Frost Moon sat in the bathtub and rubbed the water across her skin.
Unlike other places, there is hot water here, and the whole house is filled with soft warmth.
The air is filled with mist and the fragrance of flowers. Compared to the cold and snowy weather outside, it is indeed a rare and wonderful place.
She remembered Dominic's attitude just now, and gradually stopped splashing water, her brows furrowed.
Everyone knows that Dominic and Ren Xiu are mortal enemies. Today, when she met Dominic for the first time, she wanted to lower her guard by appearing obedient, but she never expected that the other party would hold her in his arms.
Recalling those passionate eyes, her expression became more solemn.
Even though it was just an act, why should a demon king suppress himself and do something unpleasant?
When she first learned from the Great Elder that the Demon King wanted to use her to exchange for her father's life, Violet thought that the other party wanted to humiliate her as much as possible to destroy the prestige of the righteous path. However, after meeting the Demon King today, she realized that everything was just her imagination. There was no hatred in Dominic's eyes, as if it was a bottomless ocean that no one could see.
Violet's thoughts were a little confused. She couldn't help but touch the silver bracelet on her right hand, and suddenly she had an absurd guess.
This bracelet was given to her by Xavier when he adopted her ten years ago.
---You are not of my kind. If you do not cover up, it will be difficult for you to survive in the human world. Wear it, and no one will be able to see your true self.
Since she entered Xuanmen, she has kept this bracelet with her. Ten years have passed, and she has never taken it off, not even when bathing or changing clothes. She is so cautious that no one should know.
But when she met that man's eyes, Violet felt a little shaken.
Could it be that she knows...
Before she could figure out the key, there was a gentle knock on the door outside the hall.
Violet subconsciously tightened her silver bracelet, lowered her shoulders into the water, put aside her troubled thoughts, and said loudly: "Come in."
As he spoke, his body under the water moved unconsciously, and the black chain hit the bathtub, making a crisp, weak sound.
To prevent her from leaving, the black chain on her ankle was never untied even when she was bathing.
Violet tried to destroy it when she came in, but with her golden elixir cultivation, she was unable to shake it at all.
Mia came in holding brand new clothes, still a little unwilling on his face. When he saw her, his mood was particularly complicated: "This is a new dress prepared by the palace. You can wear it for now. I have just asked the servants to make it specially. It will be delivered in two days at the earliest."
"Thank you very much."
Violet relaxed and suddenly felt close to this person. Unlike the Demon King and the Demon Lord, who were extremely cunning and unpredictable, Mia's likes and dislikes were all revealed on his face, and he was a very easy-going person.
Mia recalled the scene in the hall just now, and still felt uncomfortable in his heart. He lowered his head and said, "No need to thank me, I was just following orders. It's good that you can remember your kindness."
She was not tall, half a head shorter than Violet. When she lowered her head, she looked like a child. Coupled with her frank words, it was hard to dislike her.
Violet's heart softened, and she suddenly said, "You seem to like His Highness very much."
As soon as I said it, I felt a little guilty.
She came to assassinate Dominic, and she was ashamed to face Mia's loyalty. Now she wanted to take advantage of her love to get information, which was really despicable. But now her own situation was uncertain, and she could no longer care about so much.
Mia didn't know her purpose. When she pointed out his true intention, his face quickly turned red. He clutched the clothes in his hands in panic: "You...what nonsense are you talking about? How could I be so unreasonable to His Highness! "
After saying that, he seemed not to want to pay attention to her. He put down his clothes and turned to leave.
But Violet knew that if he let her go now, he would never get any news. He added, "When we left Xuanmen today, you were furious. In fact, you were not angry because they asked where the prince was, but because they called me the prince's wife. On the way back, you told me about Bifang's intentions, but when I asked you about it, you suddenly got angry because you didn't want to admit that the prince cared about me. And just now in the palace, when the prince held me in his arms, you looked disappointed, and the pain in your heart has not been eliminated until now..."
Mia's legs were rooted to the spot. As Violet spoke, his face became paler and paler. In the end, he could no longer hide anything and shouted, "Shut up!"
Violet paused and didn't say anything else.
The room was filled with mist and fog, which obscured the bright palace lanterns but revealed other people's concerns.
"Yes... You are right. I do like Your Highness." Mia's voice was somewhat helpless. His tone and heart were full of confusion, like the mist in front of his eyes, unable to see the road ahead clearly. "Three hundred years ago, Your Highness's cultivation reached the highest level. He sensed the call of heaven and earth, overcame the calamity and ascended to heaven. That day was filled with rosy clouds and the dazzling brilliance is still fresh in my memory."
"Your Highness should have completed his merits and become the only one to ascend to heaven in a thousand years, but Ren Xiu became jealous and was willing to sacrifice his own life to drag Your Highness down with him."
"When a cultivator is trying to overcome a tribulation, he must not rely on external forces, otherwise the heaven and earth will be angry."
Having said that, Mia couldn't help but clench his five fingers.
The explosive lightning burst, and the strong power of heaven seemed to destroy everything.
Such a horrifying scene seemed to have happened just yesterday. She was so small that she could only crawl on the ground and tremble.
