After everyone clinked glasses, they all took their seats.
However……
The awkward atmosphere is still there.
"Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned, we suddenly have three strong men in the Martial King Realm on Monday. Among them, Taiwei Niu is even comparable to a strong man in the middle stage of the Martial King Realm. We can also be regarded as the first-class force in the Dragon God Continent."
He Zai took the initiative to speak, trying to distract attention and relieve the embarrassment.
"That's right! With a strong Martial King Realm in charge, we are very stable, let alone three of them?"
Old Man Liu sighed with emotion: "As far as I know, there are so many forces that have taken refuge in our Zhou Dynasty these days, and there are many second-rate forces among them!"
"The reason why these forces have taken refuge is also very simple: we have 'three' strong men in the Martial King Realm."
"The leaders of these forces all nodded and bowed when they saw the old man, without any temper. This feeling is really wonderful. If he had not joined the Zhou family, the old man would never have encountered such a situation in his life."
Others also expressed their true feelings, and it was obvious that everyone felt a sense of belonging to Da Zhou.
"Zhou Fan!"
When Li Xinru heard this name, her beautiful eyes shrank slightly, with fear in her eyes.
In order not to be discovered, she deliberately changed her name to Li Xiaoyu. She has been keeping a low profile these days and dare not act rashly.
"Sister-in-law, you haven't seen our Crown Prince yet, right?"
"He looks so handsome!"
"Moreover, he endured the humiliation, pretended to be a playboy, and deceived everyone in the world. He is truly a god."
He Zai is trying to get Li Xinru to integrate into this circle, otherwise... it will definitely affect the relationship between Qiu Shui and this circle: "I will introduce you later."
"that is!"
Old Man Liu and others nodded, taking the initiative to show smiles and goodwill.
"unnecessary."
Li Xinru refused ruthlessly.
"..."
He Zai and others suddenly felt even more embarrassed.
"you……"
Qiu Shui's face was already very ugly. He was about to reprimand him, but then he thought of what the doctor said: quit being irritated and angry. Thinking of the kindness of the woman in front of him, he could only endure it again.
"Everyone! This glass of wine is supposed to be Qiu's apology to you."
He stood up, made a fist salute, and picked up the wine glass with an apologetic expression. Then he realized something, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he finally had to put it down.
"What are you apologizing for? I didn't do anything wrong."
Li Xinru pulled him down and sat down.
"?"
Qiu Shui looked confused and stared at Li Xinru: "You...your strength..."
He is a master in the late stage of the spiritual sea realm, but he has no power to resist!
"Spirit Control Realm!"
He blurted out: "Why is your strength improving so much faster than me?"
"Brother Shui, your talent is too low."
A flash of panic flashed in Li Xinru's eyes and she spoke.
She has been deliberately hiding her strength all this time, and even specially practiced the secret skill of concealing her aura. She never thought of exposing her strength at this moment.
"You have been busy outside these days, almost sleeping in the weapon refining workshop, and you gave me all the rewards. I hold so much money by myself, and I am bored at home. I can only buy training resources and work hard to improve my strength.
.”
She asked back: "Is it possible that you want me to take your hard-earned money and fool around outside?"
"I... naturally don't want to."
Qiu Shui is stupid, how can he be better than Li Xinru.
"That's incredible."
Li Xinru regained her composure and said, "You are such a strong woman, shouldn't you be happy?"
"Uh... happy."
Qiu Shui followed Li Xinru's train of thought completely, and for a moment he had no idea of his own.
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations!"
…
He Zai and others spoke out one after another.
However, everyone can hear that everyone does not mean what they say.
Qiu Shui's women are so powerful, Qiu Shui will definitely be controlled more strictly, and their relationship with Qiu Shui will only become more and more distant in the future.
"Thanks."
For a moment, Qiu Shui's mood was extremely complicated.
I thought that my woman was always being protected by me, but I never thought... that the person being protected was me!
"Brother and sister, you are so powerful, you can have better development in Dazhou."
He Zai thought of something and said: "I heard that the king is going to open a 'military martial arts hall'. With your strength, you can definitely find an official position there."
"Moreover, since you are a woman, it will be easier for you to enter the 'Martial Arts Hall'!"
"If my siblings are willing, I have a connection that I can introduce them to."
"That's right!"
Old Man Liu and others nodded.
"I won't go, I'll be at home."
How could Li Xinru dare to go to the Military Martial Hall, because going there would have a greater chance of meeting Zhou Fan.
"Well……"
Everyone was stunned.
Such a good opportunity, why not go for it?
You know, the salary in Junwutang is very high, and there is no danger!
"Why?"
Qiu Shui couldn't help but ask.
"There's no reason, I don't want to go."
Li Xinru naturally couldn't find any good reason, not even the reason of pregnancy.
Because as a master of the Soul Control Realm, nothing will happen to him in a non-dangerous place like the Military Martial Hall.
"you……"
Qiu Shui suddenly felt that the woman in front of him was a bit unreasonable.
"Something's wrong."
