Murong Xue explained everything to him and added, "It's your fault. If you had shown up earlier, I would not have asked for trouble."

Lin Yang felt speechless that Murong Xue blamed it on him.

"Okay. You take care of it. Since you are on my side now, you can't keep in touch with the three countries. You seem to have a history with all of them. You'd better end it quickly." Standing up, Lin Yang felt exhausted after a stressful day.

"I see." Murong Xue knew what he meant. Different from Wang Qing, Jiu Yan lent her a hand before.

Lin Yang went upstairs. After a while, Murong Xue went to the main room on the third floor to rest.

Soon afterward, a dark shadow passed Feng Ziling's room, went downstairs, and walked outside.

However, there was heavy security outside, and guards patrolling were everywhere. The black shadow gritted his teeth and went back to the room. Closing the door, he went back to sleep quietly. Nobody noticed him.

The following day, the first thing Murong Xue did after getting up was to check on Feng Ziling.

"Ziling, how do you feel now? Are you okay?" Murong Xue looked at the one lying on the bed with a worried face.

Feng Ziling tried to sit up and gave a gasp of pain from touching his wounds.

Murong Xue stopped him with haste. "You are injured. You need to rest. Don't get up." Then she took out healing pills and the spiritual water and gave them to him.

Feng Ziling took over the pills and water, but he did not take them.

Murong Xue said, "Take them and you'll be better."

Feng Ziling answered, "I will have them later."

Murong Xue paused for a moment. "Why is your voice husky? What did they do to you?" Thinking of his wounds, Murong Xue changed her face. The wounds were not fatal, but they looked horrific.

"They forced me to drink a glass of water and then my voice became like this. Does it sound terrible?"

Murong Xue's eyes turned red, she apologized, "Sorry, Ziling. It's my fault."

Feng Ziling said stiffly, "Never mind. You're okay and that's what matters."

Murong Xue wiped the tears from her eyes. "Ziling, wait for me. I'll get you the breakfast."

When Murong Xue left, Feng Ziling took out a piece of paper and used it to wrap up the pills, hiding it in the pocket of his clothes' inner side. He drank the water she gave him, and then his eyes widened with surprise and flashed melancholy. If Murong Xue had been there, she would have found him very strange.

Murong Xue went downstairs and met Lin Yang who just got up.

"How about your friend? Has he woken up now?"

"Yeah. I'm going to make breakfast. What do you want?"

Lin Yang doubted, "You can cook? I'm afraid of getting food poisoning."

"You can eat or you can starve." Murong Xue rolled her eyes at him and went to the kitchen on the first floor. The kitchen was so clean that she knew no one had cooked there before. More importantly, she did not find gas. And obviously, this world had no electricity.

Lin Yang followed her downstairs and leaned against the door, laughing. "Why don't you start cooking now? Just do it." He was gloating.

Murong Xue asked with an annoyed look, "You don't cook? Then why do you have a kitchen here?"

"I can have a kitchen and never cook. There are no such rules." Lin Yang had wanted to cook his own meals for convenience, but he found it troublesome to cook with firewood in this backward world. So he chose to eat with his guards to save time. The servants at the governor's residence had tried to make Lin Yang eat alone, but he insisted on having meals with the guards to waste no food.

Murong Xue said sarcastically, "So the kitchen is here only for display?"

Lin Yang smiled. "Bingo. How do you know?"

"I have no time to waste on you." Murong Xue entered the Space.

Lin Yang stood still, speechless. The Space Murong Xue had was a miracle and invincible weapon in his eyes. With it, she could disappear anytime she wanted.

After a few minutes, Murong Xue showed up with their breakfast when Lin Yang was going to leave. Seeing her out of nowhere again, he felt astonished and cried, "You are a bug from the virtual world. How can you finish making breakfast in a few minutes? Where did you get the food?"

Puzzled, Lin Yang touched her clothes to look for clues.

