I am the villain, plundering the destiny of the heroine.

The first man in my life...

Zhou Furong's clenched fists loosened unconsciously, and the resentment in her heart towards Li Xu's unfaithful behavior also dissipated at once.

"It is precisely because I am always thinking about Your Highness, Leng'er and others that I rushed back to the Imperial Capital as soon as I got rid of the life-and-death crisis." Li Xu continued to explain.

"Your Highness has resentment towards me due to misunderstanding. I can understand that, but I must explain clearly that I really did not elope with Cheng Susu in the first place. I had no choice but to do so!"

So, I was wrong to blame you for being unreasonable...

Zhou Furong pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes wandering as she spoke in a whisper: "Sister Xia gave birth to a girl."

Li Xu was stunned, and the next second he felt indescribable excitement in his heart.

It’s good to have a daughter!
If I give birth to a son, I’m afraid he will make me more angry than I make Lao Deng!

"After you were taken away by Cheng Susu that day, although Li Chunfeng told mother not to worry about your safety, mother still felt deeply guilty and thought she had failed to protect you." Zhou Furong then told Li Xu the news he wanted to know.

"Out of guilt and compensation, the Queen Mother accepted Sister Xia as her disciple and brought her to the palace to teach her personally."

"Forty days ago, Sister Xia gave birth to a daughter. Li Chunfeng came to visit her at that time. He originally wanted to give the child a name, but Sister Xia said that she would wait until you come back before giving her a name. So Li Chunfeng temporarily gave her a nickname, Nannan."

"NanNan..."

Li Xu repeated it softly. As he listened to Zhou Furong's story, his heart surged. He wished he could teleport to Xia Lengbai and her daughter to accompany them immediately.

However, Zhou Furong's next words were like a wake-up call, leaving him stunned.

"The reason why I sneaked out of the palace to find you is all because of my sister. She...she is about to give birth."

"?"

Li Xu was incredulous: "Royal sister? Which one are you talking about, Zhou Lingyu?"

Zhou Furong raised her head and glared at him angrily, "I only have one sister, who else can you be talking about!"

"..."

Li Xu was stunned: "No! Zhou Lingyu is the crown prince, how could she be about to give birth?"

"Do you think my sister wants to have a baby? If she's pregnant, she's pregnant. What can she do about it?"

As she spoke, Zhou Furong's tone changed from angry to worried: "At first, I advised my sister to abort the child. Once people find out that she is pregnant, her female identity, which she has painstakingly hidden for many years, will be completely exposed. By then, when my father is furious, I am afraid that even my mother will not be able to protect her."

"But the imperial sister insisted on not having an abortion. She said that she was already walking on thin ice in the palace, and whether she had this child or not, the risks she would take would not change at all."

"But in fact, the risks that the princess is taking are increasing day by day. As time goes by, all the ministers who usually come into contact with the princess say that the princess has gained weight recently."

Zhou Furong said helplessly with a headache: "I can't help my sister at all. I'm afraid that one day someone will reveal the fact that she's pregnant. I really can't think of a solution, so I can only come out to find you, the culprit who harmed my sister!"

Li Xu: "..."

He actually wanted to refute that he was not the culprit. That night at Wolong Villa, Lin Dong and other monks from the Heavenly God Temple had originally planned to assassinate Zhou Lingyu. Strictly speaking, he was the one who was implicated by her.

Moreover, if I didn't help Zhou Lingyu to melt the silver poison when she was poisoned by the happy beans, she would have died on the spot. I was clearly saving her, so how could it be said that I was harming her?

"Answer me now, how are you going to treat my sister? If you don't tell me a foolproof plan, I will never forgive you!"

Seeing that Li Xu fell into silence and was reluctant to express his opinion, Zhou Furong directly questioned and urged him.

Li Xu thought about it and made a compromise proposal: "This is an easy thing to do."

"Your sister just needs to find an excuse to go out and tour the country on behalf of Emperor Yan, wait for a year or so, and then return to the Imperial Capital after giving birth."

Zhou Furong was stunned. She never expected that the serious matter that she regarded as an urgent matter could be solved by Li Xu's casual words!
"What happens after the baby is born?"

Li Xu said without hesitation: "I can accompany Zhou Lingyu on the tour, and leave the baby to me after the birth."

