Although sunflowers are quite resilient, being both drought-tolerant and heat-resistant, they can thrive wherever they are placed.
But the devil still wanted to carefully plant it in his private garden, giving it plenty of light so that it could bloom with even more beautiful flowers.
Unaware of the truth, he nearly uprooted the "sunflower" and transplanted it to the Northern Abyss Kingdom.
Fortunately, when he saw that the situation was not good, he secretly "returned" it back. Otherwise, would the devil have let it go?
Wouldn't Mu Zaiqi have harmed Fenggu Shacheng?
Although everyone says that Ye is the worst of the seven kingdoms in terms of territory, troops, and military strength, and that its advanced weapons and tactics are nothing to boast about.
But this time, Yuwen Sheng truly unleashed his power.
They all misjudged the situation. Ye Kingdom may have been biding its time all along. This battle was enough to show the Seven Kingdoms its true strength, which was astonishing.
It is said that Yuwen Sheng and Zheng Quchi talked as if no one else was around, which naturally attracted eavesdroppers. When the two spoke loudly, their voices were heard all around, but when they spoke privately, they covered their voices.
Therefore, Zheng Quchi's request was vague and no one heard it, but Yuwen Sheng's loud and clear announcement made them aware of what was happening.
Why is Yuwen Sheng here? And why is he so intimate with a woman wearing a tattered black cloak?
Someone murmured as if in a dream, "So, the one who escaped the fire with us just now was... the general's wife that the living Yama has been searching for all along?"
A man with tattered clothes and singed hair said excitedly, "She...she saved me earlier. She used her cloak to put out the fire for me! She's a good person."
Recalling Yuwen Sheng's words, more and more people understood what her appearance meant, and what it meant for them.
"She...she came to stop the Ye army from massacring and burning the city..."
They all stared blankly at Zheng Quchi, as if they couldn't understand. At this moment, Yuwen Sheng took off her hat, revealing a very kind little round face and a pair of lively eyes that were clear and bright without any gloom. She was a child with an endearing appearance.
But precisely because of this, she and Yuwen Sheng seemed to live in two different worlds, one in the light and the other in the dark, one yang and the other yin. It was truly perplexing that such a combination could become a couple.
"The living Yama of Ye Kingdom actually married a living Bodhisattva?" some people secretly mocked.
At this moment, someone who was listening said uncomfortably, "Just now... she turned around and blocked the surging crowd, trying to help us up when we fell. Otherwise, we would have been trampled to death by the crowd. I don't care whose wife she is, I only remember that she saved me. Now she is the one who persuaded the Ye army to retreat and release the animals. Are you saying this because you think she is being hypocritical, or do you think that you can get the living Yama to make an exception and save you just by using your mouth to curse and mock?"
The man's face immediately turned red; he wanted to retort but didn't know how to say it.
"We won't be burned to death, right? We can survive, can't we?"
A mother was holding her child, looking around to ask those around her for confirmation, and after receiving an affirmative answer, she burst into tears of joy.
The others gradually came to their senses, looking bewildered and at a loss for what to do.
They were unsure whether to continue running out of the city or be allowed to stay and fight the fire to mitigate the damage.
Of course, the decision-making power for all of this did not actually lie with these insignificant people, but with the man in the black armor and silver mask in the room.
Wei Yao and the others rushed over from the city lord's mansion, and when they saw Zheng Quchi on the street, they all looked like they didn't recognize him.
Is this really Sang Xuanqing?! Has this living person changed so much?
This is because she is indeed very different from the "Sang Xuanqing" of the past.
My impression of "Sang Xuanqing" is that he was a dark-skinned and thin boy. Although he wasn't sloppy, he always had a dusty look that he couldn't wash off.
The petite woman before us had her hair styled in two buns at the back of her head, with two thick, long braids hanging down in front of her chest. After her skin turned white, her facial features became even more prominent.
She was born with an adorable face; the proportions of her features on her small, palm-sized face seemed to be perfectly aligned with the golden ratio.
Even though she was wearing a long cloak that hung to the ground, completely obscuring her form, no one would mistake her for a man anymore.
Only now did they finally have a truly real feeling.
"Sang Xuanqing" really is a "madam".
Zheng Quchi was still wondering about what Yuwen Sheng had said in public when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. He turned his head and saw several familiar faces coming over.
She paused for a moment, ignoring Wang Zebang and Fu Rong, and gave Wei Yao a slightly awkward smile.
She wondered if Brother Wei would still recognize her... She felt quite apologetic for having lied to him about so many things over the years.
Wei Yao was completely stunned by her smile and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Upon seeing this scene, Yuwen Sheng's gaze instantly turned cold and somber, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Why smile at Wei Yao?
His voice was clear and pleasant: "What are you waiting for? Haven't you greeted Madam yet?"
This reminder, filled with a chilling warning, sent shivers down the spines of Wei Yao, Fu Rong, and Wang Zebang. Without a word, they bowed deeply to Zheng Quchi.
“Wei Yao (Fu Rong, Wang Zebang) greets Madam.”
Zheng Quchi froze, opened her mouth, but didn't know how to respond, so she tugged at the corner of her sleeve that was hanging down beside her hand.
