Qi Yu fell into the pool. The steam dispersed. He saw the water below the steam.
“Cough cough cough…”
Qi Yu emerged from the water and grabbed the edge of the pool. “Wife, are you trying to kill me?”
Ming Shu looked down on him. “Clean yourself properly. Don’t dirty my palace.”
Qi Yu: “…”
Was she saying that he was dirty?
F**k. How dare she!
Qi Yu immediately reached out and grabbed Ming Shu’s ankle. He pulled. Ming Shu fell into the pool with her clothes on.
It was not a deep pool. The water was only at their chest.
Qi Yu pushed Ming Shu against the wall of the pool. “You are dirty now too. Let’s wash together.”
The water was warm. The steam floated between the two of them and blurred their faces.
Qi Yu swallowed. He leaned close to Ming Shu.
Ming Shu let him kiss her. However, Qi Yu quickly noticed that something was amiss. The warm air around him seemed to have disappeared. His body started hurting…
He released his grip on Ming Shu and fell into her arms.
“What happened? You were so strong just now.” Ming Shu pulled him to prevent him from falling into the water.
“Pain…”
Qi Yu laid weakly in her arm.
Ming Shu said mercilessly, “Bear with it.”
Qi Yu couldn’t stand up straight. Ming Shu moved him to the side. There was a spot for him to sit.
Qi Yu was trembling. He didn’t dare to hold Ming Shu because he was afraid that he would scratch her.
However, it was really painful.
He felt as if someone was scraping his bones and pulling his soul apart.
His face was pale. Sweat and water dripped down his face and landed on his lips.
His shoulders were submerged in water. The water splashed on his body, occasionally revealing his fair chest.
Ming Shu took off her soaked gown and hugged him. She kissed him. “Bear with it. It will be over soon.”
“Wu…”
The pain kept coming to him in waves. Qi Yu’s gaze turned misty. He felt that he couldn’t handle it anymore.
Just as he was about to lose consciousness, a gentle hand pressed against his chest. Someone moved toward him and kissed him.
His tongue was numb. However, as Ming Shu kissed him, he started to regain some of his feelings.
“Qi Yu, bear with it.”
Qi Yu endured the pain for what felt like a century. The pain disappeared slowly and warmth spread through his body. It soothed the excruciating pain.
He felt himself leaving the pool. Something soft was placed on his body. The person carrying him put him down.
Ming Shu placed Qi Yu on the bed. She raised her hand. The clothes on him turned dry immediately.
She stroked Qi Yu’s forehead and then kissed him.
Xiu Huan appeared silently. She was holding some clean clothes. “Lord.”
“Put it down.”
“Yes.”
Xiu Huan placed the clothes at the side.
She looked at the person lying on the bed. She was shocked. Then, she quickly lowered her head and retreated to the side.
This young man… Where did Lord find this young man?
He had such pure reiki on him. Also… Lord’s aura could be felt on his body too.
Xiu Huan remembered that Lord pushed this young man into the pool. She knew that the young man’s identity would not change.
He would be Thousand Mirror Mountain’s master from now on.
Ming Shu ordered Xiu Huan out of the room. She dressed Qi Yu up and then left the room.
“When he wakes up, let him rest in the room. If he creates a fuss, bring him to me. I will go and meet the advisor of Liyang Country now.”
“Yes.”
…
There were three continents in the Thousand Mirror World: Xuanzi, Congtian, Dongyuan.
Liyang Country was the only country in Xuanzi Continent.
The advisor of Liyang Country was dressed extravagantly. He was handsome. The luxurious golden decorations in the hall didn’t affect the pure aura of the advisor.
The advisor sensed something. He looked in a certain direction.
He had a pair of silver eyes.
His gaze was calm.
After taking a glance, he lowered his eyes and bowed down. “Lord.”
Ming Shu walked to the seat at the top and sat down. “The country changed many advisors but not many dared to come and find me.”
“No one dared to blaspheme against you. Your name can only be looked up to.” Yue Ge’s voice was calm. It was hard to tell if he really respected Ming Shu.
Ming Shu smiled. “What is the matter?”
Yue Ge looked up. He met Ming Shu’s gaze. “The Apocalypse Pagoda was activated for some reason.”
When Little Beastie urged her to come back, she had guessed that it had something to do with the Apocalypse.
The full name of the Apocalypse was the Apocalypse Pagoda.
That’s right. It was a pagoda… the dilapidated pagoda.
Qi Yu had a pirated version of the pagoda. Now, something was wrong with the Apocalypse Pagoda.
If this was just a coincidence, she would commit suicide.
Yue Ge requested, “Please follow me to the pagoda and find the reason for the sudden change.”
Ming Shu didn’t say anything. Yue Ge maintained his position.
The hall was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. The atmosphere was suffocating.
Ming Shu asked, “Did you all enter the pagoda?”
Yue Ge replied, “Without your order, no one from the Xuanzi Continent dared to enter the pagoda. However…”
He paused. “When I left my country, Congtian Continent sent some people in. I’m not sure what the results are.”
Yue Ge heard the lady laughing softly. He didn’t know if she was being sarcastic or mocking him.
Ming Shu asked again, “Did anything strange happen before the Apocalypse Pagoda was activated?”
Yue Ge replied without hesitation, “The day before Apocalypse Pagoda was activated, the reiki around the pagoda disappeared. The Thousand Mirror World started trembling but no cause was found. I’m sure that Lord is clear about this.”
Ming Shu: “…”
Why would she be clear about it?
She wasn’t even here.
Of course, she couldn’t tell him that. She had her ego.
The world started trembling…
Did something sneak into their world?
The activation of the Apocalypse Pagoda was definitely a bad sign.
…
“Mister, where are you going?”
The moment Qi Yu opened the door, he saw Xiu Huan standing outside.
Qi Yu was wearing a black gown. The outer layer consisted of a thin black shaw. It was smooth and soft.
Qi Yu looked at Xiu Huan without any expression on his face. His aura prevented anyone from getting near him. “Where is she?”
“Lord is meeting a guest,” Xiu Huan replied. “Would you like to rest in your room or find Lord?”
Qi Yu thought for a moment. “Lead the way.”
“Yes.”
Xiu Huan led the way in front of him. Qi Yu realized that there were many people around. When he walked through each corridor, he would see at least two groups of people.
“Why do you have so many people here?” Qi Yu asked.
“Mister, there are not many people here.”
Not many?
Who am I seeing then? Ghosts?
Xiu Huan felt that there was nothing to hide regarding this matter so she explained, “Lord prefers a lively atmosphere. She feels that it is not good to have a quiet and dead palace so all the demons and spirits living in the mountain were brought here. There are really not many humans in the palace.”
Of course, Xiu Huan didn’t tell Qi Yu that most of these demons and spirits were caught by Lord. When she realized that they could talk, she would throw them back into the mountain.
Qi Yu looked at the figures walking past him. Lively atmosphere?
She does seems to like it when things are lively…
