Beauty and the Beasts: A Forbidden Love in a Mythical

Chapter 24: Scheming in the Whirlwind (Part 9)



Enduring the pain, Zuo Yi knelt down again. "Your Majesty, absolutely not. The Lord of the Wolf - Controlling Region is becoming more and more powerful and doesn't take you, the emperor, seriously at all. There can only be one master in the YuHuang Kingdom..."

"Shut up!" DuGu Heng covered his chest.

"Your Majesty, don't dig on this land... Heaven will surely punish the people of the YuHuang Kingdom. Moreover, the Lord of the Wolf - Controlling Region is your greatest hidden danger..." Zuo Yi, the civil official who was physically weak, had his spleen kicked and was spitting out blood, but he still couldn't forget the struggle for power and interests.

"Dig for me!" DuGu Heng's cold eyes narrowed. "Zuo Yi, don't let me hear such words again in the future, or don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Yes! I obey the imperial order."

The carefully designed ancestral grave had collapsed with a loud crash, as if it had gone through a great disaster on earth. Little Maozi followed DuGu Heng. He had never seen the emperor so anxious and at a loss. He had served the emperor since he was a child and was extremely worried but didn't know what to do.

Wan Ou, who was dreaming of holding gold bricks, was stunned by the deafening noise. Just now, it was magnificent and sunny, but at this moment, it was plunged into pitch darkness where one couldn't see one's own hand in front of one's face.

The Gate of the Underworld. Having watched a lot of Western movies, she began to imagine a handsome and dashing humanoid creature with superpowers, who could freely roam between heaven and hell and was between gods and ghosts - Reeves. She fantasized about meeting that super Hollywood mixed - race star, developing an extraordinary love affair, and then he would take her back to the modern world... Wow kaka... Wan Ou, lost in her fantasies, couldn't help but chuckle.

A glimmer of firelight reddened the cold and eerie palace.

"Prince!" Qi Xuan led the confidants of the prince's mansion into the graveyard, hoping it was still not too late to stop all this from happening. "Everyone make marks and search for the prince along the routes I've assigned. Remember, don't touch anything in the palace casually."

The imperial mausoleum was an extremely secret project. Not to mention that Qi Xuan was the most trusted guard by DuGu Lue's side, even DuGu Lue himself, the Lord of the Wolf - Controlling Region, had never seen the blueprints. It was extremely difficult to find someone in a maze without an exit!

But they believed in their prince. He would never say - no easily.

Everyone searched back and forth in the winding palace, and a solemn and strict cold air rushed towards them.

Wan Ou, who had fallen asleep again in her fantasies, finally woke up, shivering from the cold. Because of the devil's excessive desires last night, she didn't have the strength to run far today. Now, after a good sleep, she had regained some strength, but her stomach was growling with hunger.

Why had it been dark for so long? Wan Ou, who was always calm, couldn't help but tremble. When did she start to become restless?

Was it because of that wolf?

Just thinking of those green eyes, she involuntarily curled up. There were white particles with phosphorescence floating in the air. Wan Ou was so scared that her soul almost left her body. Under the blue light of the phosphorescence, these white particles were faintly visible and seemed to be slowly gathering into a mass.

This was... the breath of the devil!

The black mists on both sides gradually converged, and the Gate of Hell slowly opened, but there was no Hellboy detective Reeves as in the legend.

Wan Ou, lying on the golden bed, let out a scream. "I've never done anything bad... Don't take me to hell... No..."
