He had just been reborn when he was imprisoned by his nemesis, the Empress?

Xu Yi rolled his eyes and muttered to himself:

That's not about never leaving me; it's clearly about you not letting me go...

But he could only go along with her words and give her perfunctory replies.

"Yes, yes, yes, I can never repay the Empress's kindness in my lifetime."

After saying that, he picked up a handkerchief, dampened it with water, and wiped his face.

Su Qingluan knew that Xu Yi was just being perfunctory, but she didn't care and continued to instill Jiang Xuange's bad ideas in Xu Yi.

Every word she uttered was meant to belittle Jiang Xuange, and then she would turn around and frantically elevate herself.

Xu Yi was so annoyed by what he heard that he almost had calluses on his ears, so he simply stopped talking and turned to look at Su Qingluan.

As he watched, a sudden thought struck him: he realized he didn't seem to hate this woman as much as before.

Damn, this woman definitely has some kind of seductive power, how can I not hate her?

Xu Yi, do you really have masochistic tendencies?!

Xu Yi could no longer bear it and quickly raised his hand to interrupt her.

"Stop, stop, stop! I am absolutely loyal to you."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingluan's phoenix eyes brightened slightly, a hint of amusement appearing in her languid expression, her tone clearly skeptical.

"real?"

Xu Yi nodded and replied.

"real."

Su Qingluan looked at him, a sly smile playing on her lips. With a flick of her finger, she pulled a gleaming dagger from her ring.

The blade was gleaming, exuding a chilling aura.

She handed the dagger to Xu Yi, her tone light and casual.

"Then next time you see Jiang Xuange, stab her."

Xu Yi stared at the short knife so close to his face, his expression instantly freezing.

He opened his mouth, but after a long pause, he managed to utter a sentence.

"I am a person who never kills living beings."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingluan couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"Didn't you kill enough people in your past life? Now you're acting like a saint."

Xu Yi's face flushed red and then turned pale. After a moment of silence, he said...

"Change your request; I really can't do this."

Su Qingluan toyed with the short knife in her hand, her fingertips lightly tracing the blade.

"Then kiss my foot."

Xu Yi's lips twitched in anger.

"Then I'm not loyal."

Su Qingluan was not annoyed. She raised her hand and took off her embroidered shoes. Her pair of fair and delicate feet swayed gently, smooth and spotless.

"It's not like we've never kissed before, what's there to be shy about?"

Her tone was flippant, and her delicate foot lightly brushed against the back of his hand, the touch smooth and delicate.

Xu Yi's cheeks flushed slightly at her words; he was both angry and embarrassed, and he gritted his teeth as he accused her.

"Being with you will really shorten my lifespan..."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingluan smiled, her eyes crinkling, her tone filled with a touch of doting affection.

"It's alright, I have the longevity fruit."

"Then we'll split it in half, so you can stay with me forever."

Xu Yi was so frightened by her words that he almost cried, and he suddenly lunged towards the window.

"Jump out of the car! I want to jump out of the car!"

The moment his hand touched the window, he felt a soft, warm touch on his back as Su Qingluan gently pulled him into her arms from behind.

She wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, locking him firmly in front of her, leaving him no room to break free.

Su Qingluan gently rested her chin on the top of his head and gently stroked Xu Yi's hair with her palm.

Then, she lowered her head slightly, and her soft lips gently landed on the crown of his head, a tender kiss with a faint, cool fragrance.

Then she leaned down slightly, pressed her cheek against his neck, gently kissed his earlobe, and softly comforted him.

"Okay, okay, stop making a fuss."

Although I hate to admit it, it really felt comfortable in her arms.

Xu Yi stopped struggling and sighed.

"I wish you could always be like this."

Su Qingluan chuckled softly, her tone carrying a hint of straightforward honesty.

"That's impossible. I only do that when I'm in a good mood."

Xu Yi angrily shouted again, struggling violently.

"Jump out of the car! I'm jumping out of the car today no matter what!"

Su Qingluan was prepared, tightening her arms and holding him firmly in her embrace, remaining unmoved no matter how much he struggled.

......

Half a day later, the two returned to the palace. Su Qingluan looked at the vermilion palace walls and said in a light tone...

"Home is still the best."

Xu Yi followed her out of the car, looking at the magnificent yet oppressive palace, and reluctantly began to speak.

"But this isn't my home. I want to go back to my home. My sows are waiting for me to feed them."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingluan couldn't help but laugh out loud, shook her head, and spoke with a hint of cruelty in her tone.

"I can't let you go."

"Besides, your pig has been out here for so many days now, it should have starved to death long ago."

These words struck Xu Yi like a bolt from the blue. His eyes instantly reddened, and he crouched down, clutching his chest, wailing in a tearful voice.

"Waaaah, my Cuihua! My dear Cuihua! It's all your fault, you have to make it up to me, Cuihua!"

Su Qingluan found his exaggerated appearance amusing.

He immediately tapped Xu Yi on the head, his tone somewhat perfunctory and comforting.

"Alright, alright, stop crying. It's no big deal. I'll have the imperial kitchen cook you a meal of Cuihua tonight to satisfy your craving."

Xu Yi was so angry after hearing this that he almost died on the spot.

He had been holding back his anger, and suddenly punched Su Qingluan in the back with considerable force.

Su Qingluan was hit by him, but she was not angry. Instead, she smiled even more brightly and continued to walk slowly towards the main hall without stopping.

......

Night fell quickly in the inner palace.

Xu Yi resisted desperately, but Su Qingluan forcefully dragged him to the bed and held him tightly in her arms, leaving him no room to break free.

Xu Yi had no choice but to resign himself to lying in her arms.

He struggled for a long time to no avail, and could only resign himself to closing his eyes. His consciousness gradually sank, and he soon entered a dream.

......

Inside the camp, Xu Yi spotted the figure in the corner at a glance and quickly walked over.

He bent down and picked up Bai Li, who was squatting on the ground eating jerky, and smiled helplessly.

"You're eating again. How can you eat so much?"

The longer Xu Yi spent with this seemingly ordinary white fox, the more he realized that it was anything but ordinary.

This little thing eats as much as an untrained adult brown bear.

What surprised him even more was that Bai Li seemed to be able to manipulate her own presence at will.

Sometimes, without deliberately searching, he can easily spot it in a crowd.

Sometimes, however, he wouldn't even notice when the little thing practically pressed its furry head against his face.

This little guy is amazing.

Just then, a series of rapid, heavy footsteps approached from afar, making the ground tremble slightly.

Xu Yi looked up and saw Lü Chu running towards him.

His voice arrived before he did, his tone full of urgency.

"General, something terrible has happened, General!"
