After some thought, Miao Yi finally took out the two maps and made a copy, tossing it to Ba Jie. "I'm warning you. You better stay here obediently. Otherwise, I will bring your son here and let you take him with you!"
"Don't!" Ba Jie hurriedly waved his hands. He was so frightened that his face paled. Take his son with him? What kind of joke was this? This move was too cruel for him. "Don't worry, Big Brother. Unless someone holds a knife to my neck, I will not leave!"
"Good that you understand. Contact me if anything happens," Miao Yi said, then turned around and left.
"Big Brother, this map isn't fake to fool me, is it?" Ba Jie shouted as he chased after Miao Yi.
Miao Yi was infuriated with just one sentence. Miao Yi spun around and gave him a kick. Bang! He immediately kicked him to the ground.
However, Ba Jie happily climbed back to his feet, believing that he had obtained the real map. He leaped up to the nine-tiered lotus throne and said, "Take care, Big Brother. I won't be sending you off. I have to cultivate as soon as possible."
Miao Yi glared at him coldly, then scoffed and turned to leave. As soon as he stepped out of the cave, there was a loud rumble behind him. The sealed door had fallen shut once more. Looking back, Miao Yi wondered if Ba Jie had a way to open the door from the inside.
However, he didn't have to worry. If Ba Jie had any problems inside, he would definitely contact him for help. He wouldn't suffocate to death inside.
With this thought in mind, Miao Yi quickly left.
Little did he know that Ba Jie, who was inside the treasury, saw that the door had been sealed again. He immediately dashed to the door to figure out how to open it from the inside. As for his cultivation, he could put it aside for now. He couldn't cultivate in peace without a way out …
"You're back!"
As soon as Miao Yi returned to the Netherworld Presidential Manor, he saw Yun Zhiqiu smiling at him in a strange manner. Miao Yi felt a little awkward. He knew that he had infuriated her by secretly going to the sealed grounds without her knowing. There was a high chance that she would want to settle the score with him.
The only reason she could still talk to him as politely as possible was because there were guests nearby. Guang Mei'er was here again. Otherwise, this woman would definitely flip out at him.
"Big Brother Niu." Guang Mei 'er, who was standing beside Yun Zhiqiu, smiled sweetly, looking very happy.
Miao Yi subconsciously looked her up and down. That face, that chest, that waist, and that butt. He sighed inwardly. This Guang Mei 'er was born to be a source of calamity. She was simply too alluring, even more so than her mother. His face was plastered with a smile. "Mei 'er, you're here. My apologies, I had some business to attend to, so I was unable to welcome you. Please forgive me!"
"Big Brother Ox, you're being too polite." Guang Mei 'er covered her mouth and laughed.
All these years, she had come here a few times, but was never able to see Miao Yi. She even thought that Miao Yi was intentionally avoiding her, so she didn't want to come again. If it weren't for Steward Gou Yue saying that he needed her to help the Guang Family maintain their relationship with the Heaven's Palace, she really wouldn't want to come again. It wasn't like she was shameless.
This time, when she heard that Miao Yi wasn't around, she thought that he must be avoiding her again. Who would've thought that Miao Yi really did come back? Only then did she believe that he wasn't intentionally avoiding her, and that he really had business to attend to. Now that she thought about it, she realized that he was different from her. She didn't have much business to attend to, but Miao Yi was a Domain Chief, so he must have a lot of business to attend to. Perhaps she had misunderstood.
Fei Hong personally came over and took the black cloak that Miao Yi had removed from his body.
It couldn't be helped. His hair wasn't fully grown yet. If too many people saw it, they might overthink things.
As soon as the cloak was removed, Yun Zhiqiu and Fei Hong were stunned. Guang Mei 'er was also stunned when she saw Miao Yi's stubbly hair. She asked in surprise, "Big Brother Niu, what happened to your hair?"
Miao Yi chuckled. "Something happened, so I got into a fight. Luckily, my head wasn't chopped off. Only my hair was damaged. It's a blessing in disguise."
Guang Mei 'er patted her chest in shock. "Who would be so bold as to make a move on a Nether Domain Chief? It's good that you're fine. " She was now more and more convinced that Miao Yi was away on business. Otherwise, he wouldn't have shaved his hair to fool her. It seemed like it wasn't easy for his subordinates.
She didn't know that her action of patting her chest made Miao Yi take a few more glances. It was a little tempting, and he couldn't help but be captivated. However, when Miao Yi caught a glimpse of Yun Zhiqiu staring at him with a faint smile on her face, he immediately felt a little uneasy. He knew that this madam had seen through his thoughts, so he quickly put on a nonchalant expression and smiled. "It's just a small matter."
"Milord has just returned. You should go take a bath first," Yun Zhiqiu said with a smile. She then turned to Fei Hong and said, "Little Sister, accompany the guest for now." After Fei Hong agreed, she turned to Guang Mei 'er and said, "Little Sister, please rest for now. Milord will host a banquet for you later."
Guang Mei 'er nodded and smiled. "It's fine. You can continue with your work."
"Milord!" Only then did Yun Zhiqiu politely extend her hand to Miao Yi.
The more courteous she was, the more uneasy Miao Yi felt. He knew that he would be stabbed no matter what he did. Unless he didn't come back, he would definitely be punished if he did. He already knew what the consequences would be before he came here. He forced a smile and nodded to Guang Mei 'er, then turned around and headed to the courtyard where he was bathing.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er exchanged glances. They both knew what was going to happen, so they didn't follow him.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, Yun Zhiqiu, who was following beside Miao Yi, suddenly said in a sarcastic tone, "Niu Er, you're really something! Now you're able to trick your wife so well. You've really improved! "
"Madam, you must be joking. Oh right, I just remembered that I already took a bath before coming here. There's no need for me to bathe again. Let's go get rid of that Guang Mei 'er first. "Miao Yi placed his hands behind his back, then turned around and walked back.
