The useless second daughter of the Hua family

"Are you really not going to say anything?" Bai Lin reminded Tao Yao. His silence caused misunderstanding among the people around him.

Although Li Luo was a bit tricky, he was not unmanageable. He had successfully survived the catastrophe, which was considered to be recognized by the Heavenly Dao, but he was also subject to the Heavenly Dao's control. If he used his magic power to interfere in the affairs of the human world without authorization, he would also be punished by the Heavenly Dao. He was just relying on the protection of the Son of Heaven.

But Tao Yao was immersed in the past and couldn't extricate himself. He completely put Hua Miaomiao in his shoes. Thinking of the stupid things he had done to help her overcome the tribulation and the hurtful words he had said, he wished he could go back and wake himself up.

Hua Miaomiao saw Tao Yao was in a trance and looked in pain, something was very wrong. She walked over and just as she stretched out her hand, she was hugged by the other party.

"Don't leave me." Tao Yao's voice was trembling, and he seemed to be back to the edge of the cliff where she jumped off that day.

Hua Miaomiao looked at the head buried in her arms and felt amused and a little distressed. Regardless of the embarrassment, she reached out and hugged him back, "Be good, don't be afraid, I'm just joking with my sister, I'm not going anywhere."

Ge Qingcheng looked at the two of them with a little disdain, took Hua Niaoniao and left. Seeing this, Bai Lin followed him out and closed the door for them.

After everyone left, Hua Miaomiao asked, "What happened to you?"

Tao Yao buried herself in his arms, shook her head and said nothing.

Hua Miaomiao was amused by his childish appearance. She patted his back gently and whispered in his ear like coaxing a child: "Okay, at least let me know what's wrong with you."

Tao Yao still refused to look up, and said in a muffled voice: "In my last life, I was such a jerk and made you sad."

Hua Miaomiao sighed helplessly. She had never confused Hua Yao in her previous life with herself, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with Tao Yao in her previous life. All the coincidences came together to create that result, but Tao Yao foolishly blamed everything on herself.

She held up Taoyao's face and made him look at her. "Then you can just be nicer to me in the future."

Taoyao nodded seriously, "I will."

Hua Miaomiao looked at him, feeling warm in her heart. She lowered her head and gently kissed Tao Yao's forehead, "Does this make you feel better?"

Taoyao's face instantly turned red, and her pink eyes were watery and adorable. He stammered, "Much better..."

Hua Miaomiao smiled and took Tao Yao's hand, "Let's go, let's go out and look for them."

The two walked out of the room and found that everyone was sitting together having lunch.

"Hey, you're out? I thought you two were having a good time." Ge Qingcheng couldn't help teasing when he saw his younger brother, not wanting to be scared back by Hua Niaoniao's look.

Tao Yao laughed secretly and led Hua Miaomiao to a seat. "Looking at your mood, have you thought of any solution?"

Ge Qingcheng put away his joke and said seriously: "I just heard Bai Lin say something. Li Luo's current situation is the same as yours. When you are in the human world, you have to abide by the rules of the human world, right?"

"Yes, he used magic to retreat quickly, and I'm afraid he has suffered a backlash."

Hua Miaomiao curled her lips and said, "I thought he was so weak."

"He is a thousand-year-old evil dragon, and now he has transformed into a dragon. We must not underestimate him." Tao Yao said as she peeled shrimp for Hua Miaomiao. The words she said and the movements she made were completely different.

Ge Qingcheng nodded, "Since he is under the control of the Heavenly Dao and dares not use his magic power without permission, we can use mortal means to deal with him."

"But he is the emperor now, and we are ordinary people. How can we fight him?" Hua Miaomiao asked puzzledly.

"Of course not ordinary people," Ge Qingcheng looked at Hua Niaoniao, "In the capital, the only person that the emperor is afraid of is the regent. We need to borrow the power of the regent."

Hua Niaoniao's face changed. She stood up and said to everyone at the table, "I'm sorry, I don't have the ability, and it's even more impossible for me to ask my mother to save him."

"Sister." Hua Miaomiao brought her back to her seat. "Don't worry, brother doesn't mean that. We don't have to ask Auntie to cure the poison. We can go to Wu Sang first. He doesn't know that the high priest is dead yet, so we can keep it from him."

