The number one spendthrift woman in the capital actually brings glory to her entire family?

"Little Mink, you go down too."

Seeing that Lord Diao was still lying motionless in the chair, Emperor Beizun spoke indifferently again.

'Awooo, awooo—'

The sable snarled a few times in displeasure, its purple eyes flashing with a resentful light, clearly unwilling.

"Unless you want to go back to be with your mother."

The Crown Prince of the Northern Empire looked at Lord Diao with a calm expression. Only then did Lord Diao reluctantly let out a howl, jump off the chair, and retreat outside, looking back every few steps.

'Bah! '

Just as Lord Diao took a few steps, Emperor Beizun raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike. Lord Diao's plump body was instantly blasted away by the palm strike, and the door was slammed shut.

Hearing the commotion outside, Lord Sikong changed his clothes as quickly as possible. He had just put on his inner robe and was busy putting on his outer robe when Emperor Beizun strode in.

"What do you want to do?"

Lord Sikong shrank back, looking at Di Beizun with a wary expression. Seeing his extremely ugly face, he immediately pleaded with a mournful face, "Please don't be like this! It was my fault. I shouldn't have taken advantage of you. Can't you just think of yourself as a cabbage being eaten by a pig? I am that wicked pig. Don't look at me like that. I'm really scared. I was just thinking quickly. Please don't mind me!"

Lord Sikong outwardly appeared to be like that, but inwardly he was stubbornly cursing: Bullshit, didn't you still kiss me back? If it weren't for my next plan, I wouldn't be so shamelessly showing weakness!

Upon hearing Lord Sikong's words, a slightly cold smile appeared on Di Beizun's alluring face, and a strange, unfathomable light flickered in her eyes. Lord Sikong admitted that she couldn't understand her.

"It's clear that you seem quite satisfied with me."

Emperor Beizun suddenly uttered these words in a calm tone.

"What? What's so satisfying? Oh, Your Highness, your martial arts are so high, you're truly a peerless hero. I've always admired people like you. Your Highness, you don't know, but we women all think that the man we like should be a peerless, upright, and imposing hero like Your Highness. Today I finally understand why all the women in Fengyun admire you so much. Look, you're all wet. Go back and wash up, or you'll catch a cold. Here, forget about Contac, even DayQuil and NightQuil are..."

With a simple, innocent smile on her delicate face, Sikong Jin began to try to deceive him.

"Shut up!"

Before she could finish her rambling monologue, Di Beizun frowned and shouted a low stern rebuke, stopping her.

Lord Sikong was taken aback, quickly covered his mouth with his hand, shrugged, and looked at Emperor Beizun with a simple smile.

"If you give me that fake smile again, I will make you wear that expression forever."

Di Beizun glanced at her irritably and silently sat down on the edge of the bed.

"You are truly wicked."

Lord Sikong sighed helplessly, his smile fading as he slowly walked over and sat down opposite him. He picked up two cups, poured tea, handed one to him, and then gulped it down in a few unceremonious gulps.

"Let's put this behind us. Anyway, I didn't gain anything. That was my first kiss. You actually benefited. I saved us from such a big trouble by thinking quickly. You have no reason to blame me."

Lord Sikong lifted his legs, sat cross-legged, and pointed to two black cloth bags not far away, "These are our spoils of war. You can take your share later."

Emperor Beizun didn't even glance at the so-called spoils of war. Instead, he looked at Lord Sikong with a distant and unfathomable gaze. After a long silence, he suddenly spoke, "Sikong Jin."

"Ok?"

Sikong Jin was leisurely sipping her tea when she heard him call her name. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced over and saw his calm and indifferent expression. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and ask, "What's wrong?"

Why did you run away just now?

Di Beizun looked at her, his eyes as calm as a silent ocean, filled with countless black vortexes.

"Um……"

Lady Sikong was taken aback, a faint glint appearing in her eyes. After a while, she smiled and said, "Of course I'm afraid you'll beat me up. I can't beat you, and I've always heard that you're not someone a woman can rely on. I've also heard some rumors about you in your Great Zhou Crown Prince's residence."

"Any rumors about the women who tried to enter the Crown Prince's residence?"

Emperor Beizun seemed to remember something, lowered his head to take a sip of tea, and asked in a low voice.

Sikong Jin did not answer, but simply raised her eyes and gave him a rather strange look.

"It's just a solution I came up with because I didn't want too much trouble."

For the first time, Di Beizun actually explained his reasons to someone. His usual coldness was gone, replaced by calmness and a gentle warmth. His distant gaze suddenly fell on the phoenix jade pendant around Sikong Jin's neck. His slender fingers gently pinched the teacup in his hand. Under Sikong Jin's puzzled look, he suddenly sighed, as if making a decision, and quietly whispered, "A-Jin, are you willing to return to the Great Zhou with me?"

As he said this, his deep, ocean-like gaze slowly moved upwards, settling on Sikong Jin's exquisite and beautiful face, quietly watching her.

Sikong Jin, who was drinking tea with her head down, suddenly paused. She looked up in surprise, and her fair face was strangely flushed with a faint blush. For a moment, she felt that she had nowhere to escape from his gaze.

After a long silence, Sikong Jin suddenly took a light breath, gently shook her head, and replied, "No."

Di Beizun's gaze froze for a moment, but his expression remained unchanged. He calmly asked, "Why? As long as you return to the Great Zhou with me, you can command hundreds of thousands of troops on the western border, and you will still be... the supreme woman of the world..."

Sikong Jin paused, a faint joy welling up in her chest, yet her eyes remained unusually bright and clear. She gave a bitter smile before replying softly, "Because Sikong Jin is a man, and always has been. She not only needs to protect her parents, her brothers, and her woman, but also the greater good. Although she doesn't understand grand principles, there are some responsibilities she cannot shirk, and she would never become a burden to others."

Upon hearing her reply, Di Beizun's hands tightened slightly, his deep, silent eyes suddenly becoming very complicated, and some irresistible emotions welled up in his heart.
