I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Li Chen nodded, acknowledging Luo Zixi's quirky ideas.

After glancing at her daughter, Luo Jiazi secretly looked at Li Chen. When she saw Li Chen's gaze linger on Luo Xi's tail for a moment, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Luo Zixi had told her that Li Chen was indifferent by nature, and even when he was interested in something, he would at most glance at it a few more times. If Li Chen was satisfied, the storm would come even more fiercely.

Li Chen stared at it for a full two seconds! Thinking of the feeling of rain after a long drought last night, Luo Jiazi felt a surge of excitement. Being able to lift the restriction on her daughter and allow her, as the mother, to enjoy human relations at the same time was all thanks to this little gadget!

Soon, a scene of hunters chasing a transformed demon unfolded inside the house, with cries of "Don't pull my tail!", "Please let me go!", "I don't want to die!", and "We're willing to die for my daughter!" echoing for a long time.

Meanwhile, in the front yard of Hongmen Villa.

A woman in her thirties, wearing a gold hairpin and loose, luxurious clothes that still couldn't hide her voluptuous figure, walked into Hongmen Manor with a cold face, her clothes swaying with every step she took.

She was Qin Hong's legal wife, named Gu Xiangling. Because she couldn't stand Qin Hong's behavior, she angrily took her daughter and went back to her parents' home.

Gu Xiangling came from a small mountain village less than a hundred miles away, but her maternal clan was not as powerful as the Hongmen Manor of today. This is why she had always swallowed her anger and let Qin Hong do whatever he wanted.

A few days ago, her family received a letter from Qin Hong that was tactful but full of threats. Under pressure, Gu Xiangling had no choice but to return to Hongmen Manor.

As soon as she stepped inside, Gu Xiangling sensed something was wrong. The servants and guards who used to treat her with utmost respect were now looking at her with either amusement or staring at her chest with lust.

In the past, if these people dared to show such an expression, Qin Hong would have gouged out their eyes.

Gu Xiangling sensed something was wrong and immediately tried to walk outside, but she was stopped by two guards on either side of the gate.

"What are you two lackeys doing? Aren't you afraid of running into my master and having him kill you to vent his anger?!"

Gu Xiangling frowned. She had absolute confidence in her chest. Even if Qin Hong had a new love, he would never give up her arrogant and flamboyant chest, and he would never allow anyone to touch it even by accident!
"Haha, Madam, why don't you go and see the head of the family yourself?"

The servant sneered, not taking it seriously at all, but he did not make a move against Gu Xiangling, and simply stood silently in front of the door.

Gu Xiangling frowned and quickly led her daughter to the study where Qin Hong used to handle family affairs. However, the person sitting at the desk was not Qin Hong, but Qin Hong's younger brother, Qin Zhan!
"Qin Zhan, who told you to sit here? Where's your brother?"

Gu Xiangling's face immediately turned cold. Qin Hong valued this position extremely highly, and even she couldn't sit on it for even a moment. It was as if, in Qin Hong's eyes, this was the position of the master of Hongmen Manor.

Qin Zhan hadn't expected his sister-in-law to appear at this time.

Upon hearing this, he gave a cold laugh, clapped his hands, and said, "Since you want to see my brother, then I'll take my sister-in-law to see him!"

"Yes!" The maid waiting beside her immediately gestured for Gu Xiangling to enter.

Gu Xiangling was uneasy. She knew that Qin Zhan and Qin Hong had a grudge. Since Qin Zhan was sitting here, Qin Hong must have gotten into trouble.

Led by her maid, Gu Xiangling soon spotted Qin Hong, who was imprisoned in a room and looked utterly desperate.

Although she didn't understand how Qin Zhan could imprison Qin Hong, she had to accept the fact that perhaps reality wasn't what she had imagined.

After Qin Zhan showed Gu Xiangling Qin Hong, he immediately ordered his servants to lock Gu Xiangling in her original room.

Gu Xiangling's appearance inspired Qin Zhan to come up with a plan.

He quickly arrived at the courtyard where Li Chen was. Hearing the sounds coming from inside the room, Qin Zhan waited with envy for two hours. Saint Realm experts truly lived up to their reputation as the most powerful beings in the world; even their abilities in this area were beyond the reach of most.

While Qin Zhan was secretly probing, he cautiously stepped forward and said to Li Chen, "Sir, I have prepared breakfast for you. Please move to the front yard. Also, I have something I'm unsure about, so I came to ask you: should we continue with the treacherous competition that Qin Hong prepared?"

Qin Zhan tried to keep his words concise, afraid of displeasing this Saint Realm expert. He could be arrogant in front of the other experts in Hongmen Manor, but when facing Li Chen, he could only be the most humble dog by Li Chen's side.

Perhaps he didn't know Li Chen's true identity, otherwise he would have felt honored to be Li Chen's dog.

"You can decide this yourself."

Li Chen raised an eyebrow slightly; he had absolutely no interest in this.

In other words, he was ready to make arrangements for all the competitions he was supposed to participate in.

Qin Zhan turned pale with fright, his knees buckled, and he knelt on the ground, hurriedly saying, "I understand, I understand."

There was no other way; since Li Chen could help him become the head of the family, he could easily find someone else in the Qin family to take that position.

"My lord, there is one more matter I would like to ask you to decide." Qin Zhan began his plan to curry favor.

He learned from the servants that there had been constant singing in the courtyard last night, and he deduced what Li Chen's hobby was.

He was somewhat surprised when Gu Xiangling and her daughter arrived.

Seeing Gu Xiangling's full breasts, every man would have impure thoughts, and he came up with a plan.

I was just worried about not having a chance to curry favor with that Saint Realm expert, isn't this the perfect opportunity?
It's not that he's not lustful, but now is not the time to be. The key is to secure his position as the head of the family.

"Oh? Is there anything else?" Li Chen asked, frowning.

"My lord, please come with me. Let's talk as we walk." Qin Zhan knew that Li Chen would definitely like this!

Meanwhile, Gu Xiangling and her daughter hesitated in their room. They thought they would face Qin Hong's tyranny upon their return, but Qin Hong was imprisoned and Qin Zhan took over.

"Mother, what should we do?"

Gu Xiangling's daughter, Qin Xinqiao, had a delicate face with furrowed brows and a pair of foxy eyes filled with seriousness.

In less than half a month, she went from being the high and mighty young lady of Hongmen Manor to a prisoner of Hongmen Manor.

Gu Xiangling sighed and reached out to stroke her daughter's hair to comfort her, saying, "Your second uncle probably won't do anything to you, after all, you are blood relatives."

She wasn't really sure when she said that.

"And what about you, Mother?" Qin Xinqiao gritted her teeth. Her mother was beautiful, and she was under house arrest here. She knew what was going to happen to her without even thinking about it.

I, Gu Xiangling, didn't know what to do either. Should I compromise for the sake of my daughter?

Just as she was struggling with her inner turmoil, she heard footsteps outside the door, which made her tremble!
