"Oh my, Your Majesty! It's been so long! Why haven't you come for so long? We've all missed you terribly! And who is this esteemed guest? Please come in!"
Green Snake Ah Qing led Qingcheng and Hongyan Divine Lord into the inner courtyard, then called out to the people inside in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Sisters~ Come out quickly, our King has arrived~"
Hongyan Divine Lord followed Qingcheng all the way. When he saw that Qingcheng had come to a place like 'Xunhuan Pavilion', his face darkened considerably. However, he held back his temper and continued to follow Qingcheng inside.
Qingcheng had long noticed Hongyan Shenjun's displeasure, but he pretended not to see it and continued to chat and laugh with Aqing: "Haha~ It's been a long time since I've been back here, Aqing. Have any new people come here recently? If so, call them out for me to see~"
"Yes, yes, there are indeed some new people who have recently arrived in the courtyard. Your Majesty, please wait a moment, I will go and fetch them for you right away."
Aqing noticed that the person who came in with Qingcheng looked like an important figure, but he kept a dark expression and remained silent. So she assumed that she hadn't been attentive enough and quickly went out to call someone in to entertain them.
Lord Hongyan had been holding back his temper, but now that Aqing was finally gone, he could no longer restrain himself. He took a few steps forward and grabbed Qingcheng by the waist, then said in a very unpleasant tone, "What do you mean? Why did you bring me to a place like this?!"
Caught off guard by Hongyan Shenjun's sneak attack, Qingcheng tried desperately to pry his hand off, but to no avail. Finally, he could only say, "Shenjun, you, you let me go first!"
Lord Hongyan was furious. He said, "Speak quickly, or I won't let go."
"Well, actually I used to come to Xunhuan Pavilion often, so it's normal for me to come here now."
"Before? You used to come here often?"
Upon hearing Qingcheng's words, Lord Hongyan became even angrier. He glared at her and said, "What are you, a demon king, doing in a place like this? How can you just come here to play around?!"
Stared at like that, Qingcheng felt a little guilty for some reason, but he still stubbornly stammered, "I... I just like coming here, is that not allowed? I... I'm the Demon King, why can't I come? Not only am I coming, I'm going to stay here and never go back!"
"You're staying here and not going back?! You dare to stay here?!"
Lord Hongyan was furious with Qingcheng. In his eyes, most people who came to this kind of place were not decent people. His little Qingcheng was a wonderful person in his heart. How could she come to a place like this?!
Enraged, Lord Hongyan suddenly scooped Qingcheng up in his arms and prepared to leave. He said fiercely, "Go! I won't allow you to come to a place like this again. We're going back to the God Realm to get married right now!"
Upon hearing his words, Qingcheng panicked. Oh no! He only wanted to provoke Hongyan Divine Lord, but he never expected to mess things up.
Upon hearing the word 'marriage,' Qingcheng struggled violently: 'No, I don't want to go to the God Realm! I was wrong, God Lord, I was wrong! Actually, I'm the owner here, which is why I come here so often!'
Hongyan Divine Lord was initially very angry, but after hearing Qingcheng say that she was the owner here, he was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief, "Owner? You're the owner here? Really?"
"Really? Of course it's true! Otherwise, why would I come here every day?"
While Hongyan Shenjun was stunned, Qingcheng quickly jumped off him. He hid in a corner of the room and looked at Hongyan Shenjun warily, saying, "Hehe~ I just wanted to joke with you, why are you so angry?"
"Hmph~ You're my fiancée, of course I'm angry knowing you frequent places like this."
After learning that Qingcheng was the owner of this place, Lord Hongyan, although not as sullen as before, still said with some displeasure, "Qingcheng, why do you run a brothel? And even if you do, why do you stay here so often?"
Qingcheng, still wary, said, "Um, actually, I opened this place many years ago, and business has been very good, so I've kept it. Actually, I'm not the only owner here; Qiyou also has shares."
"Alright, but I still won't allow you to come here often. Let's go back. If you don't listen to me, then I'll take you back to the God Realm right now to get married!"
Upon hearing that Qi You also had shares, Lord Hong Yan was still very angry, but his expression had improved considerably. However, he still made a request to Qing Cheng.
