Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

Ever since Xiang Yunchi and Ruan Chuyin left, the King of Zhenbei and his wife have focused their attention on their eight grandchildren.

Only his father, Yue Wuyu, knew Yue Yixing's worries, but he remained silent, forcing himself to fight for them. Every time he saw his beloved, he became uncomfortable, and how could he even have the courage to chat? Now that she was gone, he felt even more lost, and no longer had the desire to stay in Yangcheng.

The third child, Gou Munan, had been having a wonderful time these past few days. Wherever he went, he'd occasionally run into the "bold" girl in the green lotus embroidered skirt. Whenever their eyes met, she'd smile at him, and her smile was so infectious that it softened the lines of her face.

The little girl didn't go up to talk to him, but she kept catching his eye once, twice, and three times. Now, even when he went to bed at night, her bright smiling face would suddenly appear in his mind, and he couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts.

Bai Jinmo, who once broke the alliance, left a huge psychological shadow on Gou Munan, causing him to have a deep fear of women for a long time. But this woman in the green lotus embroidered skirt seemed very different, and he didn't feel any fear at all.

Now whenever he goes out, he will keep an eye out for the girl. If he doesn't run into her, he will feel empty inside.

The fourth child, Kong Huiyin, and his wife, Lu Yuhe, had the best life of the group. From the moment they opened their eyes every day, they were preoccupied with where to eat and where to go. The Zhenbei Wang and his wife couldn't stand it anymore and began urging them to hurry up and have a baby. The frightened couple immediately returned to the Zhendao Sect.

Sixth Elder Shen Tingxue's daily drunken streak finally alarmed Xiang Ge and Tong Yuqing. The two elders were stunned at first, then immediately arranged for him to meet a prominent lady from Yangcheng. Upon hearing this, Shen Tingxue's mind sobered up, and he returned to Bafang Town without looking back.

The seventh brother, Lu Huaisi, was still trying to make money from the Forgotten Western Sect. Whether it was because he was too handsome or his divination was too accurate, the female disciples from the Twelve Peaks lined up daily to ask him for divination, many of whom queued up repeatedly, trying various methods to get close to him.

When you make a lot of money, you will naturally be reluctant to leave, and the return date is far away.

The eighth brother, Wu Zhifan, and the ninth brother, Wu Shaoyu, had different personalities, but they were the two most considerate. They met all the girls the King of Zhenbei had arranged for them to meet, but none of them led to anything. He just didn't like them.

Helpless, I could only let them go.

After Ruan Chuyin returned to Dayong, she immediately went back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion with Qin Guanzhi.

Qin Lang and Ye Sanning finally got their daughter back. They chatted with her for a long time, dumbfounded by her experience. Especially when they talked about the two-headed python, both of them looked bewildered. Even though it was hard to believe, they could only slowly digest it.

"So the Lord of the Ghost Realm is also your husband now?" Ye Sanning asked again in disbelief.

Ruan Chuyin nodded affirmatively. Although they had not registered yet, this was a set thing and there was no getting around it.

My thoughts started to race. I wondered what that man was doing now? Had he received her message?

Speaking of Meng Huali, after meeting up with the elders, he looked at their miserable appearances and temporarily suppressed his relationship with Ruan Chuyin.

The moment Bai Heng and the others saw the sect leader, the heavy stone in their hearts fell halfway, and they immediately asked about the whereabouts of the territory-suppressing beast.

A group of people searched for the traces of the Tongtian Python day and night, and searched almost all the dense forests except the Fantasy Forest.

It wasn't until Meng Huali went to Ruan Chuyin and received a letter that he realized the Territory Guardian Beast wasn't dead. However, based on her description, he felt it was as good as dead, and his mood became extremely irritable.

Three days later, the Forgotten West Sect's leader, Zuo Fengzhu, and Qi Jianshen returned to Yangcheng with Hao Rong's body. The entire Southern Star Region was immersed in mourning. At night, white eternal lamps slowly rose into the sky, keeping vigil for the only princess.

The Southern Star Emperor, devastated by the loss of his daughter in middle age, vowed to investigate thoroughly. That same day, he dispatched Lord Li, the Minister of Justice, to lead a team to the scene of the incident. Feeling guilty, Wangxi Sect leader Fan Yu asked Master Zuo Feng to take the trouble once more and return with them to handle the matter.

The Nanxing Empress and Crown Prince Hao Zhuchen were so shocked that their eyes turned red, but they dared not say a word. Not long after, Meng Xinghe fell ill, and he was in a trance all day, muttering his daughter's name.

Hao Zhuchen was worried that his mother would reveal the truth one day, so he asked Emperor Nanxing to go with her to Wanfo Temple to pray for his sister.

Hao Rong's death dealt a heavy blow to the Nanxing Imperial Family. Emperor Hao Jixuan of Nanxing nearly fell out with the Wangxi Sect, forcing Sect Leader Fan to take a stand.

Fan Yu had no idea where to begin his investigation. The man was a highly skilled warrior, decisive in his actions, leaving no trace. Even if the Dali Temple Minister stayed there for a year or two, there would be no results. But this matter concerned Wang Xizong's prestige, so he had to find a solution, even if there was no result. This left him with a headache and he didn't know what to do.

Qi Ruyi pretended to be ignorant of the matter throughout, and expressed sincerely that she would get to the bottom of it and give an explanation to Nanxing Kingdom.

King Xiang Ge of Zhenbei also put in a lot of effort on the surface, entering the palace to pretend to greet him, but in his heart he felt relaxed and relieved.

