âHow about I check up on her again in the dead of night?â
Lin Qiye made up his mind.
In the evening, the breeze entered the house.
Lin Qiye used Lightning Warp to arrive at Zhu Yuhengâs room.
Zhu Yuheng was studying when shenoticed the strange sound.
She almost screamed, but Lin Qiye hurriedly covered Zhu Yuhengâs mouth.
Zhu Yuheng widened her eyes and grabbed Lin Qiyeâs wrists with both hands. She was so nervous that her heart was beating wildly.
âUhhâ¦â
âDonât disturb the others. I donât mean any harm.â
Lin Qiye covered her face for a while and slowly put down his hand.
Zhu Yuhengâs face and ears were red. She looked at Lin Qiye with fear.
âShaoshang⦠You scared me to death by coming in like this.â
âI had no choice. There are some things I canât let them know.â
Some things he canât let them know?
What was it?
Was it about her inner wear?
Zhu Yuheng thought about how Lin Qiye knew her size like the back of his hand, and her face was so red that steam seemed to evaporate.
Her heart became a mess.
âI⦠I⦠canât we talk during the day? I keep feeling that something is wrong at night.â
As they spoke, Zhu Yuheng pulled on her pajamas.
She wanted to cover her long legs and arms.
Lin Qiye looked at Zhu Yuheng. Although the scene was beautiful, his mind was filled with self-saving thoughts. Therefore, he only followed a manâs instinct and admired her for a few seconds.
âI came for two things. First, I have a gift for you.â
Lin Qiye took out the Yin Yang Harmony Jade Pendant.
The pendant was the Empressâ treasure.
It was one of the rewards Lin Qiye received when he solved the crisis of the human race.
The pendant was divided into two pieces, allowing its wearer to share the damage.
As long as one person was still alive, the other would not die.
Zhu Yuheng hadnât awakened yet, and she couldnât protect herself.
Therefore, this was the best way to protect her.
One had to know that Lin Qiye had a terrifying SSS-Grade defense like the Thunder God Aspect.
It could fully block an SSS-Grade powerhouseâs attack on Zhu Yuheng.
Of course, with Zhu Yuheng by his side, no one could attack her.
However, being more cautious was always a good thing.
Hence, Lin Qiye hung one of the jade pendants around Zhu Yuhengâs neck.
The jade pendant gently flicked Zhu Yuhengâs chest and slid down, disappearing.
Zhu Yuheng: ââ¦â
Lin Qiye: ââ¦â
Zhu Yuhengâs face turned red from the incident with the jade pendant.
She raised her hand and wanted to take the jade pendant out, but she felt embarrassed.
She could only hold her chest.
Lin Qiye smiled awkwardly.
âWell⦠Take good care of the jade pendant. Donât take it off no matter what. It can protect your life. Wear it well. As long as I donât die, no one can hurt you. Understand?â
âHuh?â
Upon hearing that the jade pendant was so powerful, Zhu Yuheng quickly took it off and stuffed it back into Lin Qiyeâs hands.
âNo, this is too precious. I canât take it. Itâs already a great kindness for you to take care of me. Iâ¦â
Lin Qiye held the jade pendant. The cold feeling disappeared and was replaced by a different kind of warmth as if it was her body temperature.
There was no doubt about it. The jade pendant had already taken effect when Zhu Yuheng wore it. Moreover, since the jade pendant was originally the Empressâs possession, it seemed more compatible when she wore it.
Lin Qiye smiled and put the jade pendant back on for her.
âThis thing has already taken effect just now. Itâs useless even if you return it to me. Wear it. It suits your fair skin and looks beautifulâ¦â
Hearing Lin Qiyeâs strange praise, Zhu Yuhengâs face flushed red, and her phoenix-like eyes were as gentle as water.
âThank you. I donât even know how to repay you.â
Lin Qiye waved his hand.
âSaving you is saving myself.
âI have another problem to solve this time. The evil aura of the demon race and Winged Wolf Tribe is hidden in your body. You have to get rid of it, or there will be endless trouble in the future! Itâs dangerous.â
Lin Qiyeâs expression was grave, and Zhu Yuheng couldnât help but be shocked.
Her face instantly turned pale.
âEndless trouble? Ah⦠Will it threaten you, Uncle, and Aunty? I⦠I really am a Jinxâ¦â
Zhu Yuheng fell silent andsat down on the bed.
It was as if something precious in her heart had been shattered.
All sorts of wonderful moments from the past two months flashed past her eyes like a passing image scroll.
Gu Shaoshang saving her was like the light in the night.
Aunt Gu and Uncle Gu treated her like their own daughter.
Gu He took care of her in every way possible.
She thought that her life would welcome spring and finally enjoy a wisp of spring breeze.
But she never expected that all of this was an illusion.
Zhu Yuhengâs eyes filled with tears.
She gritted her teeth. âAm I a danger? I canât harm you guys. Iâll leave. Iâll leave tonight.â
Zhu Yuheng wiped her tears. She was extremely worried.
At this moment, she wasnât worried about her own life.
She was afraid that she would harm Lin Qiyeâs family.
It was okay if she died, but Uncle and Aunt Gu and Gu He absolutely couldnât be injured.
At this moment, Zhu Yuhengâs gaze was resolute.
She clenched her fists.
Lin Qiye: ââ¦â
âDonât let your imagination run wild. Although itâs dangerous, Iâll help you solve it. Calm downâ¦â
Lin Qiye comforted her.
However, Zhu Yuheng raised her head and looked at Lin Qiye.
âI saw a trace of seriousness in your expression. Itâs dangerous, isnât it? You didnât think of a solution either, did you?
âYouâre just comforting me.
âI understand. It must be dangerous.
âYouâre a God-level expert. In my heart, youâre omnipotent. However, you still have such an expression. I know you canât solve it.â
Zhu Yuheng shook her head with tears in her eyes.
âIf I die, can it be resolved? Tell me. If so, Iâd rather die right now than harm you guys!â
At this point, Zhu Yuhengâs timidity gradually faded. What replaced it was a firm determination.
