The city lord was chatting animatedly with a few people. When he noticed that the two people at Ruan Xiaojiu's table had left, he immediately felt a little regretful. He hadn't even formally introduced them to his partners yet, so why did they leave?

Because Di Jingchen didn't like sitting with others, he and Ruan Xiaojiu sat at the same table alone.

The two of them had such an imposing aura that ordinary people didn't dare to approach or talk to them.

The entire banquet hall was bustling with activity, except for Ruan Xiaojiu's place, which was very quiet.

At first, the city lord didn't rush to get close to the two of them, thinking that he would let them adjust to the situation first. But now, the two of them had left without him noticing.

When the city lord saw the first seat above him, several friends nearby also looked there. It was empty. The person who was sitting there had disappeared long ago. There was not a single person at the dinner table.

After realizing that the people there had quietly left, I felt surprised and a little dissatisfied.

"Two yellow-headed brats, how dare you be so rampant here? You don't take me, the city lord, seriously."

Yes, in front of these people, they thought that Ruan Xiaojiu was just a teenage girl and Di Jingchen was a young man in his twenties, so they did not have as much experience as them.

"What are you showing off for? You really don't know your place."

An old man named Zhang said dissatisfiedly.

"That's right, Your Majesty, you have no manners at all. You left without even saying hello. Why are you showing off here?"

Several people were talking at once about Ruan Xiaojiu and the other person.

At first, the city lord did not stop him. He also thought that Ruan Xiaojiu was indeed impolite and did not take him seriously. But thinking of Ruan Xiaojiu's fighting ability and her status, he still spoke out to stop her.

"Alright, everyone, stop talking. No matter how old Ruan Xiaojiu is, he is still a prince after all. It's understandable that he can be a little arrogant and wild. Let them be."

"Everyone, please sit down. Now that they've left, we rarely have the chance to relax like this these days. Let's not let such a small thing ruin our fun."

Seeing that the city lord said this, the few people stopped hesitating and sat back in their seats to continue their discussion.

Ruan Xiaojiu left the banquet and walked alone on the street. The street was pitch black, with only a faint light occasionally shining on the roadside.

She looked up at the sky, a starry sky. In two days, it would be the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Thinking of the fifteenth day brought back memories of the ghost world behind the black gate, the Ghost King, and the Hades in the coffin. She shook her head. "Alas! It's such a mess!" She tried to stop thinking about the ghost world's nonsense and continued her stroll.

Sudden.

She frowned, feeling the mark she had placed on Ye Tingshen's body begin to stir, and narrowed her eyes. This was a premonition that Ye Tingshen was about to have a deeper contact with another woman.

She thought this mark would not be triggered, but now it felt triggered. Ruan Xiaojiu was a little annoyed. Ye Tingshen dared to let others touch him. I think he is tired of living.

Ruan Xiaojiu stood in place, looking through the void in the direction where his mark was. There was the Zidan Kingdom.

She had left her own mark in his body to prevent him from having physical contact with other women. If he insisted on having something happen with another woman, the restriction of the mark would be triggered, and not only would the woman be attacked, but Ye Tingshen himself would also receive the punishment he deserved. However, if the two of them did not reach the final step, the mark would never be triggered. Was he unable to bear the loneliness?

When she warned Ye Tingshen to stay away from women, she was not lying but sincere. If he didn't listen to her, he would be in great trouble.

At the same time, Zidan Country:

Ye Tingshen was rescued from the water dungeon by a woman, who was none other than the prime minister's second daughter, Bai Dandan. She found that her sister Bai Shuangshuang had been acting mysteriously in recent months, going in and out of the same place. She carefully followed her sister for several months before she discovered that her sister had an underground water dungeon in a farm under her name. When she followed her for the first time, she was almost scared to death. The dungeon was full of water snakes of different sizes and colors, but when she saw that the person locked inside was Ye Tingshen, she was excited, and her heartbeat accelerated like never before. While Bai Shuangshuang was away, she rescued the person. Strangely enough, the snakes attacked the people she brought, but did not attack her, so she was able to rescue the person successfully.

Although the losses were heavy, the outcome was good.

She liked Ye Tingshen, she liked him very much, but she never had the chance to get close to him. Five years ago, he was left behind in the then Qingfeng.

She never thought that she would see him again one day.

After Ye Tingshen was rescued, he was very weak and needed rest. Bai Dandan was afraid that Bai Shuangshuang would find out, so she kept him in the secret room of her boudoir. She did not imprison him, but just waited for him to recover so that he could marry her openly.

When Ye Tingshen learned that it was Bai Dandan, not Ruan Xiaojiu, who saved him, he didn't know what to feel. He was imprisoned and tortured by Bai Shuangshuang, but was saved by her sister. He was grateful to Bai Dandan but also hated her, so for a while he did not agree to Bai Dandan's request, but just said he would think about it.

His health has gradually improved. He is very grateful to Bai Dandan and has recently contacted his secret guards, who are almost crying with joy.

Ye Tingshen was ready to leave and waited in the secret room for Bai Dandan to say goodbye to her.

Unexpectedly, no one knew who gave Bai Dandan the idea, or whether she came up with it herself, but she drugged him and wanted to make the rice become cooked rice.

This is terrible...