In his opinion, Hao Rong's fate was not surprising at all. She had routinely oppressed the people, abducted men, and, relying on her status as a princess, married one noble son after another as her husband or servant. At least half of them were the carefully nurtured legitimate sons of the major families. Their entry into the princess's mansion had extinguished all hope for the family, and over a decade of hard work had gone to waste. There was more than one person who wanted to kill her!

Now that she is dead, the noble sons in the princess's mansion can finally escape from their misery, but it is absolutely impossible for them to marry another noble lady of equal status. They can only settle for the second best and lower their standards to seek opportunities in remote areas. Maybe there will be a family willing to marry their daughter there for the sake of money.

The death of Princess Nanxing allowed Ruan Chuyin to finally sleep peacefully, but she forgot that she had also provoked a big mountain - the evil sect.

Ever since the ancestor of the Zhendao Sect, Wu Feng, showed his power and taught Yu Dingji and Ying Zhou a lesson, this matter has become the biggest shame for the entire Xie Sect.

The clan leader was kicked to the ground in public. How can they survive in the future?

The old man did not tell them his name, but they knew clearly the name of Wei Shizhang, the head of Qingfeng Pavilion.

The Great Elder, Qi Songhan, was furious and immediately summoned all the elders. The Second Elder, Chen Xianggong, was in seclusion and would need some time. The Third Elder, Huo Qianxun, had been severely injured after his fight with Meng Huali, not from the blows, but from the anger. He had never seen anyone so fast. He fought all night, expending most of his internal energy, but still failed to capture the boy. This time, he had two pieces of fat meat in his mouth, but he didn't eat either one. He was so angry that he didn't sleep well for several nights, even gave up refining his elixir, and searched day and night for the whereabouts of the two men.

According to the Sixth Elder's description of the woman, it finally matched the appearance of the piece of fat he had lost.

It turned out to be the wife of Wei Shizhang, the leader of Qingfeng Pavilion!

The sinister laughter echoed in the air, sharp and piercing, and the speed of sharpening the knife in his hand became faster and faster, as if what was pressing under the knife was not the whetstone, but the pieces of mouth-watering tender skin and meat.

Ruan Chuyin and the others were unaware of the impending danger. Wei Shizhang had recently been enjoying a carefree and comfortable life in Dayong, dining at Mingyue Tower for all three meals a day. The flavors and dishes there were far richer than those at Zuixian Tower in Licheng. Even if he ordered a different dish every day, he could still eat there for a whole year.

Because Wei Jiusi was in seclusion in the building, everyone in Yueying Pavilion returned to Qinyuan, and the restaurant was run by the chief steward Zhao from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and the housekeeper Chen Youling from the Prince's Mansion.

When Chen Youling saw the Crown Princess return, she immediately notified His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Jiang Wenzhou had been fighting fiercely with the Queen recently, and the court was in turmoil. He had also suppressed several mutinies in the opposition.

Jiang Xuanzhou had no intention of taking the throne and stayed by Emperor Yong's side every day, fearing that his mother would suddenly take action.

Although Li Chanjuan hated Jiang Chenfeng, she was not as cruel as her son and wanted to kill the emperor.

He simply didn't want the dragon to recover, so he had the inner garden envoys replace half of the peonies planted outside the Emperor's bedroom with a similarly poisonous flower called "Wu Gou." This flower blooms at night and emits a very light fragrance. Inhaling too much can cause confusion and long-term drowsiness.

Li Chanjuan knew that Jiang Xuanzhou had little chance of winning the throne, but she just wanted to make things difficult for Jiang Wenzhou.

She sacrificed her love and her youth, but in the end her son still couldn't sit on the throne, and her mentality became more and more distorted.

It was not until one night when a "familiar stranger" suddenly appeared in her bedroom that she felt the long-lost feeling of suffocation and fear.

"Tuoling? Are you He Tuoling?" Li Chanjuan never thought that she would see him again in her life. She stood there motionless like a stone statue.

He Tuoling looked at his wife with mixed feelings. More than 20 years had passed, and she was still as charming as before, but there was a strangeness in her eyes, and the love she had felt when she clung to him like a little bird in the mountains was completely gone.

"Hmph, you still remember me! Is the throne of Queen Dayong comfortable? And what about that pretty boy? Didn't you run after him without looking back?"

Li Chanjuan was so shocked that she forgot to react and watched him walk towards her step by step.

Scenes from the past jumped into her mind. If he hadn't appeared today, she would have forgotten that she had such a husband, and he was her legal husband.

Looking closely, he had a head full of silver hair and a face full of wrinkles, looking more haggard than he did more than 20 years ago.

When I met him, he was already an old man, and I was only 28 years old. If I didn't follow my ancestors, would I be left behind to cover myself with cow dung?

Back then, I was being hunted and had nowhere else to turn, so I clung to him. Later, when I had a better option, of course I ran away!

If a person doesn't care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. What's wrong with her?

"Let's not talk about the past. What's your purpose today?" Li Chanjuan took a step back, putting some distance between them. Her voice rose high, and the aura of the Empress of the Great Yong Dynasty, who had held her for years, instantly emanated.

He Tuoling never thought that at this moment Li Chanjuan could still act so condescendingly towards him. Years of resentment and hatred were released in an instant like a flood that had burst a dam. He didn't say a word to her anymore and carried her out of the palace.

His newlywed wife disappeared, ran away 20 years later, and even fathered a son with someone else. There's probably no other person in the world who's been as gullible as him!

Then don't blame him for being cruel! Break her legs, lock her up, and lock her up for the rest of her life!
