Three days passed quickly. That day she met Dominic for the first time, and then she called her to take a bath. Violet thought Dominic would come to see her later, so she lit some incense and stayed quietly in the room.
She was still wavering, wondering whether she should start early and prepare the tea mixed with bone fragrance in advance. Unexpectedly, the door outside the hall was not opened until the next morning.
What a Dominic, she kept saying that she belonged to him but she didn't even look at him.
Frost Chanyue was angry and tried to find her several times, but failed every time. After catching Mia and asking him indirectly, he found out that Dominic was taken away by the Demon King on the day they first met and has not returned since then.
Apart from her mother, this was the first time that Violet cared so much about others, and was humble, respectful and well-behaved, but in the end, this was the result.
It's hard not to be mad.
Fortunately, things took a turn for the better on the fourth day.
At night, the snow is vast and the Moon City is extremely cold. The cold wind, frost and snow can last from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
Violet put on a thick coat, a warm cotton hat, and holding the sleeve warmer given to her by Mia in her hand, she walked slowly towards Dominic's residence.
She hadn't seen Dominic for three days, and she had lost hope. She wrapped herself tightly and thought it was a walk before bed. Unexpectedly, when she was walking through the courtyard garden, she saw a palace maid hurriedly walking by with a cup of warm tea in her hand.
Violet had seen her before. Every morning and evening, she would clean the dust near Dominic's residence. As usual, she should rest now.
"Wait." Because I didn't know his name, I had to reach out to stop him.
The maid didn't expect to be stopped. She stopped and looked at the tea. She breathed a sigh of relief and bowed her head quickly: "My servant greets you, young lady."
Human cultivators are not welcome in the demon realm, but Violet is nominally the emperor's wife, and even though there has never been a wedding, no one dares to disrespect her.
"Where should this tea be taken?"
"This..." The maid hesitated, but remembering the man's identity, she did not hide it. "My lady, His Highness ordered me to send him to the tower."
"She's back?" Violet was a little surprised.
The maid nodded: "We will arrive at the palace around midnight."
This is an unexpected gain.
Violet thought for a moment, then stepped forward to take the warm tea, "You go and have a rest, I'll take the tea to you."
"Can..."
"Don't worry. If anyone blames me, I will take the responsibility for you."
"...yes."
The maid looked at her worriedly and left as she said.
Violet turned and walked towards the tallest tower in the palace.
On the way, she took out the bone incense given to her by the Great Elder, weighed the pros and cons for a long time, and finally gave up on poisoning.
More haste, less speed. She didn't think that Dominic was completely defenseless against her. If she took action at this moment, she would most likely be exposed. The most important thing at the moment was to gain trust.
Violet put away the bottle, her eyes dimmed. She never expected that one day she would become a dirty and despicable person.
The tower is located in the center of the palace, at a very high altitude. Although she had heard about it from Lily a few days ago, she had never entered it.
The tower has eight sides, and is slender. It is built of precious wood and metal. Excluding the underground, it has twelve floors. Each floor has a huge door made of fine stone on the southeast, northwest, and northeast sides, with a ghost face on it. The corners are engraved with profound runes, which occasionally emit a faint glow with the moonlight. The base is luxurious and wide, and four statues of Dharma stand around the pure white jade steps. They look a bit strange, and you can vaguely recognize the characteristics of a phoenix and a dragon.
Standing in front of this behemoth, one can feel the solemn and ferocious aura, as well as the lingering...stench of blood.
Frost Moon stepped onto the platform and pushed open the stone door. The ferocious blood energy became even heavier, and one could even faintly hear the wailing of an evil spirit.
She was startled and caught a glimpse of a stone door leading to the underground palace at the corner of the stairs.
All the evil spirits are hidden there.
This place is unknown, there are too many murders.
She didn't dare stay too long and went straight up the spiral staircase.
Lily said that His Highness likes high and quiet places. Frostcup Moon went up layer by layer, and as expected, he found Dominic at the top of the tower.
This was the twelfth floor. Unlike the first floor where the bloody evil spirits were so powerful, there was no longer any terrifying aura. But for some reason, there was another familiar thing hidden in it.
The stone doors on all four sides were wide open, and the cold wind, frost and snow rushed in, making a whistling sound.
It is indeed very high here, and looking down you can take in the entire Moon City.
The lights are dim and there are few pedestrians, but the dense white snow is tirelessly covering the entire city steadily.
Frost Violet's coat was blown into pieces, and the heat that she had gathered with great difficulty was all dispersed. She had to release her spiritual energy to resist the cold.
She saw that Dominic's throne was facing the cold wind, but she didn't move at all, and she admired her very much.
The level of Divine Transformation is so powerful that no matter how strong the wind and snow are, they cannot be frozen.
"Your Highness, your warm tea is ready."
She took the teacup and walked over, going around to the throne, only to find that Dominic had fallen asleep leaning against it.
Her eyelids were lightly closed, her red lips were slightly pursed, and she was filled with a deep sense of weariness. She didn't know how long she had slept, and she didn't even notice the snow stuck to her eyebrows.
are you tired.
Violet put down the warm tea, stared for a long time, sighed softly, brushed away the snowflakes on her eyebrows with her fingers, then took off her thick cloak and covered Dominic with it.
Because he was afraid of the cold, he didn't want others to get cold, so he covered her up tightly.
After doing all this, he stood up again and wanted to close the stone doors on all four sides.
