The whole family of villains listens to my heart, the Regent Prince treats me dearly.

Dark clouds over the city.

The crescent moon was swallowed by thick clouds, leaving only a sliver hanging in the sky, glowing with a faint red light.

Zhai Rong and He Junce arrived at the prayer ceremony.

"Meet the Regent!"

Everyone knelt down to greet them.

Jun Ce walked to the main seat and took his seat.

Zhai Rongyu was somewhat dazed when she saw his resolute profile.

If it weren't for him, I would still be wandering around the palace aimlessly, and I wouldn't have gotten here so quickly.

Upon seeing Zhai Rongyu, Zhai Muling immediately stepped forward.

"Rong'er, where did you go?"

She was extremely worried.

Zhai Rongyu was somewhat surprised to see that she had changed her clothes.

"Sister, why did you change your clothes?"

[Has the scene where they fall into the water already been filmed?]

[Did the Sixth Prince succeed?]

[Wait a minute, I just did a divination for her, and the male and female leads have already met.]

Could it be that the Sixth Prince's heroic rescue of the damsel in distress was witnessed by the Crown Prince?

【Oh ho~ a chaotic scene.】

Zhai Muling's heart was filled with turmoil.

Prince...

The person who saved her was actually the Crown Prince...

“I…I just fell into the water, and the Crown Prince saved me,” Zhai Muling said.

Zhai Rongyu: !!!

What?! The male lead stole the show?!

What's going on here?!

This book is terrible!

How did it collapse like this?!

“Sister, that Crown Prince… you’d better stay away from him.” Zhai Rongyu said with a solemn expression.

"Why?"

Zhai Muling recalled the face that had saved her, and the burning passion in his eyes.

I couldn't help but blush a little.

“Uh… because…” Zhai Rongyu looked around, then whispered mysteriously in Zhai Muling’s ear, “He has a very peculiar fetish! Most people can’t handle it.”

"Wh...what kind of fetish?" Zhai Muling asked, somewhat puzzled.

"He likes to chain people up with small gold chains! Then he plays all sorts of games like imprisonment, red rope... it's really scary! You know what I mean?"

Zhai Muling didn't understand.

But as she listened, a few blushes appeared on her face.

Zhai Rongyu was greatly shocked by her shy appearance!

[Wow! Do you just like doing this?!]

Is this something I'm entitled to know?!

Sis, you're really good at this...

Zhai Rongyu still wanted to try to salvage the situation.

So she continued earnestly, "Sis, the term 'yandere' sounds intriguing, but actually talking about it can be deadly!"

If you really follow the Crown Prince, then the rest of your life will be filled with a sadomasochistic love story.

To put it simply, she not only cried herself blind.

[She was pregnant with his child but was questioned about whether it was his biological child!]

[Later, he even deliberately took a concubine to make you jealous.]

[This resulted in your miscarriage.]

[He committed suicide after being heartbroken!]

Even though he regretted it after you died, what good did it do?

[In other words, the readers enjoy the story, but you're actually risking your life!]

As Zhai Muling listened, her face grew paler and paler.

She bit her lip tightly.

The romantic thoughts I had just had vanished instantly.

So... my life has been so tragic...

She absolutely must not repeat the same mistake.

Zhai Muling composed herself and said, "Rong'er, what are you talking about? There's nothing between him and me."

"No... there won't be any."

As the two were talking, a eunuch announced loudly, "The prayer ceremony shall officially begin!"

"Please invite—the Three Pure Ones!"

Everyone looked towards the high platform.

A golden lotus platform slowly rose from the ground. The Three Pure Ones, holding whisks, sat on the lotus platform with their hands forming a mudra and their eyes half-closed.

He was thin, wrapped in a blue robe, and looked to be around forty years old.

He chanted, "I humbly beseech Heaven and Earth, and respectfully beseech the gods, that my dragon flame may prosper forever!"

Everyone listened attentively, holding their breath.

