The Two-Faced Venerate Emperor

After all, anyone would be reluctant to leave their birth mother, this is a form of the human norm.

Ji Mo Ya was also experiencing a certain level of frustration towards Madam Ru as well.

Huan Qing Yan lifted her head with shining eyes, "Can I?"

Once they live in seclusion, it would be just the three of them. There will not be any role of being a successor to fulfill; internal clan conflicts or power struggles as well… she will be getting closer and closer to her dream.

"Yes, for you, for the baby. It is not excessive for us to spend our lives in peace for a period."

Huan Qing Yan returned a charming smile back at him.

"Okay! Thank you, husband."

Ji Mo Ya instantly felt his soul shook as he took a step forward and hugged Huan Qing Yan by the waist, "Wife, shall I not leave tonight? Your husband has missed you dearly…"

Huan Qing Yan's face blushed, "Let's talk after the marriage, I am sleeping with Little Treasure tonight."

Ji Mo Ya gave an innocent look, "The three of us can sleep together, the bed is so big. I promise I will not do anything…"

Huan Qing Yan snorted and replied, "Get lost!"

She carried Little Treasure in while a maid addressed Ji Mo Ya, "Sir, please return. The Clan Patriarch has instructed that if possible Sir must not visit our Lady until the wedding is over."

Ji Mo Ya looked at the disappearing back of Huan Qing Yan down the corner before he reluctantly retracted his gaze. His ink-black eyes shined before he made a soundless laugh.

Within a jungle of complex terrain, Bai Li Zi Xi was leading a small group of Devil Men.

These Devil Men were covered in black energy and were absolutely obedient to any orders.

If they were not instructed on what to do, they would look like puppets lacking a sense of self.

Bai Li Zi Xi was currently shrouded in black energy. Her looks were getting uglier, while her skin was turning darker and was covered in spots and wrinkles. Her body was as skinny as bones, looking like a skeleton covered in skin.

During her escape, she had converted all cultivators she encountered into Devil Men who only listen to her.

As the power of a single individual was still too weak.

Her current appearance was due to her converting so many Devil Men.

As she was running through the jungle, a black energy whirlpool suddenly appeared above her head, a black eye appeared from within.

"Master!" Bai Li Zi Xi exclaimed in joy.

The Devil Eye immediately scolded, "Who told you to convert so many people from the Eight Great Clans? I told you many times to avoid touching the Eight Great Clans, for now, it is not a good time now. Yet you turned more than a dozen Bai Li Clan Guards into Devil Men, and it was instantly noticed by Bai Li Ren, that old fox. Now, the Eight Great Clans are performing a large scale investigation for all Devil Men hiding amongst them. The seeds that Master had planted before were all wasted because of your dumb actions!"

Receiving so much scolding, Bai Li Zi Xi had no choice but to reply, "Master, I do not have any choice as well. Over a dozen experts have surrounded me. I could only… I… I Beg Master For Forgiveness."

If not for her potent Devil Energy that allowed her to convert her attackers, she would have died or got captured again.

Before, she was a noble Bai Li Clan Member of high status. Now, she had been turned into a defeated dog. The disparity was too high, if she did not rely on the Devil Energy inside of her, she would likely not be able to last till now.

Devil Eye was silent for a moment before replying, "So be it. Since things have reached this point, Master will replenish some of your spent Devil Energy!"
