Chapter 282: Head For The Demon Palace

Junxie clenched his fists. “Just call me Xie,” he said flatly.

“Alright, Xie. Where are we?” With that said, Liu Rushuang got out of bed and onto her two feet slightly confused.

He walked over to Liu Rushuang and held her hand. “Phoenix, this is the Demon Palace. From now on, you’ll live here,” said Junxie with a faint smile.

“Alright, it doesn’t matter where I live,” said Liu Rushuang emotionlessly.

Junxie reached his hand out to gently stroke Liu Rushuang’s face.

Liu Rushuang blinked. “Why do you want to stroke my face? Is there something on my face?”

“I stroke your face because I like you,” Junxie said in the softest voice he could muster.

“Like?” Liu Rushuang furrowed her brows, and yet she couldn’t understand what he meant by “like”.

Junxue took a deep breath. “Phoenix, I’ll walk you over to eat,” he said flatly.

“Alright.” There wasn’t a trace of change in her mood.

Chong’er looked at Liu Rushuang, who didn’t understand joy and sadness, with red eyes. In her heart, she sighed, ‘loving someone is also a kind of misfortune.’

Yulan City.

“Your Majesty, bad news. Nanli has seized two of our cities.”

“Your Majesty, Donghua has occupied three of our cities.”

“Your Majesty, Beiming is attacking us again!”

...

Han Moze couldn’t sleep a wink, and he had dark circles under his eyes. He dug his fingernails into his palms when he heard the report from his spies.

“Your Majesty, there is a young man called Green and a little girl called Little White Flower outside, requesting an audience.”

Han Moze’s eyes slightly lit up, as he tightly clenched his fists and walked out.

Everyone in the room followed him.

Green saw Han Moze step out into the courtyard, then cupped his fist. “Greetings master!” He cried.

Little White Flower looked at the group of people but couldn’t see Liu Rushuang, so she asked in curiosity, “Big brother, where’s Big Sister?”

Han Moze gritted his teeth, then spoke in a deep voice. “Shuang’Er must have been caught by the Demon Master. Little White Flower, Green, you both came just in-time. Take me to the Demon Palace on the edge of heaven. I must find Shuang’er.”

Green’s eyes slightly widened and immediately said, “Alright. I’ll take Master to find Madam.”

Then, Green turned into a giant green dragon.

Han Moze turned to the group and said, “All of you, stay. I’ll be fine going alone.”

“Big bro, I want to go too.”

“Little brother, I want to go with you.”

“Your Majesty, Mo Ye would also like to go.”

“Yes! Your Majesty, the more people, the more manpower. Take us with you!”

“Your Majesty, I vow to follow you until I die.”

...

“I’ve made my decision. All of you shall stay. I will go alone,” Han Moze said with a deep and resounding voice.

Just then, he swiftly leapt up onto the dragon’s head without a moment’s hesitation and ordered, “Go, Green!”

“Wait! I want to go too!” Nangong Ba yelled and abruptly rushed into the courtyard.

In the blink of an eye, he leapt onto the green dragon.

Green didn’t linger any longer, as he flew up to the white clouds and straight to the edge of heaven.

Thereafter, Jin Yuyao rushed into the courtyard and looked up to see Nangong Ba’s disappearing silhouette with red eyes.

As expected, your heart belongs only to that woman. People say devotion is good, but I despise your devotion.

They all looked up with faces full of worry, as they watched Han Moze disappear into the clouds.

Mei Ye shut his eyes and clasped both hands in prayer. “Lord, I pray for milady’s safe return!”

Lian Jiuhua also clasped both his hands in prayer. “Little brother, you must return safely! Otherwise, what will we do if Beiming perishes? I don’t want to a slave to a dead nation!”

Lin Ye, Mo Ye, Wuxin, Wuqing, and the others watched Mei Ye and Lian Jiuhua in contemplation, and started to also clasp their hands in prayer.

Prayer was a must, but what if it came true?
