HCB Chapter 104 One more kiss, don't forget!
Chapter 104 One more kiss, don't forget!
He wasn't the type to sit idly by and wait for his fate.
If you ask him to do nothing but force him to accept the fact that he cannot be with Rong'er, I'm afraid he cannot do it.
He wants to help Rong'er find her master.
The sooner the better!
Jun Ce's gaze was firm, his eyes like cold stars.
The flame mark on Yan Feng's forehead gradually faded, and his dark red hair and robes also showed signs of fading.
He pressed down on Zhai Rongyu's shoulders and said, "Ayu, remember what I told you!"
"Remember your master's instructions until you find him!"
He only let go of her hand when she nodded.
The moonlight gradually softened, its bright radiance hidden in the clouds and mist.
Yan Feng closed his eyes, the flame mark disappeared completely, and his red hair turned silver-white.
When he opened his eyes again, he was Xue Qingchuan, the master of Medicine King Valley.
Dressed in a white robe, he looked at Zhai Rong and He Junce with some confusion.
"Why am I here?"
Zhai Rong and He Junce exchanged a glance, gave a dry laugh, and said, "Does Valley Master Xue not know that she can sleepwalk?"
Sleepwalking?
A look of confusion crossed Xue Qingchuan's pale eyes.
He lowered his head, looked at his body with some confusion, but his eyes lit up in an instant.
"My...my cold ailment...is cured?!"
He wasn't wearing a white fox fur coat, yet he didn't feel cold at all!
Zhai Rong stepped forward and took his pulse, concentrating on examining him for a moment before raising her head and flashing a faint smile.
"The Snow Valley Herbal Bath is now complete, and you will no longer need to suffer from cold-related ailments."
Xue Qingchuan's fingers trembled slightly with excitement, his breathing quickened, and a joyful light shone in his pale eyes.
"Miss Zhai, you have done me a great favor!" he said gratefully.
"I'll have someone bring you the mermaid's tears right away!"
……
Jun Ce returned to the courtyard and immediately summoned Zhiying.
Seeing his pale face, Zhiying made a move to help him up, but Jun Ce waved his hand and said, "Order the Moon Shadow Guards to find me a blind old Taoist priest as quickly as possible."
Looking for someone? Or perhaps a Taoist priest?
The lone figure seemed somewhat confused.
If Your Majesty wants to use a Taoist priest, wouldn't it be better to find Miss Zhai?
Why bother looking for a blind old Taoist priest?
He glanced at Jun Ce's expression but didn't dare to ask a question.
Jun Ce paused, then added solemnly, "This matter takes precedence over everything else."
"Remember, at all costs! And quickly!"
"Yes!"
The lone figure was somewhat surprised.
Who is so important?
He immediately went down to relay the order.
Jun Ce clenched one fist behind his back and touched the jade pendant at his waist with the other. His deep, pool-like eyes were fixed on the boundless darkness of the night, and his expression was restrained and controlled.
Before finding the person...
He wanted to stay away from Rong'er.
……
With Elder Xing's approval, Zhai Rong plucked a petal of the Purple Gold Glazed Grass and combined it with the Mermaid's Tears.
The sound rose and the incantation fell.
The blue beads instantly transformed into a five-colored luster, shimmering with a dreamlike, dazzling brilliance.
Zhai Rongyu put it into the cloth bag at her waist.
Suddenly, she became concerned about Jun Ce's injuries.
"I don't know how he is doing."
Thinking this, she turned and walked towards Jun Ce's courtyard.
*
Prince's Mansion.
Jun Yinghuai stood in the room, listening to the news brought back by the assassin, his sinister gaze filled with coldness.
"Your Highness!"
"The Taoist temple is surrounded by a very strong barrier; our subordinates have tried various methods but still cannot get in!"
"We also encountered the Regent."
Uncle Wang?
When did he become so close to Zhai Rongyu?
Jun Yinghuai narrowed his eyes.