The Three Pure Ones suddenly opened their eyes, waved their whisks, and jumped off the lotus platform.

A crisp bell rang, and the clouds in the sky rolled down, pressing down on the moonlight, and the sky dimmed instantly!

The crowd knelt and cried out, "Three Pure Ones, save my Long Yan!"

He took out a bell from his sleeve and shook it again. Instantly, dark clouds swept away the sun, and the wind and clouds changed dramatically.

Zhai Rong's pupils suddenly contracted.

【Isn't this my magical artifact, the Hunyuan Bell?】

How did it end up in his hands?!

Upon closer inspection, a red string was found wrapped around the bell.

Zhai Rongyu gave a cold laugh.

No wonder the Hunyuan Bell obeyed his commands; it turns out its spirit was bound.

It turns out that this supposedly all-powerful Sanqing Zhenren was just a fraudster who plagiarized others' ideas.

[You're overestimating him.]

I thought he really had the ability to stir up trouble.

Jun Ce heard the voice in his heart and looked coldly at the high platform.

Zhai Muling was also taken aback.

Rong'er's... magical artifact?

The Three Pure Ones drew their peach wood sword, took a sip of wine from the table, sprayed it onto the hilt, raised the sword and thrust it into the sky, shouting, "A ray of light opens in the sky, grant me the dawn!"

Then, the dark clouds in the sky actually parted to both sides, revealing the bright moonlight.

Everyone was stunned and cheered loudly.

Only Zhai Rong's third eye could see that the moon was still glowing red.

"These Three Pure Ones are truly incredibly skilled!"

"so amazing!"

"It is truly a blessing for our Dragon Flame Kingdom to have such a capable person!"

"If I could have him perform a ritual for me, I would die without regret!"

"Stop dreaming! You don't have that kind of influence!"

……

Zhai Rongyu raised an eyebrow.

This old Taoist priest is really something. He first created this illusion of clouds obscuring the sun, and then used his magic to break it open.

It really makes it seem like he can bring peace and tranquility to the Dragon Flame Kingdom.

Using her magical artifacts to do such a despicable thing, pretending to be a deity to deceive people, is truly shameless.

I don't care how arrogant he acts, I just need to get the Primordial Bell back.

"Hey, old Taoist!" Zhai Rongyu jumped onto the platform. "Where did you get that bell?"

The Three Pure Ones were enjoying everyone's congratulations when they were interrupted by a delicate shout.

He frowned and looked at Zhai Rongyu.

"Who are you?"

How could you know that he got the bell from somewhere else?

"I am your great-grandmother," Zhai Rongyu said in a delicate voice, "Hand over the bell!"

The Three Pure Ones' expression turned cold.

They really came for the bell!

How dare a little girl take such a treasure!

Does she deserve it?

He said with a gloomy face, "Young lady, I will not hold it against you because you are still young. Go down quickly, this is not a place for you."

The audience below immediately erupted in cheers.

"What's wrong with this Miss Zhai? How dare she offend the Three Pure Ones!"

"Miss Zhai, please come down quickly!"

"This is a prayer ceremony, not a place for you to fool around!"

"She's just a country girl, how dare she disrespect the Three Pure Ones!"

"Is she insane?!"

Consort Shu also said sternly, "Zhai Rongyu! You must not be disrespectful to the Three Pure Ones!"

"It's one thing for you to act recklessly at other times, but this is the Emperor's blessing ceremony, which concerns the fate of the nation. How can you be allowed to act so recklessly!"

The Empress looked at Jun Ce: "Regent, this..."

"No rush, let's take a look first," Jun Ce said calmly.

Only then did the Empress notice the faint marks on Jun Ce's face.

These are... teeth marks?!

She was shocked and turned to look at Zhai Rongyu on the high platform.

If she remembered correctly, the two of them seemed to have come together, right?

The Empress's throat went dry, and a thunderclap seemed to explode above her head.

This old ironwood tree has blossomed?!
