Xige let out a deep sigh before slowly opening her mouth, "But I say, this lady named Su Nuo is really not that great. She looks ugly, but there's nothing good about her." That sentence was definitely not a joke.

Xi Ge indifferently shrugged his shoulders. "Okay, if the Mausoleum of Tombs just takes care of me like this, then I'll be happy. This way, I can be a ghost that can play everywhere." Then he looked at Xi Ling with his eyes, as if he was secretly smiling.

"In the future, don't let me hear such words. Otherwise, even if it's you, I won't be courteous!" Xi Ling said.

However, Xi Ge immediately burst into laughter. He held his stomach and laughed until it hurt. He said while gasping for breath, "Ling Ling, you, you also have such a day? It's really, really, really cute."

Xi Ling's face was very dark, but he did not refute.

With great difficulty, he stopped his laughter and said: "Mausoleum of Books, but we siblings also have to make up our own accounts. Say, this time, I'm risking my life to save you, and also your beloved one, so you have to repay me. This is a rule that our Xi Family has always followed." Just thinking about how she was forced to be this empress made Xige so angry that her teeth itched.

The Xi Clan had nine children, and it should be said that these nine children were fighting to the death for this supreme throne. Not to mention that it was her turn to become the empress, but once they reached the Xi Clan, everything had changed. Everyone was unwilling to live a life without benefits, and they all wished that they could live a carefree life. Therefore, the old emperor had no choice but to pass on the throne to his eldest son through the most primitive method. Although the eldest son was extremely unwilling, but with the teachings of his ancestors there, he could only grit his teeth and accept it.

Thus, his eldest son did everything he could to transfer this tiring task to his younger brother. Finally, Huang Tian did not disappoint the hardworking, and after he had helped his second brother out, he willingly gave the throne to his second brother. From then on, there was an unwritten rule in the Xi Dynasty that the eighth princess would become the empress of Xi Ge, and now that Xi Ge had helped Xi Ling, she naturally went straight to the main topic, throwing this hot potato to Xi Ling as soon as possible.

Surprisingly, Xi Ling was silent for a moment before saying, "I know."

He was so straightforward that he didn't even refuse, leaving Xige stunned. She couldn't tell if it was a dream or a reality, as she had always wanted to go out with the person she loved for a long time, but she had never been given the chance in Xiling, and now —

"Mausoleum, it can't be that you've been peeping at the throne for a long time, right? It's just that you're too embarrassed to say it out loud." Xige felt that her brain was unable to process what had just happened.

Xi Ling disdainfully snorted. "You think I would care about something like that."

Of course not, no one in the Xi Family liked this kind of thing. Xige chewed on her brain juice as she tried to figure out what had made her brother accept such a lousy position.

"I want to have the right to protect idiotic women." Xi Ling spoke.

Xige's mouth dropped open and she blinked. It took her a while to understand.

However, Xi Ling continued, "I won't just watch as that idiot girl is taken away by Bei Chen Han the second time." In fact, Xiling had always remembered the incident in the Village of Longevity. To him, it was a painful humiliation.

Xi Ge did not laugh anymore: "You are afraid that Bei Chen Han will wake up, and you will be able to break his own hope to find Su Nuo. So, you must become stronger than Bei Chen Han, right?"

Xi Ling did not reply, but his eyes were filled with determination.

These days, Su Nuo was really depressed. She looked at the many men who looked similar to her mausoleum, but none of them were her mausoleum.

They told her that Mausoleum would be back soon and told her not to worry. Su Nuo saw that he looked like her older brother, who claimed to be her mausoleum. She believed him, but even after waiting so many days, her mausoleum still didn't come.

Also, why did she wake up in this strange place? Her elder sister should be very worried.

However, no matter how she asked, the seven good-looking men around her continued to stare at her, as if they were looking at a flower. Su Nuo was truly depressed, but in the end, she was too embarrassed to speak.

"What are you doing?" Suddenly, a disgruntled voice sounded from behind him.

Su Nuo was clever. It was the voice of her mausoleum. Without even thinking, Su Nuo ran over. When she saw that it really was her mausoleum, she immediately rushed over. "Mausoleum, why did you come back so late?"

"Wa — —!" Su Nuo tightly held Xi Ling. The seven men shouted out in unison. Xi Ling's face instantly darkened, but he didn't push Su Nuo away. As he let her hold him, the voice became louder and louder.

