The villain has been playing badly for ten years

In Cangming City, the royal capital.

As night falls, the stars gradually fade and the insects chirp incessantly.

The structure of its royal court is different from that of the Central Plains, with the focus being divided into two parts, inside and outside.

If you were there, you could see this foreign land, with towering walls made of strange black stone.

The interior is the depth of the palace and its buildings are extremely strange with their flying eaves and pointed corners. Countless soldiers in silver helmets and armor come and go, making the place look very solemn.

The two of them flashed by on the city wall like shadows. Not far away, they could see tall buildings with sharp fang-like patterns on their glazed tiles. They were all strangely shaped, and there was a sense of mystery in their ruggedness.

Ning Xiusu had sneaked in once before, and this time, in addition to going to the place where the deceased prince was, he also had to look for the so-called spring first.

Fortunately, Hua Jianbai was well prepared. He took the map and found that the nearby place was the garden inside the palace.

When we reached the corridor, the breeze blew gently, and the gauze curtains hanging on both sides of the corridor fluttered gently. The gauze curtains were brightly colored, embroidered with exquisite patterns, and were as light as colorful clouds.

But the entire palace garden was lifeless, and under the starlight, it looked even more bleak.

"Big villain, it's so gloomy here——"

"Yes."

Hua Jianbai suddenly pointed to the scenery not far away, his eyes full of excitement.

"Hey, over there."

The glazed plank road here is winding, with two or three pavilions scattered around. In the center there are rugged rockery and a gurgling stream, which looks like a place for winding streams and flowing wine.

In addition, countless exotic flowers and plants with colorful colors grow beside the springs.

It was like an endless sea of ​​flowers. The brightly colored ones were the Tianluo flowers. In the midst of the purple mist, there were also many Yuguizhi plants...

Ning Xiusu went to investigate and actually found a Duheng grass with red branches and leaves. It was right next to a patch of purple Yuguizhi, not too far away.

Hua Jianbai had already discovered Du Hengcao. He lifted up the hair on his forehead and whispered:

"Big villain, leave this little thing of picking flowers to me, no problem."

Ning Xiusu didn't stop him and replied, "Be careful."

After looking around, Hua Jianbai saw that there was no one here. He took two steps forward and pulled up the Duheng grass by the roots.

He tiptoed and was about to go towards Ning Xiusu when suddenly, a group of people in silver armor walked past. It turned out that it was late at night and it was time for the shift change.

Hua Jianbai was startled when he heard the sound of weapons approaching. He didn't know where to hide when suddenly someone held his shoulder.

Then, his feet were suspended in the air.

Ning Xiusu was like a light crow-blue feather, rising up on the wind and quickly passing behind a row of heavy soldiers.

Some of the heavy soldiers on the glazed plank road were drowsy and couldn't see anything clearly, thinking it was just a dream...

In an instant, the two of them flew up to the platform of the watchtower and stood at the highest point of the city wall.

Hua Jianbai turned to look at the side of his face, and the tiny glint in his mountain spring-like eyes was like stars. He said anxiously:

"Big villain, didn't you see Yu Guizhi just now? Why did you rush over?"

Ning Xiusu took the Duheng grass from his hand and said lazily:

"I have to try and see if the Taiqing Huyuan Pill you gave me works."

As he spoke, he plucked off the leaves of the Duheng grass, leaving only the red roots at the head and tail.

"Don't you want to eat now..."

He shook his head: "This medicine is poisonous if consumed raw. It must be refined in an alchemy furnace."

Hua Jianbai understood, looked up at the Big Dipper again, took out the map and gestured,

"Thirteen o'clock, that's it, then to the right... that's not right... there's a wall here, isn't that the way out of the royal city?"

Ning Xiusu saw this and smiled faintly:

"Hey, Flower Guard, you're holding it upside down."

Hua Jianbai turned around and was almost stunned for a moment. She saw that his clear and ink-black eyes were extremely bright, and his cold and indifferent temperament was replaced by gentleness at this moment.

