Liu Chen: She is thinking about me!

Liu Chen was initially refusing, but this sudden change of heart left him bewildered.

However, this was not a big deal; perhaps it was due to Face.

Liu Chen didn't think too much, because he was more concerned about Shen Biru's matter.

Liu Chen spoke, “Good brother, I will come to invite you tomorrow night.”

In other words, there is still one day to prepare?

Xiao Fan replied with a smile, “No problem, you can take your time to prepare; I am fine with anything.”

“By the way, does sister-in-law like to play with spears and rods? I can give her a divine rod, which can be big or small, long or short, named Ruyi Jingu Bang (As-You-Wish Golden Hoop Rod). What do you think of this gift?”

Ruyi Jingu Bang (As-You-Wish Golden Hoop Rod)?

Liu Chen thought for a moment, it works.

His black iron rod was already pawned at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, and he wasn't used to using swords or spears.

Once this fellow gives the Ruyi Jingu Bang (As-You-Wish Golden Hoop Rod) to Bi Ru, he will ask Bi Ru for it.

A free iron rod.

Liu Chen thought that Xiao Fan's identity was extraordinary, so the treasure he would bring out must also be extraordinary.

This wave is a huge profit!

Liu Chen smiled, “Why say such things? I invited you over as a guest, and now I'm making you spend money. How could I be so shameless?”

“But, your sister-in-law loves treasures. If you can make her happy, it doesn't matter.”

Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow, “Heh, loves treasures, does she?”

Xiao Fan smiled, “Then I will use my beautiful big treasure to fill her small palace.”

“That's excellent,” Liu Chen said with a beaming smile.

Then he left in a hurry, saying that he would personally come to lead him over tomorrow.

Perhaps this is the norm for a Child of Destiny; even after becoming an emperor, he still likes to run errands himself.

As soon as Liu Chen left, the System's voice rang in Xiao Fan's mind.

“Detected that the Host is going to be lewd. This System has specially prepared a lewd package. Please check it.”

Ah?! Scum System, how can you casually slander people?!

Xiao Fan was stunned; there were even such strange packages.

Out of curiosity, Xiao Fan clicked on the System backpack.

“Ding, congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Cuckold Others Package.”

“Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Cheerleading Cage.”

“Cuckold Others Package: As the name suggests, it cuckolds the Child of Destiny.”

“Cheerleading Cage: As the name suggests, people locked inside can only shout ‘cheer’ and words related to ‘cheer’. If they remain silent or speak nonsense, they will be cut into ten thousand pieces by the tens of thousands of blades in the cage.”

Hiss~ This…

Xiao Fan only felt his scalp tingle. “System, why are you giving me such things? I am an upright gentleman.”

“This package is clearly something that harms people; I'm confiscating it!”

To ensure everything went smoothly at the banquet, Xiao Fan also thought of various strategies during his preparations.

Because he didn't know the personality of the Child of Destiny, he had to be familiar with all kinds of strategies: strong type, gentle type, tsundere type, aloof type…

He had strategies to deal with female leads of all personalities, so he wasn't afraid of not being able to handle it.

Even if there was truly no other way in the end, he still had the last resort of forceful action.

Of course, unless absolutely necessary, he would not resort to force.

…

A day's time for a Cultivator was but a flick of a finger.

Soon, Liu Chen arrived again, personally greeting Xiao Fan and leading him to the imperial palace's backyard.

Today, Liu Chen was even more majestic than usual.

Dressed in imperial robes, with an emperor's crown, he wore a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon golden silk robe, stepping on flying cloud boots that traversed a thousand mountains and ten thousand seas, with a jade belt cinching his Dragon robe around his abdomen, making him appear incomparably majestic, with Dragon Qi swirling around him.

The only flaw was that his Face was still pale, and his aura was somewhat unstable, clearly not having recovered from destroying his Foundation.

Dragon Qi swirled around him, but Liu Chen's eyes lacked the aura of an emperor. Even so, his attire today could be described as exceptionally outstanding.

However, in front of Xiao Fan, it was not worth mentioning.

Xiao Fan had the blessing of unparalleled Immortal grace, naturally exuding an unrivaled heroic spirit.

Today, he rarely wore a white robe, which was as white as snow and spotless.

With a perfectly handsome Face, a faint confident smile played on the corners of his lips, and his bright, spirited eyes held a hint of playfulness.

