A sweet story about traveling into the world of beasts, killing the heroine and becoming the next in

At this moment on Rui Terrace, Bian Zhao crawled out of the ruins. He watched Xuan Heng slaughter people with cold eyes, but he was thinking about Lan Ning's whereabouts.

An hour had passed and they had searched the entire stone base of the temple but had not found even a corpse. Could it have been blown to ashes?

Bian Zhao's face became paler and paler. Was the child he had waited so long for to be born into the royal family supposed to suffer this disaster? He teleported to the side of the empress, his blue eyes fixed on Furou, "Did you do this?"

Exhausted, Furou smiled at him, "Sir, there must be evidence for everything. I have been under house arrest for two months, how could I have arranged everything so thoroughly?"

"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. Do you really think I can't find out?" Bian Zhao's eyes seemed to want to dig two holes in Furou's body. He was about to tell Furou what was in her mind when he heard a loud noise behind him.

He turned around and saw that the mad Xuan Heng suddenly turned into his original form, with a sharp black light emitting from his body, and his huge snake head drilled straight into the ruins.

I'm afraid he has been stimulated to the point of being stupid!

Bian Zhao didn't have time to take care of this and rushed to the ruins to stop Xuan Heng, but he was a step too late. Xuan Heng had smashed a bottomless pit on the huge Rui Terrace and Xuan Heng had already fallen into it.

In the underground ruins, Lan Ning held the scales tightly with both hands. She put away the candle, cleaned the scene, chose a safe place and waited patiently.

After a while, she felt a loud noise above her head, and then the whole cave was shaking. The falling dust choked Lan Ning and she almost couldn't breathe. She covered her mouth and nose with clothes, and blocked her ears, and finally waited for the vibration to stop.

Xuan Heng found the cave based on the location of the reverse scale. In the endless dust, he did feel a familiar breath. In a corner, he looked up and saw Lan Ning huddled in a corner of the cave. He was dirty all over and looked very pitiful.

"Little darling." Xuan Heng called her.

The trembling kitten hugged its legs and raised its watery eyes, then stared at him in a daze.

It was the first time that Lan Ning saw Xuan Heng's true form. Unlike the black snakes she had in mind, the black of Xuan Heng's scales was colorful, just like the feathers of a crow in the sun, with a mysterious beauty.

The big snake leaned over and rubbed against her, "What's wrong? Are you scared by me?"

When Xuan Heng was raising Lan Ning, he often asked how to raise a kitten. His subordinates said that cats would be afraid of things that were bigger than themselves, so he never showed his true form in front of Lan Ning, for fear of scaring Lan Ning.

"Your Highness?" Lan Ning was indeed frightened, but she was more shocked. It was the first time she had seen such a big snake, and it felt like it could swallow her in one bite.

Xuan Heng instantly turned back into a human. He took Lan Ning into his arms and said thankfully, "Fortunately, you're okay."

When Lan Ning's breath disappeared on the ground, Xuan Heng felt as if a piece of his heart was dug out. The pain made him almost lose his mind and kill everyone present. He searched the ground thoroughly but couldn't find Lan Ning. Then, when his mind was about to collapse, he felt the location of the reverse scale.

Xuan Heng just wanted to find Lan Ning as soon as possible at that time. He didn't care about anything else and rushed down directly in his original form. Fortunately, he found him.

[Xuan Heng's favorability +5, total favorability: 57. ]

Lan Ning smelled the familiar scent, she sniffed, tears falling, "I don't know what dragged me in here, it's darker than a dungeon, I thought I was going to die here."

This sweet voice made Xuan Heng's heart ache. He carefully held Lan Ning's face and wiped away the pitiful tears bit by bit with his thumb.

"No, I'm here." Xuan Heng felt that this was probably arranged by Fu Rou. If he hadn't given Lan Ning the Reverse Scale in advance, he would really have lost Lan Ning this time.

Lan Ning nestled in his arms and nodded, "Well, let's go up quickly, okay? I'm scared."

Xuan Heng: "Okay, wait for me."

He once again instantly transformed into a giant snake, allowing Lan Ning to climb onto his head and return along the same path they came from.

-

"What happened?" The other nobles who were looking for people were also confused. They followed Bian Zhao and stood at the edge of the deep pit.

Bian Zhao listened for a long time but heard nothing. He suddenly remembered, "Xuan Heng's reverse scale is on Lan Ning. He must have sensed something. Could it be that Lan Ning is underground?"

The most nervous person was Fu Rou. She was originally feeling lucky that even if they found out later that these things were arranged by her, she would still have a way to get out of it. But if Lan Ning didn't die, then this time she would have no choice but to protect herself.

Furou carefully observed the situation over there, and the empress saw through her nervousness.

"It was indeed you who arranged it, wasn't it?" the empress asked her in a deep voice.

Furou paused, she looked at the empress and pretended to be ignorant, "What are you talking about? I didn't do these things."

When performing the hair-tiing ceremony just now, the empress saw some scenes. Later, when the assassin tried to kill her, Furou stood in front of her despite being pregnant. She thought those scenes were just a momentary illusion, but now the truth was before her eyes.

Those assassins and those explosives were all arranged by Furou.

The empress was suddenly extremely disappointed with Furou, "Before and now, you really disappoint me."

Furou's face froze. She pulled the empress's sleeve and wanted to explain, but she saw a giant black python emerging from the deep pit, and its pair of golden vertical pupils swept over everyone present.

She's not dead!

Furou had already seen the disheveled woman sitting on the snake's head. She didn't know whether she should cheer or feel sorry. She stared at Lan Ning, thinking that this woman was extremely lucky that so many explosives and assassins didn't kill her.

If we have to wait until the next time to make plans, it will take a long time to plan.

Furou glanced at the mess around her. Now, all the people they arranged to escape had run away, and those who didn't escape had been torn alive by the evil spirit Xuan Heng. There should be no evidence to implicate her.

She followed her husband carefully and left, not forgetting to look back at Lan Ning who was intact beside the deep pit.

Just wait, there will be next time.

At the edge of the deep pit, Lan Ning was hugged by the crying Bian Zhao, "How are you going to live without your father?"

Lan Ning blinked her eyes and whispered to comfort her old father, "It happened so suddenly. I don't know how I ended up in the underworld. Fortunately, I have the things the prince gave me. I am fine now. Don't cry."

She didn't know why this older handsome guy Bian Zhao loved to cry so much. Seeing tears on his face and in his eyes, Lan Ning really couldn't bear it.

Bian Zhao wiped away the tears from his eyes. He carefully checked Lan Ning's body for any injuries, then took Lan Ning's hand and said softly, "Don't worry, Father will investigate this matter thoroughly."

He felt extremely regretful for not being able to punish Furou last time, and this time he would make sure Furou couldn't escape!

"Okay." Lan Ning smiled. She turned around and looked at the temple. It had already become a ruin. How could it still be as glorious and beautiful as it was in the morning?

Following her gaze, everyone recalled the strange scene at the same time. Did it mean that it was Empress Lan Ning who saved the day?

Thinking hard.

Bian Zhao handed his daughter to Xuan Heng and said, "You must take good care of her from now on. Things are going to change in Wanjing."
