Phoenix leans against the sky

  “……”

  Tai Shi stared at him.

  Hard work.

  It's really hard work, having to drink, watch fire, choose angles to show off one's face, and even exercise arm strength by playing a game of "hanging man".

  Delighted.

  Indeed a great joy, watching from the other shore as fire burns, being hung upside down in the fire scene, being threatened and intimidated, being coerced into making false confessions.

  Have you ever seen someone being hung upside down in a fire scene, carelessly, half-jokingly and half-threateningly proposing?

  He must have a dictionary that specifically removes words like "shameless" and "despicable".

  "Ka-chunk!" The last beam collapsed, and half of the roof caved in, just three feet behind Rong Chu. Rong Chu didn't even glance back, his face leaned forward, a hint of a smile on his lips as he stared at Tai Shi Lan, "So, you're going to fight this with your life?"

  "Success."

  He had barely finished speaking when Tai Shi Lan responded, her answer so straightforward that Rong Chu was taken aback.

  He raised his eyebrows and smiled, his hand closed, and Tai Shi Lan's body suddenly became light, already flying out of the burning rooftop with him.

  People outside the fire scene saw that the fire was too big and had already given up on rescuing anyone, when suddenly they saw two people flying over the dark night sky.

  Everyone looked up, but only saw a silver light like a meteor, crossing the flames that were dancing in the fire scene, and when it fell to the ground, it was already a majestic figure with fluttering clothes and an extraordinary spirit.

  Of course, with a dirty and disheveled reference object like Tai Shi Lan by their side, anyone will appear more radiant and composed.

  Yi Shi Zhu's face changed again, she calculated that tonight seemed to be a continuous storm and it was not suitable for action, but in fact, it was the best opportunity. The more impossible the situation, the more unexpected the actions would be, only she never thought that Jin Guo Gong, who had already left the mansion, would come back.

  Tai Shi gave Yi Shijie a cold glance, which made her shiver with fear.

  "Unmarried wife." Rong Chu whispered in her ear, "This mansion doesn't seem so quiet, do we need to go live in the husband's separate residence?"

  Tai Shi Lan glanced at him even more indifferently, "Who are you?"

  "Are you going to welch on the debt?" Chong Chu was slightly taken aback.

  "I never welch on a deal." Tai Shi Lan continued walking forward, "But I promised to be your fiancée, does that mean I acknowledge you as my fiancé?"

  "Doesn't represent?" Chu's eyebrows slightly raised.

  "Not representative." Tai Shi Lan nodded.

  "Oh?" Rong Chu's expression gradually became more interesting, "What kind of man is it that you admire?"

  Tai Shi Lan noticed that he never addressed himself as Miss Tai, this man, did he recognize her or not?

  "I like... " Tai Shi Lan narrowed his eyes, thinking of his beloved pet chicken, and for a rare moment, his expression softened, "Snow-white feathers..."

  A group of guards from the Duke's mansion rushed over to respond, and took a glance at the Duke's long hair as black as satin...

  "When running fast, a faint silver-blue light is emitted, like sunlight reflecting off ice and snow..."

  A cluster of guardian spirits fluttered in the air, their black hair fluttering, with a dark color that seemed to reflect a faint blue hue under the moonlight... Hmm, it was still a bit far from the pale silver-blue, and the sunlight reflected off the ice and snow was still some distance away...

  "Lion nose wide mouth, sharp teeth..."

  The guards glanced at their master, whose nose was slightly upturned, seemingly more delicate than a lion's? His lips were lightly red, but seemed not wide enough. Teeth... uh, why did the master press his mouth so tightly shut?

  Strong limbs, bouncing with force, kick back legs and run wildly...

  The guards glanced at their master, sturdy limbs... can be considered slender too? The master's face is long and elegant, but absolutely without any feminine air, exactly the most exquisite and eye-catching physique. Bouncy and powerful, agility can also be considered bouncy? One kick on the hind leg... hind leg...

  A silly little bodyguard, subconsciously reached out to touch Rong Chu's leg...

  "With a whoosh", Rong Chu suddenly wrapped herself in her cloak, and the flying corner of the cloak sent that careless little guard tumbling far away...

  The guards all let out a simultaneous "tsk" sound, and looked at Rong Chu with somewhat sympathetic eyes.

  No wonder the master is furious, we are indeed a bit far apart...

  Speaking of which, this Wei girl's hobby is really unique.

  Haha, really unique.

  Tai Shi Lan didn't care about Rong Chu's expression, turned around and looked at the already burned down hut, suddenly decided, not leaving.

  As a seasoned player of bloody violent games like "God of War 3" and "Assassin's Creed", Tai Shi Lan always thought that the most frustrating thing in modern times was being confined to an institute, only able to simulate thrilling life through online virtual games. Now that she had finally crossed over, but temporarily had nowhere to go, she might as well stay in this precarious environment for a while, and take it as an opportunity to experience the hardships of a strange world, increase her experience points and skill levels, so that she could level up and hunt monsters and kill BOSSes later.

  More importantly, she has already entered Rong Chu's line of sight. Ironically, she feels that getting close to Rong Chu is the most dangerous thing in the world. Compared to being in Rong Chu's private residence, staying at the Yi family might be freer.

