After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Before dawn, Lu Sijian took a nap in Sheng Yunchao's arms.

She used to feel that there were many dangers and she never let her guard down for a single day, because if she was not careful, she would be doomed.

She had no allies, no friends, and walked alone in the darkness, the road ahead long and uncertain.

Her brother, her lover, and even her best friend were all destined to betray her.

For a long time, she was trapped in a negative mood, feeling that this world was not worth living in.

Until that day at the train station in Wang Ma's hometown, Sheng Yunchao traveled thousands of miles to pick her up and take her home.

The car was comfortably warm, and his embrace was strong and resilient. She felt like a traveler who had journeyed a long way through wind and snow, finally finding rest in a warm harbor.

Feeling warm and comfortable all over, she quickly fell asleep.

……

Sheng Yunchao looked down at her peaceful sleeping face and slowly tightened his arms around her.

The thought that she was in his arms, not some unreal phantom in a dream, something he could see but couldn't touch, filled him with boundless joy.

My heart has never felt so full.

He couldn't bear to look away, and just gazed at her greedily.

He didn't know what method she used to paralyze the "god" monitoring her, but this situation wouldn't last long.

Therefore, this moment is extremely precious.

He sat there until it was broad daylight.

Noticing the eyelashes of the person in his arms flutter, he couldn't help but smile. "Good morning, Jane."

Lu Sijian couldn't help but smile as well, "Good morning."

She slept incredibly well and felt completely satisfied. She sat up, opened the car door, and walked to the lakeside to admire the rising sun.

"Good morning." A mechanical voice rang in my ears.

Lu Sijian smiled but did not respond. Instead, she waited quietly for the sun to rise.

That touch of gold fell into her eyes, shimmering and dancing, and quickly transformed into a dazzling radiance.

Her face was bathed in warm sunlight, and she was breathtakingly beautiful in the interplay of light and shadow.

The black-haired priest did not pursue her lack of response, but was deeply attracted by the scene before him.

He silently stayed with her to watch the sunrise.

Until she noticed a tall, slender figure standing next to her.

Sheng Yunchao felt that sense of being watched return.

Previously, it was faint and omnipresent, but this time there was only the strongest one, and it was even stronger than usual, carrying a faint hostility.

So this is targeting him? He lowered his eyelids and smiled silently.

There are 14 priests in the temple. Which one is this?

As soon as the sun fully rose above the lake, hurried footsteps echoed from the Lu family villa, presumably because they had discovered that their young mistress had left home in the middle of the night.

Sheng Yunchao knew that someone would come looking for him soon, and the pleasure of the night was fleeting, leaving him feeling somewhat lost.

"Thank you." Her heartfelt words echoed in my ears.

Before he could react, Lu Sijian blurted out, "Thank you for watching the sunrise with me."

She didn't look at him; after saying that, she turned and walked towards her own villa.

Sheng Yunchao stood in the morning light, smiling as he watched her leave, silently thinking to himself, "I should be thanking you."

-

Inside the temple, the black-haired priest couldn't help but smile slightly.

Was that "thank you" actually said to him?

He really wanted to say "you're welcome," but he was worried it would be too abrupt, so he held back and didn't say anything.

The main quest should be almost over, and then she can be extradited to the divine realm.

I was actually quite eager to see her.

However, there is still a very important thing right now, which is to prevent her from bearing too much sin.

Otherwise, even if she reached the Kingdom of God, she would face endless imprisonment.

As the most powerful priest, he could certainly show favoritism, but not to an excessive degree.

You could ask Priest No. 1 for a pardon and apply to have her imprisoned in his house.

However, No. 1 has been in seclusion for a long time and has rarely inquired about the affairs of the small world recently. It is unknown whether he can still find people smoothly.

Gu Sheng woke up with a start; it was still pitch black outside the window.

He dreamed again of his childhood, of that terrifying mansion.

It was a shadow that haunted him for the rest of his life, a deep fear, yet he didn't understand why.

He only knew that he had gone to the mansion with his father for a banquet, but he couldn't remember what happened inside.

Every time he dreamed of that mansion, he would tremble and stiffen with fear, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, completely unable to put up a strong resistance.

Overwhelming fear and despair, like an invisible hand, gripped his heart tightly.

Gu Sheng was covered in sweat and could only breathe deeply to dispel the fear that had seeped into his bones.

Having been an adult for a long time, he already possessed formidable abilities to protect himself, yet he remained utterly powerless in the face of his childhood dreams.

This feeling was too unpleasant; he absolutely could not tolerate being manipulated like this before!

Damn it! What happened? Why can't I remember?!

He raised his hand and swept everything off the coffee table.

With a loud crash, the sound of glass and porcelain shattering was especially clear in the quiet night.

A soft, sweet voice came from outside, "Mr. Liang, are you alright?"

He threw back the covers, got out of bed, walked over and opened the door, and sure enough, he saw Mu Liangyue standing outside.

She was wearing pajamas, staring at the beads of sweat on his forehead with a worried look. "Did you have another nightmare?"

Gu Sheng stepped aside to let her in, looked at the mess on the floor, and sighed, "I'm sorry you had to see this... Don't move, just have the cleaning staff come and clean it up in the morning."

Mu Liangyue: "Does your head still hurt? How about I massage it for you again now?"

Gu Sheng lay down on the bed with peace of mind, closed his eyes and let her massage him.

Recently, he has been having frequent nightmares and has been experiencing splitting headaches every day. He has seen many doctors, but nothing has helped. So he invited Mu Liangyue to his home to massage his head to see if it would relieve the pain.

He has always been cautious and finds it difficult to let his guard down with others, but he is very willing to open his heart to Mu Liangyue.

Because she was his savior, a ray of light in his life.

He didn't remember what happened in that house, but he remembered what happened afterward.

At that time, he suffered inhumane torture and was covered in wounds, on the verge of death. It was Mu Liangyue who appeared and saved him.

"You really haven't been to a courtyard like that?" Gu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes and asked.

Mu Liangyue shook her head. "I really don't remember. If I said I did, I would be lying to you."

Gu Sheng closed her eyes again.

It's right that she doesn't remember; after all, the human brain has a self-protection mechanism, and it's better to forget such terrible memories.

He kept telling himself not to forget because he was unwilling and angry, but he only remembered the emotion of anger, not the details of the incident or the appearance of his enemy.

But he had a vague impression that he had been protected in that mansion.
