Chapter 64: Do Not Fail Her!

Su Xi turned to face him directly and reached out to pinch his waist, "Your Majesty! I've given you enough face, you've called me 'Xi-niuer' three hundred and ninety-four times in one meal!"

Such precision was entirely thanks to Er Miao's calculations!

"Is that so?" Zhou Chuchen pulled her into his embrace and lifted her up with ease, "I'm tired, won't you keep me company while I rest for a while, Xi-niuer?"

"Three hundred and ninety-five!"

"There will be more! No amount is ever enough!"

An emperor who has awakened to love is like a wild horse that has broken its bridle; there is no stopping him.

The Imperial Guards all lowered their heads, blushing, pretending they hadn't heard or seen anything.

……

Xue Fu.

On the morning of the second day after Lady Xue's birthday celebration, she opened her eyes and stopped breathing.

Looking at Lady Xue, who had died with her eyes wide open, Xue Fuyi tried to close them for her, but could not.

She knew her mother had an unfulfilled wish. And she knew what this wish was: the one she had recited three times at the birthday banquet—kill Su Xi!

Now, all the glory of the Su family was concentrated on Su Xi; as long as she was killed, the Su family could be plunged into endless suffering and thus fall into ruin.

"Mother, your daughter promises you!"

Xue Fuyi raised her hand to close Lady Xue's eyes once more.

This time, they closed smoothly.

Forget it; rather than having a bone stuck in one's throat, it is better to pull out the thorn.

She did not care whether the Su family had snatched the fortune of Xue Fu. But if Su Xi had stolen her own destiny, she would definitely kill her!

Furthermore, although Rong Shou had expelled Su Xi from the sect, his eyes still held her shadow; once Su Xi was dead, that shadow would be gone for good.

After holding a simple funeral for Lady Xue, Xue Fuyi dismissed all the servants in Xue Fu.

In the vast residence, only one old servant with nowhere else to go was left to keep watch.

Xue Fuyi walked out of the main gate of Xue Fu, turned back for one last look at the plaque with its peeling paint, and left without lingering.

The day before the grand wedding, Su Xi was forcibly kept at home by Su Mu, who absolutely forbade her from entering the palace again.

Su Xi was indifferent, but a certain emperor was restless and agitated.

He had grown accustomed to the warmth in his arms; this sudden emptiness was simply unbearable.

At nightfall, he snuck out of the palace to find Su Xi.

He hadn't expected that Su Mu would guess he would come to steal a moment of intimacy, so she had Su Xi set up a barrier in advance.

Just as Zhou Chuchen was sighing at the barrier and preparing to leave, he suddenly heard a light and charming voice from behind him, "Your Majesty is truly impatient, unable to wait even a single day. How about I soothe you a little?"

Zhou Chuchen's expression turned cold as he turned to look at the person behind him, "Xue Fuyi, you are not back at the South Dao Sect cultivating; what is your purpose in skulking outside Su Zhai?"

"Is Your Majesty not also skulking?" Xue Fuyi wore a flowing red gauze dress, her shoulders lightly bared, looking alluring and seductive.

Zhou Chuchen remained unmoved by her seduction, "Under the vast heaven, all is the King's land; where I am, why should it be devious? It is all open and aboveboard."

"Heh~" Xue Fuyi sneered and withdrew her charm, "If you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, then come with me."

After she spoke, a Golden Silk Net appeared beneath his feet, and Zhou Chuchen happened to be standing right in the middle of it.

Fang Lao suddenly appeared, a streak of Sword Qi aimed directly at Xue Fuyi's dantian!

Caught off guard, Xue Fuyi hurriedly dodged. Realizing that Fang Lao's cultivation was above her own, she immediately moved to retract the net and take Zhou Chuchen away.

Zhou Chuchen moved, raising his hand into a fist and striking the net violently!

The Golden Silk Net shattered with a rustle!

Xue Fuyi was shocked, "This is a Superior Spiritual Tool! How can you?"

Zhou Chuchen did not explain, and another burst of Palm Force attacked her heart meridian.

