Instead, he raised his hand to grasp her delicate hand, his gaze calm as he looked at An Miaoyi, with a hint of sharpness in his eyes.

Although Su Changsheng didn’t mind taking in An Miaoyi and was even willing to offend the significant figure from the Crimson Refining Demon Palace, everything depended on whether An Miaoyi would deceive him.

If there was any falsehood in her words, Su Changsheng would have to consider how to deal with her.

He would still take her in, but his attitude would become much colder, treating her merely as a tool.

“You are truly cautious, my lord!”

An Miaoyi was somewhat taken aback, but then she gave a bitter smile. Her beautiful eyes blinked as she gazed at the distant bright moon.

“The Crimson Refining Demon Palace has nine Hall Masters. Each Hall Master is said to be a Saint King. Above the nine Hall Masters is the Palace Master. The significant figure who has taken an interest in me is one of the Hall Masters!”

An Miaoyi’s expression returned to calm as she explained softly.

“That Hall Master is very powerful, ranking among the top three. He is also extremely ambitious and is said to be aiming to break through to the Great Saint level. I am the cauldron he has prepared, waiting for the moment he emerges to seize my essence!”

An Miaoyi gave a bitter smile.

Her life seemed to be that of a revered Holy Maiden, exalted and pursued by countless prodigies and sect leaders, but in reality, she was merely a puppet, destined to be a plaything in the future.

“Aiming to break through to the Great Saint level?”

Su Changsheng was moved. Such a top-tier Saint King was truly terrifying, and few forces would dare to provoke him.

No wonder just his reputation alone was enough to scare a Saint into fleeing in panic.

Even a hegemon like the Taishi Sect might not be willing to provoke him.

The Taishi Sect, after all, was merely a hegemon of one continent and may not be as powerful as it seems.

“Miss An Miaoyi, that is a dignified Saint King, a supreme expert capable of breaking through to the Great Saint level and becoming a major power in the future. Why would you think that a mere Saint like me would dare to provoke such a figure?”

Su Changsheng set down his wine cup, looking at her with a faint smile.

What was this belief based on?

One must know that the strength he had displayed so far, though formidable, was still far from that of a Saint King.

“I believe in you, my lord. You are not as simple as you appear. Moreover… I once received help from a reclusive sage. He calculated for me that I would be aided by a rising Saint and would escape my tragic fate!”

“The only rising Saint in the True Saint Continent right now is you, so naturally, I had to seek you out!!”

An Miaoyi blinked her beautiful eyes, speaking somewhat playfully.

“A reclusive sage?”

Su Changsheng was a bit taken aback. This sounded like a plot from a third-rate novel involving a charlatan.

“Yes… He was a middle-aged man in a Daoist robe, with a mysterious background. With just a few words, he revealed my fate and gave me guidance!”

“I was able to evade the Tianyu Sect and contact you because of the opportunities provided by that reclusive sage’s guidance!”

An Miaoyi said, her eyes showing gratitude when she mentioned the middle-aged man.

“I see!”

Su Changsheng suddenly understood, then pondered for a moment before looking at An Miaoyi again, his gaze sharp.

“I can indeed oppose that significant figure, but there is still one question: what benefit will I gain?”

“Relying on you alone is not enough for me to confront a Demon Palace!”

Su Changsheng said calmly.

“My lord, you really do like to haggle over every detail. However, your caution makes me very happy, as it proves you are indeed confident in helping me!”

An Miaoyi smiled gently, as if she had removed a mask, and looked at Su Changsheng with a soft gaze.

“I also have my own bargaining chip. I received guidance from that reclusive sage and obtained the inheritance of an ancient powerful being. Although only a wisp of their soul remains, their physique is a rare top-tier divine body. If you, my lord, can revive them, they would make a stunning addition to your wives and concubines!”

“In addition, I know several Holy Maidenes and Divine Maidens, all of whom are my friends. They either possess powerful physiques or exceptional talents. I can introduce them to you!”

“How about this condition?”

An Miaoyi smiled, her eyes filled with cunning.

“……”

Su Changsheng remained silent, looking at An Miaoyi with a slightly peculiar expression.

He didn’t expect An Miaoyi to go to such lengths.

