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

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh."

Li Xu was extremely devoted to the kiss with his good sister after half a year. He held Xia Lengbai in his mouth for fear that she would melt, and held her in his hands for fear that she would fall. He then hugged her delicate body and pressed her against the wall of the alchemy room, controlling and dominating everything about his beloved wife from the inside out.

"Husband, I...I gave birth to a child for you."

Xia Lengbai's defense was weaker than Zhou Furong and Li Tianai. After being pressed against the wall for only a few moments, she was already being hugged and kissed. Her peach blossom eyes, which had originally been filled with tears of joy, quickly turned into ones of passionate charm.

"I know."

Li Xu briefly separated their lips, stretched out his hand to hook up Xia Lengbai's snow-white and beautiful right leg, and asked her to stand with her left leg standing on one leg, which seemed quite strenuous.

"Let's not talk about the child now. I want to take a good look at you."

In fact, before coming to Changle Palace to see his beloved sister, Li Xu was extremely looking forward to meeting his daughter whom he had never met. But now when he saw Xia Lengbai, his mind was full of his beloved wife's beautiful and shy appearance. He wished he could immediately make up to Leng'er all the debts he had accumulated during his disappearance for half a year.

In comparison, I am not so anxious to see my daughter. After all, I can see her anytime, but it is not always possible to make up to my good sister with such a priceless moment of spring night.

"Husband... I haven't bathed yet..."

Xia Lengbai lowered his head, shyly looking at his indecent standing posture with his left leg standing on one leg, and stammered:
"I just finished refining the elixir. I'm sweating all over. Let me go back to my room and wash up..."

“No need to clean.”

Li Xu shook his head to interrupt, and rubbed his nose against the shiny sweat covering her beautiful neck. He took two deep breaths in fascination, and felt the orchid-like and musk-like feeling, which was extremely refreshing. He whispered softly:

"Even Leng'er's sweat smells good. I just like the smell of Leng'er!"

"Husband..."

Everything about Xia Lengbai belonged to Li Xu in the first place, and after being conquered by his sweet words, she was immediately aroused to the point of wanting nothing.

She also knew that her husband must have missed her terribly since he had been away from the capital for so long, so she no longer suggested taking a bath.

Her delicate body was tensed into a perfect bow. After a moment, she asked anxiously, "Husband...how is it?"

Li Xu paused for a moment and smiled, "It's no different from before I had the baby."

"As long as my husband is satisfied!"

Xia Lengbai was completely relieved, and her delicate hands struggled to support the wall behind her.

……

……

Although Li Xu initially told Xia Lengbai not to go back to the room to take a shower, but when the good sister got tired of standing on one leg, Li Xu couldn't bear to see her exert herself too much, so he finally let her take him back to the room.

The room where Xia Lengbai lived was not far from the alchemy room, and was also on the first floor of Changle Palace. According to her own words, when Li Xuyi was taken away by Cheng Susu, Luo Meiyu took her as her personal disciple out of guilt, and brought her to Changle Palace to teach her by example.

"Husband, originally Master was planning to accept Sister Hua as his disciple..."

In the lively bathtub, Xia Lengbai was like a well-behaved and docile white cat in the boudoir. She leaned softly in Li Xu's arms and told him what happened after he left Dijing City.

"But Sister Hua said she knows Cheng Susu's background."

"In order to find out where Cheng Susu took her husband, Sister Hua left a letter and left without saying goodbye, saying that she would come back to tell us when she learned more about Cheng Susu from Baihua Valley. But now half a year has passed and she has not returned."

Li Xu gently stroked her smooth snow-white back and nodded: "Zhou Furong told me about this on the way back."

"After a while, I will go to Baihua Valley to pick up Youwei in person."

Li Xu just found out this afternoon that Hua Youwei returned to Baihua Valley for him. Now the threat from Emperor Yan is imminent, and he must wait until he gets rid of Emperor Yan before he will have the energy to go to Baihua Valley to pick up Hua Youwei.

Although he was very concerned about Hua Youwei, he was not too worried about her safety. After all, she was the Holy Maiden of Baihua Valley. Returning to Baihua Valley would be like returning to her own home, and she would not easily encounter danger.

"Sister Rong has found my husband."

Hearing Li Xu mention Zhou Furong, Xia Lengbai's tone instantly turned ashamed: "Sister Rong also quietly left the Imperial Capital alone in order to find the whereabouts of her husband."

"When I heard the news that Sister Rong had run away, I actually wanted to go out with her to look for her husband, but..."

"How can you get out?"

