Su Yue saw that he just raised his hand and didn't move, and his expression was even stiffer.

"I think this one is good. It looks a lot like Che."

He stuffed the evil ghost mask into his hand without saying a word and put on the mask of the King of Hell himself, but the man opposite him did not move for a long time.

"dislike?"

"This is an evil ghost." Xiao Heng was silent for a moment and then looked at her, "Zhao Zhao thinks I'm an evil ghost?"

Su Yuejian curved her eyes, took the mask, and pulled his sleeve to signal him to bend down. Xiao Heng did not move. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly bent down.

"It's not an evil ghost, it's a Nuo god." She stood on tiptoe, put her arms around him and put the mask on him, her soft voice sounded in his ears.

"Cai Luan told me that gods protect all things, but they cannot remain in the human world for long. That's why the evil ghost Nuo mask was created. Nuo is the abode of gods. When people wear it, they become gods with a ferocious and evil look, and all ghosts avoid them."

Su Yuejian adjusted the mask on his face and gave him a faint smile.

"Ache is like this. When he puts on the mask, he is a god. When he takes off the mask, he is a human."

The clear amber eyes looked over, and in them seemed to be the dazzling lake water under the warm sun, which gradually surrounded and warmed the cold heart in this autumn night.

Xiao Heng looked at her for a long time before he said "hmm" softly and pointed at her mask. "Is it yours too?"

Su Yuejian stretched out her white and tender fingers and shook them at him twice, "Of course not, I am the King of Hell, isn't it obvious?"

"They are terrified at the mere mention of you. You hold the power of life and death, and even the villains retreat. How majestic!" Su Yuejian gestured imposingly and raised her eyebrows at Xiao Heng with a smile.

Xiao Heng was silent for a while, looking at her intently.

Being stared at like this, Su Yuejian pinched her dress awkwardly, then quickly smiled and said, "It's okay if Che doesn't like it. I don't want this anymore. I'll go buy two fox masks..."

Xiao Heng grabbed the person who was about to leave and held her hand tightly.

"like."

"As long as you do it, I like it."

Su Yue was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Heng smiled and said, "Nuo gods are not originally from Tianjin. There are so many vendors in Kyoto, but who has ever seen Nuo masks?"

"Let's go, my King of Hell."

Su Yuejian smiled and nodded, then held his hand back. On the bluestone road, the lights flickered, and two slender shadows clung to each other, becoming one.

"Ah Che, there's a place selling fried cakes on the street ahead. They smell really good. There's also some soup pork buns at the corner of the alley. I'm sure you'll like them."

"Well, Lord Yama bought it for me."

Su Yue saw Xiao Heng's purse in her hand and weighed it.

"There's also a Yangchun noodle shop over there. Even though they're plain noodles, they taste amazing!"

"Follow me, and I'll make sure you have delicious food and spicy drinks!"

"Yes, thank you, Lord Yama."

One Yan and one ghost walked on the road, attracting more attention, but no one dared to come forward. Su Yuejian pulled him around and wandered around, enjoying all kinds of delicious food.

After taking a bite of the juicy bun, Su Yuejian squinted her eyes with a sigh, and looked at the person next to her with a smile on his lips. She felt very happy and started to laugh.

"How about it? This is the best one I've found in all of Kyoto."

"You didn't eat much at the banquet just now, and the royal meal wasn't very good either. It's not as good as these soup dumplings. Let's not go to banquets like this in the future."

Xiao Heng was stunned.

He thought she was hungry for a long time, but it turned out that it was because she noticed that he didn't eat much at the dinner table.

Because the Queen Mother disliked seeing him, he had never eaten with them since he could remember.

Today was also his first time attending a family dinner, and it was the first time he discovered that this was how their family was when they were affectionate.

He had no appetite to begin with, and seeing the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and Princess Yongqing all having so much fun together, he couldn't eat at all.

Xiao Heng glanced at the person next to him, smacking his lips contentedly as he ate the meat bun, but his eyes had already flown two miles away, looking for the next place to find food.

After looking around and seeing that the person next to her didn't respond, Su Yuejian looked up at him.

Meeting her sparkling eyes, Xiao Heng curved his eyebrows.

