When Han Xingyu returned to the room, she saw Hua Qianye lying diagonally on the bed, looking more like the master of the room.

Hua Qianye squinted at him, a playful smile curving her lips. She raised a wicked glint in her phoenix eyes and asked with a wicked grin, "What have you been busy with until so late?"

"Have you finished refining the pills?" Han Xingyu asked without answering.

"Don't change the subject." Hua Qianye was incredibly shrewd. She propped herself up, leaned forward, and feigned intoxication. She sniffed and smiled wickedly, saying, "My dear girl, you've gone to meet your lover?"

Han Xingyu's expression turned slightly cold, and she narrowed her eyes, saying, "I can tell Sister Wuxie that during her seclusion, Hua Qianye returned to Shenfeng Palace once and selected another concubine!"

"Your fabrication skills are quite impressive!" Hua Qianye laughed instead of getting angry, and said confidently, "Wu Xie won't believe you."

"Grandpa and the others should be about to break through. Sister Wuxie doesn't believe me, but I think Grandpa will believe me!" Han Xingyu looked at him threateningly, a sly smile on her lips.

"You brat!" Hua Qianye cursed, angrily adding, "If you weren't her brother, I would have strangled you!"

"If you're the one who started this, of course I'll play along." Han Xingyu looked at him with a half-smile.

Hua Qianye shrugged indifferently, then smiled triumphantly, "Xingyu, I've watched you grow up. The more you act like a hedgehog, the more it proves I was right! Going to meet your lover tonight!"

"Hmm? Do you have a girl you like?" Hua Qianye grinned mischievously, leaned closer, and started gossiping.

"I never realized you were this kind of person before." Han Xingyu's lips twitched.

Hua Qianye rested her chin on her hand, looking slightly lazy, and said, "I only get curious about these things in front of my own people. I can't be bothered with other people's business. Before your sister Wuxie went into seclusion, she entrusted you to my care. Even if I don't want to gossip, I still have to find out. The women in the God Realm are not simple, so you won't be deceived by bad women."

Upon hearing this, Han Xingyu raised an eyebrow and said with amusement, "So, I should thank you?"

"If you'd like to thank me, then bring me a good pot of wine!" Hua Qianye narrowed his long, phoenix-like eyes, his blue eyes smiling. He really liked Han Xingyu. Even though Xingyu was now an adult, in his heart, he still cared for Han Tianci and Han Xingyu as if they were children he had brought down to the mortal world, just like Han Wuxie had.

Han Xingyu glanced at Hua Qianye sideways, a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, and said, "You bastard! I really suspect you. Your concern for me is fake; you just want to get me drinks!"

Although he complained, his hands didn't stop. He took out two jugs of wine he had brewed himself from his storage pouch and tossed one of them to Hua Qianye.

Hua Qianye tilted his head back and took a sip, smiling contentedly, and praised without reservation, "Your alchemy skills are first-rate, and your brewing skills are also first-rate!"

Han Xingyu also tilted his head back and took a sip, squinting as he said, "I've taken a liking to a woman, not bad."

"How am I not good?" Hua Qianye smiled lazily, a playful tone in her voice: "Isn't she better than your sister?"

"They can't be compared." Han Xingyu's mind flashed back to the image of Ruoxue playing the flute, and she said softly, "She's very special."

"Special?" Hua Qianye, always eager to get to the bottom of things, chuckled and asked, "How is it special?"

Han Xingyu's feelings for Hua Qianye stemmed from childhood admiration and gratitude. Although she often bickered with him, she had long regarded him as her brother-in-law and older brother.

Although somewhat awkward, he still said truthfully, "That special feeling is hard to express in words."

"It seems you've truly fallen in love with her." Hua Qianye smiled wickedly, but his voice carried a deep concern: "Is she from the Demon God Realm?"

Han Xingyu was taken aback, then realized that he had teleported back and forgotten to retract his demonic cultivation. He smiled wryly and said, "Yes."

"Are you sure he's a good person?" Hua Qianye frowned slightly.

"She's a heartless woman." Han Xingyu smiled gently.

Hua Qianye looked at his gentle smile, her worry deepening. This kid is seriously poisoned!

