The tragedy of the Shao family quickly reached the imperial court. The bloodletter a life for a life’ that Shao Zi wrote before taking her own life left a deep, heavy impression on the whole incident. The capital was where the emperor resided, and it had never seen such an atrocious incident before. Some old-fashioned officials almost went mad with rage. One of such old veterans took off his official robe and went to the morning court the next day dressed in civilian clothes. Upon seeing the emperor, he bowed his head and knelt down, “A life for a life is natural justice. This subject is willing to give up my old life to beg Your Majesty today. Please punish Senior Grand Secretary Yang and remove the harm from the common people!”
Yang Xiaoyu seemed to be exhausted. He closed his eyes and said sleepily, “Being my woman, you will benefit endlessly. As long as you serve me well, I can ignore the trouble you caused me until now. Don’t worry about my mother and grandmother — they won’t do anything to you with me here. Look, isn’t this Young Master treating you extremely well? Learn to please me, and good days will come to you. You should give birth to a child for this Young Master; a boy would be the best. Maybe you can become the mother-in-law of an imperial princess in the future. My cousin sister is already Shou Wangfei, and she is the future empress. As long as I make the request, she will surely wed a princess to my son.”
On the first night in the new house, everyone slept so soundly and got up late the next day.
When Fu Yunruo woke up, it was already past nine, far later than her usual. However, she still felt very tired and had to gather a lot of struggle and willpower to take herself out of bed. Next to her, Wenwen was snoring softly with his cheeks flushed, clearly still deeply asleep. Careful to not wake him up, Fu Yunruo washed and changed before walking downstairs with a yawn.
Si Yue was mocking him? It was a bolt from the blue for Wenwen. His little eyes widened like saucers, unable to believe that his trusted idol had not only peeked at his dark history, but also laughed at him for looking like a girl!
Fu Yunruo heard the commotion and came out. Seeing the two’s strange posture, she asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s been almost three years…” After finding out how long she had been away from her Father and Daddy, Lu Yaoyao felt very gloomy and sad.
Shen Changyuan was clumsy and didn’t know how to comfort her. The next moment, his figure disappeared in an instant. Lu Yaoyao blinked confusedly, but before she could react, Shen Changyuan returned. “Are you hungry?” He asked. Beside him lay a sturdy spiritual beast.
Finally getting a chance to fight against a guardian beast, Lu Yaoyao took out her small whip with impassioned enthusiasm. She flew over and carefully chose a protruding rock by the cliff as her landing place.
The spiritual snake’s whole body was purple, the same color as the flower stem. If one was not careful, one wouldn’t notice the snake slithering around the flower.
Yang Xiaoyu came out of the study with a gloomy look. He originally wanted to go out to see some friends and have fun over alcohol and women, but was stopped halfway by the family’s servants informing him that the Old Master had strictly ordered the Young Master to stay inside the house.
Yang Xiaoyu was even grumpier as a result. Since he couldn’t go out to find women, his only alternative was to choose one among the group at home. Yang Xiaoyu’s mind began to scroll through the list of his numerous concubines — he had too many women and had even forgotten the faces of quite a number of them.
The night in Starfallen Sea was very silent. Qin Xiumo and Xu Zijun were still on full alert, guarding their comrades as they watched their surroundings. Behind Meng Qi, Sikong Xing also stood guard; her fingers of her right hand stayed in position, ready to summon her trusted black wave at any time.
Chu Tianfeng folded his arms around his chest, keeping his eyes fixed on Meng Qi and Su Junmo. Under the bright starlights, his eyes seemed to flicker slightly, making it hard to see what was behind that gaze of his.
Wenwen ran upstairs with a small bag in tow. He stopped in front of a room, pushed open its door, and was instantly met with a beautiful bedroom decorated in a sky blue theme.
There was a white wardrobe inside, along with a set of matching study desk and chairs in the same color, neatly decorated with several photo frames full of Wenwen’s childhood photos. A large white bed stood against the wall, covered with a sky blue quilt with white clouds motif. On the bedside table was a photo frame with Wenwen and Fu Yunruo’s photos inside.
After completely out of the Ye sisters’ sight, Lu Yaoyao adjusted her posture and sat upright on Shen Changyuan’s arms. She then sighed like a little adult, “It seems that Cultivation Realm is not very peaceful!”
In Lu Yaoyao’s opinion, that scumbag had it too easy with just having one of his hands severed. She couldn’t imagine what would happen to the two beautiful sisters if she and Brother Yuanyuan hadn’t come in time!
