109: Entering the city again

When Cao Ren heard Mu Hongyan's words, he thought she was complaining that he had neglected her for more than twenty years.

He quickly whispered to Mu Hongyan, comforting her, "Madam! It's all my fault. In the future, I will spend more time with you."

Mu Hongyan's delicate body trembled violently upon hearing this, and cold sweat instantly dripped from her forehead.

"What should I do? Cao Ren is her legitimate husband, how can she refuse him? If she doesn't refuse him, what will she do if that little rascal comes to find her in the future?" Mu Hongyan thought to herself.

"If I refuse Cao Ren, will he think I've cheated on him? Will he take his anger out on my Mu family and destroy my Family?"

"Do I really have to give in to Cao Ren? Don't tell that little rascal, but she truly likes Qin Tian."

For a moment, she was in a dilemma.

"Madam! What are you staring at?" Cao Ren asked.

"Ah! I... nothing, I was thinking, now that the Xuantian Secret Realm is closed, will anyone find Heaven And Earth Treasure for reshaping the Physical Body!" Mu Hongyan stammered.

Cao Ren fell into deep thought upon hearing this. His mission this time was to find the purifying heart snow lotus, but with the Xuantian Secret Realm closed and random teleportation, he couldn't contact those Prodigies at all.

If someone found the purifying heart snow lotus, they could only be asked to hand it over voluntarily.

Moreover, his only son's life source had been crippled, and he urgently needed Heaven And Earth Treasure to reshape his Physical Body.

Thinking of this, he looked at Mu Hongyan and said solemnly, "Madam, don't worry, I will arrange it immediately. Notices have already been posted in various cities, offering generous rewards. If anyone finds Heaven And Earth Treasure for reshaping the Physical Body, they will definitely come to the City Lord's Mansion to hand it over."

Mu Hongyan nodded. Cao Ze was her only child, and she was equally concerned about him.

"Alright, Madam, I'll go make arrangements first."

Just as Cao Ren was about to leave, he looked at Mu Hongyan awkwardly and chuckled, "Madam... Madam, I'll come back to accompany you later!"

With that, he strode out the door.

Upon hearing this, two blushes instantly appeared on Mu Hongyan's beautiful face.

She stomped her small foot in annoyance and pouted, "Bastard! It's all that little rascal's fault. If he was going to hide, why did he throw that thing?"

Now it's good, this old dog Cao Ren always thinks she's secretly..., making her incredibly shy.

Recalling Cao Ren's words just now, that he would come back to accompany her later?

Thinking of this, Mu Hongyan's delicate body trembled, her hands unconsciously gripped her skirt, and cold sweat instantly soaked her jade back.

"What should I do? Cao Ren is serious this time!" Mu Hongyan was incredibly terrified.

...

Qin Tian piloted the Low Grade Sacred Artifact flying ship, arriving twenty li outside Tianyang City in a quarter of an hour.

He stored the flying ship in his Small World, transforming into a streak of light, and flew towards Tianyang City.

He didn't want to be too ostentatious. Piloting a Sacred Artifact flying ship might attract the covetousness of other powerful figures if discovered.

Upon arriving at the city gate, Qin Tian smiled as he looked at the notice posted there.

Both the purifying heart snow lotus, which was crucial for the Ninth Princess's life, and the Heaven And Earth Treasure for reshaping the Physical Body, were in his hands.

Whether or not to save them now depended on his mood.

According to Ying Mengyao, her younger sister, the Ninth Princess, surpassed her in both beauty and talent. It would be a pity if she were to perish like this.

As for Cao Ze, he was the son of the Cao Thief, but also Mu Hongyan's son. He hadn't yet decided whether to give him a lotus leaf from the Body Sculpting Snow Lotus.

But... if this turtle son recovered, he would again go around snatching civilian women. Last time he even tried to snatch his woman, and he crippled Cao Ze to frame Jiang Chen.

Forget it, he'll consider this later. If Mu Hongyan doted on Cao Ze very much and behaved well, making him happy, he wouldn't mind curing him.

It's been a month, I'm sure Hongyan misses me too!

Thinking of Mu Hongyan, Qin Tian strode into Tianyang City and rushed towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Just as he arrived near the City Lord's Mansion, he saw Cao Ren walking out of the City Lord's Mansion gate and heading towards Tianyang Plaza.

Looking at the departing Cao Ren, Qin Tian chuckled.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, he took out the high-grade Treasure Artifact mask and put it on. His figure flickered, and he transformed into Cao Ren's appearance.

Immediately, he swaggered towards the City Lord's Mansion.

"Greetings, Prime Minister Cao!" The guards bowed in salute.

Qin Tian nodded, softly uttered an "En," and then strode towards Mu Hongyan's room.

The two guards standing at the City Lord's Mansion gate were puzzled to see Prime Minister Cao, who had just left, return, and even change into strange casual clothes.

However, they had encountered a similar situation last time and almost lost their heads for asking about it. This time, they dared not inquire further.

Qin Tian arrived at Mu Hongyan's room, directly pushing open the door, only to see Mu Hongyan sitting in front of her dressing table, lost in thought.

Seeing Mu Hongyan's exquisite and beautiful face, Qin Tian's heart was filled with joy.

Mu Hongyan was currently racking her brain for a countermeasure for tonight. The door was suddenly pushed open, startling her. She looked up and saw Cao Ren swaggering into her room.

Seeing that it was Cao Ren, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she stammered, "You... didn't you go out? Why are you back again?"

Qin Tian laughed heartily, took a step forward, and came before Mu Hongyan. He embraced her and chuckled, "Madam, aren't I missing you? I've come back to accompany you!"

Mu Hongyan sensed Cao Ren's actions and instinctively wanted to dodge, but she was in shock earlier and hadn't expected Cao Ren to hug her. Her reaction was a moment too slow, and she was directly embraced by him.

"Ah!"

"Cao Ren, what are you doing? Let go of me!" Mu Hongyan cried out anxiously, her delicate fists continuously hitting Cao Ren's large hands.

Qin Tian released Mu Hongyan, chuckled, and said, "Madam, why are you so resistant to your husband? As your husband, isn't it permissible for me to hug my wife?"

"Or, has Madam cheated and found a new lover?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Hongyan's delicate body trembled violently, and cold sweat dripped down. She angrily retorted, "You... you're talking nonsense!"

"You haven't touched me for over twenty years. I've long since gotten used to it. Now you suddenly hug me, I'm scared!"

Qin Tian smiled slightly upon hearing this. He used the System to check his relationship with Mu Hongyan. Unexpectedly, after a month apart, their relationship not only didn't decrease but actually increased, reaching 95.

Seeing Mu Hongyan's nervousness, Qin Tian slowly removed the high-grade Treasure Artifact mask.

The moment the mask was removed, Mu Hongyan rubbed her eyes, and she was utterly shocked!

She cursed in her heart, "Damn Qin Tian, you're playing tricks on me again. Just wait and see how I'll punish you later."
