Starry sky, I can hear their secrets.

Fu Xuan tilted her head back, displeased, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"It's only been a few months since we last parted, so how can you say it's been a long time?"

For the long-lived people of the Immortal Ship, not to mention months, even years would not feel long.

Tingyun smiled gently: "Oh dear, it's all my fault."

"I often deal with outsiders and merchants from other planets, and my sense of time has unconsciously shifted towards theirs."

Fu Xuan nodded slightly, acknowledging Ting Yun's statement.

Immediately afterwards, Fu Xuan looked at Su Jinyan and said crisply:

"I have already heard from Qingque what happened to you today."

"I originally only wanted to temper your lazy nature."

"However, due to my busy official duties, I was unable to find the time to perform a divination for you, which is why you were dragged into this crisis. This is my dereliction of duty."

Although Fu Xuan believed it was her own dereliction of duty, admitting her mistake in front of a newcomer was the limit of her ability.

If she were asked to apologize to the newcomer, Fu Xuan wouldn't be able to bring herself to do it.

Su Jinyan said gently, "Lord Fu Xuan, this is not your fault. A person's energy is limited."

“You are both the Grand Diviner and the Chief Diviner of the Grand Divination Bureau.”

“You must be exhausted from all the paperwork every day, both physically and mentally. How can we expect you to make no mistakes?”

Fu Xuan pursed his lips, a smile appearing in his eyes.

"Very good, you did a good job this time."

"He was able to detect the crisis in time and kill the abundant monster with his own strength, and he deserves a reward."

A look of confusion crossed Su Jinyan's eyes. This wasn't right.

I killed the Abundant Beast all by myself? Wasn't it Qingque and I who killed the Abundant Beast together?

Qingque hid behind Fu Xuan and quietly put her index finger to her lips, making a "shh" gesture.

Tingyun's eyes sparkled, and a mysterious smile played on her lips.

Su Jinyan chuckled to herself.

Why is this little sparrow putting all the credit on me?

They're probably afraid that revealing their abilities will lead to Fu Xuan assigning them even more work, really...

Fu Xuan asked, "So, Su Jinyan, what reward do you want?"

"As long as the request is reasonable and within my capabilities."

"I can grant you any reward that does not exceed the merit you have made."

Su Jinyan's eyes lit up: "Really, anything is fine? Then I want—"

Fu Xuan interrupted him, still uneasy, "Think it over before you speak."

Reminded by Fu Xuan, Su Jinyan lowered his head and began to think deeply.

What is it that I really want?

Gradually, Su Jinyan's gaze became fixed on Fu Xuan's fair and delicate feet, and he could no longer look away.

At the same time, the wavering belief in his heart became more and more firm.

Su Jinyan looked quite serious.

“My Lord, I have made up my mind. What I want is very simple, and you can definitely grant it to me.”

"Oh?" Fu Xuan's eyes showed curiosity.

Chapter Sixteen: The flower language of steel wool is forbearance and wealth.

Su Jinyan smiled confidently, her lips moved, and she said something in a very low voice.

Fu Xuan frowned, puzzled, and said, "I didn't hear you clearly, couldn't you have spoken louder?"

Su Jinyan hesitated for a moment: "Do we really need to speak louder?"

Fu Xuan looked at him in confusion: "Why are you being so coy now?"

Being coy? Not at all, that's exactly what I was waiting for you to say.

Su Jinyan pleaded, "Lord Fu Xuan, please step on me with your soft, white-socked little feet!"

Blue Sparrow: (°Д°)

Tingyun: (???)

Fu Xuan:〣(oΔo)〣

The diviners of the Grand Diviner: ⊙▃⊙

Fu Xuan, filled with shame and anger, couldn't help but rebuke him:

"You rude scoundrel, do you know what you're saying?"

"I have treated you with utmost sincerity, yet you dare to humiliate me like this? Do you think I am weak and easily bullied?!"

Tingyun whispered, "My benefactor, Lord Fu Xuan is not wearing white socks, but white lace socks. Please don't get it wrong."

Qingque looked nervous: "Hey, is this the time to worry about these things?"

"Can't you see that the Grand Diviner is angry? Ah Yan, you'd better apologize quickly."

Su Jinyan remained unmoved, and as if by magic, produced a bouquet of steel wool and knelt on one knee.

Fu Xuan: "?"

Su Jinyan asked with a serious expression, "Lord Fu Xuan, do you know the symbolic meaning of steel wool?"

"The flower language of steel wool is forbearance and wealth, and it also symbolizes my unwavering love for you."

"Please accept this bouquet of flowers, I don't want to try anymore!"

Fu Xuan's pretty face darkened, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Su Jinyan, you... you..."

Su Jinyan provoked, "Could it be that Lord Fu Xuan doesn't want to step on me because your feet don't smell good, but rather—"

Before he could finish speaking, Fu Xuan interrupted him: "Shut up!"

"You really are... ungrateful!"

boom!

Su Jinyan only felt a blur before her eyes, and before she could even realize how Fu Xuan had made her move, she had already been easily knocked to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a soft, white-socked little foot stomped hard on his face, grinding it repeatedly.

Fu Xuan's face flushed with anger. She stomped on his cheek forcefully while gritting her teeth and saying:

"Su Jinyan, do you know how long I've been putting up with you? Hmm?"

"Does it smell good? I'm asking you, does it smell good?"

Su Jinyan, feeling both pain and pleasure, replied, "I don't know."

To be honest, he's not in a good mood right now.

He should have hated doing these things.

But for some reason, after Fu Xuan's soft white socked feet stepped on his face, he felt a strange sense of pleasure.

I feel very satisfied and comfortable; my tired body and mind seem to have relaxed a lot.

It was clear that Fu Xuan had rewarded him...

Well, the humiliation wasn't over yet, and he was already looking forward to the next one.

This is bad, this is really bad. If this continues, will I turn into a pervert?

Fu Xuan slightly adjusted the angle and pressure of his foot and continued to step on his cheek.

This way, we can ensure that Su Jinyan is not seriously injured, but we can still inflict more pain on him.

"I saw your potential and thought I would give you more rewards as a way to train a newcomer."

"Since you insist on humiliating me, then I will grant your wish."

"No matter what merits you make in the future, don't even think about getting a single reward from me."

Su Jinyan's eyes lit up. Wouldn't that be even better?

All the useless rewards can be exchanged for Lord Fu Xuan's humiliation of me.

Bring on the storm, I can handle it.

Seeing this scene before her, Qingque's beautiful eyes went blank, and she clenched her small fists in frustration.

Too much, too much.

Such a good opportunity was wasted by Ayan.

I've already gone to such lengths to curry favor with the Grand Diviner on his behalf, but he doesn't appreciate it at all.
