Jiujiu, who was originally beautiful and innocent, now looked so aggrieved, even the hard-hearted secret guard softened her heart at this moment.
"If Her Royal Highness is really hungry, I can go and get some snacks for the princess. However, the princess must promise her not to walk around, look at the lake or touch the water below..."
Hearing the secret guard's agreement, Jiujiu's eyes immediately lit up.
"Yeah, I won't wander around. Thank you, Brother Secret Guard."
The secret guard looked at him several times before leaving.
After seeing no one around, Jiujiu squatted down and looked at the lake...
At this glance, a mysterious aura rushed into her mind, and the voice was full of temptation, hypnotizing her to jump into the lake...
Unfortunately, that mysterious aura was too insignificant for Jiujiu. Not only did it not hypnotize Jiujiu, it actually allowed Jiujiu to control the aura.
Suddenly, the lake water changed.
The surface of the lake, which was originally filled with white smoke, now turned strangely red, and the calm lake water also stirred up turbulent waves.
If Susukino Ming's men and horses saw this scene at this time, they would definitely be so shocked that their eyes would bulge.
You know, the reason why Susukino Mei built his palace here is entirely because of the moon-shaped lake.
This moon-shaped lake is related to a treasure left over from ancient times. As long as the formation of this moon-shaped lake can be opened, the secret passage to the treasure location hidden in this moon-shaped lake can be opened.
The changes in the lake water are exactly the changes when the moon-shaped lake formation was first opened...
The existence of this treasure is known to the kings of all countries, and they also secretly send people to constantly search for it...
However, the royal families of various countries only know that the formation of this treasure is located in a lake, but they do not know the location and shape of the lake.
It was also an accident that Susukino accidentally discovered that the moon-shaped lake was the location of the legendary ancient treasure. So Susukino used the power of the Demon Palace to build this leisurely residence in the moon-shaped lake.
Originally, he thought he could break through the formation by finding the formation eye, but the strange cup worms in the lake left him helpless...
Fortunately, he is not in a hurry to hunt for treasures, and the strange existence of the worms is a natural protective barrier for him. He cannot touch this formation, and the same goes for others...
This formation not only caused him trouble, it also saved him a lot of trouble.
At this time, this formation that gave Susukino Ming a headache was activated by Jiujiu easily...
Jiujiu watched the strange changes in the lake, and her eyes widened in surprise.
Suddenly, a warm voice came into her mind.
'I have been waiting for you for a long time. My destined person, go and enter the lake. My cup worm will take you to find my treasure. There, countless wealth will belong to you.
My destined person.'
When Jiujiu heard this voice, he was stunned for a moment. This feeling was so familiar.
That voice gradually exited Jiujiu's mind, and the surrounding lake water also calmed down from the turbulence, and the moon-shaped lake returned to its original appearance.
Jiujiu looked down at the lake and saw a white and transparent cup worm emerging from the water.
If Jiujiu hadn't been able to sense these things, we wouldn't have been able to detect these worms that surfaced.
Jiujiu communicated with them quietly using the language that these cup insects could understand.
The Gu Chong seemed very happy that Jiujiu could communicate with them, and they all chirped in answer to Jiujiu's questions.
Jiujiu remembered Guo Chong's answers carefully in her mind. Just when she was about to ask something, suddenly the two secret guards came back.
Before they even stepped onto the corridor, they saw Jiujiu squatting on the edge of the corridor from a distance, looking down at the lake below the corridor...
The two secret guards looked at each other in shock and screamed, "Princess, quickly, get out of there..."
If anything unexpected happens to the princess at this time, the two of them will not be able to explain it to their master even if they die ten thousand times...
Jiujiu was frightened by the sudden screams of the two secret guards. Her feet slipped and she fell heavily into the lake, causing a splash of water...
"Jiujiu..." Susukino Ming, who had rushed over after finishing his work, saw this scene, his heart almost rose to his throat, and he ran over in panic...
However, it was already too late. Jiujiu, who fell into the lake, had already disappeared without a trace.
"no, do not want……"
Seeing Jiujiu disappearing into the lake, Susukino let out a mournful roar like a trapped animal. His miserable look was so intense and frightening, as if his heart and lungs had been torn apart, and the two secret guards next to him were stinging.
