Chapter 1628: Chapter 1256: Waking Up in the Evildoer’s Embrace!

As He Miao spoke, cold sweat dripped down from her forehead!

Heaven knows how nerve-wracking it is to serve such a moody master!

He Miao was genuinely worried that under the command of Fufeng Tianlan, the Goddess Palace would one day become a notorious sinner throughout the Ancient Country!

"Let her find it? If I let her find it, will she actually do it? That bitch, if she were so obedient, she would have died long ago!" Fufeng Tianlan said coldly upon hearing He Miao’s words.

He Miao wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with her hand and cautiously said, "Miss, she will naturally go and find it! The news I received is that something seems to have changed in Linyuan City, and Gu Changsheng’s father, Gu Taitian, is dead! So, miss, who do you think would be the most eager to obtain the Secret Realm Key of the Divine Demise Land?"

Upon hearing this, Fufeng Tianlan’s exposed eyes immediately flashed with light, and she exclaimed with delight, "Gu Taitian is dead? How could Gu Taitian die?"

"I don’t know the specifics; this matter occurred rather mysteriously. No one in Linyuan City has any recollection, but when the news spread, Gu Taitian was already dead. We have to wait for the Hall Master to arrive in the Royal City to know the exact details!" He Miao thought for a moment and answered truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Fufeng Tianlan frowned, and spoke thoughtfully, "No one in Linyuan City remembers? Could it be Imperial Brother? In this world, besides Imperial Brother, who else has such unfathomable abilities? Haha..."

As she spoke, Fufeng Tianlan suddenly laughed, her hands stretching out sinisterly, "It must be Imperial Brother! No one else possesses such capability! To kill Gu Taitian! Imperial Brother actually killed Gu Taitian! And he was someone close to that bitch Gu Changsheng! Haha...Imperial Brother truly deserves to be our King of the Ancient Country! This act truly gratified me! I can’t wait to see what Gu Changsheng’s reaction will be when she discovers Imperial Brother’s identity and that Gu Taitian died at his hands!"

He Miao stood by, hearing Fufeng Tianlan’s words, her delicate brows furrowing as she spoke solemnly, "This matter may not have been done by the Hall Master, the Hall Master..."

"If I say it is, then it is!" But before He Miao could finish speaking, Fufeng Tianlan interrupted in a sinister tone, looking at He Miao as if she meant to tear her apart.

Seeing this, He Miao trembled and immediately bowed her head respectfully, saying, "Yes!"

But in her heart, she kept shaking her head—dealing with such a presumptuous master was truly worrisome!

But, after all, she was the only remaining female descendant of the Ancient Country Royal Family!

After all, she was the sole heiress of the Goddess Palace...

With such a royal family and such a willful heir, He Miao truly didn’t know whether to rejoice or to worry...

"Let’s set this aside; the critical thing right now is how to make that bitch Gu Changsheng search for the Secret Realm Key. Even though I disdain using her hand, if the Secret Realm Key isn’t found, Imperial Brother’s plans will be for nothing! The Northern Mongolians, those useless fools, can’t even guard the Secret Realm Key properly, disgracing them as our Ancient Country’s former servant descendants! They are all useless! Useless!" Fufeng Tianlan spoke with a face full of rage once more.

He Miao, seeing that Fufeng Tianlan had finally listened to her words, felt the tension in her heart ease as her charming face gradually relaxed. She exhaled long, carefully speaking to Fufeng Tianlan, "Miss, it’s quite simple; we just need to find a way to let Gu Changsheng know the truth! She is more eager than we are to open the Divine Demise Land and find the Tears of the Goddess to resurrect her parents!"

Upon hearing this, Fufeng Tianlan’s eyes narrowed immediately, a thoughtful glint flashing within them. A crooked smile appeared beneath her veil as she looked at He Miao and said, "This time, you’ve given me a good suggestion! Let that bitch seek the trail of the Secret Realm Key for me! I will let her know what I am searching for and see if she decides to look for it! Haha..."

With that, Fufeng Tianlan began to laugh to herself.

He Miao quickly bowed her head and complimented, "Miss is wise, indeed. Forcing Gu Changsheng into a corner is precisely our purpose!"

"Haha..."

Hearing this, Fufeng Tianlan laughed even more heartily.

...

Of the affairs in the North Mongolia Royal City, Gu Changsheng knew nothing. Not stopping her journey until she reached the path outside Yanmen Pass, and awakening in the arms of her evildoer, she noticed the absence of panic around her, proving that during her spirit’s separation, her evildoer had blocked everyone’s insight, including her family!

