"Yue..."
Zhu Li was slightly taken aback, and it took her a long time to realize what Shen Yunhao had said. Her face immediately turned as red as a monkey's bottom. She was both embarrassed and annoyed, and punched him with her little fist. "Pah! That lewd old man likes to talk nonsense outside! Don't listen to his rubbish!"
Shen Yunhao just smiled and didn't say anything.
Whether it's nonsense or not, how could he not know after experiencing it firsthand?
That's why Little White Dragon is so easy to coax; her little temper tantrums usually come and go quickly.
If you really can't coax her, then try to "feed" her until she's full, and naturally she won't have the energy or inclination to be angry...
Of course, all of this is on the premise that... you have to be able to feed her properly!
Zhu Li nestled shyly in his arms for a moment, then secretly glanced at him and muttered softly:
"Tch! You're one to talk... With your current frail appearance, forget about apologizing... If anything goes wrong, those wild demons outside will blame me for everything..."
"..."
The playful bickering and affectionate moments between the long-married couple after their long separation were quickly swept away by the little white dragon's grumbling and complaints.
After showering everyone with their lovey-dovey antics and having their fill of playful banter, Zhu Li nestled in Shen Yunhao's arms and finally remembered the important matter at hand.
"Speaking of which, how long do you plan to stay here? There's a whole bunch of people waiting for you to appease them, and what about your little sword fairy wife... do you still want her?"
Mentioning Ning Yuyao, Shen Yunhao's smile faded slightly, and he sighed helplessly.
“I have too many troubles right now. Not to mention the Blood Sect that is still haunting me, the Tai Xuan Dao Sect also sees me as a thorn in their side. For the time being, I should stay here at the Demon Emperor Palace and recuperate for a while. I will make plans after things have calmed down.”
Zhu Li nodded in his arms, "That's true. After what happened in Wanren City, your reputation... is almost resounding throughout the entire Tianji Continent!"
"Really? Is it true that I remained calm in the face of danger, cleverly exposed the Blood Sect's traitor, and forcefully counterattacked and killed that old thief Qianhe?"
Shen Yunhao had just raised his eyebrows smugly when he was met with a big eye roll from the girl in his arms.
"hehe!"
Zhu Li let out a soft, enigmatic laugh, and poked his chest with her slender finger. "She certainly has a reputation, but... like my father, it's not a good one..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunhao's expression immediately froze...
He lowered his head dejectedly, rubbed his nose against the smooth forehead of the woman in his arms, and pouted, "Fine, fine, in the end, you, the 'Number One Beauty,' still have the bigger title. I'll always just be your little brother..."
Of course, while saying this, Shen Yunhao knew very well that what the outside world cared about most was the enormous entity they represented.
Whether it's the Guanghan Palace behind Ning Yuyao or the Beihai Dragon Palace behind Zhuli, both are super forces with Taixu Realm experts in charge!
Add to that the Dark Abyss Demon Vine, and now, seemingly, the Demon Emperor's Palace with which he has a close relationship... Shen Yunhao's background is incredibly complex...
"You're such a chatterbox!" Zhu Li pressed lightly on his side, her tone carrying a strange emotion. "Besides, what's this 'number one beauty' thing? It's just a ranking made up by those bored people. Have you seen Palace Master Shangguan? Perhaps only someone like her deserves to be called 'number one'?"
As she spoke, a rare glimpse of longing and admiration appeared in her amethyst-like eyes.
"That's not how it works..."
Shen Yunhao immediately shook his head in rebuttal.
Before Zhu Li merged with the Ancestral Dragon's Holy Soul, he had to admit that Shangguan Jingming was indeed one of the very few who could rival Zhu Li in appearance.
But now, after merging with the Ancestral Dragon's Sacred Soul, the little white dragon has transcended beauty in the mortal sense, becoming a more prominent and irreplaceable existence in Shen Yunhao's heart.
"You're putting a 'strong person filter' on her. Senior Shangguan is indeed the most outstanding and dazzling woman on the entire continent, with top-notch cultivation, status, and demeanor, but—"
He changed the subject, looking at the person in front of him, a faint smile appearing on his lips, "I still think that Sister Li'er, who I can kiss and hug, is more real and more likable!"
Zhu Li felt a sweet warmth in her heart at his straightforward words, but her face flushed red. She spat lightly, "You smooth talker! You're praising me so highly just to prove how amazing and discerning you, Shen Yunhao, are! According to you, if Senior Shangguan lets you kiss and hug him someday, wouldn't things be different?"
Shen Yunhao hadn't expected that the usually naive and innocent little white dragon would seize on the loophole in his words so quickly, and hurriedly coughed twice to cover up his guilty conscience:
"Ahem... Shh! You can't say things like that! If Senior Shangguan's die-hard fans hear this, I'm doomed!"
"Fanboy? What's that?"
Shen Yunhao sighed, without offering a detailed explanation.
He could almost imagine the sensation that Shangguan Jingming's stunning appearance would cause among the cultivators on the continent who had only heard of him before but never seen him.
A legendary being who combines power, beauty, mystery, and the aura of a righteous leader, who will become an inviolable idol in the hearts of countless people!
Shen Yunhao has a deep understanding of this "idol effect".
Take Zhuli, for example. How many people have shouted "Down with Shen Yunhao! Give me back my Seventh Princess!"?
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore! In short, I won't go back to the righteous path for a while to avoid causing unnecessary trouble. Sister Li'er, when you go back, please give Yao'er a letter so that she doesn't have to worry too much."
Zhu Li raised her eyelids and glanced at him, puffing out her pink cheeks. "Tch! But whether that brat will even see me is another matter! Every time she sees me, she calls me 'Auntie'! It's so annoying!"
The tension between Zhu Li and Ning Yuyao wasn't something that had just started. Shen Yunhao thought for a moment and said, "If it's inconvenient for Yao'er, or if she's still in seclusion or something, you can give the letter to Palace Master Nie? She should be able to pass it on."
"You mean Aunt Nie?" Zhu Li frowned slightly. "Isn't she the one who's most opposed to that brat dating you? Giving the letter to her would be like throwing a lamb to the slaughter. I think it would be better to give it to Guan Yingying, or that Ying Tangtang..."
Shen Yunhao interrupted her impatiently, "Forget it, if we give it to those two, this letter will never reach Yao'er in this lifetime!"
Although Palace Master Nie is strict and rigid, she is the one who truly cares about Yao'er's feelings the most, and would never secretly do anything malicious.
