That man, really cannot be taken lightly! He got his hands on me again! It seemed that ZiLi had to run far away quickly, or if he was not careful, he would be torn to the bone and eaten by him!
On the way back, ZiLi was covered in soaking wet clothes and his boots made a soggy sound with every step. With that, a hint of fleeing in defeat was inevitably carried. It was already dark, so he quickly returned to the small courtyard where he was temporarily staying, and changed into clean clothes. His stomach started to rumble.
Are you kidding? I mean, even if there is discrimination of my status, it’s not like you can’t even get a meal, right! ZiLi had no alternative but to sit on the table 1 and pour a cup of tea to suppress his hunger.
After waiting for a while, still no one had brought food. Being really hungry, ZiLi got up in annoyance, stomped to the door, opened it and walked out.
“This was really a case like the tiger leaving its mountain, falling into the flat lands to be trapped, and getting bullied by a dog 2 , ah. Those damn monks and those damn eunuchs, do they really dare to mistreat the great me 3 ?” ZiLi, who was still growing, had an absolute obsession with food and no one could stop that. He could let anyone down, but not his stomach!

The lights of the temple were visible far away on the horizon, but ZiLi, who had no lighting tools with him, could only grope his way forward in the pitch darkness.
“Nghh, ah― don’t. My Lord 4 , Jing Wu― Jing Wu still has to deliver dinner to His Highness of Bei Ling――”
“So what, His Highness of Bei Ling is nothing more than a hostage and a male pet!”
“My cute baby, call me daddy――”
“Daddy, ah― ah―”

ZiLi, who was crouched outside the door, was so angry that his teeth itched. What a couple of a dog man and dog woman 6 , I mean, two dog men. How dare they skip my dinner and do these dirty things here? Who the hell is that shit of a Lord? How dare he contemptuously accuse me of being a hostage and a male pet? The most offensive words come from the mouths of others, making them even more hurtful. ZiLi, trying to hold back his heart full of anger, kicked open the door.
“Who are you?” the two people, who were in the thick of making love, immediately stopped all movements and asked in terror.

When he heard ZiLi’s words, he became frightened out of his mind, not only was it inevitable that his father would beat him up good if he knew about it, but this, if it became known that he was doing such a thing as making love in the Imperial Temple during His Majesty’s Purification Ceremony, he would also be charged with the punishment of being skinned alive! So, how could he not be terrified?
It was only at that moment that WanQi DongMing secretly cursed himself for being so lustful. How could he screw things up like that! But on second thought, the person who had come had not secretly run away to report the matter after finding out, but offhandedly interrupted and threatened them, indicating that the person did not really want to go and report them to His Majesty. In that case, the reason why the person who had come here had done so was most likely to reap benefits! As long as this affair would not get leaked, WanQi DongMing, was more than willing to give anything to keep the other person’s mouth shut!
So, he quickly straightened his clothes and said flatteringly to the person standing at the door, “Sir, please cultivate your good heart and don’t reveal what happened today. To thank you for your great kindness and virtue, my humble self will definitely repay you, even if my humble self loses a family fortune, Sir!”

ZiLi raised his eyebrows and looked at him disdainfully, but the proposal of this shit of a Lord was exactly what he wanted.
“Hey, you, don’t light the lamps.” ZiLi chided Jing Wu, who had walked to the table to grab the Flame Stick 9 .

“What about the bronze token to enter and exit the city gates?” ZiLi had to remind him.
“Eh― oh, right.” WanQi DongMing immediately complied with the instructions to give the bronze token, but could not help but wonder in his heart, Why does he also want a piece of worthless bronze?
With the things he had just gotten ahold of, ZiLi felt he was one step closer to a successful escape.
