When Su Limei returned and didn't see Ji Fei'er, he guessed that this woman had gone out to play again. She really couldn't stay for more than a quarter of an hour. The two of them had been in a cold war for the past few days, and the woman was really not tactful. She kept pestering him to find the whereabouts of the Little White Snake, so how could he possibly tell her that he was the one who transformed the Little White Snake?
He left the room, took a few steps, and came to the door of a small study.
After hearing the news from Lv Qi and Lv Yi, she would spend the next few days hiding in the cave to draw. Furthermore, she didn't need to draw with a brush or ink. Instead, she asked them to bring some charcoal.
According to the description of the two maids, she could draw a vivid picture with charcoal, and it looked like it was real. He was curious as to what kind of painting could cause them to praise it to such an extent. Since he had nothing better to do, he decided to investigate.
As he interacted with her, he noticed more and more that this little girl had a lot of strange ideas. They were both novel and fun to him, causing his emotions to involuntarily stir up.
Pushing the door open, he walked in.
These past few days, she hadn't really cared about Ye Ci, but she had instead found a small piece of land for herself. Looking at the layout of the study, even though it was small, it was very warm and quiet.
On a table not far away, there were several pieces of paper placed on top of the inkstone. That should be the "stunning" painting that Lv Qi and the others had mentioned!
The figure in white slowly walked over and saw the first painting.
It was a modern sketch, carefully depicted in strips of carbon, of a pool of waterlily that had come out of the mud and not stained it. It was a pure white paper. It was a monotonous black. However, it was as if she had drawn a soul. It was colorless, colourless, and extremely lifelike. Even he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
He did not expect that this woman was not so useless. Using ordinary charcoal to draw such a stunning painting was much better than painting with ink and ink.
He moved the inkstone and read it one by one.
Green Bamboo, Orchid Flower, Wipe Willow... It wasn't until the last one that the picture began to change.
The first few were landscape paintings, while the last one was a human painting.
He picked it up and examined it carefully. Suddenly, his expression became grave and his eyes revealed disbelief. Because of his excitement, even his hands were trembling violently.
This... How was this possible?
In the painting, there was a beautiful young girl. She was wearing modern clothes and a modern outfit, but he definitely wouldn't recognize her face. That was … Zixuan!
In the lower right-hand corner of the portrait was her inscription... Self-portrait, Ji Fei'er.
What did self-portrait mean? It was obvious that the woman in the painting was Zixuan! The shock in his heart could no longer be described with words.
He rushed out of the room like a madman. He wanted to see her immediately and ask her about everything.
At this time, Lv Qi and Lv Yi, who had lost Ji Fei'er, hurried back. When they saw him, they hurriedly greeted him, "Monarch, it's bad, Your Ladyship's gone!"
"Where is she?"
"We accompanied Your Ladyship to the imperial flower garden. She ran very fast and soon disappeared without a trace. We searched for a long time but still couldn't find her, so we hurried back to report to the Emperor." Although the two of them were specifically serving Ji Fei'er under Su Limei's orders, they did indeed gradually fall in love with this master, so they were very worried for her.
Su Limei couldn't wait any longer. With a flash of silver light, he disappeared on the spot.
"..."
She knew that the original owner of her body was Princess Fox Clan, and if Fox Clan wanted to rebel, they would definitely view her as a thorn in their side. However, she had already given Su Limei a chance to frame her, but he did not expose her.
"What do you mean?" Perhaps, she could obtain some information from Shang Moxue.
"Right now, Demon Realm is already a matter of internal and external concern. To think that Fox Clan would dare to add insult to injury at a time like this, this king has long wanted to take action. Since Mei is unwilling to take action, then let this king eliminate a spy like you in Fox Clan for Demon Realm!
Blue light condensed in his palm, and his eyes revealed a murderous intent.
Ji Fei'er was shocked and shouted loudly, "You …" What do you want? You can't kill me, or else you'll definitely regret it. "
Her heart was filled with regret. Why didn't she just stay in her room and run out to touch this bad luck? She didn't want to die!
Hearing her last sentence, Shang Moxue frowned, "Only if I don't kill you will I regret it. My death is near at hand, what other tricks are you trying to play!?"
"If you want to kill me, you have to give me a reason, right? "Why can't I remember that there is a deep hatred between Wolf King and myself, to the point where you must kill me?"
She wanted to poison Su Limei in the beginning, but she didn't do it in the end, right? Later, when he saw through it, he did not say anything. What was Wolf King so excited about?