Li Xu kissed his beloved wife lovingly and interrupted her, "You just gave birth to a child. If you leave, who will take care of the child? You can't expect my father, who is so busy, to come."

"The child can...can be left to the care of the master." Xia Lengbai hesitated.

Li Xu was stunned for a moment, then he laughed: "Leng'er, you are too polite to your master."

"Master not only teaches you how to practice alchemy, but also helps you take care of your children. Who is the master between you two?"

"This……"

Li Xu continued happily: "Moreover, Zhou Furong also told me that Master has been in seclusion for more than a month. Even if she wants to help you take care of the child, she can't."

Xia Lengbai was silent for a while, then hesitantly said, "Husband, I will tell you a secret, you cannot tell anyone else."

"Oh?"

Li Xu raised his eyebrows, curious: "What secret?"

Xia Lengbai hesitated, but finally told him the truth: "Master is not in seclusion recently, but...she is pregnant."

"!!!"

This unexpected remark was like a slap in the face to Li Xu's forehead, which stunned him for a moment.

The first thought that came to his mind was: Yu'er is also pregnant?
Is she pregnant with mine or Emperor Yan's? ?

If it was my child, then the time between the last time she committed the crime in front of Emperor Yan and now would be right...

"Also, although Master didn't tell me, I feel that she is not pregnant with Emperor Yan's child."

As if hearing Li Xu's shocked voice, Xia Lengbai continued to say: "The reason why the rumor of Master's retreat spread more than a month ago was to conceal her pregnancy and prevent others from seeing her belly."

"She was very worried that His Majesty would find out that she was pregnant. In the past six months, His Majesty came to visit Master several times, but Master always gave him a perfunctory response."

...I'm worried about being discovered by Emperor Yan, so isn't it a foregone conclusion that this child is mine? !

Li Xu was completely certain of the identity of the baby in Luo Meiyu's belly. After all, she had been the queen in the palace for more than ten years and still remained a pure virgin. Only someone like him could have met her by chance. "Leng'er, how did you know that Master was pregnant?"

Li Xu forced himself to suppress the complicated and unspeakable emotions in his heart and asked.

"My master hid it from me at first, and locked herself up on the second floor in the name of seclusion. But after I gave birth to my daughter, she suddenly came down one night to visit my crying daughter." Xia Lengbai explained.

"Master asked me to help her hide her pregnancy, and also suggested that she help me take care of her daughter. She wanted to experience what it's like to be a mother in advance."

...No wonder you were so friendly with Yu'er just now and even said that you could let Yu'er help you take care of the child. It turns out that Yu'er has really been helping you take care of the child recently!

Li Xu's heart became more complicated, and he asked thoughtfully: "Is Nannan with Master now?"

"Yes." Xia Lengbai nodded. Only then did she feel embarrassed for breaking her promise with Luo Meiyu. Her pretty face turned red and she said hesitantly:
"We can just discuss this secret of Master in private. My husband, please don't let Master know that I betrayed her."

...You are really a traitor between Yu'er and me!
Before coming to Changle Palace, Li Xu was still worried about how to persuade Luo Meiyu not to go along with Emperor Yan. But now, after learning from Leng'er that Luo Meiyu was pregnant with his child, Li Xu was shocked and felt complicated, yet also a little inexplicably excited.

He felt that he could not only persuade Luo Meiyu to draw a clear line between herself and Emperor Yan, he was even confident that he could persuade Yu'er to help him kill Emperor Yan!

Luo Meiyu is not only a first-rank cultivator, but she has also practiced the heavenly-level technique, the Burning Fire Art. Her combat power is undoubtedly among the best in the world. Even for the sake of Li Tianai and Li Chunfeng, Li Xu must try to win over this top foreign aid!

"Crack!"

Li Xu kissed Xia Lengbai's blushing face heavily, hugged her tightly and said, "Don't worry, how could I make things difficult for you, Guaileng'er?"

"Since you told me the master's secret, I will tell you one too."

"...What is it?"

Li Xu paused, slowing down the speed at which his good sister's waist swayed in his arms like a willow in the wind, and lowered his voice a little: "Emperor Yan is going to kill us."

Xia Lengbai was shocked: "Huh?!"

Li Xu then told her in detail about Emperor Yan's plan to ally with Tianfu to destroy millions of people in Jinling City.

"How can your majesty be so heartless!"

Xia Lengbai was extremely surprised. She had already considered Emperor Yan a tyrant because he ignored state affairs and had confiscated her entire family. However, the secret that Li Xu told her still broke through the bottom line of her impression of Emperor Yan's incompetence:
"He is the emperor, and he is usually incompetent and unjust, but now he has teamed up with the martial arts sects to kill the people under his rule!"

