Was it time to decide?
No, wait a little longer.
If he abandoned Yaomo's physical body, he would have no way to protect himself anymore.
Chi Yu had no idea what Wu Yunsu was thinking. He came over, scooped him up, and said, "Since it's New Year's, it must be lively outside. Let's go out and have some fun."
"Yay!" Xiaoqiu said happily.
Just then, Duyu pushed the door open and came in, announcing loudly, "It's New Year's Eve today. His Majesty has invited you to join the family banquet. If you're going out, make sure you're back by the hour of the monkey."
Chi Yu said, "Dinner at the hour of the monkey? Isn't that a bit early?"
Duyu said, "What are you talking about? Isn't that when you mortals eat dinner? They say it's good for the spleen and stomach."
Chi Yu was surprised. "Is that so?"
"It is. My family always ate dinner at the hour of the monkey. We wouldn't eat anything after that," Xiaoqiu said.
Chi Yu checked the time. It was eight in the morning, leaving plenty of time to return before the hour of the monkey, so he readily agreed.
Once they were outside, he noticed Duyu following them and asked, "Brother Duyu, why are you coming with us?"
Duyu said, "To look around with you, of course. His Majesty's orders."
Hearing him mention His Majesty every time he opened his mouth, Chi Yu finally couldn't help probing a little. "Brother Duyu, why hasn't His Majesty married yet? He doesn't even have any children. Doesn't that shake the foundations of the state for an emperor?"
Duyu immediately answered, "That's His Majesty's freedom. Besides, he has me. Who would dare shake the foundations of his state?"
Chi Yu: "..."
Chi Yu shut his mouth.
