The crystal was as clear as seawater. Jun Mohuang had never seen such a beautiful crystal ever before.

  When held against her neck, its faint blue color made her snow-white skin look even more tender.

  “This is the Master Crystal. The next time someone tries to spy on you using the Crystal Mirror, it will heat up and guide you to that person.”


  Di Lingtian was very satisfied with the effect of the crystal pendant. Only the best and most beautiful things in the world would suit Huang’er.

  “How many Spirit Stones?”


  Jun Mohuang did not want it for free.

  He might take advantage of her in the future if she accepted more things from him.

  Compared to him gifting it to her, she preferred snatching it from him.

  She would not have the short hand if it was stolen. However, she could not steal this.

  “Dowry.”


  Di Lingtian said that word faintly, and carried her to sit by the stone table.

  Several exquisite dishes were prepared on the table.

  “Come, open your mouth.”


  Di Lingtian tried the food first with chopsticks. He then used the same chopsticks to pick some food for her, and held it by her mouth.

  “I don’t want to taste your saliva.”


  Jun Mohuang’s heart was about to explode. Previously, he knew to use the shared chopsticks.

  Ever since the day she failed in drugging him, Di Lingtian went more and more overboard.

  Today, he even used the chopsticks he ate with to feed her. She couldn’t bear it!

  “Huang’er. You have already eaten a lot of my saliva these few days.”


  Di Lingtian laughed and narrowed his eyes slightly.

  “Or does Huang’er want to be fed using my mouth?”


  This was too much. She had to eat it.

  While she was beside him these few days, she could not activate her magical skills, and thus was unable to escape.

  After lunch, Di Lingtian finally released her.

  ***

  It was the middle of the night. There was no wind nor any sight of the moon, and everything was silent.

  Di Lingtian got up slowly as he was afraid to wake up the person in his arms.

  He rearranged the quilt, and gently kissed her white cheeks.

  Confirming that she had not awakened, he got out of bed and walked slowly to Mohuang Pavilion.

  Just after he reached Mohuang Pavilion, Jun Mohuang who was supposed to be sleeping opened her eyes suddenly.

  It was strange that he was out in the middle of the night.

  However, it was none of her business.

  Jun Mohuang wrapped herself with the quilt again and fell asleep peacefully.

  Although she did not want to follow him, Xiao Jin wanted to.

  “Master, Big Demon has a secret. Don’t you want to check it out?”


  “Not interested.”


  The more she knew, the earlier she would die.

  When she met Di Lingtian, he was locked up in a coffin with a practically indestructible jade-horned python as a guard.

  It was obvious that he was not an ordinary figure.

  Xiao Jin urged, “Master. Go and take a look. Perhaps you might be able to break away from him if you know his secret.”


  Jun Mohuang did not move. “No.”


  Seeing how she was not budging, Xiao Jin jumped on the bed and rolled around agitatedly.

  While rolling, its round body accidentally touched Jun Mohuang’s face. After a golden flash, the person and the orb on the bed disappeared.

  Di Lingtian’s steps were slow and calm, but he was moving at a very fast speed.

  With a few steps, he crossed several streets and arrived at a dense forest outside the city.

  The forest was silent. There were no sounds from the birds, demons, insects, or even the wind. It was extremely strange.

  “Come out!”


  Di Lingtian’s tall figure exuded a strong coercive force, like a monarch in the dark.

  “My Lord. Your men are late. Sorry to keep you waiting.”


  Seven black shadows floated out of the forest with mysterious steps similarly to ghosts.

  They bowed their heads and knelt down respectfully.

  “We’ve only arrived after 10 days. Old rules.”


  “Yes.”
