Chapter 813: Run Chu [The Story Of The Precious Relic]
"How dare you speak the name of our emperor without caution?" Shi Ji’s expression remained unyielding, devoid of any discernible emotion. He appeared oblivious to the fact that the person before him was infamous in Demon City.
A peculiar expression crossed Shenlian Yingyue’s face. Did she imagine he recognized her? Uncertain about the situation, she opted for a conciliatory tone. "I only have a question for him."
"Who do you think you are?" Before Shi Ji could respond, a sarcastic voice interrupted.
A delicate figure emerged, dressed in an ethereal pale white moonlight Hanfu that accentuated her flawless skin and mesmerizing figure. Tall, slender, and exuding an air of graceful elegance, she resembled a fairy from the celestial realms.
"Greetings, Concubine Run," Shi Ji intoned, placing his right hand to his chest in a respectful bow.
Concubine Run?
"Who is this audacious individual, demanding an audience with my majesty?" Concubine Run’s delicate brows knitted together as she scrutinized Shenlian Yingyue. Although the cloak obscured her features, she could confidently identify the figure as female.
Any outsider attempting to address the emperor typically ended poorly. While Run Chu appeared as pure as a fairy dancing under the glow of the moon, there was an underlying darkness in her gaze that hinted at her true nature.
Shenlian Yingyue studied Concubine Run, piecing together recognition. If her memory served her right, this Concubine Run was indeed Run Chu.
