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

Inside the heavily guarded Hangu City Commander's Mansion, Xing Fuhua, who had just received a letter from Ji Wuge sent early that morning, could barely contain her excitement and almost jumped up. Before the maid behind her could even finish combing her beautiful hair, she couldn't help but get up and rush out the door.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Where are you going!"

The maid who was bringing in breakfast only saw a small, pale purple figure rush out of the room. Before she could react, she saw Xing Fuhua with her beautiful long hair flowing down her back, holding a letter in one hand and lifting her skirt with the other, running towards the long corridor.

"Hua'er? What brings you in such a hurry? Where are you going?"

At the entrance of the Marshal's Mansion, Xing Qitian had just returned from outside. Seeing Xing Fuhua running out anxiously and without regard for anything else, he couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Father, I need to find Brother Jin. He's at Hangu Pass! Brother Ji has sent a letter!"

Xing Fuhua waved the letter in her hand, as excited as a happy little bird. Ignoring the desolate autumn rain, she rushed out the door and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

As the rapid hoofbeats faded into the distance, Xing Qitian could only shake his head helplessly, a look of doting tenderness appearing in his deep eyes—his precious daughter was deeply in love with Sikong Jin. Seeing them reminded him of himself and his queen back then, and it seemed that they had loved each other just as much.

However, sometimes, having such profound feelings is not a good thing for some people.

Perhaps that could be called a luxury, for him, for example.

Hopefully, children won't end up like him...

However, he seemed to have no time to tell Xing Fuhua that Sikong Jin was supposed to be coming from Hangu Pass soon, with Ji Wuge. Perhaps they would run into each other on the way.

……

Sikong Jin did not expect that she would run into Xing Fuhua, who was rushing over, on the way.

She stared blankly at the stunning woman walking towards her step by step. Just as Ji Wuge had said, she had changed a lot and was no longer that naive and weak little girl.

Her steps suddenly became incredibly heavy, and she couldn't move. Sikong Jin silently looked at the woman who stood in front of her, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a faint crystalline light. She was even more radiant than when she was in the capital. The strength and confidence she exuded were so captivating that even Sikong Jin couldn't help but be deeply attracted to her.

What a stunningly beautiful woman who can captivate all beings!

She's getting more and more beautiful, more and more captivating and irresistible!

"your Highness……"

In her presence, Sikong Jin could not act as shameless as she usually did. She felt respect and pity for Xing Fuhua, and of course, deep regret.

“Brother Jin…”

Xing Fuhua blinked her slightly hot eyes with some difficulty, her clear voice a little hoarse, looking at Sikong Jin with a wronged and vulnerable expression. Sikong Jin felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart and could hardly bear to look at her.

He smiled bitterly to himself, but with no other choice, he could only take a deep breath, stride forward a few steps, and let a rare tenderness appear in his deep eyes. Gazing into her misty eyes, he slowly knelt down on one knee and gentlemanly took her slender hand, giving it a kiss.

Xing Fuhua then smiled slightly.

"You don't need to be so eager to come out and greet me, do you? Tell me how much you missed me. Your hair isn't even done properly, and why are you wearing such a simple outfit? It's so cold outside, be careful not to catch a cold."

Sikong Jin straightened up, a bright smile spreading across her delicate face. As she spoke, she took off her own cloak and considerately draped it over Xing Fuhua.

Upon hearing this, a suspicious blush immediately appeared on Xing Fuhua's beautiful face. She quickly glared at Sikong Jin and said, "Who came out to greet you? Stop flattering yourself. I came out to greet Brother Ji!"

"Oh ho, calling me Brother Ji so intimately, aren't you worried I'll get jealous? Don't forget, you're now my future wife, Sikong Jin!"

Sikong Jin pretended to be annoyed and glared at Ji Wuge, who was pouting at her.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Brother Ji and I are good friends and comrades-in-arms!"

Xing Fuhua was worried that Sikong Jin would misunderstand, so she couldn't help but hurriedly explain. Seeing her like that, Sikong Jin felt conflicted and guilty again, and really wanted to slap herself until she fainted.

"Alright, Brother Jin, let's go back to the manor first. Father just returned home. He will be very happy to know that you are back. He has been thinking about you for more than a year."

"How did you know I was back? Yesterday, Ji Wuge said he would send you a message, but I stopped him. I was planning to give you a surprise."

Sikong Jin turned her head and glanced at Ji Wuge. Ji Wuge quickly turned her head and looked at the desolate autumn rain opposite her, and began to study the flying rain in front of her.

"I'll settle the score with you later!"

After saying that, she turned her head, intending to say something to Xing Fuhua, but found that Xing Fuhua was staring intently at her shoulder. She turned her head in surprise and realized that the sable had climbed onto her shoulder at some point.

"The Purple-Eyed Divine Sable?"

Xing Fuhua asked with some surprise, "Brother Jin, how come you have such a pet beast?"

She remembered that this Purple-Eyed Divine Sable was extremely rare; there were probably only a handful in the entire Fengyun Continent. She had heard that Empress Bei Chenfeng of the Great Zhou Dynasty owned one, and then she hadn't heard of anyone else possessing such a precious pet...

Xing Fuhua stared intently at Diaoye, her dazzling eyes gleaming with a mysterious light, and a faint smile graced her exquisite face. Diaoye felt a little embarrassed by her gaze, and shrank back, carefully snuggling into Sikong Jin's arms.

Actually, the sable looks quite cute. It's a black blob with shiny fur, purple eyes, and a slightly plump body. Many little girls like such fluffy and cute little beasts as their pets, and Xing Fuhua is no exception.

Looking at Xing Fuhua's sparkling eyes, Sikong Jin smiled faintly. Just as he was about to say that he would give away the sable, the sable seemed to be able to see through Sikong's thoughts at a glance. It stretched out its soft pink tongue and gently licked the side of Sikong's neck. Sikong subconsciously looked down at it and unexpectedly saw the thin rope with the phoenix jade hanging on his chest.

He shrugged, glanced thoughtfully at the sable, then grabbed it into his arms and smiled at Xing Fuhua, "This is a friend's pet. It'll be with me for the time being."

"Who is it that actually keeps the Purple-Eyed Divine Sable as a pet? Even the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty has to treat that divine sable with utmost respect."

Xing Fuhua couldn't help but ask in confusion.
