Chapter 160 I am an abandoned baby
Then she wrote a small note using the code that Prince Qing had taught her to use with the Empress, and tied it to the little mouse's hind leg.
"Find the owner of the jade pendant and find a way to deliver the letter to her," she said to the little mouse.
The little mouse's eyes darted around.
Bai Jiyue quickly flattered it: "A spirit beast as powerful as you can definitely handle such a small matter, right?"
The little mouse immediately raised its head and squeaked.
Bai Jiyue continued to tempt her: "Once this is done, I'll buy you lots of delicious food!"
The little mouse's eyes did brighten a bit, but it still seemed a little unsatisfied.
"Oh, I'll even find you a female mouse!"
The little mouse excitedly spun around in circles several times.
Bai Jiyue patted Mingyuan on the shoulder: "I'm leaving this to you!"
Mingyuan: "..."
Has the Demon Lord been reduced to searching for female rats all over the mountains and fields?
To ensure the mission could be completed, Bai Jiyue whispered a long story in the little mouse's ear about the Empress's appearance.
Ordinary mice certainly wouldn't be able to distinguish appearances, but this is a mythical beast, so there's no harm in saying a few more words.
Even the little mouse got a little impatient in the end, and gently bit Bai Jiyue's hand with its teeth. Bai Jiyue then rubbed her slightly sore finger and smiled, saying, "Alright, I won't say anymore. You can go now! Our success depends on you. If we succeed, you'll be our hero mouse!"
Always remember to flatter others.
After saying that, he didn't forget to promise: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep my promise to you afterwards."
The little mouse squeaked to indicate its satisfaction.
Then Bai Jiyue and Mingyuan took the little mouse to the palace and released it in the closest possible spot where it wouldn't be spotted by the guards.
The little mouse ran very fast and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
The night was long, and the two hid in the tree, waiting quietly.
Bai Jiyue sat on a tree branch, her legs dangling and swaying gently, exuding a rare sense of leisure.
She looked up at the sky and saw the bright, round moon. She couldn't help but exclaim, "The moon is so beautiful!"
Mingyuan sat beside her, listening to Bai Jiyue speak, while he also looked up at the sky.
The moon on the Abyss Continent is different from that on the Clear Blue Continent. Although it also has phases, the moon on the Abyss Continent is blood red.
The rounder and larger the moon, the deeper the crimson hue bathes the entire world.
He had never thought there was anything wrong with the blood-red moon before, but tonight, compared to the moon with its clear yellow light, it did seem to lack a sense of warmth.
Her soft voice echoed in my ears: "From ancient times to the present, everything is fleeting, only this full moon is eternal."
She thought about the era she lived in, and although she was all alone there, looking back now, it felt like home.
Thinking of her hometown, she suddenly thought of Mingyuan and turned to look at him: "Mingyuan, where is your hometown?"
"I have no hometown."
"You don't have a place where you were born and raised?" Bai Jiyue asked, somewhat surprised.
"I was an abandoned child. I don't know who my parents are. I've been a wanderer since I was little." The Demon Lord lied without any guilt.
After they finished speaking, a silence fell between them.
Bai Jiyue felt that she had suffered enough in the modern world, but she never expected that Mingyuan was even more miserable than her.
Both of them were orphans and unloved, but at least she had no worries about food and clothing. She became a spy but possessed many skills, so she didn't have to worry about surviving.
Not only was he unloved, but he also had to struggle to survive. When he was small and powerless, he must have suffered countless cold stares and bullying.