To appear even more impressive, Xiao Fan specially prepared a folding fan for himself. With each flick and fold, he appeared exceptionally elegant, like a learned scholar.

Although he only read books on Yin and Yang and the Great Dao, this did not affect his temperament.

Aren't adult books still books?!

He opened his folding fan and gently fanned it, stirring up a breeze. The wind blew across his Face, lifting the long hair that fell by his temples, giving him a sense of ethereal lightness.

Elegant and refined, with the demeanor of an Immortal – that was probably the meaning.

There is no harm without comparison.

Liu Chen originally thought that his day and night of preparation would amaze Shen Biru.

But compared to Xiao Fan, he was like a mortal emperor, while Xiao Fan was an Immortal descended to the world.

One mortal, one Immortal, the difference in their ranks was like a chasm.

Liu Chen couldn't help but feel a little inferior.

“Fellow Daoist, I am ready. Let's go,” Xiao Fan greeted.

“Oh, alright, this way please.”

Liu Chen smiled and guided Xiao Fan, leading him to the palace where their small gathering would be held today.

At the same time, Liu Chen was also confused, “Why are you dressed so handsomely? You're stealing my thunder.”

“Could it be that he fancies my empress?”

“No, that's not right. He hasn't even met Bi Ru, so how could he harbor ill intentions?”

Liu Chen could only attribute all of this to Xiao Fan's Pay attention to for this banquet; otherwise, it couldn't be explained.

In the palace, palace maids and eunuchs came and went, bringing dishes of Dragon liver and Phoenix marrow, bear paws and ape lips, and neatly arranging them on the table.

Besides these delicacies, vibrant and sweet Immortal fruits, divine springs, jade liquid, and fine wine were all brought out.

Since it was a family banquet, it was held at a round table with only three seats.

Before going to greet Xiao Fan, Liu Chen had already sent someone to bring Shen Biru to the palace and settle her in, and only then did he go to greet Xiao Fan.

In the palace, Shen Biru looked at the table full of rich delicacies, and a myriad of thoughts flashed through her mind.

“It's probably just some scoundrel. I'll just have a couple of drinks, then feign drunkenness, say a few perfunctory words, and then withdraw.”

“Hmm, that's what I'll do.”

Shen Biru had an idea in her mind; she felt that cultivating was a better use of her time. The sooner she became powerful, the sooner she wouldn't have to pretend with Liu Chen.

Outside the door, bursts of laughter could be heard.

“It's just ahead. Please come in.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Biru knew it was Liu Chen. She wasn't much moved and simply sat quietly at the table, idly twirling her hair and tucking it behind her ear.

Liu Chen entered the palace first. Seeing Shen Biru sitting still, he quickly whispered, “Don't just sit there. Get up and greet the guest.”

Shen Biru looked up at him, then turned her head away, no longer looking. “Who gave you the courage to order this Empress?”

Liu Chen saw that she made no move, and then turned to Xiao Fan, awkwardly saying, “I apologize. My empress is not feeling well, and she has been impolite. Please do not take offense, Fellow Daoist.”

Xiao Fan was indifferent. He said, “I can understand. Fellow Daoist, please don't take it to heart.”

Before even entering the door, Xiao Fan had already sensed the empress's temper; Liu Chen simply couldn't control her.

However, what you can't control doesn't mean I can't.

With a slight smile, Xiao Fan walked through the palace gate.

At this moment, out of curiosity, Shen Biru also looked up at the doorway, wanting to see clearly which scoundrel had saved that hateful Liu Chen.

Shen Biru's curious gaze met Xiao Fan's confident eyes, and their gazes locked.

Shen Biru was clearly stunned for a moment, a glimmer of light flashing in her beautiful eyes, a radiance she had never shown before.

Dressed in white, as pure as snow, the young man was full of vigor. The gentle breeze stirred by his folding fan ruffled his long hair, which flowed like spring willows caressing his Face.

Despite having a youthful and tender Face, he exuded a mature aura, as if he had experienced countless women... or rather, countless people.

His confident and charming smile, and handsome and dashing Face, made Shen Biru feel somewhat out of sorts.

How could there be such an Immortal-like person in the world!

Thump, thump...

Shen Biru felt her heart pounding faster. A slight curl appeared at the corner of her usually indifferent lips, revealing a smile she had never shown before.

