I thought he would explain, tell me what was going on, say to me: things aren't what you think they are.

However, he didn't say anything.

With my clothes falling to the ground, my tears could no longer be held back.

"Jiang Qiyun, what do you think I am... If all you want is for me to have your child, I'm already carrying your child. Can you let me go Please don't bother me again Is it very entertaining for you to play with me like this" I asked through tears.

I didn't expect him to answer. He's always been cold and distant with me. He wants me to get pregnant, so I can't take my medication.

But I don't have his profound cultivation to separate feelings and reason.

He lifted me into the bathtub and turned on the shower. The hot water streamed down on me, making me shiver slightly, like a doll being played with.

He asked softly, "One moment it's torture, the next it's coercion, now it's manipulation... how many more accusations are there"

I trembled slightly, pulling out a sneer: "Isn't that right You're so happy to see me miserable"

He let out a cold snort, turned off the shower, and wrapped me in a large towel before tossing me onto the pristine bedding.

He soon held me captive in his arms, then pulled the covers over us.

"Qingrui is my attendant, tasked with reincarnating to hunt down the Ghost King and complete the sealing formation. I named her Qingrui. Do you have any questions about that That's just her name." Jiang Qiyun said heavily above my head.

I was taken aback for a moment, just about to look up when his big hand grabbed my cheek and forcefully tilted my head upwards.

"She did serve me in the underworld a hundred years ago, but so what She was my attendant, it was her duty. Do you really think I haven't touched a woman in three thousand years" He explained forcefully, but I refused to accept it.

"Yes, you are the emperor, it's only natural that you have many women! I'm just one woman who happens to be useful!" I stiffened my neck, my cheeks aching from his grip. This was so humiliating, but I couldn't care less. In front of him, I never had any dignity, shame was commonplace.

"Mu Xiaoqiao!" he shouted impatiently.

I saw the gold flecks in his eyes swirling quickly, as if anger were about to erupt.

"Do I have to say it again There's no one else, my wife is only you!"

My tears flowed non-stop, my wife is only one, but women are plentiful!

“My wife, she only has you.” He frowned and spoke slowly. “Before… after…”

"My Lord Emperor, you needn't make such a promise," I said, weeping and laughing. "You are a revered deity, living as long as the heavens themselves. I am merely a mortal who doesn't know when he will die. In your eyes, my lifespan is but a blink. Why speak of the future When I am gone, you can have other women, other wives. I have no future, while you... you cannot promise me one!"

I'm such an idiot, tears soaking my pillow.

"Ugh... cough cough..." I was choked and my eyes were red.

He let go of me, narrowed his eyes and slowly said, "From now on, there won't be anymore!"

When my brother arrived, I was standing in the parking lot with red, swollen eyes waiting for him.

He glared at my wrinkled clothes, furious. He shouted, “Damn it, who bullied you Was it Mu Yunliang His parents are bedridden after the beating. Just wait until I catch him; I'll break his legs!”

I chuckled as I took my backpack, saying with a smile, "Jiang Qiyun bullied me. Do you want to break his legs"

My older brother glared at me: "If I had the guts to fight him, I'd have gone with the sun this morning!"

He sighed, reaching out to clasp my shoulder. He whispered in my ear, “Little Qiao, it’s not that I’m saying you’re wrong, but you’re just too innocent! If you had a little more guile, knew how to play your cards right! With how much Jiang Qiyun needs you, you should have him wrapped around your finger by now! You let him bully you Come on! Want me to carry you”

I… I really have no patience for my brother anymore.

My brother dragged me slowly up the mountain gate, berating me all the way until my face was flushed.

Tomorrow is the Ninth Day of the Ninth Lunar Month, and he plans to visit this Qingyu Taoist Temple first. As soon as we stepped through the mountain gate, we saw Old Madam Shen leading several female Taoists out from the main hall.

Her sharp gaze swept over me and my brother, and she said coldly, "Disrespectful! Making a fuss in this place of cultivation!"

My brother was taken aback. He'd never met any of my mom's relatives before, and didn't immediately understand who this old woman was. However, my brother wasn't one to be taken advantage of, regardless of age or seniority. Anyone who was disrespectful to him would get it back tenfold.

“A narrow-minded person only sees things in a negative light. My sister wasn't feeling well, so I helped her climb the stairs. What's wrong with that Why do you see it as a big deal Have you ever been in love Would you call holding hands with someone 'robbing them' You sound so pure, have you even gotten married”

I quickly reached out to cover my brother's mouth, but it was too late. His string of insults had already been fired off.
