Jiang Qingyi, sitting on the windowsill, lifted her head and looked at Bai Ruxue and Qin Siyao.

Whether it was Qin Siyao or Jiang Qingyi, neither of them had ever thought to hide their aura.

After all, against someone at Bai Ruxue’s level, no matter how you hid it, it was useless.

Jiang Qingyi’s small feet in embroidered shoes extended down from the windowsill, stepped onto the floorboards, and she walked toward Bai Ruxue and the other woman.

“Sect Master Jiang, please sit.”

Bai Ruxue invited Jiang Qingyi to take a seat with perfect composure and poured her a cup of tea.

Three breathtakingly beautiful women sat around the table in the room. If you connected the three of them as points, it was as though they formed a triangular standoff.

Xiao Mo, meanwhile, was sleeping soundly on the bed, completely unaware of everything happening in the room.

Jiang Qingyi felt that it was honestly amusing.

Including herself, the three of them added up to not even one true name...

“Since everyone’s here, then whatever you have to say, just say it directly.”

Bai Ruxue looked dignified and elegant, like a housewife presiding over the entire situation.

“What the two of you want, what you’re here for, and who it’s for—Ruxue has actually already guessed it.”

“And likewise, what I intend to do—the two of you have already understood it after investigating for this long.”

“If I want my husband, the two of you definitely won’t agree.”

“And likewise, if the two of you want my husband, I also won’t agree.”

“But if we really fight it out, then forget this imperial palace—even Zhou, I’m afraid, would become a barren wasteland.”

Bai Ruxue glanced at them and said slowly.

“Since that’s ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) the case, the three of us—shall we set a rule?”

“A rule?” Qin Siyao looked at Bai Ruxue with interest and asked with a smile, “I wonder what kind of rule you want to set, Sister?”

On the other side, Jiang Qingyi also put away a bit of her sharpness and looked at Bai Ruxue with curiosity, wanting to hear what proposal this Lord of the Four Seas actually had.

In truth, Jiang Qingyi also understood that, among the three of them, no one could do anything to anyone.

If they really fought to the death, then just as Bai Ruxue said, Zhou would turn into ruins.

As for what happened to Zhou, Jiang Qingyi did not care. If it was destroyed, so be it—but Xiao Mo cared.

So for now, Jiang Qingyi did not want to take things to that point either.

“This is the contract I drafted. The two of you can take a look.”

Bai Ruxue took out two ordinary sheets of white paper from a storage pouch.

Qin Siyao and Jiang Qingyi looked at the neat, beautiful handwriting on the white paper. Both of them focused their minds, and they could not help sinking into thought.

“After you’ve finished reading, if you think there’s no problem, then sign your names on it and press a handprint as well.”

Bai Ruxue spoke calmly, without haste.

“The three of us are at too high a realm. The contract spell arts that exist in the world have no binding force on us. Since that’s the case, we’ll do it the mortal way instead. I hope the two of you can both consciously abide by it.”

“No problem.” After reading the contract, Qin Siyao’s eyes curved into crescents. “Since that’s the case, then we’ll do as Sister Ruxue says.”

“I also have no problem. I hope the Lord of the Four Seas can abide by it as well!”

Jiang Qingyi looked at the other party coldly.

“However, I want to add one more condition to this contract!”

...

Early the next morning.

Sunlight shone in along the windowsill and fell across the man’s face on the bed.

The man’s brow suddenly furrowed, then gradually smoothed out again.

After sleeping for about five hours, the man felt the sunlight through his eyelids, and his consciousness slowly returned.

Xiao Mo opened his eyes and propped himself up from the bed, leaning against the headboard.

Xiao Mo felt that his head hurt a little.

But he thought that was because he had slept too long.

It had been who-knew-how-long since the last time he had slept so sweetly, so soundly.

“But come to think of it... what exactly happened last night?”

Xiao Mo rubbed his forehead and shook his head, trying to recall what had happened last night.

But all Xiao Mo remembered was that last night he went to Qin Mujiu’s sleeping palace, and then went to Yan Ruxue’s sleeping palace.

When he lifted Yan Ruxue’s red veil, he never expected it would be the woman he had met before.

Then, in that kind of wedding-night atmosphere, he gradually drew close to Yan Ruxue.

And after that, he lost consciousness.

“Si Li...”

Xiao Mo called toward the door.

Very soon, Sili walked in and bowed to Xiao Mo. “Your Majesty...”

“Did something happen last night?” Xiao Mo asked Sili.

“Replying to Your Majesty, this servant girl also doesn’t know what happened.”

Sili spoke with a sincere tone.

“Last night, this servant girl waited outside the door, but for some reason, this servant girl was truly too sleepy and actually fell asleep outside.”

“When this servant girl woke up, I was already asleep in my own room. This servant girl heard from Sister Yang’er this morning that last night she brought this servant girl back to my room, and Your Majesty was also sent back by the palace maids.”

“However, this servant girl heard Consort Xue say that Your Majesty should have been too exhausted last night, and you drank too much wine, so you fell asleep.”

In truth, it was not just Xiao Mo—Sili also wanted to know what happened last night.

When Sili lost consciousness from drowsiness last night, she faintly saw a woman’s figure.

That person wore red wedding finery, with a tall, graceful, curving silhouette.

In the imperial palace, the only ones wearing red wedding finery were Yan Ruxue and Qin Mujiu.

In other words, that powerful pressure came from Qin Mujiu.

And her realm was absolutely not below Sili’s.

In Sili’s view, Qin Mujiu definitely went to snatch a man.

But in the end, nothing happened last night. The master was sent back to the sleeping palace safe and sound—his primal yang even remained.

That meant that even Qin Mujiu had no way to do anything to Yan Ruxue at all.

That Yan Ruxue definitely wasn’t simple either!

So what exactly were these two women the master married?

What were their identities?

On the bed, Xiao Mo frowned, thinking about what Si Li said.

What Si Li said was very reasonable.

He had indeed gone through the wedding process all day yesterday, and he was indeed very tired, and he did drink a lot of wine.

But Xiao Mo always felt something was off.

No matter what, he was a cultivator at the perfected completion of the twelfth layer of the Qi Refining Realm. How could he possibly be tired enough to fall asleep?

Something definitely happened last night.

“I understand. You can go out first.” Xiao Mo waved his hand, feeling there was no use asking her.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Sili nodded and withdrew from the room.

Xiao Mo got out of bed and poured himself a cup of tea.

And right at that moment, a sword wind blew in through the window.

Xiao Mo lifted his head, and Jiang Qingyi was already sitting in front of him.

Even though Xiao Mo couldn’t see the face beneath her veil,

Xiao Mo could still sense it.

Right now, Sect Master Jiang was very displeased.
