One person established a clan

Chapter 475 Karma
The Five Wilderness Regions, the Eastern Morning Imperial City.

When Dugu Yue stepped onto this land again and looked at the bustling and prosperous scene, she couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Just one day apart, the feelings were completely different.

From this day forward, her identity has been completely changed. She is no longer merely a domain lord of the Dark Realm, but...
"How does it feel?"

Su Cheng patted her hair: "Standing on the city wall, you can get a panoramic view of the entire city."

Dugu Yue turned around and looked at her, a clear smile playing on her lips. "As long as I'm with this extraordinary person, I'll love going anywhere."

Su Cheng was slightly taken aback, his heart rippling as if gently touched by a slender finger.

Before he could react, Dugu Yue smiled sweetly, took his arm tightly, and snuggled close to him affectionately.

"Thank you for treating me well, you extraordinary person!"

"You."

Su Cheng shook his head and chuckled. Just as he was about to turn around and say something more, he found that Leng Ning and Eleven had already disappeared.

"What are they doing?"

"They've already returned to the palace."

Tian Qing stood quietly to the side, her fairy dress fluttering in the wind, her expression indifferent: "They said that you should spend some time with this girl, and they can handle the rest of the trivial matters."

Su Cheng felt a warmth in his heart.

Although Shiyi complained, she was genuinely gentle and caring in every way.

The condenser is as thoughtful as ever.
"Alright, let's go down and take a look."

Su Cheng took Tian Qing's soft hand in his and said, "Enjoy the hustle and bustle of human life a little longer."

A mysterious light flickered in Tianqing's eyes, and a hint of gentleness appeared on his usually cold and aloof face.

Even now, she still cannot fully understand the complex emotions of humans.

However, as she spent more time with Su Cheng, she could feel her chest growing warmer and warmer, and even just holding his hand was enough to make her heart tremble.

The Spirit of Heaven and Earth
Now, perhaps they are all tinged with emotion.

This innocent and sincere heart belonged only to him.
Deep within the palace—

After listening to General Hei's explanation, Shi Xuan couldn't help but cross his arms and sigh softly, "So that's how it is. No wonder he hasn't come home all day. I thought he had taken you all out to cause trouble again."

"His Majesty is currently touring the Imperial City with Xiaoyue and Tianqing. The Eleventh Consort is worried about them, so she is secretly accompanying them to protect them."

General Hei said softly, "Gentlemen, there is no need to worry. I believe His Majesty will return before nightfall."

"Given your personality, it's hard to say."

Shi Xuan made a joke, a slight smile on his face, but he wasn't angry.

Having spent so much time together, she no longer felt jealous about it; instead, she was more concerned about whether Su Cheng could take good care of the two of them.

"but."

Her gaze shifted, and she looked at Leng Ning with a smile: "Now you don't call Miss Yue 'Your Majesty' anymore, you just call her Little Yue?"

General Hei's face flushed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "This humble general is now ordered to serve only His Majesty, and as for Xiaoyue..."

"Alright, alright, I was just teasing you." Shi Xuan chuckled and affectionately took her slender hand: "Since everything went smoothly for you this time, why don't you come with us to cultivate properly again?"

"The other concubines now..."

“Apart from Feng Meizi and the others who are busy with important matters, they are basically all in the realm created by Mingtian.”

Shi Xuan lightly flicked his fingers, casually opening a passage to the cultivation grounds.

General Hei hesitated, but she noticed him out of the corner of her eye and asked curiously, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

"It's His Majesty."

"Okay, no need to say more."

Shi Xuan blushed inexplicably, turned his head to the side and muttered in a low voice, "When he does such bad things, I naturally have a feeling about it."

Unconsciously, she gently brushed her hand over her soft belly wrapped in the fairy gauze, and the lingering warmth made her whole body tremble slightly.

General Hei paused for a moment, then quickly exclaimed, "Empress Xuan is truly gentle and kind, and she also understands how to be considerate of His Majesty."

"Ahem! Don't say such embarrassing things."

Shi Xuan pulled her and hurriedly ran into the passage, saying with a mix of embarrassment and annoyance, "When that rascal comes back tonight, I'm going to give him a good scolding!"

General Hei couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.

The affection between His Majesty and the Empress is truly enviable.
"This is truly delicious!"

"And this is something I've never seen before in the Dark Domain!"

"Is this what women in the mortal world wear? It's so beautiful!"

The air was filled with cheerful, crisp laughter.

Dugu Yue, like a young girl just beginning to experience love, strolled freely along the bustling street.

Su Cheng accompanied her, chatting and laughing all the way, and bought her all the snacks and toys she liked.

Although they are all ordinary items, each one carries her joy, so there is no need to be stingy with them.

"Tianqing, is there anything you want?"

Su Cheng looked down at the holy figure leaning against him. "These are all mortal items, very cheap."

