"Indeed, your lady is so beautiful, she and you are truly a perfect match. You should treat us to some wine and share in our joy!"

"Yes, let's get to know Madam properly!"

Shang Xiye hugged his wife and grinned foolishly the whole way, not even having time to say a word.

Hearing these words of praise for her young mistress, Xique was overjoyed. With a wave of her hand, she declared with great pride, "Don't try to make fun of my young mistress and her husband. They definitely don't have time to entertain you today. This wine is on my behalf, as much as you want!"

"good!"

"Then we will be grateful for your kindness, Madam!"

"Madam is magnanimous, and her maid is indeed exceptionally magnanimous as well!"

The group of powerful demons immediately began to howl and howl, making the entire long street quite noisy.

Only the Snow Fox Clan and Snow Ice Spirit remained silent, unsure how to react or how to conduct themselves.

"Tsk, who was it that was just about to kill my master, and now they're so smug they're offering everyone drinks?" Ghost Face sauntered over to Magpie with his kingly little steps, bared his teeth, and mocked, "Miss, your face changes pretty fast."

"Hmph, what do you know, you single dog? You wouldn't understand even if I told you," the magpie said arrogantly, scratching its head.

It was written on the back of his head:

Single people don't deserve to talk to older women.

Ghost Face: "..."

I feel like my pure heart has been hit with a critical strike of ten thousand points!

This little girl has become quite impressive!

She's been practicing all this time, isn't she? She's been focusing all her time on improving her verbal skills!

While in Shang Xiye's arms, Ji Fengyao caught a glimpse of the large group of strangely dressed but incredibly powerful demons behind him. Knowing that the courtyard she had bought was far from enough, she secretly instructed An Zijin to buy several empty courtyards nearby.

An Zijin then quickly walked away first.

Seeing the powerful demons behind Shang Xiye, Ji Fengyao felt both depressed and happy.

What's frustrating is that after all that hard work, she's only managed to gather a dozen or so die-hard fans and a disorganized mob. Meanwhile, Shang Xiye, in the same amount of time, has amassed a terrifyingly powerful legion. It's truly infuriating to compare oneself to others!

What makes her happy is that he is her mentor, her husband, and her lover. The more outstanding and capable he is, the happier she is.

Back in the courtyard where Ji Fengyao was temporarily staying.

Shang Xiye, prioritizing love over friendship, carried Ji Fengyao directly into the room.

Xi Que and Wu Dongyu took the initiative to prepare the banquet and entertain the guests, and even Gui Mian stopped causing trouble.

He lay prone outside the room of Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao, pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed, shouldering the responsibility of guarding his master's safety.

Back in the Great Zhao Dynasty, after Lin Shuang left, all the daily necessities were entrusted to Xi Que and Bai Lu. Both Xi Que and Wu Hen loved wine, so Xi Que had enough wine.

Wu Dongyu ordered a large quantity of ready-made braised meat and some stir-fried appetizers from a nearby restaurant, which were delivered quickly.

Tables and chairs were quickly set up in the courtyard, and everyone sat together, drinking and eating heartily, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Outside, it was bustling and noisy; inside, it was sweltering.

Xue Bingling sat amidst the shouting crowd, biting her lower lip, glancing occasionally at the room where Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye were.

She kept thinking that she would only give up when she saw Shang Xiye's beloved.

She finally saw him today.

Judging from her appearance alone, Ji Fengyao was far more outstanding than she had imagined.