"The pills refined today are enough to allow everyone in the Heavenly Star Evil Palace to break through to the level of gods. Nothing much will happen in the next few days. I'm very curious about the special woman you mentioned; what makes her so special? Would you mind taking me to see her?"

Han Xingyu frowned, as if she was very hesitant.

"What? You treasure her so much, why are you hiding her away?" Hua Qianye's voice carried a teasing tone, but deep in her blue eyes was a deeper worry.

Han Xingyu waved her hand, feigning indifference, and said, "She's just an ordinary woman, not as good as Sister Wuxie. You should stay in the mountains and wait for Sister Wuxie to come out of seclusion. I need to cultivate now, go back to your room!"

"I've been waiting for you here for a long time, and you're already kicking me out before I've even finished a pot of wine?" Hua Qianye lay down on his bed in a somewhat shameless manner, taking over his place.

Han Xingyu frowned even more deeply. Seeing his shameless behavior, she had no choice but to give in and growled, "Fine, your shamelessness is truly impressive! You can sleep here, I'll go to your room, okay!"

"Wait!" Hua Qianye stepped in front of him, her voice slightly low, "I won't stop you from loving whomever you want, but I still have to tell you to be careful in everything you do. The Demon God Realm is much more complicated and dangerous than the Heavenly God Realm."

Han Xingyu's eyes flickered slightly, a smirk playing on her lips. She darted to her bed and said lazily, "I know, stop nagging like an old woman. Be careful, or my sister Wuxie will dislike you later!"

Hua Qianye's lips twitched slightly. He turned to look at him, but Han Xingyu had already closed his eyes, ignoring him. Hua Qianye shook his head with a bitter smile and had no choice but to leave. He knew that Han Xingyu had changed a lot since learning about his mother's situation. Now, once he fell in love, there was no turning back. There was no point in saying anything more. Han Xingyu was a man of principle. Let him make his own way. Love was something that outsiders couldn't interfere with.

……

Early the next morning.

Just as Han Xingyu said, the Blood King came to the Ruo residence to pay a visit early in the morning.

Ye'er rushed to Ruoxue's side and whispered, "Miss, that Blood King is here again!"

That person's information network is truly impressive; they really came! Ruoxue narrowed her eyes, her gaze chillingly cold, and said in a low voice, "Let them come."

"I heard from the maidservant beside the master that he seems to have come to see Miss! The master is currently playing chess with him, but I'm afraid it won't last long," Ye'er whispered to Ruoxue.

Ruoxue suddenly stood up and said with a playful smile, "Ye'er, help me get dressed. Since he's here to see me, I should naturally act like a generous young lady of the Ruo family. It wouldn't hurt to see him too."

"But Miss and he are no longer engaged..."

Ye'er wanted to say something more, but she didn't dare to continue.

In the past, she always saw her mistress being bullied, often because her mistress was the Blood King's fiancée and was envied by others. Ye'er had long been angry about the Blood King's indifference towards her mistress, and now that she knew her mistress had finally broken off the engagement, she was naturally happy for her. But even though the engagement was broken off, why did the Blood King still want to see her mistress?

"Ye'er, sometimes men are just like that, so perverse. When you chase after him, he avoids you like the plague. But when you ignore him, he feels uncomfortable and starts chasing after you instead," Ruoxue said casually.

Ye'er was stunned, blinking in disbelief as she studied the words. She couldn't believe that such words would come from her young mistress's mouth. Her young mistress had really changed a lot!

Ye'er was very skillful, and in no time she had styled Ruoxue's hair into a flying cloud bun.

Ruoxue looked at the person in the mirror and smiled gently. Without the birthmark, her face was indeed stunningly beautiful.

……

As the woman in white, with bright, sparkling eyes and a smile playing on her lips, entered the hall, the Blood King's gaze flickered slightly, and his voice became low and hoarse as he asked, "Mr. Ruo, who is this?"

Ruo Yuhao was also taken aback when she looked at the newcomer; she really did look like her mother. Her eyes welled up with tears. "Ru Xun, where have you been all these years?"

"Blood King, you don't recognize my daughter so quickly?" Ruo Yuhao said calmly, his voice tinged with sarcasm.

"Mr. Ruoxue's daughter? Ruoxue?" The Blood King was taken aback. Although he already knew that Ruoxue was different from the past and that her birthmark had been removed by a mysterious person, he never thought that she would be even more beautiful than the women in the Demon God Realm who had transformed their appearances without the birthmark. This kind of beauty was natural and pure, which made him somewhat moved.

