âRemember to toss the handkerchief after youâre done.â
She has a phobia for cleanliness, and she doesnât like to share things with other men except for Di Cang. Even if the said item was a handkerchief, thatâs no different.
âIf Yan Yan donât need this anymore, can I keep it instead?â Mo Li Shang held the red fabric with glowing eyes.
âNo, you must toss it afterward.â Bai Yanâs tone was unwavering and non-negotiable.
Making a somewhat aggrieved-looking face, âWhy?â
âBecause Emperor Cang doesnât like other men to take in my things, even handkerchiefs.â
Because Di Cang didnât like it of course....
Bai Yanâs eyes were heavy as those lips evoked a bitterness in the mouth at the recollection.
When did Di Cang have such a significant impact on my decisions?
Mo Li Shang was stunned. Staring intensely into the womanâs eye, the young man suddenly bellows out a laugh, âI understand then and will respect your wish. But I am very envious of him to be able to make Yan Yan care so much about his opinion....â
âWhen you meet a woman you like in the future, you wonât need to be envious.â
Bai Yan also fell into a laughing fit. In her mind, sheâs also finding this situation hilarious because itâs so unlike her to be concerned about a manâs opinion.
Showing a blank face, Mo Li Shang sounded doubtful: âA woman I like? Will I really meet a woman like that?â
âOf course you silly. Enough, weâve spent so much time here already so letâs keep moving. I can see a small town up ahead, letâs rest there for a while before continuing our journey. I also want to inquire some news from the locals if possible.â After saying this, Bai Yan didnât wait and began walking again.
......
Unlike the rest of the domain where itâs like hell itself, this town was bustling with life. Restaurants, teahouses, all the works with plenty of customers.
Bai Yan and Mo Li Shang had taken a seat in one of these teahouses since itâs the most likely establishment to gain information.
âHey, did you hear about the incident that occurred at the monarchâs residence?â
Itâs then a gossiping voice pulled the demon queenâs attention. Looking over to that direction, she could see a man clad in green armor clamoring wildly at his audience.
âWhat incident? We know the monarch has sent out a lot of people for something, but no one knows what exactly.â The one saying this was a big burly man who had a long scar running down his face.
âHoho, this is something I overheard by accident as well.â The man clad with green armor grins cheekily, âthe monarch is married, did you all know that?â
Married?
The sound of the whole teahouse instantly evaporated, leaving the whole crowd popping their eyes in surprise.
The monarch is married?
The woman that is regarded as the goddess of this world is married?
Who knows how many men would be dropping down and crying if this news is passed out.
âThe news of the monarchâs marriage isnât made public yet, but I do know something special.... You know, the husband, the lucky guy, heâs currently missing!â The green armored man continues to explain with a cocky grin.
âWhy did the monarchâs husband disappear? What exactly happened?â
âOur location is too remote so I guess none of you heard anything. But according to the rumors from the city, itâs a woman who seduced the husband....â