When Li Xu first learned that Zhou Lingyu was pregnant, he was shocked and extremely surprised, but now that he has calmed down and thought about it carefully, he feels that this may not be a bad thing for him.

According to the development of the original plot, Emperor Yan will die suddenly in a year at most. With this child, he will consolidate his relationship with Zhou Lingyu, and he will no longer need to worry that she will escape from the capital city and raise the flag of rebellion like in the original book.

"I'll give the baby to you after it's born..."

Zhou Furong hesitated slightly: "Will you treat the child as your own?"

"..."

Li Xu was suddenly asked by her and he didn't know the answer.

"No, your sister is pregnant with my child, right?"

"Of course!"

Zhou Furong was furious: "Who else but you, a lecherous thief, could defile my sister?"

"That's fine."

Li Xu said bluntly: "Don't worry, I have always been brave enough to take responsibility. Whether it is the child or Zhou Lingyu, I will definitely take responsibility to the end and will never let them get hurt!"

This promise instantly dissipated Zhou Furong's accumulated anger and also successfully completed the purpose of her going out to find Li Xu.

After a short silence, she lowered her head and glanced at the bottom of the bathtub with her beautiful eyes as if casually.

"I have to be responsible to my sister... then, what about me?"

"to you?"

Li Xu certainly understood that Zhou Furong also wanted him to be responsible for her, but he did not respond so directly, because he knew very well that with her arrogant personality, if he did not give an appropriate answer, he would definitely be scolded by Zhou Furong as a "lecher".

So, Li Xu thought about it and asked politely: "Are you pregnant too?"

"..."

Zhou Furong bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, her sweet cheeks flushed hotly.

"Come and take a look... then you'll know."

"Where are you looking?"

……

……

At the same time, on the corridor on the top floor of the inn, Xiao Yan looked out at the silent night scene of Jinling City in the distance, and his heart was filled with unprecedented excitement!
"In half an hour, it will be time for Dad to test the sacrificial formation on behalf of that being."

"Miss Zhou, there won't be any more accidents this time. I will definitely take you down completely!"

"You are destined to be devoted to me and me only. You must marry me wholeheartedly. No one can stop you!"

Earlier, Zhou Furong went back to her room to rest. In a subsequent conversation between Xiao Yan and Li Xu, Xiao Yan heard another piece of good news from him, which was that Zhou Furong had no engagement at all. The reason she lied about being engaged was just a cautious measure for her to navigate the world.

Although Xiao Yan didn't mind when he first heard Zhou Furong say that she had a fiancé, and even though she was already married and had children, it still couldn't change Xiao Yan's determination to win her over at first sight. However, it would be best if he could get a completely innocent Zhou Furong!
"Miss Zhou's brother, Li Jiuri, is a very nice person. He praised me in various ways. It's a pity that his cultivation is too high and he is blocking my way. Otherwise, I really don't want to do anything to him."

Xiao Yan pondered secretly.

In his plan to capture Zhou Furong's heart, the attack by the two Tianfu elders just now was actually a very important step.

After that wave of heroic rescue of the beauty, even if he failed to win Zhou Furong in one fell swoop, he was sure to gain a lot of her favor initially. With this wave of favor as a foundation, the second step of "a friend in need is a friend indeed" can be carried out more smoothly.

However, because Li Xu suddenly appeared, he not only failed to save the beauty, but also lost more than he gained, and even lost two fourth-grade elders.

It would be fine if the hero's rescue was ruined, but the main thing is that if Li Xu stayed by her side all the time and the sacrifice formation was activated later, with his unparalleled cultivation, he would definitely become the backbone of Zhou Furong when she was in distress, and she would not have a chance to show herself at all.

"Because of Miss Zhou, I won't kill you, but I can't avoid crippling you."

"A third-grade fusion realm, this combat power is enough to dominate the martial arts world, but in front of my Tianfu, it is completely insufficient."

With this in mind, Xiao Yan took out a strangely shaped jade pendant from his pocket and continuously poured spiritual power into it, conveying his location to the Tianfu elders hiding in Jinling City.

"If you can kill two fourth-rank cultivators instantly, how will you respond if I call over ten third-rank elders or even my father in person?"

Muttering to himself, Xiao Yan's eyes sparkled with a gleam of light.

……

……

"Where are you looking?"

In the room filled with snow-white spring light, Li Xu's tentative question seemed to silence Zhou Furong.

