However, just as we arrived at the safe area, thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, followed by a torrential downpour. The flames in Liujiang were soon put out by the gods.

A trace of unwillingness flashed across Ran Mo's eyes as he said, "Let's consider that group of barbarians as lucky this time!"

I patted his shoulder, "So what if it's gone? At any rate, Liujiang City is considered the territory of our Nan Yu Country, and the people of Nan Yu are still living in it!"

It was only then that Ran Mo was relieved.

The group of black-clothed men had been following us silently around. I had some doubts in my heart, so I asked Ran Mo quietly, "Where are you sending me?"

Ran Mo looked at me and didn't call me 'General' anymore. He respectfully said, "This lowly one will now send sire to the palace to rest."

"The palace?"

Jean Mo nodded and told me, "His Imperial Majesty is personally taking the field! Now, we are waiting for you in the palace! "

Yueze is here? My heart started to pound. "Is that true?"

This time, even without his reply, I have already seen a figure appear in front of me … Yueze's tall and straight figure appeared at the corner of the passage. He was walking very quickly and was running towards us!

The black robe was blown away by the wind, and the rain started to rain down on him, quickly soaking his body.

"Hong'er …"

Yueze rushed forward and pulled me into his arms! On the side, everyone kneeled down, bowing their heads, not daring to look up.

I was a little shy, mainly because Jean Mo was still around. He was the only one who dared to look directly into Yue Ze's eyes.

I no longer cared about the looks on the faces of others, because my excitement at the moment was no less than that of Yueze.

"Yueze …" I put my arm around his waist.

"Ling'er, are you alright? It's great that I have finally gotten you out of here safely! " Yueze caressed my face with gratification, his eyes flashing with ecstasy, his obsidian eyes sparkling with starlight and moisture. It was raining heavily. He had run too fast just now, and the attendant in charge of the umbrella could not catch up with him. His long hair was wet from the rain, making him look somewhat haggard.

I threw myself into his arms and hugged him. I knew that I should not be like this at this point, because Yueze was the Emperor and I was his female official. It would only take a few days for news of our intimacy to spread through the Imperial City, but at this moment, I was too happy to worry so much about a beauty like her.

After a while, Yueze released me, took my hand, and led me to the front gate of the palace. "You look very tired," he said. Also, your clothes are getting wet. You have to change them as soon as possible. "

I snuggled up to his shoulder and let him pull me forward. I was willing to go anywhere with him as long as I was with him.

Looking up at the sky, the sky was still densely covered with dark clouds. Lightning was hidden behind the clouds, as if it could strike down at any time. However, at this moment, my heart was exceptionally peaceful and happy, because as long as Yueze was by my side, I wouldn't feel any fear.

In the end, I don't know if it was due to the fact that the lightning didn't attack me again. Perhaps it was because Yue Ze also had some kind of dragon aura on him? Perhaps, the time for the next heavenly tribulation had yet to come. After all, only ten days had passed since the last tribulation. God should have some time to rest, right?

Stepping into the brightly lit palace, I realized that Yueze had come here personally.

The arrival of the emperor of Cang and the fall of Liujiang City had caused a great deal of panic in the country. After all, the overall strength and military might of Cang was much stronger than that of Nan Yu State. That was an unchangeable fact. In order to calm the mood of the court and the people, Yue Ze had specially come from the Imperial City to encourage the warriors at the border. In private, of course, I preferred to believe that he had done so, partly for my sake, but later, when Yueze's personal palace maid told me that the Emperor had left for the frontier as soon as he received the news that I had been captured.

Inside, I shooed the crowd away, and Yueze hugged me again. He held me tightly in his arms and sighed deeply. "I shouldn't have let you come here, Xiao Ling."

I smiled and shook my head, and he took my hand again. Then he noticed the wound on my hand.

Earlier, my hand was completely transformed by that Imperial Physician Shangguan. After being ravaged, the bamboo skewers had not been completely cleaned up yet. When he saw Ran Mo running for his life, he did not have the time to clean up. Now that I was in a safe place, holding onto Yueze's warm hand, I felt a sharp pain in my fingers! It was a kind of heart-wrenching pain, as if one's heart was torn apart but there was nothing one could do about it. It was as if they couldn't find a place to borrow strength to do so.

"Si, it hurts, it hurts …"

A flash of affection appeared in Yue Ze's eyes, and an extremely angry look appeared on his face. "They actually dare to torture you!"

I smiled bitterly, and Yueze suddenly pulled up my sleeve! The wounds on his arm, which had been bound by a rope and had not been healed even after being whipped, were suddenly revealed to him! His eyes darkened even more.

I hastily took off my sleeve and said, "It's just some minor injuries. Our Bai Clan all has a miraculous self-healing ability. You don't have to worry about that."

Yue Ze gritted his teeth, heavily punching the table beside him. The table suddenly cracked!

He said hatefully, "I will definitely seek justice from that fellow, Yan Hua!"

Hearing him talk about Yan Hua, I was stunned again … I ran away, but Yan Hua was still unconscious. How would he feel if he woke up and couldn't see me? Would he be as angry as Yueze?

Sigh, in the end, I still owe more to Yan Hua. He helped me block two bolts of heavenly lightning, but he was injured like that. What would I do if he and Yueze got into a fight?

When I thought of this, my head felt bigger than two because Yan Hua and Yueze were separated only by a few walls, one inside the pass and the other outside! The possibility of him making a move was very high, and it was imminent! When the time comes, who should I help? I'm in such a difficult situation!

Yueze sent for some medicine and gauze to help me clean my wounds. After bandaging my fingers, I wanted to continue cleaning up my wounds. Feeling a little embarrassed, I quickly refused. Bai Lian's body didn't need any healing to heal itself, and right now I really wanted other services.

I said to Yue Ze, "If you have anything good to eat, please bring me some. I haven't eaten good food for over ten days!"

Yue Ze's eyes flashed with a trace of heartache. Then, a plate of delicious roasted chicken was served!

Looking at the fragrant roasted chicken, my heart is very tangled! Although I was no longer the same person from before in Heaven Realm and had secretly tried countless of delicacies in the mortal world, but at this moment, I was struck by lightning and Yue Ze placed a roasted chicken in front of me. I couldn't help but recall my master's repeated warnings … He said, 'My life has never been one for roasted chickens, and it would be better not to have anything to do with feathers, or it would be very unlucky!

Is the recent arrival of the divine lightning related to me secretly eating chickens in the human world? Was it because I had failed to comply with the commandment that I was in trouble?

At this moment, I was truly at a loss.

"Hong'er, what's wrong? Why aren't you using your chopsticks?" Yueze looked at me dotingly.

I gave him a wry smile and waved my ten fingers that were wrapped like mummies. "Forget it, let's exchange for some other simple food!"