"Endless thunderstorms descended from the sky, and all living beings within a thousand miles were affected. At that time, I had just transformed and was almost annihilated by the lightning. It was Your Highness who spared no effort to damage his foundation to save everyone's lives."
People say that the top of Wanren Mountain is connected to heaven and earth, and anyone who climbs up without permission is defying the laws of nature and will die without a complete body.
But Mia saw with his own eyes that there was no divine power on the top of Wanren Mountain, only bloody evil spirits.
After His Highness saved millions of lives, Wanren Mountain suddenly moved, and red blood spread from the top of the mountain to the entire sky, recondensing the dissipated thunderclouds and erupting with unprecedented blood thunder. In just a moment, His Highness was almost destroyed.
After that, Mia asked the tribesmen who had experienced the same disaster indirectly, but no one knew of the existence of the blood thunder.
It was as if their memories had been taken away from them, and she was the only one who remembered for hundreds of years.
Mia did not believe Violet, and he also knew that the matter of blood thunder was unbelievable, so he did not say the second half.
She turned her head and stared at the person in the bathtub without blinking as if she was determined: "Her Highness saved my life. Perhaps hundreds of years have passed and even she has forgotten it. But I will never forget that my life was hers at that time. I know that I am not worthy of her, and I never dare to ask for it. I can only stand by her in this way. I will go through fire and water for her, and I will not hesitate."
"You are unkind, ugly and dirty. You will not hesitate to drag others down for your own benefit. I hate you, and I hate you even more. Today, His Highness likes you very much. He did not put you in jail, but took good care of you. I understand that it must be related to your flattery in the palace. I don't know if you said those words out of necessity, and I never believed it. If I find out that you are plotting something wrong, I will kill you with all my might."
"You can tell His Highness about today's threat and my feelings, or use dirty tricks to sow discord and drive me away. But this is the demon realm, my homeland. I will always be able to catch you if I wander around."
Mia's eyes were firm and determined. No one would doubt her determination when they looked into her eyes.
Faced with such a sincere and determined person, Violet felt a little ashamed. She didn't dare to look at her and lowered her head to promise: "I won't."
Her original intention was to help Mia hide his thoughts.
Little did Mia know that she was expressing her loyalty when he heard her words.
"You have a face that won't lie. You usually keep to yourself, so once you open your mouth, it's hard for people to doubt you."
"I believe it." Mia suddenly smiled, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you." Then he turned and left.
Violet leaned against the bathtub, her eyes fixed on the tightly closed door, and she couldn't help but arch her eyebrows.
Very lovely person.
It’s a pity that I trusted the wrong person.
*
Mia seemed to have a high status in the palace and could not take care of her all the time.
After Violet changed her clothes, a palace maid named Lily led her in.
"The lady's palace is over here. If you need anything, you can always call me to purchase it."
Violet followed Lily forward, not knowing whether it was her illusion, but she felt that the further she walked, the more remote it became. When they finally stopped, they were almost at the edge of the palace. Looking out the window, they could even see the high palace walls.
What is this nook and cranny?
Violet didn't even sit down, and asked hurriedly: "Why is it so remote? Is your palace also nearby?"
Lily shook her head: "Lord Jiao just told me where to live. He said that His Highness likes quietness and doesn't like to be disturbed by others. His Highness's palace is a little far away, but it is quite easy to remember. Just go straight ahead along the opposite road and pass through the courtyard garden and you will find it."
Frost Moon: ...
That’s right, in Mia’s eyes, she is a vixen who is trying hard to seduce His Highness.
Although she did have ill intentions, she really had no interest in Your Highness.
I'm afraid it's not easy to do it from such a long distance. I have to think of a way to get closer to Dominic.
Lily seemed to see her disappointment and couldn't help but smile: "The girl really likes His Highness and doesn't want to be apart from him for a moment."
Violet didn't expect that she had such a misunderstanding, and she didn't know what to feel for a moment.
Fortunately, before she could respond, the other end continued to talk: "But it doesn't matter that we are far apart. His Highness likes high and quiet places. There is a high tower in the center of the North Palace. Standing on the top, you can see the entire Moon City. His Highness's whereabouts are erratic and he is often not in the palace, but if he comes back, he will definitely go to the high tower to take a look. If you can't find His Highness's residence, you might as well go there to look for him."
Violet's eyes lit up: "Thank you for your advice."
Lily shook her head, looked at her face, and suddenly asked: "I heard that the girl came from Xuanmen. Is she the daughter of the current leader of Xuanmen?"
"Yeah." Violet looked at her, as if waiting for her to continue.
Lily smiled and said, "Once upon a time, the elders in my family also had some contact with the Sect Master. So, you and I are destined to be together."
Violet was a little surprised.
Human cultivators are extremely disgusted with demon cultivators and demon cultivators, classifying them as demons and claiming to be righteous. Unexpectedly, under such circumstances, my father still has friends in the demon realm.
"That's really rare."
Lily nodded, her smile deepened, the figure of Frost Moon reflected in her sparkling eyes.
"We are close friends."