"Get out of my way." Murong Xue gave him a kick without hesitation, almost spilling the congee in her hands.

Carefully, she put down the bowl on the table and took out several side dishes, filling the kitchen with a delicious smell.

The kitchen seemed deserted, but there were still food bowls and chopsticks. Murong Xue washed the dishes and filled three bowls of congee. Taking one bowl of congee and some of the side dishes in a tray, she said to Lin Yang while walking upstairs, "There is your breakfast. Just eat."

Lin Yang felt hungry the moment the delicious smell reached his nose. He did not hesitate to take up the bowl and start eating. He was in a hurry, so he finished his breakfast standing up. He ate the delicious congee so fast that he almost bit his tongue. He was delighted that Murong Xue finally did something useful. He did not expect her to be a good cook since she looked like someone from a wealthy family.

"Eat something. Take a rest today. No need to get up."

Feng Ziling lifted his head and Murong Xue hurried to help him sit up. The refreshing smell of fragrance reached his nose and made him start coughing.

Murong Xue patted him on the back and asked worriedly, "Are you feeling better now? Do you have a cold?"

"I'm fine." Feng Ziling waved his hand hastily and held his breath to calm himself down.

"Okay. Eat and rest here. I need to leave for work now."

Feng Ziling nodded and took over the bowl. "Where are you going?"

Murong Xue explained, "I need to help Lin Yang make something. Do you know Lin Yang? He is the governor of Black City, who saved you last night."

"Then I'll go with you."

"You have not recovered yet. Let's talk about it when you are ready. Bye." Murong Xue smiled and left.

With the door closed, Murong Xue's smile faded because she found Feng Ziling very strange today. She was too worried to notice that last night and she only hoped that she was overthinking it.

Walking to the kitchen, she saw Lin Yang burping beside empty bowls, feeling speechless.

Lin Yang said confidently, "I ate too much before I could notice it. You can make some more for yourself. There is not enough to eat."

Murong Xue said coldly, "Well done."

Murong Xue did not bother with it. She just took out some fruits from the Space and started eating after washing them.

"Let's go to your weapon factory first."

Walking side by side with her, Lin Yang asked, "Okay. How about me buying you breakfast? Fruits are not enough."

Murong Xue squinted at him. "They are not ordinary fruits. Here. Have a try."

Lin Yang was full, but he took over the fruit and started devouring it as it looked very delicious. After the first bite, he could not control himself. He could not understand why everything Murong Xue gave him was so tasty.

"You..."

"Don't ask me. You won't understand." Murong Xue interrupted him.

"How do you know what I want to ask?"

"Only idiots don't."

"But you are an idiot and you know."

"You want a spanking?"

Talking and laughing, the two left the house. When there was some distance between them and the house, Murong Xue pretended to turn her head back casually and noticed a black shadow flashing by from the corner of her eye.

With a sneer, she reached out to pull Lin Yang and whispered, "Keep smiling. I need to tell you something."

Lin Yang understood immediately. He remained a smiling face and whispered back, "What's wrong?"

"The one we saved may be our enemy."

Lin Yang did not change his face and pretended to be still joshing her. "Let's go to a safe place first. Don't worry. The house is being closely watched, so he will only expose himself if he comes out."

"Good."

Lin Yang became serious the moment they entered a locked meeting room. "What's going on?"

"He is not my friend." Murong Xue was certain.

"If so, why didn't you tell me last night?"

"I didn't notice that last night. They look exactly the same and there is no trace of disguise. It's a perfect disguise."

"He must come here to spy. How about us going with his plan?"

"I'm thinking the same, but I'm worried about Feng Ziling. I don't know where he is now."

Lin Yang found the rescue last night too easily, but he did not see the way things would pan out like this. "Don't worry. I'll send my men to look into it. I promise we can find him as long as he is still in Black City."

"Okay. You are our only hope now." If Feng Ziling had not lost the spiritual power that could protect him, she would not have been so worried.
