The Aloof Lord's Mysterious Wife-Chapter 518: "Just Three or Four Times, I Can Still Handle It"
Chapter 518: "Just Three or Four Times, I Can Still Handle It"
For a moment, Emperor Muwu’s emotions were complicated.
Ye Siheng remained expressionless and said, "Brother, it’s me."
Emperor Muwu, feeling as if he was facing a deadly enemy, backed up several steps, exclaiming, "Yao Sheng! You evil eunuch, you’re truly vicious!"
He was already in a panic, trying to figure out what to do.
Ye Siheng twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Brother, your personal treasury key is hidden under the fourth floor tile on the left side of the side hall. If I were Yao Sheng, how would I know this?"
Hearing this, Emperor Muwu began to calm down. This was a secret that only his chief eunuch and his ninth brother knew.
"Ninth brother, is it really you?" Emperor Muwu asked with joy, stepping forward. But then he stopped, suspicion creeping in again. "Wait, if Yao Sheng took over your body, he would also know your memories!"
Ye Siheng rubbed his forehead, unsure how to explain further. "Brother..."
He took two steps forward, and Emperor Muwu immediately backed away. "Don’t come any closer!"
While the two brothers were at a standstill, the door to the inner chamber suddenly swung open.
Ye Siheng’s expression changed, worried that something had happened to Nanli, and in an instant, he teleported into the chamber.
Emperor Muwu stood there, stunned for a long while, watching a living person disappear in front of him. "What’s going on?"
He blinked a few times and became even more panicked. "Ninth brother has definitely been possessed! Only Yao Sheng can do something like this!"
Moreover, Yao Sheng hadn’t even used his talisman yet! Does this mean that even if A’Li’s powers remain, Yao Sheng is still stronger than her?
That wicked eunuch must have used some illusion, so even A’Li didn’t notice. Otherwise, with her fiery temper, how could she have left those marks on his body?
No, I must capture Yao Sheng!
A’Li has always protected him and Mu Nation. Now, it’s his turn to step up!
When Emperor Muwu stepped outside, Prime Minister Lu, Chu Hanlin, and the others eagerly gathered around, asking about Nanli’s condition.
He wore a grim expression and lowered his voice, "Ninth brother did this because Yao Sheng has taken over his body!"
Everyone was stunned, shocked beyond words. They wanted to shout in disbelief, but Emperor Muwu silenced them with a glare.
Turning to Zhi Mi and the others, Emperor Muwu ordered, "You all must go in at once and capture Yao Sheng."
Zhi Mi hesitated. "But... but the Ninth Prince woke up and my senior sister saw him. If Yao Sheng had taken over the Ninth Prince’s body, my sister would have noticed immediately."
"Yao Sheng is cunning. He must have used some technique to deceive even her eyes," Emperor Muwu replied. "Capture him first, then question him later!"
Zhi Mi was about to argue further, but Chu Hanlin had already drawn his sword. "Little Master Zhi Mi, the Ninth Prince has always cared for A’Li. If he were truly the Ninth Prince, how could he do this to her...?"
As a father, he couldn’t bring himself to say more.
His daughter was inside, and he didn’t even know her condition. But he could imagine the pain she must have endured...
All he wanted was to tear Yao Sheng into pieces immediately!
With that thought, Chu Hanlin prepared to charge in with his sword.
But Chu Ye quickly held him back. "Father, wait. If we rush in like this, Yao Sheng will be prepared. We need to catch him by surprise."
The Chu family exchanged glances, understanding Chu Ye’s plan.
Use teleportation talismans!
But they had already used theirs.
So, the Chu family all turned to Zhi Mi in unison.
Inside the chamber.
Ye Siheng had thought the gray-robed immortal had returned, but upon entering, he found it was a swarm of Eight Paws Evil Bees.
His sudden appearance stirred up a fierce wind inside the room. Combined with his overwhelming aura, the bees trembled in fear and quickly hid behind Nanli.
They had snuck in when the formation was broken, taking refuge near her.
Before Ye Siheng left earlier, he had already dressed Nanli.
"Your Highness, you’re too fierce. You scared my Bee Guardians," Nanli said, looking at the injured bees, some missing limbs or with small wounds.
Feeling sorry for them, she wanted to get the medicine kit to apply some ointment.
However, as soon as she stood up, her legs weakened, and she stumbled forward.
Ye Siheng, now able to move by thought alone, instantly appeared at her side, steadying her.
"I shouldn’t have gone for that last round," he said, feeling guilty.
"Your Highness, I’m just hungry. Three or four times, I can still handle it," Nanli teased.
Just as she finished speaking, the room was suddenly bathed in golden light.
Several people had used teleportation talismans, appearing abruptly in the chamber.
They were about to strike the "Ninth Prince," but the moment they arrived, they overheard Nanli’s words. Flustered, they lost their balance, falling over one another in a tangled mess on the floor.
Nanli froze, turning around.
"F-Father? Big brother... Fourth brother... Fifth brother?" Her vision darkened, and she almost passed out on the spot.
What a humiliating scene!
Ye Siheng’s expression was also a bit strained.
What is going on here...
Chu Hanlin stood up first, straightened his clothes, and let out a hearty laugh to ease the awkwardness. "We were just worried that the Ninth Prince had been possessed by Yao Sheng, so we came to check."
Chu Ye managed to maintain composure, but Chu Yang and Chu Yan, both inexperienced in such matters, were blushing furiously, their faces and necks bright red.
Um... so the Ninth Prince and sixth sister had been... for the past two days...
How was that even possible?!
Zhi Mi, however, noticed that Nanli’s complexion was rosy, and there was a faint flow of spiritual energy around her. He immediately understood, "Oh! So the Ninth Prince’s solution was dual cultivation!"
In his eyes, this was just a form of cultivation.
Finding a suitable cultivation partner for dual cultivation was one of life’s great pleasures!
So Zhi Mi added, "Three or four times! Your Highness, Senior Sister, you are amazing!"
Both Ye Siheng and Nanli began coughing awkwardly.
There was an uncomfortable pause, broken only by Emperor Muwu’s shouts from outside, "Chu family, what’s going on?! Did Yao Sheng defeat you all?!"
Nanli was confused. "Yao Sheng?"
Ye Siheng sighed and explained the situation to her.
He hadn’t expected such a massive misunderstanding.
"But at that time, I was unconscious. I don’t know where Yao Sheng’s soul went," Ye Siheng said with a frown, suddenly feeling nauseous. "Could he have hidden in my body?"
"No," Nanli shook her head.
After several days of intimacy, if Yao Sheng’s soul were hiding inside him, she would have sensed it by now.
Ye Siheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Nanli, however, was still surprised that Ye Siheng suddenly had a Golden Core inside him.
But Emperor Muwu was shouting outside again.
"A’Li, since you’re fine, you should go out and report your safety to the emperor. Everyone is worried about you," Chu Hanlin urged.
Nanli hadn’t yet realized the gravity of the situation and agreed, "Of course, I should report my safety."
She was about to head out.