The assassin continued, "That Miss Zhai is quite capable; even all of us combined are no match for her!"
Thinking of Zhai Rongyu's "torture," he shrank back in fear.
Jun Yinghuai's face darkened.
Zhai Rongyu was indeed not easy to deal with.
She trapped Mu Ling within the barrier of Yunshan Mountain, helping Mu Ling hide from her. It seems she's determined to oppose her.
Since he can't get in, he has to find a way to get Mu Ling out on her own.
He pursed his lips and pondered for a long time.
The thought that even after being reborn, Zhai Muling would still resist him so much made Jun Yinghuai feel as if he were being cut by a knife.
Why won't she give herself a chance?
His noble face suddenly took on a sickly, manic look.
Do not……
He was determined to have her!
It seems we have no choice but to take a risky approach.
His cold gaze fell on the assassin, who was somewhat bewildered and suddenly had a bad feeling.
Before he could react.
Jun Yinghuai's eyes suddenly hardened. He drew the short knife from the assassin's waist and stabbed it fiercely into his own abdomen. He then pulled it out, and blood gushed out, splattering all over the ground.
The assassin was terrified and said in a panic:
"Your Highness...you...you are..."
Jun Yinghuai threw the dagger in front of the assassin, clutched his bleeding abdomen, a cruel smile creeping across his pale face, and said in a chilling voice, "Take this and sneak into the Minister's residence."
"I want to capture the assassin."
……
The scent of herbs mingled with the fragrance of flowers, filling the courtyard at night.
Zhai Rongyu walked into the courtyard and saw Jun Ce sitting alone by the stone table, his head propped up with one hand, his eyes closed, seemingly lost in thought or fast asleep.
There were already several empty wine jars in front of them.
She was somewhat surprised.
The book says that the regent was a man of great self-control, working early and retiring late.
Since becoming regent, he has abstained from alcohol.
How come you're drinking alcohol now?
And you drank so much.
She walked over, leaned against the stone table, and seeing that Jun Ce did not react, she boldly moved closer and stared intently at his sleeping face.
[I'm very introverted; I don't dare to kiss a handsome guy directly.]
He tilted his head, his long eyelashes were tightly closed, and a few strands of hair fell from his forehead to cover his eyes. A faint blush covered his well-defined face, making him look more gentle than his usual unapproachable demeanor.
He just had a furrowed brow, as if he was thinking about something bad.
Zhai Rong couldn't help but reach out, wanting to smooth away the worry between his brows, but her hand was suddenly grabbed.
Jun Ce opened his eyes and looked at her, momentarily thinking he was dreaming.
The world has lost its color.
And that one radiant light belonged to her.
He gazed at her with a greedy look, his eyes filled with starlight.
I can no longer get this close to her.
He was somewhat reluctant to wake up.
Zhai Rongyu had never seen him like this before, and was momentarily stunned. Her heartstrings were suddenly plucked, and then began to pound.
Although she had never been in a relationship, she wasn't stupid.
I know that my feelings for him these days are attraction.
She didn't want to lie to herself.
But I don't want to hurt him either.
If I were to truly be with him, misfortune would befall me, and I fear I would only bring trouble upon him.
"Rong'er, I kissed you, but I don't remember it."
Jun Ce murmured.
Zhai Rongyu's heart softened.
Meeting his gaze felt like being struck by a fine electric current.
Time seemed to stretch out for an eternity, so long that the two of them appeared frozen in time.
A kiss shouldn't be a problem, right?
she thought.
They knew it was self-deception.
But the yearning in her heart grew stronger and stronger, until it consumed her reason.
I suddenly feel like rebelling.
She leaned over the table, nuzzling closer to Jun Ce until his breath brushed against the fine hairs on her face.
Her delicate, small nose touched his, and Zhai Rong softened her voice like a kitten, saying softly:
"Then let's kiss again, and don't forget."
She closed her eyes and gently pressed her lips to his.
