Unexpectedly, Shen Ruhui was already waiting at the teleportation point.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." She hurriedly bowed upon seeing Shangguan Hongyu.

Shangguan Hongyu smiled and said, "I am no longer the Empress, so there's no need for formalities when we meet again."

“Okay,” Shen Ruhui said with a smile.

She could understand Shangguan Hongyu; after all, if it were her, she would definitely give up the throne and choose to spend every day with the man she loved.

Being an emperor involves too many trivial matters, making it impossible to properly enjoy life.

Shen Ruhui's presence here may not be just for farewell; there might be something else going on.

Bian Lang asked with a smile, after all, he didn't want to waste time here.

"Brother Bian, can I go with you?" Shen Ruhui asked, her head bowed.

Bian Lang smiled and asked, "What do you think?"

"I guess I still can't go." Shen Ruhui sighed.

Bian Lang said, "Since you know, let's go home. We should get going."

"Will we meet again in the future?" Shen Ruhui asked again.

Bian Lang said, "That depends on fate."

If fate allows, we will meet again; if not, even if we try to find each other, we may never meet again in this lifetime.

Shangguan Hongyu smiled and said, "Ru Sui, take care."

Shen Rusui's lips moved, but she couldn't speak, as if a fishbone was stuck in her throat.

Watching Bian Lang and Shangguan Hongyu enter the teleportation array, Shen Ruhui stood there for a long time without leaving.

Emerging from the teleportation array in another city, Shangguan Hongyu smiled and said, "It's clear that Ru Sui likes you very much."

Bian Lang naturally knew that the affection in Shen Rusui's eyes was absolutely impossible to hide.

For Shen Ruhui, Bian Lang was probably her savior and so powerful that it was normal for her to fall for him.

But in Bian Lang's view, Shen Rusui was at most a friend, or perhaps not even a friend.

"Husband, if you want to take a concubine, I won't object," Shangguan Hongyu said with a smile.

Bian Lang said disdainfully, "We'll talk about it later."

The two soon returned to Justice Fortress in the Misty Forest.

The animals in the forest all made joyful sounds.

During Bianlang's absence, the Misty Forest remained peaceful, with nothing particularly noteworthy happening.

Whether it's Liu Yi and the others, or the multi-headed clan, everyone is working hard to cultivate and become stronger.

For example, Liu Yi has already broken through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

For example, Shi Wushou, Que Wuxiang, and She Wuxing all broke through to the level of six heads.

As long as they continue to grow stronger, that's the best news for Bian Lang.

After all, they will soon be fighting against the aquatic creatures of the four seas, and becoming stronger means being able to eliminate more powerful enemies.
