182: You've come at just the right time.

The four of them held their breath instantly, huddling together at the gap in the screen, eight eyes staring straight out in unison.

They saw Tang Shuying walk in, dressed in magnificent robes and looking aggressive.

Cao Bu straightened his robes unhurriedly and said nonchalantly: "Say one more word, and you can get out."

As the words fell, the Aura on Tang Shuying instantly dissipated by half.

Her expression turned somewhat ugly, yet she did not know how to retort.

After a moment of silence, she finally spoke: "Speak then, why did you call this Empress here?"

When she saw the content of the letter, Tang Shuying had already guessed it.

And when Cao Bu saw her arrive, he naturally understood her thoughts as well.

It was just that some things were better left unsaid.

At the same time, she quietly "woofed" twice in her heart.

She hadn't planned to come, but after struggling all afternoon, she still couldn't suppress the longing in her heart.

At this moment, Bai Meier walked in again: "Master, Madam Lu from the Lin Clan has also arrived."

By this time, she had already sensed that something was wrong.

The people who had come in earlier were all gone.

She already had a guess in her heart, but the more she thought about it, the more shocked she became.

These were all famous figures in the Spirit Realm, yet now they were all gathered here at her Master's place.

This was simply absurd, yet wondrous beyond words.

"Let her in." Cao Bu remained as indifferent as ever.

Bai Meier responded and retreated.

"Cao Bu, what do I do? Where should I hide?" Tang Shuying was suddenly flustered, her eyes darting around in a panic.

Cao Bu looked at her flustered appearance and couldn't help but tease: "The two of us haven't done anything shameful; the way you're acting makes it seem like we're having an affair."

Tang Shuying was speechless; this bastard really knew how to put on an act.

There were only the two of them here, was there any need?

Cao Bu pointed behind the screen, his tone casual: "Go hide there."

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly; this was going to be fun.

Tang Shuying couldn't care about her status as Empress at this moment and dashed toward the screen in a flash.

But when she saw the four people behind the screen, sticking their bottoms out and peeking through the gap, she instantly froze in place, her mind going blank.

Just then, footsteps came from outside the door.

Tang Shuying had no time to think and dove behind the screen.

Consequently, the scene behind the screen became exceptionally crowded.

Five women with noble statuses in the Spirit Realm were now all squeezed into this narrow space, observing the movement outside through the gap in various postures.

Zhao Wei walked into the living room in a simple, elegant long dress, her footsteps light, her gaze lingering on Cao Bu.

"Cao Bu, speak, what is your purpose in calling me here?"

Actually, she had already guessed it, but she hadn't expected Cao Bu to be so bold as to dare invite her here.

Was this bastard really not afraid of Lin Xiaotian coming to his door with a three-meter-long blade?

Cao Bu leaned lazily against the back of his chair, his fingertips tapping lightly on the table: "Sit down first."

Zhao Wei sat down gracefully, then her nose twitched slightly, and her delicate brows furrowed: "There seems to be a special Aura in your living room."

Behind the screen, the five women held their breath instantly.

Lu Qingwu clenched her clothes tightly in nervousness.

Qin Bingyao subconsciously shrank back.

Mu Zining was still enthusiastically observing Zhao Wei through the gap.

Fang Ruodan was calm and composed; she was the least afraid here.

And Tang Shuying, who had just squeezed in, had a look of: "Who am I, where am I, and what am I doing?"

"Special?" Cao Bu remained calm, his tone natural: "I don't think so, you must be overthinking it."

Zhao Wei was half-believing, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over that screen.

At that very instant.

"Crack!"

The screen, unable to bear the weight of the five women, made a crisp cracking sound.

Amidst the dust, the five women in various postures were exposed to the light of day.

Lu Qingwu was still maintaining her crouching posture of peeking.

Qin Bingyao covered her red lips in panic.

Mu Zining was lying on the ground with great interest.

Fang Ruodan stood up calmly and brushed off her sleeves.

Tang Shuying still had a look of bewilderment.

Zhao Wei was stunned at first, then her beautiful eyes widened, scanning every familiar face present in disbelief: "Madam Lu? Empress Bingyao? Madam Mu? Emperor Dan? Empress Tang?"

