I am the villain, plundering the destiny of the heroine.

"Bang bang bang!"

"What qualifications do you have to restrict the freedom of this princess! Let me out now!"

Along with the fierce knocking on the door, a girl's angry scolding voice was heard from a cabin in the warship.

The general guarding outside the door responded helplessly: "Your Highness, please calm down. General Li has specifically ordered that for the sake of your safety, your Highness cannot go anywhere before arriving at the Imperial Capital."

Zhou Furong angrily retorted: "Why should I be in danger? The person who is really in danger is Li Xu!"

"We have already conveyed this to His Highness."

The generals continued to comfort her through the door: "When the general arrived in Jinling City, the leader of Tianfu had already been killed by Master Li. All the people in Jinling City were saved, and Master Li was safe and sound."

"Since Li Xu is fine, why hasn't he come to see me for so long?"

"This……"

The generals were vague: "The general has other arrangements for Master Li. When Your Highness arrives in the Imperial Capital, he will naturally be able to meet Master Li."

Zhou Furong actually believed what everyone outside the door said, and she also felt that Li Xu should be safe and sound. After all, Li Tianai was his sister. If he really encountered an accident, the warship would not be so peaceful.

But Zhou Furong couldn't put her mind at ease as she hadn't been able to see Li Xu's condition with her own eyes for two whole days.

"I want to see Li Xu right now! I'll give you two choices. One is to let me out immediately, or ask Li Xu to come find me himself!"

If Zhou Furong's cultivation had not been sealed by Li Tianai, with her arrogant temper, she would have forced the door open with a palm and would not have wasted so much time talking to so many people.

"Your Highness, please be patient."

Everyone was having a headache dealing with Zhou Furong, and could only repeatedly comfort her: "Mr. Li can't come for the time being, wait until he arrives in Beijing tomorrow..."

"Is Li Xu seriously injured?!"

Zhou Furong suddenly thought of something, and her originally angry voice suddenly became anxious.

"He must be seriously injured, so Li Tianai didn't allow me to see him. How badly was he injured?"

The generals hesitated for a moment. They actually didn't know the severity of Li Xu's injuries. They only knew that two days ago, after Li Tianai brought him onto the warship, he arranged for another group of generals to guard and supervise him.

"Mr. Li's injuries——"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am fine."

A warm and familiar laugh came from a distance, and Zhou Furong, who was in the cabin with an anxious look on her face, was stunned.

The generals outside the door looked in the direction of the voice and saw Li Xu walking towards them from the other end of the deck in a luxurious purple robe. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a faint curve at the corner of his mouth.

"Mr. Li, why...why did you come out?"

The generals were stunned. They knew that Li Xu, like Zhou Furong, was also under house arrest by Li Tianai. Their first reaction was that Li Xu had sneaked out. They were about to pounce on him and pin him down, but suddenly they saw Li Xu flip his palm and take out a token from his ring:
"Li Tianai asked me to come and take His Highness away. Let him go."

"Master, wait a moment."

Everyone was skeptical and checked the spiritual power fluctuations inside the token. They confirmed that it was indeed Li Tianai's handwritten order, so they gave up the idea of ​​rushing over to hold Li Xu down and turned around to open the door that had been locked in by Zhou Furong for two days.

"Why did you come to me just now?"

When Zhou Furong saw Li Xu appearing in front of her intact, she was so excited that she didn't even care about her image and manners. She rushed into his arms, clenched her jade hands into pink fists and lightly hit his chest, crying with joy:

"Do you know how worried I have been about you these past two days? Wuwuwu..."

Li Xu glanced at the shocked expressions of the generals around him. He did not expect Zhou Furong to be so worried about him that she lost her composure. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you for protecting His Highness these past two days."

The generals came to their senses, how could they not see the ambiguous relationship between the two? They hurriedly bowed and returned the greeting: "Sir, there is no need to be polite. I am just following orders."

...What a good obedient man! Li Tianai said, "You even dare to imprison the princess. With subordinates like you, how can we not overthrow Emperor Yan?"

Li Xu nodded without saying anything more. He embraced Zhou Furong's slender waist which was trembling slightly with joy, and a Daluo Time and Space Spell disappeared on the spot.

"this!"

The generals were stunned at first, and then their expressions became even more shocked than when they saw Zhou Furong throw herself into Li Xu's arms.

"Is Master Li's speed so terrifying?"

"Before I could react, he took the princess away. I didn't even notice which direction he was going!"

