The reason for this fight was even more outrageous.

The two girls argued all the way from the Chen family courtyard to this open space designated for fighting, because they had a disagreement about whether or not to add spice to tofu pudding.

Moreover, this fight was more intense than any previous one.

If someone who doesn't know the truth saw this, they might think that the two girls had some kind of feud over a husband and a chicken.

boom--

With another collision between ice and fire, a powerful shockwave instantly spread out in all directions.

Even the ground beneath their feet developed cracks resembling a spiderweb.

"Phew, that's enough for today."

Because Bai Hua's nine-tailed bloodline is far stronger than Mo Xi's eight-tailed bloodline, Bai Hua actually has the upper hand in every fight.

Unlike in the past, today Bai Hua unusually chose to stop without taking any advantage of Mo Xi.

"Hey, did you let the water out today?"

Frowning, Mo happy looked at Bai Hua, who no longer wanted to fight, and frowned in annoyance.

As the Empress of Tushan, she would rather let Bai Hua take advantage of her with his strength than let Bai Hua look down on her like he did today.

"Hehe, we're not the kind of enemies who can't be fought to the death. Let's stop here, shall we?"

In stark contrast to her usual domineering attitude, Bai Hua not only refrained from bullying Mo Xi today, taking advantage of her bloodline, but even thoughtfully tidied a strand of hair on her forehead after the fight.

"You're singing again now"

What's going on?

She patted Bai Hua's delicate hand away, then took two steps back.

It has to be said that Bai Hua's behavior today was truly abnormal. So much so that Mo Xi even had the thought that 'this little bitch has been possessed by someone.'

"I do not know either."

Not angry at Moxi's disdainful attitude, Bai Hua simply shrugged indifferently: "I just suddenly wanted to be nicer to you."

"Stop being disgusting."

Rolling her eyes, Moxi didn't believe it: "If you really wanted to be nicer to me, why did you stop me from adding chili to my tofu pudding when we were at home?"

Bai Hua couldn't help but look speechless at this.

"This is a matter of principle, and it's completely different from my attitude towards you."

"Why do I feel like you're picking a fight again?"

"You're the one who's picking a fight, okay? That bowl of tofu pudding was clearly mine. You wanted spicy food, fine, but why did you have to add spice to my bowl?"

"What's wrong with me wanting you to try some spicy tofu pudding?" With her hands on her hips, Moxi said matter-of-factly, "Besides, how do you know it's not good if you don't try it?"

"Then why didn't you add chili to the young master's bowl?"

"It's his own fault for liking sweet drinks!"

At this point, both Bai Hua and Mo happy couldn't help but sigh.

Holy crap, how can anyone in this world actually like sweet tofu pudding? What a weirdo!

"Forget it, let's not talk about tofu pudding anymore."

Turning her gaze towards the Chen family courtyard, Bai Hua, with her back to Mo Xi, asked, "Mo Xi, let me ask you. Do you like the young master?"

"what?"

Mo Xi seemed a little flustered, probably because she didn't expect Bai Hua to ask such a pointed question.

However, out of respect for the dignity of the Tushan Empress, Moxi ultimately did not lie, but instead stammered out her thoughts about Chen Yuze:

"Young Master Chen is so outstanding, even if I... I'm in love with him, is that alright?"

"There's no problem. After all, I can't control your thoughts."

This was the first time Bai Hua had seen Mo Xi look so flustered, and she couldn't help but find it a little funny: "And from my perspective, it's not really a bad thing."

"Huh? When I said I wanted to stay overnight in the courtyard, you were the one who was most opposed."

"The past is the past, and the present is the present."

Bai Hua remained calm: "Besides, I would feel more at ease if I were to entrust the young master to you."

"Ok?"

This time, Moxi finally realized something was off about Bai Hua's words:

"What do you mean by handing over Young Master Chen to me? Can you explain yourself more clearly? Unlike Young Master Chen, I don't have the leisure to figure out your thoughts."

"It means exactly what it says."

He clenched his fist, then quietly relaxed it.

After taking a deep breath, Bai Hua slowly revealed the truth:

“I’m going back to Qingqiu tomorrow. So, I would like to ask you to take good care of the young master during this time. There are many people around him who need his care, but few people can take care of him. If you consider yourself a member of this family like I do, then please learn to share some of the burden with the young master.”

"You're going back to Qingqiu tomorrow!?"

Logically speaking, Moxi should be happy that her biggest competitor is leaving.