Her voice rose with every name she read, and finally, she turned to Cao Bu, her tone complex: "Cao Bu, you... the few of them, could it be that you have already..."

It was no wonder she would think this way.

So late at night, for these noble people to gather here, she couldn't think of any other reason except that they had received threats from Cao Bu just like her.

If that were truly the case, then these people before her had likely already been taken by Cao Bu.

Seeing that Zhao Wei had already guessed the truth, Cao Bu had an indifferent expression on his face.

Anyway, it would have to be revealed sooner or later, and tonight was just the right opportunity.

"The truth is as you think; all of you have already been left with my, Cao Bu's, mark."

Hearing this, the people behind the screen looked at each other.

At first, they had only been guessing; they hadn't expected it to actually be true.

The expressions of the group instantly turned strange; they were all the strongest women in the Spirit Realm, yet they had ended up in such a state.

Back in the day, the Cultivators chasing them could hold hands and circle the Spirit Realm ten times.

Who would have thought that the final winner would be a plain and ordinary Cao Bu.

Mu Zining was the first to react and quickly tried to argue: "Cao Bu, don't you go slandering people! I haven't yet."

Cao Bu sneered and said with certainty: "Not now, but you will sooner or later."

Mu Zining snorted coldly, lifted her leg, and walked toward the door: "Who wants to play with you, I'm leaving."

Cao Bu grabbed her wrist and threw her back: "Do you think you can escape tonight?"

Mu Zining was instantly speechless; her cultivation had already been Sealed.

Unsurprisingly, she really couldn't escape.

However, looking at the scene before her, a strange sense of exciting anticipation inexplicably rose in her heart.

Cao Bu's ability to handle so many women was naturally beyond doubt.

It was just that doing this felt somewhat unfair to her husband.

No, she had to act like she was dying rather than submit, just like before, otherwise wouldn't she be looked down upon by these people?

She, Mu Zining, was not a woman who could be easily taken!

On the other side.

Zhao Wei looked at the mess on the floor and then at the five women with different expressions, suddenly chuckling: "This is truly lively."

She walked gracefully toward Cao Bu and whispered in his ear: "Since everyone is here, why not... add me to the mix?"

Although the words were soft, who among those present was not a person of profound cultivation?

Even Qin Bingyao and Mu Zining, whose cultivation was Sealed, heard these words.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

This Zhao Wei had absolutely no sense of boundaries.

Cao Bu raised an eyebrow, tilting his head to look at her playfully: "Are you sure?"

Zhao Wei's gaze swept over the people behind the screen, the corners of her lips carrying a faint smile: "Why, if everyone else can come, can't I?"

Mu Zining was the first to react, forcing herself to be calm as she spoke: "Madam Zhao, you misunderstood, we just happened to be here to discuss important matters."

"Discussing important matters, and you need to hide behind a screen?" Zhao Wei said with a faint smile.

Lu Qingwu simply gave up and let it all hang out.

Anyway, her and Cao Bu's appearance from earlier had already been seen by Fang Ruodan and the others, so why not drag these people down with her!

"Alright, alright, Zhao Wei has already seen through it, why keep pretending? Why not..."

"Madam Lu, watch your language." Qin Bingyao coughed lightly, attempting to maintain the dignity of an Empress.

Tang Shuying finally came back to her senses, and looking at this scene, she couldn't help but rub her forehead: "Did I arrive at the wrong time?"

Lu Qingwu glanced at her faintly: "No, you arrived just in time."

Escaping was impossible.

If she didn't drag all these people in today.

Once they left, there was no telling if they would spread word of her and Cao Bu's affairs to everyone.

After all, her affair with Cao Bu had truly fallen into the eyes of these people.

Perhaps someone had already secretly recorded it with a shadow-recording stone.

To be absolutely safe, she had to keep all these people here and make everyone sit in the same boat.

Cao Bu looked at the room full of beauties, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

Now that everyone had arrived, it was time to get down to business.

Just at this moment, Yan Ruyu walked in from outside the door again, saying helplessly: "Master, Yun Shang is here."
