"I’m not going there to seduce him," Huang Bai Xing’s eyes narrowed.
"In fact, I planned to return to Earth and I need to cooperate with him," she continued.
"I thought you’re in a relationship with him," Shenlian Yingyue said, totally unaware of this plot twist.
"Relationship?" Huang Bai Xing thought back to the past.
She met Ji Fulin at an exhibition pavilion where people showcased their artworks. A piece of antiques caught her eye and his at the same time, for no other reason than that it was from Earth.
As they got to know each other better, they discovered that they were from different eras, but their shared interest in the antique brought them closer. However, they had never had a romantic relationship.
"That night, I visited him to clarify why he suddenly married Di Xiuyu," Huang Bai Xing crossed her hands on her chest and sat in a crossed-leg posture.
It turned out he just wanted to use Di Xiuyu’s power.
"You mentioned that piece of antique caught your both’s eyes. Where is that antique now?" Shenlian Yingyue asked, surprised.
"Fulin tried to bid for it, but failed. I did a little trick and we managed to acquire it. The antique is now with him," Huang Bai Xing said matter-of-factly.
She was capable of achieving anything she set her mind to.
"Are you planning to return to the 25th era? What about your family here?" Shenlian Yingyue was puzzled.
"I won’t be staying there forever. I just need to see someone," Huang Bai Xing’s expression turned slightly melancholic as she thought about the impossible between her and that person.
However, all she wanted was to see him. It was enough to see him once again.
Shenlian Yingyue carefully scrutinized Huang Bai Xing’s face.
"Speaking of which, how can you escape Emperor Ji’s grasp?" Huang Bai Xing changed the subject.
"It’s a long story. Do you know his identity?" Shenlian Yingyue responded, stuffing a soft cake into her mouth.
This shop was owned by Huang Bai Xing, who had brought in a variety of modern-era delicacies, including food, drinks, and snacks that were all delicious.
However, Shenlian Yingyue had never seen or tasted anything like this before, as Huang Bai Xing was from the future world.
"I don’t know, but he gives me an unsettling feeling," Huang Bai Xing said, tasting the soft berry cake and nodding in approval. "You shouldn’t provoke him."
Her subordinates had become increasingly competent under her leadership.
"Do you think I’m free enough to provoke that person?" Shenlian Yingyue asked, speechless, as she took a sip of the bitter tea.
Drinking the bitter matcha tea after eating the sweet cake refreshed her throat and gave her another sensation.
"Where did you get the matcha plants from?" Shenlian Yingyue suddenly asked.
"I obtained them from the Sunset Mountain in the Outer Domain," Huang Bai Xing replied, tossing a bag of matcha seeds to Shenlian Yingyue.
"Thank you!" Shenlian Yingyue’s eyes sparkled with gratitude.
"It’s I who should be thanking you," Huang Bai Xing said seriously, her tone slightly cold but her eyes overflowing with deep gratitude. "You helped me and my family reunite and saved my father and our family."
Shenlian Yingyue waved her hand dismissively. "I’m from the Huang family too."
Huang Bai Xing raised her lips with a vague smile.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. "Knock, knock!"
"Why is he here?" Shenlian Yingyue asked.
