Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Han Moze averted his eyes to the officials on the ground who trembled non-stop. A cold, glistening glint flashed across his eyes.
Just then, at an alarming speed, he took off and caught up with the injured cat demons.
Meow!
Han Moze slapFgped that cat demon away, causing it to crash hard onto the ground and spit up blood.
The cat demons tried their hardest to get up from the ground, but they were heavily injured and practically couldn’t get to their feet.
Han Moze watched as the cat demons sprawled on the floor, unable to stand, and spoke in a flat voice. “Tell me where are the rest of your kind and perhaps, I can spare your lives! Otherwise, don’t blame me for killing you!”
The cat demon looked clearly frightened, as her body became unusually stiff and she had a terrified look on her face. She furrowed her brows for a moment in thought, then replied in a weak voice. “They all headed to the top of the mountain.”
Han Moze slightly narrowed his eyes with a dangerous aura about him, then waved his hand at the cat demon. That single slap sent her flying.
The cat demon’s eyes widened in disbelief, as blood rushed from her throat and spat from her mouth. She lay sprawled on the ground, then became still.
With a killer, icy aura, Han Moze took the chance to spin around and take large strides to the side of his horse. He leapt upward, then headed for the top of Mount Jade Cloud as swiftly as a storm.
The frosty moonlight shone like fragmented silver over Mount Jade Cloud and illuminated the serene greenery of the mountain forest.
Every so often, the sounds of piercing cat cries could be heard coming from the forest.
The never-ending, agonizing cries of criminals gradually disappeared.
Han Moze caught glimpses of the cat demons that would sometimes leap up from a corner and dash away. His squint was cold and sharp like a knife and a frosty presence emitted from his entire body.
Han Moze never stopped for a moment during his journey from the foot of the mountain till the peak. After a short while, he finally reached the top of the mountain.
Looking outward, he saw a field of serene greenery and a winding road that spanned over thousands of meters long.
The area looked completely empty and there wasn’t a silhouette of a cat demon in sight.
Han Moze’s eerie exterior and long, slender body; his long, swaying, black hair; and his handsome face beyond compare shone under the moonlight. He had a smoky kind of beauty. He furrowed the center of his brows as though something was on his mind.
“Ze, save me!”
Just then, Han Moze suddenly heard a very weak mumble.
Through the rustling leaves, all Han Moze could see was Liu Rushuang in white clothing, covered in blood, lying on the gra.s.s.
Suddenly, Han Moze’s body froze and he couldn’t help but look stunned for a split second.
A second later, Han Moze slid off the horse’s back and ran over to Liu Rushuang.
He rushed to Liu Rushuang’s side in an instant, then raised her up into his embrace. His heart ached immensely when he looked at Liu Rushuang’s pale-white complexion with bloodshot eyes. “Shuang’er, I’m taking you back to the palace. From now on, we have to be together forever and never be apart. What do you say?” He said with a slightly choked up voice.
Two rows of tears fell from Liu Rushuang’s pale-white and vulnerable complexion. “Alright, Ze. I’ll listen to you,” she said with a weak smile, and a tearful nod.
Then, she raised her hand to stroke Han Moze’s face. “Ze, I’m fine. I don’t want to see you frown. Smile for me, won’t you?” She said with a gentle look on her face and a faint smile.
Han Moze didn’t say a word, but forced a charming smile and gazed at Liu Rushuang with eyes full of love.
Liu Rushuang grinned happily, then looked away to let out a couple of gentle coughs.
