Ye Yining saw a magical scene as soon as she got up. Jun Jiuji, wearing a mask, was actually playing chess with his father.
She rubbed her eyes, thinking she had seen it wrong.
When General Ye saw his daughter getting up, he slowly put down the chess pieces in his hand and whispered: "You should leave early!"
"Yeah!" Jun Jiuji stood up and walked towards the confused little girl standing by the door. He raised his hand and gently rubbed her head.
"Xiao Ning'er, I'm here to pick you up!"
Ye Yining raised her delicate little face and looked at him with doubts in her eyes, "Are you in such a hurry?"
She thought she could stay in the imperial mausoleum for one more day.
Just as Jun Jiuji was about to explain, General Ye had already spoken: "It's safer to go to Dongchu early. Ning'er, your mother is in the kitchen, go and say goodbye to her."
Although Ye Yining was a little reluctant, she still went to the kitchen obediently.
In the kitchen, when Mrs. Ye heard her daughter coming in, she quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and raised a smile.
She didn't look back, but kept nagging: "Ning'er, you like to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. Mom has steamed a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for you. The Laba Festival is coming soon, so I made Laba porridge for you... Mom can't celebrate the New Year."
I went to Hanluo City to accompany you and made you some dumplings and glutinous rice balls in advance..."
Ye Yining held her mother's arm and rested her head gently on her shoulder, "Mom, I will come over to accompany you and dad during the Chinese New Year."
Mrs. Ye reluctantly tapped her daughter's forehead, "You girl, last night your father asked me to talk about you! You and King Ji are not summoned, so don't keep thinking about coming back. Now mother only wants you to be ordinary.
It's safe. Besides, your father doesn't want to be stationed in the imperial mausoleum for the rest of his life!"
The generals stationed at the Imperial Tomb are changed every three years, so the days go by quickly.
She and her husband have already discussed it, and when their terms are up, they will also learn from the Honor Academy and retire.
It's just that it's not easy to say these words to Ning'er.
Ye Yining didn't want to say too much to make her parents sad, so she happily brought all the big and small bags her mother had prepared for her.
When parting, Mrs. Ye took her daughter's hand and told her, "Be safe on the road!"
Ye Yining turned around and hugged her mother, then waved to her father, "Mom and dad, take care too! I will take care of myself."
General Ye nodded and warned: "Be good and listen to King Ji!"
"Yeah! Got it." Ye Yining responded obediently.
Jun Jiuji didn't say much, but he took Xiao Ning'er's hand and made a promise in a solemn tone.
"I'll take good care of her!"
General Ye nodded and watched the two people leave.
He waited until a Pegasus flashed across the sky and disappeared, then he called his wife back to the house.
…
Ye Yining originally thought that Jun Jiuji came to pick her up early and was going to Dongchu, but Feixue ended up stopping at the One Night Thousand Gold City in Beihan Kingdom.
She looked at Jun Jiuji doubtfully, "Don't we go directly to Dongchu?"
Jun Jiuji hugged her off the horse and then explained softly: "We will go tomorrow. We still have some things to deal with today."
"Oh!" Ye Yining didn't ask any more questions.
Today's One Night Thousand Gold City has long lost the bustle and bustle of the past. There are only a few scattered shops around with lights on. When people walk on the streets, they feel only darkness and silence.
However, the lounge arranged by Jun Jiuji was brightly lit, comfortable and warm.
She sat down at the kotatsu table, propped up her chin and looked at Jun Jiuji who was making the bed for her.
"Xiao Ning'er, we will rest here tonight. If you feel bored, just read a book."
"Hmm." Ye Yining thought to herself that Jun Jiuji might have to go out for a long time.
Sure enough, he stayed with her in the room for less than half an hour before he was called away.
She didn't feel disappointed either, so she took out the book of medicinal talismans and learned a few new medicinal talismans, then put on the listening device again.
What’s surprising is that this time the story has not been changed in the audiobook device.
The demon boy in the story has now become the overlord of his party. He has killed almost everyone who framed him and bullied him.
Just when Ye Yining felt that this story could have a perfect ending, the Demon King from the Demon Realm suddenly appeared and killed the newly grown demon boy with a "Demon Coming" move!
This sudden and tragic ending left Ye Yining stunned.
For a moment, she seemed to feel the feeling of the demon boy dying...
The blood all over his body solidified in an instant, there was surprise and unwillingness in his eyes, and his whole heart was like falling into an ice cave in a cold pool, and then slowly cracked open.
The boy felt no pain because his consciousness quickly dissipated.
And his last moment of consciousness was relief!
Family members and people close to him died one by one. Even if he finally stood in a high position, his heart was empty.
The story ended, and the soothing music sounded.
Ye Yining gasped for air, and it took a long time for him to recover.
Taking off her audiobook, she walked to the bed and lay down, slowly sorting out her thoughts.
The story in this audiobook felt too real to her, so real that it was terrifying!
Fortunately, this time she felt no pain except for a little discomfort.
After lying on the bed for a while, a low conversation suddenly came from outside.
"Brother, did you just see clearly the man's face under the mask?"
"No, his mask is not simple..."
"I guess he must be very ugly..."
"Don't talk nonsense, this is his territory..."
When Ye Yining heard this, she immediately sat up alertly and got off the bed lightly.
There was a voice just now that sounded like that of Blue Moon.
What are these people doing here in One Night Thousand Gold City?
She calmed down and secretly paid attention to the movements outside.
After a moment of silence outside, Lan Yue spoke again.
"Brother, I'm still a little unwilling. This time when I go to Dongchu, you must help me teach Feng Qingyan a lesson, and the man who pretended to be Fanyin the Immortal..."
"Act according to circumstances, don't ruin Feng Lie's affairs!"
Lan Yue snorted, "Do you think Feng Lie really wants to repair the Demon Sealing Pillar?"
"The Demon Sealing Pillar must be repaired, otherwise how would we return to the Spiritual Realm."
"Then when are we going to Dongchu? I want to go early. I hate this dark and midwinter sky..."
"Okay, stop talking. We can go after Feng Lie finishes talking to Night Demon King."
After saying this, it became quiet again outside.
Ye Yining sat at the hot table, slightly lost in thought.
Did Jun Jiuji actually want to see that Imperial Master Feng Lie?
What on earth does Feng Lie want to do?
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, she heard the footsteps outside gradually getting away, indicating that they were probably leaving the city.
Not long after, she heard Jun Jiuji's footsteps.
Before she could get up and open the door, Jun Jiuji had already opened the door and walked in.
Seeing Xiao Ning'er still sitting at the hot table, he bent his hand and picked her up.
"Take you to dinner."
Ye Yining held his hand and blinked slightly, "Did you just meet Feng Lie? What did you say?"