"Shh, be quieter."

Li Xu made a gesture to silence her: "We can only find out what Emperor Yan wants to do after he is removed from office."

The reason why Li Xu did not tell Zhou Furong the true identity of Emperor Yan was, firstly, because he was afraid that Zhou Furong had a bad psychological quality and would show abnormality in front of Emperor Yan, and secondly, because she was Emperor Yan's daughter, and when she did not know about Emperor Yan's conspiracy, no matter how cruel Emperor Yan was, he would not hurt his daughter for no reason.

Xia Lengbai is different. As his wife, once Emperor Yan and Li Chunfeng fall out, if she stays in the palace with her child, she will be killed by Emperor Yan. Therefore, Li Xu must let her know the truth so that she can be prepared.

"Leng'er, listen to me."

Li Xu comforted him, "Even though Emperor Yan is crazy now, my sister, my father and I are fully confident that we can deal with him. You don't need to worry."

"Tomorrow morning, go find your master and ask for the child back. Then leave the palace and return to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Let Sun Bo protect you."

"This storm will not last long, Emperor Yan will soon get the ending he deserves!"

The words that come out of Li Xu's mouth always give Xia Lengbai an incomparable sense of security.

She mustered up her courage and made up her mind to be irreconcilable with the tyrant: "I will follow my husband's arrangements."

……

……

It was dawn the next day.

After Xia Lengbai and Li Xu finished their morning exercises, according to the plan they had agreed on last night, she went to the second floor of Changle Palace and asked Luo Meiyu to return her daughter on the pretext of breastfeeding.

"Nannan, she is indeed as pretty and lovely as her mother."

Looking at the cute baby girl brought back by Xia Lengbai, Li Xu felt that his heart was melted by his daughter and he couldn't help but reach out to touch and tease her.

The baby girl was not afraid of strangers. She blinked her big black eyes and kept staring at Li Xu and smiling, occasionally making a few babyish "ooh" sounds.

"Husband, I only gave Nannan a nickname. Do you want to give her a formal name now?"

The warm scene of her husband and daughter getting along with each other made Xia Lengbai feel very sweet, and it seemed that even the huge crisis lurking in the dark was alleviated a lot.

"You should come up with the name."

Li Xu is very self-aware in this regard: "You are the most talented woman in Dayan, and your name must be better than mine, so I won't show off."

Xia Lengbai had been waiting for Li Xu to come back to name her daughter. She had even declined Li Chunfeng's offer. She was startled when she heard that. After thinking for a while, she looked at him with the same tenderness and affection as her daughter and nodded, "Okay, I'll think of a name for our daughter in the next two days."

Li Xu teased his beloved child for a few last moments, then reluctantly took his hand back and told Xia Lengbai, "Leng'er, take your daughter back to the Xiangguo Mansion now."

"Remember, don't go out once you return to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Let Sun Bo protect you until Emperor Yan is finally executed."

Xia Lengbai knew that she could not provide effective assistance to her husband. The only thing she could do for Li Xu was to protect herself and her daughter when the chaos came. She also reluctantly told Li Xu: "Husband, you must be careful. My daughter and I will wait for you to come back."

She stood on tiptoe, gave Li Xu a farewell kiss on the mouth, then walked out of Changle Palace holding the baby girl, looking back every few steps.

Li Xu stood there and watched her go away until his wife and daughter disappeared from his sight. He took a deep breath, retracted his gaze, and turned his eyes to the second floor.

He was not worried that Xia Lengbai would be stopped by Emperor Yan's men on his way out of the palace. Emperor Yan had not yet broken off his relationship with Li Chunfeng and was still in the stage of disguising and planning a conspiracy. He would not easily reveal his true colors.

Even if Emperor Yan really sent someone to secretly intercept Xia Lengbai, Li Xu had left a jade talisman containing the Dao rhyme of time and space on his beloved wife. Once Xia Lengbai was in danger, he could instantly move away through the Daluo Time and Space Method.

"Next, we have to find a way to deal with Yu'er."

"If she helps to deal with Emperor Yan, the chances of victory for me, Li Tianai, and Lao Deng will definitely increase greatly!"

Thinking to himself, he walked up the stairs to the second floor.

Although Changle Palace had been rebuilt, its architectural structure was exactly the same as before. Li Xu soon arrived outside Luo Meiyu's boudoir.

Luo Meiyu had taught him the Fire-burning Technique in this boudoir, and the scene of soaking in the aphrodisiac bath that night was still vivid in Li Xu's mind. (End of this chapter)
