No one would ever be able to conquer the world alone. The best way was to strike a balance between all forces and have them suppress one another. If power were to tilt towards one of the forces, the world would probably come to an end.
“Alright, I will listen to whatever my lady says.” Si Mobai’s voice was gentle and adoring, very different from the cold tone he used when he spoke to other people.
After clearing her doubts, Feng Tianlan lay down. She felt safe and relieved to have him by her side. She fell asleep in an instant. Si Mobai couldn’t bear to leave her. He just watched her sleep by her bedside.

Qi Hongan called Tu Xiupei and Qi Shujie into his study room after sending someone to help Xi Jin and the others settle down.
“What’s going on? How are Feng Tianlan, Luo Yunzhu, and the others still alive? Also, Feng Tianlan’s appearance has changed!” Every time Qi Hongan recalled how he had actually kneeled in front of Feng Tianlan, he felt extremely humiliated.
When he thought about not being able to kill Feng Tianlan and being forced to bear all his hatred and suffer like a hollow man, he gritted his teeth in anger. “Everything went smoothly at first. The assassins even self-destructed. However, the Supremacy appeared and saved everyone. They even slaughtered all the assassins.”
“Why didn’t you send a letter to tell me that they are still alive?” This miscommunication was what resulted in his kneeling down to Feng Tianlan. He had never kneeled in front of an emperor before in his whole life. The only time he kneeled was that day when the Supremacy arrived.
“The Supremacy was around, so it was not convenient for me to send a letter. If the fact that we were the ones who sent the assassins were to be found out, they would definitely direct their anger towards the Flying Frost Pavilion. I was afraid that our lives would be at risk then,” Qi Shujie said. If he could have sent a letter, he would have done it ages ago. It would be easier for them to hire assassins to attempt another assassination as well, however, he hadn’t dared to do it.
Qi Hongan’s dark face didn’t become any brighter. It became gloomier instead. “What about Feng Tianlan? Is the person beside her really the Demon Wargod, Si Mobai?”
He had heard rumors about the Wargod, but he had never seen him in person.
“Feng Tianlan knew that the Supremacy was coming, hence she took the Beautifying Pill to restore her looks. She wanted to take this opportunity to seduce the Supremacy, then change her status from a chicken to a phoenix.” Tu Xiupei felt extreme hatred whenever she thought about the fact that Xi Jin kept looking at Feng Tianlan.
“Despicable woman!” Qi Hongan muttered angrily. “What about the Demon Wargod, Si Mobai?”
No matter how strong Si Mobai was, he shouldn’t be a match for the Supremacy. However, how did he hurt him with such ease? Could it be that Si Mobai had already achieved the strength of a Spiritual Emperor in his twenties?
“He has been bewitched by Feng Tianlan. He listens to whatever she says. Besides, it seems like he has traveled to the Xuantian Continent and joined a small sect. Brother Jin didn’t argue with him because of the power of that sect.”
Upon hearing that Xi Jin was stronger than Si Mobai, Qi Hongan’s expression became better. Feng Tianlan was hard enough to deal with. If there was another powerhouse aiding her, it would be extremely hard for him to do anything to her.
“What about you? Why were they calling you Dai’er?”
After hearing those words, Qi Shujie hmphed, showing his discontentment.
“It was Brother Jin. He mistook me as his childhood playmate who grew up with him. Therefore, the reason he is here this time is to take me back to Xuantian Continent.” After saying those words, Tu Xiupei felt quite proud.
Shen Yunya once told her that Shen Qingdai’s beauty was on par with Feng Tianlan’s. Since she was similar to Shen Qingdai, she must be an extreme beauty, even if it meant that she had to use Shen Qingdai’s identity to get close to Brother Jin. However, she believed that one day, Brother Jin would like her as Tu Xiupei.
“Really?” Qi Hongan’s eyes brightened up.
“Father, I want to marry Tu Xiupei.”
While Qi Hongan was still feeling excited by this, his excitement was snuffed out by Qi Shujie. His face instantly turned sullen. “What did you say?”
Qi Shujie grabbed Tu Xiupei’s hand and declared loudly, “I have already had intimate relations with Pei’er like those between a husband and wife.”
