Chapter 69 Going to Be a Thief
into the night.
Gui Luo knelt on the ground. "You said there's news of the Ghost Lord's right eye in the main city of Yun'an Kingdom?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, shall we go and verify this?"
Ji Cang stared blankly at the book in his hand. He definitely had to go, but the situation in Fengyang Kingdom was dire. If he left, would something happen to Fengyang Kingdom?
Having followed him for so long, Guiluo naturally understood his inner thoughts.
"Your Majesty, let's go and come back quickly. As long as that brat doesn't run around, nothing should happen."
“Who…is worried about that stupid girl!” Ji Cang slammed the book down. “Go, go tomorrow.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a rustling sound suddenly came from the roof.
Just as the two were about to be on guard, they heard a familiar voice tentatively call out, "You tsundere, are you asleep?"
"Pah, I'm such a jerk! The lights are still on, so you're definitely not asleep yet. Never mind, I'll just leave..."
I jumped down and was about to knock on the door when it opened.
Ji Cang and Gui Luo, their faces somewhat darkened, were revealed.
Li Yang blinked her big eyes. "Oh, so you two are sleeping together?"
Ji Cang's deep voice suppressed his anger, "Who taught you to climb the roof in the middle of the night? And what brings you here!"
Li Yang pouted, "Why are you being so fierce? I want to invite you to come somewhere with me."
"Where?"
Li Yang raised her head, a sly glint in her eyes, "Go to my mother's bedchamber."
"You!" Ji Cang quickly looked away. "What kind of behavior is this? I'm not going!"
Li Yang leaned closer to his face and whispered, "Don't be afraid, Father and Mother won't be coming back tonight. Come with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of furry ears popped out of Li Yang's head, and a seductive voice whispered in his ear.
"Let me touch your ears, will you come with me? I'm afraid of the dark..."
Ji Cangzhen slowly turned his head, while Gui Luo, standing behind him, turned his face away in disgust.
Well, His Majesty is beyond saving.
"Your Majesty, you should go with her. You've already touched her ears."
Ji Cang turned around and glared at him with an unnatural expression, but before he knew it, Li Yang grabbed his arm and pulled him outside.
"Let's go, let's go! You ghost Luo, I'll treat you to dinner next time!"
The two walked along the dimly lit road, with a cold wind blowing in from the end of the road from time to time. Although there were small courtyards all around, they all seemed very desolate and eerie because there was only one master in the harem. Ji Cang lived in the most remote part of the palace, and the Empress's courtyard was the closest to the front hall in the harem, so it was also the farthest along this palace road.
Strange noises could be heard from time to time, and Li Yang unconsciously moved closer to Ji Cang.
Ji Cang glanced at her with a stern look, and he seemed to understand why the little girl always liked to walk on the roof at night.
Just thinking about how confused and scared the little girl looked made Ji Cang want to laugh. Before he knew it, something cold was stuffed into his arms.
"what?"
Li Yang withdrew her hand, her soft voice easily dissipated in the cold night, but Ji Cang still heard her words. "This is the 'Soft and Complacent Pill,' its effect is to cause the loss of all spiritual power!"
Although he was puzzled, Ji Cang's voice softened involuntarily, "Why are you giving me this?"
"To cure your illness." Li Yang looked up. The little girl's big eyes were bright in the moonlight, and the tip of her nose, which had been exposed to the wind for a long time, was a little pink, which made his heart itch.
"How to cure it?"
The Ghost Clan had disappeared for a hundred years and had long been forgotten by the world. He was never afraid of people discovering his identity because no one knew about the Ghost Clan anymore. He had seen so many pharmacists, but none of them could cure him. But this girl, who knew where the medicine came from, said she could cure him.
Although I was somewhat moved, his illness couldn't be cured by ordinary medicine; to eradicate it completely, we would have to find all of his body parts.
