I'll even show you crossdressing men.

It's clear that the Shadow Guard isn't loyal to the supremacy of the monarchy, but rather to the royal family. It's a pity that this generation's monarch is indeed focused on the supremacy of the monarchy.

"Welcome, Your Majesty! Everything you requested is ready." A brightly decorated palace appeared before them after turning a corner. The maids standing in two rows along the path all knelt down upon seeing him. Only one maid, standing in the middle of the path and clearly different from the others, did not kneel upon seeing him, but merely offered a curtsy and spoke.

"If you're not ready, you can expect to be alone for a month, haha." He reached out and patted her pert bottom, his words making the unusual maidservant squirm. She said, sounding both angry and coquettish, "Your Majesty, you're so mean! How can you say that?"

"My palace, my woman, I call the shots." He laughed as he carried Ji Xiuyu into a very luxurious room, placed her on the bed, stretched, and then directed the shadow guards to place Wang Quan Tianxia on a chair beside the bed.

The maid standing at the door saw this scene and felt a pang of pity in her eyes. How similar it had been! Her own husband had been pinned down like this, watching himself being violated, going from initial resistance to submission, and then finally giving up.

Now, she knows who His Majesty is going to violate, and she understands the relationship between the two of them. That's why she pities the royal power and the world, which will probably be destroyed in the future.

"Give him the antidote, then seal him inside that crystal wall. Hmph, that crystal wall that even I can't break, he has no way to do anything but watch me violate him. This unfilial son, I'll let him know what the authority of a father is."

His words were silently obeyed by the shadow guard, who, along with his chair, disappeared into the transparent crystal wall. There was nothing more for him to do here; it was time for him to reign supreme.

"My little beauty, I'm here. Let me show you whether my good-for-nothing son is better or I am." He reached out and tore off his dragon robe, clearly impatient.

Wang Quan Tianxia, ​​inside the crystal wall, also woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw his father tearing his clothes, while Ji Xiuyu was lying on the bed, seemingly unconscious. He immediately knew what had happened.

"What are you doing? Father?! She is your daughter-in-law, my fiancée!" He tried to rush over, but crashed into a transparent wall. He punched it with all his might, injuring his hand, but the wall remained unmoved. Knowing that he could not break through it, he tried to persuade the Supreme King to give up his actions with words.

"Heh, so you still remember I'm your father? She's my daughter-in-law, your fiancée, but soon she won't be. Soon she'll become a woman in front of you, my woman. I told you to deliver her to me yourself, but you wouldn't. You had to resort to this method?"

Wang Quan Zhi Shang sneered, tearing off all his clothes except for Ji Xiu Yu on the bed who hadn't taken them off.

"Ahhh, you can't do this, Father! She's an epic-level powerhouse, our reliance in dealing with the monsters outside!" Wang Quan Tianxia cried out desperately, but to no avail.

"Go ahead and scream, I will never give up." Wang Quan Zhi Shang completely ignored his words and reached down to unbutton Ji Xiu Yu's clothes.

Just then, a faint, exotic fragrance wafted over, catching his attention. What was this?

Before he could react, his body felt as if something had invaded it, and he became burning hot. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but a bunch of pills were poured in and then his mouth was forcefully closed, forcing him to swallow them.

That was Ji Xiuyu, and at the same time, her voice came: "I'm not that stupid, you know, enjoy it..."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head, glanced at Wang Quan Tianxia, ​​and then disappeared with a frown.

After she disappeared, a demon suddenly appeared here, extending its tentacles to bind the naked body of the Supreme King. What happens next will surely cause turmoil throughout the entire royal family and even the royal city...

But what does that have to do with Ji Xiuyu?

Chapter 196: I'll Go With You

"Young Master, can we leave now?" Outside the royal city, Ziqing and the other girls were waiting for Ji Xiuyu, accompanied by Chuxue and three other people who served her in the palace.

