This pleased him somewhat—there were some things that men couldn't do, and with these female assassins at the Innate Realm, he could send them to do things for the women around him in the future.

"Here is your tea and snacks."

Nongyu lowered her head and brought over tea and snacks, speaking softly.

She was very flustered, fearing that once the emperor saw through her, he would do those outrageous things again.

Nongyu knew this ruler was not to be trifled with; if he insisted on forcing his way in, she would have no choice but to call upon her sister Zinu for help. "Just put it on the stone table." "Yes."

Su Qingfeng recognized the woman as Nongyu, but seeing her anxious expression, he felt bored—she seemed afraid that he might do something to her.

Su Qingfeng glanced at Nongyu but then ignored her. Which of the ladies in his household wasn't more beautiful than her? And there were several he hadn't even fully gotten close to yet, so why would he care about this somewhat dull-witted woman?

As Nongyu placed the tea and snacks on the stone table, she noticed that the emperor was looking her over. Her heart jumped into her throat, fearing that he would make a move on her.

After waiting a while, she found that the emperor ignored her and instead began to eat the pastries heartily. Nongyu was puzzled: Didn't Sister Zinu say he was a **? Why is he not making a move when he sees me? Am I not even as good as these pastries on the table?

boom!

Zi Nu cleaved a nearby tree in half with a single sword strike, and Yan Ling Ji was also sent flying by the force of the blow.

Zi Nu looked at the injured Yan Ling Ji and warned coldly, "Woman of Baiyue, surrender immediately, or I will take your life." Yan Ling Ji looked down at the wound on her abdomen and was furious: How come all these bastard women are so powerful?

The previous Lady Jun had captured her without any resistance, and although this one was only slightly stronger, killing her would still be no easy task. "You want me to surrender? Dream on! I'd rather die than surrender!" "Then die!" Boom! Boom! Boom!

Zi Nu also became ruthless at this moment, her Crimson Serpent Sword in her hand sometimes long and sometimes short, even curving like a snake, each move aimed at Yan Ling Ji.

Yan Lingji found the fight increasingly difficult; the woman's weapon was truly troublesome, rendering her unable to utilize her strengths and forcing her to dodge repeatedly.

Seeing that the two were fighting with all their might, Su Qingfeng shook his head. It seemed he would have to intervene and separate them himself, otherwise one of them would surely be injured.

He quietly summoned a hundred female shadow assassins to lie in ambush around him, intending to order their capture when Zi Nu and Yan Ling Ji were exhausted, so as to take this opportunity to see the shadow assassins' skills.

"Um...aren't you going to stop Sister Zi Nu and that woman?"

"Huh? Why haven't you left yet? Weren't you quite afraid of me?"

Seeing Zi Nu and the other woman fighting more and more fiercely, Nong Yu couldn't help but worry about Zi Nu. But the emperor was leisurely watching the battle while eating snacks, leaving Nong Yu speechless.

Is Your Majesty merely watching a show? Aren't you afraid that the two of them might be injured or killed? Seeing the battle intensifying, Nongyu couldn't help but ask Su Qingfeng.

"Um... um... aren't you going to stop Sister Zi Nu and that woman?"

When Nongyu asked Su Qingfeng her question, Su Qingfeng noticed that she was still standing to the side watching him. A little surprised, he asked Nongyu, "Huh? Why haven't you left yet? Weren't you quite afraid of me?"

Upon hearing this, Nongyu's face immediately turned bright red. She hadn't expected that this emperor had already noticed her, and she was flustered and didn't know how to reply.

Seeing her flustered appearance, Su Qingfeng ignored her. This girl was a bit strange. He turned to look at Zi Nu and Yan Ling Ji; both of them had almost exhausted their inner strength.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Su Qingfeng suddenly clapped his hands under Nongyu's gaze. Nongyu looked at him curiously, unable to guess whether he clapped his hands to attract the attention of the two women or to summon his men to separate them.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Just as Nongyu was wondering, one after another, female assassins dressed in black night clothes suddenly appeared from the backyard of Zilan Pavilion. Their tight-fitting clothes outlined their figures, and each of them held a short blade. They all bowed to Su Qingfeng.

Nongyu was taken aback. She had no idea that there were over a hundred female assassins hiding here. Although her cultivation level was not high, how could she have not noticed that there were so many experts hidden in Zilan Pavilion?

Zi Nu and Yan Ling Ji also stopped what they were doing and looked at the assassin who had suddenly appeared. Then their eyes turned to Su Qing Feng.

Zi Nu immediately confronted him angrily, "Su Qingfeng, you bastard! Since you had men lying in ambush in my Zi Lan Pavilion, why did you try to steal my bodyguards?"

Su Qingfeng looked helplessly at the unreasonable Zi Nu. When did those guards become hers? Why is she acting so unreasonably?

"What do you mean, your bodyguards? They're all our men. When did they become yours?"

"This was assigned to me by your wife. What right do you have to take it away as soon as you arrive?"

"My wife gave it to you, so I can't take it back? Zi Nu, are you out of your mind? Nong Yu, quickly take your boss's wife to see a doctor!"

"You bastard! How dare you lay a hand on Nongyu! You despicable scoundrel, I'll kill you!"

"Guards, seize her! Don't hurt her!"

"Yes, Master."

Seeing Zi Nu charging towards him with her sword, Su Qingfeng immediately gave the order. This woman has such a violent temper; she attacked without even asking questions. It's really a headache.

Four shadow assassins responded and attacked Zi Nu from four directions. Zi Nu was caught off guard and could barely parry.

She was both angry and anxious: Where did Su Qingfeng find these female assassins? Although they hadn't used any special moves, she would still be seriously injured if she were hit by a normal attack.

