"Miss, please eat something! Your body is very weak, and the doctor said you need to take good care of yourself!" Kisaragi looked at Gu Yuniang, who lay motionless on the bed, her brow furrowed as she spoke helplessly.
"Unless you agree to my conditions, I won't eat!" Gu Yuniang replied coldly, giving her a sharp glance.
Seeing her stubbornness, Kisaragi had no choice but to consult the Lord!
As she watched Kisaragi leave, a chilling smile crept onto Gu Yuniang's lips. Since that person had imprisoned her here, they wouldn't let her die! She wanted to see just who this mysterious Lord was!
Thinking back to that night’s torment, she wished she could slice that man into a thousand pieces!
Kisaragi soon returned, and her smile appeared glaringly bright in Gu Yuniang's eyes. "The Lord said he won't agree to your two requests! Moreover, you must eat something!"
Gu Yuniang raised an eyebrow; what a domineering person! Why should she comply?
Seeing her unyielding demeanor, Kisaragi took out an object and held it in front of Gu Yuniang. "The Lord said that once you see this, you will obediently listen!"
Her coaxing manner reminded Gu Yuniang of the wicked Queen from Snow White. Hypocritical! She looked suspiciously at the object in Kisaragi's hand, her face turning pale.
That was... Yun Shuyan's jade pendant! It bore a large character for "Yun," the surname of the royal family of the Great Zhou!
A chill ran through her entire body. Who exactly was that person? How could they have such power to capture Yun Shuyan? Wasn't the last hope of the Great Zhou now shattered?
"No, I can't fall!" Gu Yuniang's lost sanity gradually awakened. She calmed her mind and looked into Kisaragi's eyes, which now showed no trace of turmoil. "Go tell your Lord that I will eat!"
Kisaragi gazed deeply at her, a hint of admiration in her eyes. She nodded and then left.
She turned left upon exiting, passing through a bamboo grove, and finally stopped in front of a small wooden house. Peach blossoms filled the area in front of the house, but it was winter now, and everything looked desolate and bleak.
A tall man stood still amidst this scenery. As the wind blew, his dark robe fluttered, and his lonely silhouette evoked a sense of heartache.
Noticing the movement, he slowly turned around. His handsome face resembled that of a deity, seemingly frozen in a thousand years of cold ice, expressionless and chilling to behold. He glanced at Kisaragi with indifference and spoke softly, "Has she agreed to eat?"
"She has!" Kisaragi replied respectfully and truthfully.
A faint cold smile curled at the corners of his lips. Yun Shuyan was indeed that important to her! Conditions? She would never have the right to negotiate with him!
Wanting to leave me? Impossible!
As the wind rose, his ink-black hair danced in the breeze, his eyes radiating an eerie light, while his face remained eerily calm.
Kisaragi silently withdrew. She vaguely felt that ever since that girl appeared, the Lord had begun to change! He had become even more terrifying than before!
If the previous Lord was cold and ruthless, then the current Lord was like a demon possessed, unpredictable and feared by both gods and men!
