Gu Bailu chucked a lump of mud at Xiao Jingyun’s forehead.

  “Whoops, my hand slipped. Unexpectedly, it didn’t get into your mouth.”


  Xiao Jingyun was so angry that his forehead twitched. If he hadn’t dodged, the mud would’ve indeed gotten into his mouth.

  He would make her beg for mercy one day.

  Gu Bailu curled her lip. “I won’t see you out.”


  She wasn’t interested in playing with such a disgusting person. The best way to deal with a person like this was to snatch away what he was most proud of and make him fall into the mud and beg for mercy.

  Xiao Jingyun looked at her back gloomily.

  Ye Qi said coldly, “Your Majesty, we won’t see you off.”


  Ah Luo said angrily behind Gu Bailu, “My lady, that man looks like a toad. I want to kill him.”


  “Be good, don’t be mad. He’ll be a dead fish soon. There’s no need to get mad over such a person.”


  Gu Bailu rubbed Ah Luo’s angry face.

  “Alright. When he becomes a dead fish, we’ll feed him to the dragon in the river.”


  When Bu Yaolian returned to the room, she felt it was quiet. The room was still the same, but without Shao Zun, it was eerily empty.

  She began to worry; she knew that this attitude wasn’t good.

  Shao Zun wouldn’t give up an entire continent of beauties for one person.

  If she was so dependent on him now, what was she going to do when he went to someone else later?

  He currently doted on her and didn’t go to anyone else.

  However, there were many beauties he liked in the Earthly Residence’s rear court.

  But when she thought about it, weren’t those beauties also just waiting for Shao Zun to summon them?

  Bu Yaolian lay on the bed and looked at the hazy moon outside the window. She was unexpectedly sad.

  She had to find something to do!

  She suddenly remembered that Shao Zun had taken her 100,000 liang. Should she look for it when he wasn’t around?

  Hahaha. After she took the 100,000 liang, she would like to see Shao Zun’s face.

  It would definitely be interesting.

  Bu Yaolian searched the room. There were no banknotes in Su Shenfan’s clothes.

  However, she found an old knot in his clothes.

  It was obviously a very old knot. The originally translucent green color had turned yellow, like straw.

  She remembered that she had once given Su Shenfan an exquisite knot, but it was new. This shouldn’t be it.

  Where did Shao Zun get this knot?

  Bu Yaolian frowned and examined the knot carefully. This handiwork looked like hers.

  But it might not necessarily be hers. After all, she wasn’t the only person in the world who had this skill.

  However…… such an old knot made her think.

  If the exquisite knot which belonged to the brother next door was still around, it would also be this yellow with age.

  However, the brother next door might not have held onto it for that long.

  Now that she thought about it, Shao Zun was a sentimental man. She wondered who had given him the knot, for him to keep it for so long.

  Bu Yaolian was a little jealous. The person who gave Shao Zun the exquisite knot must be very important to him.

  Otherwise, he wouldn’t bring it with him when he was out and about, even when it was too old to be an accessory.

  Was it because of this person that Shao Zun had never touched a woman before this?

  Bu Yaolian’s thoughts ran wild. Otherwise, why hadn’t Shao Zun touched a woman for real for so many years?

  The more Bu Yaolian thought about it, the more she couldn’t breathe. She put on her cloak and went outside, but the cold wind only made her feel even colder.
