"For now, this is indeed the best option." The conversation had reached this point, and the nun simply spoke frankly.

"Qianji, now the royal court has many powerful monsters under its command, whose strength far exceeds Dongyun by a hundred times."

She stared into Qianji's eyes, her voice low and earnest.

"The Kirin Maru can already suffocate the mermaids. If the royal army were to wipe out Dongyun, what would we do?"

The young mermaid queen stood there in a daze, her clenched fists slowly loosened, and a few bright red blood marks seeped out between her knuckles.

The nun extended her hand compassionately, a soft light emanating from her palm as she healed the wound on Qianji's palm.

Qianji's face suddenly darkened, with a hint of hesitation that was difficult to express.

"But I heard that King Douya is extremely licentious, and any woman of even the slightest beauty in the royal court cannot escape his clutches..."

She raised her tearful eyes and spoke in a voice so soft that it was almost inaudible.

"For the sake of my people, I... I can give myself to him. But sister, how will you cope with being such a beauty?"

The nun's fingertips trembled violently, and the gentle smile on her face froze instantly.

Qianji's last sentence completely shattered her usually calm demeanor.

"What nonsense!"

The nun pinched Qianji's soft cheeks and said, "When our agreement ends, my life will also come to an end."

This gentle woman has a face that shows the vicissitudes and calmness of seeing through the world.

There was even a hint of joy.

"Once the curse of immortality is lifted, how could this body, like a candle in the wind, be worthy of the attention of the Fighting Fang King?"

Qianji remained silent, but just held on to the corner of the nun's clothes.

Chapter 216: The Birth of Seshomaru (Additional Update)

Yuanzhou Royal City, Sifang Hall.

In the residence where the Dongyun envoy stayed, the scent of agarwood lingered.

Shi Lu was kneeling in the tea room, playing with the teacup in her hands, her red lips slightly pursed.

Her full breasts rose and fell with her increasingly heavy breathing, and the belt around her waist not only did not hide her charm, but instead made her waist look even more slender.

"Your Majesty is still busy with government affairs today. Isn't he free?"

"Yes, it's Lady Lu."

She looked at the maid who returned alone again, her eyes like spring water in March, her voice like honey and oil, but there was frost in her eyes.

"Go down."

After the maid left, the silence in the room was suddenly broken by the sound of clothes rustling.

A pair of delicate legs were faintly visible under the winding dark silk skirt. The sunlight filtering in through the window gilded her snow-white skin. Even the silhouette cast on the screen was imbued with the charm of a mature woman.

The one who stood up was Lu, with a frosty brow that could not be melted away - Taotie's death was beyond the expectations of everyone in Dongyun.

"No, this is not a simple accident, but a necessity after all these things happened."

Her red lips parted slightly, but the words that came out were as cold as a knife.

"Those people followed Kirinmaru and had a smooth journey, always victorious. It's inevitable that they became proud and complacent."

"Now that Dongyun has suffered a severe blow, I wonder how much loyalty the remaining Qiongqi and Hun Dun still have towards Qilin Wan."

"When Kirinmaru and his men first arrived at Lindong Island, their methods were also brutal and ruthless."

"When Dongyun was at his peak, he was a raging fire, a scene of flourishing flowers, and no one dared to offend him. But now that he is weak, he is bound to be overthrown. I need to meet the king as soon as possible!"

Thinking of this, Lu frowned again.

She was not completely waiting these days. She visited the three dukes and nine ministers in the royal court one by one, but except for the Dian Keqing who was responsible for her duties, she did not meet anyone else.

However, an enthusiastic Yatengou from the Ministry of the Imperial Household came to interview her, but the next day, gossip that took her out of context and hit on her core ideas spread throughout the royal court.

Lu was so angry that she gritted her teeth and tore into pieces the "Wenwen News" that the other party had sent her with good intentions, which she read as news and wrote as a rumor.

This bleak reality made the Dongyun messengers more and more depressed day by day, and they were all worried about whether they could see the sun tomorrow.

Some even hoped that Shilu would soon be able to enjoy the company of the Lord of the Royal Court, as the news reports about [The Supreme Treasure of the Dongyun Emissary Group? The Beautiful Lady Shilu!] had reported, so that they could rest assured.

However, she couldn't even enter the gate of Lulian Castle. No matter how beautiful she was, she couldn't cook without rice.

And how could she gain the respect and favor of the Lord of the Royal Court by simply offering her body? She was just a dancer who used her beauty to entertain people!

Shi Luhui sat at the tea table, carefully thinking about the woman who had a relationship with King Dou Ya.

Each of them holds an important position and possesses both beauty and talent.

She suddenly felt that the cup of cold tea on the table was very similar to her current situation.

..............................

"The king has ignored that beautiful lady for over ten days. Why has he suddenly changed his temper?"

In the garden on the top floor of the castle tower, Fairy Lingyue was lazily leaning on the soft couch.

Her bulging belly made it difficult for her to move, but it did not diminish her graceful demeanor at all.

She raised her eyes and glanced at her husband who was serving her diligently. Although there was a smile on the corner of her lips, her tone was sarcastic.

