Chapter 229 The Demon Will Crush Your Eyes

Qin Wanyue had already applied a layer of powder to her face, and even her lips were covered up, making them look bloodless.

As soon as Jun Shuyan entered, she stretched out her arms and said in a pitiful voice, "Your Majesty, I feel so unwell, why did it take you so long to come?"

Jun Shuyan sat by the bed and gently comforted her. As Qin Wanyue spoke, the conversation swirled back to ghosts and monsters. "It seems you're bothered by that evil spirit. Your Majesty, would you please keep me company tonight?"

As she spoke, her soft hand had already reached into Jun Shuyan's chest, and a captivating fragrance wafted into his nostrils.

Jun Shuyan couldn't help but nod, and Qin Wanyue smiled smugly and gently hooked her finger around his belt.

The nanny left and closed the door tightly. Inside, there was aphrodisiac incense and the master had taken medicine; it seemed they were going to be up all night.

The next morning, Jun Shuyan woke up with a splitting headache.

He patted his head and looked at Qin Wanyue, who was sleeping soundly beside him with a contented expression.

That's strange. He originally wanted to refuse last night, so why did he end up staying?

Qin Wanyue opened her eyes after he left. Her heart was filled with joy, but when she saw the rattle drum that Jun Shuyan had left behind on the ground, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her.

She got up, picked it up, and fiddled with it in her hand. The gurgling sound made her feel irritated, so she angrily threw the thing in her hand to the ground.

Looking at the debris on the ground made her feel a little better, but she just kept staring at the ground with her eyes slightly narrowed.

This little thing looks like it belongs to a girl. Only that little bastard Shen Sangning in the palace would play with this, right?

What a cunning Jun Shuyan! Doesn't she know what's so great about a little girl?!

Just wait! Once Qin Wanyue becomes pregnant with the prince, she will definitely give Shen Sangning a hard time.

A sudden gust of wind blew in from outside, and the nanny quickly closed the window. Qin Wanyue then turned the Buddhist prayer beads on her wrist.

"Amitabha, Amitabha," she murmured.

Why is the wind so cold? It wasn't like this before it became haunted!

That old monk really didn't take her seriously; he left without even saying goodbye.

Despite the palace's tight security, he and that little monk managed to slip away unnoticed!

As Xiannian walked along, the prayer beads in his hand made a soft sound. Huixin scratched her head and asked, "What's wrong, Master?"

"Why are Grandmaster's prayer beads making a sound?"

Xiannian shook her head. "It seems someone is thinking of us, master and disciple."

Huixin pouted. Who would care about the two of them? Everyone is eager for Master to come down the mountain.

"Master, which way should we go next?" Huixin asked.

I came down the mountain because my master deduced something important to me. He asked, but the old man just wouldn't tell me.

He originally intended to stay on the mountain, but he couldn't resist his curiosity and begged to come along.

They never expected that they would be tied up in a cave before they even figured out the way down the mountain, and after finally getting out, they ended up in the palace.

I thought I'd get to see my master catch evil spirits, but all I got to do was help a pitiful soul find peace.

Xiannian closed his eyes, counted on his fingers, and finally pointed to the southwest.

"Let's go that way; that's where what your master is looking for is."

He stared intently in the southwest direction, having originally come down the mountain only to stop what he had calculated.

But he had just made an even more amazing discovery, and he couldn't wait to see what it was.

The master and disciple walked along, stopping frequently. Wu Yao, who was ahead of them, kept hiding from the people sent by the palace to find her.

In just the last two days, she has already shaken off several groups of people. If it weren't for her ability to save her life, she would have been captured and taken back long ago.

After much difficulty, she finally found a rather inconspicuous inn. She went inside and said in a rough voice, "Give me a superior room, and bring me some hot food."

The shopkeeper looked up and found that the person in front of him was wrapped up tightly, which looked very strange.

He waved his hand apologetically, "I'm sorry, sir, we're fully booked."

"Why don't you go and take a look somewhere else?"

Wu Yao looked up at the building, her eyes narrowing dangerously.

She curled her lips into a smile, her voice already carrying a hint of displeasure, "Shopkeeper, don't try to lie through your teeth, or you might really go blind."

The innkeeper glared angrily and shouted, "What nonsense are you spouting! I said the room is full, and that's it!" He picked up a broom as if to chase the innkeeper away.

What bad luck! Just two days ago, a man dressed all in black got drunk and died in his apartment building!

It almost caused his inn to go bankrupt! He spent a lot of money to suppress the rumors.

Now, he feels a rush of unease whenever he sees someone dressed in black, as if they might bring him and his inn bad luck!

Wu Yao was too lazy to waste words with him. She gently raised her hand and the shopkeeper felt a hand tightly gripping his neck, and his back felt incredibly heavy.

He looked at Wu Yao with a look of horror in his eyes, his mouth agape as he pointed to his neck.

Wu Yao chuckled softly and said leisurely, "Right now, there's an evil spirit on your back, and it's choking you."

She blinked innocently, then took a step back as if startled. "Oh no! This evil spirit said it's going to pop your eyes out! How scary, how scary!"

The shopkeeper was terrified by her horrific and bloody words. Knowing that it was related to the person in front of him, he slowly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Wu Yao was satisfied. As soon as she raised her hand, the feeling of someone grabbing the shopkeeper's neck and pressing against his back disappeared.

This time, he didn't dare say the rooms were full. He wiped the sweat from his face, trembling, and then booked a superior room.

"Sir...how many nights will you be staying?"

His lips and teeth were trembling, and he dared not speak like he used to.

Wu Yao held up one finger, then said in a hoarse voice, "The shopkeeper had better not tell anyone about what happened today, otherwise..."

She drew out a low laugh, "Otherwise, that evil spirit would have ripped your head off."

The shopkeeper was so frightened he almost dropped his abacus. He raised three fingers and swore, "Sir, rest assured! I'd rather die than utter a single extra word!"

Wu Yao took a gold leaf out of her sleeve and placed it on the counter. The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he accepted the gold leaf with a smile, his previous fear vanishing.

"I'll take you upstairs right away! You can stay as long as you like!"

He happily led Wu Yao to the best room, his face beaming as he touched the gold leaf in his sleeve.

We made it all back! The money spent on the death a few days ago has been earned back in one go!

This guy may be scary, but just give him the gold leaf! As long as you don't offend him, your life is safe!

Let's serve him well and see if we can squeeze some more money out of him! That way, he'll sell this unprofitable inn and go home to retire!