Even when facing Li Tianai, everyone had never felt such an incredible speed, and they couldn't figure out how Li Xu left just now.

"Mr. Li is indeed no longer the same as before!"

After being puzzled for a while, a bearded general sighed.

"Six months ago, Master Li was rescued by General Li and put on the warship. He was only at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, but now he has grown to the point where he can kill the Tianfu Sect Master alone!"

Two days ago, when Li Tianai arrived in Jinling City, everyone on the warship witnessed the spectacular scene of Li Xu beheading the leader of Tianfu Sect.

"Such an astonishing growth rate. Throughout history, only General Li can be compared with Young Master Li." Another general echoed.

“If you think about it, this is actually quite normal.”

"You don't really think that General Li's brother is a playboy who only knows how to spend his time in debauchery, do you?"

……

……

Thousands of meters away from the warship, Li Xu was completely unaware that he had become a controversial figure in the eyes of many generals. At this moment, he hugged Zhou Furong and turned into a flash of fire, flying at full speed towards the direction of Imperial Capital City. He patted the soft body in his arms soothingly and chuckled softly:
"I told you I'd be fine, why are you still so worried?"

Zhou Furong lost her composure just now because of excitement. After Li Xu patted her on the back twice, she calmed down. She buried her shy face tightly in Li Xu's arms, not daring to show her face to the generals around her, and said stubbornly:

"Who... who is worried about you, uh, where are we?"

She was awakened by the whistling sound of sonic boom in her ears. She turned her head blankly and saw herself and Li Xu flying at lightning speed in the sky. There was no trace of the warship around them.

"I will take you back to Imperial City now."

Li Xu explained, seeing Zhou Furong's pretty face blushing and confused, she was so cute and charming, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her forehead. "What are you kissing!"

Zhou Furong raised her hand to wipe her forehead sweetly, and her soft body leaned into Li Xu's arms again: "It's all your saliva, it stinks... Wait!"

She came to her senses belatedly and said in surprise, "No, it's just the two of us going back to Imperial Capital City. Where's Li Tianai?"

"My sister is on military duty and won't be back so soon."

Li Xu didn't tell the truth. It wasn't that Li Tianai didn't want to go back to the capital city so soon, but that she couldn't.

This time, she disobeyed the emperor's order and led her troops back to the capital without authorization. Emperor Yan was in collusion with the major sects, and it was expected that there would be major actions in the near future. He would definitely not allow Li Tianai to lead her army into the capital smoothly.

This is why when Zhou Furong met Li Tianai two days ago, the flying boat was leisurely strolling in the Jiangnan area. The army could not enter the capital and could only stay in the outside world.

"Oh, that's how it is."

Zhou Furong nodded, not quite understanding, and did not ask what military duty Li Tianai was carrying out. She murmured in dissatisfaction:
"Your sister was so rude. She imprisoned me on the warship for two days and didn't even show her face to me when she left."

Li Tianai's legs are so weak that she can't get out of bed, how can she show up with you...

Li Xu responded silently and did not tell Zhou Furong that if he had not helped her to get out of this matter, Li Tianai would have wanted to do far more than just imprison her for two days. She even wanted to capture Zhou Furong and use her as a hostage to threaten Emperor Yan.

This was probably the reason why Xiao Yan kept telling himself before his death that he must not let Zhou Furong return to Dijing City. With her level of cultivation, it would be easy for her to die in the game between Emperor Yan and Li Chunfeng.

"Rong'er, I want to ask you something." Li Xu suddenly changed the subject.

"what?"

"If, I mean if."

"If the person who wanted to destroy Jinling City two days ago was not the Tianfu Sect Master, but your father, what would you do?"

"My father?"

Zhou Furong said without hesitation, "Of course I will be the first to rush up and kill my father to stop him! Then I will let my brother ascend the throne and become the emperor. Then I won't have to worry about how to help my brother hide his daughter status in the future."

...filial piety!
Li Xu couldn't help but give her a thumbs up in his heart.

"You're kidding!"

Zhou Furong thought that Li Xu wanted to learn more about the relationship between her and her father so that he could prepare to marry her in the future, so she changed her tone and said with a smile, "In fact, if the person who wanted to destroy Jinling City was my father, let alone kill him, I wouldn't even dare to stop him."

"My brother and I were raised by our mother since we were young. Because our father was often in seclusion, we only met him a few times. Even if we occasionally saw him, my brother and I were very afraid of him and would never dare to act wildly in front of him."

