These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

Wei Tu reached out and took the dragon robe back into his hand, then used a little of his inner energy.

Soon, visible steam rose, and the dragon robe not only became dry but also incredibly warm.

Then Wei Tu threw the dragon robe at Ye Bingluan.

"You're supposed to be at the Fusion Realm, how come you don't even know this?"

Ye Bingluan quickly hugged the dragon robe before she could remove her hand, blushing as she said, "How could I possibly have thought of that... You never taught me..."

"Do you need me to teach you how to eat?"

"That's not the same! Turn around quickly, I need to get dressed!"

"Why are you so shy? I saw everything clearly just now, is there anything you can't see?"

"quick!!"

"Good good."

Watching the boy's retreating figure, Ye Bingluan slowly got off the table, blushing as she put on the dragon robe.

But she did not immediately call out to Wei Tu to turn around.

Instead, they were looking at each other's backs.

In the flickering candlelight, the boy's back was tall and firm, like a harbor that a wandering traveler longs to see.

It is also like a high mountain that allows thousands of trees to grow strong.

Perhaps it was because she loved everything about Wei Tu, or perhaps it was the insecurity that had always resided in her heart, but she really liked Wei Tu's back view.

It's an incurable kind of liking.

It seemed to fulfill all her fantasies about having someone to rely on. Countless people had told her that becoming emperor meant becoming a true widow.

No one can be trusted, no one can accompany you, you cannot rely on others, because that is called cowardice and incompetence, and it is the act of a tyrant.

You can only rely on others...

But even the strongest person has times when they need someone to rely on.

Every day, he dealt with those memorials, witnessing the undercurrents within the court and the infighting among civil and military officials.

She had to carefully weigh the options, be cautious, and judge the truthfulness of every word and the reliability of every piece of news.

I'm really tired and exhausted.

She had a memory of her father, and he seemed to have said a lot to her.

But in my memory, I don't think I've ever relied on my father's arm. Because I've never felt it, I have no idea how I feel it...

Will his arms and his back be as reliable as his father's?

He'll only be more reliable... After all, there are many things he's done that even his father couldn't do.

The help he gave me was more than anyone else's...

Wei Tu found it somewhat strange.

Why does it take so long to get dressed? And it seems like there's been no further movement from behind.

But since he had promised Ye Bingluan, he certainly wouldn't suddenly turn back.

So I just asked in a soft voice.

"Is it done...?"

The words had barely been spoken.

He then felt a warm figure approaching him from behind.

She hugged herself from behind, wrapping her arms around her waist.

Her soft, warm breath brushed against her neck and ruffled her black hair.

Wei Tu keenly sensed the other person's calming emotions. He did not pull away from the other person's hand, but asked.

"what happened?"

Unexpectedly, the empress behind the scenes appeared quite naive and childish.

“Wei Tu…”

"Ok?"

Can your shoulders bear a mountain?

Wei Tu, however, seemed to think about it seriously.

"Although I haven't tried it, it's possible. Moving mountains and filling seas is not an impossible task in the Immortal Continent."

The young empress gave a soft "hmm" and then hugged herself even tighter.

"So strong, so reliable, just like a mountain..."

Wei Tu couldn't help but laugh, but instead of mocking the other person's naivety, he said...

"Don't worry, even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you first. Don't feel pressured."

"I want to sleep."

She said this, somewhat dazed, as if she had become so comfortable and sleepy in such reliable warmth.

Wei Tu nodded, then turned around, hugged the girl who could barely open her eyes, and whispered.

"Sleep well. I can't guarantee anything else. You're sure to have a wonderful dream in my arms."

"Okay...you must have sweet dreams every day too." PS: Happy Lunar New Year's Eve everyone! Wishing you good health and a happy family reunion!!

44. Slaying a god with his own hands!

"Under normal circumstances, the time required for seclusion to break through from the Fusion Realm to the Dragon Slaying Realm is generally about half a year. However, depending on individual talent, the time can be shortened appropriately, and mental state is also a factor. As for you... I estimate it might only take about a month."

At noon the next day, Ye Bingluan, who had just returned from the morning court session, was talking with Wei Tu in the imperial study.

This place, which could be considered a place where they had once 'fought,' always looked a bit strange to Ye Bingluan, as if she could faintly smell something there.

Actually, there wasn't anything there at all. Wei Tu certainly had ways to erase all traces in the room, so it was impossible for anything to remain...