Zhou Fan looked at the scene in front of him secretly and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes: "Li Xinru! Something is wrong with you!"
When he saw that 'Li Xiaoyu' was Li Xinru, he felt that there must be something wrong with this woman.
at this time……
He believed more firmly in his judgment.
"I hope you didn't betray Da Zhou."
Zhou Fan's eyes flashed with coldness.
For Qiu Shui's sake, he could even turn a blind eye to Li Xinru as long as he wasn't the one who colluded with the Moon Emperor.
Otherwise, he will never be merciful!
Soon, the banquet ended in a weird atmosphere.
Qiu Shui and Li Xinru returned home in silence.
Mainly Qiu Shui, who was increasingly dissatisfied with Li Xinru, but didn't know how to talk about it.
"Why are you sleeping? Don't you want a son?"
"Can you have a son by lying still?"
Li Xinru pushed Qiushui and asked dissatisfiedly: "Or do you want me to have a son with another man?"
"you……"
Hearing this, Qiu Shui was very angry, but could not arouse her sexual interest.
"Are you still a man? I took off my clothes and you didn't react at all?"
Li Xinru's eyes flashed with disdain.
If it weren't for Qiu Shui's high status in Dazhou, she wouldn't look down on him at all!
"I... how about tomorrow."
Qiu Shui suppressed her inner dissatisfaction and frowned.
"Lie down."
"I'll do it myself."
Li Xinru hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to climb onto Qiu Shui's body and spoke.
Ever since the Moon Emperor was captured, she had been restless these days, always feeling that something was about to happen. After thinking about it, she decided to get pregnant with Qiu Shui's child as soon as possible. In this case...
Even if she was found to have colluded with the Moon Emperor, King Zhou would not kill her directly!
After all, she is pregnant!
And she’s still pregnant with Qiu Shui’s child!
"this……"
Qiu Shui was a little uncomfortable, especially when he saw that pink and fragrant tongue sliding down his chest, and finally...
"ah!"
He shouted subconsciously, his face turning red.
In the past, he was the one who took the initiative, and he had never enjoyed it so much. Unexpectedly, it felt completely different.
It's really amazing.
"Whoosh!"
Zhou Fan was not interested in hearing what the two had to say, so he left and searched for clues in Qiu Shui's house to see if he could find Li Xinru's 'flaw'.
Two hours later.
"This woman is really careful. She didn't leave any clues."
“We don’t even have resources in the government!”
Zhou Fan glanced at the room where the battle had ended and became interested.
Two days later.
Zhou Tianxiong was about to ascend the throne, and Ye Falcon came over: "Your Highness, the others are fine."
"Um."
Hearing this, Zhou Fan nodded, feeling more and more that the spy was Li Xinru!
"Li Xiaoyu's side..."
Night Falcon asked.
"Her name is Li Xinru."
Zhou Fan corrected: "In the past, she was an outer disciple of the Xianyun Sect, and Yan Yu was her man."
"What?!"
Night Falcon's pupils shrank.
He was naturally very familiar with Yan Yu, so his expression was a little complicated. At this time, he couldn't help but glance at the room where Qiu Shui was, and was silent for a while.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, Li Xinru quietly left the house.
"The fox's tail is about to be exposed!"
Zhou Fan frowned and was about to follow him.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the dark and followed him first.
"Huh? Qiu Shui!"
"He cast the fourth-grade divine hidden talisman!"
Ye Falcon's pupils narrowed: "This... His Highness, what should we do?"
"Follow me."
Zhou Fan didn't have any unnecessary nonsense and ducked to follow.
At the same time, he secretly helped Qiu Shui hide his presence and movements to prevent Li Xinru from discovering her.
after all……
Li Xinru was also very careful. Even if Qiu Shui cast the fourth-level Divine Hidden Talisman, he would still be easily discovered.
"Whoosh!"
Li Xinru didn't know that there were three men following her. She carefully left Qiu Mansion and came to a courtyard in the next street.
"Practice!"
"Absorb and refine these resources as soon as possible. As long as I break through to the late stage of Yuling Realm, even if I leave Qiushui... I won't be afraid of being discovered!"
She dug out 10 top-grade spiritual stones and two fifth-grade elixirs contained in jade boxes from underneath a willow tree.
Sudden.
"My remuneration cannot be exchanged for these resources."
Qiu Shui couldn't help but show up, stared at Li Xinru, and asked: "Where did you get these resources?"
"you……"
Li Xinru was startled and panicked for a moment, not knowing how to explain it.
"talk!"
Qiu Shui asked.
"You're following me!"
Li Xinru's pretty face sank and she shouted: "You care where I got the resources?"
"you……"
Hearing this, Qiu Shui was furious and couldn't bear it anymore: "I must speak clearly today, otherwise it will not be over!"
"What can you do?"
"What a coward."
Li Xinru was not afraid anymore, she knew Qiu Shui's character very well.
"You and I……"
The autumn water stagnated for a moment, and then he gritted his teeth and said: "The source of these resources must be found out. I... I want to ask the king to check you out!"
