The guests in the hall never imagined that the newlyweds would pretend to be drunk and slip away early.

The night wind was blowing, and Bai Jingchuan carefully took Qin Yanning's arm and flew back to his bridal chamber steadily.

Hot water had already been prepared in Bai Jingchuan's courtyard. Qin Yanning went to wash off the smell of alcohol on his body first, then sat on the bed bored and waited for Bai Jingchuan.

Bai Jingchuan returned to the bedroom shyly after a while. When he saw Qin Yanning wearing only a middle-length shirt, the usually arrogant little fox blushed.

Qingqiu’s weddings have few formalities, and Qin Yanning is not one of them at the moment. She leaned against the bed and smiled at the somewhat restrained Bai Jingchuan.

Bai Jingchuan waved his hand to let the servants retreat, and sat down next to Qin Yanning with a red face. Qin Yanning found his reaction really interesting and couldn't help wanting to tease him.

"You don't want to marry me?"

Bai Jingchuan was so frightened by Qin Yanning's words that his face almost turned from red to pale. He explained anxiously, "I didn't..."

"Then why are you so afraid of me?" Qin Yanning turned sideways and looked at Bai Jingchuan.

Bai Jingchuan didn't know how to explain for a moment, and could only let Qin Yanning put his hand on his shoulder. Bai Jingchuan felt as if a cluster of fire was burning from his shoulder to his whole body.

The fire came so quickly that it burned all his words to ashes.

After a long while, Bai Jingchuan finally grabbed the hand that Qin Yanning had placed on him. The young man's voice was hoarse, "I'm not unwilling, I just feel like this is a dream. I'm so afraid it's just a dream."

Qin Yanning moved closer to Bai Jingchuan, his warm breath spraying on Bai Jingchuan's neck. Bai Jingchuan couldn't help but shrink back.

Qin Yanning's voice was filled with a hint of charm. "Then why don't you try to see if this is a dream?"

Qin Yanning's hand stopped on Bai Jingchuan's shoulder. She pinched him with a little force. The slight pain made Bai Jingchuan sober up a little. He held both of Qin Yanning's hands in his palms and stopped Qin Yanning's movements.

The eternal lamp in the bridal chamber was flickering. Bai Jingchuan looked at Qin Yanning in his arms and couldn't help but kiss her. He could even smell the faint fragrance on Qin Yanning's body.

Qin Yanning hardly slept that night. Bai Jingchuan, the little fox who had been vegetarian for 170 years, had amazing physical strength. She was like a pancake being tossed over and over all night.

Qin Yanning just wanted to tell Madam Bai that the poison of the Earth Fire Lotus had no effect on Bai Jingchuan at all, okay?

Qin Yanning was in high spirits, but inside the Observatory, there was a gloomy atmosphere.

The demon hunters sent by Fang Zhijie searched the territory of Daxia for more than three months, but they could not find any trace of Qin Yanning, let alone the whereabouts of Qin's family.

Being bitten back by the blood bag he had raised, Fang Zhijie felt it was ridiculous. He was obviously the one who was sure of victory, so how could the situation change overnight?

Seeing Fang Zhijie's frown, everyone in the Observatory dared not make a sound, for fear that they would accidentally anger the Imperial Master and end up in danger of their own life.

After all, in private, this great Imperial Master is not as compassionate as he appears to be in public.

Fang Zhijie was getting angry, but someone didn't want him to feel happy. Then a palace maid's voice came from outside the Observatory, "Master Imperial Master, the Empress requests an audience."

Fang Zhijie clenched the cup in his hand and spoke after a long while: "Please let the Queen in, and you can go down."

Fang Zhijie didn't want to see Lin Yingfei, but the extract of the Ningling Flower on Jingshan Mountain had been completely destroyed, and the Ningling Flower had been dug up with its roots. He really had no way to deal with Lin Yingfei for the time being.

It just so happened that Lin Yingfei had given the blush to several wealthy ladies in the capital. Those ladies tried to ask for the blush back every day. Lin Yingfei couldn't give them anything and felt embarrassed. Her attitude towards Fang Zhijie was also much worse.

Fang Zhijie was already in a bad mood and no longer had the heart to coax Lin Yingfei, which was why Lin Yingfei came knocking on his door.

Of course, what Lin Yingfei was most anxious about was not the blush, but Qin Yanning's disappearance. The scheduled blood transfusion date was getting closer, which meant that the day when the poison would break out was getting closer. If she couldn't find Qin Yanning as a scapegoat, she wouldn't be able to enjoy the blush, let alone the whole world.

Thinking of this, Lin Yingfei's brows furrowed involuntarily, "Master Imperial Master, I thought you didn't want to see me."

Fang Zhijie looked at Lin Yingfei who walked in slowly, pinched his eyebrows, and forced a smile, "You misunderstood me, Yingfei. I've been busy looking for the whereabouts of that little bitch recently, and I really can't spare the time to see you. Please don't be angry with me."

When Lin Yingfei heard Fang Zhijie say this, her eyes suddenly turned red, which made Fang Zhijie lose his composure. "Tell me, why are you crying?"

Lin Yingfei threw herself into Fang Zhijie's arms and whispered, "I know you won't let me die. We are the only two left in this world who can rely on each other. Zhijie, I'm not afraid of death. I'm just afraid of leaving you all alone."

Fang Zhijie looked at Lin Yingfei in his arms, and even his heart of stone could not help but soften. Lin Yingfei was right. They had known each other as teenagers and had expressed their love for each other since childhood. If it weren't for Lin Yingfei's care for him back then, he might have died at the age of sixteen.

No matter what, he would save Lin Yingfei.

Fang Zhijie patted Lin Yingfei in his arms and whispered, "Don't worry, I will definitely catch that little bitch."

Qin Yanning naturally didn't know that Fang Zhijie had tried every trick in the book to appease Lin Yingfei. She only knew that the day when she would expose the true face of this villain Fang Zhijie was getting closer and closer.

One month after Qin Yanning and Bai Jingchuan got married, Qingqiu, Weishan and Jingshan called on all the demon tribes in the world and officially declared war on the Guanxing Tower.
