Hua Miaomiao felt helpless about being abducted. She and Tao Yao underestimated the enemy and never expected Li Luo to be so cunning. He pretended to leave but actually made a beautiful comeback.

Looking at Li Luo who was drinking alone in front of her with a drunken face, Hua Miaomiao thought to herself: It's clearly the same face, how come the core has changed and even the charm is different?

"You kidnapped me like this, aren't you afraid that the Regent will come after you?" Hua Miaomiao asked tentatively.

Li Luo didn't care about it at all, just smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, let him be! Do you think I really care about this throne? Without her, what use is this throne to me?"

Hua Miaomiao couldn't help but gasp, thinking: This one and the other two are like this, is the throne so worthless?

"Do you like Hua Yao so much? Just because she once saved your life?" Hua Miaomiao continued to ask.

"Isn't this enough? Isn't there a saying that goes 'I can't repay the favor of saving my life with anything except my body'?" Li Luo murmured to himself, his eyes revealing endless attachment.

Hua Miaomiao couldn't help but complain: "Are you sure you're not repaying kindness with evil? She has saved so many people and things in her life. Maybe in her eyes, you are no different from a bug on a spider web."

Somehow these words touched Li Luo. He moved closer and stared at Hua Miaomiao's face.

Hua Miaomiao looked at his eyes that were as dark as deep pools, and felt like a prey being stared at by an eagle. She was so scared that she dared not breathe.

After a moment, Li Luo seemed to come to his senses. He shook his head in self-mockery and took a few steps back.

"Don't say that, or I'll crush you to death."

Hua Miaomiao was speechless. What on earth was this? What on earth had she said? Forget it. Why would she bother with a lunatic?

"Why are you silent again? Are you secretly cursing me in your heart?" Li Luo suddenly asked.

"I'm afraid of being strangled to death by you." Hua Miaomiao replied indifferently.

Li Luo chuckled, stepped closer again, and said, "Your temper is quite interesting."

"Really? I think your personality is quite annoying." Hua Miaomiao retorted without showing any weakness.

Li Luo didn't care about her rude offense. He just picked up the wine pot leisurely, deliberately sat next to Hua Miaomiao, lowered his voice and asked mysteriously: "Do you want to hear the story between Hua Yao and me?"

"Thank you for your kindness, but I really don't have such an idea!" Hua Miaomiao refused without even thinking about it. She didn't want to know what stupid things she had done in her previous life to attract such a difficult guy.

"No, you must listen." Li Luo insisted.

"......" Hua Miaomiao sighed helplessly, thinking that this guy might be drunk. So she could only perfunctorily answer: "Okay, go ahead."

Hua Miaomiao adjusted her body position to lie in a more comfortable and relaxed posture. She was ready to listen to gossip about her past life. Unexpectedly, Li Luo suddenly smiled, put his face close to her ear and whispered, "Sorry, I changed my mind and don't want to tell you now."

"I..." Hua Miaomiao finally couldn't stand it anymore, raised her hand and slapped Li Luo's head fiercely. After this palm fell, both of them were stunned.

Hua Miaomiao was shocked by her own boldness and impulsiveness, while Li Luo was also confused and dazed at the moment. The scene in front of him seemed familiar. Not long ago, Hua Yao had also slapped his head with this angry expression.

Li Luo was annoyed. He rubbed his swollen temples and smiled at himself. He must have drunk too much tonight. He actually mistook the person in front of him for Hua Yao twice in a row.

He staggered to his feet, his steps were a little unsteady, and muttered, "It's getting late, I'm going back, you just stay here and don't even think about running away." After that, he patted his stomach demonstratively.

"I know!" Hua Miaomiao responded unhappily. However, seeing Li Luo staggering and looking like he might fall at any time, she couldn't help but ask, "Hey, can you really walk back like this?"

Li Luo held onto the door frame and stepped out of the door with great effort, then turned around and said bluntly: "Don't think you can please me this way. Let me tell you, it's impossible for me to like you!"

"Please! Will you die if you're not so narcissistic? I'm just worried that you'd fall and hit Yizhu." Hua Miaomiao was so angry that she got a headache and retorted unhappily.

Li Luo sneered, his face full of disdain.

Seeing this, Hua Miaomiao held her forehead helplessly. Her patience depended on the person. Since the other party was so ungrateful, she didn't need to waste her breath any more. So, in front of Li Luo, Hua Miaomiao slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

Li Luo steadied himself and staggered away.

Hua Miaomiao lay on her back on the bed, finally heaving a sigh of relief. She thought Li Luo was a good person, at least he didn't mistreat her as a hostage.

Hua Miaomiao took off the jade pendant from her waist. She stroked it with her fingers and silently chanted Tao Yao's name. Tao Yao had found Hua Niaoniao's sound transmission bell interesting before, so she specially went to find a pair of jade pendants for her. Every night before going to bed, they chatted for a long time. I really hope that Tao Yao can be as in tune with me today as usual!

"Miaomiao, are you okay?" Sure enough, Taoyao's concerned voice came from the pendant.

Hua Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied, "Don't worry, I'm fine. He didn't make things difficult for me."

Tao Yao seemed to be silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Do you need me to pick you up now?"

Hua Miaomiao was startled and asked in surprise: "Did you know that I was taken away by him on purpose?"

"With your current level of cultivation, it would be almost impossible for him to take you away so easily unless you were willing."

"Are you angry?" Hua Miaomiao's voice lowered, with a hint of guilt and uneasiness.

"No, I believe you must have your reasons for doing this." Tao Yao's tone was still calm and gentle.

"Taoyao, I actually want to take this opportunity to explore whether there is a way to save Yizhu. And..."

"Moreover, you feel sympathy for the Regent, but you also feel sorry for your aunt and sister." Tao Yao said.

"You really understand me so well." Hua Miaomiao sighed with a wry smile.

"No matter what you decide to do, I support you. Protect yourself, okay?" Tao Yao gently advised.

"Okay, I will."

On the other side, Li Luo returned to his bedroom. He waved away the servants who were attending him and sat alone in this huge and dark hall.

He raised his hand and gently and carefully touched the area around his heart, where a jade button was hidden. To Li Luo, this jade button was like a rare treasure. Even after reincarnation, he still kept it deep in his soul and integrated it into his bones and blood.

Suddenly, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Li Luo's pupils. He stretched out his right hand, and his originally slender and white five fingers instantly turned into sharp claws. With a burst of excruciating pain, Li Luo forcibly dug out the blood-stained jade button!

He stared at it infatuatedly, with endless attachment revealed in the depths of his eyes.

"Why don't you always choose me..." Li Luo murmured softly, hot tears sliding uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes and flowing down his pale and haggard cheeks.

In the darkness, a familiar figure gradually emerged before his eyes. With a faint scent of ink and a gentle smile on his lips, he slowly reached out his hand towards Li Luo.

"Sir..." Li Luo muttered to himself, stretching out his shaking hand. However, when he really stretched out his hand, he realized that everything was just an illusion.

Li Luo finally dropped his hands helplessly, with a bitter smile on his face that was uglier than crying: "It turns out that it was just an illusion after all."

A breeze blew by, ruffling Li Luo's hair and waking him from his decadence.

The corners of his mouth slightly lifted up, outlining a strange smile. His eyes became sharp and fiery, full of paranoia and madness towards someone.

Li Luo slowly lowered his head and stared at the jade button in his hand again.

"Sir, this time we will definitely have a different ending." Li Luo whispered softly, his voice full of determination. He clenched his fist tightly and squeezed it hard. The jade button instantly turned into powder and flew away like dust in the wind.
