After being reborn, I stole the female lead's cheat ability and raised the empress.

Chapter 48 A Bad Premonition

Along the way, Ali was still thinking about how to infiltrate the Imperial Preceptor's residence, so she didn't say much. Yu Yang thought she was angry, so he didn't dare to breathe loudly, and the atmosphere became somewhat silent for a moment.

After a while, Yu Yang asked cautiously, "You seemed to have something on your mind. What were you thinking about?"

A-Li subconsciously replied, "I was thinking about how to sneak into the Imperial Preceptor's residence." The words had barely left her mouth when she realized, "Oh no! I didn't realize I'd blurted it out. What should I do? Maybe... I should imprison Yu Yang first?"

Ali looked up, glaring at Yu Yang, considering the possibility of controlling him.

Yu Yang, however, had no idea what she was thinking. Instead, he was thinking about the opportunity to be alone with Ali, so without thinking, he said, "Simple, I know the place well, I'll take you there."

Upon hearing this, Ali was taken aback, a look of suspicion flashing across her face: "You know her?"

Yu Yang realized he had misspoke and quickly corrected himself:

"I was there not long ago, I know it very well." I live in the Imperial Preceptor's residence, of course I know it very well.

"What are you going to do?"

"Go...find what I want."

Ali was taken aback at first, then thought that since he had sneaked into the Gu Mansion at night, he might have also been to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.

Her face lit up with joy: "Really? That's wonderful!"

Having a common goal is enough.

Yu Yang looked at her in confusion: "???"

Ali explained, "I also went to the Imperial Preceptor's residence to look for something. Did you find yours?"

Yu Yang was thinking that he had found it, but he said aloud, "No."

Ah Li happily extended her hand: "That's great! Let's work together, cover for each other, and each find our own way. It'll be a pleasure working together."

Yu Yang looked at Ali's outstretched hand, slowly took it, but his expression was somewhat dazed.

Back on Earth, the boss did the same thing, shaking his hand and smiling, saying, "From now on, you'll be my personal assistant. It'll be a pleasure working with you!"

Ah Li, however, did not notice his expression and was still happy that she had been able to sneak into the Imperial Preceptor's mansion so easily.

What great luck!

Hmm, the atmosphere is a bit awkward.

Her gaze fell on their hands, and she quickly withdrew her hand, as if she felt it was inappropriate. She then said, "I hope we can both find what we want."

"...Good luck." He had originally wanted to find a way back to her, but now that she was by his side, he no longer needed to.

How could he be angry with her? She has never liked men getting close to her; she has never even shaken hands with her father.

But he was the only man she had ever had physical contact with. That was wonderful.

Yu Yang lowered his head to avoid A-Li seeing his flushed face: "What do you want?"

"Emmm... I want to go to the secret realm and get the Purple Thunder God Whip. What about you?" Ali hadn't planned to tell the truth, but then she thought better of it and decided to just say it to avoid the two of them wanting the same thing and plotting against each other behind their backs.

"Oh, well, I'm also going to the secret realm to find some extinct medicinal herbs." Yu Yang scratched the back of his head and quickly made up his goal.

Ali breathed a sigh of relief: "Phew, that's good, we won't clash. Hehe."

Her bright smile made Yu Yang's heart skip a beat. He couldn't resist the urge to lean in and kiss Ali's radiant profile.

But she immediately snapped out of it, pretended to trip, and crawled forward, flailing her arms wildly. Luckily, she grabbed Ali's arms and managed to steady herself: "Oops, I slipped, I'm sorry."

"...It's nothing." Ali didn't pay any attention to this little incident.

Yu Yang gave himself a thumbs up in his mind. Luckily, he reacted quickly, otherwise he might have been blacklisted by his boss.

That's how the phrase "as steady as an old dog" came about.

Ali asked, "Shall we go to Manxianglou after we pay the bill?"

"Don't you need to prepare anything?"

"What's there to prepare? I'm definitely not going to die." The main problem is, she really doesn't have anything to prepare. She's only just arrived in this world; she has no power, no treasures, and nothing of her own.

"Uh... okay. I'll go after I pay."

Having resolved a major issue, Ali was in an exceptionally good mood, humming a song as she skipped and hopped towards Manxianglou.

Yu Yang followed behind her, a smile unconsciously appearing on his lips. Seeing that she was in a good mood made him feel good too.

At this moment, Yu Yang, who was grinning foolishly, had no idea what precious thing he had just missed.

If he knew what Ali was thinking just now, he would probably regret bringing her into the Imperial Preceptor's mansion.

He would definitely be willing to be imprisoned by Ali's side so he could see her every day.

Ali was skipping and jumping around when suddenly a bad premonition struck her. Her heart pounded as if struck by lightning. Her legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

Oh no! My body seems to be out of control!

Ali watched helplessly as she deviated from her original route and headed towards another street, only stopping when she saw a group of people in the middle of the street.

Looking around, one sees a triumphant army, full of high spirits and returning in triumph.

The one riding at the head of the group was a handsome young man in his early twenties, head held high, one hand holding the reins and the other behind his back. He had an air of profound mystery about him.

His handsome face, with its sharply defined features and cold expression, was bathed in the gentle afternoon light, which cast wisps of smoke-like mist before his eyes. His deep gaze, hidden within these wisps, was unfathomable. Those eyes revealed a profound depth of thought, making it impossible for others to fathom his true intentions. Such a person inspired fear and dread.

People around him kept cheering, "Welcome back to the capital, Crown Prince!"

Ali was so shocked her mouth could have fit two eggs: The... the Crown Prince? The male protagonist of this book, Xuan Yuansheng? A peerless genius with unfathomable strength? She looked at the male protagonist again.

I have to admit, the male lead is extremely handsome, and she was really smitten. But between Yi Yangqianxi and my life, I'd choose the latter.

No matter how beautiful something is, it's not as important as my life.

Ali shivered all over. No, no, I have to stay far away from this person.

Thinking this to herself, she stretched one foot out behind her...

But then! The foot suddenly turned and walked uncontrollably toward Xuan Yuansheng.

Ali's inner monologue: "Hey! What's going on? I was clearly trying to back away, who wanted to get closer to him? I don't want to die!"

But she still watched helplessly as she stood before Xuan Yuansheng, not only that, she pointed at him arrogantly and said, "Hey! I've taken a liking to you. Do you have feelings for me?"

Ah Li thought to herself: "Oh my god! What kind of indecent things have I been saying?! Heavens!"

Xuan Yuansheng, sitting opposite him, was taken aback at first, then spat out a single word with disgust: "Get lost!"

Unexpectedly, Ali became more determined after each setback, and tried to touch the male lead's hand holding the reins, saying, "It's okay if you don't like me, I will always like you!"

And you, too, will definitely be captivated by me!