However, no one knew what kind of magic was cast on the stone door, and it didn't move at all.
Violet sniffed, feeling the chill gradually seeping into her body, and couldn't help shivering twice.
Oh no, the cold poison is about to break out again.
She didn't care about being pretentious. She used her internal energy to keep warm while picking up the warm tea and drinking it all in one gulp.
The warmth slowly spreads throughout the body.
"I never thought that the 'silent senior sister' would secretly drink other people's tea. How reckless."
When Violet turned her head, she saw Dominic looking at her straight with smiles in her eyes.
For some reason, an unprecedented feeling of shame surged into my heart, making me feel very uncomfortable.
"Are you awake?"
"Otherwise? If a lecher touches your face and moves your body, you should wake up even if you are sleeping soundly."
"I..." Violet wanted to explain, but when she saw Dominic's interested eyes, she suddenly realized that she was deliberately making fun of her. She suddenly didn't want to say anything more, so she closed her eyes and continued to dispel the coldness in her body.
A cold fragrance approached, and the next moment a warm cloak covered her.
Violet suddenly opened her eyes, and saw the man slowly walking towards the stone door. "You can't use brute force to close the door. You have to inject spiritual power into the corners and activate the runes, just like this."
Pure power surged out, and after a while, the stone door slowly rotated and finally closed tightly.
After closing four seats, Dominic lit the heater, and the warm air soon filled the entire house.
Violet was puzzled: "Don't you want to enjoy the scenery?"
There's no need to come here just to sleep.
Dominic came closer, staring at her without blinking, and after a long while she smiled and said, "I thought you were asking knowingly to please others, but I didn't expect you were really stupid. With a shivering idler standing next to you, how can you enjoy the scenery? Are you going to let me watch you freeze to death?"
This time, Violet was completely speechless.
She always thought that her emotions were very indifferent because she had been alone for many years and her reactions to everything were indifferent.
But now I understand that it’s just that I didn’t meet the right person.
It's only been four days and I've been pissed off by the same person several times. This would have been unimaginable in the past.
It's clearly words of concern, how can you say them so harshly?
As expected, I should not have been soft-hearted when I came, I should have poured all the bone fragrance into the warm tea.
Seeing her look away indifferently, Dominic couldn't help laughing out loud, "Are you angry?" Her tone was full of anticipation.
"I dare not."
"I am really angry."
...
"Just now you kept calling me 'you, you, you', but now you suddenly call yourself 'your c0ncubine'. What else can you say but blame me?" Dominic stared at her, as if to see into her heart. "When we first met, at least you behaved very well. Why are you suddenly like this now? Could it be that...someone said something to you?"
The moon in the frosty cup paused, lowered his eyes and remained silent.
But the more she said this, the more Dominic knew she was right: "Let me guess, it was Isabelle? ... No, she has been with me all the time, so she should not have time to look for you. So... is it Mia?"
Although it was a question, the expression on his face showed no doubt.
Violet clenched her hands together and dared not say a word.
After hearing what Mia said, her impression of Dominic changed a little. She suddenly realized that the Demon King was not as tyrannical as the human cultivators said. She felt a little relieved and her attitude towards her became more casual.
But this is not a good thing. Violet must kill Dominic, not only because of the request of the Great Elder, but also for revenge.
Xavier was her adoptive father and had saved her life. Even if he hadn't taken care of her for a few years, she had to repay him.
To be careless now would be tantamount to seeking one's own death.
But to kill Dominic, you need to gain her trust first. If you want to gain her trust, you have to remove the barriers and show your sincerity.
Violet smiled bitterly in her heart, she never thought that killing people would be such a difficult thing.
"Your Highness, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look so tired. Is there anything troubling you?"
Not wanting to involve Mia too much, he had to clumsily change the subject.
Dominic was keenly aware of her mood changes and stared at her for a long time, but in the end did not pursue the matter.
She had inquired about Violet a long time ago and knew her eccentric personality in the Xuanmen. She understood in her heart that her concern and obedience at this moment were all pretended illusions.
But the warmth of a cold person is so precious, even if I know she has some ulterior motives, I can't help but want to respond. Because of this, I didn't want to reveal the things I wanted to say, but now I can say them.
"Well, yes, it's real annoyance...If you think about it, it has something to do with you as well." Dominic looked at her.
Violet couldn't stand her focused gaze, which always felt like it was peeling her off. She gathered her cloak, lowered her head and said, "That's a sin. Your Highness, why don't you tell me so that I can help share some of the burden."
"You want to share my burden?" Dominic was surprised. She didn't know what she was thinking. She curled her lips with interest: "Yes, you can share it. After all, it's all Zhengdao's fault. It's okay for me to vent my anger on you."
"You know, my tower is actually a dungeon."
Violet was stunned. Although she didn't understand why the topic turned here, she had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Many people are imprisoned here, from ancient immortal cultivation families to respected elders and masters. Without exception, they all colluded with other cultivators and betrayed me in the end. To prevent someone from informing me, generally only trusted people are allowed to enter. Previously, a cultivator trespassed without knowing the consequences, and I chopped off his hands and feet and imprisoned him in the underground palace at the bottom."
Having said that, she reached out and touched Violet's face. Her deep eyes looked extremely beautiful.
"Now, I have been betrayed again, but I happened to catch a righteous monk who broke into the tower and vowed to share my worries. What do you think I should do?"
