"Daming, Erming, you're cheating! We agreed to play hide-and-seek!"
Just when Ye Fei was at a loss for words, Xiao Wu suddenly came to his rescue.
She hopped out of Ye Fei's arms and started darting around in front of the two of them.
It looked like they really were playing hide-and-seek.
It was all topped off by Ye Fei's awkward smile.
"Xiao Xue, look, this..."
And just as Ye Fei was about to explain further.
That mischievous Xiao Wu suddenly wrapped her arms around his waist from behind.
"Hahaha, Erming, I caught you, you silly monkey, your butt's all red!"
Excellent.
Xiao Wu was amusing herself, so happy! But it completely baffled the Xiao Xue beside her.
"She, this…"
So Qian Renxue looked at Ye Fei with a bewildered expression.
The latter shrugged helplessly.
"This is the after-effect of Nana's failed mission last time; she's just a shell now!"
Ye Fei had been extremely panicked upon seeing Xiao Xue.
But Ye Fei didn't expect Xiao Wu to mess up, this was truly a godsend!
"Fine! You can play with this little rabbit with a messed up brain yourself!"
Qian Renxue, who was originally fuming, couldn't run away fast enough after seeing this scene.
"Hmm, Xiao Xue, how did you get here? Did something happen at the Martial Soul Hall?"
Ye Fei had originally thought that Qian Renxue was here on a mission.
But he didn't expect that Xiao Xue was just worried about her boyfriend flirting around.
So she just made up an excuse to come.
"I just wanted to come and see, after all, I lived here before..."
Qian Renxue was telling the truth.
Previously, disguised as Xue Qinghe, she had been lurking in the Heaven Dou Empire for many years.
In the end, it all went down the drain.
This place could be considered Xiao Xue's place of sorrow.
In fact, this time, besides checking if a certain person was behaving,
Xiao Xue also felt a little guilty and wanted to personally place a bouquet of flowers on Xue Qinghe's tombstone.
Due to the Martial Soul Hall's underhanded dealings, Xue Qinghe was buried directly in a mass grave.
This made Xiao Xue feel very uneasy over the years, always feeling that she owed him something.
Was this a saintly heart?
"Heh, why so down? We've already taken control of the entire Heaven Dou Empire!"
Ye Fei hadn't decided who to bring to the banquet yet.
Because according to the previous agreement, Prince Xuexing was going to announce a major event today.
That is, a way to get the Heaven Dou Empire to join Ye Fei's camp.
Of course, that was the official explanation. In reality, the entire Heaven Dou Empire was going to become a vassal of the Martial Soul Hall.
And this Prince would become Ye Fei's yes-man.
Xiao Wu happened to be here today, so he decided to take her along.
It just so happened to fulfill her dream of over a decade.
"What? How did you do it? Isn't Emperor Xueye still alive?"
It was obvious that the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family had imposed a strict information blockade this time.
Even the higher-ups in the Martial Soul Hall hadn't received any news.
"Heh, just come with me, you know Prince Xue Beng, right?"
Seeing Xiao Wu's expression, Ye Fei felt a surge of satisfaction.
Soon, the two of them boarded a luxurious carriage sent by the Heaven Dou Empire.
Following behind them were hundreds of Martial Soul Hall guards, making a very high-profile appearance at the Heaven Dou Empire's palace.
Returning to a familiar place, Xiao Wu, having changed back into her daughter's attire, seemed somewhat dazed.
All the way, she looked at the familiar scenery, her slender fingers constantly touching the flowers and plants on either side.
Once upon a time, these things were Xiao Xue's way of passing the time, a psychological comfort.
She never thought she'd return to this palace, but here she was today.
"Surprised, aren't you! This is the kingdom I've built for you!"
Ye Fei was quite pleased to see the relaxed expression on Xiao Xue's face.
As they walked together, their fingers intertwined naturally.
Xiao Xue even lowered her head slightly, her face flushed.
"Are you really prepared to publicly announce our relationship?"
"Of course. This time, my merit should make the Great Elder relent, right?"
Ye Fei had already thought things through.
If Prince Xuexing was sensible, he'd let him be a carefree emperor.
If this guy harbored ulterior motives, then he'd just control him directly.
Although it would waste a precious spot, it was still worth it compared to the entire Heaven Dou Empire.
Soon, Prince Xuexing personally led his new batch of princes and ministers out to pay their respects to Ye Fei.
Then, a despondent man wearing shackles suddenly shouted towards Xue Qinghe.
"Brother, are you Brother Xue Qinghe?"
This person was none other than the recently deposed Prince Xue Beng.
Losing his military power and the support of the Tang Sect, the Heaven Dou Empire's first heir quickly became a prisoner.
If it weren't for Emperor Xueye's face, he probably would have lost his head long ago.
Royal struggles were always a fight to the death; it was already good that this guy was still alive.
"Shut him up! How dare he be rude to my honored guest!"
With Prince Xuexing's order, a piece of cloth immediately stuffed Xue Beng's mouth.
So, the Prince kept this kid alive to please Ye Fei.
Even if they were to kill him, they would let this important figure from the Martial Soul Hall do it!
"Hehe, you've done well, Your Majesty, the Emperor of Heaven Dou!"
Looking at the fawning Prince Xuexing before him, Ye Fei decided there was no need to waste a spot.
Instead, Xiao Wu beside him showed a trace of concern.
Or perhaps, it was a sense of owing.
"Ye Lang, can I talk to him for a while?"
Sure enough, even though it was a fabricated brotherhood, Xue Beng had still called her "brother" for many years.
Even if it was insincere, there was still some affection, after all.
Ye Fei understood this very well.
Xiao Wu wasn't a hard-hearted woman to begin with; it was just the circumstances.
And her Martial Soul was the Angel, which itself represented the power of holiness and light.
If it weren't for the Martial Soul Hall's series of dark operations, Qian Renxue's fate in the original story shouldn't have been like that!
"No problem, Xiao Xue, you represent the Martial Soul Hall and the Elder Council, so I'll leave this kid's life and death to you!"
Ye Fei was clearly showing leniency.
Only Xiao Xue had this qualification.
After hearing this, a look of relief clearly appeared on Qian Renxue's face.
Although it was only fleeting.
"Let's go! Let's go see Father, oh no, let's go see Emperor Xueye!"
Originally, with the Martial Soul Hall's methods, they could have directly eliminated that old emperor.
Back then, Xue Qinghe could have directly ascended, and there wouldn't have been all those later troubles.
Although the original novel didn't specify the reason, it's clear this reflected Qian Renxue's true feelings.
She wanted to seize the Heaven Dou Empire, but couldn't bring herself to kill Emperor Xueye.
This ultimately led to her failure, and everyone had their reasons.
"Waaah!"
Perhaps sensing a chance of survival, Xue Beng actually started sobbing.
The fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire had fallen so low.
It was truly heartbreaking...
