A dark shadow slowly emerged from the darkness outside the palace. There was a rustling sound in the ears, making it unclear whether it was the sound of the wind or something else.
Most of the people who had surrounded Xiuyin suddenly stepped back, and then surrounded the former Empress, who seemed stunned in place and haven’t reacted to the change in situation.
Xiuyin’s expression grew darker, his pupils slightly contracted as he watched the figure move towards the light.
The young man with black hair and black eyes had a gentle smile on his lips, dressed in a luxurious black attire, hinting at his identity.
He tightly held someone in his arms—a person wearing a light yellow princess gown. It was Yan Luo, whom both the former Empress and Xiuyin couldn’t find.
Yan Luo’s slender neck was held in the hand of the person behind her, a body that already had little strength and was now declining even further.
Yan Luo cursed her bad luck silently. Little Pink was helping with eavesdropping the conversation, and it didn’t pay enough attention to guard against this person. By the time Little Pink discovered him, it was already too late.
As for this person, the original owner seemed to subconsciously avoid him. Many deeply buried memories made Yan Luo only had vague understanding of him.
This person’s name was Yan Jiang, the original owner’s older brother and the only prince of that country.
However, from the beginning until now, the behavior of this person seemed… unsettling to Yan Luo.
Until he locked her gaze onto the scenes in the hall and spoke with a smile or perhaps anger, “Is it because of that person that Luoluo doesn’t want to go back?”
As he said this, he walked inside the main hall with Yan Luo.
He let go of her and repeated the earlier statement.
Yan Luo could clearly feel the oppressive atmosphere around her.
Upon seeing her, Xiuyin seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief first. Then, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes as he looked at the hand Yan Jiang had on her slender waist. His aura became heavier.
“Beauty and wine… are indeed enjoyable…” Yan Jiang’s tone was leisurely as he deliberately spoke into Yan Luo’s ear.
Feeling the slight tremor in the small body in his arms, Yan Jiang chuckled softly. He stepped back, avoiding Xiuyin’s imposing aura.
“Haven’t I told Luoluo a long time ago? People outside cannot be trusted.”
“Little Pink, Little Pink! Why does this development sound wrong? This person is the original owner’s brother, right?” (ºДº*)
[Indeed, but just now, I updated the system information and discovered an incredible fact.]
“I feel like I don’t want to know this incredible fact very much.”
Before Little Pink could speak, Xiuyin moved. His speed was extremely fast, and the blade in his hand seemed like an extension of his body, instantly making Yan Jiang’s eyes show a color of wariness.
Yan Luo’s breath hitched, and a look of discomfort appeared on her face. Xiuyin’s footsteps stopped, and he spoke coldly, “Let go.”
[Yan Jiang’s affection for the original owner is generally love, but it’s not the sibling kind of love, but rather between a man and a woman.]
Little Pink’s voice also rang in Yan Luo’s ear. As she expected, it wouldn’t be something good.
“The first dimension is already this thrilling… Can’t your Dimensional Administrative Bureau do a better job? Can’t we have some happy adventures together?!”
The answer is clearly no.
“Yan Jiang… Yan Jiang! What do you mean by this?!” A sharp voice rang out at this moment.