.
They knew that their master loved the princess very much, and knew that their master really liked the princess, but they did not expect that their master was so affectionate towards the princess...
Seeing Susukino's grief-stricken look, the two secret guards knelt down in front of Susukino. "This subordinate deserves death. He failed to fulfill his duty to protect the princess. Master, please give me death."
Susukino, whose veins were exposed and his eyes were red, stared fiercely at the two kneeling people. His body was trembling slightly because of deep grief and anger.
Pointing at the two secret guards, Susukino endured the murderous intent in his heart and gritted his teeth at the two secret guards: "I don't want to pursue this matter right now. You guys stay here for me until I come back."
I’ll punish you further.”
After saying that, Susukino Ming jumped up and jumped into the lake without hesitation...
"Master——" The two secret guards saw this scene and shouted in panic.
The princess has already fallen into the lake for a long time. The master is afraid that if he jumps in now...
The voices of these two secret guards alerted the other secret guards and the hall masters of the Demon Palace who had not dispersed in the secret palace.
At this time, these people jumped up and ran towards the Moon-shaped Lake. They looked at the two secret guards kneeling on the corridor. Their faces were full of unconcealable sadness, and their eyes were so red that there were tears...
…
The expressions of these two secret guards made the subsequent secret guards and hall masters also look panicked.
Could it be that something happened to the master?
Among them, the man in black who was leading the secret guards stepped forward and asked the two of them in a deep voice. "Shadow Seven, Shadow Thirty-Two, what is going on?"
The two secret guards raised their heads, gritted their teeth and told them everything.
When everyone heard that Jiujiu fell into the moon-shaped lake, the change in their expressions was not obvious, but after hearing that Susukino Ming jumped after him, the faces of these people all showed expressions of grief and despair.
Did their master just... die here?
No, they never believed that their god-like master would be trapped by a worm in this mere lake?
The man in black who was in charge of the secret guards was the first to calm down. He ordered the secret guards on the field: "All secret guards obey the order and prepare to enter the lake to look for traces of the master and the princess."
"yes."
Just when all the secret guards were ready and about to jump into the lake, suddenly the lake surface changed.
"Look at the lake, there are bubbles there."
As one person's voice fell, all eyes fell on the bubble.
"It must be the master. All secret guards are ready to pull the master up..."
"No need, I'm here." Susukino Ming's cold voice interrupted the secret guard.
"master……"
Everyone looked at Susukino Ming who appeared on the lake, shouting with ecstasy.
Suo Yeming jumped up from the lake, stood in front of a group of secret guards, and coldly ordered: "Pass on my order and dispatch all the plainclothes guards to secretly search for the whereabouts of the princess. Remember, don't alert anyone...
…”
When they heard Susukino Mei's order, the secret guards were stunned for a moment.
The master said this, could it be...
The secret guards of Susukino, who were trusted by Susukino, all knew the secret of Moon-Shaped Lake. When they heard their master's instructions, they quickly reacted.
The formation of the Moon-shaped Lake was cracked by the princess. At this time, the princess must be in the secret passage leading to the treasure, so the master came up alone...
The secret guards hesitated for a moment, and then they all nodded excitedly and answered, "Yes, Master."
Unexpectedly, the moon-shaped lake formation that they tried so hard to break was broken by the princess unintentionally. Your Highness is indeed the master's lucky star.
The secret guards who were originally a little repulsive towards Jiujiu, now all of them agreed with Jiujiu from the bottom of their hearts.
Except for Susukino Ming, these secret guards have never identified with anyone. Jiujiu is the first and last one.
After the secret guards left, Susukino looked at the master of the Demon Palace Palace and said coldly: "The affairs of the Demon Palace are in the hands of the Master of the Punishment Hall. The people of the Dark Soul Hall will keep an eye on Liu Xun for me."
"Yes, Master."
After watching these hall masters leave, Susukino once again looked at the moon-shaped lake with broken eyes.
The water in the lake remained the same, but his heart felt empty.
Jiujiu, don't let anything happen to you. Just wait for me and I will definitely find you!
