Beiting Huang had no idea that Xu Xiaomo was actually a girl—if he had known, he’d probably be even less composed. He had a lot of faith in his brother’s character, believing he was not the kind of person to take advantage of others in their time of need. However, things do not always go as planned, and Xu Xiaomo was not the boy everyone thought she was.
The Great Elder had specifically arranged a larger palace for Lord Beiting Jing and had informed him that there were two wings to the palace, an east wing and a west wing. Originally, Lord Beiting Jing and Xu Xiaomo were to sleep in separate rooms. Who could have known that after Xu Xiaomo fell asleep, she’d become quite the handful, incessantly asking for water, having nightmares, and making all sorts of noises? Eventually, while Beiting Huang was covering her with a blanket, she grabbed him in a tight embrace and refused to let go.
After the day’s exertions, Lord Beiting Jing was also tired. He planned to wait until Xu Xiaomo was in a deeper sleep before breaking free, but he accidentally fell asleep himself.
The mornings in Yan City were the most beautiful time of the day when spider lilies opened up amidst the rosy dawn, releasing their enchanting fragrance. The spiritual qi was so dense it rippled like water, visible to the naked eye and creating ripples when caressed by a gentle breeze. Many people would seize the early hours to practice cultivation and enhance their strength.
Dawn was breaking in the east, and on the rooftops of the Imperial City, one could see people meditating in various states of cultivation.
“Ah!”
A piercing scream nearly flipped over all the rooftops of the Imperial City, causing several weaker individuals to incur reverse qi flow, almost leading to cultivation deviation. Fortunately, there were experts at every turn ready to offer assistance in time, preventing any real cases of cultivation deviation.
Still, this false alarm greatly irritated them, as such an incident had not occurred in Yan City for ten thousand years.
“What on earth has happened?” someone asked indignantly.
Nobody could answer them, but seeing the Great Elder hurrying towards the source of the scream, followed by the sight of the City Lord and the Demon Queen rushing over together, those who had wanted to go take a look out of curiosity suppressed their urge.
Lord Beiting Jing felt extremely aggrieved as his lack of strength resulted in being kicked off the bed by Xu Xiaomo. Rubbing his sore bottom from the fall, he glared unhappily at Xu Xiaomo, who was sitting on the bed looking at him with a complex gaze.
The two held their gazes, one standing, the other sitting. Lord Beiting Jing was somewhat speechless, while Xu Xiaomo truly did not know what to say.
Fortunately, a knock outside the door broke the silence, allowing Xu Xiaomo to breathe a sigh of relief. The voices of Chi Fei and Chi Lan came from outside, inquiring what had happened to Xu Xiaomo. She, in a state of panic and fear that they might come in, stammered, “Nothing, nothing, I just saw a roach on the ground.”
A roach? What kind of magical beast was that? Why had they never heard of it?
Outside, the Great Elder and the Chi Fei Brothers exchanged puzzled looks, none of them had ever heard of this creature. Even Yan Ye, who had arrived, was bewildered. Having encountered many planes, he had never heard of this type of magical beast, let alone seen one.
Upon hearing this, the Chi Fei Brothers thought, my goodness, it must be an incredibly powerful magical beast! Who would have imagined that even the place thought to be the safest on the Central Continent could harbor such a dangerous creature?
The two of them were immediately frantic; if anything happened to Xu Xiaomo while with them, they wouldn’t be able to live with themselves. Even if Emperor Mo might spare them, the Great Sovereign Chi Xiao, their father, would never forgive them.
