Severing ties with family to marry the young marshal, his whole family chases me to the crematorium.

Just as Xia Ran said, the darkness before dawn still shrouded the earth, and before the sky had even turned a pale white, a series of urgent and heavy knocks suddenly broke the tranquility of the Marshal's Mansion.

The sudden noise instantly put the entire mansion on edge.

A mysterious man dressed in a black robe stood at the door. He was tall and imposing, but his face was completely obscured by the large robe.

When Shen Qingyao rushed over and her eyes fell on the man in black robes, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease that she couldn't quite put her finger on.

It turned out that the man in black robes in front of her was not a stranger, but the guy who had a fierce battle with Shen Qingyao at the hospital last time!

Recalling that thrilling battle, Shen Qingyao still remembers it vividly. Now, seeing them again, her heart involuntarily quickens.

However, the man in black robes was clearly taken aback when he saw Shen Qingyao.

Perhaps he didn't expect to run into her here, or perhaps he was surprised to see her at the Marshal's Mansion.

After a brief moment of shock, Shen Qingyao quickly regained her senses, took a deep breath, and tried her best to hide the surprise in her eyes, pretending that she did not recognize the man in black at all.

"Are you... really the God of Bliss?"

The man in black robes stared at Shen Qingyao, his face revealing undisguised deep suspicion.

Faced with such a direct question, Shen Qingyao's heart skipped a beat, but her expression remained calm and composed, showing no sign of inner turmoil.

"And who are you? How dare you trespass into the young marshal's residence!"

Shen Qingyao raised her head and stared coldly into the eyes of the man in black robes. Her gaze revealed an extremely indifferent aura, as if nothing in the world was worthy of her attention. Her arrogant and haughty attitude was on full display.

A few uncertain glints flashed quickly in the black-robed man's eyes. His expression became increasingly hesitant, as if he was unsure whether the woman in front of him was the target he was looking for.

Just as the man in black robes was about to ask something more, a gentle breeze carrying a faint fishy smell drifted into the courtyard...

The black-robed man, whose attention was originally fixed on Shen Qingyao, suddenly trembled violently as if struck by an invisible electric current, and was instantly jolted awake.

His relaxed nerves suddenly tensed up, and his eyes, like those of a startled wild beast, quickly and warily scanned his surroundings.

Just as the tense atmosphere began to build, a gust of wind howled past, and a small figure, like a cannonball, rushed into the spacious hall with lightning speed.

The little figure blinked its big, round, bright eyes and stared fearlessly at the black-robed man in front of it, its gaze revealing a menacing intent that dared not be underestimated.

When everyone looked closely, they were surprised to find that the unexpected guest was none other than Long Jiaojiao, who had disappeared for many days!

At this moment, she was wearing a bright red floral jacket, embroidered with exquisite patterns and designs.

Her long, jet-black hair was carefully styled into two adorable little buns, which playfully fell beside her ears, swaying gently with her movements, making her look even more lively and agile.

Seeing Long Jiaojiao act so impulsively, Shen Qingyao couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding and quickly shouted:

"Jiaojiao, don't do anything reckless!"

Her words were filled with anxiety and worry. She knew that the situation was extremely complicated. If she allowed Long Jiaojiao to act recklessly, not only would all their previous efforts be in vain, but it might also bring unexpected and enormous danger to both of them.

Especially considering that if Long Jiaojiao's special identity were exposed to the Bliss Society, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Despite his reluctance, upon hearing Shen Qingyao's urgent call, Long Jiaojiao gritted his teeth, suppressed his inner impulse, and reluctantly took a few steps back before obediently standing behind Shen Qingyao.

Even so, her bright, piercing eyes remained fixed on the man in black robes in front of her, showing no sign of letting her guard down.

Faced with this sudden turn of events and Long Jiaojiao's unusual behavior, the man in black robes naturally wouldn't let his guard down.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed intently on the dragon-like creature behind Shen Qingyao. After scrutinizing it from head to toe, he thought to himself:

Even the most dull-witted person could easily see that this little girl named Long Jiaojiao was definitely not an ordinary human child.

She exuded an aura of mystery that made people wary.

Thinking of this, the man in black robes involuntarily became more vigilant, watching the other party's every move intently to prevent any unexpected situations from occurring.

"What exactly is she?"

The black-robed man's sharp, hawk-like gaze was fixed on Long Jiaojiao. His cold, deep voice was like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, slowly gliding across the skin, sending chills down one's spine.

This single question was like igniting a powder keg, instantly enraging the previously hostile dragon, Jiaojiao, whose fur stood on end.

Her delicate face flushed red with anger, as if it were about to spew forth flames.

"Old man! You're the one who's a thing! I'm definitely not a thing... Oh no! Of course I'm a thing... No, no, no, that's not right either! Humph, in short, in short, you're definitely not a good thing!"

Long Jiaojiao stood with her hands on her hips, furious, looking exactly like a shrewish young woman cursing in the street. Her bright eyes were now filled with anger, flashing with a burning light.

The man in the black robe had clearly not expected that the seemingly petite and delicate girl in front of him would have such a fiery temper. After being scolded harshly, he stood there dumbfounded.

He opened and closed his mouth several times, but couldn't squeeze out a single word.

Shen Qingyao, who was standing to the side, was equally caught off guard. She never imagined that the usually well-behaved and adorable Long Jiaojiao would completely lose her temper over such a simple sentence.

What surprised her even more was that Long Jiaojiao had only been gone for a short while, yet he had suddenly become so vulgar, rude, and sarcastic.