"Miss Xue'er..." The Blood King's voice was somewhat affectionate.

Ruoxue frowned slightly, then suddenly went berserk, bursting into laughter: "Blood King, hahaha, it's the Blood King!"

The Blood King was clearly unprepared and was somewhat stunned by her smile.

If Yuhao had seen his daughter wink at him earlier, he would have guessed that she wouldn't give the Blood King a good time. But he didn't expect her to use the same trick as last time, pretending to be crazy.

Ruoxue rushed towards the Blood King. In the past, when she was ugly, the Blood King avoided her like the plague. Now that she was stunningly beautiful, the Blood King did not dodge. Instead, he reached out to support her, saying, "Miss Xue'er, slow down, be careful not to fall."

Ruoxue lowered her head, rolled her eyes wide, and cursed inwardly: Does this man make a living by his looks? He avoids ugly people like the plague, but he'd practically throw himself at good-looking people!

If you want to pay me, you should at least see if you're qualified! Someone like you, even if I paid you, I wouldn't want you!

When Ruoxue raised her head, she had a pair of bright and lively eyes that were enough to make anyone who saw them linger. Her voice was very soft and gentle as she said, "Thank you, Blood King."

That look, that voice, made the Blood King feel somewhat elated. He took Ruoxue's hand and moved it slightly, as if caressing her.

Ruoxue frowned slightly, a sinister glint in her eyes. What a scumbag! He truly is a scumbag!

Ruoxue suddenly went berserk and kicked out fiercely. Blood King tried to dodge, but the kick was too fierce and too fast, hitting him right in the heart.

Ruoxue ran frantically to Ruoyuhao's side, pitifully saying, "Daddy, the Blood King is so scary, the Blood King is so annoying..."

Ruo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly. He turned to look at the Blood King, who was clutching his chest, and tried to suppress a laugh. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Your Highness Blood King. As you know, Xue'er's illness sometimes causes her to go crazy. She hasn't had an attack in a long time, but I didn't expect her to have one as soon as you arrived."

Ruoxue lunged at the Blood King again, but this time he dared not touch her and instinctively dodged. He thought to himself, "Wasn't she said to be cured of her madness?"

Ruoxue picked up a bottle from the table and threw it at the Blood King. The Blood King dodged it, and then a chair flew over. The Blood King dodged it again.

Ruoxue secretly reached for the silver needles in her sleeve, while her other hand was still fumbling for something else to throw over, and she secretly shot out silver needles.

Blood King had been dodging when he suddenly felt a soreness in his neck, and his body involuntarily slowed down. As he slowed down, Ruoxue threw a chair that hit him in the sadness, a vase that hit him on the head, and a blanket that hit his knees.

Blood King roared, and Ruo Yuhao feigned fear, saying, "Blood King, I told you long ago not to come. Xue'er can't control herself when she sees you. Look, she's having another episode!"

The implication of these words is that they completely shift all the blame onto the Blood King himself.

Ruoxue couldn't help but admire her father. His words conveyed a deeper meaning: It wasn't us who asked you to come. You were the one who was foolish enough to come. Even if you get beaten to a pulp, it's your own fault for asking for it!

Ruoxue felt that her father seemed eager to join her in throwing things at the Blood King, but considering his status, he clenched his fists tightly, pursed his lips, and then stopped laughing.

The Blood King said in a low voice as if fleeing, "Mr. Ruo, I must take my leave now. I will come to visit Miss Xue'er again when she is feeling better!"

After he walked away, Ruoxue patted the dust off her hands, raised an eyebrow and looked at Ruoyuhao, saying, "Dad, there's so much dust here. We need to have someone clean it up properly."

Ruo Yuhao said with a doting smile, "You silly girl, you have to be careful when you go out in the future. The way the Blood King looks at you makes your father very worried."

"We are no longer engaged, and even if I regret it now, it's too late." Ruoxue smiled gently, but a ripple appeared in her eyes. She hadn't left the house since coming to this world, but her father reminded her today that she should go out for a stroll.