The reason they were here was because Ji Xiuyu went to the banquet, and after they were stopped at the door, Ziqing suddenly took them to a place and told them some things.

It's roughly about Ji Xiuyu's identity, what she's going to do, and the issue of them leaving the city.

These four girls, who were already destitute and alone, were sent to serve Ji Xiuyu after completing their training as maids. She was their first person to serve, and given her likable personality and extraordinary strength, the girls hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow her.

They were more or less aware of what the supreme king was going to do. They knew that if they stayed there any longer, not to mention whether they could save their lives, there would definitely be problems later. After all, Ji Xiuyu had run away, and as servants, they were likely to be implicated. Rather than foolishly waiting for something to happen, it was better to choose a better path for themselves. At least that way, they could have a better outcome.

Seeing the others there, Ji Xiuyu was first taken aback, then felt somewhat relieved. She hadn't experienced palace intrigue, but she wasn't stupid. She understood that if she had just run away after doing what she had done, the others would have suffered a terrible fate.

Zi Qing's ability to consider this and persuade them to come out saved the lives of several girls. As for what choices they would make after running away with them, she wouldn't interfere; surviving was a good outcome.

"Yes, I used the things you gave me. The Supreme Ruler won't appear until at least tomorrow. The palace is also isolated by special energy, and with that special demon, it should be enough to make him suffer."

Ji Xiuyu said this with some embarrassment, because Zi Qing had clearly explained the effects of that demon, and with the addition of that medicine, it was inevitable that the Wangquan family would be thrown into chaos and that the supremacy of the Wangquan would be in trouble.

To be honest, she hadn't expected Ziqing to have those kinds of things. Aren't those things only people with special preferences possess? Why would she have them?

She didn't ask the question, feeling that the answer must be very strange.

"I've already informed Aunt Alicia and the others. They're waiting for us in the secret passage. We might have to fight our way out, but it shouldn't be a big problem." Things happened rather quickly, so we weren't prepared, but Ziqing managed to handle it quite well with her abilities.

It must be said that Fei Gong Qianse's decision to bring the three of them over was absolutely the right one, especially Zi Qing. This girl's intelligence can save Ji Xiuyu from countless troubles and is of great help to her.

"Then let's go out. Although there are still many things to do, there's no time left. The Supreme Ruler acted too quickly." Ji Xiuyu was slightly regretful. According to her previous plan, she would not leave until tomorrow night or the morning after tomorrow, by which time everything would be arranged properly.

Doing this now, even though it greatly stimulates the development of events, also makes some of her arrangements dangerous. Whether they will work or not is uncertain. At the very least, it can put the Wang Quan family in a situation where they can only deal with their own affairs and can no longer cause her trouble.

"Okay." Without further ado, the girls immediately cast spells to completely conceal their presence and voices. With all the experts within the royal city, the rest of the group would have no chance of finding them.

As they walked, in a dark alley not far from the Liu family's house, Ji Xiuyu suddenly stopped. As if she had heard something, she hesitated for a moment and then said softly to Ziqing and the others, "Qing'er, you come with me. Xiaoyu and Tina, you two protect them."

"Young Master, go ahead, go ahead~" Bai Yu and Tina knew what she was going to do. Since it was rare for the young master to be so proactive, they didn't say anything and let her go.

"Qingli, don't blame your brother. Given the current situation, you'll probably be marrying into the Wangquan family soon. But look at your rival, Ji Xiuyu—you can't possibly beat her. Rather than let someone else live an unhappy life, let me become your beloved. I will be good to you for the rest of my life..."

His voice was gentle and refined, but the message it conveyed was chilling: this guy was actually trying to harm his own sister.

"Brother...no...no...please stop..." A clear, melodious girl's voice, trembling with sobs, followed, as if she were trying to break free from something.

“No, we grew up together, and you grew up with him too. Why can’t you choose me? What’s wrong with me compared to him?” He refused, displaying a determined resolve towards the girl.

