These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

The world doesn't stop functioning just because someone leaves; and a person is ultimately just a person.

The one thing this world has in abundance is people.

"Are you alright walking?"

Wei Tu asked softly, as if he were talking about the most normal thing.

The girl beside him immediately glared at the boy with a mixture of shyness and anger.

"What nonsense are you talking about..."

"I'm just worried about you. I'm afraid it will hurt when you walk, so I'm prepared to carry you on my back."

"You still dare to talk! You still dare to talk!!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Now that they were outside, Su Mi didn't dare to be as unrestrained as she was in her room.

Although Wei Tu didn't care about the stares of these people, she still couldn't help but feel embarrassed about the young girl.

The two left through the city gate, where the area was in a mess, and a group of people were nervously dealing with something.

The figure hanging on the city gate had disappeared, so it seems they had put in a lot of effort.

Su Mi glanced at Wei Tu secretly, then whispered.

"Senior brother, are you really sure it's okay for you to do something like this?"

Wei Tu pretended not to understand and looked at Su Mi.

"What is it?"

"Senior brother, are you still pretending... Did you do something really outrageous to her?"

Su Mi asked softly.

Wei Tu thought for a moment, "I already said, nothing too outrageous, I just reasoned with him... You know what reasoning is, right?"

"You want to reason with your fists, huh?"

"Junior sister, you really understand me. I think that fists are the hardest truth in the world."

"So let's hurry up and leave, it wouldn't be good if they came looking for trouble."

Su Mi grabbed the boy's sleeve and quickly left Jiuyang City.

Wei Tu looked at the young girl with amusement. Although she seemed to be protecting her husband a little, but...

"You really don't trust your husband enough. You think you can cause me trouble with just this few people?"

“Who said I don’t trust you? I just don’t quite trust your temper. What if there are a lot of people coming and you can’t help yourself, causing too much karma? It will affect your own future, senior brother.”

Clearly, the girls who were completely focused on this boy have started to consider his future.

Wei Tu just smiled and said, "Don't worry, your senior brother isn't so weak that you have to think about these things for me."

Su Mi, however, reached out and grabbed the boy's ear in dissatisfaction.

"What did I tell you last night?"

Wei Tu quickly begged for mercy.

"Yes, yes, yes... I'll definitely listen to my wife and not show off..."

"What were you doing just now?"

"Isn't this... an explanation?"

I'm worried about you.

"Okay, okay, let's hurry up and go. If we get caught, we're doomed. I'm scared to death."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Su Mi smiled happily.

Although she knew that the boy wasn't really afraid of these things, nor was he really afraid of her, and that what he was doing was more of a pretense.

This is easy to see. After all, how could such a proud young man give up his principles for a woman?

But... I'm already happy that he's showing this kind of attitude; at least he's still trying to comfort me.

There are no men who are truly afraid of their wives, only men who truly respect their wives.

This is the best experience of love. These details allow a young girl to feel that the man truly cherishes her and holds her dear, just as he said.

The two of them, like a divine couple, wandered the mortal world.

They walked through dense forests, occasionally camping in the wild, lighting a campfire, and she would sleep in the boy's arms.

There's no need to separate or isolate; going to other places, all those concealments seem unnecessary.

Although they all knew that some pretense would still exist when they returned to the mountain gate, that's why they seemed to cherish every second they spent in the mortal world, clinging to each other and unwilling to leave.

The girl nestled against the boy's chest was like a gentle lush bush.

She let him caress her flawless white back, over all her bones, even her delicate waistline and soft, perky buttocks.

Now the girl doesn't see it as being a pervert anymore; it seems more like simple tenderness.

Because I belong to him, because he possesses me.

So despite this, despite his occasional lewdness, his occasional hooliganism, and even his lustful desires, Su Mi didn't think much of it.

As long as he's happy, that's all that matters. So this is what it feels like to truly be possessed by someone.

Su Mi nestled against the boy's chest, wishing she could fall asleep in his arms every day like this.

Whether it's a cold winter day or a sweltering summer day, she wants it to stay like this forever, never to be separated from him for even a moment.

Because... this is the person she loves most, the only man she has ever loved.

Wei Tu didn't do anything tonight. Partly because he felt sorry for her health, but more importantly, he knew that their relationship was not just about desire, and what he needed to do was to make up for all the regrets.

He has always had her, allowing her to feel the security and all the love he gives her.

Tonight is beautiful.

May the flowers bloom and the moon be full, and may everyone be safe and sound.