"That's right." Ge Qingcheng quickly replied. Even if he had that idea at the beginning, he didn't dare to mention it now. Hua Niaoniao's attitude was so firm that it seemed that they had to think of another way.

After the meal, Tao Yao went to help Ling Lan with his magic. Hua Miaomiao said that she was too full and wanted to lie down on the bed, so she went back to her room alone.

When Tao Yao returned to the room, there was still half a person in the room.

Tao Yao couldn't help but shake her head. Could this be the inheritance of her Miao family?

Fortunately, Tao Yao was prepared. He chased after him while casting spells.

Hua Miaomiao looked at the high palace walls, wondering whether it would be more reliable to climb over the eaves or to pass through directly. Suddenly, she felt a warmth on her forehead, and the scene in front of her eyes blurred, and she appeared in front of Tao Yao.

"So awesome, how did you do it?" Hua Miaomiao looked at the other person with admiration, hoping that he had forgotten that she had run away.

Tao Yao knew what she was thinking, so he didn't argue with her. He just said, "I can use the Heart Bond to bring you back to my side."

"Can I do it too?" Hua Miaomiao asked excitedly.

Tao Yao thought for a moment before saying, "When your cultivation level is higher than mine, you can do it."

Hua Miaomiao pouted and tactfully stopped asking.

Tao Yao suddenly transformed back into the state teacher. "Aren't we going to the palace? Let's go."

As soon as the two walked outside the palace wall, they saw the group of monks coming out of the palace gate.

When everyone saw the national teacher, they all bowed.

"Are you ready to go back?" Hua Miaomiao asked.

Hua Miaomiao was previously brought into the emperor's bedroom by Ling Lan, and now she was staying with the imperial master. Everyone didn't know her identity, but they all guessed that she must be rich or noble, so they didn't dare to neglect her. So a cultivator replied respectfully: "His Majesty ordered us to leave the palace to find a way to prolong life and seek immortality."

Hua Miaomiao looked at Tao Yao in confusion. Does that mean Li Luo still needs to prolong his life?

Tao Yao did not reply to her, but said to the monks: "Then I won't delay you all, take care on your journey."

"Thank you, Master Imperial Master."

After leading them far away, Tao Yao whispered to Hua Miaomiao: "Li Luo will naturally not be able to use it. I'm afraid it's prepared for your sister."

Hua Miaomiao was very disdainful, "Hmph, it's not his turn to care about my sister." Besides, with all those evil ways of his, she was afraid that her sister would be harmed by him.

Tao Yao brought Hua Miaomiao directly into the palace. The emperor had previously issued an edict that the imperial teacher could come and go freely in the palace.

The palace was the same as usual, with no additional patrols and no formations or barriers set up. The two walked along without encountering any obstructions.

Hua Miaomiao asked in confusion: "Why is he not on guard at all?"

"Maybe he was sure we couldn't find him."

The two of them came to the door of the emperor's bedroom. The guards at the door seemed to know that they were coming and did not stop them. Inside the bedroom, Li Luo was standing with his hands behind his back, his back to the door.

"You're here." Li Luo said without turning his head, as if he had eyes on his back.

Tao Yao pulled Hua Miaomiao into the bedroom. Li Luo slowly turned around and looked at them, "Did you find the person?"

Hua Miaomiao felt annoyed when she saw his smug look, so she turned her head away and left it to Tao Yao to handle.

"You are so calm and composed, you will definitely not let us find your tracks easily, right?" Tao Yao stared at the person in front of him, trying to find a clue from his calm face.

However, Li Luo just smiled and said, "Why bother to test me? I might as well tell you the truth. I have already swallowed her."

"You ate her?" Hua Miaomiao exclaimed.

Li Luo frowned, not very happy with her noisy temper, but still said to them: "Before I digest her, send Hua Niaoniao to the palace. It will be too late if you're late." After saying that, he patted his belly as if in protest.

Tao Yao was furious and had the intention to kill. This evildoer was really annoying.

Li Luo said nonchalantly: "Taoyao, you have to think it through. You don't care about the backlash of heaven, but do you care about the clans of Ge and Hua? Regicide means the extermination of nine clans. You can save yourself, but can you stop the world from talking nonsense?"
