Chapter 300: Down the mountain, less self-control (Part 1)
The person making noises outside the imperial hall was no other than Mo Yuer, who learned her fatherâs death.
Mo Yuer, naturally, didnât cry like any other women in the palace harem. She just stood and stared coldly at the eunuch, who was guarding at the door: âI want to see the emperor.â
âThis is the imperial palace hall, the palace harem is not allowed to enter here. Please, Yu Meiren, just go back to your palace quickly.â The palace people have always been aware of who has the lowest and highest reputation in the imperial harem. Mo Yuer doesnât rely on her fatherâs reputation. Because in the harem, she was favored because she was the most beautiful among them all.
âI want to see the emperor.â Mo Yuer has never been a nice speaker, so she simply didnât back down when the eunuch stopped her.
Although Mo Yuer has no strong background, she was after all an imperial concubine. So, the eunuch didnât dare to be rude, he tried to persuade her again: âYu Meiren, please return to your palace first, the emperor will go and see you later.â
âI said, I want to see the emperor, didnât you hear me?!â Mo Yuer repeated her words again, but her voice was louder than the previous one. The eunuch was scared and kowtowed in the ground: âYu Meiren, please forgive this servant, but this servant cannot just let you in.â
âThen go and ask, itâs not up to you, whether the emperor will see me or not.â Mo Yuer looked calm and silent. But, many people in the palace dared not to offend her, because⦠â¦
She was Divine Doctor Moâs daughter. Who knows if she has medical skills and uses it to punish them.
The Emperor wanted to treat the noise outside like it was nothing. However, it became louder and louder and he had a headache. The Emperor waved his hand to Imperial Doctor Qin, indicating that he should continue his treatment. When the eunuch entered the hall to report, the emperor said impatiently: âTell Yu Meiren, zhen cannot be bothered right now, zhen will see her later.â
The eunuch reported back the emperorâs words to Mo Yuer, then he asked her again to leave.
Mo Yuer had a pale face like a paper. She bites her lips, as her tears keep falling down from her eyes while staring at the door of the imperial hall.
The Empress once told her before, if she loses her father, who was famous in the four countries. The Emperor will no longer care about her ident.i.ty. She must bear this humiliation.
After turning away, Mo Yuer waited for the whole night, but the emperor didnât come. The next morning, she inquired about the emperorâs where about. Mo Yuer learned that Imperial Concubine Zhou met the Emperor along the way, and she intercepted with his visit.

The first ray of the sunlight shone in the forest and on Lin Chujiuâs face. Her a bit fluffy cheek was clearly seen⦠â¦
White, soft⦠⦠people couldnât help but want to touch it.
Lin Chujiuâs eyelids trembled a bit. Demon Lord knew that Lin Chujiu will wake up. He didnât look at her indifferently because he didnât look at her face again.
When Lin Chujiu woke up, she saw Demon Lord sitting across from her. She was already used with his ghostly mask, so she didnât get scared.
âMorning.â Lin Chujiuâs voice was soft but has some trace of laziness from waking up.
âMmm.â Demon Lord simply replied and got up, then he walked outside the cave.
A man who just woke up early in the morning has much less self-control!
The forests early in the morning has full of vitality and the air was clear, so people couldnât help but get indulged with it.
Lin Chujiu walked out of the cave and lazily stretched out her waist. The wounds on her body ache. She found her sore muscles seemed became much worse than last night.
However, this pain was still within the range of Lin Chujiuâs pain tolerance. At least, she was sure that she can still walk down from the Wolf Mountain.
After a quarter of an hour, Demon Lord came back with water and wild fruits. The water was placed in a bamboo tube. The amount was quite large, she could wash a bit after drinking.

Lin Chujiu knew that this man in front of her was like Xiao Tianyao. He doesnât accept verbal thank you, so she didnât waste her saliva to say her thanks.
After a quarter of an hour, Lin Chujiu cleaned up herself and finished the wild fruit. The two people ready themselves to go down the mountain.
In order to save time and in order to avoid the wolves, Demon Lord didnât let Lin Chujiu walk. He hugged her and jumped up from the treetops all the way down of the mountain.
Seeing Demon Lord not even panting a bit after going down the mountain. Lin Chujiu wanted to ask: Demon Lord since you have such skills, why didnât you sent me down last night? Why did we stay on the mountain for a night?
Well, Lin Chujiu admits that she was scared to ask such questions.
âI was really lucky to meet you this time. If you didnât show up, I donât know how I am going to leave the Wolf Mountain.â Demon Lord doesnât like verbal thanks, so Lin Chujiu didnât say thank you directly. She just expressed sentences with the same meaning,
Demon Lord didnât appreciate her words, he sarcastically replied: âThis lord also think the same. Without this lord, you can only live in there.â
âHow is that possible⦠â¦â Lin Chujiu faintly smiled and didnât continue her words.
She never expects anyone to save her. His appearance was just an accident. Although she was happy about it, she was not that excited to see a life-saving grace.
She was happy to meet Demon Lord, but she will also be fine if he didnât appear. She will find a way to go down the mountain by herself. She never pinned hope of her survival to other people.
âWhere are you going? This lord will not only help you to go down but also will give you a ride.â There were a thousand meters away from the Wind Cliff Valley up to the capitalâs gate. If Lin Chujiu will just walk, she might only encounter those people catching her, when the night came.
âIs it okay to go somewhere else?â Lin Chujiuâs eye lit up and couldnât help but asked in a hurry.
Knowing what Lin Chujiu was thinking, Demon Lord couldnât help but sneer: âAside from the capital, where else do you want to go?â This woman was really courageous. She was actually thinking to leave the capital?
âNone, I am going back to the capital.â Lin Chujiuâs desire immediately diminished.
Demon Lord was right, aside from the capital, where else can she go?
*whistle* Demon Lord took a deep breath and whistled out loud. From the corner of the Wolf Mountain, a maroon horse ran out and went to his side. However, Demon Lord pushed the horse to side.
Whether it was a person or a horse, he doesnât like getting close to others.
The horse bowed down his head, Lin Chujiu seemed to have seen the grievances to the horseâs eyes.
Lin Chujiu looked at Demon Lord who was staring at his horse and asked: âDonât you like him?â
âIt is a very spiritual horse.â As soon as Demon Lord opened his mouth, the horse looked at him. It seemed to be confused.
âIt is a wild horse from the Wolf Mountain. Iâve been raising him since he was born.â This horse was the only playmate he has during his childhood.
âNo wonder⦠â¦â He was so close to you.
âLetâs go, I will send you back to the capital.â Demon Lord was not willing to talk about himself any further. After turning with the horse, he reached out his hand to Lin Chujiu⦠â¦
Of course, he can directly grab Lin Chujiu to the horse, but he likes it when she extends her hand towards him as if she was giving everything about herself to him.
When Demon Lordâs big hand hold Lin Chujiuâs small hand, he put some force. The horse also walked forward, so Lin Chujiu was pulled.
One person and one horse have a tacit understanding. Lin Chujiu just sat down on the maroon colored horse, as it ran all the way to the road, without needing to be controlled⦠â¦
