With a loud "thump," Di Beiyao looked in the direction of the sound and saw Shadow Blade quickly getting up and hiding in the tree.

She pinched her nose somewhat awkwardly; in fact, she realized that what she had just said was a bit too far-fetched.

But there's nothing I can do. Claiming I was sent by the system to seduce him is even more absurd, isn't it?

Moreover, if he were to say this out loud, he probably would have even less hope of winning over Jun Wuji!

So she could only make something up in hopes of getting away with it, but judging from Shadow Blade's reaction, it seemed hopeless.

She felt that, given Jun Wuji's personality, he would probably lock her up in jail or something in the next second.

An eerie silence hung in the air, so quiet that Di Beiyao thought Jun Wuji had already left.

She looked at Jun Wuji, only to find him staring at her, his dark eyes filled with complex emotions she couldn't decipher. "Starting tomorrow, you will move out of the guards' quarters."

Di Beiyao was speechless. "..." Just as expected.

Her mission seems hopeless. But I suppose nothing bad will happen.

"Move to my bedchamber."

"What?!"

"Bang!"

An incredulous sound and the thud of a heavy object hitting the ground rang out simultaneously.

Shadow Blade looked incredulously in the direction of Jun Wuji and Di Beiyao, while Di Beiyao looked at Jun Wuji in disbelief. What, what's going on?!

Did she hear that right?!

Meanwhile, Shadowblade was thinking: Could my lord have also been possessed?

Jun Wuji, the instigator, remained remarkably calm.

Looking at Di Beiyao's incredulous expression, he actually felt a little...amused.

"What's wrong with my decision? Weren't you the matchmaker who arranged this wife for me?"

"Then what's wrong with moving in with me to cultivate our relationship and lay the foundation for being a good wife to me in the future?"

Di Beiyao "..."

There's nothing wrong with it, but she doesn't even believe the nonsense she's spouting!

How could Jun Wuji believe it? Although this was important for her to complete her mission,

This is a great opportunity, but based on what she's learned about Jun Wuji these past few days, could it be a trap?

"From tomorrow onwards, you will no longer be merely my left bodyguard, but also my future wife."

Di Beiyao was speechless. She felt a bit stunned and needed to calm down...

She's probably dreaming, yeah, very likely!

Jun Wuji was very satisfied with Di Beiyao's reaction. He strode up to Di Beiyao, appearing somewhat condescending due to the height difference.

Jun Wuji used his fair, well-defined fingers to pinch Di Beiyao's handsome chin.

"Then, my future wife, may you now tell me your name?"

His usually cold voice softened slightly at this moment, and combined with Jun Wuji's naturally magnetic voice,

At this moment, Di Beiyao felt slightly dazed from being seduced, and blurted out uncontrollably...

"Emperor Beiyao".

Jun Wuji's handsome, sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly. Di Beiyao knew what he was thinking and awkwardly began to explain.

"Well, my real name is Bei Yao, really, it's just that my surname is Di."

Jun Wuji was stunned for a moment, then a slight smile appeared on his eternally icy face.

He placed a kiss on Di Beiyao's brow, his long, narrow phoenix eyes gazing into Di Beiyao's starry eyes.

“Your surname is Emperor, and mine is Jun; we are a good match.”

After twenty-three years, I have finally waited for you, the one destined for me.

When the old imperial advisor passed away, he told him that in the future there would be a woman, a spirit with the surname Di, who would be his destined wife, and that this woman could help him unify the world.

He remained skeptical, for he had never heard of anyone with the imperial surname, whether in Canglan Kingdom or any other country.

Moreover, he had never been able to understand what a different soul was, but now it all became clear.

In fact, Di Beiyao had already suspected something when he returned. He knew the Left Guard's skills and feared that he was unlikely to escape death.

However, the theories of possession and otherworldly souls were far too shocking, and he dared not draw conclusions too quickly, thinking he should observe for some time first.

Unexpectedly, his guess was proven correct; indeed, the world is full of wonders.

Thus, from then on, he was no longer alone.
