Poisonous Goddess: I'm just lazing around in the mortal realm.

Herlian Nash's expression was somewhat stiff. He really hadn't expected that the person who was now saying to let Duan Yuyan go would be the one who hated her the most in the world.

This really caught him off guard, and he didn't know how to start the conversation.

Pei Nanyue slowly turned around and gave him a pale smile.

"I know your plan is dangerous, but if it's going to damage a girl's reputation, I really can't understand it."

After a moment, she nodded to Hernández and then prepared to leave.

Hernández, who was standing inside the house at that moment, rushed to the front of the house in a few steps but still couldn't help but speak in a deep voice.

"But do you know who's behind this?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Nanyue stiffened slightly. She stood in the courtyard, the bright moonlight shining on the girl, as if she were draped in a layer of white gauze.

Pure and flawless

She turned her head slightly, her face expressionless, looking behind her with a face full of questions.

"That person from the Fourth Princess's residence..."

"Stay away from the An family..."

"Is it...the Third Prince?"

Pei Nanyue's face visibly paled suddenly. Although she had already seen through Duan Yuchuan's true character to some extent because of the marriage between the two families.

But what happened next caught her completely off guard.

A person who can resort to such despicable means against their own sister is no good person!

Hrynash composed himself.

“The Third Prince is cunning. Haven’t you noticed that he’s changed since he was poisoned? Especially… Consort An is pregnant again. It’s clear that the An family is going to abandon him.”

"I know that. The Third Prince rarely goes out these days, and he even killed dozens of servants in his residence. I'm afraid it's because..."

Pei Nanyue frowned slightly. Compared to the emperor's overt covetous gaze upon their Pei family, she was more afraid of this extremely cunning fox lurking in the shadows.

Nowadays, she tries to stay in the mansion and not go out unless necessary.

To avoid any mishaps.

"The capital is about to change. Since your sister has already secretly left the capital, you should try not to go out. As for the Fourth Princess, I will give you a satisfactory explanation."

"how do you know?"

Pei Nanyue was immediately jolted awake. She had kept this a secret very well; there shouldn't be anyone who knew.

Hrenash forced a self-deprecating smile and said...

"Back when I was staying with the Pei family, I had a friend who was working for your family. Don't blame him for this; I found out through some means."

"Are you spying on me?"

Pei Nanyue was clearly not happy to hear this.

After all, ever since she came of age, she liked to leave room for maneuver in everything and only did things she was sure of.

With such leverage suddenly falling into the hands of outsiders, she clearly sensed danger.

"That's not what I meant..."

"If you can resolve the matter of the Fourth Princess peacefully, I will consider it a favor I owe you. However, I will obviously not forgive you for leaving spies in my Pei family. Farewell."

Pei Nanyue naturally didn't want to listen to his excuses, so she just nodded hastily and then turned and left the courtyard.

The deep night enveloped her

Helian Nash opened his mouth, but the words of explanation he was about to utter were swallowed back down.

He turned his head to look at the jade cup in his hand, pondering for a long time.

Philadelphia

Philadelphia summer nights aren't exactly hot.

When Thirteen and his group arrived at midnight, the city gates were already locked, so they simply rested temporarily at a tavern on the outskirts of the city.

This trip took about half a month. Thirteen looked at Zhou Jinghuai, who had come with another lame excuse to visit today, with a sense of indifference and disdain. He couldn't help but throw the boiling water in his teacup at him.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Zhou Jinghuai quickly dodged, thus saving his new clothes, which cost over thirty taels of silver to make.

"Didn't you see? What kind of man breaks into someone's bedroom every night?"

After changing into a loose-fitting outfit, Pei Suisui came out of the inner room. She glared at him rudely, her face flushed, and she looked full of energy.

"What do you know, little brat?"

Zhou Jinghuai retorted without hesitation, glancing at the troublesome Pei Suisui, thinking to himself that Thirteen had been staying with Pei Suisui all this time.

So much so that even the thought of talking to her alone again became so unattainable for him.

Mainly because there are few opportunities

Seeing that they had already arrived in front of Philadelphia, and that the eyesore Shen Mu would soon be there too, if he wanted to bewitch Thirteen again...

It's probably going to be even more difficult.

Thirteen rested his head on his hands on the table, his expression calm.

"I think if I used your face to make clothes, I could make a winter outfit out of it. It would definitely fetch a good price."

She pointed to Zhou Jinghuai's alluring face, as if ever since Zhou Jinghuai appeared before her every day, she had become captivated by his handsome face that could charm anyone.

With resistance

Or rather, people are tired of seeing it.

Zhou Jinghuai frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

"What do you mean? I'm selling myself for a good price?" He pointed to himself, thinking Thirteen was referring to his good looks, which dampened his already somewhat downcast mood.

It rippled out again in an instant.

Unexpectedly, Pei Suisui suddenly sat down between the two of them, abruptly interrupting Zhou Jinghuai's daydreams.

"She's saying you're so thick-skinned you could make clothes out of them for winter."

"You little rascal..."

Zhou Jinghuai frowned as he looked at Pei Suisui, who was now sitting casually on the bench like a rough man, completely unconcerned about manners.

On the contrary, she was completely unlike the sickly young lady she was just half a month ago.

However, ever since Pei Suisui appeared, he has been itching to hate her!

"Sui Sui understands me best. Now that we've arrived in Philadelphia, Young Master Zhou, shouldn't you be busy with your own affairs?"

Thirteen glanced at him, her little face full of disdain.

If it weren't for Zhou Jinghuai's extra care along the way, she would never have been able to endure this long.

Once they enter Philadelphia tomorrow morning, Zhou Jinghuai should naturally leave.

After all, she knew more or less that Zhou Jinghuai's presence here wasn't really because they were just "on the way"!

"Don't be in such a hurry. Lord Shen Mu hasn't joined us yet, has he? I might as well wait for him to come back before I leave."

He subconsciously touched his nose, feeling somewhat guilty even after saying those words.

He knew, of course, that he had to leave. Aunt Qin would appear in unexpected places from time to time, which was a silent warning to him.

The situation in the Western Divine Realm is quite troublesome now, and he doesn't have much time to stay in the mortal world.

"Shen Mu has infiltrated the Southern Barbarian army, and we've heard very little about him in the past two weeks."

Pei Suisui glanced at Thirteen without revealing her expression, and seeing that Thirteen's expression did not change, she continued.

"If Lord Shen is able to return victorious, Young Master Zhou, you should leave as soon as possible. If you encounter him... you probably can't beat him."
