Crossing the Palace Fighting Fox Harem

Chapter 492 Forget Yun Zhen

"Your Majesty wants to stay here?" Liuguang couldn't believe his ears and laughed coldly.

Ji Anni nodded firmly, and responded to his frivolous gaze with a momentum that was no less than Liuguang's. Although she had almost died at his hands before, she was no longer the Ji Anni she once was. Perhaps Liuguang should be the one to be afraid of. He owed Xiaoxue's life, and Ji Anni would get it back one day.

Liuguang met Ji Anni's persistent gaze, and suddenly guessed something, and asked tentatively: "Your Highness is really brave, daring to live with the Ghost King. Could it be that the Ghost King in this cave... is someone Your Highness knows?"

Ji Annie's heart skipped a beat. Did Liu Guang already know that the Ghost King was Yun Zhen? Would he hurt Yun Zhen or Yun Zhen's family? Thinking of this, Ji Annie hurriedly lowered her head, fearing that Liu Guang would see some clues from her face.

"I will stay here to control the Ghost King's emotions and prevent him from doing evil. This is also a good thing for you. I believe the general will not object." After leaving this sentence, Ji Anni did not want to stay any longer and turned around and walked back. The Cang Ghost who had been resting on Ji Anni's shoulder also followed her back to the cave.

Looking at Ji Anni's receding back, Xuanjizi stepped forward and asked, "Captain, are you just going to let her go like this..." Ji Anni and Liuguang had been enemies for a long time, and now that she has the help of the Ghost King, it is inevitable that she will have a desire for revenge.

But Liuguang, the person involved, was calmer than Xuanjizi. He shook his head slightly and said to the chief guard beside him, "Just leave two people to guard the cave entrance, and the rest of you can come back to the palace with me."

Following the dark tunnel, Ji Anni returned to the room where the Ghost King was.

As soon as she appeared in the Ghost King's sight, the Ghost King asked coldly: "Have you confirmed it? The rain should have stopped, right?"

Ji Anni whispered, "It did stop. Thank you for fulfilling my first wish."

"You still have two wishes, so you'd better think about them quickly. Don't try to prolong your life by delaying time. I don't have much patience." The Ghost King retracted his gaze, closed his eyes again, and sat motionless on the stiff and cold stone bed.

Ji Anni didn't say anything, but knelt down in front of the stone wall opposite him. There was nothing in this room except the stone bed under the ghost king, so Ji Anni could only sit on the ground. The ghost king seemed to be practicing, and a faint blue light was shrouded on his body. With the help of this blue light, Ji Anni silently looked at his familiar face. His eyebrows, nose, and lips were clearly Yun Zhen's. When he was still like this, Ji Anni almost thought it was Yun Zhen. But as soon as he opened his mouth, the domineering and arrogant look in his eyes turned him into a completely different person.

In the deathly silence, the two sat less than ten steps apart from each other, and no one spoke.

After an unknown amount of time, the Ghost King was the first to break the silence. He asked expressionlessly, "Why didn't you leave with them?" Even though the Ghost King was deep in the cave, he could still grasp the situation outside the cave. The conversation between Ji Anni and Liu Guang just now naturally did not escape his extraordinary hearing.

When he asked, Ji Anni felt a trace of sadness in her heart, and she smiled sadly and said, "I don't know why, I just want to be with you..." Rather than returning to the cold and ruthless palace where she had no relatives, she would rather stay with the Ghost King. At least this way she could deceive herself that Yun Zhen was still alive, living in front of her, but she could not touch him or talk to him, and could only watch him from afar. Even so, she was already satisfied.

The ghost king shattered Ji Anni's delusion with his indifferent attitude: "I have already told you that the person you like is already dead. Even if you stay here, he won't know, let alone be resurrected."

"I know, I know everything..." Ji Anni smiled slightly, staring at the Ghost King not far away. In fact, in her heart, that was not the Ghost King at all, but the real Yun Zhen. How she wished to throw herself into Yun Zhen's arms, seek his comfort, and tell him how confused she was; how she wished to cry in his arms, and then let him wipe her tears and listen to his gentle comfort. But such a small wish has now become a delusion.

Unconsciously, Ji Anni's vision had blurred. A faint mist blurred her eyes, and the figure of the ghost king opposite her turned into many broken shadows. In the illusory blue light, it became ethereal and incredible. Ji Anni seemed to be possessed. She stood up and dragged her tired steps, slowly walking towards the ghost king step by step. Cang Gui was the first to notice that Ji Anni looked a little strange, and hurriedly flew up, flapping his wings, trying to stop Ji Anni.

But Ji Anni seemed not to see it and walked straight to the Ghost King. She looked up at the familiar face of the Ghost King, and her eyes seemed to penetrate his body and reach the soul buried deep inside. The Ghost King looked at Ji Anni with a little surprise. Ji Anni suddenly stretched out her hand and slowly covered the back of the Ghost King's hand with her palm.

