"I... go to Demon Emperor City?!"
The rabbit ears on Lin Qingyang's head stood straight up, and she took three steps back uncontrollably.
Going to Demon Emperor City? Are you kidding me? If you go back to your lair with this uncertain wolf cub, if your horse falls off, will he still come out alive?
Lin Qingyang swallowed and forced a smile, "Your Highness, I really can't leave. I can send the most capable person to Demon Emperor City to assist in the investigation..."
"I can't trust other people." Cang Mo interrupted him, his tone was understated but did not allow for refutation.
Lin Qingyang took a deep breath and continued to refuse, "Yinshi has always maintained neutrality between the two races. As the leader, if I rashly go to Demon Emperor City with you, I am afraid that it will make the human race think too much. Then..."
"What?" Cang Mo's eyes were fixed on him, "You are afraid that the human race will think too much, but you are not afraid that I will think too much? In the Scarlet Refining Sect, you helped the human race plot against me, and now the people from Yin City are poisoning the Demon Emperor City. Or, you claim to be neutral, but in fact you are working with the human race!"
Lin Qingyang was staring at him so hard that he couldn't answer anything for a while.
Spider Girl on the side couldn't help but murmured in a low voice, "Your Highness's words are unjust. If you really want to say who you are helping, he has obviously been..."
"Spider Lady!" Lin Qingyang shouted quickly.
Spider Girl looked at him and closed her mouth unwillingly.
Cang Mo sneered and pressed forward step by step, "Yin City is your territory. If you really want to go, it will be easy to block the news. You can use such lame excuses to evade it. Could it be that you have something wrong in your heart?"
Lin Qingyang didn't say anything. Cang Mo's attitude made it clear that if he didn't take him away today, he would never give up. If he really wanted to cause trouble in Fusheng Pavilion, it would probably end badly. He had to investigate the matter of the drunken rat anyway, so he just had to be careful not to reveal his secret.
After making up his mind, Lin Qingyang exhaled a sigh of relief and said in compromise, "His Highness is joking, I will just go down with Your Highness."
Hearing him relent, Cang Mo's gloomy expression finally softened a bit, and he raised his hand to make a gesture. All the demon guards sheathed their swords and retreated outside the door. The half-demon guys who were trembling in the lobby breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment while I go pack some changes of clothes." Lin Qingyang turned around and wanted to leave.
"No need." Cang Mo refused coldly, "Demon Emperor City has everything."
Lin Qingyang was helpless, how could this boy be so domineering now? But looking at Cang Mo's unprovoked expression, he didn't argue anymore.
"Rabbit San..." Spider Girl stepped forward and looked at him with worry on her face.
Lin Qingyang smiled at her reassuringly, "It's okay. You take care of the business in the store. I'll come back when the matter is cleared up."
"But..." Spider Girl glanced at Cang Mo with fear. She always felt that something was wrong with the way the demon king looked at Tu San, like a wild beast staring at its prey.
Lin Qingyang patted her shoulder and lowered her voice and told her, "Don't tell Mo Yan about this."
Spider Girl looked troubled, and before she could nod, Lin Qingyang felt her arms tighten, and she staggered and was dragged over, almost crashing into Cang Mo's arms.
He raised his eyes in shock, and met those amber wolf eyes with an undercurrent.
"Have you had enough nonsense?" Cang Mo said in an impatient tone, but her grip on his arm was not weak.
Lin Qingyang struggled away, Cang Mo stared at him, slowly let go of his hand, turned around and strode out.
"Gone!"
Lin Qingyang rubbed the painful arm, turned around and gave Spider Girl a reassuring look, and quickly followed her.
Outside the door, the luxurious carriage parked quietly.
Cang Mo stopped in front of the car, looked back at him, raised his chin slightly, and motioned for him to get in first.
Lin Qingyang looked at this gorgeous black and gold carriage and felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart. However, under Cang Mo's oppressive gaze, he could only bite the bullet and climb up using his hands and feet.
The interior of the carriage is even more spacious and luxurious than it looks from the outside. There are soft animal furs under your feet, crystal lamps emitting a soft halo hang from the roof, and exquisite refreshments are placed on the low table in the center. There is even a large sofa covered with soft cushions in the innermost part.
This kid really knows how to enjoy himself. Lin Qingyang secretly cursed in his heart and quickly picked a corner farthest from the couch to sit down.
Immediately afterwards, the carriage sank slightly, and Cang Mo stooped and walked in.
The tall body instantly made the spacious space feel cramped. Cang Mo did not take the main seat, but walked to the opposite side of Lin Qingyang and sat down slowly.
The spirit shadow horse neighed, and the carriage took off into the air. The hustle and bustle of the hidden city quickly disappeared, leaving only a depressing silence in the carriage.
Lin Qingyang lowered his head and stared at the patterns on the low table, but he could feel the eyes of the person opposite him, staring directly at him. The sense of crisis of being targeted by an apex predator was infinitely magnified in the confined space, making him somewhat breathless.
The awkward silence lasted for a long time. Lin Qingyang couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere, so she said dryly, "Your Highness... this car is nice."
Cang Mo stared at him, his eyes slightly narrowed, half-smiling, "Really?"
Hearing these two words, neither salty nor bland, made Lin Qingyang feel frightened again, fearing that any of her words would step on this ancestral minefield again.
Just when he was at a loss, Cang Mo suddenly leaned forward, picked up the teapot on the low table with his slender fingers, poured a cup of tea, and pushed it in front of him.
"Thank you." Lin Qingyang smiled and felt slightly relieved.
"You don't have anything to say?" Cang Mo took the teapot and poured himself another cup of tea.
Lin Qingyang suppressed the surprise in her heart, thought about it, and carefully asked, "How are the clan leaders who were poisoned in Demon Emperor City now?"
Cang Mo narrowed his eyes slightly and uttered two words coldly. "Not dead."
"What kind of poison can it be found out?" Lin Qingyang asked.
Cang Mo made a move and placed the teapot heavily on the low table, making a muffled sound.
He raised his eyes, with some frightening emotion suppressed in his amber pupils. "Is this all you want to ask?"
"No... what else?" Lin Qingyang said in a daze. Isn't this man's effort to get him in the car just to investigate the case?
Cang Mo didn't answer, but just stared at the fluffy rabbit head in front of him, his chest rising and falling slightly, and his eyes gradually evolved from the initial temptation and forbearance to a kind of paranoia and annoyance that was almost engulfing him.
Lin Qingyang was so flustered by what he saw that she avoided his sight with a guilty conscience. She picked up the tea cup and took a sip as if to cover up. When the warm tea entered her mouth, a familiar bitterness spread on the tip of her tongue along with the sweetness. Lin Qingyang made a sudden movement, and then she choked on the tea and coughed.
Lin Qingyang coughed until the corners of her eyes turned red, the rabbit ears on her head trembled, but her heart was beating wildly. This was clearly her favorite tea in the past.
"Does the tea still taste good?" A low and hoarse voice sounded faintly in the narrow carriage, with a hint of gritted teeth, "It was your favorite drink before."
Lin Qingyang froze, raised his head suddenly, and looked into those bloodshot eyes filled with madness and anger.
Cang Mo leaned forward suddenly, holding the table and approaching aggressively. His breath almost brushed the tip of the other person's nose. A pair of wolf eyes stared at him fiercely, and he gritted his teeth and said every word:
"Do you think I can't recognize you with this look? Lin, Qing, Yang!"