But it can't erase the marks on this girl's heart.

"A month...that's a long time."

Ye Bingluan said with a frown.

Wei Tu looked at the young empress with annoyance, "That's enough. This talent is already beyond the reach of many cultivators in the Immortal Continent. If you had a foundation before, or if you had secluded yourself in the Immortal Continent, this number would be even shorter. I'm still being conservative."

Ye Bingluan raised an eyebrow slightly. "So I'm this good... How do I compare to Master?"

Wei Tu shook his head. "Almost."

Ye Bingluan looked at Wei Tu with resentment. This young empress seemed unwilling to be inferior to anyone in anything, even if that person was Wei Tu.

Ye Bingluan blinked curiously, "How long did it take you?"

Wei Tu held up one finger.

"A month?"

Wei Tu shook his head.

"It can't be... just one day, can it?"

Ye Bingluan was somewhat incredulous, but Wei Tu smiled as he looked at the young empress, "In an instant."

He can suppress his cultivation level, squeezing it to its peak. When his cultivation level is not high, the foundation he has accumulated will explode in an instant, and he will directly complete the breakthrough without even needing to go into seclusion.

Because the Dragon Slaying Realm was not a particularly high level for him, and he had ample experience. Whether it was his more profound internal energy than other cultivators or his powerful spiritual strength, he could meet the requirements.

Breaking through to the Divine Realm is not so simple. Once Ye Bingluan's matter is resolved, he will begin preparing to break through to the Divine Realm.

He had been at the peak of the Dragon Slayer Realm for far long enough.

Ye Bingluan frowned and said with great suspicion, "You're just bragging again. I don't believe you."

"Whether you believe it or not, there's nothing I can do. I can't perform for you. By the way, try not to see anyone for the next month. Find a quiet environment."

Ye Bingluan thought for a moment and said, "There is no problem. Things have been quite peaceful lately. I will have Prime Minister Cui handle some matters temporarily."

"Remember not to rush your cultivation, especially when it's crucial for a breakthrough. I will teach you some things to pay attention to and help you prepare some things, but don't be in a hurry to come out, otherwise it will backfire. At best, it will only damage your meridians, but at worst, you could suffer from qi deviation or even die from your body exploding."

"That dangerous?"

"If we proceed steadily and surely, there will be no problem. I'm talking about extreme situations."

"All right……"

Ye Bingluan nodded, then looked at Wei Tu as if she had thought of something, "Then, Master, will you stay with me in seclusion the whole time?"

Wei Tu thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I can't stay here for a month, but I'll stay with you for the first five days in case anything happens. The rest of the time is just about accumulating experience. If nothing goes wrong, I won't be needed anymore."

Ye Bingluan bit her thin lips, seemingly a little regretful and reluctant, but she still nodded sensibly. After all, she was no longer an innocent and carefree girl; she was the current emperor, and her greatest skill was weighing the pros and cons.

"Then I will make the arrangements now."

By the third day, Ye Bingluan had already arranged everything.

Although the emperor stayed indoors and didn't even see anyone, becoming a hands-off ruler did indeed sound like a bad omen.

Historical experience often tells these ministers that His Majesty must have become obsessed with something bad, to the point of madness.

So it did arouse some opposition, but the emperor is the emperor after all, and Ye Bingluan's previous prestige was enough for her to be willful like this once, and in the end she still managed to suppress these opposing voices.

As for whether it's reliable to entrust Cui Hao with the power to handle state affairs, Ye Bingluan simply said to let Cui Hao and the Imperial Advisor discuss it together.

In essence, Wei Tu was a supervisory figure, like Ye Bingluan's eyes. No one could get involved with Wei Tu. When it came to forming factions, he represented only the emperor. Even if Cui Hao had many factions and deep-seated ambitions, it was all in vain. This was a mountain they could never overcome or surpass.

After all the preparations were complete, Ye Bingluan chose a secluded green mountain outside Chaoge City, where a royal manor left behind by a previous dynasty's emperor stood.

Normally, even passing travelers are forbidden from approaching. This time, Ye Bingluan did not make a big fuss, but only had two pairs of imperial guards and a few maids accompany her.

Wei Tu was naturally among the entourage.

After everyone else had been settled, only the two of them remained in a spacious room filled with the scent of sandalwood in the middle of the large manor.
