"That was because I was being lenient with you. Otherwise, what right would you have to marry the master?" Gu Yanjin said with a dark face and a look of regret.

If I had known this would happen, I should have been more assertive from the beginning.

"Bullshit! It was clearly me! If it weren't for me, you would have had the chance to marry the master. Consider it repaying the favor you did back then. You should give me this opportunity instead." Huo Zhige made an unreasonable demand of Ye Wuxia.

Ye Wuxia scoffed, "You have the nerve to bring that up? Are you implying I should thank you for robbing Hu back then?"

"Shouldn't you be thanking me? If it weren't for me, would you be so lucky to marry such a person?"

"What are you thinking! Whether you allow it or not, even in the lifetime without the interference of the little mirror, it was still me and the master who got married. This means that I am the master's original wife. No matter how things change, the master will only give me a title."

"My lord, I wish to be with you."

Unlike the others who argued heatedly, Rong Xing went directly to Fang Ruotang.

His usually aloof demeanor was now somewhat urgent. He grasped Fang Ruotang's wrist, his voice, usually cold and detached, now pleading, "Please?"

"Oh no!" Gu Nancheng slapped Rong Xing's hand.

Rong Xing held onto Fang Ruotang's wrist tightly.

He knew that Fang Ruotang had regained her strength, so this restriction was of no consequence to her.

"Rong Xing, I've discovered you're quite cunning! You were like this before, and you're still like this now. You think you can steal her heart again after you stole her heart once? Dream on!"

Gu Nancheng shouted loudly at Rong Xing.

Rong Xing didn't even glance at Gu Nancheng, but looked at Fang Ruotang with his cold but affectionate eyes, his mouth uttering tender words.

"My lord, please let me stay with you! Is that alright?"

"I am very well-behaved and obedient."

Fang Ruotang looked at Rong Xing meaningfully.

Rong Xing's cheeks flushed, his eyes filled with shyness, but he was unambiguous in his attempt to seduce Fang Ruotang, his gaze almost becoming a tangible thing as he clung to her.

"Rong Xing, your desire to eat alone is too wild!" Cui Shixu chuckled, not bothering to argue with him any further, and instead focused his efforts on Fang Ruotang.

"Sir, may I take a look at myself? I am no worse than them."

Cui Shixu held Fang Ruotang's other hand, gently rubbing the skin on Fang Ruotang's wrist with his thumb, making Fang Ruotang feel a little itchy.

Ye Wuxia and the others stopped arguing and all looked at Fang Ruotang nervously, hoping that she would speak, but also afraid that the name she uttered would not be theirs.

"you……"

"grown ups!"

As soon as Fang Ruotang spoke, the six people eagerly chimed in.

He looked like he was afraid to know the answer.

Fang Ruotang raised an eyebrow, chuckled, and then asked somewhat coldly, "Who told you that I forgave you?"

"Clam?"

All six of them changed their expressions at the same time.

I was filled with panic.

"Sir, you don't want us anymore?"

"If you do something wrong, you have to be punished, you know?"

"My lord, we accept your punishment, but please let us stay with you, okay?" Rong Xing looked at Fang Ruotang expectantly.

Fang Ruotang was actually a little helpless. She felt that this kind of punishment was like child's play and very funny. However, the Six Meridians Crimson God Flower had been cultivating for tens of thousands of years. She couldn't possibly reduce them to their original form just because of this.

To be honest, she was also reluctant to part with it.

Therefore, we can only resort to this childish method to punish them, since that's all they care about!

What are you most afraid of?

Upon hearing Fang Ruotang's question, the six men, being so intelligent, immediately understood.

Rongxing said, "What I fear most is seeing adults every day."

Huo Zhige said, "What I fear most is kissing adults every day."

Gu Nancheng said, "I'm most afraid of sleeping with adults every day; my body can't take it."

As he spoke, Gu Nancheng even winked at Fang Ruotang, showing no signs of being overwhelmed. He was acting like a charming womanizer, saying, "My lady, come and have some fun!"

Gu Yanjin gritted his teeth and didn't answer.

He knew that if he told her, Fang Ruotang would definitely punish him on purpose, but he also knew that even if he didn't say anything, Fang Ruotang knew what he was thinking.

"Sir, you wouldn't be so cruel, would you?"

Cui Shixu looked at Fang Ruotang tenderly, his eyes pleading.

Fang Ruotang smiled lightly, "No! I am just that cruel. Hmm, don't you think I'm very good to you? This kind of punishment is nothing to you."

The six of them trembled and spoke in unison.

"Sir, what are you talking about?"

They would rather be whipped a hundred times a day than have Fang Ruotang abandon them.

They wouldn't think Fang Ruotang was being kind; it was clearly cruel. She knew they couldn't bear to part with her, yet she deliberately did this.

The six of them looked at Fang Ruotang with extremely aggrieved eyes.

Fang Ruotang smiled contentedly.

If I can't hurt their bodies, then I'll hurt their hearts!

Who says physical abuse has to be the only form of punishment? Emotional abuse can be just as bad.

"My lord, I really know I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. My lord, please change the punishment!" Gu Nancheng looked at Fang Ruotang with a wronged expression and said in a sticky voice, "If I can't see my lord, I will wither away."

"No, evil deeds live on for a thousand years. You have to believe in yourself."

Gu Nancheng: ...

He didn't believe it.

Fang Ruotang remained calm and composed, clearly watching their antics with an expression of indifference.

Rong Xing and the others could also see that Fang Ruotang had made up her mind and would not change it just because they pestered her a few times, just like when she said goodbye to everyone.

Once she's made up her mind, no one will change it.

"Then, how long will it take?"

"It depends on my mood."

Rong Xing pursed his lips. "You should at least give us a deadline! You can't keep us waiting like this indefinitely. You're being too cruel."

cruel?

Fang Ruotang smiled.

"You don't have to wait."

He remained silent, as if frozen in winter.

His gaze swept over Fang Ruotang, whose lips curled into a cold smile.

He felt flustered.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Fang Ruotang remained silent.

Everyone else immediately quieted down, and no one made a fuss anymore.

Fang Ruotang ignored them and lay down in the sacred wood coffin. She closed her eyes and whispered, "I want to go to other worlds to see and experience the joys of mortals. You... must not follow me. Take heed of this."

After Fang Ruotang finished speaking, she closed her eyes.

At that moment, the soul left the body.

The little mirror had already been bound by Fang Ruotang's soul, and at this moment it followed her.

"Sir, I suspect you're engaging in entrapment."

Oh, really?

Yes, they will definitely follow you to various small worlds.

After all!

They are the Six-Pulse Crimson God Flower, known for their intense jealousy; how could they possibly allow you to experience the pleasures of mortals with someone else?

【Oh……】

Fang Ruotang let out a soft laugh, which drifted away in the wind.
