destiny eternal calamity

The group returned to the city first, leaving only Granny Xiao to accompany the Yuzhen Guards to escort the evidence.

Li Wei also brought Shang Xueyan to the princess's residence and handed her over to Granny Wang for treatment.

"This... the meridians are congested and the energy is weak. It looks like some kind of life-burning secret technique was used. It's really reckless..." Granny Wang diagnosed.

Shang Xueyan breathed a sigh of relief when she realized she had gotten away with it.

It's not that Granny Wang's medical skills are lacking; it's mainly because Shang Xueyan's cultivation level is too high.

Moreover, the Kongsang Sect is skilled in medical arts, and Shang Xueyan's medical skills are also quite high, which is why she was able to disguise herself so convincingly.

Granny Wang channeled her healing energy into Shang Xueyan's meridians, then prescribed a formula to replenish her vital energy before leaving.

"Senior sister, you finally recovered, and now you've gotten injured again because of me," Li Wei said apologetically.

"It's alright. I've already contacted my sect, and they've asked me to stay in the capital of Dali for the time being as a backup plan, so there's no rush to leave."

Shang Xueyan lay on the bed, covered with thick blankets, revealing a stunningly beautiful face, and spoke in a sickly manner, like Xi Shi clutching her heart.

"Sigh, if it weren't for Senior Sister, I would definitely be in grave danger this time. I really don't know how to repay her..."

"If you could focus your efforts on the 'Nine Cauldrons Technique' and see if you could raise it to the fifth level, that would be the greatest reward you could give me. This technique is extremely important to our Guixu Cave Heaven."

"Okay, I will definitely try my best. Senior Sister, you can rest assured and recuperate at the Princess's residence. It's much safer here."

"Um."

Li Wei left the room arranged for Shang Xueyan in the princess's residence and went straight to Long Bilin's bedroom.

"Young master, His Highness was very worried about you!"

Xiao Zhu, the most lively of Long Bilin's four confidantes, quickly came up to greet Li Wei upon seeing him.

Since Long Bilin and Li Wei confronted each other more than a month ago, he has frequently come to the princess's residence to cultivate his relationship with Long Bilin, and naturally he has also become familiar with the four women, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju.

They now call him "Young Master" directly, without using his surname, as if they were treating Li Wei as their own master.

After all, Long Bilin had made it clear that they would be serving as maids in the future.

The four women not only had no objections to this arrangement, but were also quite happy with it.

In the two months since they met Li Wei, they have witnessed his talent and the demeanor of a handsome young man, and they have come to like this future husband from the bottom of their hearts.

Following Xiaozhu into the room, Li Wei saw the princess looking through the captured research materials.

Aunt Ying also sat to the side, sipping a cup of tea.

"Is Miss Yan alright?" Xiao Shuying asked, putting down her teacup.

"Yes, the meridians have been damaged and the vital energy has been greatly depleted. It will take some time to rest."

Li Wei sat down opposite the two and told them about Zuo Fenghan and Du Qianqian.

"This isn't difficult to solve. Although we can't erase specific memories, Aunt Ying can use the Heavenly Demon Chaos Technique to hypnotize Du Qianqian, and then combine it with medication to make her completely forget her memories. From now on, we'll arrange for her to become a Jade True Guard."

Long Bilin put down the documents, rubbed her shoulders, and said.

"Then I'll make the arrangements. Du Qianqian is still being watched by the Jade True Guards of the manor."

Xiao Shuying stood up and said, seeing her cousin's affectionate expression, she didn't want to be a third wheel.

"By the way, He Yang was taken away by Zhao Yuqing and should be locked up in the East City Military Command prison."

Li Wei nodded, indicating that he understood.

He Yang was, after all, a person possessed by demons, and his case was related to the He family. It was only right for Zhao Yuqing to take him away.

However, I still need to go over the details of this case with Zhao Yuqing tomorrow, so as not to reveal that Zuo Fenghan is dead.

"Husband, I was really frightened by you all today." As soon as Xiao Shuying stepped out, Long Bilin complained to Li Wei.

"I never expected that 'Zuo Fenghan' could have contact with so many high-ranking members of the Changsheng Sect." Li Wei smiled wryly, stood up, and walked behind Long Bilin.

"We still need to be more careful in the future. My husband is so talented that he can just focus on his cultivation. If he needs anything, he can ask me for it. Don't take such risks."

Li Wei thought to himself, "I'm short of money, but you also need money to support the Bright Moon Pavilion and the Jade True Guard in the Princess's Mansion."

Moreover, he can live off women, but he can't only live off women.

Li Wei knew that the best marital relationship was one of equality. Although Long Bilin always took advantage of him, he could not push his luck or be shameless.

Moreover, he couldn't explain why he needed so much silver for his cultivation.

"This time, the main purpose is to help Zhao Yuqing, the Heavenly Maiden, subdue demons and destroy the cult's stronghold, which will also greatly benefit the reputation of the Princess's Mansion."

Li Wei placed his hand on Long Bilin's shoulder and began to massage it. He had just noticed that Long Bilin's shoulder looked a little sore.

"Yes, I know you did all this to help me. Thank you, my husband."

"Do we need to thank each other?" Li Wei said with a smile, recalling that he had said thank you countless times when he first came to the princess's residence more than two months ago.

In the blink of an eye, it was the princess's turn to thank him.

After thinking for a moment, he added, "If my wife wants to thank me, she should show some sincerity."

"What sincerity?" Long Bilin was a little curious. She had already given him her body, so what sincerity could she possibly have?

"Well, it's nothing serious. I designed a pair of shoes and would like to ask my wife to try them on. It's just that these shoes might be a little uncomfortable to wear."

Long Bilin became even more curious. Was wearing ill-fitting shoes considered a sign of sincerity?

"Very well, I agree."

Li Wei felt as if he had heard celestial music and gave her a quick kiss on her fair face.

The hand also moved restlessly from the shoulder to below.

Hearing his breathing become somewhat heavy, Long Bilin quickly said, "Husband, last night was too... I'm still feeling a little unwell... Let Xiaomei and the others keep you company."

But she quickly realized her mistake and said, "No, because of what happened last night, I have already offended Aunt Ying. If these four little girls beat Aunt Ying to it, she will sever all ties with me."

Li Wei found it somewhat amusing; she even knew she had offended Aunt Ying.

"Still laughing? It's all your fault for being so useless; you've never been able to win over Aunt Ying!"

Tsk, women are so unreasonable. My progress with Aunt Ying is already fast enough. It's clearly Your Highness who has gotten ahead of the game too quickly.

Long Bilin also felt somewhat guilty, so she stood up and whispered in Li Wei's ear.

After listening, Li Wei looked at Long Bilin's elegant and graceful appearance and felt a little excited.

"Then... wear this palace attire, and look upwards..."

Long Bilin rolled her eyes at him, but obediently squatted down and did as he said.

……

The next morning, Li Wei walked out of his bedroom feeling refreshed.

After visiting Senior Sister Yan and confirming that she was alright, he led Xiao Shuying towards the East City Military Command.

Xiao Shuying followed beside him, looking at the smug look on the young man's face, and felt that he must have done something last night.

But she just looked at the plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums and didn't find anything unusual. Could it still be His Highness?

"That lecherous scoundrel, he really doesn't know how to cherish a beautiful woman!"