But when such a thing actually happened, she felt more of an inexplicable sense of loss.

“We are both empresses, so you should be able to understand this feeling of being powerless, right?” Bai Hua asked with a wry smile.

"Ah."

I have to admit, Bai Hua was absolutely right.

As empresses, they were destined not to act like Yuanbao, indulging their whims.

"Does the young master know about this?" Her tone softened considerably. Only now did Moxi understand the source of Bai Hua's unusual behavior today.

However, just as Moxi was preparing to calmly discuss Bai Hua's desire to return to Qingqiu as a family member or sister...

"Of course the young master knows."

A smile, brighter than ever before, slowly appeared on Bai Hua's face:

"I told him about my plans to return to Qingqiu two days ago after we finished our dual cultivation."

"Dual cultivation!???"

At that moment, it felt as if a thunderbolt had struck Moxi's heart.

"Bai Hua, you vixen!!!"

So all that buildup was just to show off my face?

175. I'll stay home and sleep tonight. (Fourth update)

It's night, and the bright moon is hanging high.

With the arrival of the Cold Dew solar term, the temperature in the Ten Thousand Mountains has dropped significantly compared to half a month ago.

With a delightful fragrance wafting through the air, Bai Hua and her sisters slowly emerged from the hot spring.

Soaking in the hot spring water gave their fair skin a beautiful pink hue.

Coupled with her still-damp hair, she truly resembled a lotus emerging from the water.

However, Chen Yuze was destined not to have time to appreciate this beautiful scenery today.

As the girls used their spiritual or demonic powers to dry their beautiful hair, Chen Yuze also...

Holding a storage ring, he approached Bai Hua.

"Inside here are pills and rare herbs that can help your successor complete bloodline evolution. I have already written down the specific usage instructions and put them in my storage ring. If you still have any questions, just use the communication array I gave you last time to ask me."

"Don't worry, young master. Even if there's nothing I don't understand, I'll still use the communication array to contact you every day."

Perhaps because she was going back to Qingqiu the next day, Bai Hua didn't care whether her sisters were watching or not. After carefully putting away the storage ring that Chen Yuze had given her, Bai Hua threw herself into Chen Yuze's arms and enjoyed this brief but warm 'limited-time exclusive' moment to the fullest.

After cuddling for a while, Bai Hua finally raised her head and asked in a coquettish tone, "Young Master, could you please grant me a small wish since I'm returning to Qingqiu tomorrow?"

"Of course." Reaching out to touch Bai Hua's cheek, Chen Yuze readily agreed.

"Then, please paint a picture for me, young master."

After taking two steps back and turning around in front of Chen Yuze, Bai Hua, dressed in a long blue gauze dress, gracefully sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.

"Row."

Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, Chen Yuze had only one thought when he took out the Four Treasures of the Study from his system space.

Just as Chen Yuze was drawing Bai Hua's portrait, Mo Xi reached out and tugged at Yuan Bao's sleeve, asking softly:

"Yuanbao, do you know what this successor that Young Master Chen was talking about with Bai Hua is all about?"

"Of course I know."

With a look that said, "Ask me and you'll know the answer," Yuanbao immediately began explaining to Moxi what this successor was all about.

As a result, after hearing Yuanbao's explanation, Moxi couldn't sit still.

She never dreamed that Bai Hua, in order to be with Chen Yuze as soon as possible, had already chosen a successor.

If it were Moxi herself, she might not have been as decisive as Bai Hua, able to abdicate so readily.

However, Bai Hua's incident did serve as a reminder to Mo Xi.

Although she didn't abdicate so soon, that didn't stop her from following Bai Hua's example and cultivating a successor for herself!

After all, there's a long road ahead, and being able to plan ahead and prepare for a long-term relationship with Young Master Chen gives one a bit of peace of mind.

"that……"

Just then, a bewildered Lu Qianya cautiously joined Yuanbao and Moxi's casual conversation.

As the person who had been in the Chen family courtyard the shortest, she only knew that Bai Hua was going back to her parents' home the next day, but she didn't know why she was going back.

"Sister Yuanbao, Sister Moxi, has something happened to Sister Baihua's family?"

"Bai Hua didn't say it explicitly, so we don't know much about it either." Tossing his hair, Yuanbao wasn't worried about Qingqiu at all. "However, there shouldn't be anything in this world that can stump our Qingqiu Empress, right?"

"The Queen of Qingqiu!?"
