Upon hearing Ji Fengyao's voice, Shang Xiye and Guimian instantly turned around, their eyes widening in surprise:

"My little wife!"

"My lady!"

One person and one husky rushed to Ji Fengyao in a second, both with the same surprised husky faces.

"Ghost Face has grown a little taller, huh?" Ji Fengyao didn't even glance at Shang Xiye, but directly raised her hand to touch the mane behind Ghost Face's neck, smiling, very friendly, very amiable, and very happy.

Ghost Face obediently lay down, making it easier for Ji Fengyao to touch him, and incidentally gave Shang Xiye a teasing look:

Yoho!

Master, you're in big trouble now!

He kept showering her with flattery: "Don't you think Mianmian has lost weight, my lady? It's all because she misses you so much. You don't know how miserable Mianmian was on the Origin Continent. She traveled all the way from the Northern Region, crossing a million-strong army of demonic beasts to find the male master. Look at Mianmian's back, there's still a long scar there, from where the demon general stabbed her. Mianmian thought she was going to die, sob sob sob..."

While whimpering, Ghost Face glanced smugly at Shang Xiye, whose face was now as black as the bottom of a pot, feeling incredibly pleased with himself.

You dare bully me? I'm the only one favored by the female lead now, aren't you angry? Hehehe!

Ji Fengyao did as instructed and glanced at the back of the ghost-faced man's buttocks, where there was indeed a long scar.

Although the scars have healed, the hair on them is still bald and hasn't grown back, which looks quite frightening, showing how serious the injury was.

But the injury was far from fatal.

"Good boy, Mianmian, you've suffered. Here, have something delicious." Ji Fengyao knew that Guimian was trying to coax her, so she quickly took out several bottles of high-grade pills from her storage ring, poured them into her palm, and fed them to Guimian like candy.

Ghost Face ate with great relish, using Ji Fengyao's small hand as a sip.

This action not only made Shang Xiye's face darken even further, but also left the onlookers completely dumbfounded:

Holy crap! Are they seeing things?

This girl, who is as beautiful as an angel, is so wasteful that she feeds a husky several bottles of high-level pills like candy.

With so many high-level pills, can that husky possibly transform into a divine beast?!

"Little wife, why are you ignoring me? What did I do wrong?" Shang Xiye couldn't hold back any longer. He lifted his clothes and half-squatted in front of Ji Fengyao, while kicking away the ghost mask that his little wife was eating.

Ghost Face was happily eating when he was suddenly kicked and tumbled over: "...Woof!"

"What are you saying, Your Highness?" Ji Fengyao smiled and took a step back, avoiding Shang Xiye's outstretched hand. She smiled brightly and said cheerfully, "You escaped unscathed from a million demonic beasts and saved them from the brink of death. You are a great hero and a great contributor. You truly deserve to be called the God of War of the Great Zhao. You are so majestic and have done nothing but good deeds. How could you be wrong?"

Everything he said was kind.

This greatly shocked the onlookers, who all praised Shang Xiye for her changed opinion of him.

But Shang Xiye couldn't feel happy at all:

The young wife is acting the wrong way; she's furious!

The magpie behind couldn't hold back any longer. It put Little Thirteen in An Zijin's arms, rushed out, pointed at Shang Xiye's nose, and roared, "What nonsense! Young master, you've really disappointed me. You've only been separated from Miss for a short time, and you're already with this..."

"Xi Que, calm down, calm down," Ji Fengyao quickly stopped Xi Que.

"I can't stay calm. I promised the boss and his wife that if the son-in-law bullies the young lady, I'll beat him up!" Xi Que retorted, wielding his short whip with a whooshing sound.
