Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 322 Three women and one drama
Meanwhile, candles were lit in Suzaku's residence, illuminating several figures inside.

The person speaking lowered their voice, acting furtively and covertly, clearly hiding something.

Since Zhuque and Yunyi broke through that barrier, there were no more secrets between them. The reason she was so cautious was because a girl in pink suddenly emerged from the peach blossom mark between Ye Nianyi's eyebrows.

Who else could it be but Nangong Zhuozhuo?

Upon seeing this troublemaker, and given that she was currently in Crescent Moon City, those unbearable memories instantly resurfaced, leaving Suzaku with a complex expression.

Nangong Zhuozhuo said with displeasure, "What's wrong? Are you not happy to see me?!"

Zhuque smiled wryly and said, "It's complicated. There's definitely joy, but there's also some melancholy."

"Hey, we're best friends, look at you, you're being petty again, aren't you?"

Zhuque thought to herself, "How can you say I'm petty? It was you who caused so much trouble back then, and I was entrusted to take care of you. I had to keep a low profile for that, and I don't know how many times I cleaned up your messes."

Nangong Zhuozhuo was unwilling to acknowledge that past event, and rolled around on Zhuque's bed. Then, she suddenly smelled something, sniffed it carefully, and her expression changed.

Zhuque's expression also changed, thinking to herself that this shouldn't be the case, as she had already cleaned up before leaving.

Ye Nianyi couldn't stand it any longer and said coldly, "Zhuozhuo, can't you just shut up for a second!"

Nangong Zhuozhuo, however, seemed unforgiving: "Why does this bed smell like Yun Yi?"

As expected of the nemesis of the Vermilion Bird, a single sentence made the other party blush with embarrassment.

Ye Nianyi's face also turned bright red instantly, and she said angrily, "Nangong Zhuozhuo!"

Unfortunately, the peach blossom spirit was shameless and persisted, saying, "I'm just telling the truth!"

Zhuque, quick-witted, seized the opportunity and asked, "How do you know that's Yun Yi's scent? Have you smelled it before?"

Nangong Zhuozhuo admitted, "Of course I smelled it. When you two were in the Flying Heaven Secret Realm, I even remembered you giving Yunyi a bath while he was naked..."

"Little Miss, shut up!" Zhuque could no longer bear it, so she grabbed Nangong Zhuozhuo's mouth and pressed her down onto the bed.

"Waaah... I just want to say it..." The two of them played around without a care in the world, and suddenly their private parts were exposed.

Ye Nianyi sighed and thought to herself that Nangong Zhuozhuo must have been cooped up on Ling'ao Island, and now that she's out, she's become a total madwoman.

She said softly, "If you keep making a scene like this, Brother Yun will definitely notice what's going on here."

These words worked perfectly. Nangong Zhuozhuo immediately stopped struggling, blinked her big eyes twice to show that she would never talk nonsense again, and only then did Zhuque release her.

Zhuozhuo adjusted her collar, which had been pulled up to her shoulder, to cover her delicate shoulders, and asked, "Didn't you say that Yunyi and Sister Song got married? How come you got involved too?"

Zhuque was so angry that she was speechless.

“We told you back then that you were a concubine’s maid, and you weren’t happy about it.”

“我真的要揍你了！”朱雀心想你也就现在嘲笑嘲笑我，等到有朝一日你个桃花精情窦初开，到时候看我怎么捉弄你。

"Okay." Nangong Zhuozhuo made a shushing gesture and obediently sat on the bed without saying anything more.

Zhuque felt awkward because she was worried about Ye Nianyi's feelings. However, after Nangong Zhuozhuo's unreasonable nagging, although the scene was chaotic, some things that were difficult to say were actually made clear.

I don’t know whether it is good or bad.

Fearing that the scene inside the room would be discovered, Ye Nianyi blew out the candles and set up a barrier, her cautious actions indeed reminiscent of Yun Yi's style.

After she finished making the arrangements, Zhuque asked, "Everyone's back, so why keep it from Yunyi?" Nangong Zhuozhuo retorted, "He went out to have fun with Sister Song and left us on Ling'ao Island. He was so disloyal! I'm going to wait for a chance to give him a good scare!"

Zhuque looked at him with disdain, thinking to himself, "Maybe you, Peach Blossom Spirit, are destined to bring me misfortune, but you've never gained any advantage over Yunyi."

Ye Nianyi said softly, "Zhuozhuo, this is not Yun-gege's fault. I was the one who cried and insisted on keeping you here."

Why are you siding with outsiders?

"By the way, Sister Zhuque, there's something I wanted to ask you earlier. Is Sister Song facing some kind of problem?" Ye Nianyi took the initiative to change the subject.

Suzaku exclaimed in surprise, "You saw through that?"

Ye Nianyi nodded and said, "Logically speaking, the two of them are newlyweds and should be inseparable, but now only Brother Yun is seen, which means something must have gone wrong."

"This is a bit absurd. Miss's cultivation is unstable, and she's about to ascend to immortality."

Nangong Zhuozhuo: "You're going to give birth so soon?!"

Zhuque: "I meant ascension, not birth."

"Oh."

Ye Nianyi: "This... should be a good thing, right?" Now that she is a cultivator, she naturally knows that ascension is of profound significance to cultivators and is the ultimate goal for countless people.

Zhuque sighed, "It's definitely a good thing for others, but not so good for the two of them. Anyway, Miss doesn't want to ascend, so she simply stayed in the Burial Sword Valley."

“That’s right. If Sister Song really ascends to immortality, it will probably take Brother Yun many years to catch up with her cultivation. He will definitely suffer from lovesickness all the time.” Ye Nianyi’s words came from the bottom of her heart. She liked Yun Yi and didn’t want to see him sad.

A young girl's feelings are so pure and innocent; there is resentment and heartache, but never jealousy.

After a long night of conversation, the three women gradually became familiar with each other, casting aside the sense of estrangement they had felt from not seeing each other for so long.

Zhuque recounted Yunyi's experiences over the past few days, and Nangong Zhuozhuo grew angrier as she listened, regretting that she hadn't participated in the destruction of the Tiancan Sect and the chaos in Dong'an City.

Ye Nianyi listened with admiration in her eyes, feeling that this was what a wonderful life should be like.

With her keen mind, she quickly deduced Yun Yi's motives based on Zhu Que's description.

The Heavenly Crippled Sect and the Overturning Heaven Pavilion secretly colluded to overthrow the Great Xia Dynasty, and they even joined forces with the Great Yan criminals to assassinate the eldest princess in Dong'an City.

On the surface, Yun Yi is expanding the territory of Burial Sword Valley, but in reality, he is opposing the Overturning Heaven Pavilion at every turn.

His arrival in the Demon Capital is undoubtedly also to continue to cause trouble for the Overturning Heaven Pavilion.

“Tianzhu... Zhao Wuxiang…” Having dealt with Zhao Wuxiang before in the Boundless Realm, Ye Nianyi guessed that the man would most likely appear in Crescent Moon City this time as well.

It seems I've returned at just the right time; I can use the Nine-Turn Soul-Stabilizing Pearl to help Brother Shangyun.

When it came to business, after confirming that no one was eavesdropping nearby, Zhuque finally revealed Yunyi's next plan.

"He originally planned to join forces with Senior Pei to capture Zhao Wuxiang, but that would have taken a lot of effort. Now that you're back, he naturally has a better way to deal with Zhao Wuxiang."

Nangong Zhuozhuo: "What method?"

Suzaku: "So...so, like this...like this..."

"Wow, that's wicked!"
