C18 (1/2)

It gave Ye Qiongjiang a strange feeling that the emperor who overlooked all life in the hall was just an ordinary man in front of her. He had the emotions of an ordinary person, he had the emotions of an ordinary person, and would often reminisce about the past.

The fiery light reflected off the side of his face, and the outline was clearly somewhat sharp. The angles were sharp like a drawn sword, but between his brows, there was a hint of gentle gentleness. Like the first sprout that broke through the soil in winter, against the ice and snow, it gave people the green of life.

All this while, she had always been filled with hatred towards him. The huge hat of national hatred pressed down on her, and Xin Su's identity as a Death Soldier tied her up.

Mo Hua did not probe further, and his question just now seemed like a casual question. He picked up the leftover Ice Thread Silver Fish and asked, ”Can you still eat them?”

Ye Qiongjiang made a gesture with the remaining half of the string of Ice Thread Silver Fish in his hand, smiled lightly, and very naturally, received the remaining half of the fish in her hand, eating it even more naturally as she bit down on the remaining half of the fish.

”Sigh!” ”You …” How could the Nine Five Supreme Warriors eat the leftover food of others? In particular … Furthermore, it was something that she had bitten …

Mo Hua laughed, he did not have the sense of being the emperor at all.

Not long later, Mo Hua finished the remaining half of the Ice Threaded Silver Fish that was in Ye Qiongjiang's mouth, but with the entire fish chain in his hands, he had no intention of continuing to eat it.

Mo Hua stood up, grabbed some sand and extinguished the fire.

Seeing that he seemed to be about to leave, Ye Qiongjiang could not help but ask, ”Are we leaving now? That... Is the fish not going to eat? ” Didn't they say that the Great Deity Official would go into a rage?

”Not eating anymore, later on, we will go down the mountain and take a seat in the Star Palace. It's been a long time since I last saw the furious Great Deity Official!”

He spoke with great interest, as though he was rejoicing in his misfortune, yet he had already walked to Ye Qiongjiang's side. He extended a hand out to her who was seated on the ground, and laughed: ”Stand up! ”This time, you have to follow me closely — don't get lost again. The other side is a cliff, if you run as fast as you did, you will fall off.”

Ye Qiongjiang's face flushed at his words. Seeing him reaching out his hand in front of him, wanting to refute, yet being unable to say anything, Ye Qiongjiang hesitated for a moment, before gloomily holding his hand.

When he held it, he could feel that there were some calluses on his palm that had been grinded out. It was a bit rough, but it was also the warmth that made her feel a moment of numbness, as if electricity had struck her spine.

”What's wrong?” Mo Hua asked curiously when he saw that she did not move his hand.

”...” ”No, nothing.” Ye Qiongjiang regained her senses, and his face was red from embarrassment. Fortunately the fire was extinguished, she could not see the redness on his face in the darkness, so she managed to stand up after thinking for a while.

But this person actually followed her grasp and firmly gripped her hand in his own. No matter how she struggled, he still didn't let go, like a scoundrel.

Ye Qiongjiang's current state of mind was something that even she did not understand. She was clearly angry, but after struggling for a bit, she allowed him to hold her hand, as if those two struggles were just an act. Her body acting against her will made her feel even more embarrassed.

Very quickly, the two of them reached the Star Palace located halfway down the mountain.

In the darkness, no matter if one looked from afar or closer, the Star Palace was still as beautiful as ever.

Great Deity Official receiving them in the Star Palace. It did not fly into a rage like Mo Hua had said.

Even if Mo Hua purposely waved the skewer of Ice Thread Silver Fish in front of him, Great Deity Official would not have the slightest bit of emotion at all. He merely pointed at Ye Qiongjiang indifferently, ”Lady Qiong, please rest in your room for a while.”

Ye Qiongjiang was startled, but from the looks of it, he wanted to talk to the Emperor about something that she shouldn't hear. Mo Hua also nodded towards her, indicating that she should listen to Great Deity Official's arrangements.

Ye Qiongjiang tactfully followed the little boy, Sun Yue, who was leading the way, into the inner room.

The so called inner chamber was actually a passage through the main hall of the Star Palace, connected by a corridor to a small living room.

The sun and the moon pushed open the door to the guest hall, but did not enter. They only stood at the door and bowed. ”Please enter by yourself, the sun and the moon are waiting outside for you.”

What did that mean?

Could it be that there was some special arrangement waiting for him inside?

Looking in from the open door, the interior was brightly lit. Inside the small room, two candles in bronze lotus seats were burning, clearly illuminating the interior of the room.

Ye Qiongjiang frowned. Finally, she walked in with large strides, and the sun and moon closed the door behind him.

One bed, one table, one chair.

The furnishings in the room were obvious at a glance.

Only when Ye Qiongjiang walked to the bedside did she become truly shocked.

On the bed, there was a piece of clothing.