"Do you know what you are doing?" The Ghost King's deep eyes stared straight at Ji Anni's expressionless face.

"It's different from what I imagined. It turns out that you also have body temperature. Just like Yun Zhen, warm, warm..." Ji Anni murmured, gently took the ghost king's hand and stroked her cheek. "Yun Zhen, how do you want me to believe that you are dead?" The pain that is clearly in front of me, but cannot be touched; the distance between us is so far away. Slowly closing her eyes, a warm current surged in her eyes, slid along her white jade face, and fell into the palm of the ghost king's hand.

The warmth of the tears moved the Ghost King. He stared at Ji Anni infatuatedly, and an indescribable feeling arose from the bottom of his heart. The heartache this woman brought to him seemed to overlap with Xue Lan's. Their crying faces were so similar, and even the expressions of biting their lips and choking were exactly the same. There was no time to think about it. With just a subconscious action, the Ghost King actually grabbed Ji Anni's hand, suddenly pulled her to his side, and held her tightly in his arms.

At this moment, a flash of panic flashed across Ji Anni's eyes. But soon, her guard was removed by the familiar breath coming from Yun Zhen. She slowly closed her eyes, and couldn't help but raise her hands and hug the ghost king's back. "Yun Zhen, please come back... I can't live without you..." As she said this, tears burst down her face, and soon even her neck and ears were soaked.

At this moment, Ji Anni felt a flash in front of her eyes, and her body was held by the ghost king, leaning slightly. When she came to her senses, she found that she had been pressed down by the ghost king. The distance between the two was so close that they could even feel each other's breathing. The ghost king stared at Ji Anni's crying face, and slowly raised his hand to wipe the tears from her face. "Don't cry in front of me, I hate to see you cry..." There was a hint of heartache and worry in the cold and ruthless words.

Ji Anni took a breath and wiped her face with her sleeve. If possible, she didn't want to show such a cowardly side. But the indescribable heartache took away all her strength. Apart from the heartache and tears, her mind was blank. She saw an expression similar to Yun Zhen in the focused eyes of the Ghost King, and it became increasingly difficult to tell who the person in front of her was.

"Yun Zhen, are you back?" She raised her hands, gently hugged the Ghost King's neck, and buried her face in his neck. A familiar breath filled her nose, but it seemed so distant that it seemed like a lifetime ago. "Yun Zhen... don't leave me... no matter what you become, you are still Yun Zhen, don't let me forget you..." The memories of the past emerged one by one, some sad, some happy, some heartbreaking, some sweet, no matter which memory it was, it was deeply engraved in Ji Anni's life.

In a trance, Yun Zhen held her cheek, lowered his head, and placed a gentle kiss on her trembling lips. This kiss, with the salty taste of tears, took away Ji Anni's mind. Not only did she not refuse, but she also took the initiative to hug the other party and offered her sweet lips.

Witnessing all this, Cang Gui was at a loss as to what to do, not knowing whether to stop it or to retreat.

The ghost king laid Ji Anni flat on the stone bed, kissing the tears on her cheeks while taking off her clothes. Ji Anni lay obediently under the ghost king as if she had lost her soul, and from her slightly parted lips, she uttered a low hum like a dream, calling Yun Zhen's name over and over again in a barely audible voice.

The ghost king lowered his head and sealed her lips, crushing those broken names in the lingering of his tongue. "I will make you completely forget him and become my woman." The hot breath came close to Ji Anni's ear and made such a domineering declaration. But Ji Anni could no longer hear, and there was only a slit in her eyes that slowly oozed tears. Her breathing became more and more rapid, and her body continued to heat up, and her heartbeat became disordered.

When the Ghost King took off her shirt and began to kiss her delicate skin, he realized that the heat from his lips was a little strange. He immediately stopped and touched Ji Anni's cheeks and forehead, and then he realized that her whole body was burning hot, like a fireball. "What's wrong with you?" The Ghost King picked up Ji Anni, took off his coat and wrapped it around her. Ji Anni leaned softly in the Ghost King's arms, unable to say anything, but kept panting, and the breath she exhaled became hotter and hotter.

"She is sick." Only then did Cang Gui flap his wings, fly up, land beside Ji Anni and observe her complexion.

"Sick? What should I do?" The Ghost King was also confused. As a monster, he didn't quite understand the evil that plagued humans.

"She was already soaked when she rushed here in the heavy rain. The cave is dark and gloomy, and it is easy to be infected by evil spirits. Coupled with excessive sadness, she became so sick. If she is not treated quickly, I am afraid her life will be in danger." Cang Gui is more familiar with humans than the Ghost King, so he understands the current situation better than the Ghost King. Ji Anni must be sent out as soon as possible and find a doctor for treatment. There can be no delay.

Cang Gui calmly said to the panicking Ghost King: "The nearest place now is the Imperial Palace. Send her back and let the imperial physician heal her."
