MTL - Do You Know How to Capture a Villain?-Chapter 97 97%
After Candle Moth finished speaking, Ji Qingzhuo found that Shen Rongyu's arms holding her were getting colder and colder.
Shen Rongyu knew that Zhu Mo was talking about something he didn't know. According to her description, his mother fell from the tower, which caused panic in the entire palace.
But in his memory, if he or his mother died in any corner of the palace, it would not cause waves in anyone's heart.
This should have happened before his birth.
Ji Qingzhuo looked at Candle Moth's round bun, she moved slightly, and held Shen Rongyu's hand, his palm was also cold.
She felt an inexplicable feeling of discomfort, which aroused her desire to protect from nowhere. She always wanted everything around her to be fine, and of course Shen Rongyu also wanted to be fine.
But he's the villain, and he's never going to get better.
Candle Moth stood up, and she walked behind the portrait. Behind the hanging portrait, there was a large box with a seal on it. The pattern printed on the seal was the seal of the Dongshan Royal Family.
"This is the same token that my uncle kept. He never opened it, so I just put it here and never moved it." Emperor Liang looked at the big box and let out a low sigh.
Some stories, just listening to some fragments, knew that their ending was destined to be tragic, like the extinguished fire fold in his uncle's arms.
"I'm not interested in human affairs." Zhu Mo closed his eyes and said with a smile, "Liang Xing, do you want to see it?"
The emperor of Liang was named Liang Xing, and Zhu Mo called him by his first name directly, which was alienated and rude, but he himself didn't seem to care about it.
"Curiosity is not a good thing. I have already paid the price for curiosity." Liang Xing said in a deep voice, "I will send you back, and I will leave. They will not come to the palace again. You must protect yourself. I am just a mortal. What restrains them is only the morality of their orthodox sect."
"Do you believe that human beings are moral?" Candlemoth grinned again, "We are all the same."
Liang Xing gave a wry smile, and he left the secret room of Candle Palace, leaving Candle Moth standing alone.
Candlemoth didn't take the conversation just now to heart, her sleeve with the strange eyes painted on it moved, and flew upwards, she liked to perch on the beam.
The place where she landed was only a stone's throw away from where Shen Rongyu and Ji Qingzhuo were hiding, and Ji Qingzhuo saw that weird round bun winking at her again.
Candle Moth's body was cold, and the antennae dangling from her forehead were flickering, extremely weird.
Shen Rongyu's body was also cold, his arms holding her were cold and stiff, as if he was already dead.
Ji Qingzhuo was caught between them, his eyes widened and he was at a loss.
She wanted to turn around and give Shen Rongyu a hug, but in the current situation, she didn't dare to move at all, and the candle moth was here, how would they leave?
The atmosphere froze until Ji Qingzhuo, who had been silent all along, took the initiative to break the silence for the first time.
"Candlemoth." She called Candlemoth.
The soft female voice from nowhere made Zhu Mo sit up vigilantly - she really didn't notice the existence of Shen Rongyu and Ji Qingzhuo.
"You... can you give way, it's a bit crowded." Ji Qingzhuo said.
The sharp voice of the candle moth came: "Who are you?!"
"You...don't care who I am." Ji Qingzhuo stammered even to frighten the demon, "Give way, we're going back."
"A monk who came to the palace today?" Candle Moth narrowed his eyes and asked.
"No." Ji Qingzhuo denied it. She was a monk, but not Meng Yaolan.
Candle Moth thought to herself, if she can hide in front of her, the other party has at least as high cultivation level as her, and now there are powerful monks watching outside the palace, it is not wise to start a conflict.
The deal between her and Liang Xing was not something shady, she was not afraid of being exposed, since human beings were greedy, they had to pay the price of dealing with demons - including damage to his own reputation, which was also one of the costs.
"I... I'm a little curious." Seeing that Shen Rongyu was holding her in her arms, Ji Qingzhuo had been silent all the time. She remembered that Shen Rongyu had taught herself not long ago that if she wanted to know something, she had to take the initiative to speak up, so she boldly turned against the customer and directly Ask about the candle moth.
"What are you curious about?" Zhu Mo actually chatted with Ji Qingzhuo—because Ji Qingzhuo's words had a desire to confide.
"That woman in the palace." Ji Qingzhuo said, she felt Shen Rongyu who was holding her move.
"She is the queen in the palace, respected by everyone, and she is so beautiful. I don't know why she can't think about it and jumped off the high tower." Candle Moth said with her head tilted, and the tentacles on her forehead trembled again, "She There seemed to be light in her eyes, but I met her later—she is a queen, how could the palace let her die, and before she fell to the ground, she was rescued by the guards kept in the palace."
"But when the light is extinguished, it is extinguished, and I will never see it again." Candlemoth approached the source of the voice, "Who are you? Are you human? If you are human, I will eat you."
When she was about to meet Ji Qingzhuo, Shen Rongyu's invisible blood spring shot out, knocking her back and falling on the beam.
The tyrannical emotion belonging to the demon rose in the candle moth's eyes, she threw back her hand, and the poisonous scale powder on the sleeve fell down, but it could not harm Shen Rongyu.
"Are you a demon too?" Candlemoth asked warily.
