With a face full of malice, Di Asura left behind a ruthless, murderous remark, "swish" went his sleeve, as he turned and left!

Xiao Yu bit down on his teeth, waited for Di Asura to leave the prison cell, then secretly took out a few hot buns from his pocket, placing them in front of Empress.

Empress's eyes were empty, devoid of even a trace of spirit, not reaching out to receive the buns.

Xiao Yu had no choice but to force the buns into her hands, then hurriedly turned to chase after Di Asura.

"Husband, must...must Jier participate in that experiment, risking her life?" Xiao Yu asked reluctantly.

"Woman's compassion!" Di Asura coldly replied with his hands behind his back, "Xiao Yu, wake up, Empress is just a clone, don't really treat her as our daughter!"

"But..."

Xiao Yu wanted to persuade Di Asura but was mercilessly interrupted.

"There's no 'but' about it! The ultimate experiment plan 'over there' has found a suitable target, not lacking people, but Empress is a very good target too. Sending her for the experiment is a perfect way for me to show loyalty to 'over there'!"

"Xiao Yu, you should know, the probability of success for Di Family's experiment here is very, very low."

"What we have to do is abandon this sinking old Di Family ship and switch to a stable and sturdy new Noah's Ark!"

"When the old world collapses, and the new world begins, we will still stand on top of this world like we do now!"

"Your Xiao Family, at that time, will also be able to ascend with me to the peak!"

"Enough, keep an eye on Empress, I have matters to attend to, I'm leaving!"

Di Asura impatiently waved his hand, unwilling to say more to Xiao Yu, and left directly.

Xiao Yu sighed deeply, speaking to his retreating figure: "My niece in the northern district of Capital City was attacked and seriously injured, with mental problems too, but her spirit seems to have returned to normal with the help of a divine doctor...not that this is the point. Anyway, in the next few days, I need to go down the mountain to visit her, and also return to Xiao Family to help organize participation in the Ancient Martial Realm's quinquennial medical competition. I won't be able to come back to cook during this time, so you'll have to eat at the dining hall."

"I'll be out handling affairs for a few days, and won't be back either."

Di Asura finished speaking blandly and "swish", transformed into a silhouette in the night sky, disappearing.

Xiao Yu glanced at the hidden entrance of the underground prison in the corner of the courtyard, very secretive, blending into the surroundings, almost unnoticed by anyone, his eyes once again flashing with a hint of reluctance...

At the same time.

"Bang!"

In the underground prison, Empress suddenly slammed her head against the wall, causing a huge bloody hole on her forehead, blood flowing extensively!

But soon, the bloody hole began to scab over, healing.

She fell powerlessly to the ground, her beautiful watery eyes overflowed with two full tears, trickling down onto the floor.

The Celestial God Level healing ability made it very difficult for Empress to vent her inner pain in such ways.

Once upon a time, she longed desperately to know her own background.

Now, she loathed her so-called "background" immensely!

Clone!

The beautiful childhood memories she once had belong not to her but to Liu Tianyun!

Empress's lips curled with a self-mocking arc, her heart gripping with pain.

If, recalling the beautiful childhood memories, she couldn't help but develop an attachment and feelings for "big brother", and blushing because of it.

Now she only feels pain in her heart!

That strand of pleasant memories does not belong to her but to Liu Tianyun!

Under such circumstances, what qualifications does she have to be attached to and secretly adore Ye Huan?

No qualifications whatsoever!

The qualified one is Liu Tianyun!

Ye Huan is Liu Tianyun's "big brother", not her Empress's "big brother"!

Thinking of this, Empress's heart throbbed with pain, her body curling up, wanting to escape from all this through death, unwilling to endure this powerlessness and pain anymore, nor to become some darned experiment subject a year later!

Yet, she wasn't resigned.

She really wasn't willing to just die like this, she wanted to catch a glimpse of Ye Huan.

Just a glimpse would suffice.

But staring at the cold and dark, solid iron bars forged from special materials, her gaze faded, delving into deep despair.

...

"Hey Da Bao, three people are here looking for you, seems like they've got some business."

Capital City, Tingxiang Pavilion. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

At nine in the morning, Li Luo knocked on the door of the second-floor room, speaking softly.

Ye Huan was already awake, hearing that, he was somewhat puzzled.

Three people coming early in the morning?

Who?

There wasn't any appointment.

Though puzzled, he still responded: "Alright, let them wait, I'm coming soon."

Saying that, he patted twice on the slender, soft waist of Dragon Fragrance lying in the bed, smiled and said: "It's about time, it's nine, time to wake up."

"No, just a little while longer."

Dragon Fragrance's small face was nestled close to Ye Huan's chest, holding onto Ye Huan's broad back, she spoke in a pampering voice, closing her beautiful eyes again, appearing just like a serene sleeping beauty.

She had already been lazing in bed for over an hour.

Ye Huan was somewhat helpless, but he didn't push her to get up.

Last night they fought till three in the morning before sleeping, truly exhausting a lot of energy.

Dragon Fragrance wanting to sleep a bit more was quite normal.

But at this moment, with a lazy, sweet, slightly enchanting voice, Dragon Fragrance said something unexpected to Ye Huan: "Somewhat unfinished, what should I do?"

Ye Huan was taken aback, his mouth slightly curling, he squinted and smiled: "What else, morning exercise it is."

"Morning exercise?"

Dragon Fragrance's pretty face blushed, intelligent people are scary, they use adjectives so correctly!

However, she has the intention, but her body won't permit!

"Wanting morning exercise but too tired, let's skip it, and besides, there are people waiting for you downstairs." Dragon Fragrance finished speaking blushingly, sat up, started to tie her hair.

Her sleepiness hadn't completely worn off, she wanted to continue snuggling in the covers with Ye Huan, enjoying this sweet moment, but thinking of the guests waiting for Ye Huan, she dismissed the idea.

Ye Huan got up to wash.

Dragon Fragrance tied her hair, tidied up the scattered messy clothes on the floor, and the fragments of ultra-thin crystal black stockings, opened the room window for air, then entered the bathroom to wash, afterwards going downstairs together with Ye Huan.

Upon reaching the first-floor hall, Ye Huan's eyes narrowed.

Wasn't the man sitting on the sofa, wearing a mask and dressed in a black robe with dark arrows embroidered on the sleeves, none other than Dragon Gate's Dark Guard—Di Yuntian?

Why did he suddenly come over?

Also.

Li Luo had mentioned three people were looking for him, so where are the other two?

Ye Huan's gaze swept through the hall.

When his gaze stopped on the one sitting by the dining table wearing tight cheongsam, hair coiled up atop her head, and glaring at Jiang Shishuang, while beside her there was a petite woman in a maid outfit, his forehead instantly sprouted several black lines!

Shen Taoyuan!

And her sidekick, Xiao Yuan!

Why did they also suddenly come, and even bring a suitcase?

Seeing the pink suitcase next to Shen Taoyuan, Ye Huan's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot!
