, senior brother!"
Chu Jiuning had realized at this moment that Xie Si was an unfathomable person. Although Jiang Zhen had eaten the Hydra snake pill that she had asked Jiang Li to hand over before, he was definitely no match for Xie Si.
He looked back at her slightly and said, "Okay."
Then his eyes fell on the red wedding dress next to the dressing mirror, "I hope I come back later and see that the princess has already tried on the wedding dress."
Chu Jiuning lowered her eyes slightly and remained speechless. She knew she had no choice.
After he left, she turned around and walked to the wedding dress that was as beautiful as fire. She sighed and said, "Come here, wait for me to try on the wedding dress."
