When Qi Huan left with Duan Sui 12 , they didn’t see Thunder God and Lei Gong anywhere. They heard from Shui Ling that something big had happened in the Thunder God Temple, so they left first, but they left a message for Qi Huan, saying that they would go to Ming Huo City immediately after they handled the matter.
However, Qi Huan felt that Thunder God and Lei Gong seemed to be hiding from her. They just gave an excuse to leave without even seeing her!
No matter what the deal Thunder God and Ming Huo had made, it had nothing to do with her anyway, as long as she didn’t want to, no one had the right to influence her.
On the way to Ming Huo City, Ming Huo was very calm, he did not do anything deviant at all. Only occasionally, when Qi Huan met his eyes, she could see the excessively hot light in his eyes.
Yu Long’er stayed with Qi Huan all the time during their journey, while Ming Yan was very unhappy. Every time he looked at Qi Huan, he looked like he was looking at an enemy. He would also occasionally walk around her, as if he was monitoring her.
Whether it was being asked to by Ming Huo or volunteering, she didn’t do anything shameful anyway, so she would just let him watch. She was also unhappy at first but she slowly got used to it.
To build up an entire sect was not an overnight matter. Even if immortals had great powers, it still took some time to build an empire. With Duan Sui’s identity, the place he lived in must be at least as big as Ming Huo’s palace. A palace of that size would take at least a few months to build. Therefore, during this period, Qi Huan had to live in Ming Huo’s palace again.
Qi Huan never knew that getting up every morning would also be such a frightening thing. This time she got to choose where to sleep. She had avoided all the rooms with Ming Huo’s name on the sign, and finally found a small courtyard in the corner of Ming Huo Palace. However, this didn’t stop Ming Huo’s persistence to see her. Every morning, she would be woken by him, he would carry a basin of water for her to wash her face. This kind of treatment was giving serious mental pain to Qi Huan.
This morning, Qi Huan slept dimly. Hearing a knock on the door outside, she got out of bed mechanically and put on her clothes. According to her past experience, if she did not move fast, Ming Huo would break into her room. She couldn’t say anything because she was sleeping in his palace after all. He even dared to shamelessly say that he was afraid that Qi Huan was kidnapped by some random person, so he barged in to check on her.
In the palace where two great immortals live, who would randomly come in to kidnap people? Is he too bored of living? Besides, she was not rich, it was pointless to kidnap her, even kidnapping Little Fox would make more sense.
“Come in please.” The door was pushed open, but the person who came in today was not Ming Huo, and that person didn’t have a washbasin in his hand, so it seemed that he was not here to serve her.
Qi Huan looked strangely at Ming Yan bringing an enchanting woman in a purple dress into her room. Qi Huan neither stood up nor spoke to the two. Since they had come to see her, of course, they should talk first. She didn’t know them so she had nothing to say.
“This is my mother.” Ming Yan introduced the woman to Qi Huan calmly.
“Oh, nice to meet you madam.”
