Having such a formidable opponent is a terrifying thing in itself.

It seems increasingly difficult to deal with Chaoge now.

Chaoge's national strength is growing stronger and stronger; in just one year, it has increased by almost three or four times.

Although Xiqi's fortune seems quite strong, it now appears rather small compared to Chaoge's fortune.

If Xiqi were to launch a rebellion, it would likely be a massive, all-out war.

The outcome remains to be seen.

"Marquis of the West, you may eat the meat brewed here, but may you also eat the rebellious ones?"

Ye Xuan's words were calm and understated, but to Marquis Ji Chang of the West, they sounded like thunderbolts.

Such a foolish ruler actually said something like that? Letting himself eat his elder brother?

"Your Human Emperor, this man, Ji Chang, is edible!!!"

These words were slowly uttered from his mouth after a long time, as if he had used up all his strength. His originally robust body began to tremble at this moment.

How can he possibly return to Xiqi if this continues?

How could they possibly face the people of Xiqi?

He only knew that if he couldn't get past this hurdle, the brutal Human Emperor would likely kill him on the spot.

Ye Xuan looked at this guy and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He hadn't expected this guy to be so ruthless.

They could even agree to something like eating a living person.

They've actually endured this much?

If he can agree to this, what is there that he can't do?

Ye Xuan couldn't help but shake his head with a cold laugh.

Actually, there's nothing particularly special about it.

He can eat his own son, so it doesn't really matter if he eats other people's food.

At this moment, Ji Chang, looking utterly dejected, stared blankly at Zi Qi.

Zi Qi's even more vacant gaze also turned to look at Marquis Ji Chang of the West.

The two looked at each other, and for some reason, they both grinned at the same time.

One of them is the person who is about to be eaten.

The other one is a cannibal.

It's hard to say who is more miserable.

Ye Xuan turned to look at Ji Chang, and saw that the aura emanating from Ji Chang was indeed somewhat strange.

In terms of fortune, Ji Chang still possessed considerable luck.

However, the aura emanating from him was strange, with a soaring crimson light rising up, more like some kind of evil power than luck.

The original intention was to break his luck, causing it to plummet and thus creating a major flaw in Xiqi's luck as well.

It now appears that his idea has clearly failed.

Ji Chang's fortune did not decline drastically; it still existed, but a major change occurred, and it was unclear whether it was a blessing or a curse.

It was almost noon when I returned to my palace.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Xuan finally decided to go and see the Empress.

The Empress was a woman as gentle as water, and even Ye Xuan was extremely fond of her.

Since he transmigrated, he has only visited the Empress once, which is far too few times.

Ye Xuan slipped inside quietly by himself, only to find Empress Jiang eating alone.

Ye Xuan appeared silently beside her, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Why is the meal so simple?"

Empress Jiang was startled when she heard the voice. She turned around abruptly and was surprised to find that it was His Majesty the Human Emperor, who had not appeared for a long time.

He immediately stood up and bowed.

"His Majesty has arrived?"

Would you like me to arrange your meals again?

Ye Xuan smiled slightly, but did not speak. Instead, he walked to the opposite side and quietly looked at Empress Jiang.

This woman, as gentle as water, has recently lost some weight.

"Empress Jiang, how long has it been? How come you've lost so much weight?"

His tone carried a hint of blame, though he was somewhat distressed.

Perhaps influenced by the will of Di Xin, Ye Xuan felt a pang of sympathy for the woman before him.

Upon hearing the Human Emperor's words, Empress Jiang smiled shyly.

"Wouldn't it be better if you were thinner? Doesn't His Human Emperor prefer a slimmer figure?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan was stunned.

When did I say such a thing?

Empress Jiang smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten what you said? You said you liked the kind of figure that looks slim but has curves to the touch--------"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan was utterly embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, Empress Jiang took his casual remark seriously.

"Then your figure doesn't count? You've lost too much weight lately, you're too thin, it makes me a little worried."

Empress Jiang blushed slightly upon hearing Ye Xuan's words.

Seeing Empress Jiang's somewhat shy expression, Ye Xuan couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He then embraced her stunning figure, and Empress Jiang nestled lightly in his arms.

"I've been quite busy these days, so I haven't been able to visit as often. Please don't take offense, Your Majesty."

Ye Xuan chuckled as he groped her all over.

In truth, he was somewhat unsure how to face Empress Jiang.

Empress Jiang was worthy of her status in terms of figure, appearance, and demeanor.

She was already a stunning beauty, and with her gentle, water-like personality, not only Di Xin, but even Ye Xuan was quite captivated by her.

Holding the beauty in his arms, Ye Xuan felt incredibly content at that moment.

A cool breeze carries tidings, the autumn moon shines endlessly, yet my longing for my beloved makes each day feel like a year.

By sheer coincidence, Ye Xuan recited this well-known love poem.

Hearing these words, Empress Jiang was completely melted.

Although His Human Emperor the Emperor visited less often, one could still sense Human Emperor lingering affection for her.

At this moment, she especially missed the Human Emperor's embrace. Lying in the Human Emperor's arms, listening to the Human Emperor's love poems, she was completely captivated.

After a long while, a flash of light appeared in Ye Xuan's hand.

Then came an exquisitely crafted ring.

"Your Majesty, look what this is!"

He then handed it to Empress Jiang.

Empress Jiang took it in her hand and was immediately astonished.

"Your Majesty, what kind of treasure is this? It's so strange!"

The object in her hand was dazzling and extremely beautiful.

Ye Xuan took it in his hand and gently slipped it onto Empress Jiang's slender fingers.

"Your Majesty, this item is called the Ring of Protection, symbolizing eternal love."

"It is said that if a man is sincere and personally gives both of them to his beloved woman, they will never be separated."

Upon seeing its dazzling and incomparably precious value, Empress Jiang burst into tears.

In fact, this ring was a treasure that Ye Xuan took out of the Gold Gourd.

This ring is just a regular Postnatal ring.

However, wearing it on the body is believed to nourish the physical body and protect the spirit.

Even if the physical body is captivated by this ring, it can still protect the soul, ensuring the true spirit remains intact.

This would give them a chance to be revived.

In addition, it also has some minor effects such as prolonging life and restoring youth.

Numerous demons and monsters were completely unable to get close to this ring.
