Chapter 152 As expected of a top-tier bodyguard
Jun Ce's face appeared in Zhai Rong's mind.
Her marriage was naturally not as important as her brother's life.
The wedding is scheduled for next year, and if things go smoothly, we should be able to make it in time.
If we can't make it...
She bit her lip, already having made up her mind.
Zhai Rong returned to Chenxingzhai and dug out the wine jar buried under the tree.
She tossed the hoe aside, patted the dirt off the wine jar, uncorked it, and leaned in to smell it; the rich aroma of the wine filled her nostrils.
A faint smile appeared on her lips.
Hmm... I've absorbed almost all of the moonlight's power.
Before heading to Nansang, we must make Brother Huaixu drink this wine.
The Nine-Turn Golden Elixir inside can help him cultivate.
Zhai Rongyu stood up, and the bracelet on her wrist fell down, striking the wine jar with a clinking sound.
She raised her arm and stared at the locust blossom on the bracelet.
[I almost forgot, I should also leave this Star River Moon Shadow Bracelet to him.]
Otherwise, I would have gone to Nansang, which is far away, and his dragon aura would have been impossible to suppress.
His cultivation is not yet stable; he is certainly no match for those dragons.
She lowered her eyes, a thought flashing through her mind.
I wonder how his cultivation is progressing.
No, I have to go check it out.
Zhai Rongyu's mind raced, and she disappeared from the spot, clutching the talisman.
The Regent's Palace.
Jun Ce sat on the couch with his eyes closed, circulating his qi.
A surge of powerful lightning passed through his body, causing his dark robes to shimmer with a faint silver light.
The spiritual root within his body trembled.
A powerful spiritual force was slowly released, sometimes flowing through the meridians like a trickle, and sometimes surging like a raging torrent.
His thin lips were pressed tightly together, and the veins on his temples bulged slightly from his restraint.
Jun Ce raised his hand and guided the restless spiritual energy to his meridians, attempting to tame it.
Yet I always felt a sense of hindrance.
A faint aura of dragons emanated from the area.
A gray-robed man smelled a strong dragon aura and suddenly opened his eyes.
He leaped through the atmosphere and fixed his gaze on a piece of land within the territory of the Dragon Flame Kingdom.
"This is... the capital city?"
How could there be the aura of dragons in the human world?
His gaze turned icy instantly, and he followed the scent.
Zhai Rong landed on a tree in the Regent's Palace and happened to encounter a lone figure passing by.
"Miss Zhai?!" The figure stopped abruptly.
Zhai Rong carefully held the wine jar and leaped down from the tree.
She shook the fallen leaves off her dress and asked with a smile, "Where is your master?"
The lone dog sniffed the air.
This wine smells so good...
He swallowed hard and pointed to the inner courtyard, saying, "The master is cultivating in his room." But his eyes were fixed on the wine jar in Zhai Rong's arms.
[Practice?]
This wine will come in handy.
Zhai Rong hugged the wine jar tightly, met Zhiying's gaze, raised an eyebrow and said, "Want a drink?"
The lone lackey nodded.
He'd never smelled such fragrant wine before...
It'll definitely taste good!
Zhai Rong said mysteriously, "There might be a complete tonic pill in here!"
"You really want to drink?"
The figure frowned, somewhat hesitant: "The Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill... how nourishing is it?"
"You're young, drinking this will only cause you a little nosebleed, it's nothing serious," Zhai Rongyu said, as she reached to pull out the cork.
No problem?
Suddenly, the image of the Painted Skin Demon uprooting the tree flashed through Zhiying's mind.
He shuddered, got goosebumps, and hurriedly waved his hands in refusal, "No, no!"
"No, I'd rather not!"
"Such nourishing ingredients should be left for the master!"
"I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy..."
He swung his whirlwind kick and quickly left the scene.
He can't afford that!
Zhai Rongyu's lips twitched.
It's just a drink, look how scared this child is...
She lifted her foot and walked towards Jun Ce's room.
The gray-robed man landed in the capital, only to find that the dragon's aura had faded considerably.
He frowned, his mind filled with doubts.
The closer they get, the stronger the dragon's aura should be, so why does it seem to have faded instead?
He pulled a compass from his pocket, the pointer oscillating within a certain range.
A cold glint flashed in his icy eyes.
Since it was within this range, he searched each one one by one! He was determined to find it!
Zhai Rongyu hesitated when she arrived at the door.
[Could Brother Huaixu be currently channeling his energy? It would be best to go in now without interrupting his cultivation.]
Why don't you just wait at the entrance for a while?
She put down her hand that was knocking on the door and waited quietly outside, holding the wine jar.
Jun Ce heard the thought and his brow twitched.
He channeled his inner energy, forcing the lightning power back into his spiritual root, then suppressed his aura and interrupted his cultivation.
He got up and walked to the door.
The moment the door opened, the gray-robed man had just caught up to the vicinity of the Regent's Palace.
The dragon's aura suddenly vanished.
He frowned and searched the vicinity, but couldn't detect even the slightest trace of it.
The compass needle returned to its original position and showed no further indication.
The gray-robed man had a sinister look in his eyes.
Could it be... that he has already left Longyan?
He silently surveyed the several mansions in front of him, finally gritted his teeth, and flew away.
Jun Ce opened the door and saw the girl leaning against it.
Despite the bitter winter cold, she wore only a thin, snow-white cloak.
Her cascading black hair was gathered up with a jade hairpin, and her fair ear tips were slightly red as if they had been frozen.
She leaned back, her hands revealing a light green dress underneath as she held a wine jar. A snow-white satin ribbon was tied around her waist, accentuating her slender figure, and a cloth bag hung from it.
Her slender figure appeared even more delicate in the cold winter.
Upon hearing the noise, Zhai Rongyu turned her head, stood up, and a smile bloomed on her fair and delicate face, like the revival of spring.
Jun Ce's heart skipped a beat.
She patted the wine jar in her arms, tilted her head and smiled, "Look what I brought you~"
Jun Ce took the wine jar and used one hand to pull the girl into the house.
Her slender fingertips were as cold as snow, and he couldn't help but frown and ask, "Why are you dressed so scantily?"
Zhai Rongyu stuck out her tongue.
Ren Junze dragged him into the room and pressed him into a chair.
I'm wearing quite a lot of clothes...
She shrugged, burying her face in the snow-white down around her neck, her large almond-shaped eyes sparkling with light.
Jun Ce rubbed her head helplessly, feeling a lump in his throat.
He went outside and called to the shadowy figure.
"Bring some charcoal."
"Yes." Zhiying glanced at Zhai Rongyu inside the room and gave a knowing, aunt-like smile.
"What happened to your eyebrows?" Zhai Rongyu asked the shadow.
Why is it flying so high?
There was no eyebrow lift surgery in ancient times...
The figure chuckled awkwardly, "Heh... It's easy to get sleepy in winter, so I'll just lift my eyebrows to perk myself up..."
Zhai Rong nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
[As expected of a top-tier bodyguard.]
[They're quite good at self-discipline.]
This level of professionalism deserves a huge thumbs up!
She frantically pressed the "like" button in her mind.
Jun Ce glanced at the lone figure and said in a calm voice, "Hurry up and go."
A lone figure swiftly brought over a pot of red charcoal, put it down, turned and left, thoughtfully closing the door behind him and standing guard by the door.
It was only with great difficulty that the Lord was able to be alone with Miss Zhai.
Even if it were the Heavenly King himself, he would still have to drive him away!
His face was grim, and his wary eyes scanned the surroundings.
