Nangong Ba and Lan Yan couldn’t help but be stunned after they received news of what happened and saw the floor full of man-eating mosquitoes.
Nangong Ba walked over and asked with an anxious look on his face. “Shuang’er, are you alright?”
Han Moze stood next to Liu Rushuang. Despite being pale in the face, frostiness instantly came over Han Moze’s whole body when he heard Nangong Ba’s caring words.
Liu Rushuang silently twitched her lips. It was really not good for them to exchange hostile looks whenever the two of them meet.
After some contemplation, she said, “Thank you Mayor Nangong for worrying about me. I’m fine.”
“That’s good,” said Nangong Ba kindly, then retreated to one side.
Lan Yan walked up to them and asked in a strict voice, “I wonder, does your majesty the emperor and empress know who’s behind this?”
“For the time being, we don’t know but it definitely has something to do with the dark forest. Next time, I definitely won’t let them get away!” Han Moze growled in a deep voice with furrowed brows.
Little White Flower quickly woke the four Blood Feast elders and they were able to stand up.
The elders saw Han Moze and Liu Rushuang, then immediately and respectfully cupped their fist. “Greetings your majesty the emperor and empress.”
“No need for formalities,” said Han Moze in a deep voice.
“Thank you, your majesty,” said the elders with sincerity in their voices.
“Elders, it’s better if you all call me ‘girl’ or ‘Xuewu’ like before,” smiled Liu Rushuang.
The grand elder smiled brightly and said, “Alright, girl. I want to ask if you’ve found those demonic beasts yet?”
Liu Rushuang shook her head. “Not yet. But I will find them sooner or later.”
The second elder had a stern look on his face. “Xuewu, if you find those demonic beasts, remember not to play hardball and avoid confrontation when possible. You can’t go up against these people!”
Liu Rushuang looked at the worried second elder and obediently replied, “Alright.” In her heart, how could she avoid it? When she comes across those demonic beasts, she would definitely fight with them.
“Xuewu, if you’re free tomorrow, play a round of Xiangqi with me,” grinned the third elder.
“Alright, I’ll definitely come if I have some free time.” Liu Rushuang smiled in response.
Despite looking a little disheveled, the fourth elder had a courteous-looking face that could not hide the lofty character in his very bones. “Xuewu, I’m glad to see that you’re all good and well. You must come visit Blood Feast more often,” he smiled.
“Mhm, I will come back to visit the elders.” Liu Rushuang nodded.
After Little White Flower overexerted herself to save the final assassin, her depleted body swayed and collapsed.
Fortunately Green appeared to catch her in his arms.
Little White Flower smiled kindly at Green, who looked utterly worried, and shut her eyes.
With Little White Flower in his arms, Green walked up to Han Moze with furrowed brows and reported back to him. “Master, I haven’t caught sight of those demonic beasts.”
“Hurry and carry Little White Flower back to the Lotus Pond Island to heal,” said Han Moze in a deep voice.
“Yes, master. I’ll go now and be back soon.” With that said Green disappeared.
After things were resolved, Han Moze and Liu Rushuang stepped into their room to get some rest.
In the evening, Han Moze carried Liu Rushuang. “Shuang’er, in two day’s time, what do you think about withdrawing the troops and heading back to the capital?”
“Alright. I bet you have a lot of things waiting for you back in the capital,” Liu Rushuang said with a grin.
Han Moze shut his eyes and spoke in a soft voice, “Shuang’er, since you’ve been with me, you haven’t had many days where you can rest well. Do you…”
Liu Rushuang reached her hand out to cover Han Moze’s mouth and spoke gently. “Ze, I don’t regret it.”
Han Moze kissed Liu Rushuang in joy.
Peace returned to the evening sky.