"What do you mean, how do you cure it?" Li Yang looked at her like she was an idiot. "Take one pill and go to sleep. You'll be fine when you wake up."
After saying that, Li Yang added, "It would take an hour to completely lose all spiritual power."
Seeing Ji Cang's still confused expression, Li Yang kindly added a few more words, "You idiot, does your body get damaged after your spiritual power goes berserk? Eating this will make you lose all your spiritual power. You'll be fine after a good night's sleep!"
Ji Cang held the jade bottle, which had become warm and smooth, and his temples throbbed violently. "Couldn't you have given me a pill to suppress spiritual power? This medicine is too strong."
Li Yang slapped her forehead, "You're right, I'll refine it for you next time. You haven't learned that yet."
"You refined it yourself?" Ji Cang's voice rose several octaves, swaying precariously on the deserted road.
“Hmm,” Li Yang said with an expression that said, “Isn’t this obvious?” “I usually like to learn the most powerful techniques first. The one you mentioned that suppresses spiritual power isn’t very effective, so I haven’t learned it yet. I’ll just make do with it for now.”
Ji Cang looked at the small jade bottle in his palm. This was the first time he had received something specially prepared for him without giving anything in return.
"Li Yang, I need to go to Yun'an. I'm still looking for the Void Cat. I'll let you know as soon as I have any clues."
Li Yang didn't stop walking. "Go ahead, no one's stopping you."
Ji Cang wanted to say something more, but since they had already arrived at the Empress's palace, he could only suppress his thoughts for the time being.
As soon as the door opened, Li Yang crouched down and leaned against the corner like a little mouse, her movements so practiced it seemed she had done it hundreds of times before.
When she was in the orphanage, she often didn't have enough to eat. Every night, she would sneak into the kitchen like a little mouse to steal food. Although the way to the kitchen was long, there were streetlights along the way, but there were none in this harem.
After all, no one else would sneak into someone else's yard at night except her.
Ji Cang scanned the courtyard with his divine sense and found that there was no one there.
"Silly girl, why did you sneak off like this?"
"Shh!!!" Li Yang waved to him, then gently pushed open the door to the room.
Li Yang quickly used her nose to search the room. Her mother had been poisoned for quite some time, so the source of the poison must be in the place where her mother usually stayed.
I just don't know what it will be.
With a whoosh, the room lights up.
Li Yang turned around and saw the culprit lighting candles. Ji Cang looked blank and said, "Weren't you looking for something? How can you look without light? Besides, there's no one here."
"I'm looking for...!" Li Yang was about to get angry, but she immediately calmed down when she heard his last sentence.
"Huh? Nobody's here?" Li Yang smiled awkwardly, turned around and tried to escape this embarrassing scene, but when she looked up she saw a pot of orchids bathed in moonlight.
Her intuition told her that this orchid was definitely the culprit!
Li Yang picked up the flowerpot. The flowerpot wasn't heavy, but it felt incredibly cold to the touch. Her eyes turned cold, and she walked out with the orchid in her arms.
"Ji Cang, let's go."
Ji Cang followed behind her. As someone who had survived through hardship, he naturally sensed what had happened and took the flowerpot from her.
"Let me help you investigate."
Li Yang looked up and after a long while, said seriously, "Thank you."
……
She was awakened early the next morning by a series of soft knocks on the door.
"Who! Ah!!"
Li Yang covered her head, unwilling to open her eyes. She kicked something soft and reached out, but something else was in her way.
Li Yang was furious. She sat up abruptly with her beggar-like hair, and before even opening her eyes, she shouted, "Who's making noise so early in the morning—hey? Mother?"
Li Yang focused her gaze and swept it across the room.
Her father, her mother, that man called her uncle, and an old man!?
Oh, that old man looks a lot like my mother; he might be my maternal grandfather.
Good morning, Yangyang.
Roujie smiled at her, revealing eight teeth, and said, "Good morning, little niece."
You big idiot!