To gain his help, she was willing to offer up the ancient powerful being who had given her the inheritance. Not only that, but she also planned to introduce a group of her close friends.

Is this what they call fair-weather friends?

(TN: “Fair-weather friends” refers to people who are only your friends when things are going well for you, but who abandon or betray you when you face difficulties or challenges. They are not true friends who stand by you through thick and thin.)

“I am also helping that senior. With only a wisp of her soul remaining, I alone cannot aid her. Only you, my lord, can provide the assistance she needs!”

……

“This is a win-win situation!”

“As for my sisters, they will eventually get married. So why not introduce them to you, my lord?”

“I am doing a good deed!”

Seemingly understanding Su Changsheng’s thoughts, An Miaoyi blinked her eyes, filled with cunning. Like a fox, her beauty was enough to bring down a kingdom, making one want to succumb to her charm.

“You’ve put it that way, so if I still refuse, it would seem rather unkind of me!”

Su Changsheng smiled slightly and, under An Miaoyi’s expectant gaze, slowly nodded.

“Thank you, Lord Changsheng.”

An Miaoyi’s face lit up with joy as she threw herself into his arms, her tone gentle.

Su Changsheng could sense a feeling of reassurance in her voice, no longer carrying the previous uncertainty and apprehension.

“From today onwards, you will stay with the Su family. There is no need to return to the Tianyu Sect!”

Su Changsheng said, holding her.

“Won’t that alarm the powerful figures of the Crimson Refining Demon Palace?” An Miaoyi asked anxiously.

“Don’t worry. Didn’t you say that the significant figure is still in seclusion? As long as he doesn’t come personally, it doesn’t matter. I can handle it!”

Su Changsheng’s expression was calm.

Even if the other party personally emerged from seclusion and came to attack, Su Changsheng was not afraid.

Even if he couldn’t win, he could ask the Ninth Princess for help.

That’s right, having a powerful backer allows one to be so arrogant and domineering.

“By the way, this is the ring of that ancient powerful being. Her remnant soul is currently sleeping within it.”

At this moment, An Miaoyi handed a ring to Su Changsheng. It was moon-white in color and emitted a mysterious aura.

“Indeed!”

Su Changsheng raised an eyebrow, sensing a faint primordial soul fluctuation from within.

Indeed, an ancient powerful being was hidden within.

[Ding, a candidate meeting the concubine standards has been detected: the remnant soul of the Empress of the Ancient Heavenly Court, Chang Yue. Physique: Taiyin Sacred Physique, [Gold] grade fate. It is recommended to restore her state and take her as a concubine!]

Soon, the system’s voice rang out.

“Empress of the Ancient Heavenly Court?”

Su Changsheng’s heart trembled, and he looked at the ring with some astonishment. Was this ancient powerful being really so significant?

Taiyin Sacred Physique?

This was also a top-tier sacred physique. Although it couldn’t compare to the Innate Primordial Dao Fetus, it was still incredibly formidable!

However…

But this was an Empress! Does this mean he would become a traitor like Cao Cao?

[Ding, the Ancient Heavenly Emperor was a woman, a rare female Heavenly Emperor!]

Just as Su Changsheng felt a strange sense of unease, the system’s voice rang out again.

A female Heavenly Emperor? A yuri relationship?

In that case, there’s no problem!

“Lord Changsheng, is there a problem?” Seeing Su Changsheng remain silent for a long time, An Miaoyi thought there might be an issue and spoke with some unease.

“No problem, this is quite a pleasant surprise!”

Su Changsheng shook his head. This was indeed a big surprise.

The Empress of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor.

He was somewhat looking forward to the day when she would bear his children; the scene would surely be wonderful.

“There’s still time. Accompany me for a drink!”

Su Changsheng said.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, several days had gone by.

In the Ziyue Dynasty, within the imperial palace, the Ziyue Empress sat on the throne with an icy expression. Below her, a group of ministers looked indifferent, their gazes disrespectful.

Additionally, a group of nobles had gathered, exuding powerful auras and surrounding a young man with blood-red hair.

“Empress, as long as you marry the Blood Sword Emperor, the Ziyue Dynasty can avoid the danger of annihilation!”

The blood-haired young man said arrogantly, with his hands behind his back.