……

"Miss, I'll go out with you—"

Ruoxue glanced at Ye'er and said coldly, "Don't follow me. If you follow me, everyone will know I'm Ruoxue. If you don't follow me, no one will know I'm Ruoxue."

Ye'er froze, about to say something, when Ruoxue had already strode away.

"Miss, please take me with you. Ye'er is now at the peak of the Demon God realm and can protect you!"

"I don't need anyone to protect me. If I can't even protect myself, then so be it if I die!" Ruoxue showed no sign of backing down and continued to stride forward.

Ye'er followed along the whole time, clearly determined to stay even if her mistress disagreed.

"Do you really have to come along?" Ruoxue suddenly tilted her head and looked at her with a strange smile. Actually, she quite liked this maid, but she didn't like being followed!

"Yes!" Ye'er nodded vigorously, her childish face full of determination. "Ye'er will protect Miss!"

Ruoxue pursed her lips, seemingly genuinely considering the matter. Ye'er lowered her head, waiting for her mistress's answer. Suddenly, Ruoxue exclaimed loudly, "Blood King, why are you here again!"

Ye'er hurriedly turned around, assuming a protective stance for her young mistress, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't find the Blood King. She asked in confusion, "Miss, are you sure you're not mistaken?" She slowly turned her head to look behind her, but there was no one there.

Ruoxue had already left the Ruo residence by this time. She didn't want to lie to Ye'er, but Ye'er was too stubborn. If she didn't use this method, Ye'er would definitely follow her out.

This was the first time I had looked around outside of Ruo Mansion since coming into this world.

She walked slowly on the road paved with white jade, and sighed inwardly. The divine realm is indeed the divine realm. The priceless white jade is just an ordinary stone used to pave the road in this place.

Looking around, there wasn't a single person here who was unpleasant to look at; everyone was a handsome man or a beautiful woman. But after seeing so many, it became rather boring.

"Alone?" A sinister voice entered the ear.

Ruoxue frowned. Why was it him again?

"The Blood King was truly pitiful today!" Han Xingyu said with a playful smile, "You woman, you really are ruthless!"

Ruoxue glared at him unhappily, her voice icy as she said, "Are you always so free?"

Han Xingyu stroked his chin and said with a wicked smile, "You're certainly quite free. What? Do you want me to go shopping with you?"

"If you're free, go find something to do, don't bother me all day!" Ruoxue tried her best to suppress her anger and said in the calmest and coldest voice.

"I'm looking for something to do right now. Following you is quite interesting!" Han Xingyu said with a roguish smile, showing no intention of leaving. He followed Ruoxue wherever she went.

"Can you get as far away from me as possible?" Ruoxue said through gritted teeth, her voice slightly distorted, showing how angry she was. She had just gotten rid of that girl Ye'er, and now she had an even more difficult tagalong. Anyone would be in a bad mood in that situation.

Han Xingyu smiled beautifully, said nothing, and continued to follow. Clearly, her actions were a way of telling her that she was committed to following her.

Ruoxue scratched her head in frustration, and the flying cloud bun that Ye'er had styled for her was immediately messed up, which made her even more annoyed. Her usually neat short hair had never encountered such a troublesome situation.

Ruoxue clumsily tried to fix her hair, but... the more she tried, the more tangled it became...

She even suspected that she might have been infected with the madness of the body's previous owner, and that seeing this man now made her unable to control her anger and go crazy!

Han Xingyu couldn't bear to watch any longer. His lips twitched slightly, and he reached out to tidy her hair, saying gently, "Let me tidy it for you..."

"Get lost!" Ruoxue pushed him away forcefully, angrily saying, "Meeting you always brings endless bad luck! What did I do to offend you? Why are you always bothering me! I finally want to explore the world on my own, why do you have to follow me? You ruin my good mood!"

After yelling, she didn't even glance at Han Xingyu, nor cared how messy her hair was, and went straight back the way she came.

Han Xingyu was slightly taken aback. She felt that there was some deeper meaning in her words, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Just as she was about to follow, two little figures suddenly appeared beside her.

"Father, my future uncle said that you've found us a future mother. Is she that fierce-looking person from earlier?" Han Yuyuan's voice was childish and cute, yet filled with deep sorrow. Today, after hearing her future brother-in-law say that her father had found her a mother, she secretly followed her father with her brother, only to witness this scene.
