C114

Under the clear and starry sky.

Su Jianjian and Gong Yucang sat on the grass side by side, they raised their heads and looked up at the starry sky, and unknowingly, she had already descended for almost three months, and suddenly missed the days in Heaven Palace.

Even though she was bullied a lot when she was in the Heavenly Palace, it was still her home.

And even though it was fine in the mortal world, it was not her final resting place after all.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a bit lost in her heart.

It was the same starry sky above him, but Gong Yucang's feelings were completely different. In his heart, the sky was evil, opposing, and impossible to coexist with.

He thought back to the Great War of the Gods and Demons 800 years ago. As the Demon King, he had the misfortune to lose and remained in the mortal world until now.

And the ones who caused all this were the self-proclaimed extraordinary immortals in the Heavenly Palace.

Thinking of this, Gong Yucang's eyes flashed with a trace of malice. He slowly turned his gaze towards Su Jianjian, who was beside him. Although she was also a member of the Heavenly Palace, for some reason, every time he saw her, he would feel an unusual sense of familiarity.

But she was clearly his enemy.

This feeling gave birth to a deep contradiction in Gong Yucang's heart.

He gazed at Su Jianjian's slightly serious face and asked, "You really like that piece of starry sky?"

Hearing Gong Yucang's question, Su Jianjian looked at him slowly and said, "You don't think it's beautiful?"

Gong Yucang raised his eyebrows, he did not think that it was very beautiful, but instead thought that it was the most evil place. However, he would not speak of his true thoughts, and said with a frown, "The beauty of this world can never be seen solely by appearances."

Hearing this, Su Jianjian was a little surprised, she had never heard anyone evaluate the Heavenly Palace in such a way before.

"Then do you think this beauty is only a facade?"

However, Gong Yucang scoffed and said, "Whether or not it looks is not important, as everyone has different standards in their heart."

Su Jianjian thought about it, and it made sense as everyone had different standards. In her heart, the Heaven Palace was a home, a place where she could feel safe.

No one could understand it.

She had never dared to bring it up with anyone, not to mention when she was with a mortal. She was afraid that Gong Yucang would treat her like a lunatic.

After all, the mortal world was an era of science and technology, and atheists abounded everywhere.

Therefore, Su Jianjian changed the topic and said, "Oh right, how long have you been living here?"

"It's been a while."

Gong Yucang said.

"Do you know anything about the neighborhood?" Su Jianjian asked.

Gong Yucang paused, and said, "I don't know much about it, but if you want to go anywhere, I'm willing to accompany you."

Hearing her words, Su Jianjian's eyes lit up.

"Then do you know the lake villa behind the mountain?"

Gong Yucang froze for a moment, then asked, "Why did you ask about that place?"

Su Jianjian paused for a moment, then said: "Oh, it's nothing, I just happened to pass by once, and saw that it's pretty beautiful there, so I asked casually."

She said somewhat guiltily.

Hearing his words, Gong Yucang finally calmed down.

The villa was the one he had stayed at before, but he hadn't been there for a long time.

"If you want to go, I can show you."

Hearing this, Su Jianjian was startled, "You know the owner of the villa?"

Gong Yucang smiled, thinking that he knew the owner of that place, it was him.

However, he did not want anyone, including Su Jianjian, to know about this matter. After all, as the Demon King, he had no fixed place to stay and would never reveal his place of residence.

He nodded, "I have some connections."

Initially, she had only asked casually and did not expect him to know anything. However, she did not expect him to actually say that he knew the owner of the villa. If that was the case, she could easily find the mastermind behind the scenes and figure out the conspiracy behind their backs.

Thinking about it this way, Su Jianjian not only gained some attention in his heart.

Ye Sijue hurriedly walked out of the villa, and quickly returned. He realized that his concern for Su Jianjian had caused him to panic, so he forgot to check the security cameras and see in which direction Su Jianjian had gone. This way, he could have a clear direction to search for him.

As a result, he turned around and opened the monitoring system at the villa's entrance. Su Jianjian did not leave, but instead went towards the bamboo forest at the back.

Thus, he hurriedly followed the bamboo forest to look for it.

However, he couldn't find anyone even after searching around the bamboo forest for a long time.

Ye Sijue was not only a little confused, he had clearly seen Su Jianjian carrying the dog and walking over just now.

Thus, what was going on? He had almost searched through the bamboo forest, but he was still unable to find them.

Ye Sijue was puzzled.

Suddenly, he saw two people sitting on the grass near the bamboo forest not far away.

Because of the dim light and the distance, he could not see their faces clearly.

Thus, he slowly walked over.

When he got closer, he realized that there was a man and a woman sitting there.

The lady had a head of long black hair draped over her shoulders, the moonlight shone onto her white and tender cheeks, releasing a faint blush, giving her a spirited beauty, and who else could that woman be other than Su Jianjian?

Ye Sijue, who was sitting beside her, looked over and felt that it was a bit familiar. As for where he had seen the man before, he could not remember where.

Seeing the two of them sitting there chatting happily, Ye Sijue gritted his teeth.

Very good!

He didn't return home in the middle of the night, causing him to look around for a long time. So he was actually sitting here with a wild man, looking at the stars and the moon.

Humph!

If he knew earlier, he wouldn't have come looking for her.

Thinking about it, Ye Sijue became extremely annoyed, and almost turned to leave. He had only taken two steps before he stopped.

That's not right, why should he leave? This was clearly his territory, and without his permission, he dared to stay here and watch the stars and the moon.

Thinking about it, Ye Sijue turned and walked back.

"Su Jianjian, you are really in a leisurely mood. You didn't go home to sleep at night, and now you're dating here?"

Su Jianjian and Gong Yucang were chatting casually when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind. She jumped in shock and immediately turned her head, only to see Ye Sijue's tall figure standing behind her, staring at her with a pair of mocking eyes.

Su Jianjian was not only stunned; when did he come, and why didn't she feel it at all?

It was all her fault for being so engrossed in chatting with Gong Yucang just now.

Su Jianjian immediately stood up, and asked with surprise: "Mr. Ye, why are you here?"

Ye Sijue let out a cold snort, and shifted his gaze onto Gong Yucang's face. His expression was calm, as if he was not the least bit surprised by his arrival.