  "Shi Lan..." Tonight, the busy Tai brothers rushed over again. Tai Bo's eyes looked at her with suspicion and uncertainty, "Are you okay?"

  "It's nothing." Tai Shi Lan crossed his arms, gazing at the already burnt-out hut. It was only then that those servants began to actively put out the fire, while in the distance, by the rear courtyard gate, a group of people stood vaguely in the darkness, among them, the figure of Yi Shi Zhu could be discerned.

  "I have nowhere to live." She raised an eyebrow in the direction of Wei Shi Zhu, with a profound meaning, and indeed got a terrified gaze and restless ** from him.

  "Have you arranged a place to stay?" She seemed to ask, but actually confirmed, pointing to Nai Shi Zhu, "Just live at my sister's place, anyway, my brother-in-law sleeps in the front house, and I'll sleep with my sister in her old residence, and move back when the An Tang is repaired."

  "Alright." Tai Bai nodded his head, this arrangement was reasonable and he had no reason to refuse, only...

  He looked at Tai Shi Lan with suspicion again.

  The daughter's temperament... seems to have changed a lot suddenly, previously there was no such decisiveness, and even with a hint of haughtiness, the gaze when looking at people, like the high and distant ice mountain, the moon's light and shadow and the cold air, shooting down from afar.

  Taking a closer look at Tai Shi Lan's appearance, he suddenly felt dizzy. His daughter had returned from the palace, and as a member of the royal family, her status was different. When she came back, he led his entire family to kneel behind a curtain to greet her, and then sent her directly to the already-built nunnery in the backyard. The nunnery was a place for quiet cultivation, and no one could summon him or enter at will. So, adding up the two years his daughter had been in the palace, he hadn't seen her for almost three years.

  At this time, looking at Tai Shi Lan, his appearance is roughly okay, but apart from that, everything else seems to be wrong.

  Perhaps... the palace is the darkest and most treacherous place. After staying in such a place for two years, anyone would be transformed beyond recognition.

  Du Wei suspected that Hui was suspicious, but even if he had ten thousand guts, he would not have thought that his daughter had actually changed people openly and honestly.

  The maid hastily went to inform Yu Shi Zhu that she would have a new roommate. A faint scream came from the Moon Cave Gate, and then Yu Shi Zhu rushed over without caring about anything, throwing herself in front of Yu Bai, "Father, don't!"

  Bai's hand grasped hers, his expression warm, "Zhu'er, what's wrong?"

  Tai Shi Lan gazed coldly at - Lord Tai's attitude towards his two daughters was truly worlds apart, just look at this tone, gentle to the point of dripping with water.

  "I don't want to..." Yu Shizhu calmed down a bit, his eyes rolling around looking for an excuse to refuse Ta Shi Lan's cohabitation, but before he could think of a reason, Ta Shi Lan had already taken a step forward.

  "Unwilling to live with me?"

  Wei Shilan stared at her, and it seemed that the person in front of her was still the same sister who had always been bullied and calculated by her without fighting back. But suddenly everything changed. The person now was cold, concise, direct, and straightforward. Every sentence she spoke was like a hammer striking an anvil, making people's hearts tremble with a loud clang, sparks flying everywhere.

  "I..."

  "Because you will kill me?"

  "You..." Tong Shizhu started stuttering with his quick and clever words.

  "Or I'll kill you?"

  "Ah......" Yu Shizhu wanted to say it, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, how could he utter these words?

  "There's no need for further discussion." Tai Shi Lan waved his hand, ending this conversation.

  The atmosphere was quiet, and everyone's eyes staring at Tai Shi Lan were eerie.

  Tashi Lanman doesn't care, she won't try hard to pretend to be someone else, she is who she is, whether you accept it or not.

  "I'm sleepy, I want to sleep." She stretched and walked towards the back house. As she passed by Rong Chu's side, who was still smiling at her, she said lightly, "Oh, one more thing, my favorite person sleeps under my bed and warms my feet in the middle of the night - do you want to learn?"

  Chu: "......"

  The noble Duke finally left, and before he did, he smiled ambiguously at Tai Shi Lan, pointing to his own lips with a mouth shape that said "Wait for me to warm up..." which caused the Misses of the Yi family who were sneaking a peek from behind the door to gasp in shock. Tai Shi Lan glanced at those lips that could topple cities and thought they weren't even as good-looking as a hen's beak.

  Zongchu walked away very carefree and at ease - if I'm not mistaken, we'll meet again soon.

  Tai Shi Lanmu saw him off, only to notice that she had been holding onto a piece of cloth from Rong Chu's clothes all along. She was about to throw it away when her hand suddenly stopped, and she brought the corner of the fabric back in front of her eyes for another look.

  On the hem, there is a faint dark gold pattern, which looks familiar, but the pattern is incomplete and cannot be determined what it is.

  Tai Shi Lan gazed at Rong Chu's back, his eyes slightly narrowed, with a hint of coldness.

  She casually threw away the cloth strip.

  She walked towards Tui Shi Zhu.

  The expression is also very carefree and at ease.

  She began a brief cohabitation with Cui Shi-zhu in a carefree and relaxed manner.

  ...and in the demon king's awakening career of the Yu family...
