Shen Zhao conjured a cloak, which immediately wrapped Mu Qiuyao's delicate body completely.
Mu Qiuyao laughed and said, "Boy, you're treating me like your woman now, aren't you?"
Since you just kissed me, you can't let me down, or I'll be very sad.
Shen Zhao patted her back and replied directly, "Yes, from now on, your body and soul belong to me alone. No one else can touch you except me."
"You're really domineering, but I like it."
Mu Qiuyao couldn't help but kiss Shen Zhao's cheek again before reluctantly breaking free from his embrace.
"Take care of your business first. I'll sort things out and wait for you."
Her smile was sweeter than ever before, her face radiating an indescribable happiness.
Watching Mu Qiuyao's departing figure, and recalling her stunning beauty just now, Shen Zhao was momentarily distracted, and a strong desire to conquer her gradually rose from the depths of his heart.
"Brother, can you please say something? If you die, please tell me who did it. When I live to be a hundred years old, I will definitely dig up their ancestral graves to avenge you."
Liang Hao's voice continued to echo outside the courtyard.
After calming down, Shen Zhao replied impatiently, "I just woke up, stop yelling. You're such a good brother, thank you."
Liang Hao grinned broadly: "Hehe, if Big Brother gets killed, then the opponent is not someone that his current underlings can handle. So we'll just play it safe and wait for the right opportunity to strike."
"Sixth Brother, knowing you is the worst luck I've ever had."
After saying that, he got up, opened the door, and walked out into the courtyard.
Upon seeing Liang Hao, the sixth brother immediately said, "Brother, I've come to report to you."
After a day and night of cleanup yesterday, it can be basically confirmed that all Nine Nether forces in Chang'an City have been completely eradicated.
Linghu Ming and Fahai, the two sixth brothers, are currently tallying their spoils and haven't come along yet.
Shen Zhao: "Is there any movement from the capital?"
Liang Hao shook his head: "There's been no movement at all. The palace is currently busy preparing for the wedding and seems uninterested in anything happening in the city."
"That's strange. With such a big commotion these past few days, the entire court hasn't reacted at all. It's really too abnormal."
"Brother, isn't this great?" Liang Hao said. "The fact that the various government offices in Chang'an didn't intervene has actually allowed our plan to eliminate the Nine Nether Branch to proceed smoothly."
Now that things are almost settled in Chang'an, what are your next plans, elder brother?
Shen Zhao: "Since Jiuyou's power in Chang'an has collapsed, there's no need for us to stay any longer. Let's pack up and head back to the Southern Region in a couple of days."
"Oh, right, I also need to go to the Jade Pool Sacred Land. It might be a different route from yours, so please go back and let Yunying know I'm alright and that she shouldn't worry."
Liang Hao nodded: "I would do this even without you telling me, brother. But why do you want to go to the Jade Pool Holy Land?"
"Are you going to pick peaches? If so, be sure to bring me back a few to try."
"I'm just doing a small favor for someone. I'll be back soon. Forget about the peaches. I'll get you a Xuanling Fruit later."
"Thank you very much, brother. I'll go back and tell Linghu Ming and the others. I'll be setting off now. See you in the Southern Region."
After saying this, Liang Hao took his leave.
Shen Zhao lowered his head and pondered for a moment before returning to the room.
At this moment, Mu Qiuyao had already dressed, still wearing that Taoist robe.
Now, she sits quietly on the armchair that Shen Zhao once sat in, her legs crossed and swinging, revealing a jade-like leg clad in white silk.
Upon seeing this, Shen Zhao felt a slight sense of disappointment.
Although he also liked white stockings, after witnessing Mu Qiuyao's nakedness with only an "apron" on, the attraction wasn't as strong anymore.
"Kid, you seem quite disappointed."
Seemingly seeing through Shen Zhao's thoughts, Mu Qiuyao smiled knowingly.
"Should I change back into my old clothes?"
"Cough cough..."
Teasing Mu Qiuyao like this, Shen Zhao coughed awkwardly a few times.
It wasn't just disappointment, it was profound disappointment.
However, now that he has calmed down, the desire within him has been extinguished.
"Qiu Yao, I'm about to leave Chang'an. What are your plans?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Qiuyao looked puzzled: "You left so quickly?"
"Yes, Chang'an has been in a state of chaos these past few days. Fortunately, the damage and destruction caused by Jiuyou have been brought under control, which is some consolation."
Now that things are settled, it's time to leave. Let the Great Yin court handle the rest.
Mu Qiuyao: "There's no need to rush off like this. Why don't you attend Yu Xiyan's wedding first?"
"Why the hell would I attend her wedding?" Shen Zhao was speechless. "Am I really going to have to pay for a wedding gift out of my own pocket? Ling Yuxuan is such a hopeless simp."
Back when he was in the Demon Realm, I'd warned him more than once to stay away from Yu Xiyan, and now he's still jumping into the fire. All I can say is, I wish him the best of luck for the rest of his life.
"Hahaha."
Mu Qiuyao smiled brightly.
"Fine, I don't like that slut anyway, it's better to leave sooner rather than later, but..."
She stood up and said.
"There's one more thing I need to do before I leave."
"What's up?"
"Of course, we'll treat all the people of Chang'an to a feast."
What kind of feast are we having?
"We've already gone through the wedding ceremony; you're my husband, and I'm your wife. Of course, such a joyous occasion should be known throughout Chang'an."
"You keep making people observe mourning one minute and then have them attend banquets the next. Can't you be a little more mature?"
"I'm already tired of pretending to be an emperor for over 1,700 years. Can't I be myself now? Consider this a way to calm the people of Chang'an down after my actions a few days ago."
