forward to protect her and said in a gentle voice, "Xin Yao, my betrothal to her has nothing to do with you. I never had any feelings for her. Even if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't marry someone fool...Having received Mo Xuan's affirmative answer, Jun Li felt downcast this time. An expression of bewilderment appeared on the handsome face of the demon lord, "Since this king is so handsome, so excellent, and so wealthy, why doesn't she like this king"

"...."

"Mo Xuan, you say!" After much thought, Jun Liye once again turned her gaze to Mo Xuan.

Under unprecedented pressure, Mo Xuan's small frame trembled. A few more thick black lines slid down his back, "My subordinate... I don't know."

"That's right, you haven't even touched a woman, how would you know" Thus, Jun Liye went alone in infinite entanglement.

Mo Hyun: "..."

Then you ask me!

"Master, Young Master Shangguan understands a woman's heart best. Why don't you go ask him for advice" To escape as quickly as possible, Mo Xuan also helped him devise a plan.

Just as she was speaking, Shangguan Jinghong strolled in, shaking her jade bone fan with a flirtatious smile. "Oh Is Hei Xin Ye here to ask this palace for advice Do tell."

"Mo Xuan, you step back." With phoenix eyes fixed on Shangguan Jinghong, Jun Linyue felt that Mo Xuan's words held some truth. Shangguan Jinghong always frequented places of pleasure and should know women's hearts best.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Thinking about it, he dismissed Mo Xuan and pondered for a moment. Finally, he said, "Tell me, how can you make a woman fall in love with you"

"Is it difficult to make a woman fall in love with me However—" Shangguan Jinghong raised an eyebrow, her playful gaze falling on him, "Your wooden head finally cracked I thought you wouldn't be interested in women. Tell me, who have you taken a liking to"

As soon as she said that, Jun Liye's ears burned with a fiery heat, red as if they were about to bleed, feeling quite embarrassed.

Looking at Shangguan's astonished expression, he feigned calmness and said, "Cut the crap, do you know or not"

With a playful raise of her brow, Shangguan Jinghong smiled and said, "This is easy. With just your devilishly handsome face, everyone would flock to you."

"No, this won't work for her." Jun Liye shook his head. If that woman Su Qingying could be beguiled by his looks, then there would be ghosts. He didn't need to go through all this trouble.

“Oh There’s actually a woman in the world who isn’t captivated by your looks This is interesting. I wonder which young beauty deserves our esteemed Regent King to fawn over her I'm rather curious to meet her myself, perhaps she'll be mesmerized by my handsome face.” Shangguan Jinghong fanned himself and smiled, noticing Jun Liye's face darken successfully, he quickly added, "You could try appealing to her tastes. Whatever she likes, give her that. Over time, wouldn't she be touched by your sincerity"

Her preferences Jun Liye was taken aback, then seemed thoughtful. It made sense. Su Qingying, this woman, wasn't particularly known for anything else besides her obsession with silver. Approaching her through that might be easier.

Thus, after Shangguan Jinghong's guidance, Jun Li acted immediately. He ordered his dark guards to scour the land from north to south, gathering numerous treasures and sending them all to Su Qingying. The sheer quantity was astonishing.

"Princess, the regent King of Bei Ling has sent another gift. This time it's a dagger forged from millennium Xuan Iron. Where do you think it should be placed" Xi'er held an exquisite sandalwood box in front of Su Qingying.

These days, Jun Liye has been sending things to them non-stop. Su Qingying's Liu Yun Palace is almost full. She's considering applying to Xuan Yuan Locheng for a slightly larger bedroom palace.

"Oh Now that's a good thing, let me have a look." Although she didn't know what wind Jun Liye had caught to give her so many treasures, it was free anyway, and she wasn't the one begging for them. She enjoyed her leisurely life.

Su Qingying smiled and held the Xuan Tie dagger, examining it. It was small and delicate in appearance, with a weight that wasn't too light or heavy, just right for a woman to use.

With a single wave of her hand, she sliced off all the sharp edges of the entire octagonal pear-shaped table made of wood. She cut through it like butter, incredibly sharp.

"Not bad, just what I need for a handy weapon." After fiddling with it for a bit, Su Qingying found herself increasingly satisfied with the dagger.

For an assassin, a good weapon can make all the difference. Unfortunately, she wasn't used to swords, and fans were too showy. She didn't have the mental formulas for the ancient moon qin, so she couldn't wield it freely. This dagger, however, suited her perfectly.

In the study, Xuan Yuan Luocheng also heard that Jun Liye had collected all kinds of rare and exotic treasures and sent them to Liu Yun Palace. He frowned for a moment, unable to guess his intention, "I see, keep an eye on him and report to me immediately if there's anything unusual."

"As you command."

Two flowers bloom, each representing one branch.

"How is it going What's Su Qingying's reaction recently" After finishing his official business, Jun Liye sat in Jinyang Palace and immediately summoned Mo Xuan to inquire about the situation.

He has, according to Shangguan Jinghong's instructions, sent Su Qingying quite a few good things already, but judging by the current situation, the effect doesn't seem to be very good!

Mo Xuan said, "Reporting to my master, the Fifth Princess of Dongyue didn't react much."

Su Qingying still ate and slept as usual, sleeping and eating. She received all the rare treasures sent to her, but she didn't show any reaction at all.

"Did she mention anything about this king" Jun Liye gritted his teeth, his brows furrowing into a tight knot, and asked stubbornly.

“……Yes.” After much hesitation, Mo Xuan spoke in a low voice under Jun Li Ye's eager gaze, recounting Su Qing Ying's words from the previous day. "She said, 'What got into Jun Li Ye Did he get hit on the head or something' That's all she said about you."

After blurting out the sentence at lightning speed, Mo Xuan quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Jun Liye's face. He knew it must be dreadful!

Indeed —

"Bang!" A deafening roar echoed as the rosewood inlaid table before Jun Liye shattered into pieces. His handsome face turned a sickly pale, and his eyes glinted with suppressed anger. "That clueless woman!"

"Blackheart Night, what did Mo Xuan do to deserve you being so angry" Hearing the commotion inside, Shangguan Jinghong strolled in with leisurely steps, a crimson robe draped across her alluring figure, radiating an undeniable charm.

Jun Liye glared at him, her icy eyes almost freezing him into an ice sculpture. Shangguan Jinghong subconsciously shivered, goosebumps erupting all over his body.

"What kind of scheme is this It's not even working!" he said angrily.

Shangguan Jinghong's phoenix eyes shone like stars and the moon, her smile as cunning as an old fox. "What's the rush You can't just give her presents; you have to get close to her. Strike while the iron is hot. You've given enough gifts, tonight you should ask her out and really cultivate your relationship."

"Ask her out" A flicker of surprise crossed Jun Li Ye's exquisitely handsome face, as if he were seriously considering the suggestion.

The day's affairs were finished, the sky and river were a single expanse of color without a speck of dust, and a solitary moon wheel hung in the sky.

The night sky was cool like water. Su Qingying stretched lazily, just about to rest, when suddenly a white figure flashed past her eyes. When she came to her senses, she realized that Jun Liye was carrying her and had flown out of Liuyun Palace.er, Su Mo Yun apparently didn't notice the eerie atmosphere on the scene. Her back was straight as a board, and she couldn't stop feeling proud and ecstatic in her heart."But..." Su Qingying raised he...
