Seeing the intimate scene inside the room, Bi Linglong took a step back, deliberately turned her back, and knocked on the door: "Excuse me, is it convenient for me to come in?"

Yun Yuqing blushed slightly and pulled away from Zu An's embrace as if she had been electrocuted.

Zu An hadn't expected Bi Linglong to pull this stunt, but he was thick-skinned and quickly recovered: "Ahem, Linglong, what's the matter?"

"I just received a letter from the Biluo Palace, specifically addressed to you." Bi Linglong handed the letter to Zu An.

He glanced at Yun Yuqing out of the corner of his eye, thinking to himself that the woman's posture just now was truly pitiful.

Do all men like this type? Am I too domineering in my daily behavior...?

Zuan was taken aback and hurriedly opened the envelope to check.

Bi Linglong asked, "Did Miss Pei send it to you?"

As an empress, she had already investigated most of the women around Zu'an.

Yun Yuqing's ears perked up instantly. Was it the girl whose breasts were even bigger than her sister's?

Zu An said in a deep voice, "The letter from Biluo Palace said that Manman was originally in seclusion for cultivation, but suddenly left a letter and left the sect, asking if she had come to our side."

Because of what happened in the sealed land, this world space fluctuated abnormally, and the Audio-Visual Mirror could not be used. So they could only send someone to deliver the message. Fortunately, Biluo Palace was a powerful sect, and the speed of the message delivery was no less than that of the army's urgent dispatch.

"Huh, Miss Pei didn't come to the capital. Where did she go?" Bi Linglong asked in confusion.

"I don't know either." Zu An couldn't help but think of what happened to Chu Chuyan back then, and felt a little uneasy.

She also disappeared during her seclusion, and when they met again, she had become a snow woman, giving off a feeling of timelessness.

The only saving grace was that the letter from Biluo Palace said that Manman left a letter voluntarily and did not disappear as mysteriously as Chuyan had.

With Manman's current cultivation level and the skills she gained from the last secret realm, she should be able to protect herself without any problems.

At this moment, Yun Yuqing suggested, "Why don't we split up? Brother Zu, you go find Miss Pei first, and I'll go back to the Demon Clan to investigate. After you find Miss Pei, you can come back to the Demon Clan."

"Forget it, let's just go to the Demon Realm." Zuan knew that there was no clue where Manman had gone, and searching aimlessly would not lead anywhere.

On the contrary, the demons' side is clearly in danger, so how could they let Yun Yuqing go on the risk alone?

The intelligence we received earlier indicated that the demon race also had traces of demonic activity, suggesting that they were probably the last remaining demons in this world.

Although the world currently appears to be protected by external barriers and has thwarted the plans of three groups of troublemaking demons, the world should be safe and sound.

But he still felt uneasy until he found out what was going on with the demons.

"But..." Yun Yuqing was touched, but she was still worried that if something happened to Pei Mianman, her brother would be heartbroken and she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

"Don't worry, Miss Pei's cultivation is very high, she should be able to protect herself." Bi Linglong was also a little dazed as she spoke. She felt that she had been working in the wrong direction in the first half of her life. Although political intrigue was important, it sometimes did not mean much in the face of absolute strength.

She had initially scoffed at that statement, thinking that with her own abilities, she could always create a situation most favorable to herself, and would never have to face an absolute gap in strength.

However, her helplessness in the face of the last coup in the capital, and the swift and decisive suppression of the entire capital by Zu An upon his return this time, deeply moved her.

It seems she'll need to spend more time cultivating from now on. Come to think of it, she was once a recognized cultivation genius, but after all these years, she's fallen behind her peers.

However, a few days ago she felt that her cultivation, which had been stagnant for a while, had improved a lot. Could it be that this guy's... really can promote cultivation?

No wonder he's always surrounded by so many beautiful girls.

"I'll leave the affairs of the capital to you and the Empress Dowager from now on," Zu An said apologetically to Bi Linglong. He always acted as a hands-off manager, letting them handle these specific matters. So these days, he specially compiled a cultivation manual for her based on her situation, so that her cultivation would be twice as effective with half the effort.

"I'm already quite adept at these things, no trouble at all." Bi Linglong thought to herself that she used to firmly grasp power in her own hands, and she could take this opportunity to share more with Liu Ning. That way, she could have more time to cultivate, and Liu Ning would be grateful to her...

Next, Zu'an bid farewell to everyone in the capital. Before leaving, he made a special trip to the Chu residence, as he was worried that what happened that night might have hurt Murong Qinghe.

As a result, Murong Qinghe, dressed as a newlywed, was seen sweetly with Chu Youzhao.

She has lost some of her former girlish naiveté and gained more of the gentle warmth and shyness of a young woman.

Especially when she would occasionally steal a glance at him, then lower her head guiltily, her face slightly flushed.

Zu An couldn't help but quietly pull Chu Youzhao aside and ask, "Does she already know?"

“No, I don’t know why she keeps looking at you,” Chu Youzhao said with a strange expression. “But brother-in-law, you’re really amazing. After that night, Qinghe really became very obedient to me and listened to everything I said. She comes from a military family and used to be very proud and strong-willed. She often argued with me about some things, but after that night, I got to decide everything.”

Zuan: "..."

“I will gradually open her heart so that she is not completely unprepared, but there is a very troublesome thing right now,” Chu Youzhao suddenly blushed slightly, “that is, she often comes to me at night. Although she may be shy and embarrassed to say it directly, we are husband and wife after all, and we can’t hide it from her for long. Since you are here today, why don’t you help me again?”