"I'm not." Ji Qingzhuo said immediately, she pressed Shen Rongyu's hand, "Don't do anything, I just...ask me something I'm curious about."
Candle moth laughed "hee hee", she laughed and said: "A demon, how come you have two faces, you are so abnormal."
When Candle Moth said these words, Ji Qingzhuo and Shen Rongyu were both stunned, and Shen Rongyu's Xuequan, who was planning to shoot down Candle Moth, also became weary.
Candle Moth felt the momentary change in the atmosphere, even though Shen Rongyu stopped the offensive now, it seemed that there was a deadly killing intent spreading again, even if she was as evil as her, she became afraid.
"I don't care what you're here for, but you'd better leave now, otherwise I'll fight with you and attract monks from outside the palace, and we'll all die." Candle moth is not a fool, she knows who In this snow, they all have an absolute strength advantage.
Ji Qingzhuo looked at his round bun and didn't speak any more. The candle moth stepped back and opened the mechanism on the relief wall to let them leave.
Shen Rongyu didn't make any more moves, and only left with Ji Qingzhuo. From the beginning to the end, they were not exposed to Zhu Moth.
Shen Rongyu took off the disguise after leaving Candle Palace far away, and Ji Qingzhuo and his figure suddenly appeared on the snow.
"Xiaoyu?" Ji Qingzhuo turned his head and looked at Shen Rongyu.
"Huh?" Shen Rongyu's complexion was as usual, he controlled his emotions very well, but the unwarmed body temperature exposed him.
"Yes, is it uncomfortable?" Ji Qingzhuo asked him in a low voice.
"No." Shen Rongyu lied again.
It wasn't a very bitter thing, and even his time in the Dongshan royal family was already considered as comfortable and happy as heaven.
Ji Qingzhuo is not very good at comforting people, but she always feels that her chest is blocked, and she has almost never developed such a great curiosity about a person.
What kind of person is Shen Rongyu, and what kind of experience does he have?
She stopped walking back to Youzhuyuan, at this time, there was snow falling from the sky.
"Xiaoyu, I don't know how to coax people." Ji Qingzhuo said.
Shen Rongyu also said something similar, he meant that he didn't want to coax people, but what she meant was that she really couldn't coax people.
She has such emotions that urgently need to be expressed, but she doesn't know how to express them.
So she turned around, stood on tiptoe, and opened her arms towards Shen Rongyu for the first time.
She wrapped her arms around his narrow waist, hugged him tightly, and pressed her sideways cheek against his chest.
"Xiaoyu, you are fine, I hope you can be happier." Ji Qingzhuo whispered to him.
Shen Rongyu said: "I'm not unhappy."
He grabbed Ji Qingzhuo's back with his backhand. Her body was thin and small, and he only needed to wrap her around slightly to fully embrace her.
Ji Qingzhuo thought that her embrace was like protection and comfort, but with her petite body, it was a bit like throwing herself into her arms.
But she is serious.
Ji Qingzhuo hugged him silently, not knowing what to say.
Until Shen Rongyu spoke: "Zhuo Zhuo, smile."
Ji Qingzhuo was a little puzzled: "Why do you want me to laugh?"
"If you smile, I will be happy." Shen Rongyu finally thought of teasing her.
Ji Qingzhuo raised her head, she will not lie, nor will she fake a smile, but she is trying her best to do so, so there are two funny arcs on her lips, she is good-looking, even with such a weird expression, she does It looks cute too.
Shen Rongyu looked into her eyes, the emotions in her eyes were always soft and tolerant, a gentleness enough to accommodate everything.
He raised his hand, and covered Ji Qingzhuo's cheek under his big palm.
"Go back." His body temperature gradually became warmer.
"Okay." Ji Qingzhuo leaned into his arms and whispered.
She thought she must protect him.
The two leaned against the palace wall in the snow, and the heavy snow fell one after another. Their embracing figures were like isolated islands, but they were extremely warm, as if only each other was the only comfort in this world.
Those who returned to Youzhu Garden didn't know that after they left, Candle Moth leaned against the relief wall behind her in a panic, and she raised her hand to touch her bun. Everything that happened just now seemed to be It's a dream.
The voice that appeared out of nowhere, her act of letting them go, everything seemed to be by accident.
Candlemoth stumbled towards the big box behind the portrait. She vaguely knew that the woman in the portrait was unusual, and she was eager to know the truth. Perhaps the big box left with the portrait contained the clues she wanted to know .
She lifted the seal on the box, and moved quickly, the thin paper in the box was blown up by the wind of her sleeves.
Yes, there are a lot of letterheads in the box. Candlemoth looked carefully and found that the contents of these letterheads seemed to be exchanges between lovers. There were also some old objects with them, most of which were women's supplies. Something like that, but at the bottom, there is a book that looks out of place. Looking at the words on the cover of the book, you can know that it is a travel journal.
Candle Moth opened the travel notes, and saw that one of the pages was folded, and the seaside scenery was drawn with simple lines on it, including the sky and the ocean, swimming fish and birds, but the picture was so simple that it was almost impossible to distinguish between the sea and the sea. The sky's the limit.
Next to this picture, there is a line of immature but carefully written words, which were written after turning the book upside down.
"Flying birds have scales, and swimming fish have wings."
"Zuozhuo agreed, you want to go to the beach with me."
