Chu Qingxuan leaned towards the latter. If Nan Muchen was going to the New World to find someone he liked, given his personality, he wouldn't stay here for long.

He wouldn't even accept the position of sect leader.

Chu Qingxuan's lips curled into a smile. Perhaps she should give Nan Muchen a try.

After leaving Chang'an Palace, Chu Qingxuan returned to Handan Palace. Inside, a handsome man and a beautiful woman were embracing. The man was tall and slender, with his head down, while the woman in his arms looked up and gazed at him with a smile.

It was as if the two of them would kiss at any moment.

Chu Qingxuan crossed her arms and watched the two interact with a smile until Ouyang Xue pushed Feng Li away and then straightened her clothes.

She looked at Chu Qingxuan with disapproval on her face, "Little Master, it's not good to peek."

Chu Qingxuan raised her chin slightly and said with a smile, "I didn't peek; I was looking openly and honestly."

Feng Li held Ouyang Xue in his arms and said with a smile, "Your Highness, I think it's fine if Little Master wants to see it. I won't mind."

Chu Qingxuan raised an eyebrow, "How about... you get married today?"

"Okay!" That was Feng Li's voice.

“No!” Ouyang Xue said.

Chu Qingxuan looked at Nan Muchen with disdain and said, "Your Highness, you're not very capable. You couldn't even handle my disciple like this. Do you need my help?"

Feng Li snorted, "Whether it works or not, only my queen will know."

After saying that, he looked down at Ouyang Xue and asked softly, "Is that right, Your Highness?"

Ouyang Xue's cheeks flushed slightly: "..."

Chu Qingxuan chuckled and said, "Alright, I'm going in. I won't disturb you two's lovey-dovey display."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Qingxuan disappeared from the courtyard.

After Chu Qingxuan left, Feng Li hugged Ouyang Xue tightly, "Your Highness, let's continue."

Ouyang Xue glared at Feng Li, shoved him aside, and created some distance between them. "Get lost!"

"How heartbreaking! The princess actually told me to get out, but... if she wanted me to roll onto the bed, I'd be more than happy to!"

Ouyang Xue: "..."

"Of course, it would be best if the princess and I rolled around together."

A scream came from the courtyard.

Upon entering the room, a plaintive voice echoed from a dimly lit corner, "Finally decided to come back?"

Lan Yi licked his belly, which was already flat.

Starving.

Chu Qingxuan glanced at Lan Yi and said calmly, "Go find Zhi Rong and ask her to prepare some food for you."

Lan Yi was slightly taken aback; this woman seemed to have something on her mind.

He raised his voice and asked, "What? You got bullied just for going out for a short while?"

"Whoever bullied you, I'll scratch their face and disfigure them!"

Lan Yi was filled with righteous indignation, while Chu Qingxuan was at a loss for words.

"Lan Yi, you're a pet, don't be so violent."

Lan Yi protested, "Who said it's a pet? I am a divine beast, after all. Can those mixed-up creatures compare?"

Chu Qingxuan glanced at the lazy little red fox lying on the ground and thought to herself: It's gotten fatter again!

She looked at her with disdain and asked, "You?"

Mythical beasts?

Sensing the disdain in Chu Qingxuan's words, the red fox on the ground immediately jumped up, but because it was too fat, it looked clumsy.

Chu Qingxuan bent down and picked Lan Yi up, then said, "When you first came here, you were so slim. How did you get so fat in just over two years?"

After saying that, Chu Qingxuan added, "He's gotten quite a bit heavier."