'Whoosh!' A sword artifact appeared in Yun Zhiqiu's hand, blocking Miao Yi's chest. Yun Zhiqiu scowled and said, "You don't have to worry about such trivial matters at home. I will take care of it myself. You can just wash it again after you've already bathed. What's there to be afraid of? I'll bathe with you. "
Miao Yi stared at the sword artifact in front of his chest and chuckled, "There's no need to wash it again after you've already bathed it, is there?"
Yun Zhiqiu scoffed, "Why? Is my body no longer attractive to you? Or is it because I already have a lover outside? Do you think Guang Mei 'er is more attractive to you now? "
"You're getting off topic!" Miao Yi pretended to be displeased, his expression darkening.
Yun Zhiqiu immediately reached out and grabbed his collar, causing Miao Yi to stumble. With a sword pressed against his neck, he was shoved to the bathroom.
Inside the garden, the important women of the Governor's Manor had all arrived. Lin Pingping and Xue Linglong were both here to admire the flowers with Guang Mei 'er.
As the women were chatting merrily, a sudden rumble came from the direction of the inner courtyard. Smoke and dust rose into the air, as though a residence had collapsed.
The women were startled. Guang Mei 'er asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" They all turned to look at Fei Hong. Fei Hong was also confused, not knowing what had happened.
Just as the women were about to go over to investigate, Xue 'er suddenly appeared and stopped them. She smiled and waved her hand, saying, "It's fine. It's fine. Milord got himself some new toys, but he didn't keep them properly. There was an accident. You don't have to worry."
Qian'Er had also stopped the guards who were alerted and persuaded them to return to their rooms.
In the bedroom of the main residence in the backyard, Miao Yi had just finished his' bath '. His face was bruised and swollen, and his clothes were in tatters. He stood there with a dark expression, allowing Yun Zhiqiu to undress him.
Yun Zhiqiu wasn't in a good state either. Her hair was in a mess, and her hairpin looked like it was about to fall off. There was a bloody gash on her neck, but she was still wearing a smile on her face, seemingly unfazed by it.
Back then, Miao Yi had tricked her into going on an adventure by himself. As expected, Yun Zhiqiu was furious when he returned.
Yun Zhiqiu might not necessarily be a match for Miao Yi in a fight. However, Miao Yi ended up angering her, and she immediately swiped her sword across her neck. That was truly a resolute move. Miao Yi was so shocked that he hurriedly snatched his sword away and obediently accepted his punishment. He swore that there wouldn't be a next time, and that was how the two of them ended up like this.
In short, Miao Yi had made a mistake, so he had to admit it. Otherwise, Yun Zhiqiu would never forgive him.
After helping Miao Yi remove his tattered clothes, Yun Zhiqiu shook out a new set of clothes and helped him put them on. She smiled and said, "That's enough. Who are you showing that look to? It's not like you can beat me!"
"I can't beat you?" Miao Yi turned around and glared at her. "Can you be any more shameless?"
Yun Zhiqiu immediately raised an eyebrow and mocked, "Oh? You're proud to be able to hit your wife, aren't you? Fine. Go out and tell everyone that you beat me up. I will definitely nod in agreement and admit that you're amazing. I will definitely show you enough respect! "
"…" Miao Yi turned his head away and cursed, "You shrew! You're being unreasonable! "
Yun Zhiqiu didn't continue the conversation. "Let's get back to business. You said that Ba Jie and Yu Luocha had a child. What's going on?"
Miao Yi had mentioned this to her when he contacted her earlier. However, it was a long story, and he couldn't explain it clearly through the Star Bell.
Miao Yi's anger subsided at the mention of this. He sighed, then explained the entire story.
After listening to him, Yun Zhiqiu tilted her head to let Miao Yi use the Glorious Star immortal herb to treat the wound on her neck. She sighed and said, "This Ba Jie is really something. To think he would actually do something like this … But since this hurdle has been overcome, it might not necessarily be a bad thing. If anything happens in the Western Paradise Realm, Yu Luocha might be able to help."
Miao Yi didn't comment. He already had this thought in mind, but he wouldn't tell Yun Zhiqiu about it.
The two of them finished cleaning up. Yun Zhiqiu put on a high-collared shirt to cover up the wound on her neck, while Miao Yi invoked his arts to remove the bruises on his face. When the couple went out to entertain Guang Mei 'er, they chatted happily as if nothing had happened. Only Qian' Er and Xue 'Er would glance at each other from time to time. They knew what was going on.
After Guang Mei 'er left after spending some time in the Nether Hell Presidential Manor, Miao Yi once again immersed himself in cultivation.
Meanwhile, the Celestial Court didn't seem to have the time to care about the Dark Hell Presidential Manor. The reorganization of the four armies had never stopped since the beginning, and it involved the interests of too many people. Moreover, the Heavenly Palace would interfere from time to time, making it even harder to stop. With Lord Qing's support, some people within the four armies wanted to leave and form their own faction. The fifth Heavenly King was about to take shape, but the Four Heavenly Kings launched a powerful counterattack.
Naturally, such a counterattack wasn't something that could be resolved with just words. Countless people were killed. The Marshals planted by the Imperial Guard Army were massacred, and two Marshals who wanted to take advantage of the situation to ascend to the position had their dreams shattered.
A few Marshals were changed all at once, and Heavenly Dawn Star Lord Pang Guan took advantage of the situation to ascend to the position of Marshal Mao Lu!