Without any warning, a dialog box appeared in front of Hanamibai:

"Please accept character design tasks in a timely manner to improve the completion rate."

"What kind of character is this?" Hanami was very frustrated.

"My character is not a flower thief, why am I always bound to the flower thief system?"

"The previous host has not changed. Number 367... You have already received the special gift item. Please improve your mission completion."

The sound of Baizhu's wheels rang out again. Hua Jianbai sighed in his heart and ignored it.

"Number 367, you have received the special gift..."

Hana Jianbai was annoyed to death and cursed in his heart, isn't it just an exchange for the Taiqing Huyuan Pill, why are you making such a fuss?

He was still having a fierce battle in his mind, but he stared at Ning Xiusu in a daze.

"What are you... daydreaming about again?"

Seeing the flowers fade, Ning Xiusu said nothing. There was a barely perceptible panic in his eyes. After a while, he pretended to be calm and turned his head to the side.

"I'm asking you something."

Hua Jianbai finally reacted, raised his eyebrows proudly, and replied like a robot:

"Big villain, did you just mock me?"

"..."

Ning Xiusu didn't expect him to delay and still stay at the same place.

"I do not……"

Before he could finish his words, Hanamibai exclaimed, "Ouch!" and pointed at the map:

"Look, there's clearly something wrong with Bai Zhu's markings. The routes are all the wrong way around. Big villain, it must be trying to trick me!"

Ning Xiusu: "Actually, there's no need to be so troublesome."

"I know you can fly, but the place near the King and the Crown Prince is in the center of the Royal City. There's no magic circle there. We have to go around it."

"Si Chen gave me something that can bypass most magic arrays."

Ning Xiusu took the small bead-like thing in his hand. The thumb-sized bead was like glass, reflecting the faint moonlight.

Hua Jianbai looked at the small bead and blurted out immediately.

"Is it the Star Stone?"

"You know..."

"Oh, I've written about it before. This thing is produced outside the desolate sea, so it's not uncommon."

As Hanamibai spoke, he couldn't help but raise his chin, not knowing whether it was because of annoyance or something else, with a look of displeasure.

"As for you, why didn't you tell me about this good stuff earlier? You've made me do this in vain..."

Ning Xiusu listened to his complaints but didn't get angry.

"How could that be? Your efforts in attacking Duhengcao were not in vain."

"Oh, okay."

"Are you afraid of heights?"

"Huh? I don't... wow..."

Suddenly, Ning Xiusu held his shoulders, tapped his toes lightly, and rose into the air.

Before Hanamibai could react, he was suddenly lifted into mid-air, as if he had merged into the moonlight.

Ning Xiusu took him up to the sky and then dived down to the ground. The prince was located on the east side. After bypassing the heavy troops, he flashed past the fang-like roof like a phantom.

"No way, this is so exciting...even more fun than bungee jumping!"

Hanamibai couldn't help but marvel at the sight of himself high in the sky. It was the first time he clearly felt the sensation of riding the wind, and he felt both excited and at ease.

He could run very fast, but compared to running in the sky, walking on the void was a completely different feeling.

Perhaps because of his excitement, he felt a cool breeze on his face, with a hint of cold pine wind, as if the ink on a book had not yet dried. His heart beat faster and he thought to himself how much fun it would be if he could keep flying.

For a moment, he unconsciously held the person closer, but unexpectedly noticed that the other person's eyelashes trembled, as if he was slightly startled.

Ning Xiusu didn't know if he did it on purpose, and things almost got messed up again.

"Hana Mitsuha, could you please stop being like a snake..."

"Ahahaha... I'm afraid of falling."

Hua Jianbai embarrassedly put down her legs that were climbing up, but seemed a little unstable, so she quickly hugged his waist.

Ning Xiusu smelled the fragrance of intoxicating flowers and felt the hair brushing against his neck. It was as if a trace of electricity was embedded in his heart, and there was an indescribable throbbing.

Hanamibai is always like this, so carefree that it's hard to understand.
