Lin Shanshan had important matters to attend to, so Luo Xiu chose not to disturb her and went ho alone to prepare dinner. Her new ho was a vast courtyard deep within the Imperial Palace.
As soon as Luo Xiu arrived, he desperately sought out Hua Muyan, who was busy planting flowers in the yard. He had already spotted her earlier while observing the Imperial Palace with his Divine Sense and had wanted to co find her imdiately. Compared to Xia Chan, Hua Muyan was better able to help him suppress the side effects of his Nine Yang Constitution.
"Master... you're back..." Upon seeing Luo Xiu, Hua Muyan's eyes brimd with tears. All the worries and fears she had harbored for the past three years vanished in that mont.
Luo Xiu strode forward and scooped her into his arms, his movents both domineering and rough. Hua Muyan cried out in surprise, so startled that the watering can fell from her hands.
He looked down at her tender, dewy red lips and smirked. "Yan'er, will you enter my body first, or shall I enter yours?"
Hearing this, Hua Muyan punched him indignantly. Her cheeks flushed as she said shyly, "The mont you return, all you know how to do is bully ."
"..."
「In the blink of an eye, night fell.」
The small sun created by Lao Ba sank slowly in the west, and darkness enveloped the earth. Lin Shanshan had shed her magnificent Empress robes for ordinary, modern Earth-style clothes. When she returned to the large courtyard, she happened upon Luo Xiu and Hua Muyan preparing dinner together.
In the grassy area of the yard, the grill was laden with all sorts of barbecued food—all of it her favorite Demonic Beast at. There was also her most favored Imperial Marrow Brew.
"Dad, Auntie Hua, you two carry on. Just call when it's ready. I'm going to take a bath first," she said before vanishing, showing no intention of helping.
This feels a bit like being a househusband waiting for his child to co ho from work, Luo Xiu thought suddenly.
...
As ti passed, the other won returned ho one by one. When the Empress of Yanhuang first arrived on Yan Huang Star to take up her post, she specifically had Zuo Qianhuang build this large courtyard as her personal residence. The idea was for everyone to live together, making the place feel more lively.
Upon seeing Luo Xiu, Zhang Yi shouted with excitent and pounced on him fiercely. With an acrobatic leap, she landed on his neck, tackling him to the ground.
"Sisters, let's get him!"
In a rare mont of playfulness, Xu Qianqing was the first to join the fray, teaming up with Zhang Yi. Su Shanyue, ever the quiet one, simply walked over and gently tugged on Luo Xiu's ear.
Luo Qianye, who always loved to stir up trouble, suddenly suggested, "We're all tired today. As punishnt for our Great Ancestor Emperor, after dinner, he's going to give each of us a massage!"
"Great idea!" Luo Ying clapped her hands in approval.
Luo Xian shook her head helplessly. Looking at her pitiful younger brother, she asked, "If it's just massages, isn't that letting him off too easily?"
Hua Muyan spoke in a peculiar tone, "I just hope certain people don't scream too loudly in the middle of the night and wake everyone else. We all have things to do tomorrow."
At her words, the won's faces turned crimson. They imdiately began to puml Luo Xiu again, venting the three years of longing that had built up in their hearts. Pinned to the ground, Luo Xiu never had a chance to speak, silently taking the beating without daring to fight back.
...
"To think that I, the great Emperor Shura, who extinguished the Sword Fire, slaughtered the Heaven Moon, and was renowned across the Three Thousand Worlds... have now fallen to being bullied by a group of won. How tragic!"
"Still talking back? Sisters, get him!"
"So what if you're Emperor Shura? Is that supposed to be impressive? I'm beating up Emperor Shura!"
"Show those abs! Let touch them! Hurry up, I'm the one in charge here!"
"Darn it, you dare to resist?"
"I'll wreck you today!"
"Alright, alright, ladies, I was wrong..."
"Apologizing won't help! We're still going to beat you!"
"..."
"Crown Prince, Lao Ba is here to save you!" a distinctive, squawking voice suddenly echoed through the courtyard, carrying an imposing might. "You pack of fiends, let that man go! If you've got the guts, co at !"
Lao Ba descended from the sky, flapping his wings. However, before he could even land, a single punch from Zhang Yi sent him flying.
The tornted Luo Xiu pushed himself into a sitting position. He looked at Lao Ba and Black Fatty, noticing that the fur on the two dolts had grown back, even blacker and shinier than before.
Lao Ba scrambled to his feet and chuckled. "What do you think, Crown Prince? Stunned by my beauty?"
Luo Xiu cursed, "You two bastards, hurry up and help! Can't you see I'm getting beaten up?"
Lao Ba trembled and hastily backed away, his earlier bravado completely gone. Over the past few years, he and Black Fatty had been bullied daily by this group of won and were thoroughly traumatized. The once-mighty Divine Beast Golden Crow and Youming Ghost Wolf had been reduced to manual labor—hauling bricks, carrying lumber, and even tilling fields like common mules.
"What are you standing there for? Get over here!" Luo Xiu urged.
Lao Ba coughed twice and said seriously, "You have to say, 'Crown Prince, please help .'"
Luo Xiu's face darkened. "Get lost."
"..."
Just then, Master Ping erged from nowhere. "Well, you all seem busy. I think I'll go grab so grilled kidneys to replenish my strength."
"Well, hello there, Fat Master!" Lao Ba's eyes lit up, and he eagerly tried to cozy up to him.
"Scram! Who the hell is 'Fat Master'? Don't try to get chummy with . You can't afford to associate with the Master Ping of today!"
"..."
「The next day.」
Luo Xiu awoke in a large bed to find Lao Ba and Black Fatty lying beside him, with Master Ping sprawled on top of him. As for the won, they were long gone. He had drunk far too much Imperial Marrow Brew the previous night, and without using his cultivation to suppress the alcohol's effects, he had ended up in a complete ss, thoroughly embarrassing himself. He vaguely rembered a dice ga where he was fleeced so badly by the bar-savvy Zhang Yi that he wouldn't have recognized his own mother. To make matters worse, he had lost a bet and agreed to spend the next three days with her.
"Sigh!" Luo Xiu raised a hand to his forehead and let out a long sigh.
"Mmm... good one... chug another for , Master Ping..." Master Ping mumbled in his sleep. He then turned over and hugged Luo Xiu, his chubby cheeks nearly smashing into Luo Xiu's face as his fat belly rubbed continuously against him.
With great effort, Luo Xiu managed to shove Master Ping away, roll out of bed, and flee the room.
After washing up and changing, Luo Xiu went into the courtyard and found Zhang Yi practicing her techniques.
"Brother Luo Xiu, you're awake."
"Yeah. Did you sleep well?"
"Not at all," Zhang Yi said with a pout.
"Why not?"
Zhang Yi giggled. "Because you weren't there with ."
Luo Xiu was speechless.
She walked over and clung to his arm. "So, where are you taking to have fun today?"
"..."
