Chapter 1813 Mei Also Arrives
These words almost made Shadow wet himself. "Master, Master, this kind of thing is not allowed... not allowed to joke about!"
Shadow was truly afraid that Ruan Yu would give the order to make him run to the Venerable One and say such things!
He had no doubt that Ruan Yu was capable of doing this!
"By the way, Master, Lord Shadow is not like a nobody like me; he often gets to see His Majesty. Perhaps... you could ask him about His Majesty's identity." Shadow shifted the blame onto Ying in an attempt to divert attention.
How could Ruan Yu not understand Yingzi's thoughts?
Seeing that he sincerely submitted to her, she stopped teasing him: "Step down."
In truth, Ruan Yu already had a guess in her heart, but it was just a guess. To find out for sure whether it was him or not, she would have to go to the Divine Realm to see that so-called Venerable One in person.
The following evening.
The shadow has returned.
He was carrying gifts this time: "I didn't know what you liked, so I bought all sorts of jewelry."
Ying was very generous, showering Ruan Yu with exquisite glass beads, gold and jade hairpins, which dazzled her eyes.
Unfortunately, no matter how beautiful it is, it's still just a vulgar thing.
"I don't like any of them." Ruan Yu's voice was very indifferent.
Ying paused for a moment, then put the gift away without saying anything. "I'm sorry, I should have asked about your preferences beforehand."
"Are you really trying to please me?" Ruan Yu asked with a playful smile.
"Really." Ying felt a little embarrassed by her gaze and stood awkwardly at the door.
"Come in first." Ruan Yu let him pass, and the two sat down at the table.
"Did you see your master's true face when you went back this time?" Ruan Yu went straight to the point without uttering a single unnecessary word.
Ying was surprised by her question, "Why are you asking about this?"
When he first returned, he was severely punished for his poor performance. However, the Emperor forgave him and assigned him several more tasks, which he completed exceptionally well each time.
His status is now more prestigious than before.
“I know that Mei tried to kill you before, which made you wary. But now she is no match for you, and I am by your side, so you will be safe. I know that no one wants to live in fear of being hunted down. I will report to the Lord that you will not hinder his grand plan, and after that, no one will dare to harm you.”
Ying's words were incredibly sincere.
"Who said I wouldn't stand in the way?" Ruan Yu's answer surprised Ying.
He hadn't even mentioned what the Emperor's grand plan was when Ruan Yu said this.
“I have a blood feud with you. You don’t know that yet, do you? The so-called Venerable One you speak of has sent people to kill me several times since that incident with Mei.”
Shadow was busy with his mission, so of course he didn't know: "I...I will protect you."
"Do you think I need your protection?" Ruan Yu retorted to Ying. "Just stay away from me."
She lost interest in the conversation; Ying wouldn't say anything no matter what was asked.
He went back and seemed even more loyal than before.
"Ruan Yu..." Ying's heart ached as if pricked by needles. He tried to explain, but Ruan Yu had already rudely driven him out the door.
"Don't come looking for me anymore. I've said it before, we're not on the same path. Who knows if we'll even turn on each other next time we meet?" Ruan Yu had a premonition that she would soon meet that Venerable One.
At that time, a major battle will be inevitable.
What will Shadow do?
"Master, I can see that Lord Ying has truly fallen for you. Why don't you give him a chance?" The shadow appeared without Ruan Yu's permission.
He stared regretfully in the direction the shadow had left.
"I really want to kill you too, can you give me a chance?" Ruan Yu's dangerous gaze fell on the shadow.
She wasn't joking.
If Shadow can say such things, then she can really kill him.
She never keeps anyone around who would side with her.
The shadow was terrified: "I was wrong, Master! Just pretend I farted! I was talking nonsense!"
"But seriously, Master, even if you don't like Lord Ying, you can still try to win him over! Wouldn't it be better to coax him into joining our camp and working together to deal with the Venerable One?" He wanted to make amends, so he made this suggestion.
Unexpectedly, the temperature inside the room plummeted to freezing.
Shadow knew that Ruan Yu was truly enraged this time, so he said no more and kowtowed dozens of times on the ground.
He dared not stop until Ruan Yu told him to.
In the end, Ruan Yu calmed down and told him to get lost: "If there is a next time, I will not let you off easily!"
"Yes, Master." Shadow dared not offer any more bad advice; he couldn't wait to get as far away from Ruan Yu as possible!
He must have had too much free time. Why didn't he just stay in his virtual space, fishing and growing flowers? Instead, he had to go out and cause trouble, almost losing his life in the process!
The shadow decides that in the future, one should try to minimize one's presence so that one can live a long and healthy life.
the other side.
Ying only left the Gu family, not the Ancient Path Continent.
He bought a courtyard house near the Gu family's residence.
After seeing off the original owner of the house, Ying was about to return to her house to cultivate when she suddenly saw an uninvited guest under the willow tree in front of her.
Ying acted as if she hadn't seen her at all, walked straight into her room, and closed the door.
"Hey, Ying, we've worked together for years, why do you act like I'm a stranger?" Mei walked through the door with an ethereal grace, moving closer to Ying.
Just as he was about to touch the actress's back, he was blasted away by a powerful force.
Mei felt a sharp pain in her chest and said coquettishly, "Ying, you really don't know how to cherish a beautiful woman!"
Seeing that Ying remained unmoved, she continued, "Even if I'm a stranger to you, I'm already in your room. You can't pretend you didn't see me!"
"So, you want me to kill you?" Ying looked at Mei with eyes full of hostility.
Mei felt a chill run down her spine from his gaze.
"Alright, let's get down to business." She abandoned her teasing thoughts about Ying. "His Majesty sent me to assist you."
"As you know, I made a mistake before and almost died. This time, His Majesty has finally given me a chance to make amends, so you must help me."
Ying realized that Mei's task was different from his. It was likely quite difficult and would require his help.
"Why should I help you?" Ying said with a stern face. "Get out of my sight within a moment."
Perhaps it was because his tone was too cold that Mei dared not linger and slipped away before his expression turned angry.
"Damn you, Shadow! So what if you've improved your strength a little? What's there to be so proud of? I can still complete the mission without you!"
Mei clenched the spatial ring on her hand and let out a cold laugh: "As for you, without this magical artifact that the Venerable One asked me to bring you, let's see how you complete the mission!"
"I hope you can stay this stubborn forever!"
