My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 688 Easily Controlled

688: Easily Controlled

688: Easily Controlled

Not only had Gu Simu improved, but Ding True Man had also experienced a slight increase in strength over the past few days.

However, his progress was minimal, and he didn’t pay it much attention.

More importantly, he wanted to end this competition as soon as possible; if Gu Simu kept improving at this rate, it would only be him who would suffer in the end.

Looking at Gu Simu’s tightly clenched fists, he quickly approached her.

“Princess, don’t you feel tired?” he asked, trying to sound concerned.

Hearing his voice, Gu Simu turned her face slightly, glanced at him, but ignored him entirely.

Instead, she made a face of clear disdain.

Seeing this, Ding True Man’s face darkened instantly.

What had he done to deserve this?

He was a powerful Heaven-Fixing Realm cultivator, yet he was being mocked by a little girl. fгeewebnovёl.com

“A person who could hurt themselves with a single strike?

I don’t want to talk to you.

I’m going to find father.

You’re coming with me!” Gu Simu declared, her voice full of finality.

Ding True Man’s face turned even darker.

He was a dignified Heaven-Fixing Realm powerhouse, yet he was being mocked by this girl.

Gu Simu didn’t pay him any more attention, continuing on her way, leaving him no choice but to follow her.

Within the palace, she moved through with ease, unimpeded by anyone.

It wasn’t long before she arrived at the palace hall.

“Father!” she called out, her voice echoing through the empty hall.

Upon hearing her, Gu Lan froze for a moment.

Mu Yuyan, beside him, instinctively tugged at her collar.

Both stood up and turned their gaze toward the door, where Gu Simu had entered.

She immediately rushed toward Gu Lan and leapt into his arms.

“My Little Princess, why have you come to find your father?” Gu Lan asked in a voice filled with affection and tenderness, his gaze softening as he spoke.

As soon as Gu Simu heard this, she grinned mischievously, her eyes locking on to the Linglong Pagoda nearby.

“Simu has consumed quite a few Spirit Fruits during her training these past few days, and now there’s hardly any left!” Gu Simu said, her voice laced with a slight sense of grievance.

Seeing her expression, Gu Lan immediately raised his hand, summoning the Linglong Pagoda, which appeared before him.

The Spirit Fruits inside it were all revealed.

“Take as many as you need, my dear.

Father has enough for you!” he said, his tone full of love and indulgence.

The Empress, observing this scene, couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy.

Gu Simu had always been this way with her father; she never hesitated to take what she wanted, and Gu Lan never refused.

In no time at all, Gu Simu had taken half of the Spirit Fruits from the Pagoda.

However, she didn’t take them all.

With a sly smile, she turned toward Mu Yuyan.

Stopping in front of her, Gu Simu handed over four or five Spirit Fruits.

“Mother, these are for you, from Simu!”

This caught both Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan by surprise.

Gu Lan looked at her in bewilderment, wondering if all the fruits had come from him.

They had both been doting on the girl, but Gu Simu had gone and given away a portion of the fruits to Mu Yuyan!

Mu Yuyan, though slightly surprised, accepted one of the fruits.

“You’re such a good girl,” she said, her voice warm with affection.

Gu Simu was truly a thoughtful child, especially when it came to her parents.

She knew how to share her time between them and would always leave space for Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan to spend time together.

She didn’t want to be the one to interrupt their moments.

“Father, Mother, Simu has other matters to attend to, so I won’t disturb you anymore,” she said, with a polite tone, before turning to leave.

Gu Lan gave her a gentle smile, knowing full well that Gu Simu had only come here for the Spirit Fruits.

Now that she had what she wanted, there was no need for her to stay longer.

With that, the palace was left quiet, with only Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan remaining inside.

As Gu Lan turned and began walking forward, he commented, “This girl is truly sensible.”

He then pulled Mu Yuyan into his arms, his hand straying, which caused her cheeks to flush with embarrassment.

“What are you doing?” Mu Yuyan protested, though she had already leaned her head into his chest.

“I didn’t help you with your training last night.

Now’s my chance,” Gu Lan said with a smirk.

…

Meanwhile, Gu Simu had returned to her training grounds.

Seeing Ding True Man’s dejected face, she tossed him a Spirit Fruit.

“Here, you should recover first,” she said, her voice a little softer than usual.

Over the past few days, she knew Ding True Man had been working hard for her, and it was time for him to replenish his energy if he was to keep up with her next moves.

The Spirit Fruit contained immense energy, but Ding True Man could not bring himself to feel happy about it.

He knew exactly what Gu Simu was planning — she was just trying to keep him as a sparring partner.

If this continued, he would eventually be worn out.

Seeing him hesitate, Gu Simu narrowed her eyes and spoke coldly, “If you don’t want it, I’ll just go tell father.

He’ll come to discuss it with you.”

Though Gu Simu presented a vulnerable front to Gu Lan, in front of others, her gaze alone was enough to make them take a step back.

Her words carried a clear threat, causing Ding True Man to swallow the words he had been about to say.

With a bitter smile, he quickly shook his head.

“This is such a small matter.

How could I let the master handle it personally?

I’ll accompany you,” he said, trying to appease her.

He had no choice in the matter.

Gu Simu was adamant, and unless Gu Lan intervened, he was stuck.

He knew all too well that Gu Lan was exceedingly indulgent with her.

There was no way he would escape without further engagement.

Seeing him take the fruit, Gu Simu raised an eyebrow and casually said, “Fine.

You can keep it, but you owe me a favor now.

You have to do something for me.”

Ding True Man’s face darkened.

He could see through her intentions.

Gu Simu was clever, using her position to force him into a debt.

Though she had taken the fruit from him, she wasn’t finished.

A Heaven-Fixing Realm favor was significant, and Gu Simu knew that.

Though she was using force to obtain it, she understood that it was powerful leverage.

Ding True Man, though unwilling, had no other choice.

Gu Lan would undoubtedly trust Gu Simu, and if she told him that Ding True Man had stolen her Spirit Fruit, Gu Lan would believe her without question.

It was a threat he could not afford to ignore.

Seeing his hesitation, Gu Simu’s smile only deepened.

She casually patted his shoulder, “Don’t look so gloomy.

I’m not asking you to do anything yet.”

At that, she turned swiftly, and the Hammer of Evergreen Pine appeared in her hand.

She had already begun to merge her internal energy with it.

Her intention was simple: she wanted to be able to control the hammer with her thoughts, making it more convenient to use.

The power from the Hammer of Evergreen Pine was immense, and Gu Simu was almost ready to wield it without any further effort.

Before Ding True Man could react, Gu Simu struck, her energy surging through the hammer.

The entire training ground trembled as her powerful blow hit its target.

Ding True Man, who had barely managed to brace himself, was sent flying several hundred feet, his arms crossed over his chest as he tried to block the strike.

Though he managed to fend it off, he looked disheveled and worn.

His eyes narrowed, and a serious expression filled his face.