The girl gritted her teeth secretly, and after holding it in for a long while, she soon became angry and said unhappily, "It's up to you to watch or not!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of Li Xu, who had been facing the bathtub, suddenly turning around.

"It's a little far away, I can't see clearly, can I come closer and take a look?"

Zhou Furong remained silent. Out of a basic sense of shame, even though she was prepared, her hands were still unconsciously clasped in front of her to cover herself.

"Your Highness didn't say anything, so I took it as Your Highness's consent."

Li Xu was afraid that Zhou Furong would suddenly blurt out the word "lecher" again, or that she was playing a trick on him, so he carefully observed the expression on her rosy face while cautiously walking towards the bathtub.

Facts proved that he did get Zhou Furong's tacit consent. Even until Li Xu walked to the bathtub and took in the other's seductive look with her arms around her body, Zhou Furong kept her chin down and did not scold him.

...You seem to be serious about following me!

Li Xu's mouth suddenly became dry, and for a moment he could not bear the tacit approval of Zhou Furong. He felt that it was not right for him to turn around, nor was it right for him to continue staring at her.

Li Xu swallowed his saliva calmly and said calmly, "Your Highness's belly is smooth and flat, and you don't look pregnant."

"…Did you see it clearly?"

Because Zhou Furong's face was buried very low, Li Xu could only see her pointed chin and rosy little mouth, but could not see the changes in her expression from her nose upwards. Just as he was about to answer that he saw it clearly, he suddenly saw her loosen her arms that were wrapped around her body, and the white cat in the boudoir trembled.

"this!"

Li Xu's pupils suddenly dilated.

"...Look closer."

Zhou Furong bit her lip and said.

Li Xu swore! This was the most delicate and gentle girl's voice he had ever heard in all the time he had known Zhou Furong!
At this moment, he couldn't tell whether the arrogant princess was pregnant or not, but he could see that Zhou Furong was determined to get herself pregnant tonight.

"it is good."

"Then I'll take a closer look..."

Li Xu would never go against a girl's wishes, not to mention that what should and shouldn't have happened between him and Zhou Furong had already happened once half a year ago.

He leaned forward as he was told and slowly moved towards her fair and dazzling belly. Just before he was about to kiss her snow-white and beautiful skin, Zhou Furong, who had been shyly lowering her head, suddenly raised her head, held Li Xu's cheeks with both hands and boldly kissed her on the lips.

“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…”

"Does this count as someone actively pursuing me?"

While Li Xu was getting excited, an extremely subtle and strange feeling arose in his heart.

It’s a shame to say that, although there are enough beauties around him, but before tonight, Li Xu has never tasted the feeling of being pursued by a girl.

No matter it was Leng'erguai sister, Li Tianai, Luo Meiyu, Hua Youwei, Cheng Susu and others, it was Li Xu who took the lead in making unreserved efforts, and then gradually captured the hearts of the girls and fell in love with them, except Zhou Furong.

Before he accidentally melted the beans for her, Zhou Furong obviously despised and hated him. Who would have thought that when they met again half a year later, she would open her heart to him and be so devoted to him!
Especially when he thought about how Zhou Furong had sneaked out of the palace alone to find him, the strange feeling in Li Xu's heart suddenly became more subtle, and even his kissing movements immediately turned gentle, as if he was afraid of melting the little beauty in front of him with his kiss.

"Slut..."

Zhou Furong suddenly separated their lips, her beautiful eyes watery and she gasped: "From now on, you are not allowed to bully me... and my sister..."

"As for Sister Xia...she worshipped my mother as her master, so she should have called me Senior Sister. But after I quietly told her that you had ruined her innocence, she started calling me Sister..."

Li Xu: "..."

He suddenly realized!
No wonder you call me “Sister Xia” so naturally, it turns out you had already discussed this with Leng’er!

"I have never bullied Your Highness, not before, and certainly not in the future."

Li Xu promised, holding Zhou Furong's slender waist and beautiful buttocks with his hands, and carried her out of the bathtub in a real princess hug, then strode towards the bed next to him.

"Who said I've never been bullied..."

Zhou Furong's face was so red that even she felt scared, and she snuggled tightly in Li Xu's arms.

"You wore a cloak and pretended to be a thief... You forced me to the point of drawing my sword and committing suicide. That was bullying... Yeah!" (End of this chapter)