"Lord Yan Wang is right. The royal meal is too unpalatable. I won't go there anymore."

Su Yuejian nodded. He took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the soup from the corner of her mouth. "You accompany Princess Cailuan every day. Do you still have time to find food?"

"Of course! I was able to find so many places thanks to Sailuan's love for food!"

As he was speaking, a familiar voice came from behind him, "Minghua?! It's really you!"

Xiao Heng looked up, his eyes darkening.

Cailuan, dressed in fiery red, came skipping out of the crowd, followed by a familiar figure.

"Did you really make the evil ghost Nuo mask?!" Cai Luan looked at the mask on her face curiously.

The moon-white brocade robe flowed like water in the candlelight, and her face was like the breeze and bright moon. A hint of joy flashed in Xie Jiusi's eyes, but when he saw the alienation in Su Yuejian's eyes, his heart sank again.

His face remained calm as he saluted the two of them, "Princess Minghua. Meet the Regent."

Cai Luan looked at the tall and majestic man beside Su Yuejian. His face was covered by an evil ghost mask, and the fierce and intimidating murderous aura on his body frightened her heart.

This is the legendary God of Death Regent. His terrifying appearance is truly...

True to its name.

How could such a beautiful woman like Minghua be promised to such a murderer? She couldn't help but shiver and pulled Su Yuejian closer to her.

"Princess, I have an appointment with Che tonight and cannot be your guide."

Seeing that she was about to pull him towards the downtown area, Su Yuejian hurriedly stopped her.

"What's the big deal? It's fun with two people, it's fun with four people, and it's more fun with more people. Xie Jiusi, don't you agree?"

Cai Luan turned around and looked at him. Xie Jiusi's gentle brows were stained with a smile, "Princess, what you said makes sense."

Without giving Su Yuejian a chance to refuse, Cai Luan pulled her into the crowd.

Su Yuejian turned around and comforted Xiao Heng, who had a gloomy face.

Xie Jiusi didn't know where the princess from Xihe heard about him, but she rushed to Changlefang and called him "moon husband" and said she wanted to marry him and take him back to Xihe.

It was really incomprehensible. He had finally gotten rid of her, but when he heard that Su Yuejian was fine and had entered the palace, he went out to check, but was caught by her again.

Fortunately, I still see Su Yuejian now, and fortunately she is safe and sound.

Seeing Cai Luan pulling Su Yuejian to disrupt their date, Xiao Heng glanced at him coldly, and Xie Jiusi curled his lips.

"Your Majesty, please."

The streets are already filled with lanterns during the day, and when they are lit at night, the colorful lights interweave, the jade pot glows, and fish and dragons dance all night long.

Cailuan has a jade rabbit pounding medicine lamp in her left hand and a lotus lamp in her right hand, and she looks conflicted.

"Minghua, which one do you like?"

Su Yuejian shook her head and took the Ruyi Moon Lamp from Xiao Heng's hand. "Thank you so much for your kindness, Patriarch. Ah Che is the one I want."

The dim candlelight illuminated Xie Jiusi, who was holding a lantern in both hands. The smile on his fair face froze for a moment.

"It's just a lantern. There are plenty more. Princess Minghua, don't worry. You might as well take a look."

"No, although people have two eyes, they can only look in one direction."

Cai Luan looked at Xie Jiusi's strange expression and tilted her head. "Give me the moon. I like both of them. I can watch both."

As she spoke, she took the lantern from his hand and raised her eyebrows at Su Yuejian, "Look how cute this little rabbit is."

Xie Jiusi looked at Su Yuejian steadily, and suddenly a pair of bony hands appeared in front of him. He turned his head and met Xiao Heng's cold eyes.

"I bought an extra one, it's perfect to give to Patriarch Xie."

Xie Jiusi was stunned, a look of disbelief on his face. Cailuan and Su Yue turned around upon hearing the sound and looked at the new lantern in Xiao Heng's hand. Cailuan picked it up and looked at it.

The round ball lamp rotates and rolls, and the candlelight keeps flowing, which is very magical.

"What kind of lantern is this? It's so wonderful!"

Xiao Heng held Su Yuejian's hand and glared at Xie Jiusi with cold eyes, "Get out of here."
