”Alright, keep an eye on them. Tell me where they are at any time.”

The man's lips were perfect as he coldly muttered. He looked at the portrait in his hand with a mocking smile, seeming to be deep in thought.

If one looked carefully, one would see a woman with plum blossoms on her forehead calmly standing in the middle of the painting. According to Leng Ming's intelligence, all the girls had been captured by them and brought to the Demon Palace on the Tai Yin Mountain.

Suddenly, he stared intently at the plum blossom on the girl's forehead and his gaze abruptly changed. He recalled the girl he met at Wu Ji's Blacksmith Shop. She had the same appearance back then. Was there a hidden secret between the two?

After extinguishing the candle, he immediately flew towards the capital. He wanted to investigate, to find out, if the woman was the person they were looking for, it was not easy to find someone he liked and found, he could not be captured by the witch church, and the days after that would be boring again.

Three days later, Bai Zhixi finally exited the study. His first thought was to quickly take a hot bath and stay in the study room for three consecutive days. Besides eating and reading every day, it was already filled with the stench.

He leisurely walked to the door of his room, only to discover that there was no one inside. Where had he run off to in the middle of the day?

He strolled among the Merlin, looking for the exit. She remembered that this was where the exit was when she first came here. Now, however, a red plum tree was swaying in the wind. It did not seem to have any traces of its presence.

It was noon, and when he woke up, he had not seen Jun Mohan come back.

Suddenly, Bai Zhixi's stomach let out a rumbling sound, it was not suitable for him to do so as he stirred up his stomach. Bai Zhixi's face was bitter, he could not be thinking of starving himself to death here, so he wanted to avenge beating him up a few days ago right?

Forget it, filling the stomach was more important right now. She did not believe that she would not be able to find any food in such a large courtyard.

When he found the fifth room, his efforts paid off. He finally found some food, but it was still raw. He had to make it himself.

However, this was not a problem for her. She had climbed and fought by herself for so many years, and if she could not even cook for such a small matter, then she would die of hunger.

Half an hour later, the fragrance of food wafted out from the Plum Blossom Forest, tempting one's appetite.

Bai Zhixi sat by the wooden table, looking at the three dishes and one soup on the table, he revealed a satisfied smile. He laid on the table and waited for Jun Mohan to come back to eat. Firstly, she wanted to apologize to him and thank him for not telling anyone else about her secret. Secondly, he wanted to give her these books so that she would understand the affairs of the world.

The sky gradually darkened, and the entire night sky was shrouded in darkness. The surroundings were also pitch-black. A cold wind blew past, giving off a strange feeling. Bai Zhixi lit up all the candles in the house and all the lanterns in the yard one by one, then heated up the cold food once more.

He was cursing Jun Mohan in his heart and fell asleep while lying on the table.

When Jun Mohan entered the door, seeing such a scene, a peculiar feeling flashed through his heart. He gently closed the door, afraid that he would wake up the person who was sleeping soundly.

When she didn't want to close the door, she felt a cold wind enter through the crack of the door, flowing through Bai Zhixi's body. It was so cold that she quickly stood up, only to discover that Jun Mohan was staring straight at her, his face pale white. He kept looking up and down the room, but he didn't see any injuries at all!

In that instant, Jun Mohan took a step forward and tightly hugged her. He stood there quietly without saying a word, which made Bai Zhixi even more confused.

”You … ”What's wrong?”

He could clearly feel that the man holding her was currently trembling. His original intentions of pushing her away had been dispelled. He could only allow himself to be held.

”Alright, hurry up and come to eat! Otherwise, I'm going to heat it up again. This is the first time I'm cooking for someone else, you're so lucky. ”

In the end, she could not bear such silence, even though she was already accustomed to the fact that she was holding someone like herself, and no longer resented it. But now, she was really hungry. If she didn't eat anything, she could faint at any moment.

Pulling Jun Mohan along to sit on the chair, they prepared to add more tableware for him. Suddenly, the bright red blood on the bowl stung her eyes, she turned to look at Jun Mohan's pale white hair, which was drenched in sweat, and perspiration the size of beans flowing down her ears, and immediately looked at his back.

Unexpectedly, she was pulled back by Jun Mohan and fell into his embrace.

”Woman, remember what you said. In the future, you must cook for me alone.”

Bai Zhixi, who was in Jun Mohan's embrace, suddenly heard this sentence and could not help but roll his eyes. It was not like he was in the maidservant.

After Jun Mohan finished saying that sentence, she spat out a mouthful of blood and gracefully fainted on Bai Zhixi's body.

With great effort, Bai Zhixi finally dragged Jun Mohan onto the bed, sweating profusely.

After inspecting for a long time, a black imprint finally appeared on his back, but this was still not the reason why he was unconscious. Deep within the imprint, a dart was firmly inserted into his back, watching his lips turn as black as ink and his body boil.

Now, he had to hurry and take out the dart, so that he could dissipate the heat from his body. He would not allow the poison to enter his dirty spleen. Only then would he be able to be saved.
