243: The little secret of the three people, go to Tiandou City to find Qian

Ye Wen also had to show compassion and consideration for Zhu Zhuqing’s condition, as she was his woman.

Therefore, he could only stop.

Although the spirit tool’s backlash could not be suppressed and would affect his emotions, it didn’t matter; he could suppress it himself later.

“Ye Wen, but you…”

“It’s fine, just rest for a while,” Ye Wen said with a faint smile, stroking Zhu Zhuqing’s head.

“Mhm, alright.” Zhu Zhuqing nodded and slowly lay down.

Ye Wen gently covered her with a blanket, and the two of them lay in the quilt, Zhu Zhuqing lying on her side, half-leaning against Ye Wen, quietly nestled in his embrace.

Ye Wen held her, and the two of them were quiet, conversing, chatting, and confiding in each other.

But Zhu Zhuqing could still clearly feel that Ye Wen’s terrifying spirit tool backlash power lingered and could not be dispelled.

Unable to suppress Ye Wen’s backlash power, Zhu Zhuqing always felt guilty, and she hesitated for a long time.

Finally, she made a very bold decision.

“Ye Wen, how about I use that unorthodox method to help you suppress that backlash power?” Zhu Zhuqing asked, looking at Ye Wen with her big, watery eyes.

“That unorthodox method, are you talking about?!” Ye Wen’s expression changed.

“Mhm~!” Zhu Zhuqing nodded solemnly.

“No! Zhuqing, you mustn’t do that.” Ye Wen shook his head, refusing, as this unorthodox method was too unkind to Zhu Zhuqing.

“I still feel a bit guilty for being unable to suppress the backlash power of your spirit tool; it’s because I’m too weak, but I’ve made up my mind.” Zhu Zhuqing said, slowly standing up and walking towards the source of the spirit tool’s backlash.

“Wait! Zhuqing, this isn’t your fault, nor are you too weak; it’s just that my power is too overbearing! It’s normal that you can’t suppress it during your first release of a Martial Soul Fusion Technique!” Ye Wen persuaded.

“Ye Wen, leave the rest to me.”

Zhu Zhuqing had made up her mind; she knelt before Ye Wen, slowly bent down, gathered all her remaining Soul Power and energy, and then gently opened her palm.

The next second!!!

“Mhm!!!”

“Zhuqing!!” Ye Wen’s eyes widened; in an instant, the spirit tool’s backlash was completely sealed, enveloped, and comprehensively trapped by an incredibly terrifying power, leaving no blind spots.

Pop!

“Ye Wen, can this method achieve suppression?” Zhu Zhuqing slowly raised her head, asking with a serious and earnest expression.

“Zhuqing, of course, but…!”

“It’s fine!” Zhu Zhuqing didn’t mind, once again gathering terrifying Soul Power, fiercely locking onto the spirit tool, and rapidly pulling, absorbing, and devouring its Soul Power.

That frequency, as Zhu Zhuqing’s Soul Power fluctuated and moved, reached its peak.

Under this state, Ye Wen’s spirit tool backlash power finally reached its zenith!

“Zhuqing!”

“Ah ah ah~!” Ye Wen screamed.

The next second!

Boom boom boom boom boom!

At this moment, all the terrifying backlash power burst forth, completely absorbed by Zhu Zhuqing, not a single trace escaping.

Cough cough!

Zhu Zhuqing coughed twice, and everything finally settled down.

“Zhuqing, you’ve worked hard.” Ye Wen came to Zhu Zhuqing’s side with a hint of heartache; she was willing to do this just to suppress that backlash power.

“It’s nothing, Ye Wen, I, Zhu Zhuqing, am already your woman; I’m all yours, so what does this matter?” Zhu Zhuqing smiled, not taking it too much to heart.

“No, in the future, try not to use such an unorthodox method, understand? This time, your Soul Power consumption was immense, so now, hurry and get some good rest.”

Zhu Zhuqing’s face flushed, and she said somewhat shyly, “No, Ye Wen, I’d better go back to Shui Bing’er tonight; I… I snuck out.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Wen understood that Zhu Zhuqing was thin-skinned, so he didn’t force her to stay, nodding, “Alright then, I won’t keep you.”

“Then… then I’m going back now~” Zhu Zhuqing said with a sweet smile.

“Not staying a bit longer?” Ye Wen asked.

“Probably not, what if Shui Bing’er wakes up later and finds me gone? That would be so awkward~” Zhu Zhuqing said, her face red.

“Alright, I understand, then you go quickly.” Ye Wen smiled helplessly in his heart.

“Mhm mhm!~ Bye-bye!” Before leaving, Zhu Zhuqing kissed Ye Wen on the cheek, then limped out of the room.

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing was having some difficulty moving, he felt a bit apologetic and sighed, “Sigh, I was still a bit too careless after all.”

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing had returned to Shui Bing’er’s side; she quietly closed the door, and at that moment, she thought she hadn’t disturbed Shui Bing’er.

But in fact, Shui Bing’er had already woken up a few minutes earlier and found Zhu Zhuqing was not by the bed.

However, Shui Bing’er didn’t alert Zhu Zhuqing either; she knew that Zhu Zhuqing was relatively thin-skinned, and if she woke up at this time, Zhu Zhuqing would be very embarrassed, so she thoughtfully pretended to be asleep, acting as if nothing had happened and no one knew.

The events of this night were kept hidden in their hearts, leaving a little secret for the three of them.

That night, the three of them each had their own thoughts, but eventually, they all gradually fell asleep.

The next day, early morning.

Ye Wen woke up early, washed his face and brushed his teeth, then went to the next room to find the two girls and call them to get up and leave early, but the two girls had already woken up and gotten ready.

So the three immediately set off, bought some breakfast on the street, then left the city immediately, bought a carriage, and headed straight for Heaven Dou City.

After many days of travel, Ye Wen and the two girls finally arrived at the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City.

Upon entering the city, Ye Wen and the two girls received a major piece of news: the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, Emperor Xue Ye, had passed away!

An Empire cannot be without a ruler for a single day; in order to quickly stabilize the situation and public morale after the Emperor’s death, a new ruler had to be chosen immediately.

Among Emperor Xue Ye’s direct imperial bloodline, only one son and one daughter remained: Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, disguised by Qian Renxue, and Princess Xue Ke.

The Fourth Prince had already been eliminated by Qian Renxue after Ye Wen participated in the Imperial Competition and told Qian Renxue that Xue Beng was faking his dissolute behavior.

As the Crown Prince, Qian Renxue now naturally had no competition and was the first in line for succession.

“Are you telling the truth?” Ye Wen asked, grabbing a passerby’s arm on the street.

“Absolutely true! Why would I lie to you? Everyone in the whole city knows about it, and it’s been spreading like wildfire; if you don’t believe me, ask others, they all know too.”

“Emperor Xue Ye passed away three days ago, and today is the day Crown Prince Xue Qinghe ascends the throne; the coronation ceremony will be held nationwide soon.”

“I’m still rushing to see the new Emperor ascend the throne! Brother, can you let go of me?” The passerby said somewhat anxiously.

“Thanks.” Ye Wen released the passerby, pondering, “Qian Renxue’s actions are quite fast.”
