…
Sun Fuxiang emerged from Yuhua Palace.
To Fan Qiqi, who was waiting outside the hall, he shook his head, “The Divine Monarch is resting, Noble Consort, you may return.”
“Is the Divine Monarch’s health any better?” Fan Qiqi asked with concern.
Sun Fuxiang responded, “That, this old one is not clear about, Noble Consort, please do as you wish.” With that, he headed toward the Management Courtyard.
Fan Qiqi returned to Yunjiao Beauty Pavilion with a sullen expression.
As soon as she entered, she saw Sally coming out of the west-wing room and immediately called out, “Sally!”
Sally replied, “Yes, Noble Consort, I hope you are well.”
“Sally! Where have you been?” Fan Qiqi frowned, “Disappearing without reason, your monthly reward for this month is forfeited, not even half a Lower-grade Divine Crystal for you.”
“Half a month? That’s not right. Didn’t the Noble Consort go to Divine Emperor Guan Lan’s birthday banquet with the Divine Monarch?”
“Right when we were about to enter the Teleportation Array, the Divine Monarch said he no longer needed my company. I didn’t go, but where did you run off to?”
“Eh?” Sally was taken aback, “You didn’t go to Divine King City!? So you don’t know what happened in Divine King City?”
“I didn’t go. Don’t change the subject, where did you go?”
“Well, I saw you and the Divine Monarch leave and didn’t have anything to do, so I just went out for a stroll to broaden my horizons.”
“Did you find anything good then?”
“I went to the gambling house.”
“The gambling house? Are you mad? With your unlucky and foolish face, you were bound to lose everything.”
“You are right, Noble Consort, as wise as they come. Indeed, I lost everything down to my clothes.”
“What a waste of a woman! Such a pity for all the fine things the Divine Monarch has bestowed upon you. And what’s this about Divine King City?”
“Oh, I heard it from people at the gambling house. On the day of Divine King Guan Lan’s birthday, the sky was filled with ominous blood-red clouds, and even the daylight turned red; no one knew what happened.”
“Nonsense, how could any anomaly arise in the great Divine King City, protected by its grand defensive spell? Unless…”
“Unless what?”
“An Evil Divine Beast from the Asura Realm is causing trouble!”
“There’s a seal on the Asura Realm; those Evil Divine Beasts can’t come out, right?”
“No, they can. At least one of them can get out.”
“Has the Noble Consort seen it?”
“Yes, back then, I had already fled from within the Asura Realm with my senior brother, when a humanoid Evil Divine Beast wearing a mask blocked our way and fiercely beat us back. Had my brother not sacrificed himself to protect my Divine Soul at the end, I might have perished entirely.”
“Who is the Noble Consort’s senior brother?” A Divine Envoy capable of entering the Asura Realm had to have an extraordinary status.
“The direct disciple of Divine Emperor Haotian,” Fan Qiqi replied with a proud look. However, now her face, reconstructed through Divine Arts, would hurt if she showed too much expression.
Seeing her face expressing both pride and discomfort, Sally found it amusing. She pretended not to notice and asked, “So, are you a direct disciple too?”
“Me? No, I’m not.” Fan Qiqi’s expression turned melancholic, “My mother and my senior brother’s mother were from the same sect. With my brother’s protection, everyone envied me. Now, I’m like an abandoned stray dog on the streets… and they even blame me, saying I caused my brother’s death.”
Sally fell silent.
She was certain that the person who had stopped them was Welly.
But why had Welly allowed her Divine Soul to return to the Divine Realm instead of keeping it, when he could have? Why?
Moreover, Divine Emperor Haotian, upon learning of the death of his direct disciple, had not taken any further action. Could it be that he just accepted the loss of a direct disciple?
The more Sally thought, the further her mind wandered, not even noticing that Fan Qiqi had resumed the appearance of her sister, Fan Caicai.
With malice in her eye, Fan Qiqi said, “Come here, Little Sally, let me adjust your appearance.”
Sally looked at her face and her lips twitched slightly, “Aren’t you going to attend to the Divine Monarch?”
