Damn abstinence period.
Bian Lang cursed Corpse Brother in his heart.
But after so long, he still hasn't ended his abstinence period, which can only be blamed on his own excessive behavior.
"You're not still abstaining from pornography, are you?" Shangguan Hongyu suddenly remembered everything.
Bian Lang nodded, feeling rather embarrassed.
"How much longer?" Shangguan Hongyu asked with a smile.
Bian Lang said, "Less than a hundred years."
Hearing this, Shangguan Hongyu laughed even more happily.
Bian Lang said speechlessly, "I'm in a period of abstinence from pornography, and you're this happy?"
"This means that you haven't been with any other women since I left." Shangguan Hongyu felt both happy and heartbroken.
For tens of thousands of years, Bian Lang was all alone; how lonely he must have been.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "I don't look down on other women either, otherwise I would have been with countless women in these 80,000 years."
Shangguan Hongyu covered her mouth and chuckled, knowing that Bian Lang was telling the truth.
Thinking of this, she reached out to help Bian Lang undress. Even if they couldn't do things like husband and wife, at least they could sleep together in each other's arms.
For tens of thousands of years, she was plagued by nightmares every night and never had a good night's sleep.
Outside, by the Red Bean Lake, Liu Yi sat on a stone bench, gazing at the lake surface, which was bathed in moonlight and looked as silver as silver, her brows furrowed with sorrow.
"What are you thinking about?" Dugu Qiusheng came over from the side and sat down next to Liu Yi.
Liu Yi said, "I'm just happy for Bian Lang."
"What do you think they're doing right now?" Dugu Qiusheng asked with a rather lewd smile.
Liu Yi turned her head and glared at him, saying, "Why don't you go see for yourself?"
"I reckon before I even get close, Brother Bian will send me back to Iron Enclosure City with a single palm strike." Dugu Qiusheng had that much self-awareness.
Liu Yi continued to stare at the lake, feeling as if the mirror-like surface of the lake could reflect her heart.
Dugu Qiusheng stared blankly, as if trying to see through what Liu Yi was looking at.
A gentle night breeze stirred the water, creating soft ripples.
"Liu Yi, I think you like Brother Bian." Dugu Qiusheng wasn't stupid; Liu Yi's sadness at this moment was enough to say a lot.
Liu Yi said angrily, "You're annoying, can't you leave?"
"See, I was right!" Dugu Qiusheng was smiling, but he was actually quite upset inside.
If he had met Liu Yi first, he believed that the person in Liu Yi's heart now would definitely be him, not Bian Lang.
But fate did not arrange it that way, so he would have to work even harder to squeeze Bian Lang out of Liu Yi's heart.
Bian Lang and Shangguan Hongyu reunited, and Liu Yi was genuinely happy, but a strange sense of loss welled up inside her.
That night, Shangguan Hongyu slept very soundly and didn't dream at all.
When I opened my eyes the next day, I felt better than ever.
Bian Lang had been awake for a while, but seeing that Shangguan Hongyu was sleeping soundly in his arms, he didn't move.
Over the years, he had worked very hard to find Shangguan Hongyu, who was also not having an easy time governing such a vast empire.
After the two finished washing up, they had just stepped out of the room when they saw Shen Sanmu walking hurriedly towards them.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened..." Shen Sanmu said anxiously.
Shangguan Hongyu learned that a wolf clan spy had infiltrated the empire and rescued the wolf king.
Shangguan Hongyu felt this was a minor matter; once rescued, so be it. A wolf clan couldn't cause much trouble.
The empire is connected to the demon realm, and demons frequently invade the human race.
However, the kind of atrocities committed by the wolf pack, such as large-scale invasions and the massacre of thousands of innocent humans, are rare.
When Shangguan Hongyu learned of this, he was furious and personally led an expedition into the territory of the wolf clan in the demon realm, capturing the evil wolf king alive and imprisoning him in the capital.
The reason the wolf king wasn't killed was to serve as a warning to all demons: never, ever overstep your bounds.
“Your Majesty, the Wolf King will surely contact the other demon clans upon his return and launch an attack…” Shen Sanmu felt that this matter was of great importance and that preparations must be made as soon as possible.
Shangguan Hongyu laughed and said, "Then we'll talk about it when the Wolf King really comes."
"This..." Shen Sanmu was completely stunned.
The empress who has found her man has become unlike an empress, which is definitely not a good thing for the empire.
Shangguan Hongyu then told Shen Sanmu to go back first, without leaving her a single soldier.
She had just reunited with Bian Lang and didn't want to be separated so soon.
Shen Sanmu really wanted to say that he could take Bian Lang back to the capital with him, but he didn't have the courage to say it.
"Wife, you are still the Empress." Bian Lang reminded her with a smile after Shen Sanmu left.
Those in positions of power must fulfill their responsibilities.
Shangguan Hongyu asked, "Then will you come back to the capital with me?"
"Definitely," Bian Lang said with a smile.
With these words in mind, Shangguan Hongyu felt relieved.
Liu Yi and the others were not surprised to learn that Bian Lang was going to the capital.
A country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Shangguan Hongyu cannot stay here forever, and Bian Lang has been searching for her for 80,000 years. He certainly does not want to part ways so soon after their reunion.
Besides, Bian Lang is an idle person, so it doesn't matter where he stays.
Before leaving, Bian Lang asked Liu Yi and others for help in mining spirit ore.
The multi-headed race of the Misty Forest are all incredibly energetic. With them around, no matter how abundant the spirit ore reserves are, they can mine them all in a very short time.
A seemingly inevitable battle ended in this way.
"Will the boss come back?" Hei Wushui asked from the water.
Sun Wukong angrily retorted, "Shut your crow's mouth!"
"He will come back for the spirit stones." Dugu Qiusheng's words silenced Sun Wuse and the others, who instead glared fiercely at Dugu Qiusheng.
Dugu Qiusheng chuckled and quickly covered his mouth with both hands.
