Time Travel: Pampered by the Aloof Prince

Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Are You That Afraid of Me?

Li Mingjue noticed her eyes suddenly became sharp, the corners of her mouth curling into a faint smile, and asked, “Why do you say that, Princess?”

Once Qi Yu entered her role, her whole aura changed.

She analyzed calmly, “Actually, we have always been mistaken. The creator of this illusion is not the City Lord, but the Ghost Envoy.”

Li Mingjue did not immediately respond, but waited for her to continue.

He must admit, he quite enjoyed seeing Qi Yu with a cold face.

As beautiful as a peach and as cold as frost, nothing more than that.

Deep in thought, Qi Yu did not notice his gaze and continued, “Although it seems that the City Lord is the one giving orders, the Ghost Envoy is the one who can decide the course of events. Moreover, people in the Ghost City also said that they can’t see the City Lord outside of the palace. There could be two reasons for this: one is that the City Lord does not like to show herself and stays only within the palace. Second, she might not be able to leave the palace. I think the latter is more likely.”

At this point, she paused and looked at Li Mingjue.

Li Mingjue understood she was asking for his opinion and immediately nodded, “Indeed. Moreover, the City Lord has threatened many times to kill us, but she never truly acted, not even showing a hint of intent to kill. Even when I said that killing her was the only way out of here, her reaction was quite strange.”

He paused, then added cautiously, “Not like she was angry…”

“Rather, it seemed like she was expecting it.” Qi Yu finished his thought and added, “Killing her, perhaps, was also a form of release for her.”
