on the cold ground, my eyes fixed on that man's tall back, calling Song Wei's name.The door to the inner room creaked open a few times, and Song Wei replied in tears, "Xiao Qiao, the lock is broken,...Jiang Qiyun removed the silver light shield that had been blocking the doorway. The broken door lay on the ground, and outside was the luxurious washbasin.

Back to square one

Countless Star Lord held his sword, wearing a dashing robe, and nonchalantly raised one foot to rest on the washstand.

He sneered, "Your Majesty~ you're worried your wife would be frightened, so you jumped into the trap yourself Luckily, this Star Lord came to the rescue, or else how would you have escaped Hahaha..."

"Thank you, thank you!" I quickly said, "Many thanks to Lord Ji Dou Xing for your righteous help. Later I'll send you a large-capacity battery phone that charges in ten minutes and can talk for two hours, so you can play games sitting on the clouds!"

"Kei's expression turned cold as he scoffed, "A joke! This Lord has everything I desire. Why would I need anything from you But...it is truly possible to play games hidden among the clouds"

Poof... Me neither! I don't know how powerful the telecommunications company's signal towers are!

"Let's talk about that later. Right now, I need to check on my brother. If something happens to him, you'll lose a valuable teammate! You won't have anyone to play games with!" I rushed out the door anxiously.

Jiang Qiyun said coldly, "Mu Xiaoqiao, have you already forgotten what you just said"

Well... I had already put one foot over the threshold when I heard his icy voice. I quickly retreated.

"I'm so annoyed with you! Ever since you got married, you've become such a hassle! Even when we fight, you run back to check on the kids! You have to consider your wife and children for everything! What's wrong with you! What kind of marriage is this Why not just live freely and happily like before"

"Shut up." Jiang Qiyun glared at Ji Dou with a cold face.

"He just wouldn't listen, and continued, "Even if there was a purpose behind this, wouldn't it be enough to help her achieve happiness and live out her days peacefully after it was accomplished What's the need for marriage And what's with the eternal blood pact Why keep making things so complicated I truly don't understand your thinking!"

"Hold it!" Jiang Qiyun raised his hand, and with a roar like a dragon, his long sword flew towards Ji Du! It hovered just before him, mere centimeters from Ji Du's face.

"Just don't bother me," Ji said languidly. "What's the point Even if I told you the truth, would it help I'm not your subordinate, and I won't coddle your little wife."

I...

Am I really that much trouble

I have never interfered in or caused trouble for Jiang Qiyun. As an ordinary person, all I can do is protect myself as best as I can.

I'm not much help, so I won't get in the way. I've never been unreasonable and wasted his time.

Don't they all think I'm unworthy of Jiang Qiyun's compassion

Since I am the chosen tool, I might as well be a good one and not get emotionally involved.

"Mu Xiaoqiao, don't listen to him. He has no filter." Jiang Qiyun frowned.

I rubbed my face, rubbing the tears back, and adjusted my expression. "Well, things with my brother are more important!"

Jiang Qiyun softly hummed in response, turning his head to address Ju Duo. "This is my wife, the Immortal Empress of the Underworld. Whether or not you are my subordinate, you must treat her well! Otherwise, I will demolish your Star Palace and let you know what it means to speak carelessly!"

“You—!” Ji Du’s eyes widened, and anger flared up instantly.

Jiang Qiyun was too lazy to pay him any mind and vanished from before me in an instant.

The situation inside the venue is unclear, it's very dangerous, he took me there on an adventure which is distracting.

So now only I and Ji stood here, staring at each other.

"What are you doing! Why aren't you coming out yet" Ji said impatiently.

I rolled my eyes. This guy is such a jerk. No phone for him!

As I walked past him, I couldn't help but mutter, "I don't care what you have to say about it, you're not my wife..."

He immediately retorted, “If she were my wife, I would have beaten her up long ago!”

"First of all, you need a wife! You're speaking from a position of comfort!" I said, fuming.

He raised an eyebrow and stroked his chin, saying, "Oh ho~~ Mu Xia Qiao, you have some temper after all. So meek and obedient in front of the Emperor, making him dance around you."

"...I didn't coax him, you really meddle in too much," I said frowning.

Why is he suddenly targeting me like this Has he been upset with me for a long time

It shouldn't be like this… While I was recovering at home, even though my mouth was hurt a little, he never targeted me.

Could it be that he's angry Jiang Qiming knows there's a trap but jumped in to accompany me anyway

"...Jìdū Xīngjūn, you wouldn't be jealous, would you"

"Huh" Ji Du's eyes widened again.

He was handsome with a wild and unrestrained personality. The scars on his face were just faint traces, not looking so fierce anymore. His wide-eyed expression actually had a bit of an endearing contrast.

"It's not that Jiang Qiyun doesn't feel like sparring with you. Do you have it out for me" I asked in a low voice.

Jìdū let out a huff: "Is this Star Lord such a boring person!"

...who are you.

“I just can’t stand to see him so distraught over love! How many immortals have children and families And they run around in mortal homes every day The energy of your building is almost like a celestial palace now! Disrupting the balance of Yin and Yang—that's not what an honorable immortal should be doing!” He said angrily.

Alright, you're right. Since Jiang Qiyun built a palace in Nanshan, he should live there...

And he was so considerate, I just had to walk through one extra door.

A faint gray mist suddenly blew down the corridor, startling me—was it on fire

Just as I was about to hammer on the fire escape window, Ji held me back and yanked me in.

"What are you doing! You're going to die! This is tear gas!" He quickly tore off a piece of his sleeve and tossed it on the sink, wetting it with water before throwing it to me.

"Hold on, filter some things out, you've been around for a while now, haven't you Just use your incantations to dispel the plague! Get going, if you get lost I won't be responsible!"

"...You dare, Jiang Qiyun will tear down your house!" I hurriedly tied the strip of cloth over my mouth and nose, tying a knot at the back of my head.

Ji Du's forehead twitched, and I felt like if I wasn't so weak, he would have punched me.

Someone on the hallway had inhaled the fog and fainted to the ground. I couldn't help but take a few glances, but Ji scolded me a few times, saying not to meddle and to save myself first!

The mist grew thicker, how could one corridor be so long

I remember just coming out from the side door, it wasn't that far! How come it feels like I'm walking into the abyssal maze

I followed Ji Du's back as he walked forward. Now, I could only rely on him.

But going on like this, where will we end up The surrounding mist has turned into darkness!

"Jìdū, Jìdū... Wait a minute, don't you think we might be lost"

I couldn't help but reach out and tug at his shirt.

I could clearly feel his body jolt, and then he abruptly stopped. I ran straight into his back!

He turned his head, his expression completely off!

"Mu Xia Qiao, you should take this path…"e man capable of making decisions, and that's this man before me, with only half a face, the youngest son of the Zhou family.A disciple of the Shen family stepped forward to bow, then bowed towards me...