"Now that I think about it, I finally understand why my sister would break out in a cold sweat every time she saw my father. I used to think she was just like me, afraid of my father's violent temper that would kill people without blinking an eye. Little did I know that every time my sister saw my father, it was like seeing the King of Hell. Once my father saw through my identity as a girl, my sister would be dead!"

Li Xu thought about it and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This time when he returned to the Imperial Capital, he was prepared to either be killed by Emperor Yan or kill him himself. He naturally did not want to create an irreconcilable feud with the two sisters Zhou Furong and Zhou Lingyu for killing their father.

You two sisters don't have deep feelings for Emperor Yan, so just help the right side instead of the relatives. This way, you don't have to worry about you being heartbroken after Emperor Yan's death, and even turning against me...

"Then Yu--Ahem, Rong'er, since your father has been in seclusion for so many years, I wonder what the relationship between Master and him is like?"

Li Xu continued to ask indirectly.

After all, Yu'er is a first-class cultivator who has practiced heaven-level skills, and her combat power is among the best in the world. Li Xu is prepared to fight to the death with Emperor Yan, so of course he cannot ignore her.

"Haven't you seen the relationship between our mother and father?" Zhou Furong asked.

"When you were kidnapped by Cheng Susu for the first time, my mother's charm poison broke out and no one could save her. My father was so anxious that he almost went crazy. He almost killed all the doctors in the palace several times."

"It was not until you came back and cured the poison that had infected your mother that your father was relieved and gave you all kinds of praise! If it weren't for the fact that your father, Li Chunfeng, was in such a high position that there was no more reward for him, your father would have rewarded you with a high official position!"

Li Xu recalled the scene of arranging flowers and jade in front of Emperor Yan that day, and his mouth became dry and his blood boiled unconsciously.

"Pooh!"

Zhou Furong was snuggling tightly in Li Xu's arms. Suddenly, she sensed something and blushed and spat:
"He just stabbed people secretly, so dishonest..."

"no!"

Li Xu forced the topic back on track: "Rong'er, I'm not asking about your father's feelings for Master, but... Master has been the Queen for so many years. Has she ever shown you her concern and love for Emperor Yan?"

Li Xu cares very much about this issue.

Although he had taken away Luo Meiyu's virgin essence, he had confirmed through personal experience that Luo Meiyu had been married to Emperor Yan as empress for more than ten years, and they had always been husband and wife in name only, not in reality. She was a virgin wife who could not be more standard!
But love between men and women has nothing to do with whether they are actually married or not. Even if Emperor Yan has never touched Luo Meiyu's body, it still cannot rule out the possibility that Luo Meiyu and he have a deep relationship.

If Luo Meiyu were to assist Emperor Yan at all costs during the final battle between him and Emperor Yan, it would definitely cause great trouble to him and others!
"My mother has never shown me her concern and love for my father."

Zhou Furong thought about it, then shook her head hesitantly: "I didn't feel anything before, but now I feel that the way my mother and father get along is a bit strange."

Li Xu's mind was moved: "What's so strange about this?"

Zhou Furong pondered and said, "Although my father loves my mother very much, as far as I can remember, he has never done anything intimate with her."

This is what she finds strange. She didn't find it strange before because she hadn't confessed her feelings to Li Xu. But now that she has confessed her feelings to Li Xu and fallen in love with him, her heart and eyes are filled with her ideal lover. She wishes she could be sweetly together with Li Xu all the time, never apart for a moment.

"Every time my father and mother meet, they are very polite and respectful to each other. Sometimes I feel that they are more like two gentlemen friends than a couple."

"Is this so..."

Not hearing any description of the love between Luo Meiyu and Emperor Yan, Li Xu once again breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although I haven't had much contact with Yu'er, her gentle and kind nature is not fake at all!"

"Yu'er is such a kind-hearted woman. If she knew that Emperor Yan was going to destroy Jinling City, she would definitely not go along with him - but the premise is that Yu'er must not have a deep relationship with Emperor Yan!"

This is the truth that Li Xu learned from personal experience. A woman who falls in love can easily become confused and lose her mind for the person she loves, and thus behave in a way that is inconsistent with her normal personality.

For example, Ji Weiming, in order to go south and rule the Central Plains, she fought against Li Tianai in the north for ten years. Now she took the initiative to negotiate peace with the court.

Another example is Li Tianai, her adopted sister had long decided to integrate into the Heavenly Dao to resolve the catastrophe in the future, but after she was completely in harmony with me physically and mentally last night, she still agreed to do everything by me. (End of this chapter)
