A concubine? You're more like a joke. I'd rather send you to your death.

"Yes, the space was a gift from Tu Shanyuan."

Bai Luoluo replied that the spatial ring was originally a transaction, but now the two are good friends.

"As expected of the Fox King, he casually gives away such a treasure."

Jiao Wushang was somewhat envious of Bai Luoluo, because without cultivating for ten thousand years, one simply could not refine a spatial dimension.

It seems that Tu Shanyuan values ​​Bai Luoluo highly.

"he's good."

Bai Luoluo echoed.

He wasn't that generous. If she hadn't insisted on coming, Tu Shanyuan wouldn't have given her a ride.

"Dong dong."

The waiter brought in the food.

Looking at the delicious dishes on the table, Bai Luoluo suddenly felt a little hungry.

"All dishes are served, sir. Please call for a waiter if you need anything."

The waiter had a fawning expression, a stark contrast to when he entered.

"We're from out of town. Could you tell us if anything major has happened in the capital recently? If you answer well, this silver is yours."

Bai Luoluo took out some loose silver and placed it on the table.

The waiter's eyes lit up immediately. "The capital has been quite unsafe lately. The two sons of the Wolf King have disappeared without a trace. We've sent people to search the capital extensively, but unfortunately, we've found nothing."

"Besides these, is there anything else?"

My two sons have disappeared together. Could it be the work of that monster?

Bai Luoluo's inner thoughts.

"It is said that the Emperor has not held court for several days. A few days ago, he held a large-scale selection of candidates. Any peasant girl of the right age could participate. Moreover, I heard from people in the palace that the Emperor kept all the candidates selected for official positions. That's all I know."

The waiter spoke very softly, as if afraid of being overheard.

"This money is yours."

Bai Luoluo said calmly.

"Thank you, sir. I won't disturb your meal any longer."

The waiter picked up the loose silver and hurried out of the private room.

"Husband, how old is the Emperor? Why is he selecting so many concubines?"

Seeing the waiter leave, Bai Luoluo picked up her chopsticks and asked while eating.

"Bai Liqing is in his forties. I have never heard of him being fond of women, otherwise he would have so few children."

Gu Yanchi was also puzzled by this matter. After all, he had been at the border for so many years and had never heard of the Canglang Emperor being fond of women.

"There's something very wrong with his sudden decision to select actresses like this."

If he wasn't lustful, why did he choose so many women to enter the palace? Could it be...?

Bai Luoluo seemed to understand something, and she couldn't help but look at Jiao Wushang.

Seeing her questioning gaze, Jiao Wushang put down his chopsticks.

"You guessed right. In order to absorb fresh blood, it is most appropriate for the imperial concubines to enter the palace legitimately."

"This... is a bit too outrageous."

The meat in Bai Luoluo's bowl suddenly lost its appeal. She put down her chopsticks, her face full of anger.

These are all living, breathing human lives; how dare the Emperor do this?

"In their quest for immortality, they have become cold-blooded and brutal, devoid of any conscience. We will investigate the situation tonight and eliminate them completely."

Jiao Wushang was not surprised by these things; after all, he had lived for a thousand years and had seen many cruel things.

The cruelty of the demon realm is even more terrifying than this.

He was born into the snake clan, and from birth he had to fend for himself. The snake clan had no concept of blood relatives and even ate each other.

He went through life and death several times, fought his way out, and worked hard to cultivate and transform himself to become who he is today.

It's just a matter of the strong preying on the weak, natural selection.

"Is immortality really a good thing?" Bai Luoluo asked indifferently. "How long you live depends on fate. There are some things you can't escape. Isn't it good to live in accordance with the laws of nature?"

"Many cultivators pursue immortality, but evil arts are absolutely unacceptable, as they will only harm others and oneself in the end."

For Jiao Wushang, who has lived for thousands of years, immortality is naturally good, but harming living beings is not an evil art, but something done by demons.

"You're right. Tonight I also want to see who these demons and monsters are."

Bai Luoluo squinted her eyes.

"My lady, there's no need to worry. The Imperial Advisor is here and will definitely handle these monsters. Let's go see if Baili Han can still be saved."

Seeing her resentful little face, Gu Yanchi comforted her, and didn't forget to hand her a peach blossom pastry.

Seeing the peach blossom pastry offered to her, she opened her mouth and ate it.

"it is good."

After finishing their meal, Bai Luoluo and her two companions left the restaurant and went to a quiet alleyway with few people around.

With a thought, the three of them entered the space.

Jiao Wushang looked at the unfamiliar things without showing any surprise.

After all, different worlds exist in the universe, and each one is different.

"Your world is indeed quite different. I'd like to see it sometime." Jiao Wushang glanced around the living room. "I wonder if the Fox King is here?"

As he spoke, Tu Shanyuan appeared in front of him.

Jiao Wushang looked at him with his deep eyes, feeling a little nervous deep inside, but his expression remained calm.

"Thank you for finding the spirit stones for me. I will definitely thank you properly when I return."

Tu Shanyuan possessed the aura of an emperor, and now that he had absorbed spirit stones, his overall strength had recovered considerably.

Seeing that the two had something to say, Bai Luoluo pulled Gu Yanchi towards the bedroom.

"Husband, please wash up first, then we'll take a nap."

"Why don't you and I bathe together, my wife?"

Gu Yanchi smiled slightly, his radiant expression resembling that of a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

Upon seeing this, Bai Luoluo lowered her eyes and muttered a curse under her breath, calling him a lecher.

"Impossible, go wash up now."

"Please wait a moment, my lady."

Gu Yanchi took his pajamas and went into the bathroom.

Seeing his reaction, Bai Luoluo turned and went into another room, the bathroom.

"It is my honor to meet the Fox King; you need not worry about such a small favor."

Jiao Wushang never expected that the legendary Fox King would be so approachable.

"Sit down and talk." Tu Shanyuan gestured for him to sit down. "I was tricked and sealed here for who knows how long. Now I only need the Dragon Soul Wood to completely break the seal and return."

"Fox King, rest assured, Bai Luoluo and I will go searching as soon as we finish dealing with things here."

"No rush. Even if we obtain the Dragon Soul Wood, it will take me half a year to recover. By then, we can open the barrier of this world together and leave."

Tu Shanyuan and Jiao Wushang share a common goal: to leave this place and return to their homeland.

"What the Fox King said is exactly what I wanted to hear."

This has always been Jiao Wushang's wish.

He had stayed here for too long and missed the feeling of spiritual energy flowing into his body.

After washing up, Gu Yanchi lay down on the big bed, waiting for his wife.

Before long, Bai Luoluo finished washing and dressing, her long, black hair cascading down her back, and walked out wearing a sundress.

Seeing her like this, Gu Yanchi felt his blood boil.

"Let's take a short nap, we need to go to the palace later."

Bai Luoluo didn't notice the wolf-like eyes. She sat on the bed, her whole body locked under the covers.

She and Gu Yanchi are human; how can they compare their spirit and physical strength to non-humans?

Instead of getting a good night's sleep, how will they make a name for themselves in the palace tonight?

But someone didn't think that way; a large hand pulled her into his arms.

"Miss..."

Gu Yanchi murmured.