"If, because of me, the marriage between the king and Miss Shilu is delayed, and the royal court's plan to conquer Dongyun is ruined, then I cannot bear the consequences."

The purpose of Shilu's trip was obvious - he simply wanted the royal court to delay the attack on Dongyun.

Even though they knew that the Lord of the Royal Court was fond of beautiful women, they still sent the eldest sister Dongyun from Guosetian as an envoy. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the meaning of this. Lingyue, who was about to give birth to Seshomaru, suddenly became angry.

"Look what you said."

Dou Ya picked up the nutritious porridge, scooped it up with a spoon, blew on it, and handed it to his beloved wife's red lips.

Seeing that she had a stern face but still swallowed it obediently, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"None of the beautiful women out there can compare to my Yue'er, who makes me lose my mind."

He had an ambiguous smile on his face, "I just wish Seshomaru was born sooner, so that this guy wouldn't get in our way all the time."

"You look like a dead man." Ling Yue chuckled. "You're almost going to be a father, but you're still so frivolous and smooth-talking all the time."

Although the beautiful wife said so, her eyes full of spring water and her straight jade feet wrapped in white socks under her loose long skirt pierced through the false mask on her face.

(A woman who says one thing but means another.)

(It just suits me perfectly.)

A smile flashed across Douya's eyes. He scooped another spoonful of porridge and handed it over slowly with a leisurely tone.

"The royal court has many powerful and capable soldiers. If I do everything myself, they will appear useless. I should at least give them the opportunity to make merit."

"The Taotie's demise this time was simply a coincidence for Nura Sakurai, who achieved the first great feat since the royal court divided the four states."

Ling Yue swallowed the porridge in her mouth, licked the porridge stain on her lips, and asked with a flickering look, "So, how does the king plan to reward me?"

Dou Ya said, "You are the Grand Tutor. According to the rules, you should be the one to formulate the rewards."

Ling Yue snorted softly, "The position of Grand Tutor was originally forced upon me by the King. Government affairs are so tedious, I just don't bother to deal with them."

She raised her eyebrows slightly and said sarcastically, "Since the king has many female confidantes, why not choose one from the increasingly capable Snake Princess sisters in the secretarial office?"

"They have been managing government affairs in an orderly manner lately."

At the end of her words, Ling Yue glanced at her husband's face and became jealous again. "I wonder who these two sluts are trying to impress by performing so hard."

Douya saw that after just a few words, he was about to involve other women and become his jealous wife, and a doting smile appeared in his eyes.

He wisely skipped this dangerous topic, put the empty bowl aside, and said seriously.

"Meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and faults must be punished. Nurarihyon is now the military commander of Yangzhou. If he wishes to be promoted further, he has only three options: prefect of a prefecture, Minister of State for Respect, one of the Nine Ministers, or a position in the Grand Council."

After Ling Yue vented her temper, she snuggled in her husband's arms like a little bird.

After giving him a considerate kiss, she said in a coquettish tone.

"I remember that Feng Changqing's duty is to preside over the shrine and perform sacrifices. The king intends to assign a miko or a priest from the clan to take on this role. Nura Sakurai can't meet the requirements."

"indeed so."

Douya helped his beloved wife adjust her sitting position so that she could lean more comfortably, then nodded.

"For the position of Feng Changqing, I originally wanted Zouzi from Senluo City."

"Unfortunately, she has declined until now, citing the reason that 'young miko in the city need a miko teacher to guide them.'"

His tone fluctuated slightly. "It seems as if my royal city is a den of dragons and tigers, and once you enter, you can't leave."

Ling Yue leaned against her husband's chest and quietly rolled her eyes at the words - isn't it? With a super pervert like you here, which innocent woman would dare to come?

Anyone who can come here has other purposes.

Zouzi was not afraid of Douya's power, which made Lingyue admire him.

Her slender fingertips drew circles on her husband's heart, "Feng Changqing can't be absent forever. If Zouzi Wu Nv doesn't come, we can just replace her. Wouldn't the old priest in the clan be fine?"

Ling Yue raised her head and said in a gloomy tone, "Or is it that a young and beautiful witch makes the king feel more physically and mentally happy?"

If you don't punish him for three days, he will tear off the tiles!

Douya took action.

"ah!"

Ling Yue, who was suddenly attacked in Fengyu Didi, let out a cry. When she looked up, she saw Dou Ya acting as if nothing had happened and changed the subject.

"For the position of prefect, Nurarihyon meets the strict requirements of a great youkai, and he also has retainers to assist him in government affairs."

Douya analyzed, "With the merits of recruiting Yatagarasu and slaying Taotie, his promotion to prefecture is justified."

He caressed Ling Yue's lower back imperceptibly with his palm, but his tone was serious, "If you are transferred to the Military Affairs Council, you can also make the best use of your talents."

Ling Yue bit her lip and glared at him, but her whole body felt weak and she had no choice but to bury her face in her husband's chest, "Your Majesty, let's talk about business..."

"Aren't we talking about serious matters?"

Touga, whose heart was stirred by his wife's beauty, chuckled, "Let Nurarihyon choose for himself. This is also a recognition of his potential and a positive treatment for him."
