"Miss Feng, Su Yuan is asking you a question."

In the lower cabin of the Yaksha, Qi Hanyan, who was eavesdropping through the deck, turned her head and gently nudged Motis beside her.

Being naturally sociable, Qi Hanyan had gotten familiar with Motis after just a few days on the Yaksha... of course, this was limited to the red-hatted Motis.

Thus, she learned about Motis's true background and what had happened to the Feng Family.

Ten years ago, the Feng Family on Wutong Island was exterminated by the Yaksha Pirate Gang, with the entire family either killed or captured, leaving only Motis to barely survive.

This massacre shocked the government office responsible for overseeing Wutong Island.

After all, the Feng Family, though in decline, was still a Cultivation Clan, different from ordinary civilians like grasshoppers.

If the immortal officials of the government office had promptly investigated, there might have been a chance to rescue the captured members of the Feng Family, or even disrupt the previous Blood Sacrifice Ceremony.

But the result was not so.

It was unclear whether the immortal official in charge of the case had ties with the Blood God Sect or simply wanted to avoid trouble, but they accused the Feng Family of smuggling, defining the massacre as a vendetta due to uneven distribution of loot.

From then on, no one cared about the lives or reputation of the Feng Family, and those taken were silently killed during the Blood Sacrifice Ceremony.

Every time Motis thought back to this, even her stoic main personality would be lost in thought for a long time.

However, to seek revenge, she had already joined the Demon Dao and became the Saintess of the Blood God Sect.

Perhaps one day she could succeed in her revenge, but she could never clear the false charges against the Feng Family or restore their honor.

But now, it seems an opportunity has arisen.

Motis raised her small face, her gaze piercing through the deck to look up at Chen Nuoyi above, strands of anticipation swirling in her beautiful eyes.

On the deck, Chen Nuoyi suitably wore an expression of grief and anger, and exclaimed:

"You dog official, how dare you threaten me with my family's honor!"

Su Yuan laughed softly and said:

"Miss Feng, I know you have grievances." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"But think about it carefully, as a pirate wandering the Sea of Law, killing indiscriminately, you have no official opportunity."

"Without me to clear your name, you'd have no chance in this life to overturn the case. I'm doing this for your own good."

"Even for the sake of your parents in the afterlife, you ought to consider it carefully."

Chen Nuoyi clenched her fist, lowered her head slightly, seemingly engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

Onlookers like Ying Ding and Qi Junxiang, the Immortal Officials, exchanged glances.

They had read enough stories to not be completely unfamiliar with this scene... so why did it feel like they were the complete villains here?

Oh, County Magistrate, aren't you afraid your wife might stab you one night with this scheming?

Characters like you typically don't have good endings!

Despite their thoughts, none of the officials dared to voice their true opinions.

They merely retreated in unison, doing their best to avoid becoming lackeys to a second-generation Immortal villain like those in the stories.

After a lengthy internal debate, Chen Nuoyi finally lifted her head, bit her rosy lower lip, and asked:

"Wutong Island is under the jurisdiction of the Purple Qi Mansion in the East Continent, how does a county officer from Shengyang Mansion plan to overturn the case?"

Su Yuan: "I have some connections in the East Continent. By slightly using these relationships, I can naturally form a special investigation team dedicated to uncovering the Feng Family case from ten years ago."

"Once we find the immortal official who hastily closed the case and bring them to justice, the truth will all come to light."

Chen Nuoyi nodded: "Alright, I'll go with you."

"Once the case is fully reversed and my family's name is cleared, I'll be willing to marry you."

Su Yuan instantly put on a smug expression and gestured to those behind him:

"What are you standing around for? Quickly bring the County Magistrate's wife on board!"

"Yes!"

Ying Ding and others nodded hurriedly and flew towards the Yaksha.

"Madam, please... please come aboard."

Ying Ding was exceedingly polite.

"Don't call me madam, I have no ties with your County Magistrate yet."

Chen Nuoyi said with a look of disgust, keeping a cold and pretty face.

The corners of Ying Ding and others' mouths twitched, realizing being a villain's henchman wasn't so easy after all.

But what they didn't know was that Chen Nuoyi's thoughts and her outward attitude were completely different.

"I acted in this play so well, I should have fooled them all, right?"

"However, the upcoming grand wedding is also a test... It's all Qi Hanyan's fault for complicating things that were originally simple, it's really put me through hardship."

The girl muttered to herself, her face stern but inwardly feeling happy as she walked towards Su Yuan's warship.

At this time, Qi Junxiang, who had been taking a lap inside and outside of the Yaksha, hurried back and said:

"Miss Feng, there are two women on your ship. Are they your crew members or...?"

Chen Nuoyi was not surprised by this question and nodded slightly:

"They are my friends as close as sisters. That dog official... since County Magistrate Su only needs me, please don't trouble them."

Qi Junxiang hesitated, uncertain about such a big issue.

But just then, Qi Hanyan came up to the deck with Motis, and said sincerely:

"Sister Feng, we'll go with you."

Motis, now switched to her red-hatted state, had a face full of expression and said with concern:

"Sister Feng, if you go alone to Dragon City County, such a den of dragons and tigers, you'll be completely devoured and wiped clean by that dog official!"