Meanwhile, in the city of Chaoge, a woman dressed in a dragon robe had a calm and composed expression.

She sat in the chair in the imperial study, quietly, even with a deep gaze, looking at the man kneeling in front of her.

He cried and wailed, even banging his head so hard that deep bloodstains appeared on his forehead.

He was practically crying uncontrollably.

"Your Majesty!! You must investigate thoroughly! This old minister... this old minister only has one son! Only one son! He has now had his legs and hands cut off, this is simply too... too outrageous! Your Majesty, you must seek justice for this old minister... my poor son... he was only thirty years old... he didn't even have a son, and now this has happened to him, you must do justice for this old minister!!"

His wailing sounded so heartbreaking that it seemed to move anyone who heard it.

Ye Bingluan, however, appeared remarkably calm and spoke slowly.

"You don't even know who did it... how can I help you?"

Dugu Ming, who was kneeling on the ground with his head in his hands, seemed to be sobbing uncontrollably.

“Your Majesty… when this happened… my son’s steward was there, and he heard it… that person… was Wei Tu!”

“Wei Tu…”

Ye Bingluan's expression flickered for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.

Dugu Ming continued.

"That's right... it's... it's Wei Tu, the Imperial Advisor appointed by Your Majesty!! He actually... actually laid such a cruel hand on the son of this old minister! This son... has no regard for the law, he's utterly arbitrary, he has no respect for the Great Shang Dynasty, no respect for Your Majesty at all!!"

Ye Bingluan couldn't help but frown as she looked at the man.

"The law... Do you know nothing about what your son has done? I do know a little. What he did in the army displeased many allied nations. I spared him punishment because he is your son, and instead made him the lord of Jiuyang City, hoping to temper his character and encourage him to think more about how to be a mature man. But what did he do to the refugees of Zhishan? Others appeased them, but he killed them all! Your son is your son, but don't those refugees of Zhishan have sons, parents?"

Even some elderly people, women, and children were among them! Is your son completely innocent? Does he think he has no regard for the law?

The man kneeling on the ground accurately captured the emotions in the empress's words.

He also knew that although his son had some abilities, his temperament was too eccentric, and the things he did that even he himself could not control were naturally outrageous and infuriating.

So he immediately said.

"Your Majesty... no matter what your rebellious son is like... at least he is still working for the Great Shang, at least he still has Your Majesty and the court in his eyes, and he is still acting within the rules... but what Wei Tu did is simply unimaginable! He didn't even give any notice, appearing and disappearing like a ghost, and turned this old minister's son into this..."

It's clear he has absolutely no scruples, doing whatever he wants... Your Majesty, perhaps he did this today because of his displeasure with his rebellious son, and because he is the Imperial Advisor, it seems there's no problem with what he's doing. But what if... one day he becomes dissatisfied with the old ministers, dissatisfied with the court officials, or even with you..."

"What did you say?"

Ye Bingluan looked at Dugu Ming with a gloomy expression.

Dugu Ming immediately kowtowed repeatedly.

"Your Majesty! I deserve to die! I was just talking nonsense... But this is all out of my loyalty! This is my concern for the future... I am thinking of Your Majesty completely. This child is unrestrained and has already begun to affect Your Majesty's reputation. If this continues, it is unimaginable what kind of misdeeds he will commit!"

Ye Bingluan looked coldly at Dugu Ming.

"He's a cultivator, what do you expect me to do? Send those ordinary soldiers to kill him? Can you even do that?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Ming was overjoyed, knowing that the empress had begun to waver. Which emperor wasn't suspicious? Which emperor wasn't greedy for his imperial power?

So he immediately said.

"Your Majesty... it's not that he can't do everything... First, if you remove him from his position as Imperial Preceptor, he will lose his protective shield and won't dare to kill indiscriminately, otherwise he will suffer the backlash of Heaven! And next... Your Majesty, only cultivators can deal with other cultivators. What does it matter to us if immortals fight? Your Majesty, this is the best opportunity. We must nip these evil cultivators in the bud!"

Ye Bingluan remained silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"You may leave now, I will think about it."

"Yes!"

Dugu Ming left, tears still on his face, but his heart was filled with uncontainable joy.

Yes, she will be wary. She has already begun to have doubts. If the plan goes smoothly... her protective umbrella... will be gone.

In the quiet Imperial Study.

Ye Bingluan slowly stood up, looked in the direction of the door, and suddenly gave a cold and disdainful smile.

"They're all just looking out for themselves." PS: Time to watch the game! Time to watch the game!!
