Chapter 259 Let him do as he pleases
Qinghe was somewhat worried.
“Miss’s plans have been completely disrupted by that descendant of the true dragon. Now that the envoy must know that you deliberately spread false information, what should we do if he sends people to deal with us?”
Long Qianxue glared at her fiercely, and Qinghe lowered her head in fear.
Ever since she was hit with that "straight man" charm last time, she has often said the wrong thing and made the young lady angry.
The talisman has now lost its effectiveness, but the young lady no longer trusts her as much as before.
"Let him come if he wants!" Long Qianxue clenched her fists tightly. "With my status, do you think I'm afraid he'll come and kill me?"
Long Qianxue lowered her eyes.
"The most urgent task is to go to the human world."
She had to find a way to make the regent change his mind and return to the Dragon Palace.
Since he cares so much about that mortal, then let's start with her!
"With Long Mengyue's wedding imminent, my father and my stepmother should be busy in the main hall right now," Long Qianxue sneered. "They're such a loving family."
Just as Qinghe was about to offer some words of comfort, Long Qianxue suddenly stood up.
"Qinghe, come with me to the Treasure Pavilion."
"Miss..." Qinghe guessed what was going on, her heart almost leaping out of her chest, "Miss, could it be that you... intend to steal the Soul Devouring Cauldron?!"
The Soul-Devouring Cauldron is a secret treasure of the Flood Dragon Clan.
It is a treasure left over from ancient times, and has absorbed countless souls over thousands of years to gain its current power.
Extremely vile and filthy.
Long Zhuochi wanted to marry Long Mengyue because of its powerful strength.
"The resentment bred from the remnants of countless ages is enough to open any door in this world." Long Qianxue chuckled sinisterly, her eyes gleaming with cold light.
"Long Zhuochi has been longing for this item that can help him unlock the Tide Temple. Tell me, if it fell into my hands, wouldn't his wedding ceremony with Long Mengyue be incredibly interesting?"
"Hahahaha..." She laughed and bent over, then slowly straightened up.
"Besides, I also need to use this treasure to make that mortal suffer a bit."
"Isn't she a Taoist priest?"
"The Soul-Devouring Cauldron absorbs countless vengeful spirits and ghosts, so it must be her favorite thing."
When she goes to the mortal realm and obtains that mortal's hair, skin, essence, and blood, and throws it into the Soul-Devouring Cauldron, she will surely be attacked by vengeful spirits and suffer a backlash!
"Wasn't that mortal just lucky?"
"I want to see if she's lucky enough to escape the myriad lingering remnants within this Soul-Devouring Cauldron." Long Qianxue's laughter was somewhat terrifying. "Just hope she doesn't lose consciousness from the pressure and never wake up again... Hahahaha..."
Seeing her face contorted in pain, Qinghe said in a trembling voice, "Miss, please reconsider... If the Dragon King finds out, we..."
"So what if I know!" Long Qianxue's smile vanished, her tone instantly turning sharp. "My father doesn't care about his daughter at all!"
"By taking the Soul Devouring Cauldron, I am merely taking away the fatherly love that should have been mine!"
"This is what he owes me!!!"
Qinghe lowered her head in fear and stopped trying to persuade her.
Miss... seems to be a little obsessed.
……
Cangxin Pavilion.
Jun Ce gently pushed open the door and gazed at Zhai Rongyu's sleeping face in the moonlight.
The girl had her eyes closed and her brows furrowed.
"Did you have a nightmare..." Jun Ce asked softly, his heart clenching.
He raised his hand, and a stream of spiritual energy flew from his fingertips and flowed into Zhai Rongyu's brow.
Her eyebrows and eyes gradually relaxed, and she began to breathe softly and evenly. Her lips also parted slightly, making her look inexplicably cute.
Jun Ce looked at her with a hint of helplessness.
He had only been standing there for a short while when she had already struck several contorted poses, kicking the blankets off her body until they were in disarray.
He chuckled and shook his head.
I can't even stand on my own two feet, and I don't know where I got the strength to kick the blanket like this.
He quietly stepped forward and gently helped her straighten her arms and legs, tucking her in with the blankets.
The girl obediently let him do as he pleased.
Jun Ce couldn't help but reach out and touch half of her cheek.
"Sleeping posture is so bad, what will happen if I'm not around..." He murmured a few words, his gaze fixed on the adorable girl.
She seemed to be disturbed by the slight noise, and muttered something in dissatisfaction, wrinkling her face as she waved away his large hand.
He mumbled something incoherently.
It sounded like babbling in a dream.
It's definitely not something nice to say.
Jun Ce chuckled softly, his eyes filled with even more tenderness. He simply squatted down beside the girl, leaning against the ground, and turned his head to look at her.
My heart feels like it's been squeezed with lemon juice.
It feels sour and bloated.
He wanted to keep her by his side as soon as possible, but he never expected that he would be surrounded by danger.
Although he stated that he had no intention of taking the position of the lord, it was hard to guarantee that the dragons would not try to kill him.
It doesn't matter if he dies, but Rong'er cannot become a widow with no one to rely on for the rest of her life because of his momentary desires and impulses.
She loves freedom and deserves the best man in the world to be her match.
Jun Ce gazed at Zhai Rongyu's face, his deep and persistent eyes reflecting an indescribable love, surging and turbulent, enveloping the girl's figure, yet almost annihilating himself.
"What if our wedding is postponed..."
"Will you blame me?"
He asked softly, knowing that the person in front of him would not give him an answer.
Zhai Rongyu smacked her lips and rolled over, lying on her side, her head just right in front of him.
Jun Ce's heart stirred. He pressed his large hand on the bed and leaned down to kiss her smooth forehead.
Like a dragonfly skimming the water, it touches and leaves in an instant.
A lone figure clung to the window frame, looking at Jun Ce with a mournful expression.
Waaah... Why is it so difficult for my lord to find a wife!
Jun Ce glanced indifferently at the window, got up and left the room, gently closing the door behind him.
"If you don't want these eyes anymore, gouge them out and give them to someone who needs them." He walked coldly to the lone figure.
The lone figure quickly apologized.
"My lord, spare my life! I only peeked at Miss Zhai because I saw that her door wasn't properly closed and I was afraid she might be in danger."
"I absolutely did not mean to see you stealing a kiss from Miss Zhai!"
He stood upright, his voice booming.
"And I would never harbor any resentment towards my lord, thinking he's some kind of philanderer who's broken into my home!"
As if afraid others wouldn't hear it.
Jun Ce: ...
"Your mouth is getting better and better at talking." He said coldly, his tone full of danger.
The lone figure chuckled softly.
"Thank you for the praise, my lord!"
Jun Ce choked, about to punish him with lightning, when he suddenly heard him say—
"I learned it all from Miss Zhai."
Jun Ce slowly lowered his hand.
Completely unaware that he had just escaped death, Zhiying straightened his expression and said with a worried look, "My lord, why don't you go and destroy the Dragon Palace and become the true Dragon Lord? That way, no one will dare to bully Miss Zhai anymore."
Jun Ce turned his head and stared at the tightly closed door, lost in thought.
"Let's go."
A storm is brewing, and he still has much to do.
The next day.
Zhai Rongyu got out of bed, her eyes closed and her face blank.
Before the person even woke up, their body started doing its own thing.
Lifting the blanket, putting on clothes, putting on shoes... all done in one go, without delaying anything.
She even scratched her messy hair.
Then she suddenly opened her eyes.
[Ah Xu went out all night; I don't know if she's come back yet.]
