Su Xiaoxiao smiled and agreed happily.

"Miss Su, this way please."

Jiang Zhige nodded and smiled, extending his hand as a gesture of invitation.

Seeing the two of them chatting happily and walking towards the tavern side by side, the freckled girl was stunned.

Su Xiaoxiao, who I thought was 'not interested in men', was actually seduced so easily?

If it weren't for Jiang Zhige's innocent eyes and simple face, the freckled girl would have felt that Su Xiaoxiao had become so innocent that she might even be treated as a plaything.

"No, no, I overstepped my bounds. With Xiaoxiao's intelligence, how could I linger over a country bumpkin?"

The freckled girl shook her head and didn't dare to think too much, thinking that Su Xiaoxiao had other plans.

Inside the hall, Su Qingqiu saw the girl in a cloth skirt named Su Xiaoxiao appear. His face turned pale instantly and he stood there in a daze.

Qu Yun's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. He subconsciously wanted to ask something, but his face changed several times. He just clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, remaining silent.

From Su Qingqiu's expression, she could guess most of what was going on without asking, and given her current state of mind, Qu Yun's questions would only result in indifference.

"No, it's impossible. Sister Qingqiu is such a person. Even if she is really the Su Xiaoxiao in my memory, since she couldn't recognize Jiang Zhige's identity, how could she have a romantic attraction to an ordinary person?"

Qu Yun's face was extremely gloomy. In fact, he knew very well that Su Xiaoxiao meant nothing.

But why is he so uneasy and unhappy?

Could it be because of Mo Ziyan and Nangong Rou that he was too suspicious? "Something is wrong. Although the Holy Lord has only been emperor for a short thousand years, he is still a Demon Emperor. He is definitely not someone who acts so frivolously."

"That makes sense. The Demon Emperor has deep feelings for Fairy Nangong and Fairy Ziyan. He has hardly been close to other women for thousands of years. Why would he take the initiative to invite Su Xiaoxiao?"

Everyone in the hall was quite puzzled. Jiang Zhige was a demon emperor, and even if he wanted to find out Su Xiaoxiao's identity and cultivation level, he shouldn't have lowered his dignity and taken the initiative to invite her.

Not long after, Jiang Zhige and Su Xiaoxiao walked out of the tavern side by side, still chatting happily. Their words were full of ambiguity, which always made Su Xiaoxiao shy.

For some reason, the two of them had just met for the first time and their conversation was mostly fabricated, but they were able to speak to each other's heart every time, just like close friends who had known each other for a long time.

The freckled girl at the back was already dumbfounded. She wanted to interrupt several times, but she did not dare to disturb Su Xiaoxiao's smile.

To be honest, although she knew it might be an act, she really hadn't seen Su Xiaoxiao smile for a long time.

Time passed little by little, until dusk came, and Jiang Zhige came to his senses.

"Is it dusk already?"

Jiang Zhige looked dazed. He had been in seclusion for more than a hundred years, and each day was as fleeting as a breath. However, this was the first time he felt that time was so short.

Su Xiaoxiao looked up at the sky and said with emotion, "Life is like a fleeting moment. Even if you are a Taoist couple who are seeking the truth hand in hand, you can't resist the five decays of the celestial beings."

Jiang Zhige was silent for a moment after hearing this, then shook his head and said with a smile: "That's true, Miss Su, after this farewell, I don't know when we will meet again."

Five signs of decay in celestial beings? To become an emperor is to live as long as the heavens, to be equal to the heavens. Even if the heavens fall, the emperor will still be there.

"The word fate is always hard to explain."

Su Qingqiu also smiled and bowed.

She aspired to be the Supreme Emperor, wasn't it for immortality, to seek a great freedom for herself? The two did not seem to linger too much, nor did they say a single sentimental word, they bowed and turned away.

The freckled girl who had been observing from the side was stunned again. The two of them had been chatting happily all day and had spent so much time together that they had forgotten the passage of time. How come they didn't have any attachment to each other now?

You know, most mortals communicate with each other through letters. If they don't tell each other their addresses, how difficult is it to meet again just by chance? "Sure enough, Xiaoxiao just chatted with this country boy on a whim to relax."

The freckled girl breathed a sigh of relief. Su Xiaoxiao had gone out with an ordinary heart, so it was normal for her to have interactions with a country boy.

At this moment, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped and said, "Xiaofeng, I heard that there will be a painted boat parade in Luoqi City in three days. Are you interested in going with us?"

Jiang Zhige stopped, not feeling surprised, but just a little confused.

"Miss Su, Xiaofeng's family has always been poor, and he has trouble getting food on a daily basis. I'm afraid..."

"It's okay. This pleasure boat parade is not just for the rich and powerful. Commoners are also eligible to join. I have some money, so it's not a problem for me to take Xiaofeng aboard to enjoy the scenery."

Su Xiaoxiao was dressed simply, but her words were full of boldness.

Jiang Zhige hesitated for a moment and replied, "If that's the case, then I will respectfully obey your order and will definitely keep the appointment in three days."

Hearing this, the freckled girl was immediately furious. It was okay for her to be ugly, but she actually wanted to be a gigolo? However, noticing Su Xiaoxiao's joy beside her, the freckled girl suppressed her anger several times and resisted the urge to scold Jiang Zhige.

After the three of them parted, Jiang Zhige's face returned to normal and his figure appeared in the sky.

Looking at Su Xiaoxiao and the other girl who also turned into wisps of smoke and disappeared below, he sighed inwardly, feeling quite emotional.

After spending a whole day together, Jiang Zhige naturally found out that Su Xiaoxiao was actually Su Qingqiu, the Han Ge Emperor of the Spirit Realm. The reason why he talked with her until dusk was that he was so immersed in it that he forgot about time.

The inexplicable sense of déjà vu made him feel like he was stuck in the mud and couldn't extricate himself. Even though he knew the other person's identity, he still couldn't help wanting to get along with him.

The reason why Jiang Zhige could part with Su Qingqiu today without any regrets was because he had the power of an emperor and could find out Su Qingqiu's location at any time. All they needed for a reunion was an opportunity.

Jiang Zhige did not force an opportunity. He just wanted to stay in the dark and watch Su Qingqiu take things as they come. However, he did not expect that Su Qingqiu, as an emperor and a woman, would be willing to take the initiative to create this opportunity.

On the other side, Su Qingqiu and the freckled girl also stood in the air, watching the young man below who was walking towards Tupo Village, three miles west of the city.

The freckled girl had absolutely no intention of looking at the boy, she lowered her head in shock and confusion.

I thought Su Qingqiu was just in a spur of the moment mood, but I never expected that she would actually take the initiative to invite Jiang Zhige.

After trying to suppress her emotions, the freckled girl couldn't help but ask, "My Lord, please forgive me for my treasonous behavior. I am just a mortal boy. It is a blessing for me to meet you by chance. Why do I have to have anything to do with him?"

The Emperor Han Ge in her mind is the great emperor of a world and the leader of the fairies. He is a holy and cold being who is able to overwhelm thousands of beauties in the spiritual realm and is not tainted by the slightest bit of dust.