“The Divine Monarch seems unwell and isn’t seeing anyone. Thanks to you, I now have a reputation in the Divine Lord Residence—I’ve ‘broken’ the Divine Monarch’s abstinence, and everyone is looking forward to it.”
“…I haven’t done anything of the sort,” Sally denied, “And further, there’s no need for the Noble Consort’s assistance; I’ve also learned a Spell for changing one’s appearance while outside. Take a look and see if I did this right.”
[Xiaomei?]
[Yes, Host.]
Quickly, Sally’s facial features changed again, becoming the face of Fan Qiqi, and even more charismatic and charming.
Fan Qiqi, looking at ‘her’ face, grew to hate Fan Caicai’s ugliness the more she stared, “Fine, from now on you can go to Yuhua Palace instead, give birth to the divine child soon, and you’ll be able to retire successfully.”
“Hehe,” Sally chuckled, “I’m tired, I’m going back to my room to sleep.”
Before she could even enter her room, Sun Fuxiang hurried over, “Noble Consort, the Divine Monarch summons you.”
Sally looked at Fan Qiqi, her gaze signaling…hurry and go.
Fan Qiqi was about to leave, but upon seeing Sally’s face, said, “Noble Consort, the Divine Monarch summons you!”
She put extra emphasis on the word ‘you’.
Suddenly understanding, Sally raised her hand to touch her face, “That’s right Xiaomei, clean up my room well, I don’t want to see another layer of dust on the table.”
Having said that, and without another glance at Fan Qiqi’s displeased expression, she turned and left.
Sun Fuxiang led the way ahead.
After walking a distance, he looked back at Sally.
Sally asked with a smile, “Uncle Xiang, what is it?”
“Ai~ It’s been quite some time since you called me Uncle Xiang,” he lamented.
“…” Had Fan Qiqi truly neglected to call Sun Fuxiang ‘Uncle Xiang,’ or was it intentional, leaving a mistake uncorrected?
“It was thoughtless of me, please forgive me, Uncle Xiang.”
“It’s nothing, it’s nothing. The Divine Monarch is feeling a bit under the weather; take care in your service and don’t irritate him.”
“All right.”
Sally entered Yuhua Palace.
Tianhua Hall was Divine Monarch You Hao’s study, filled with scrolls and ancient books that emitted an old aura.
Beyond that, a faint scent of blood lingered in the hall.
“Come in!” The faintly angry voice of Divine Monarch You Hao sounded.
Sally paused for a moment before entering the inner chamber of the study.
You Hao was sitting before the desk, his pitch-black eyes staring intently at her face for a moment before he let out a sigh of relief, “Where have you been?”
There was even a hint of a grievance in his voice…of course, Sally firmly believed she must have misheard, as Fan Qiqi had been in the rear court all along.
“I didn’t go anywhere,” Sally replied.
“Change your face back!” You Hao suddenly barked.
This dog’s temper…
Sally had no choice but to revert to herself, “Countess Qianyu, do you have any orders?”
You Hao: “…Don’t call out nonsense.”
He didn’t seem angry anymore.
After Sally changed back, she relaxed her mannerisms, walked over to his desk, and took a peach that exuded a rich aroma from the fruit platter.
She took a bite…it was as sweet as honey!

“This is delicious,” Sally praised.
Watching her face full of pleasure, You Hao’s mood also significantly improved.
“You can’t just eat for free.”
“Hmm?”
“Tell me, where have you been these days?”
“Why does everyone keep asking me where I went.” Sally took out a comfortable recliner from the System Space while eating the peach, and replied, “Just strolled around here and there.”
“Why didn’t you go with me?” As he spoke, You Hao’s brows slightly furrowed, and a flash of relief passed through the depths of his eyes.
Sally didn’t answer, and only after finishing the peach did she say, “I’m tired, may I sleep here for a while? The lord at Yunjiao Beauty Pavilion is quite difficult to serve.”
Seeing the faint dark circles under her eyes, You Hao understood she hadn’t rested well, “As you wish.”
