354 I’m Here Now 3 (1/2)

”Mind what you say.” Jun Wu Yao threw an unmistakable warning and carried Jun Wu Xie into her room.

Rong Ruo appeared moments later and was shocked when he saw Yan Bu Gui standing pale faced, completely drenched in the rain.

”Master!”

Yan Bu Gui raised a hand and shook his head. ”No matter what you saw, do not breathe a word about it to anyone. He is not a man we can afford to offend.”

The Dark Emperor was still alive and if the Dark Realm were to find out, they would most certainly receive their revered Emperor back to lead them readily. But….. why was the Dark Lord remaining here in the Lower Realm? What had actually happened at that time? News of the Dark Lord's demise had spread throughout the realm then, how did he come to be here in the Lower Realm?

Yan Bu Gui held his confused mind in his hands and he suddenly laughed.

”Hahaha! The Twelve Palaces are as good as dead now.”

The Dark Lord's black snake had the ability to delve into a person's mind and know everything the person knew. The Dark Lord knew that Yan Bu Gui had indeed broken away from the Palace of Life, that also meant….. he knew about that other matter as well.

Rong Ruo stared at Yan Bu Gui who had suddenly laughed out loud in consternation, but he decided to remain silent.

When Jun Wu Xie woke up, she saw a familiar face before her. Her cold eyes blinked a few times before she became fully awake.

”Next time, don't do such dangerous things.” Jun Wu Yao lay on the side of the bed, his hand propping up his head, as he said smilingly.

While Jun Wu Xie was unconscious, he had checked on her soul. He found that the once intact soul had become extremely weak. Jun Wu Xie had not sustains much external wounds but her body was currently very weak. And that weakness stemmed from the deficiency in her soul. Wounds on the body were easier to heal but injuries to the soul…..

Jun Wu Yao narrowed his eyes as he went deep in thought, but realising that Jun Wu Xie was watching him, he wiped those worries away from his face.

”He died for me.” Jun Wu Xie sat up. ”And I didn't even know his name.”
