In front of the Xianhua Palace, Shen Zhao prepared to bid farewell to Mu Qiuyao and embark on his journey to the Southern Region.
"Are you really leaving? Why not consider serving my Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty? I can bestow upon you the title of One-Word King, to jointly govern the Northern Region. How about that?"
"Alright, do you think I can't see through your scheme? You just want to use me to help your Immortal Dynasty get closer to the top, right? No need to be so polite."
"Yes, that is indeed what I think, but sharing control of the Northern Region is not a joke. As long as you stay, I will share this country with you."
"Thank you very much. If I can't make it in the future, I might consider coming to you for help."
Mu Qiuyao and Shen Zhao stood side by side, looking down at the vast palace exterior.
After a long silence, Mu Qiuyao asked again, "Have you made things clear to Yu Xiyan?"
Shen Zhao countered, "How did you know that Yu Xiyan was also reborn?"
"If I couldn't even see this, I would have wasted over two thousand years of experience in dealing with people."
"Indeed, how could the Empress Xuantian, the ruler of the Northern Region, not see through such a simple trick?"
"It's good to have things out in the open; at least she'll understand what a perfect partner she's lost."
From now on, Yu Xiyan will never find a man who treats her better than you.
Shen Zhao shrugged indifferently: "It's none of my business anymore."
Mu Qiuyao glanced at Shen Zhao and sighed softly, "Boy, I've always wanted to thank you. If it weren't for you..."
Even if I were to live again, I might still repeat the mistakes of my past life. It is you who made me realize that as the ruler of a country, I still have many shortcomings.
Shen Zhao: "Having gone through all this, I think you, as the Empress of the Northern Region, know very well what to do next, so there's no need for me to presume to teach you."
With the Empress's abilities, it's only a matter of time before the chaos in the Northern Region is quelled.
Mu Qiuyao: "If you need anything in the future, just ask, and I will never refuse."
"Of course, we hope that the Empress of the Immortal Dynasty will not back down at that time."
"Even if it means going through fire and water, I will grant your request!"
"Yes! It's a pleasure doing business with you!"
"It's a pleasure doing business with you!"
The two exchanged a smile, their understanding unspoken.
"It's time to go!"
"So urgent?"
"I also have my own things to take care of."
"Yes, I heard. It's about Su Yunying, isn't it?"
"Did Ding Bu'er and the others tell you?"
"I have heard a little about Su Yunying's matter. In my previous life, this child had good aptitude, it's just a pity."
But how fortunate I am to have you by my side in this life!
With a renowned military genius escorting her all the way, her future is sure to be smooth sailing.
"That's too kind of you."
Upon arriving at the square, Liang Hao was already waiting for them.
Mu Qiuyao bid farewell to Shen Zhao one last time: "Kid, remember to visit the Northern Region more often when you have time."
This is also your refuge. Whenever you tire, come to the palace to find me. Everything in the Northern Region is open to you.
"Take care of yourself!"
Shen Zhao nodded, then turned around and flicked his sleeve.
Suddenly, his body shone with golden light, which quickly coalesced into points of light in mid-air.
"Heh~~"
The golden-winged roc let out a long cry, spread its wings, and stunned Liang Hao.
Shen Zhao took a step and leaped, landing steadily on the back of the Golden-Winged Roc.
"Big brother, wait for me!"
Liang Hao quickly stepped onto the back of the golden-winged roc.
"Jie~"
With another long cry, the Golden-Winged Roc slowly soared upwards and instantly disappeared into the clouds.
Mu Qiuyao gazed silently at the sky until the golden-winged roc had completely disappeared from her sight before turning back to the main hall.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Yu Xiyan staring blankly in the direction Shen Zhao had left.
Mu Qiuyao was taken aback, then said, "Empress of the Great Yin Dynasty, are you not planning to leave yet?"
Yu Xiyan remained expressionless, gazing up at the sky and murmuring to herself, "I will definitely make my husband change his mind. In this life, we will be a loving and respectful couple..."
Mu Qiuyao frowned, initially not wanting to pay her any attention.
But then, as if suddenly remembering something, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "It's a pity that you pushed away this man who loves you so deeply."
"No, I didn't!" Yu Xiyan frowned coldly. "You don't understand how much Shen Zhao loves me. How could he possibly abandon me?"
Once he calms down, he'll definitely be willing to come back to me, and then I'll do everything I can to make it up to him.
"But you betrayed Shen Zhao's feelings for you, didn't you?"
Mu Qiuyao smiled disdainfully.
"Yu Xiyan, give up. Shen Zhao will never come back, because his feelings for you were completely worn away by you in our past life."
No man would accept betrayal from a woman he would protect with his life. His decision not to exact a violent revenge is a way of preserving face for both of you.
Yu Xiyan trembled all over, shaking her head repeatedly: "No, it can't be, Shen Zhao will definitely come back, he definitely will!"
"As long as he can forgive me, we can definitely be together again in this life. We will have our own children, and our life will be incredibly happy."
Mu Qiuyao shook her head: "What are you still lying to yourself about now? It seems you really don't understand this kid."
"You know how much we've been through together, the twenty years of marriage, and how many storms we've weathered?"
"Husband and wife? What kind of husband and wife are you? Do you even know what it means to be husband and wife? Have you fulfilled your duties as a wife?"
I'll only ask you one very simple question: what is Shen Zhao's favorite food? Can you tell me?
"I……"
Yu Xiyan was completely at a loss when asked this question.
In her previous life, she knew all the things Lin Feng liked like the back of her hand, but she couldn't even bear to look at Shen Zhao, so how could she possibly know about his life and preferences?