Tianqing quietly held his arm, always staying close by, like a dignified and virtuous elegant lady.

She simply shook her head gently: "I have no desires. You just need to focus on satisfying her."

Su Cheng couldn't help but smile: "You seem to have changed a bit since you came back."

Tian Qing blinked her dark eyes slightly: "Perhaps."

As she spoke, she hugged the arm in her arms even tighter.

Seeing her current adorable and affectionate appearance, Su Cheng chuckled twice and stopped teasing her.

"A remarkable person!"

Dugu Yue floated back gracefully, smiling as she took his other arm: "There seems to be a fairly large cloth shop up ahead, shall we go take a look?"

"Great, this is perfect for getting you some new clothes."

The three of them moved through the long street like a gentle breeze, without attracting the attention of passersby.

Once inside the fabric shop, I selected several beautifully designed ready-to-wear garments.
"Shopkeeper, please settle the bill."

"Ok?"

The young noblewoman, who was doing her accounts, was startled by the sound and quickly looked up to meet Su Cheng's gaze.

"You are..." Her expression hesitated slightly, but her eyes rippled, and her heart trembled violently.

I wonder which great clan this cultivator general is, that he is so handsome and imposing.

Despite his imposing stature, he didn't appear fierce or intimidating at all; instead, he exuded a gentle and welcoming aura.
In a flash of thought, her eyes widened suddenly: "Your Highness!?"

"No need to speak so loudly."

Su Chengshun pointed to two beautiful figures not far away. "Take stock of the clothes they just picked out, and I'll pay for them."

"This is absolutely not allowed!"

The noblewoman hurriedly rose and bowed, saying, "It is truly an honor for us that Your Highness has graced our place with your presence. How could we possibly accept your money?"

"Okay, no need to be so formal."

Su Cheng helped her up casually: "We're just taking a casual stroll outside the palace, there's no need for such a grand display."

Besides, you are all Sha'er's people, so how could I come here to take advantage of you?

"This"

The noblewoman hesitated for a moment, but finally answered "Yes," and quickly gave a wink to the female guards not far away, signaling them to go and treat them well.

"Your Highness, there should be many more exquisite garments in the palace; what I have here are only coarse fabrics."

"It's alright," Su Cheng chuckled. "As long as they like it."

The noblewoman was taken aback by these words and couldn't help but look again at the two graceful figures in the distance. She was wondering who these distinguished guests were, but after seeing their profiles clearly, she was stunned for a moment and secretly marveled.

No wonder His Highness favors her so much; she possesses such stunning beauty that few in this world could rival her.

Perhaps, only the master can do that.
"Does your 'Shading Studio' only sell clothes?"

Hearing Su Cheng's curious question, the noblewoman quickly came to her senses and shook her head with a smile: "Your Highness misunderstands. Although we mainly run a cloth shop, we also sell jewelry and rouge upstairs, which are very popular among the noble ladies of various ethnic groups in the city."

"Okay, take us upstairs for a look around later."

"Should I go and clear the area?"

"No need."

Su Cheng waved his hand: "No one else can see us."

The noblewoman looked surprised and looked around quickly, only to find that none of the young women in the building had noticed them, and even the two stunning beauties seemed as elusive as phantoms.
"Your Highness's skills are truly remarkable."

"You don't need to flatter me."

“Every word I said was from the bottom of my heart.”

The lady greeted him warmly with a friendly smile.

After chatting and laughing for a while, the group went up to the top floor, where a dazzling array of jewels, ornaments, and cosmetics came into view.

On the shopkeeper's personal recommendation, Dugu Yue and Tian Qing also selected a few items to try on in the room.

Su Cheng waited quietly outside the pavilion, looking with great interest at the noblewoman standing to the side.

Where did we meet before?

Unlike the awe-inspiring gazes of the other female security guards at the brothel, this young and elegant lady spoke softly and gently the whole way, her eyes gentle, as if the two had known each other for a long time.
"Your Highness is too kind. I am of humble status and would never dare to claim any relationship with you."

The noblewoman gently smoothed her hair and said with a soft smile, "It was only because you stepped in to save His Majesty from danger that I was fortunate enough to survive, and I was also fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of you from afar."

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng's mind stirred, and he quickly recalled his first meeting with Sha'er.

At that time, several of Sha'er's personal female guards were indeed lost in the secret realm, their fate unknown. It was only afterward that people were sent to retrieve them.

I remember Sha'er specifically mentioned that they were fortunate to have survived and were all recuperating.
"I will never forget my savior."

Meeting the gentle gaze of the noblewoman, Su Cheng smiled and said, "You flatter me. I was just doing it on a whim."

At this point, he asked with a hint of curiosity, "However, you used to be Sha'er's personal bodyguard, so how come you're now the manager of Sha Ying Lou?"

"This is also His Majesty's deliberate consideration."

