Chapter 535: Fu San Splits Open

Her mood was like riding a roller coaster, up and down, giving her a taste of what great highs and lows feel like.

So she didn't know how to describe her current feelings.

"You say, the woman of your Your Majesty, the one who went to Guoshi Fu and stole the Five-colored Emperor Flower... the Female Lecherous Thief?"

Fu San pressed his forehead repeatedly, "Who else could it be? Apart from that woman, Your Majesty has no other women!"

"That damned Female Lecherous Thief, somehow learned a whole set of vicious skills, forcing my Your Majesty to obediently comply!"

Fu San muttered to himself nearby, his teeth clenched, making Ye Qingran's mouth twitch violently.

She was simply speechless.

After all that trouble, was she just eating her own jealousy?

She continued, "Fu San, are you sure that besides me and that... Female Lecherous Thief, your Your Majesty has no other women?"

Fu San was certain, "None!"

Having been by Your Majesty's side for so many years, Fu San has never seen Your Majesty have a relationship with another woman.

"Miss Ye, you know, Your Majesty has always been fastidious, and he only takes the initiative with women he loves..."

Ye Qingran let out an uneasy cough.

At this moment, she was completely certain that a Big blunder had just occurred.

She truly had a bout of her own jealousy.

Thinking back to how she once risked her life to infiltrate Guoshi Fu to steal the Five-colored Emperor Flower, only to end up with nothing and get herself stuck inside, Ye Qingran found it amusing.

Who could have imagined that incident not only marked the beginning of her intertwined fate with Fu Hanxiu, but also sowed a misunderstanding from then on...

Fu Hanxiu had never known that the so‑called Female Lecherous Thief was her, and she, for various reasons, had never been able to confess this to him.

In the end, it led to today's misunderstanding.

If Fu San hadn't stepped forward now, she and Fu Hanxiu would probably have been tossed about.

"Hehe~"

The more she thought, the funnier Ye Qingran found it.

She had to admit, life is like a play; the saying isn't without reason.

Ye Qingran lifted her head slightly; at this moment the clouds cleared, the moon shone brightly, the stars were sparse, mirroring her mood.

In the night, her laughter carried a lightness.

"Miss Ye, why are you laughing?" Fu San asked, his face puzzled.

She had just been crying, so why is she laughing now?

Could it be that learning the truth has shocked her into madness?

The thought tightened Fu San's heart.

Alas, Miss Ye is also a pitiful one!

All she wanted was for her man to be devoted; what fault does she have? Why does Heaven treat her this way?

"It's nothing," Ye Qingran said, looking at Fu San.

Thinking of how Fu San harbored bone‑deep hatred for her as the Female Lecherous Thief, how many times during this period he had cried in front of her, shouting to bring her to justice and employing every torture, she suddenly wondered how Fu San would react when he learned the truth.

"Fu San, actually, I know where that Female Lecherous Thief is."

She said in a dead‑serious tone.

"What? Miss Ye? You know where that Female Lecherous Thief is?"

Fu San's eyes lit up.

"Indeed."

"Where is she?"

"From your tone, you seem eager, don't you?"

Fu San squinted, his whole being turning into a cold, murderous deity.

"Of course! I've been searching for her for almost a year! If I catch her, she'll be boiled in raging fire and meet a terrible death!"

Ye Qingran clicked her tongue lightly.

How ruthless.

Hate her that much?

"Miss Ye, tell me quickly, where is she?"

Ye Qingran raised an eyebrow, "She? Far in the heavens, yet near before the eyes."

"Far in the heavens, yet near before the eyes?"

Fu San glanced around, finding the Courtyard silent and empty, not a single figure, except...

A thought floated into Fu San's mind.

Fu San slowly turned his gaze toward Ye Qingran; his eyes widened while his pupils gradually contracted.

Ye Qingran gave a half‑smile, laying it out, "To be frank, the Female Lecherous Thief you've been searching for is me."

To be frank, the Female Lecherous Thief you've been searching for is me.

To be frank, the Female Lecherous Thief you've been searching for is me.

To be frank, the Female Lecherous Thief you've been searching for is me.

The words, like a demonic chant, echoed in Fu San's mind, lingering for a long time.

Fu San stared at Ye Qingran without blinking, shocked beyond measure.

In the nearly one year since then, Fu San had mobilized countless manpower, material, and financial resources, imagined countless possibilities, yet never doubted Ye Qingran.

Because, in Fu San's mind, Ye Qingran was the most unlikely person in the world!

Thus, when the truth surfaced, Fu San could not bring himself to believe what he heard.

Hehe, Miss Ye, stop joking...

Fu San, the Three Fools, laughed.

Even if I killed him, I still wouldn't believe that Ye Qingran could be that Female Lecherous Thief.

This joke isn't funny at all. Someone as kind and upright as you... how could you possibly be a Female Lecherous Thief? Miss Ye, stop teasing me!

Ye Qingran: "......"

Indeed, life is like a play, entirely dependent on acting.

Who was joking with you? That night, I was wearing a Night Cloak, went to the bamboo grove in the backyard, and just as I was about to succeed, you all arrived. I turned and fled toward Fu Hanxiu's bath, and in the bath I saw Fu Hanxiu, who, having been poisoned by Tai Xu Bamboo Flower Pollen, instantly harbored wicked thoughts; it so happened that Fu Hanxiu was a Fallen Mortal, so...

Ye Qingran gave him a "you know" look.

Fu San understood, and the person also went foolish.

The facts indeed unfolded exactly as such, not a bit off.

In his mind, scenes from that night floated up.

It seemed that the black‑clad woman wearing a face veil, her eyes gradually overlapped with Ye Qingran's.

Fu San burst.
