Now that she has accepted Shen Muzhi as her man, as long as Shen Muzhi does not betray her, they will share the same fate, whether it be prosperity or ruin.
If Shen Muzhi himself didn't want to be emperor, that would be fine. But since Shen Muzhi wanted to, she had no reason to demand that he give up the throne. She wasn't a stupid fool.
As if knowing Yanxiao's thoughts, the guardian deity pulled her back into that empty white space.
Yan Xiao felt a sudden darkness before her eyes. When she could see again, she saw her guardian staring at her with round eyes, gritting his teeth, and beginning to complain:
"You monster, did you even hear what I said? Immediately, make Shen Muzhi give up that idea, or we're all doomed."
Yan Xiao was somewhat displeased, and her tone wasn't very polite:
"Can you please not drag me to this godforsaken place without my permission? Don't I have any human rights?"
Upon hearing this, the guardian deity jumped up in anger: "You're about to lose your life, and you still want human rights? Do you think I wanted to drag you in? Do you know how much divine power it takes me to drag you in?"
Yan Xiao retorted without backing down: "You make it sound like I begged you to drag me in. Didn't you ask for this?"
"You, you, you, you..."
The guardian spirit was so angry that it stomped its feet, but couldn't find a rebuttal. Finally, it resorted to its old trick, sat down on the ground, and started howling.
"You female liar! You promised that if I gave you the female lead's destiny, you would help me get the world back on track. You broke your promise! Women's mouths are deceitful! This god is truly unlucky!"
"Alright, shut up, you're so noisy."
Yan Xiao was annoyed by the noise, but she had to admit that the collapse of the world was indeed a big problem. Did she really have to go back to farming with Shen Muzhi in the future?
or......
Yan Xiao's eyes lit up as she thought of a solution, and she immediately looked at the guardian spirit with some excitement and asked:
"Is it just a matter of Shen Muzhi not becoming emperor, then passing the throne to me would be the same thing, wouldn't it?"
Yan Xiao thought about it more and more and it seemed feasible. How wonderful it would be if she could sit on the throne and have Shen Muzhi do her bidding. It was a beautiful thought.
But her beauty didn't last long; she soon saw her guardian spirit looking at her with a mocking expression.
"Stop dreaming. In the original story, the world was at peace in the finale. Wei Wuxiu became the emperor, Shen Muzhi returned to his hometown alone with his horse, and Jiang Xinrui chose to return to Medicine King Valley because she remembered her master's last wish."
Now that you've replaced Jiang Xinrui, you're the female lead. If you become the emperor, wouldn't everything be in chaos?
"None of the three main characters are in their proper roles. Do you think you can pull it off?"
He choked on his laughter and immediately deflated.
Seeing that she had calmed down, the guardian spirit quickly lowered his voice and earnestly advised her:
"The ending can't be messed up. When you get back, you must make Shen Muzhi give up this idea."
Don't you like money and enjoy life? Then just have Shen Muzhi save up more money so you can live a life of comfort and ease, right?
What's so great about being an emperor? You have to deal with a mountain of things every day. Look at history, how many emperors actually died young? Let Wei Wuxiu handle this drudgery."
When Yan Xiao heard the first words from the guardian deity, her heart skipped a beat, and she didn't listen to what the guardian deity said afterward.
After the guardian finally tired of talking and shut up, a sly glint flashed in her eyes, and she asked casually:
"By the way, since this world is a world within a book, what will happen to this world after the book reaches its finale?"
Without much thought, the guardian deity replied:
"By then, this world had already broken free from the control of the plot in the book and become an autonomous little world, no longer affected by the plot. Many little worlds were formed in this way."
Yan Xiao's face immediately lit up with a smile upon hearing this:
"I see. So, as long as the ending is roughly the same as in the book, neither I nor Shen Muzhi can do whatever we want from now on, right?"
The guardian spirit, without suspicion, nodded: "That's right."
"Okay, I understand. Please let me go back."
Yan Xiao's sudden easygoing nature made the guardian feel uneasy, and he asked somewhat uncertainly:
"So you're agreeing?"
"Okay, I agree!"
Yan Xiao agreed very readily. The guardian observed her reaction and, although he had a vague feeling that something was wrong, he still let her go.
When Yan Xiao was in the void, time outside was frozen, so when Yan Xiao opened her eyes again, she saw Shen Muzhi staring at her, as if waiting for her reply.
Remembering what she had just said to the guardian spirit, she immediately looked at Shen Muzhi and said:
"It's normal for people to have ambitions, but it's too early to talk about these things now. Let's deal with the immediate issues first."
Seeing that she showed no signs of rejection and didn't blame him for abandoning them, Shen Muzhi immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded.
"I was just about to tell you. What I'm about to do is quite dangerous, and it's not appropriate for you to stay by my side. Now that Jiang Xinrui is dead, you should go back to Jiangbei City."
There is now a general's wife in Jiangbei City, but just in case, you should not return to the general's mansion after you return to Jiangbei City, nor should you reveal your identity.
I've already spoken to Mu Yunniang, so you can stay with her for a while as her partner.
I will send people to protect you secretly. Besides, the people around Mu Yunniang are not ordinary people. As long as you don't expose yourself, your safety will not be a problem.
Shen Muzhi had clearly planned this all along, and Yan Xiao had risked coming out of his way to kill Jiang Xinrui.
Now that things are settled, she really doesn't need to stay here any longer; it's dangerous, and it also affects her ability to make money.
As for Shen Muzhi's safety, to be honest, she had already figured it out. This person was a bit love-struck, and she felt that her staying here might slow down his speed of drawing his sword, so she should leave.
Yan Xiao thought this through and nodded in agreement, but the other person was unhappy, looking extremely resentful, and speaking in a very sour tone:
"Yan Yan, now that you're leaving, we'll be apart for a long time again. Don't you feel any reluctance at all? How can you bear to part with your husband like this?"
"Forehead......"
Yan Xiao was speechless. She took back what she had just said. This person wasn't just a little bit love-struck, this person was a love-struck genius.
Just as Yan Xiao was rendered speechless by Shen Muzhi's antics, someone came in to report:
"General, the men have arrived."
Upon hearing this, Shen Muzhi's expression immediately turned serious.
He responded to the outside, then glanced at Yan Xiao, his eyes darting away for a moment before he said, feigning composure:
"Lou Guyu is here. The scouts report that he's been slightly injured. Do you want to go and see him?"