The noblewoman smiled gently: "His Majesty, mindful of our recent recovery from serious injuries, could not bear to see us continue to toil and labor, which is why he entrusted us with this wonderful task."

"To be honest, Your Highness, since His Majesty ascended the throne, the status of our Shading Pavilion has risen dramatically. No one, inside or outside Dongchen, dares to offend us, especially the Shading Pavilion within the imperial city, where it enjoys absolute security."

Su Cheng nodded in understanding.

Karen was indeed kind-hearted; even after becoming the empress who ruled the world, she did not forget to properly settle her former subordinates.

"So you'll be working at the Shayinglou from now on?"

"His Majesty said that it is entirely up to us to choose."

The noblewoman said softly, "If you wish, you can return to the palace next spring to serve His Majesty."

Su Cheng smiled and nodded: "That's not bad."

The noblewoman looked at him with admiration, a hint of envy in her eyes.

"Your Highness, why don't you go in and take a look for yourself?"

"Ok?"

"This is the Phoenix Pavilion. It was originally built solely for Her Majesty and will not receive other people."

The noblewoman smiled gently: "Since the status of Sha Ying Lou has been elevated, we have also invited experts to rebuild it. There are many powerful little secret realms in it, and no matter what happens, it will not be known to the outside world."

Su Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle.

"Could this be Sha'er's idea?"

"Yes, His Majesty wishes to speak with you." The noblewoman covered her lips slightly, her face flushed.

Su Cheng waved his hand and said with a smile, "Alright, I'll go in and take a look. You all go back and get busy."

"Your Highness, we..."

Before the noblewoman could finish speaking, Su Cheng transformed into a streak of light and flashed into the pavilion, causing her to silently shut her mouth.

She gazed at the tightly closed door, her eyes sparkling, and a faint smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

"Sister Qiu".

Two maids who had been standing at a distance quietly approached, asking with slight curiosity, "Was that young master just now really...?"

Don't gossip.

The noblewoman quickly glared at them: "His Highness may be gentle, but he is not someone we servants should discuss."

"Oh." The two maids quickly covered their mouths and blinked repeatedly.

The noblewoman's expression softened slightly, and she said softly, "You all stay here patiently. If His Highness needs anything, immediately let me know via telepathy."

"Sister Qiu, where are you going?"

"I'm going to retrieve some treasures."

The noblewoman smiled gently: "Although I do not know the identities of the two young ladies accompanying His Highness, I imagine they must be women His Highness favors. I must give those two ladies a proper gift."

Seeing her turn and leave in a hurry, the two maids were stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at each other.

They had been living in the Gauze Shadow Pavilion in the Imperial City for over a year after being transferred from the Secret Pavilion, and this was the first time they had seen this gentle and noble Sister Qiu. Her face was full of sweet smiles.

Her beautiful eyes shone with such tender affection, as if she had seen a long-lost lover.
"Seeing how moved Sister Qiu is, perhaps next spring she will take the initiative to return to the palace."

"Yeah, I guess so."

They all turned to look at the door, their eyes filled with curiosity.

What is that prince doing inside with those two mysterious girls?
Amidst the rustling sounds, the two had already put on two sets of tasseled dresses, one black and one white.

Dugu Yue, with a smile on her face, twirled back and forth in front of the bronze mirror, admiring her exquisite, jade-like appearance. Her smile became even sweeter and more captivating.

Tianqing gently stroked her long hair across her chest, her expression remaining calm.

A fleeting glimpse of the exquisite jade ring on her finger caused a ripple to cross her eyes, softening her already pristine face.

Even though she had no interest in these mundane things, the gifts that Su Cheng had carefully selected still touched her somewhat.

"Alright, let's go out and let this extraordinary person see for themselves!"

Hearing Dugu Yue's gentle call, Tian Qing immediately nodded in response: "Okay."

Just as the two women were about to turn and leave, they suddenly saw Su Cheng lift the layers of curtains and walk in.

"An extraordinary person?"

Dugu Yue blinked in surprise, then quickly smiled sweetly and stepped forward to link arms with him. "Look at us now, do you like it?"

Su Cheng looked them over and couldn't help but exclaim, "They are indeed very beautiful."

Even though they were just ordinary fabrics, the two women now wore them with completely different and captivating charms.

A woman, alluring and bewitching, was like a dark lotus swaying quietly in the night, seemingly about to bloom, her captivating fragrance subtly spreading.

A woman, pure and innocent, with a voluptuous and graceful figure, accentuated the curves of her dress, adding to her elegant and noble charm.

"enough."

Tianqing walked over lightly and said softly, "We've been enjoying ourselves for quite a while now; you don't need to stay with us any longer."

"It is indeed getting dark."

Su Cheng glanced out the window, then turned his gaze back with interest. Suddenly, he stretched out his arms and grabbed them, lifting them off the ground.

"So, we'll stay here a little longer."

"Wait, wait a minute, why is it... um... um again now?"
