Concubine Hui gazed at the unbelievably handsome blonde man's face with eyes full of infatuation. Her face couldn't help but completely flush red and she stuttered as she spoke with a gentle voice."S-sir... since you saved me, how may I repay you? I... I am willing to be your maid. All I wish for is to repay my savior."
The emotionless blonde man heard what Concubine Hui said and replied with a cold voice."If you would really like to repay me, then don't ever trouble the emperor and empress of Beiming."
Concubine Hui's eyes instantly shot wide open. Shock and disbelief were written all over her face and even her voice had a slight tremble in it."W-why? Unless, they mean something to you?"
The blonde man thought about it for a moment, then said, "You don't need to know our relations. All you need to remember is that if you dare harm the emperor and empress of Beiming, I'll definitely kill you, " he said with a cold voice.
Concubine Hui's entire body shuddered and started to stiffen up. She thought about it for a moment, then nodded in agreement."Alright, I promise to follow your orders."
She raised her flushed face to looked at the blonde man and flashed a faint smile."After speaking with you sir, I still don't know your name. Might I know your name?" She asked.
The blonde man looked emotionless as usual but glared chillingly at Concubine Hui."My surname is Phoenix, " he said with his thin lips.
Just then, a gust of cold air blew in and the blonde man disappeared before Concubine Hui's very eyes. The man's bewitching, melodic voice continued to echo in the room.
Concubine Hui was instantly left stunned. What a powerful man! Who the hell was he?
With a racing heart and a flushed face, Concubine Hui stared at the spot the blonde man just stood."Lord Phoenix, I've just realized that I've fallen in love with you. What should I do?" She whispered.
Then, she reached her slender hand out and glanced at it. Her face instantly froze. Isn't this my own hand? Did my complexion revert?
With that thought, Concubine Hui immediately got out of bed and walked over to the dressing table. She picked up the mirror and furrowed her brows when she saw her own complexion."Don't tell me that Lord Phoenix reversed the magic on me just now?"
Concubine Hui examined her complexion carefully and rose her brows."This is for the best I guess. This way, I can go after that Lord Phoenix with my own complexion!" She said flatly. A thought crossed Concubine Hui's mind and she flashed a shy smile.
She thought about Han Moze and her smile instantly disappeared and twisted into a sinister grin."For now, I'll let you off for Lord Phoenix's sake."
Three days later, in the Imperial Palace of Beiming...
Han Moze glared intently at Wuxin."Have you guys located the whereabouts of the blonde man yet?"
Wuxin paused for a moment, then gulped."Your Majesty, we haven't yet located the whereabouts of the blonde man, " he reported.
Han Moze took a deep breath to calm himself down the fastest he could. He tried his best to compose himself.
He was really afraid of never be able to find Shuang'er ever again!
Wuxin looked up and saw the grave look on Han Moze's face, then gulped again."I discovered that the demon cats have infiltrated all four states. Those demon cats are waiting for a chance to ignite a war between the four states. Now, they've stationed large armies of soldiers and horses by the borders."
Han Moze's sword-like brows suddenly furrowed fiercely, as he swept a stern look at Wuqing."Hurry and go investigate the demon cats that have infiltrated Beiming. I'm going to annihilate them all at once! Also, send more people to investigate that blonde man's whereabouts!" He said in a deep voice.
Han Moze's eyes quivered."Also, locate the whereabouts of that fake empress! I believe that woman who looked identical to Shuang'er must have some connection with that blonde man!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, " accepted the shadow guards.
