This villain has become a ghost

Yue Liuyunqi smiled.

She had never thought that there could be such a shameless person in this world. She said in disbelief, "Who touched me? Besides... how can this be the same?"

When she used his body, she automatically thought of herself as him. Now her soul has left her body. Although Nangong Mingzhu is beautiful, she does not have the habit of watching others take a bath!

Nangong Mingzhu smiled softly and said slowly, "Okay, if that's the case, I'll come out."

His words were so ambiguous that they only gave people more room for imagination.

Yue Liuyun had turned her back and was not looking at him, but at this moment she suddenly heard the sound of flowing water, which must be him walking out of the hot spring.

The rustling sound of clothes was heard again, and Nangong Mingzhu slowly walked past her.

The young man emerged from the water, his lean and sturdy frame fully visible. A drop of water trickled down his beautiful eyebrows, swirling around his collarbone before sliding down into the towel below his waist. With broad shoulders, narrow hips, and a slender waist, his every move exuded a beauty of hidden power.

Nangong Mingzhu walked step by step towards the screen where his clothes were hung, his eyes inadvertently glancing at Yue Liuyun.

Unexpectedly, Yue Liuyun was not shy at all. Instead, she looked him up and down with great interest.

She sighed in admiration, "Your Majesty, you are truly a beauty, no wonder you could have charmed Qiu Shuangwan so deeply."

Nangong Mingzhu: “…”

She looked just like the lecher who molested decent women in Furong Pavilion.

Bah, who is a decent woman?

Nangong Mingzhu walked behind the screen in silence, then appeared in front of her wearing a jade-colored robe and said lightly, "Let's go."

"Okay." Yue Liuyun followed him leisurely.

Nangong Mingzhu said with a half-smile as he walked, "I'm curious, are the people in your hometown the same as you? They can't take their eyes off beautiful people."

"That's not the case. I'm just quite obsessed with looks. Look at Concubine Xian, isn't she different from me?" Yue Liuyun said. "Besides... to be honest, the people in my hometown are indeed not as good-looking as you."

Nangong Mingzhu caught a certain word and asked thoughtfully, "'You guys'?"

Yue Liuyun nodded and said happily, "Yes, you, Shen Yue, Qiu Shuangwan, Ling Chaomian, Nangong Qianshang, Lin Yuan, Feng Ning... all have outstanding looks. If you were a star over there, you would definitely be admired by many people..."

This is actually the case.

Nangong Mingzhu couldn't understand why something as insignificant as appearance could become a reason for others to pursue someone.

However, Yue Liuyun seems to like good looks.

He was silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled and asked, "...So, who do you think has the most outstanding appearance among those people you just mentioned?"

Yue Liuyun said without even thinking: "Of course they each have their own merits, but..."

She suddenly set her gaze on Nangong Mingzhu, and her beautiful big eyes looked at him with a smile, smart and cunning.

Nangong Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat and he avoided her sight without leaving any trace.

She only smiled and said, "...Of course, Your Majesty is the most handsome."

I don't know whether what she said is true or false.

Nangong Mingzhu glanced at her and chuckled, "Slippery tongue."

Yue Liuyun cursed secretly.

But you obviously look quite happy.

Sure enough, everyone likes to hear nice and flattering words, and villains are no exception.

Finally they arrived at Qinghe Palace. Nangong Mingzhu was lying casually on the dragon bed, while Yue Liuyun was floating leisurely around them, in a daze.

The light of the full moon outside was soft and cold, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and there was silence.

Nangong Mingzhu half-opened his eyes and suddenly asked, "What is the emperor of your world like?"

"There is no emperor in my hometown." Yue Liuyun said with a smile.

Nangong Mingzhu was startled for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes and asked in surprise, "No emperor?"

When talking about this, Yue Liuyun became energetic and talked eloquently, describing to him the modern policies, systems, structures, culture, ideas, technology... one by one.

Nangong Mingzhu lowered his eyelashes and listened to her description carefully.

In the dead of night, the solitary light was soft, and her voice was clear and pleasant, telling stories that were more fascinating than those told by storytellers in teahouses, and like the gentlest whisper, it flowed slowly in the long night.

At that moment, he actually felt very safe. The sound that only he could hear did not feel noisy. Instead, it gave him a sense of human life amidst the loneliness and doubt day after day.

Perhaps it was because she posed no threat to him, or because of her mission, the authenticity of which was unclear, or perhaps because the world she described was too beautiful...

He suddenly felt that it was good that she could appear by his side...

After Yue Liuyun finally finished speaking with a lingering feeling, Nangong Mingzhu stared blankly for a moment with deep eyes, then suddenly revealed a soothing smile and said calmly, "Your world... is really wonderful."

There are no so many conspiracies, intrigues, and deceptions. No need to be trapped in the stinking and dark quagmire. You can roam freely in the vast world. Sunshine is just an ordinary thing for people, not an extravagant hope...

He added, "I now believe that you came here simply to complete your mission. This world is so backward by comparison."

Yue Liuyun: “…”

Okay, okay, didn’t she say it a long time ago? This person only believes it now.

Yue Liuyun rolled his eyes.

She was silent for a moment, perhaps reflecting on something, before continuing, "It's not the world that's backward, but this era."

"Our world also had a similar period. The old period was similar to the current situation in this world, but I come from a new era."

"If the history of this world develops for a few hundred or even a thousand years, by then, it should be similar to my current world. So, time changes everything."

After listening to this, Nangong Mingzhu remained silent and seemed to be thinking about something.

Yue Liuyun pondered for a moment and continued, "Although time is uncontrollable, the current situation of this entire dynasty depends on you. What you have to do now is to stabilize the country, eliminate treacherous officials, quell rebellions, maintain peace, follow public opinion, and eliminate Chiyu..."

At the end, Yue Liuyun blinked and added seriously: "Of course, the most important thing is that you must survive, because this is my mission."

"No matter what happens, remember that your life is the most important thing. If something happens to you, it will be a double loss!"

Nangong Mingzhu was amused by the so-called "one corpse, two lives". He turned over gracefully and said lazily, "Okay."

Seeing that he agreed, Yue Liuyun nodded with satisfaction.

"Oh, by the way," Yue Liuyun suddenly said with a smile, "There are still a few days until the Autumn Banquet. May I have the honor of meeting the other beauties in His Majesty's harem?"

The scene of being surrounded by a group of beauties must be very pleasing to the eyes. Yue Liuyun's eyes light up just thinking about it. He is looking forward to it, so much so!

Nangong Mingzhu said decisively: "No."

"...Why?" Yue Liuyun stopped laughing and asked quietly.

Nangong Mingzhu rubbed his temples and said, "I'm annoyed."

Annoyed? Yue Liuyun was shocked. He really deserved to be single! As an emperor, he was still single until now. Has he ever reflected on his own problems?

Yue Liuyun wanted to struggle again: "But I..."

Nangong Mingzhu interrupted her with a half-smile: "If you say one more word, I will commit suicide right now."

Yue Liuyun immediately shut up: "..."

Already honest.