"We're siblings, brother, please let me go... no..." The crying grew louder and louder, but the courtyard was quiet and secluded, and there seemed to be no one around. Her words were basically a last-ditch effort.

"No! That guy Wang Quan Tian Xia is probably already sleeping with Ji Xiu Yu. I can't let you be with that kind of guy, absolutely not..." These words were somewhat ferocious. Even though the tone was still gentle, the more gentle it was, the more terrifying it became.

"Brother...no..." Liu Qingli's sobs were weak, indicating that she had no way to resist.

"Although I don't want to bother you, it's not good to do such a thing." Just as the man pulled down the sash on Liu Qingli's long dress, which she couldn't move, and before he could take off her clothes, a voice sounded behind him.

The sudden appearance of the person seemed to startle him. He turned around to see who it was, only to be met with a huge hammer that knocked him unconscious.

"This is just a mental hammer and won't hurt you. However, your soul is injured and you'll probably need several days to recover. In the meantime, think carefully about what you should do."

Ji Xiuyu put away the huge hammer, then turned to look at Liu Qingli, who was softly weeping. After a moment of silence, he asked, "What are your plans now?"

"Are you Sister Xiuyu?" Liu Qingli covered her lips, tears streaming down her face, but her emotions seemed to be calming down.

After hearing her question, Ji Xiuyu, who was wearing a long robe that covered half of her face, hesitated for a moment before asking.

"Hmm." Her answer seemed to relieve Liu Qingli of some worry, and she whispered, "That's great, Brother Tianxia didn't do that."

"Of course, I was kidnapped and have nothing to do with the royal power and world, and it's impossible for me to be with him." Ji Xiuyu smiled lightly, there was no need to hide this matter anymore.

"Is that so... Then, can you take me away? I want to go to another city to calm down and escape this matter..." Her eyes flickered, she first looked at her brother, and then stared at Ji Xiuyu, asking somewhat nervously.

"If you want, it shouldn't be a problem..." She exchanged a glance with Ziqing and agreed.

"That's wonderful..." At least for now, Ji Xiuyu couldn't understand her feelings...

Chapter 197: How many years is the sentence for trafficking a beautiful girl? Urgent!

"How were you captured?" Ji Xiuyu was somewhat confused as to why she had been brought here. If she had lost consciousness, that would be one thing, but she didn't seem to be unconscious at all. Could she have been tricked into coming here?

Ji Xiuyu had some doubts about the fact that she had been tricked into coming here. Although they hadn't had much contact, the girl was quite intelligent and behaved properly. She was not the kind of person who would be easily fooled.

However, although Liu Qingli felt somewhat embarrassed to say it, she still told them why she had come here: "My brother said that Brother Tianxia was waiting for me here, so I..."

This reason is truly remarkable; no wonder she fell for it. However, besides this reason, I imagine she would have fallen for other things as well, even if they were just as clever as she is, since she hasn't experienced much else.

The people around her are all highly intelligent, so when she sees an outstanding young woman, she subconsciously assumes that the woman is also intelligent.

But think about it, if someone you like invites you to meet them at this place at the end of a banquet, it's normal for a girl who has always longed for romance to fall for it easily—Hime Hideyu was a prime example before.

"Forget it, that's all in the past. It's fine for you to come with me now. There will be a big change in Wangquan City soon. If you stay here, along with this guy and your relationship with Wangquan Tianxia, ​​it will be very troublesome. It's not a bad thing to go out and lay low for a while."

Ji Xiuyu said this to make her decide to leave, not because she had any strange thoughts about her, but because she didn't want something to happen to someone she had some affection for.

However, after she mentioned the major upheaval that was related to the power and the world, Liu Qingli became reluctant to leave. After her gaze darted around for a moment, she whispered, "Sister Xiuyu, can I not go?"

"What's wrong?" Ji Xiuyu kept asking, while Ziqing next to him was about to facepalm. The young master was really slow on the uptake.

