Auxiliary Women's Strategy: A Virtuous Wife Helps the King to Rule the World

Su Nan almost instantly denied her absurd idea. Her heart was like a tangled mess, which could not be cut or sorted out. Even she herself could hardly tell whether it was the instinctive fear of the unfathomable power of the Demon God that made her timid about the upcoming meeting, or the irrepressible curiosity and expectation deep in her heart that drove her to desire to unveil the mystery of the Demon God.

The next day, as the first rays of morning sunlight struggled to penetrate the thick darkness, Su Nan, with a trembling heart, followed the familiar yet endlessly mysterious passage, slowly arriving once again at the courtyard. From afar, the tall, solitary figure of the demon god stood motionless on the steps at the gate. His posture was as straight as a pine tree, yet he exuded a deep, deep loneliness and desolation. His gaze was deep and distant, as if traversing endless time and space, gazing intently and persistently into the distance, as if he had been awaiting Su Nan's arrival for an eternity.

"You're here?" The Demon God was the first to break the suffocating silence. Although his voice was calm, it carried a hint of expectation that was difficult to conceal, as if Su Nan's arrival was the only ray of hope in his long wait.

"Yes, Lord Demon." Su Nan's voice was still full of awe and restraint. She saluted respectfully as usual, being careful with every movement, not daring to have even the slightest negligence or slackness.

Su Nan silently followed the Demon God, their footsteps remarkably clear in the silent courtyard. They slowly made their way to the backyard, where the familiar stone table still stood silently. The Demon God calmly sat down, then raised his hand and gently pointed at the stone bench across from him, signaling Su Nan to sit down as well. Su Nan sat down gently, her nerves growing ever more intense, like a taut bowstring ready to snap at any moment.

"Are you from Blue Star?" The demon stared at Su Nan with his sharp, sword-like eyes, as if he wanted to see through her soul. His eyes were deep and sharp, with an irresistible penetrating power.

Su Nan was stunned. In an instant, her mind went blank, as if struck by lightning. She had no idea what this sudden question meant. Countless terrifying thoughts flashed through her mind. Perhaps in the next second, a thrilling life-and-death battle would break out.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. We are from the same hometown, aren't we?" A faint smile suddenly broke out on the face of the demon god. There was a rare hint of kindness and warmth in that smile, as if a spring breeze was blowing across the frozen lake.

"Yes, Lord Demon, but I am not from Kyoto, I am from Dujin City." Su Nan breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone was no longer as nervous and trembling as before.

"So what? This shabby place is only populated by Chinese, right?" The Devil's words were like a hammer, hammering down on Su Nan's heart. Her nose felt sore, and the homesickness she had been suppressing deep in her heart suddenly surged out like a flood. Tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to burst out.

"You have to know that in countless years, I have only met you, a Blue Star person, and you are from China. This surprised and delighted me. It would be perfect if I could have a drink and eat hot pot with you at this time. Unfortunately, I have tried to find that taste, but I can't taste the taste of my hometown after all." The devil's face was full of disappointment and helplessness, and his eyes revealed deep attachment and endless sorrow, like a child lost in the darkness, longing for a ray of warm dawn.

"Is this it?" Under the gaze of the demon god, who was almost open-mouthed with surprise, Su Nan took out Moutai, Wuliangye, copper pots, quick-frozen mutton slices one after another from the system space at a dazzling speed... In the blink of an eye, a wide variety of items filled the entire table, the richness of which was dazzling.

"You really gave me a surprise." The demon was overjoyed, his face blooming with a childlike smile, and his hands were rubbing together with excitement. Without waiting for Su Nan's reaction, he couldn't wait to get started, skillfully opening the mineral water bottle, filling it with water, lighting the fire, and then quickly placing the pot bottom on the stove.

"You carry these things with you? How did you do it?" The demon's face was full of confusion and curiosity, and his expression was as if he was an explorer who had discovered a new world.

"I had a system when I traveled through time, but it could only produce things like this." Su Nan replied helplessly, with a hint of loss in his tone that was hard to conceal.

"Is there any cigarette?" A glimmer of anticipation flashed in the demon's eyes, and that eager look was like a hungry baby waiting for his mother's milk.

"Of course. What brand do you want to smoke?"

"Zhongnanhai, is there one?"

Su Nan smiled and conjured up a Zhongnanhai like a magic trick.

The demon god lit his cigarette almost in one breath, his hands trembling. Then he took a deep, forceful puff and slowly blew out smoke rings, one after another. The smoke rings drifted slowly in the air, as if carrying his long and tortuous memories.

"How many years has it been? Millions of years, and I finally feel this taste again." The devil's eyes became blurred and trance-like. He enjoyed the feeling of this moment immensely. He was deeply immersed in those distant and beautiful memories, unable to extricate himself.

"Lord Demon, we should be from the same period. Why has it only been a few years since I came here, but you have been here for a million years?" Su Nan was full of doubts, his brows tightly furrowed, and the deep wrinkles seemed like scars carved by the years.

"Don't be so devilish, I have a Chinese name, Shangguan Qing."

"Shangguan Qing?" Su Nan stood up suddenly. The suddenness and magnitude of his movement frightened Shangguan Qing so much that he trembled all over. "What are you doing?"

"Do you recognize me?" Su Nan asked, instantly separating from Guo Xin's body without hesitation. In a flash of light, her previously hidden true form was revealed without reservation.

She was taking a gamble. After all, the so-called Shangguan Qing looked slightly different from the Shangguan Qing in her memory. But after her observation just now, she was 50% sure that she was not wrong.

"I have no impression." Shangguan Qing frowned tightly and looked at the strange woman in front of him blankly, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

Su Nan suddenly realized that she had forgotten her appearance had changed. She quickly cast a spell to restore her original appearance. "What about this time?"

Shangguan Qing was shocked, and his whole body seemed to be struck by lightning. He took several steps back, stumbled, and fell to his knees with a thud: "Master, you..."

That’s right, this is exactly the unique experience of one of Su Nan’s souls, and Shangguan Qing happened to be her former apprentice.

"Master...what's wrong with you? Why don't you want me anymore? Why did you seal me here? I..." Shangguan Qing was incoherent, his voice was trembling violently with excitement, and tears were welling up in his eyes.

"Oh! It's hard to explain. You get up first, and we'll talk while we eat." Su Nan sighed helplessly, letting go of his guard and precautions, with a deep sense of helplessness and emotion on his face.

Shangguan Qing heard this and slowly stood up and sat back in his seat. With trembling hands, he poured Su Nan a full glass of wine and began to recount his own experiences, which were full of twists and turns.