Just as Zi Nu was about to defeat the female assassin in front of her, the assassin's figure flickered and vanished without a trace, even her aura completely disappearing. Zi Nu's heart tightened, and she immediately turned to attack the other three, but to her surprise, they also disappeared at the same moment, leaving only a wisp of white smoke drifting away.

Before Zi Nu could react, four shadow female assassins had already moved close to her like ghosts, their short blades drawn and held against her neck. One of them raised her hand and sealed Zi Nu's pressure points.

"Sister Zi Nu!"

Seeing this, Nongyu rushed forward anxiously, but was blocked by the shadow assassin beside her.

With her acupoints restricted, Zi Nu was both angry and astonished. She hadn't expected these assassins to be so skilled; their unpredictable movements would be difficult to decipher even when her inner energy was abundant. Now, with her inner energy nearly depleted, she was utterly helpless.

Zi Nu was brought before Su Qingfeng, and upon looking up, she saw him smiling at her. Her cheeks immediately burned, and she glared at him, yelling, "Su Qingfeng, you scoundrel! Tell them to let me go!"

Seeing her still acting so arrogant even after being arrested, Su Qingfeng couldn't help but chuckle: "Boss Zi Nu, do you really think that's possible?"

Knowing she was in a disadvantageous position, Zi Nu suppressed her anger and asked, "What...what do you want from me to let me go?"

Su Qingfeng's gaze swept over her bright and beautiful face, and he slowly said, "I want to be the boss of Zilan Pavilion."

Upon hearing this, Zi Nu was filled with shame and indignation, wishing she could strangle the person in front of her immediately: "Don't even think about it! I'd rather die than agree!"

Su Qingfeng knew she had misunderstood, but he didn't explain further. He simply said leisurely, "No rush. I believe the beautiful proprietress will agree sooner or later."

"I absolutely refuse!"

"You'll agree," Su Qingfeng said, then suddenly noticed Yan Lingji quietly moving aside, as if looking for an opportunity to escape.

He couldn't help but chuckle. With shadow assassins swarming the area and Netherworld Guards watching the perimeter, how could she possibly escape? Seeing Yan Lingji's panicked expression after noticing his gaze, Su Qingfeng called out:

"My dear Flame Baby, why aren't you stopping obediently? Do you want me to strip you naked too?"

"You bastard! I'll kill you!" Yan Lingji was filled with shame and anger, and she flew towards him with a light step.

Su Qingfeng waved his hand to signal the surrounding assassins not to stop him, but then his figure flickered and he suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

After a few soft sounds, his voice, tinged with laughter, came again:

"Flame Baby, you can't be so naughty."

"You damned bastard, I'll tear you to pieces!"

Su Qingfeng suddenly appeared behind Yan Lingji and slapped her buttocks a few times. He had seen Yan Lingji completely naked.

Su Qingfeng would not let Yan Lingji leave him. Whether it was possessiveness or something else, Yan Lingji would have no choice but to stay with him from now on.

Yan Lingji stared blankly at Su Qingfeng, who had suddenly appeared beside her—she had actually been spanked? And by a man? Her face flushed even redder and turned even uglier. Yan Lingji roared angrily, grabbing her hairpin and unleashing a burst of flame at Su Qingfeng: "Ah, you damned bastard, I'll tear you to pieces!"

Su Qingfeng immediately disappeared from her side, looking at the annoyed Yan Lingji, and even stuck out his little finger to continue teasing her: "Damn, as expected of someone who plays with fire, you almost burned me."

"Damn it, you bastard, don't dodge!"

"On what grounds?"

"Just because you're a man!"

"Tch, so you call yourself a woman? Why don't you just let me catch you?"

"Are you going to stand still or not, you scoundrel?"

"I won't stand."

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Yan Lingji was completely enraged by Su Qingfeng and attacked him relentlessly, as if her life depended on it. In the blink of an eye, she had turned the backyard of Zilan Pavilion into a complete mess.

The ground was riddled with potholes, and the flowers, plants, and trees were not spared either. The trees in the courtyard were either cut down by Zi Nu or burned to charcoal by Yan Ling Ji.

At this moment, Yan Lingji finally exhausted her true energy. She staggered, glaring at Su Qingfeng helplessly—this guy was too good at dodging, and she hadn't hit him even once in all that time.

Yan Lingji was exhausted, her true energy depleted. She slowly walked to the stone table, sat down, and poured herself a cup of tea. Su Qingfeng also came over and sat down, smiling as he said to her, "Little Yan, aren't you going to continue?"

Yan Lingji was furious the moment she saw him. If she hadn't run out of true energy, she would never have let this bastard get away. "Get out, I don't want to see you."

Su Qingfeng smiled, then turned to see Zi Nu still standing there, staring blankly at the backyard. He knew Zi Nu was heartbroken over her Zi Lan Xuan. After a moment's thought, he ordered the Shadow Assassin beside him, "Someone, release the pressure points on Lady Zi Nu."

"Yes, Master."

Zi Nu released her pressure points and charged aggressively towards Su Qingfeng. But before she could even utter a word of reprimand, Su Qingfeng said:

"Purple Maiden, as compensation, I will assign you twelve Shadow Assassins to protect your safety. In addition, those bodyguards who have worked for me will also be yours from now on."

Su Qingfeng gave Zi Nu and her men for her safety. After all, he would be leaving the Eastern Continent, and Zi Nu might have to face some enemies alone. The women in Zi Lan Xuan alone would be no match for certain forces.

With these bodyguards and shadow assassins around, her safety is somewhat guaranteed. It's not too late to bring in stronger subordinates to protect her later.
