Seeing that Luo Yi remained unmoved, Ye Lingyue bit her lip.
"Then do you rember Xue Zhong?"
When she heard Xue Zhong’s na, Luo Yi’s eyes finally showed so change, her rosy complexion turned pale.
Seeing that Luo Yi finally reacted, Ye Lingyue was preparing to further "provoke" her.
"Captain Luo Yi, what are you doing?"
Ye Lingyue was startled, noticing the manager from the City Lord’s Mansion limping over from a distance.
Seeing the manager, Ye Lingyue cursed inwardly, thinking of their prior brief encounter, fearing his suspicion, and imdiately lowered her head.
The manager had been bedridden for so days because of the "curse" from the Little Evil Rabbit, hence he was unaware of Di Shen and Ye Lingyue’s entry into the mansion today.
"Since when is my business your concern, get lost." Luo Yi’s face turned pale as she viciously glared at the manager.
"Luo Yi, you bitch, don’t think just because Lord Situ fancies you, you can behave outrageously in the City Lord’s Mansion. Everyone knows you are nothing but a toy to him. Just wait and see how I deal with you." The manager muttered angrily as he walked away, having found no satisfaction.
Perhaps influenced by Ye Lingyue’s words, Luo Yi’s complexion dimd, and after a brief remark, she hurriedly departed.
"Madam Di, it’s getting late, your room is just ahead, I won’t be escorting you further."
Ye Lingyue looked at Luo Yi’s departing figure, sighed, entered the yard, waiting for Di Shen to return for a detailed discussion.
It was not until late at night that Di Shen returned.
"Wife, how did it go with Luo Yi?"
As soon as Di Shen ca in, he eagerly asked.
"It was useless, Luo Yi doesn’t rember us or Xue Zhong. However, I observed her; the human-like weapons and senior brother Xue Zhong are different, her body is not of Vajra structure. There must be other thods for making spirit puppets in the lower section of Xue Zhong’s Puppet Book. Unless we know that thod, Luo Yi cannot return to normal."
Since Ye Lingyue returned, she had been pondering this issue.
"That Situ Nan’s cultivation is quite peculiar, I probed several tis during the banquet but couldn’t ascertain his identity or background." Di Shen, being cautious, didn’t make a move earlier at the banquet.
"Earlier, I went to see City Lord Yang, he couldn’t clarify Situ Nan’s background either. There must be other forces supporting him. Di Shen, the only way to save Luo Yi is to have Situ Nan remake a spirit puppet." As soon as Ye Lingyue finished speaking, Di Shen understood.
"Wife, you plan to test Situ Nan yourself, let him make you into a spirit puppet? No way, that’s too dangerous. If you must try, let do it. Don’t say another word, I will never agree to such a thing."
Di Shen refused Ye Lingyue’s idea without a second thought.
Di Shen was clearly displeased with Ye Lingyue’s rash decision, so he turned away and sulked.
"Di Shen, to create a special spirit puppet, one must use mutated Power of Reincarnation. Although you have the Five Spirits Nirvana Body, ultimately your cultivation involves Five Elents Reincarnation Power, not suitable for making special spirit puppets. Situ Nan might not fall for it. Earlier, he repeatedly tested my Power of Reincarnation at the feast, probably thinking I et his refining requirents. Besides, I’m an Alchemist, the only one who understands various thods of Artifact Refining. If it were you, even if Situ Nan demonstrated in front of you, you might not learn it."
Seeing Di Shen like an angry lion, still silent, Ye Lingyue chuckled.
This man, who had been calm and wise since childhood, has his temperant overturned as soon as the matter relates to her.
Luckily, she was well aware of his character.
Rising and stepping forward, Ye Lingyue wrapped her arms around the man’s waist, gently leaning on his broad, wall-like back.
As Ye Lingyue’s warm body nestled into him, Di Shen’s body tensed montarily.
Those soft hands rested on his firm waist.
He gritted his teeth and silently recited in his heart.
"Crafty girl, trying to use beauty tactics, no way, this ti I absolutely won’t compromise. Can’t compromise with such a dangerous thing."
"Di Shen, I promise you, I won’t get into trouble, you haven’t fully regained your mory, how could I get into trouble? We will never be like Luo Yi and senior brother Xue Zhong, we will be together forever."
When those words of forever reached Di Shen’s ear, earlier resolved to stand firm and unyielding, his iron will instantly softened, his tight bowstring-like back suddenly slackened.
He sighed, turned around, and gazed at Ye Lingyue in front of him.
Under the light, his woman had a charming smile, those clear eyes sparkling with confidence, making him reluctant to refuse.
The familiar scent of the man wafted on Ye Lingyue’s face.
Her face flushed, wanting to dodge, but it was too late.
The man’s lips covered hers, gently nibbling, leaving silence between them.
"Not just this life, but the next life, and the life after the next, say it again." Di Shen demanded with boldness.
"Alright, alright, it’s for eternity."
Ye Lingyue teased, nudging Di Shen, yet unable to resist the rogue’s strength, she had no choice but to comply.
"Ye Lingyue, rember, throughout eternity, you’ll only be my Di Shen’s woman."
"Why should I be yours alone, Di Shen, then you must also, throughout eternity, be my Ye Lingyue’s man."
Like quarrelling children, the two traded banter back and forth, resembling sweet whispers, warming the cold night unknowingly.
On the other side of the City Lord’s Mansion, after sending off Ye Lingyue, Luo Yi didn’t return to the banquet but instead chose to retreat to her quarters in apparent evasion.
As the Guard Captain of the City Lord’s Mansion, and the only female guard.
Luo Yi’s dwelling was a small independent yard.
The night was deep, yet Luo Yi found it hard to sleep.
Her temples throbbed painfully; this feeling had arisen when she first encountered Madam Di.
After hearing Madam Di ntion "Xue Zhong", the feeling beca even more pronounced.
She thought this sensation would fade as long as she distanced herself from Madam Di, but it did not.
The door was abruptly pushed open.
The alcohol-reeking Situ Nan stumbled in.
"Luo Yi, who allowed you to leave and return alone?"
Situ Nan glanced at Luo Yi, sitting dazed on the bed, sowhat displeased, stumbling as he approached.
"Ever since you t that Di couple, you seem off. Do those two an sothing?"
