The hero is killed and awakened at the beginning. He is fierce and clingy.

Qi Yue was terrified as he listened to this. He had just learned all this and just hearing about it was terrifying.

However, he had been the city lord for so many years, and his thoughts immediately came to light.

"Do we need to capture Ruan Ling immediately?"

Qi Yue clenched his fists. He didn't expect that they grew up together, but she was always plotting against the demon clan.

What good does this do for her?

Yun Niang kicked Qi Yue out of the blue. For some reason, although she was still a little weak, her voice was still full of energy when she scolded Qi Yue.

Is this probably the result of suppression from childhood?

"Let's not talk about the mysterious person behind her. Now you are a wanted criminal in the entire Immaculate City. Walking out like this, do you think it's more likely that she will catch you, or that you will catch her?"

This question stumped Qi Yue.

Qi Yue hung his head, and suddenly became a big aggrieved dog in front of Yun Niang. "But now she is the only medium we know about. If we don't take action now, what if she runs away?"

"She can't run yet."

Yun Niang covered her chest and coughed a few more times. "She didn't get what she wanted from me, so she will definitely try every means to catch me back, so we just need to wait for her to come to us on her own."

"Drink some water first."

Looking at Yun Niang's pale face, Qi Yue couldn't stop feeling heartache in his eyes. He hurriedly patted Yun Niang on the back, his movements looking a little strange and awkward.

"You don't need to worry about these things. We will take care of them. You just need to rest and recover."

Qi Yue spoke so firmly for once. Yun Niang stared at him for a while, drank a sip of water silently, and said nothing.

Never mind, we have to give him some face.

Yun Yao curled the corners of her lips slightly. In front of Yun Niang, Qi Yue really was not scheming at all.

"Have a drink."

Shen Yanqing handed over the cup of water, and seeing the smile on Yun Yao's lips, he couldn't help laughing.

Who would have thought that when Yun Yao turned to look at Shen Yanqing, her smile had disappeared without a trace.

"Do you need me to find a place for Shen Jianjun to live?"

Shen Yanqing raised his eyebrows, and slowly sorted out his clothes. There was a hint of smile in his cold voice: "Thank you."

Yun Yao: “…”

I was just being polite in the first place, but he actually took it a step further and started breathing heavily.

Seeing Yun Yao's somewhat embarrassed expression, Yun Niang quickly said, "My place is quite big, Shen Jianjun can find a room to live in. After all, I will need Shen Jianjun's help in the future."

"Then I want to live here too."

Qi Yue hurriedly stuck to her, "You said I was a wanted criminal, and my huge City Lord Mansion was occupied by them. Now I can only live with you."

Yunniang rolled her eyes. "You said that as if you would leave if I told you to."

"That's not necessarily true. After all, I listen to you a lot."

"Go away, go away."

Yunniang expressed disgust, but her smiling face could not deceive anyone.

She is really happy now.

Yunniang was happy, and Yunyao, as her friend, was naturally happy too.

She is no longer a girl who knows nothing, and she should not sit here at this moment.

"I'm going to walk around the yard."

Yun Yao stood up, leaving Yun Niang and Qi Yue some space to be alone together.

Yun Yao knew Qi Yue from the very beginning when they got to know each other. He might not be a very thoughtful person, nor did he have any desire to become very strong, but he really had a good heart towards Yun Niang.

Yun Yao hopes that Yun Niang can get the happiness that belongs to her.

"You can see through other people's affairs."

Shen Yanqing followed and walked side by side with Yun Yao, at a distance that was neither too far nor too close so as not to make people feel disgusted.

On the contrary, it was the pine-like fragrance on Shen Yanqing's body that made Yun Yao feel very comfortable.

“I also have a clear view of my own affairs.”

For example, she can treat Shen Yanqing as a friend, ally, and confidant.

But we can never be lovers again.

Shen Yanqing was stunned for a moment, the smile in his eyes faded, and there was more pity and grievance.

"It's better to live more transparently, at least it will be much easier."

There is no need to chase after him forever and live without self like before.

The current Yun Yao is the one Shen Yanqing is most happy to see.

“So, I hope you can live more clearly.”

Yun Yao is now very open-minded and will not deliberately stay away from Shen Yanqing.

"Some responsibilities do not need to be borne by you alone, and the entire human race cannot be protected by you alone."

"Let go of yourself and fulfill yourself."

Yun Yao didn't know whether she was talking to her past self or to him, "We will always be independent individuals. I hope we will never be bound by anything and can always control our own lives passionately and freely."

Shen Yan cleared his throat and moved, and after a long while he managed to utter a word: "Okay."

"Go and have a rest. Tomorrow you may have to deal with many people and many things."

Yun Yao turned around, turned her back to Shen Yanqing, and walked towards her own yard.

Shen Yanqing stood there and watched for a long time, until Yun Yao's determined back disappeared from his sight. Then he looked up at the night sky tonight, tilted his head back, and finally calmed down his wet eyes.

The moonlight was shrouded in the sky and fell on him, revealing an inexplicable sense of loneliness.

Why is it that every time, she is the one who persuades herself to live for herself?

Shen Yanqing closed his eyes, slowly reached out his hand, and wiped away the moisture at the corners of his eyes.

The next day

As expected, Ruan Ling came to the door on her own initiative.

"They don't have much time left. They will definitely get restless."

Yun Yao smiled, waved, opened the door and welcomed the guest.

Ruan Ling, you didn’t come here alone.

Yun Yao looked at the person behind her. He was dressed in black from head to toe. The long black hat brim covered his entire face, leaving only his angular chin exposed.

Yun Yao silently withdrew her gaze and saw a man who looked very young.

But the aura he exudes is inconsistent with his apparent age.

"sit."

Yun Yao made the tea and handed over the cup.

Ruan Ling pushed the teacup away and said, "Let's not beat around the bush. What does His Highness Yun Yao want in exchange for handing over Yun Niang?"

"Maybe the tea is cold and the city lord doesn't like it?"

Ruan Ling almost slammed the table, "Your Highness Yun Yao, there is no need to talk about irrelevant things here. You are a smart person, don't make such a stupid mistake, and don't make a stupid choice."

"What is a stupid mistake? And what is a stupid choice?"

Yun Yao took a sip of tea and said, "Yun Niang is my best friend. I finally rescued her from your dark dungeon. If I hand her over to you, won't that mean I'm sending her to her death?"

"Yun Niang and I grew up together. I just wanted her to help me. How could I want to take her life?"

"Help?" Yun Yao sneered, "Who would ask for help in this manner?"
