"Don't worry, you've overcome so many difficulties, you'll surely overcome this one too."
Luo Hanyi gently stroked Zhou Xingdou's cheek, a tender smile on her face.
Zhou Xingdou, who had been sitting expressionlessly on the throne, suddenly smiled slightly and took Luo Hanyi's slender hand, saying:
"Who told you I was worried? I'm just a little tired lately."
Ning Yue looked at Zhou Xingdou and Luo Hanyi, and even cracked a joke, which was quite rare for her:
"If you're tired, let Hanyi help you. She hasn't been able to eat or drink while you've been gone for the past two days."
Ning Yueze's words made Luo Hanyi's cheeks turn red instantly.
But unexpectedly, Zhou Xingdou turned to Ning Yueze and said, "I am a member of the Heavenly Gang."
"I can't keep up with the cold clothes on my own, Aunt Ning, can you help me?"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Xingdou felt a sharp pain in his ear. Luo Hanyi's jade-like hand had somehow already grabbed Zhou Xingdou's ear and twisted it almost 180 degrees.
Zhou Xingdou's bold statement startled Ning Yueze, causing her to cough twice uncomfortably, pretending not to hear, and say:
"Ahem, you two are being affectionate, so Aunt Ning won't disturb you any longer..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Yue turned around and ran out of Zhou Tian Palace at an almost fleeing speed.
Wu Fatian and Wei Fuzi, who were still exchanging ideas outside the Zhou Tian Hall not long after the meeting ended, also saw Ning Yueze fleeing in disarray and asked with some confusion:
Why is she running so fast? Could something have happened at the Enforcement Hall?
"It shouldn't be, but just now I saw her face was as red as fire. Could it be that she was angered by the young master?"
Meanwhile, inside the Zhou Tian Palace, Luo Hanyi stood with her hands on her hips, glaring angrily at Zhou Xingdou:
"I knew you lecherous bastard had no good intentions towards Aunt Ning. Now you're not even hiding it from me, are you!"
Zhou Xingdou rubbed his ears, which had been pinched red by Luo Hanyi, and then quickly pulled Luo Hanyi into his arms to explain:
"I was just joking because the atmosphere was awkward."
Luo Hanyi still didn't believe Zhou Xingdou's words, and snorted coldly:
"Hmph! I was here first, but my master became the matriarch. Now you want to seduce Aunt Ning and make me go to the back of the line!"
Zhou Xingdou grasped Luo Hanyi's jade-like leg, then pressed his face against Luo Hanyi's chest, saying in a spoiled manner like a child:
"No, no, Aunt Ning is definitely after you in line!"
Before he could finish speaking and before Luo Hanyi could react, Zhou Xingdou silenced her with a kiss.
"Ugh! You still say you don't have feelings for Aunt Ning!"
...
After some comforting, Luo Hanyi nestled in Zhou Xingdou's arms with a wronged look on her face, but she wasn't really wronged; she was just still feeling resentful.
"It's not that I disagree, but you could at least give me a heads-up. Actually, I'm also reluctant to see Aunt Ning leave. Rather than letting Aunt Ning get married out, it's better to keep the good stuff in the family and make us all family..."
Luo Hanyi held Zhou Xingdou's hand, her glistening eyelashes lowered, and her willow eyebrows slightly furrowed as she spoke.
In her heart, she cannot live without Zhou Xingdou, nor can she live without Ning Yueze.
Zhou Xingdou is her lover, while Ning Yue is a relative without blood ties. For Luo Hanyi, both of them, as well as her master Tian Jiu'er, are very important and irreplaceable in her life.
In fact, Ning Yue had many suitors in the Primordial Dao Domain, but they were all secretly beaten down by the Star Heaven Alliance, or even by Fa Hai, Yuan Tian and others, until they gave up.
Ning Yue probably doesn't know that the reason these suitors are "insincere" is because they'll be beaten to death if they continue pursuing them.
What she never expected was that the mastermind behind all of this was Luo Hanyi, who had always clung to her like a junior.
Luo Hanyi admitted that she was selfish in this respect, but she could not accept a strange man taking her Aunt Ning away from her.
But I can't let Ning Yueze grow old alone. Thinking about it carefully, it's actually more acceptable to have Ning Yueze become my sister.
Zhou Xingdou's eyebrows twitched wildly, and he quickly pulled his hand out of Luo Hanyi's grasp and placed it on her forehead.
Is this still his stingy senior sister?
Is he delirious from a fever?
Snap!
Luo Hanyi slapped away Zhou Xingdou's hand that was taking her temperature, and said irritably.
"I'm not sick! I'm telling the truth! If you're not willing, then I'll hurry up and have Aunt Ning find a suitor to marry, so as not to waste time!"
"No, no, no, let's talk about this later. Let me give you a couple of kisses first."
Zhou Xingdou naturally couldn't excitedly agree on the spot, even though he was indeed very excited. Otherwise, his senior sister-in-law would probably be jealous even if she didn't say it...
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and it is already past midnight.
The pale moonlight shone on a courtyard of the Starry Sky Alliance.
The courtyard was small; compared to the surrounding divine pavilions and jade palaces, it stood out like a crane among chickens.
Because this is a farmhouse courtyard, extremely simple and plain, even less than the courtyards of ordinary wealthy people.
But no one could have imagined that a quasi-emperor lived among them.
There was no floor in the courtyard, only compacted mud and lush weeds, and in the quiet of the night, the sound of chopping wood could be heard constantly in the courtyard.
Click!
rock!
Ning Yue was dressed in coarse linen clothes and sat on a simple wooden stool, but even so, her voluptuous figure could not be concealed. Sitting on the low stool only accentuated her curves.
Holding a small axe in her hand, she repeatedly stood logs up, then chopped them in eight pieces with a single blow, throwing them into the already mountain-like stack of firewood.
Although she was chopping wood, Ning Yue was somewhat absent-minded.
If it were her old temper, she would have dared to draw her sword and teach that brat a lesson if Zhou Xingdou had teased her like that.
Bang!
Ning Yue swung the axe forcefully, but it seemed she used too much force, and she shattered the log into pieces.
However, Ning Yue didn't seem to care; she was still preoccupied with Zhou Xingdou's words and said angrily:
"You brat, how could you say that!"
Creak~
Just then, a creaking sound rang out, and Ning Yue instantly snapped back to reality, her sharp gaze shooting towards the wooden door as she coldly shouted:
"who!"
Crunch~ Crunch~
The wooden door slowly opened a crack, and a head peeked out:
"Aunt Ning, don't panic, it's me!"
Zhou Xingdou tiptoed through the gap and slipped into the courtyard.
Upon seeing that the visitor was Zhou Xingdou, Ning Yue tensed up, but forced herself to remain calm and indifferent, saying:
What are you doing here in the middle of the night?!
Creak~
Zhou Xingdou gently closed the door, then looked at Ning Yueze and said:
"Huh? It's not even the third watch yet, it's the second watch now."
Then Zhou Xingdou asked, somewhat puzzled:
"Besides, didn't you, Aunt Ning, send me?"
Ning Yue rose from the low stool, her plump figure rising, her bright eyes glaring angrily, her eyebrows raised in anger:
"When did I ask you to come here?!"
"Aunt Ning, didn't you cough twice when you left? Weren't you hinting that I should come to see you around midnight?"
As he spoke, Zhou Xingdou walked towards Ning Yueze, but Ning Yueze quickly took two steps back, angrily saying:
"You brat, what kind of hint is that?!"
If you come any closer, I'll tell Hanyi!