"We'll go with you, and if that dog official dares to bully you, we'll fight them with you!"

Their words were part of a prearranged script, to allow these two to enter Dragon City County smoothly.

Therefore, Chen Nuoyi, after a moment of feigned hesitation, shook her head and sighed:

"You two..."

"If you want to come along, then do so. No matter what, I'll make sure you're all safe and sound."

Ying Ding, Qi Junxiang, and others exchanged glances once again, watching as the three sisters boarded the battleship where Su Yuan was located.

How does it feel like... besides Feng Xuanxiang, the other two stunning beauties also couldn't escape from their County Magistrate's grasp?

Could it be that the county magistrate has more than one wife?

With these thoughts, Ying Ding hurriedly followed back and arranged accommodations for the three of them.

Qi Junxiang, on the other hand, took control of the Yaksha, letting the pirate ship head towards Dragon City County.

It was night.

In the luxurious cabin, Su Yuan had a thought and launched the Night Raid Must Succeed.

The next moment, he instantly teleported to the room where Chen Nuoyi and the other two were, silently.

"I've been waiting for you."

Chen Nuoyi's calm voice sounded, not surprised by Su Yuan's arrival at night.

"Yes, I'm here."

Su Yuan replied, pulling out a chair and sitting down at the dining table in the cabin.

In the middle of the dining table stood a copper hot pot, the clear broth bubbling and boiling, surrounded by exquisitely plated dishes of beef and lamb spirit beast meat, along with pickled garlic, sesame paste, and other condiments.

The aroma of meat and sesame paste floated in the room, making Su Yuan and the others' mouths water, even though Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core Stage cultivators could already avoid eating grain.

Chen Nuoyi and Motis sat on Su Yuan's left and right at the square dining table.

But Qi Hanyan's seat was empty.

Because that girl was tied up, with a cloth stuffed in her mouth, thrown on the bed, and could only watch eagerly as the three of them gathered around the table, eating hot pot and singing.

She looked like a helpless husband tied up by bandits, watching his wife interact with the bandits.

This is just too despairing!

This was the method Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi secretly agreed upon to punish Qi Hanyan.

Make her starve, eat hot pot right in front of her, and make her drool with envy!

The three of them swished meat in the hot pot, chatting idly as they ate.

As a native of the Celestial Law World, this was the first time Motis had hot pot.

She learned from Su Yuan's way of eating, picking up the tender lamb with chopsticks, swishing it in the boiling hot pot broth for a few seconds, then pulling it out and coating it with rich sesame paste before taking a big bite.

Immediately, her eyes, calm as a lake, slightly narrowed, and a faint pleasure appeared on her beautiful face.

After eating several mouthfuls in a row, she finally had the space to speak:

"Su Yuan, thank you."

The officials of Dragon City County might think Su Yuan was taking advantage of the situation, coercing Feng Xuanxiang with the Feng family's reputation.

But as the real Feng Xuanxiang, Motis knew that Su Yuan helped clear the Feng family's name purely out of goodwill, without asking for anything in return.

Su Yuan casually waved his hand:

"It's nothing, you're from the Primordial Sect, and as the Sect Leader, I should help handle some matters even without you asking."

"Thanks."

Motis repeated her gratitude.

She didn't directly promise to repay Su Yuan but intended to prove it through her actions.

At this point, Motis seemed to remember something and asked:

"By the way, Su Yuan, I've revealed my true self to others, which might alert some about my identity. How should this be handled?"

Su Yuan: "No matter, since the Blood God Sect has changed leaders, those who've seen your true face have either been recruited or dealt with, very few can recognize your true identity."

"And very soon, we'll be heading to the Cold Plum World, and relationships here will no longer matter."

After a pause, Su Yuan added:

"Besides, revealing yourself is meant to attract Blood Soul True Monarch's attention."

"If he's already been scared away, there's nothing more to say, but if not, when the county magistrate's wedding takes place, I'll give him another good scare!"

Motis looked suddenly enlightened.

It seemed Su Yuan wasn't afraid to reveal his county magistrate identity to Blood Soul True Monarch, instead planning to use it to thoroughly intimidate him.

So there's nothing for her to worry about.

Just enjoy eating meat peacefully.

As they were eating, Qi Hanyan, who was tied to the bed, managed to spit out the cloth in her mouth after some effort.

She opened her mouth to speak.

"Don't shout, or I'll take your sock off and stuff it in your mouth."

Su Yuan said without even lifting an eyelid.

"Okay, no problem."

Qi Hanyan nodded obediently, then, like a wriggling caterpillar, turned onto her side and asked with a fawning expression:

"Sect Leader, Sect Leader brother, about my Immortal Official position..."

Su Yuan snorted:

"Still thinking about an Immortal Official position? Just be a maid to accompany the bride when she marries!"

The pink-haired girl's expression instantly turned aggrieved, looking at Su Yuan with teary eyes.

Su Yuan rolled his eyes:

"Don't try those tricks with me, acting cute won't work... At most, I'll let you be a Stable Cleaner."

Qi Hanyan's eyes brightened and she said gleefully:

"Stable Cleaner? Stable Cleaner works too, rounding up I'm also the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, and this way, I can stay with my White Dragon Horse again."

Indeed, the horse Su Yuan rode today was named Xiaobai by Qi Hanyan.