It was not easy for Su Nuo to let go of Xi Ling, but her crying face was indescribably pitiful. However, both of her hands were tightly holding onto Xi Ling's sleeves, refusing to let go.

"You idiot woman, why are you crying? Did they bully you?" Xi Ling glared fiercely at the seven men who were gloating.

Su Nuo shook her head. Xi Ling really couldn't stand Su Nuo's tears. She really wanted his life.

"Yes, or no, something happened." Su Nuo finally spoke with great difficulty.

Xi Ling was stunned. He did not expect that the idiotic woman would be so sensitive. Xi Ling said, "You idiot woman, what are you thinking all day? What can happen to you?" Xi Ling spoke viciously, but when he saw that there were still tears on Su Nuo's face, he raised his hand to help her wipe them away. "Don't cry, you're already so ugly. If you continue to cry, you'll be too ugly to see."

"Wow …" The seven men were once more frightened by their family's incomparably arrogant little brother.

The way Xi Ling looked at them was as if he wanted to kill them. To stir up such chaos for them at this time, he must be tired of living.

Su Nuo blinked at him. "Really?"

"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?" Xi Ling said.

Su Nuo thought about it and agreed, "Ling, I believe in you." After a pause, he asked, "Then what about elder sister?"

Xi Ling was slightly stunned. He recalled that night when Bai Qian was lying on the ground covered in blood, his face incomparably pale. He knew that this matter was not to be let the idiotic woman know, so he said, "Your sister is naturally doing very well."

Su Nuo nodded and asked again, "Then will elder sister also come here?"

"He will." Without waiting for Xi Ling to finish speaking, Su Nuo smiled happily and quickly asked, "Then when will elder sister come?"

Xi Ling looked at her with a smile and said, "Not now."

"Why?" Su Nuo was at a loss. Her pair of black and white eyes were clearly visible.

"Because your sister has her own life." Su Nuo still didn't understand, but Xi Ling's tone softened. "You stupid woman. Think about it, you already have me. Don't tell me you want your sister to have only you?"

In an instant, Su Nuo understood and said in surprise, "Ling, you mean that big sister also has someone that she likes, right?" She remembered what her sister had said. She didn't like that annoying man at all.

"Yes." Xi Ling nodded. "That's why, when your sister has had enough sweetness with her lover, she will remember that you have come. That's why she came to see you." Xi Ling's tone had a hint of 'you've been abandoned'. "So now, you have to make good use of me. Otherwise, no one will want me anymore."

Upon hearing his words, Su Nuo's heart that was originally hanging in the air suddenly calmed down, and she became immersed in joy.

Three years later, in the Southern Champion Kingdom.

Su Nuo looked at the scene in front of her. She was so angry that smoke was about to come out of her eyes.

There was nothing in it. Today, the King of the Eastern Yue State — Hua Zhiru — was as famous as Nanke. He had come to pay a visit and had even brought along a beautiful woman who played the zither very well.

Xi Ling had always loved the zither, and it was rare for him to meet someone that caught his eyes, so he naturally took a few more glances at them.

Su Nuo also knew that her mausoleum loved the zither. When she woke up at that time, she could see her mausoleum playing the zither all day long, but she didn't see it much afterwards.

Su Nuo was so angry that her cheeks bulged. With a final, heavy grunt, she left. The maids who had peeked behind her all snickered gloomily, thinking that there would soon be a good show to watch.

However, it was not his fault that Su Nuo's temper had gotten worse over the years. Who told Xi Ling to care so much about her? In the end, she could not even bear to lose her temper in front of her.

This time, Su Nuo humphed very heavily. The people inside obviously heard this, and Xi Ling had really been engrossed in it. All these years, Su Nuo had been constantly trying to increase his strength and was too busy to play the piano. This snort instantly pulled Xi Ling back to reality. With a glance, he saw the maid outside who did not have the time to stop smiling. Without thinking, Xi Ling stood up and was about to leave.

Shifu was taken aback by the sudden entrance." Brother Xi Ling, are you —

Xi Ling Li ignored him and directly left. It could be said that if the idiotic woman got angry, she could be mad at him for a long time, and when she saw him, she would snort heavily. After that, she would make him unable to eat anything made by the idiotic woman, and even preventing him from going to bed.

Before the animal husbandry man finished his sentence, Xi Ling had already disappeared. He murmured, "If I knew, I would have gotten down to business."

The person at Xi Ling's side said, "His Majesty won't be coming back for a while." They were already used to this kind of situation.
