234: The vixens have teamed up! My little husband, may I borrow your man for a moment?

Inside the Fengming Hall, the air was as thick as a block of iron.

Su Chen's face turned green.

He felt as if he weren't standing in a palace, but in the middle of three active volcanoes about to erupt simultaneously.

[Guest star my foot! That trashy play of yours is about to write me as a slave of three surnames who falls for every woman he sees, and you want me to guest star? I'm afraid that as soon as I step on stage, I'll be drowned by the spit and Magic Treasures of the righteous pillars and demonic giants below!]

[Big sister! Are you blind?! Don't you see two women standing next to me who want to swallow me whole? And you're still fanning the flames? You really want to see me die without a whole corpse!]

Ji Hongxue's expression was no longer just cold; a deathly indifference belonging to an emperor had surfaced.

She looked at Liu Ruyan, her voice devoid of any warmth, as if reading a death decree from the Nine Nether.

"Liu Ruyan, this is the Great Xia Forbidden Palace, not your Nine Nether stage."

"If you don't leave now, leave your life here to add a splash of color to my palace walls."

"Oh my, Her Majesty the Empress has such a temper."

Liu Ruyan clutched her chest in exaggerated shock, but her soul-hooking peach blossom eyes were filled with the excitement of watching a show.

Instead of backing down, she smiled even more enchantingly.

Twisting her water-snake waist, she bypassed the stunned Su Chen like a beautiful snake looking for an ally and walked straight toward Ye Linghan.

This move startled everyone.

Ye Linghan's phoenix eyes, burning with dark red demonic flames, narrowed dangerously as she scrutinized this little enchantress who dared to approach her.

"This elder sister," Liu Ruyan's voice became incredibly sincere, even carrying a hint of girlish admiration, "you must be the legendary... peerless Fairy who could make even Divine Son Su fall for you, right?"

Ye Linghan raised an eyebrow and didn't speak, but the playful curve of her lips deepened.

Su Chen rolled his eyes frantically in his mind.

[Here it comes! She's starting! The personal performance show of Ms. Liu Ruyan—the Nine Nether Demonic Cult's Chief Socialite, Warmonger, and Great Master of fanning flames!]

[Peerless Fairy? You're calling a prehistoric Demoness who eats Great Emperors for snacks a Fairy? Are your eyes on the soles of your feet? You're insulting the word 'Fairy'!]

Liu Ruyan didn't care about Ye Linghan's silence at all, let alone Ji Hongxue's darkening face.

In front of everyone, she pulled a beautifully bound gold-leafed booklet out of her Storage Ring like a treasure.

On the cover, gold dragon patterns were written in a flourishing style.

—"The Empress's Sorrows: Supreme Enhanced Edition"!

Seeing those large characters, Su Chen almost stopped breathing and died on the spot.

[There's a fucking enhanced edition?! Are you planning to release a seasonal drama and hold an annual election?! Are you going to set up a VIP paid-per-view, where you don't show the plot of the Main Wife beating up the mistress unless people tip?!]

Liu Ruyan handed the script to Ye Linghan and leaned into her ear, breathing like an orchid as she spoke in a seductive volume only the two of them could hear.

"Sister, I've added some spicy details to this new script."

Her voice wasn't loud, but Su Chen was close, and every word exploded in his ears like thunder.

"I heard that Her Majesty the Empress, in order to win the Divine Son's heart, didn't hesitate to let her dragon robes fall and was willing to be a concubine, wanting to serve the same husband as you, the Main Wife!"

"So, I specifically added a scene..."

Liu Ruyan's tone was full of the excitement of a successful prank.

"It's the brilliant part where you, the Main Wife, arrive in all your glory and majesty to rub that shameless Empress mistress, who dared to touch your man, into the ground!"

"Sister, don't you think this script is very interesting?"

As soon as these words came out.

Su Chen felt the terrifying demonic pressure beside him, which was enough to crush his Divine Soul, suddenly lighten!

Ye Linghan's gaze, which had been locked on him with scrutiny and possessiveness, shifted instantly!

Her strange phoenix eyes suddenly erupted with a terrifying light!

It wasn't anger, but the pure, pathological excitement of finding a peerless toy!

She snatched the "Supreme Enhanced Edition" script from Liu Ruyan's hand, her face filled with an unprecedented level of anticipation and fanaticism.

Compared to watching over a salted fish that only knew how to play dead, witnessing a high-and-mighty Empress being publicly executed was clearly a much more interesting "game"!

"Rub her into the ground?"

Ye Linghan repeated the fresh phrase, her lips slowly curling into a cruel yet pleasant arc.

"This... is interesting!"

"Let's go!"

Ye Linghan made a prompt decision and grabbed Liu Ruyan's wrist. The movement was so intimate it was as if they were long-lost sisters from different parents.

"Take this seat to see how exactly your play is performed!"

Having achieved her goal, Liu Ruyan laughed so hard she trembled, leaning naturally against Ye Linghan.

She waved triumphantly at the petrified Su Chen and the pale-faced Ji Hongxue.

"Oh, then we won't disturb Her Majesty the Empress and His Highness the Divine Son's rest."

Ye Linghan pulled Liu Ruyan and turned to leave with great efficiency.

As she reached the palace entrance, she seemed to remember something, paused, and glanced back at Su Chen.

The warning in that look made Su Chen's whole body stiffen.

"Little Husband," her voice drifted over, filled with demonic possessiveness, "if this boring woman dares to be improper with you, remember to call me."

"I will return at any time to tear down this trashy palace of hers."

Before her voice faded, two dark shadows flashed and disappeared from the entrance of the Fengming Hall.

Only a string of enchanting and unscrupulous laughter remained, echoing in the deathly silent night.

"Giggle, giggle, giggle..."

The two most terrifying plagues were gone just like that.

The Fengming Hall instantly became quiet.

Su Chen froze in place, his brain not yet processing this god-like turn of events.

[Gone? They just left?]

[This enchantress Liu Ruyan is a natural-born diplomat and Warmonger! She lured away the biggest threat with just a few words? This move is just too smooth!]

[Although I'm safe for now, why do I feel... a chill down my spine?]

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief.

A gaze fell on his back.

That gaze was bone-chillingly cold, carrying unmistakable killing intent, as if it wanted to pierce through his very Divine Soul.

Su Chen's body stiffened again, and he even forgot to breathe.

He could clearly feel that the Empress, who had been publicly humiliated, labeled a "mistress," and threatened to be "rubbed into the ground"... her mood right now was probably a hundred times worse than during the three-party talk just now.

It's over.

Just sent off two wolves.

Now, it's his turn to face a thoroughly enraged... tigress alone.