"What’s wrong? What trouble has Xiao Gu Ze encountered?"

Seeing the woman in his arms slowly awakening, Zhou Mu finally sighed in relief. His face, that of a Divine Residence, was full of worry. He scrutinized the woman in his embrace top to bottom, and confirming her soul’s detachment from her body didn’t cause significant harm, he urgently asked.

Gu Changsheng had just awakened to hear her evildoer’s question!

She couldn’t help but roll her eyes at her evildoer!

Seriously, can’t he focus on me? Show me some more care? It’s dangerous when my soul detaches from my body! Why bother only caring about our little one?

Of course, being jealous of her own son wasn’t the point—the point was Gu Changsheng didn’t know how to respond to her evildoer’s inquiry!

This was awkward! 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

A bright spirit indeed!

How should she answer? It’s not like she could tell her evildoer that she once, whimsically, told their son a story about a cucumber and a chrysanthemum, and that their son actually encountered a real cucumber and chrysanthemum in reality, and went on showing off his supposed erudition, right?

Truth be told, Gu Changsheng figured her evildoer would be very upset to see their little one with such ’vast knowledge’!

Moreover, he’d be quite displeased to know it was taught by her, his mother!

Poor thing, Gu Changsheng felt somewhat wronged!

Gu Changsheng raised her hand to rub her forehead, feeling utterly embarrassed under the gaze of her evildoer!

How could she not be embarrassed?

The man before her has shared life and death with her. He knows all too well how terrible she is, perhaps even better than she does!

But as a woman, even one as straightforward as Gu Changsheng, she believes there’s still a little bit of feminine consciousness left in her...

For example, in front of the man she admires, she must try to look a little bit beautiful...

She’s already quite whimsical, she can’t be even more whimsical in front of her evildoer!

Her beautiful image!

If her evildoer discovered she taught Xiao Gu Ze such improper things, what would he think?

Honestly, her evildoer wouldn’t need to think much; just asking once, "How did you know about the cucumber and chrysanthemum story?" would stump Gu Changsheng...

Gu Changsheng doesn’t want her evildoer to know how filthy and whimsical she really is...

Even though, in her evildoer’s heart, she’s already considered filthy and whimsical...

But maintaining just a bit of image is better than none at all, right?

There’s no worst, only worser!

Gu Changsheng decided she adamantly wouldn’t become that worst person, especially in her evildoer’s eyes!

"Um... well..." under her evildoer’s doubtful and worried gaze, Gu Changsheng looked at his divine-like face and deep eyes, her nose twitched, touching her nose, and she racked her brain to organize her words...

The result...

Gu Changsheng sadly discovered...

No matter how well she organizes her words, she can only conceal it for a moment, not for long...

Because her evildoer’s spirit body is still with Xiao Gu Ze!

Once that spirit body returns to her evildoer’s body, how could anything be unknown to him?

Master!

This is completely beyond decoration and concealment!

Because the truth is just right in front of her evildoer’s eyes!

Imagining this is so beautiful, but reality is so cruel, cruel enough to make one despair!

"Well... when your spirit body returns, you’ll know. I have things to do now, I need to find Borjigin Nian!" Lying and covering up is not Gu Changsheng’s style; since her evildoer will know sooner or later, it’s better later than earlier. She definitely wouldn’t tell her evildoer what she saw!

At least, not from her own mouth!

It would severely damage her image in her evildoer’s heart...

Although...

It seems...

She doesn’t really have an image in her evildoer’s heart to begin with...

It’s completely like seeing Xi Shi with love-blindness...

Gu Changsheng admits she’s just the one her evildoer took a fancy to, and her evildoer is quite stubborn, not much different from her, with somewhat poor eyesight, choosing her, pretty much like a blind choice...

Just as long as they enjoy it, why should anyone else care, right?

With this thought, speaking while doing, Gu Changsheng scrambled out from her evildoer’s arms hurriedly...

By now, it was near evening, the emissary procession from Northern Mongolia, along with Gu Changsheng’s Dark Night Army, and the trailing Hidden World Clan had traveled all afternoon and were now resting...

Zhou Mu looked at his empty embrace, his deep dark eyes squinting slightly, watching his little woman’s almost panicked back as she fled the carriage, and his divine-like face hinted at thoughtful contemplation...

Stretching out his long legs, he stood up and bent over to walk out of the carriage...
