“How about I check up on her again in the dead of night?”
Lin Qiye made up his mind.
In the evening, the breeze entered the house.
Lin Qiye used Lightning Warp to arrive at Zhu Yuheng’s room.
Zhu Yuheng was studying when shenoticed the strange sound.
She almost screamed, but Lin Qiye hurriedly covered Zhu Yuheng’s mouth.
Zhu Yuheng widened her eyes and grabbed Lin Qiye’s wrists with both hands. She was so nervous that her heart was beating wildly.
“Uhh…”
“Don’t disturb the others. I don’t mean any harm.”
Lin Qiye covered her face for a while and slowly put down his hand.
Zhu Yuheng’s face and ears were red. She looked at Lin Qiye with fear.
“Shaoshang… You scared me to death by coming in like this.”
“I had no choice. There are some things I can’t let them know.”
Some things he can’t let them know?
What was it?
Was it about her inner wear?
Zhu Yuheng thought about how Lin Qiye knew her size like the back of his hand, and her face was so red that steam seemed to evaporate.
Her heart became a mess.
“I… I… can’t we talk during the day? I keep feeling that something is wrong at night.”
As they spoke, Zhu Yuheng pulled on her pajamas.
She wanted to cover her long legs and arms.
Lin Qiye looked at Zhu Yuheng. Although the scene was beautiful, his mind was filled with self-saving thoughts. Therefore, he only followed a man’s instinct and admired her for a few seconds.
“I came for two things. First, I have a gift for you.”
Lin Qiye took out the Yin Yang Harmony Jade Pendant.
The pendant was the Empress’ treasure.
It was one of the rewards Lin Qiye received when he solved the crisis of the human race.
The pendant was divided into two pieces, allowing its wearer to share the damage.
As long as one person was still alive, the other would not die.
Zhu Yuheng hadn’t awakened yet, and she couldn’t protect herself.
Therefore, this was the best way to protect her.
One had to know that Lin Qiye had a terrifying SSS-Grade defense like the Thunder God Aspect.
It could fully block an SSS-Grade powerhouse’s attack on Zhu Yuheng.
Of course, with Zhu Yuheng by his side, no one could attack her.
However, being more cautious was always a good thing.
Hence, Lin Qiye hung one of the jade pendants around Zhu Yuheng’s neck.
The jade pendant gently flicked Zhu Yuheng’s chest and slid down, disappearing.
Zhu Yuheng: “…”
Lin Qiye: “…”
Zhu Yuheng’s face turned red from the incident with the jade pendant.
She raised her hand and wanted to take the jade pendant out, but she felt embarrassed.
She could only hold her chest.
Lin Qiye smiled awkwardly.
“Well… Take good care of the jade pendant. Don’t take it off no matter what. It can protect your life. Wear it well. As long as I don’t die, no one can hurt you. Understand?”
“Huh?”
Upon hearing that the jade pendant was so powerful, Zhu Yuheng quickly took it off and stuffed it back into Lin Qiye’s hands.
“No, this is too precious. I can’t take it. It’s already a great kindness for you to take care of me. I…”
Lin Qiye held the jade pendant. The cold feeling disappeared and was replaced by a different kind of warmth as if it was her body temperature.
There was no doubt about it. The jade pendant had already taken effect when Zhu Yuheng wore it. Moreover, since the jade pendant was originally the Empress’s possession, it seemed more compatible when she wore it.
Lin Qiye smiled and put the jade pendant back on for her.
“This thing has already taken effect just now. It’s useless even if you return it to me. Wear it. It suits your fair skin and looks beautiful…”
Hearing Lin Qiye’s strange praise, Zhu Yuheng’s face flushed red, and her phoenix-like eyes were as gentle as water.
“Thank you. I don’t even know how to repay you.”
Lin Qiye waved his hand.
“Saving you is saving myself.
“I have another problem to solve this time. The evil aura of the demon race and Winged Wolf Tribe is hidden in your body. You have to get rid of it, or there will be endless trouble in the future! It’s dangerous.”
Lin Qiye’s expression was grave, and Zhu Yuheng couldn’t help but be shocked.
Her face instantly turned pale.
“Endless trouble? Ah… Will it threaten you, Uncle, and Aunty? I… I really am a Jinx…”
Zhu Yuheng fell silent andsat down on the bed.
It was as if something precious in her heart had been shattered.
All sorts of wonderful moments from the past two months flashed past her eyes like a passing image scroll.
Gu Shaoshang saving her was like the light in the night.
Aunt Gu and Uncle Gu treated her like their own daughter.
Gu He took care of her in every way possible.
She thought that her life would welcome spring and finally enjoy a wisp of spring breeze.
But she never expected that all of this was an illusion.
Zhu Yuheng’s eyes filled with tears.
She gritted her teeth. “Am I a danger? I can’t harm you guys. I’ll leave. I’ll leave tonight.”
Zhu Yuheng wiped her tears. She was extremely worried.
At this moment, she wasn’t worried about her own life.
She was afraid that she would harm Lin Qiye’s family.
It was okay if she died, but Uncle and Aunt Gu and Gu He absolutely couldn’t be injured.
At this moment, Zhu Yuheng’s gaze was resolute.
She clenched her fists.
Lin Qiye: “…”
“Don’t let your imagination run wild. Although it’s dangerous, I’ll help you solve it. Calm down…”
Lin Qiye comforted her.
However, Zhu Yuheng raised her head and looked at Lin Qiye.
“I saw a trace of seriousness in your expression. It’s dangerous, isn’t it? You didn’t think of a solution either, did you?
“You’re just comforting me.
“I understand. It must be dangerous.
“You’re a God-level expert. In my heart, you’re omnipotent. However, you still have such an expression. I know you can’t solve it.”
Zhu Yuheng shook her head with tears in her eyes.
“If I die, can it be resolved? Tell me. If so, I’d rather die right now than harm you guys!”
At this point, Zhu Yuheng’s timidity gradually faded. What replaced it was a firm determination.