It was probably the fluttering heart of a young maiden in love.

For some reason, she only felt her Face burning.

In an instant, she even thought of the names of their children.

Xiao Fan looked at Shen Biru, and he too was slightly lost in thought.

Her red lips were plump and lustrous, sweet and inviting, like ripe cherries.

Her jade-like Face was fair and delicate, surpassing snow and defying frost, perfectly flawless without a speck of dust.

Her nose was high and straight, her eyebrows were like willow leaves, her long and curled eyelashes, and her beautiful eyes, blinking and opening, closing and opening, seemed like shining stars in the sky, and the faint smile on her lips was intoxicating.

She styled her beautiful hair into a spiral bun, secured with a golden phoenix-wing hairpin inlaid with jade, appearing dignified and elegant. Especially her temperament, she was incomparably cold and beautiful, like an ice beauty.

Dressed in a Phoenix robe, she exuded grace and nobility. On her, Xiao Fan saw an aura of domineering power that looked down upon the world.

Yes, a woman exuding an aura of dominance that surveyed all living beings under heaven.

It truly made one unable to help but want to prostrate themselves at her feet.

No wonder Liu Chen was willing to be a simp; it was because this woman was born with such a temperament.

However, Xiao Fan always liked to conquer; the more arrogant, the better. No matter how arrogant, my woman will only crawl and flatter me in front of me.

Liu Chen's childhood sweetheart's beauty was indeed unparalleled, not inferior even to Luo Ruyan.

Of course, there was still a gap. In his heart, Luo Ruyan was more beautiful.

Because he had tested Luo Ruyan.

But he hadn't tested Shen Biru.

Any woman he hadn't tested wasn't pretty!

Both were adults, each with their own thoughts, but they did not easily show them.

This eye contact ended quickly; after all, they were not familiar with each other and could not show too much emotion.

Liu Chen only felt that the two of them were strange. Xiao Fan was fine; his smiling Face was very natural.

As for Shen Biru…

Liu Chen looked at Shen Biru and saw a blush appear on her fair and delicate Face. He thought she wasn't feeling well.

Seeing Shen Biru's unusually red Face, Liu Chen no longer paid attention to Xiao Fan.

Liu Chen left Xiao Fan and walked forward to ask Shen Biru with concern, “Bi Ru, why is your Face so red? Are you feeling unwell?”

“I'm fine. Do you not understand etiquette? Greeting the guest is more important,” Shen Biru said coldly, glaring fiercely at Liu Chen.

Then she stood up on her own initiative and smiled at Xiao Fan, saying, “Young Master, please have a seat. I was delayed with some matters just now and couldn't greet you. Please don't take offense at my lack of proper welcome.”

After speaking, she walked over on her own, completely disregarding Liu Chen's feelings. With a pair of warm, jade-like hands, she took Xiao Fan's broad palm and pulled him over.

And considerately moved a stool for him, arranging for him to sit down.

Right next to her!

With a soft, fragrant beauty in his hand, Xiao Fan felt a thrill in his heart.

Ah, this…

To be honest, to attend this banquet and deal with the unacquainted Child of Destiny, Xiao Fan had put a lot of effort into making many strategies, divided into five levels.

The difficulty from high to low could be divided into:

Especially hard to conquer.

Relatively hard to conquer.

Hard to conquer.

Relatively easy to conquer.

Easy to conquer.

Who would have thought that Shen Biru would just give herself away? How could this be?

Could you at least pretend a little? Otherwise, all my strategies would be for nothing!

Liu Chen was even more bewildered. “What's going on? Has the sun risen from the west?”

He remembered that when he called Shen Biru just now, she didn't even get up to greet him.

How come as soon as Xiao Fan entered the door, Bi Ru actively greeted him with a smile and even enthusiastically led Xiao Fan over?

Oh, I understand!

This is Bi Ru's painstaking effort!

Even though she doesn't say it, she's still thinking of me in her heart.

She is maintaining my image as an emperor in front of outsiders. Without me saying anything, she will handle these trivial matters for me.

Thinking of this, Liu Chen's heart warmed.

Bi Ru, you are truly the best woman in the world.

Even when you're unwell, you force a smile and greet guests for me. I understand your painstaking efforts.

I understand.

The three of them took their seats, and the banquet began.
