He had just been reborn when he was imprisoned by his nemesis, the Empress?

The night was enchanting; the red candles burned out, and dawn broke.

The next morning, Xu Yi opened his eyes in pain and rubbed his lower back.

He blinked, gazing at the canopy above him embroidered with phoenixes and luan birds singing in harmony, and couldn't help but think:

Everything in this world is just too real, isn't it?

The touch, smell, and even the feeling of physical fatigue were exactly the same as in the original world.

Thinking about it, he turned his head and glanced at the spot next to him, only to find that Jiang Xuange was gone.

Xu Yi scratched his head, somewhat bewildered, a hint of doubt flashing through his mind.

Is Jiang Xuange's body that strong? They didn't sleep for almost a whole night last night.

She was begging for mercy just before dawn, how did she recover so quickly?

He was just about to get up and go find her when he felt something soft gently pinch his cheek.

The touch was slightly cool and delicate, like the fingertips of a person.

Xu Yi touched his face, somewhat puzzled, but found nothing.

Immediately afterwards, he felt something soft and cool rest on his head, heavy and with a faint fragrance.

Xu Yi raised his hand to touch his head again, but it was still empty; he couldn't touch anything.

Strange, is this a ghost?

Just as he was filled with doubt, a cold system notification suddenly sounded in his mind:

[Ding! Interference with the host's external body has been detected. Preparing for forced evacuation from the current world... Evacuation countdown: 3, 2, 1...]

As soon as the system notification sound ended, Xu Yi felt everything go black and he fainted.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in his magnificent palace.

The cool, soft touch on his head was still there, pressing heavily on his head.

It carried a faint, cool fragrance that belonged to Su Qingluan.

Xu Yi subconsciously reached out and grabbed a soft, delicate jade foot.

There seems to be one more on top.

Damn, those are definitely Su Qingluan's stinky feet!

Ah!!! This damned woman actually dared to put her feet on her head!

Damn it! This is absolutely outrageous!

Xu Yi strained with both hands, trying to pull the two feet off his head, roaring angrily.

"Put it down! You crazy woman!"

But those feet seemed nailed to his head; no matter how much he pulled, they wouldn't budge.

In a fit of rage, he had no choice but to reach out and pinch the jade-like foot that was resting on his head.

Above Xu Yi, Su Qingluan was leaning against the headboard, holding an ancient book in her hands, reading it with great interest.

Hearing his roars and struggles, she merely glanced at him indifferently, then lightly flicked her finger.

The chain wrapped around Xu Yi's wrist suddenly glowed with a faint golden light.

An invisible force pressed Xu Yi's hand firmly onto the cold ground, rendering him unable to move.

After doing all this, Su Qingluan casually changed the position of her crossed legs.

Her feet remained firmly planted on Xu Yi's head, and she even deliberately pressed them down a little.

"Don't scratch your master with your stinky hands."

Her voice was clear and melodious, but to Xu Yi it sounded like the whisper of a demon, making him tremble with rage.

He struggled twice and roared at Su Qingluan.

"Damn it, you're the smelliest one, okay?"

"Get your stinky feet away right now! They stink!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qingluan raised an eyebrow, closed the ancient book in her hand, and casually tossed it aside, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.

"Stinky feet? Xu Yi, I'll let you have your way today. Take a good sniff and see if they really stink."

As she spoke, she slowly lowered her jade-like feet, moved her body closer to the bed, and leaned closer to Xu Yi.

Then, he raised one foot, aimed it at Xu Yi's nose, and gently stepped on it, then deliberately rubbed it from side to side.

The smooth, delicate skin pressed against the tip of my nose, its warmth spreading, and a faint, cool fragrance filling my nostrils.

Xu Yi froze instantly, his cheeks turning bright red, not from embarrassment, but from anger.

"you......"

He wanted to curse, but the foot blocked his speech, so he could only struggle frantically and shake his head wildly, trying to get away from the foot.

But... this backfired. Because his head was shaking so much, almost half of his face got rubbed by Su Qingluan's foot...

Xu Yi completely broke down, shouting with a sense of collapse and helplessness.

"Put it down right now!"

Su Qingluan looked at Xu Yi, who was lying on the ground with bloodshot eyes and a bulging neck, seemingly insane. A hint of pleasure flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but curl her red lips into a smile.

"Does it smell good? Don't you like to bite people? Open your mouth and have a taste?"

As she spoke, she slightly raised her jade-like foot and slowly moved it toward Xu Yi's mouth, with a hint of seduction.

Xu Yi was so frightened that he quickly turned his head to avoid the foot, roaring angrily.

"Smells like shit!"

"Um?"

Su Qingluan's tone deepened slightly, and she raised her foot to step over again.

This was unbearable for Xu Yi, and he quickly shouted...

"Stop! Stop! What will it take for you to let me go?"

Su Qingluan narrowed her eyes, her phoenix eyes full of laughter, and her fingertips lightly tapped her knee.

"Huh? My good pet is actually begging for mercy?"

She drew out her words, with a hint of teasing.

"You want me to let you go? Fine, just say 'Master, I was wrong,' and I'll let you go."

Damn it!

Thirty years to Hedong, thirty years to Hexi!

Su Qingluan, one day I will make you kneel down and admit your mistakes!

I will make you taste all the humiliation I have suffered!

But right now, he has no room to resist.

Xu Yi sighed deeply, and then feigned pitifulness once again.

"You...you can stop bullying this poor farmer. Please let me go. I want to go home and farm."

Su Qingluan let out a cold laugh, a clear laugh that carried a hint of mockery.

"Xu Yi, do you think it's fun to keep pretending to be stupid?"

Xu Yi's heart tightened, but he continued to feign madness, his eyes remaining blank.

"What do you mean by pretending to be stupid? I don't understand what you're saying."

"Also, my name isn't Xu Yi, you've arrested the wrong person."

Su Qingluan, observing his clumsy acting, didn't expose him. Instead, she extended her fair fingers, gently stroking her fingertips, and said softly.

"Xu Yi, if you admit now that you have also been reborn, I might consider letting you go."

Do you think employers and employees trust you?!

Xu Yi raised his head and asked, feigning confusion.

"What does 'rebirth' mean?"

Su Qingluan rested her face on one hand, lying on her side on the bed.

Her graceful figure was on full display, and the magnificent imperial robe slipped off her shoulders, revealing a small patch of fair skin.

She watched Xu Yi act with great interest, and even found the way this simpleton pretended to be stupid to be somewhat... cute?
