"This ti, what he did really left speechless and angry. What I care about isn’t his face, but ours."
"Sheng’er..." his eyes were bloodshot, "I realize now that I never really understood you, even though we’ve been married for a few years."
Nan Yuesheng’s eyes were full of inquiry, "Why are you saying this?"
"I don’t like the current you." Xu Mohan, perhaps letting the truth slip under the influence of alcohol, finally spoke the words he had been suppressing, "So of your decisions repel ... to the extre."
Nan Yuesheng felt as if she had been doused with a bucket of ice water, staring at him dumbfounded, "I also have my stance and considerations, which might be different from what you think, but I’ll change in the future, won’t that do?"
Xu Mohan stood up, "I’m going to sleep for a while."
Nan Yuesheng sat there feeling extrely uncomfortable inside, not knowing exactly where she went wrong.

"Master, look at this." Ah Wun took out a few sheets of letter paper from inside her clothes near her heart.
Jun Li took them from her hand and looked down to read carefully. After finishing, her hands couldn’t stop trembling, "Ah Wun, where did you find this?"
"Today, Jun Xian’an had and two other maids clean the study. I was cautious and flipped through each one, only sweeping a glance due to limited ti, at a speed of just a few seconds per book. When I found a few blank pieces of letter paper tucked in a white-covered book, I thought sothing was amiss and quietly took them. After slightly roasting them over a fla, I discovered that indeed there was an issue."
"What was the na of that white-covered book?"
"Just a very ordinary book of rules and regulations, nothing special."
"Ah Wun, you’ve been undercover for seventy thousand years and finally made a big contribution. No matter what, this letter paper can’t be returned. Whether or not it can be traced back to you, you’re likely to be dealt with. You must not have been found out yet; go back imdiately to pack your things, leave evidence that you’re from the Demon World, and then go to the Demon World to find Ah Luo. Once the Heavenly World people confirm you are from the Demon World, co to find again."
Ah Wun responded, "Okay, Master. Fortunately, you left early today. I’ve heard from subordinates that the Empress had prepared a ’special gift’ for you. rely attending would an falling into the trap. Because you left early, the Empress was furious. It’s clear she is displeased with your awakening this ti, and she didn’t even bother to hide it in front of us."
"I had guessed that." Jun Li took out a small bottle as delicate as jade porcelain from her sleeve pocket and handed it to her, "Ah Wun, take this."
Ah Wun accepted it, vaguely guessing its purpose, "Master, what is this?"
"The Ice Cicada Cup, for Jun Xian’an."
Ah Wun displayed a look of shock, not expecting that she would hand this to her. There was only one Ice Cicada Cup, nurtured by Jun Li’s blood for fifty thousand years, eternally dormant. Now Jun Li finally decided to use it.
The awakened Ice Cicada Cup obeys only Jun Li’s orders.
Ah Wun just needs to place it near the intended target, and it will find its way into the target’s bloodstream on its own; she need not worry about anything else. She understood this very well.
Having followed Jun Li for eighty thousand years, Ah Wun had always ticulously followed Jun Li’s arrangents, hiding cautiously by Dai Ji, Jun Xian’an’s side, taking years to work up to the position of cleaning rooms and sorting clothes.