Xue Fuyi immediately used a Superior Defensive Shield Tool to block it, but in the end, the shield was also destroyed.

"Your Majesty possesses the God-tier Dao Body that only appears in a prosperous age! His martial path is so accomplished it rivals the Incarnation Realm," Fang Lao stroked his beard and laughed.

Xue Fuyi gasped, "God-tier!"

Immediately, a sinister glint flashed in her eyes, and a Talisman appeared in her hand—the very one condensed by Rong Shou after he reclaimed all of Su Xi's defenses; the True Essence Power contained within it was nothing short of terrifying.

Inside the Dong Xiang Fang of the Su Zhai inner courtyard, Su Xi was eating a sweet tangerine while looking at the System Map.

【Er Miao, Zhou Chuchen is God-tier.】

【The host has struck gold.】

【... What kind of talk is that! I am Heaven-tier too, which is also quite good. Otherwise, why would you have chosen me as your host?】

【That is very true. Host, do you think the Emperor can block this Talisman?】

【The Emperor cannot block it, but the owner of the Talisman can sense it; as long as he comes, it will be fine. What I am more concerned about is, why does Xue Fuyi want to move against the Emperor?】

As the Talisman emitted a dazzling light, a figure teleported in and put the Talisman away.

Rong Shou looked at Xue Fuyi with a cold expression.

Xue Fuyi was shocked and wide-eyed, hurriedly kneeling on the ground, "Master!"

"Reflect on your mistakes in seclusion until you reach the Incarnation Realm," Rong Shou said to Xue Fuyi.

Xue Fuyi dared not utter a single word of dissent.

Rong Shou looked toward the direction of Su Zhai.

Su Xi sighed and said to Er Miao: 【My mother said I am not allowed to go out.】

Er Miao said: 【Perhaps Master wants to give a wedding gift.】

Su Xi: 【...】

"It's quite lively here," Su Xi opened the gate of Su Zhai, "Come in and have a midnight snack together."

Seeing Su Xi, Zhou Chuchen immediately walked over, "Xi-niuer, come back to the palace with me."

Su Xi: "..."

She patted his shoulder, "It's fine."

Then she cupped her hands in a salute to Rong Shou, "Greetings, Sect Master."

Rong Shou looked at her and Zhou Chuchen, and took a Jade Ruyi out from his Storage Ring.

"Thank you, Sect Master." Su Xi took it; it was a Storage Treasure, and inside was the congratulatory gift he had prepared.

Xue Fuyi kept her head lowered, her clenched fists digging her fingertips deep into her palms, almost piercing into the flesh.

"Xue Fuyi, I have also received your congratulatory gift. Thank you for helping me test His Majesty's intentions; I am very satisfied." With a single sentence, Su Xi turned this murderous situation into a farce.

The red garment on Xue Fuyi's body now felt exceptionally cold and soul-piercing to wear.

"It's just that you are still in mourning, so it would be better not to wear bright red." Su Xi took a set of Southern Dao Sect Dao Robe from her Storage Bag and draped it over Xue Fuyi, "Lady Xue has always disliked me, so I didn't go to add to her troubles. I will just say this to you here: please accept my condolences."

Xue Fuyi could no longer stay; she threw Su Xi's Dao Robe onto the ground with force, "Why act so hypocritically? It's disgusting!"

After speaking, she used Teleportation and left.

Su Xi picked up the Dao Robe and carefully shook off the dust that had stained it.

Rong Shou's gaze drifted over the Dao Robe, and finally, he looked at Zhou Chuchen, "Do not fail her!"

Although these words were spoken very calmly, Zhou Chuchen felt the intimidation beneath that calmness.

"Yes!" Zhou Chuchen cupped his hands in respect.

Su Xi took a bag of spirit tea from the System Space and handed it to Rong Shou, "A return gift."

Rong Shou looked at her eyes and brows, but in the end, he did not take it and left directly.

Su Xi sighed and said to Zhou Chuchen, "I have actually never understood what exactly he is dissatisfied with. Is it really just because of a birthday?"

"That is merely his excuse." Fang Lao, who had hidden his figure ever since Rong Shou appeared, emerged once more.