"You still dare to pretend? Do you really think that your Fox Clan's despicable means can hide things from the heavens? Or do you think that this king will allow you to really poison the Monarch? "
Ji Fei'er finally understood that he was indeed talking about the poison that Yue Wuxiu told her to poison Su Limei.
She was too naive, and here was the Demon Realm. They were all powerful and powerful demons, and were not ordinary mortals, so monitoring her conversation with Yue Wuxiu was a piece of cake, and only she herself was still very foolish and naïve enough to think that she could get what she wanted.
Right now, he still had to hurry up and make his position clear in order to protect his own life.
"Please don't misunderstand. I didn't want to poison the Monarch, nor did I want to harm him!"
"You despicable and shameless woman, father and daughter colluding together, you dare to be stubborn even when death is at hand?"
Ji Fei'er had never been scolded so harshly in her life before, so she was a little angry now.
"To think that you're even Wolf King, the king of the wolf world, you don't even know the most basic of principles. This is the Imperial Palace of the Demon Realm, no matter how much courage I have, I still wouldn't dare to play tricks in front of all of you right? Furthermore, if Su Limei really died, I would've been the first one to escape this responsibility and would've definitely died, so how could I do something that would only harm others and not myself? "
Shang Moxue gave a cold snort, "You are the Fox Clan Princess, so naturally everything is for the Fox Clan, so it isn't a loss if I sacrifice one of you."
Although he had questioned that Yue Feiyan was not the original Yue Feiyan after her death, upon seeing the trade between her and Yue Wuxiu, he was certain that it must have been a scheme by Fox Clan.
"I suppose you've heard about my amnesia? Su Limei, Yue Wuxiu, and everything else here are all very unfamiliar to me. When he forced me to poison Su Limei that day, wouldn't it make him even more suspicious if I rejected him directly? So, I could only agree to it temporarily.
"Sometimes, it might not be true even if you see it with your own eyes. Maybe he has his own difficulties. "Even if Yue Wuxiu and I really are father and daughter, he is still a stranger to me right now. Why would I risk my life for a stranger?" Ji Fei'er was both emotional and reasonable. She had already said this much, it would be too much if she continued to make things difficult for him.
Hearing her words, Shang Moxue's eyes slightly narrowed, as if he was considering the authenticity of her words.
Ji Fei'er watched as the blue light in his hand faded until it disappeared. She heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally escaped death.
However, he didn't expect that in the next second, an azure sword appeared out of nowhere in his hand. It exuded an eerie coldness as the tip of the sword was pointed in her direction.
"You would rather kill a thousand wrongly than to let off a single one of them. You should just leave your grievances to the King of Hell!"
Ji Fei'er was shocked. She closed her eyes and felt a little bit sad. She tried so hard to protect herself, but it was all for nothing. She didn't want to die, but what was the use?
Her heart was filled with fear of death, but the pain she imagined did not come. She only felt her body lighten as someone grabbed her waist, but she did not dare open her eyes. Her entire body was trembling slightly.
Only when she heard an angry roar did she slightly regain her senses.
"Mei, do you know what you're doing?"
"I should be the one asking you this. What do you want to do with this duke's Beloved Consort?" Su Limei's handsome face showed his anger. Even if he was his good brother, he couldn't accept it.
He was just a step away. Luckily, he arrived in time, otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to imagine … Shang Moxue really did have the intention to kill. If he were to swing his sword at Ji Fei'er, she would definitely die. He didn't know what he was feeling at the time, just like how he had watched Zixuan jump down the Immortal Execution Altar. He was nervous, worried, and even had a trace of heartache in his heart.
Back then, he hadn't been able to save Zixuan in time, but now, he couldn't repeat the tragedy that happened back then.
"I am doing this for the Demon Realm, this woman cannot be left alive, she must die!"
Ji Fei'er opened her eyes and saw Su Limei in front of her. He had just saved her and she was in his arms now. If he didn't do anything, she would have died for sure.
Shocked and wronged, her nose soured as tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Su Limei, why did you just arrive? I was so scared. I almost couldn't see you again!"
Su Limei lightly patted her back to comfort her. However, he looked at Shang Moxue with a sharp gaze.
"This King told you long ago not to touch her. Moxue, I hope this will be the last time." They did not intend to pursue the responsibility of their good brothers, so they all agreed to it tacitly.
"Why must you protect this woman? She's a spy on our Fox Clan, leaving her by our side for even one day would be detrimental to us. Maybe she would have already leaked the secret of our Imperial Palace before you knew it!" Shang Moxue was so angry that he jumped up and down. His pretty eyes were practically about to spew fire.
"She won't!" Although Su Limei's tone was slow, it was firm.
