These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

Inside the palace.

"boom."

Exhausted, Ye Bingluan finally collapsed to the ground.

She leaned against the dragon throne, breathing heavily, her face pale and covered in cold sweat.

It seemed there was no energy left.

But when she saw the bright sunshine finally breaking through the door, she smiled from the bottom of her heart.

Tears welled up in the eyes of the girl leaning against the dragon throne once again.

For some reason, she has cried more times than ever before during this period.

But this time, the tears were from genuine joy and relief.

It was as if all the pressure and grievances that had been building up for a long time were released at this moment.

No one can know exactly what kind of torment this girl endured during that time.

She was whipped, tormented by mental pressure, and almost had all her strength and life drained from her body.

But she never gave up.

Instead, he persevered until he returned to Chaoge, where his final battle was against the magic array that sought to refine him along with it.

She survived.

Chaoge City survived.

The great merchants, in particular, survived.

At that moment, she didn't know what to say, only tears streaming down her face. Through her blurred vision, she looked at the front door.

Feeling the weakness in my body, as if I could die at any moment.

She still wanted to laugh.

Weakly muttering to himself.

"I did it..."

Yes, she did it all, things she never dared to even dream of before.

The ease and joy she felt at that moment made Ye Bingluan truly feel that her life would not be a pity at all if it ended at this moment.

It's as if dying now is the only truly fitting way to die.

Just like those who say: "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die happy in the evening."

Just as she was thinking this, she felt a sense of emptiness in her body, and she almost closed her eyes immediately.

Everything in front of me became blurry.

She felt as if she was really about to leave this world.

Isn't that a bit too cruel?

Or is one's mission really this cruel?

Why dedicate everything here and then leave all the fruits to future generations?

Perhaps this is fate... but it doesn't matter anymore.

In the end, we did our best and left the rest to fate.

Just as the girl was about to close her eyes in exhaustion, she saw a figure walk in through the door in her blurry vision.

And his voice.

"Ye Bingluan".

She was gentle, but not as caring as her own father.

But it is true.

Ye Bingluan tried to lift her head, but noticed that the other person squatted down and hugged her.

In the past, they would definitely have struggled with it.

No one should hug you like this for no reason.

She simply didn't have the strength to react at all; she didn't even have the rosy glow that should have appeared on her pale cheeks.

She struggled to open her eyes, looking at him as if it were the last time she would ever see him.

"I...did it..."

She said this in a very weak voice.

Then, however, I felt a warm, comforting sensation flowing into my body.

Then I heard his laughter.

"Why are you acting like a child? Want a reward? I can't give you one."

Ye Bingluan wanted to laugh, but she didn't have the strength; she felt mostly dizzy.

Exhausted, or perhaps truly at her limit, she strained to reach out and grasp something.

Perhaps he just wanted to touch the boy's face.

But then everything went black, and Ye Bingluan closed her eyes...

When Ye Bingluan opened her eyes again, it was already night.

She didn't know which night it was, but when she opened her eyes, she saw the decor of the palace where she had only lived for a few days.

Inside the palace, the bright red curtains and lifelike carvings are clearly visible.

"This is not a dream..."

Ye Bingluan sat up and saw that the blanket was covering her.

The room was lit with incense and candles.

and many more……

Ye Bingluan lifted the blanket and looked inside.

"Well……!"

Her pretty face flushed red.

Because she saw that her clothes had been changed! What should have been a simple dress had now been replaced with a luxurious and exquisite lining.

If I remember correctly... the last person I saw before I lost consciousness... was that boy... was Wei Tu!

So... his clothes were probably... changed by him?

Wouldn't that mean they'd see everything?!

Ye Bingluan was immediately overcome with an indescribable sense of embarrassment, and it was precisely at this moment that she felt a surge of shyness.

"Creak~~"

The door to the bedchamber was pushed open.

38. A charming smile, beautiful eyes (Bonus chapter for monthly votes!)

"Your Majesty? You're awake!"

Ye Bingluan looked at the maid at the door with some confusion as she happily knelt down in front of her and then excitedly said...

"Your Majesty, please wait! This servant will have the imperial physician come in and take a look. Please do not move around!"

So when the imperial physician took her pulse, Ye Bingluan roughly figured out what had happened. Perhaps, like what happened in Jiuyang City, these people... returned to Chaoge City as if nothing had happened, allowing the entire Shang Kingdom to continue operating.

It's hard to say whether this is a miracle or a display of mercy from an evil person.

However, Ye Bingluan couldn't say she was particularly fortunate, let alone grateful.

Because she knew that if she had given up even a little bit back then, things would have turned out completely differently.

There's nothing to be grateful for, rather than...

"By the way, who helped me change my clothes?"

Ye Bingluan watched the imperial physician slowly leave, and then asked the question that had puzzled her for a long time and worried her for a long time.

The maid suddenly burst into laughter.

This made Ye Bingluan frown.

"What are you laughing at? I'm asking you a question!"

The other person's laughter made Ye Bingluan feel flustered and confused, unsure of its meaning.

The maidservant immediately replied with a smile.

"Your Majesty... it was this servant who helped you change your clothes..."

"Oh……"

Ye Bingluan seemed relieved, as if she had avoided the possibility of her chastity being ruined...

But... why do I feel a little lost?

But at that moment, the maid immediately spoke up.

"But it was that immortal master who carried you here..."

"Is that so?"

Ye Bingluan wanted to appear calm and collected, but her unconsciously drawn-out questions clearly betrayed her true feelings.

The maid nodded with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

"Then where is he, the Immortal Master, now?"

The girl addressed him in a deliberately unfamiliar tone, as if that would fool people; in truth, it was unclear whether she was trying to deceive others or herself.