Having no other choice, she tugged at Ji Xiuyu's sleeve, pulled her behind her, and whispered, "Miss, let me do it."

For a moment, Ji Xiuyu was a little confused by her actions and address. Only after understanding her explanation to the girl did she realize that she really didn't know anything.

“Miss Qingli, I know you are worried about the safety of Wangquan Tianxia, ​​but please rest assured that as long as my young lady is safe, Wangquan Tianxia will be fine. After all, no matter what, in name, my young lady is still his fiancée. No one can change that, and no one can ignore that, not even the current king.”

"It might cause him some trouble, but no one dares to really take his life, because no one dares to bear the wrath of an epic-level powerhouse, not even a country."

"Therefore, minor suffering will be constant, major suffering will be occasional, but the things you worry about will never happen."

"On the contrary, if you stay here, the world will be worried about your safety, so they will inevitably be hesitant to do their own thing, fearing that they will cause you trouble."

"They may fear my young lady, but they might not fear your Liu family. If your decisions lead to the quagmire of the supremacy of royal power, won't you regret it?"

"Now is the best time. After these problems arise, we can use this excuse to talk to our family and explain things to Wang Quan Tianxia."

“They might worry if I leave with other people, but they would probably be more than willing to leave with my young lady.”

"After all, you can't argue with that a real epic-level powerhouse is more appealing to them than a prince who might not even become king. Besides, they'll think you've been chosen by my young lady to be her disciple or something."

"Now that they no longer need to worry about your safety, they can focus on facing the upcoming turmoil. You will also be able to travel around with my young lady, see how vast this world is, and cultivate along the way, so that you can truly be worthy of the throne in the future..."

After she said so much, especially the phrase "truly worthy of the throne and the world," the girl glanced at Ji Xiuyu and finally decided to follow her again.

The preceding words were meant to make her understand her situation, giving the girl ample psychological preparation and laying the groundwork for shaking her resolve. The entire following speech was a foreshadowing of the final sentence, instantly leading her to agree as she followed Ziqing's train of thought.

Even if she later feels something is amiss, she won't understand what went wrong; she'll only think that she might be overthinking things.

It must be said that she was lying to her, but the fact that it was seven parts true and three parts false made it impossible to discern the truth from the facts.

As for why she tricked her into following Ji Xiuyu, she naturally had her own plans. Unlike Ji Xiuyu's pure kindness, she always did things with a clear purpose.

"Um, Sister Xiuyu, could you please inform my parents and Brother Tianxia?" After making the decision, her biggest worry was that her family would know she had left with Ji Xiuyu.

“There’s no problem with that.” Without Ji Xiuyu even having to lift a finger, Ziqing threw two jade stones into the sky. The jade stones instantly flew away like six stars, one landing in the royal city and the other landing precisely in her home.

"Alright." With this move, she subdued the girl. Suddenly, she wondered if it was really okay for her to follow them. This maid girl had such formidable strength. Just who was Ji Xiuyu?

Unfortunately, since she had already agreed, she was like a fish that had taken the bait. For Zi Qing, the foundational plan to complete the final preparations had already begun, and she would absolutely not let her leave.

"Let's go, let's leave before things really get chaotic." With the absolute defensive barrier in place, there's no need to worry about the monsters being able to break in, so it's fine for Ji Xiuyu and the others to leave early.

"Hmm." Following behind them somewhat haphazardly, Liu Qingli wasn't stupid; she vaguely guessed what their intentions were in having her come. However, she didn't say anything. Just as Zi Qing had thought, she also wanted to be a useful person, at least worthy of the throne.

To achieve this, one must at least have the power to challenge Ji Xiuyu. The only one capable of bringing about such a change in her is her nominal rival, her older sister.

If I could become her disciple and cultivate under her, it would definitely be a good choice.

After they left, a black figure appeared in the room, looked at the man, and sneered disdainfully, "Useless. The organization has wasted its time raising you."

He had barely finished speaking when a hand landed on his shoulder...
