He was afraid that Gu Bailu would mess around on her own after he left.

  “Alright, I promise not to leave the palace,” said Gu Bailu.

  Feng Qingtian nodded. “Alright.”


  If he told her to rest now, she probably wouldn’t listen. It would be fine as long as she didn’t leave the palace. The people watching her would also be able to protect her easily.

  Feng Qingtian stood up and was about to leave, when Gu Bailu pulled his sleeve. “My lord, I know that you’re very powerful, but you have to be careful yourself. I’ll be worried if you get hurt.”


  Feng Qingtian took her hand and kissed it. “It’s fine, there won’t even be a hair out of place.”


  “Tsk, my husband is so confident.”


  Feng Qingtian put her hand under the blanket, turned around, and took seven, eight, nine, ten…… Who knew how many guards he took with him.

  He snuck out the window of the palace.

  The imperial guards of Rising Clouds Kingdom were watching the front of the palace, so Feng Qingtian naturally couldn’t use the front door.

  Gu Bailu’s back hurt a little, which was why she stayed in bed. When it was a little better, she would get up and to a divination; perhaps she might be able to sense it if her parents’ souls were close by.

  She touched the Soul Collecting Bracelet on her left wrist. “You were given to me by my parents, you should be able to help me find them.”


  The Soul Collecting Bracelet flashed with a white light and quickly disappeared.

  Gu Bailu smiled. It seemed it was possible.

  Su Shenfan dragged Bu Yaolian back to the bedroom. She looked at his back and asked in confusion, “Shao Zun, what did you mean about a fight earlier? You were just in battle, you should rest well.”


  Su Shenfan turned around and looked at her. “I didn’t use my full strength just now. I’m not satisfied at all. You can play with me later.”


  “How…… how? I…… can’t beat you. I have so little spiritual power.”


  “You don’t have to fight; you just need to know how to use your mouth.”


  Bu Yaolian raised her eyebrows. Use her mouth?

  A battle of words?

  She was good at scolding!

  Bu Yaolian became excited and was about to roll up her sleeves.

  Su Shenfan threw her onto the couch and pinched her chin. “Are you happy to fight with me?”


  “Of course. It’s my honor to accompany you, Shao Zun. I will definitely perform well.” Bu Yaolian then asked, “When do we start?”


  “There’s no rush. We’re dirty. Let’s wash up first.” Su Shenfan took off his outer and inner robes, revealing his strong and flexible upper body. Under the light, it looked especially alluring with a glowing sheen over it, like a roasted chicken drumstick.

  Bu Yaolian’s stomach growled.

  Su Shenfan turned around and gave her a disdainful look. “It’s a miracle that you haven’t starved to death after not eating to keep your figure.”


  Bu Yaolian felt wronged.

  “I only felt hungry after seeing Shao Zun’s body. I wasn’t hungry at first!”


  Su Shenfan’s eyes darkened. He leaned closer and asked, “Do you want to eat it?”


  Bu Yaolian nodded. “Yes, I do.”


  Su Shenfan said in a low voice, “I’ll let you eat something different today.”


  Bu Yaolian looked at him curiously. “How is it different?”


  Su Shenfan looked at her clear eyes and inwardly scolded her for being such a seductive vixen.

  “Go and wash up. You’ll get to eat once you’re clean.”


  Su Shenfan went into the bathroom first.

  Bu Yaolian looked at his back and thought that he probably wouldn’t go out tonight.

  She remembered the look which Gu Bailu had given her when she left, telling Bu Yaolian to keep Su Shenfan busy tonight so that he wouldn’t go out.
