Righteousness and pure love, yet you ask me to spread demons throughout the world?

After being led astray by Xiaoye, Fu Hai felt that Sister Die letting Xiaoye hold him hostage wasn't as good as Xiaoye. But ultimately, he was upright and kind-hearted, and quickly realized, "This isn't right!"

The plan was devised by him; he would only talk to Miss Butterfly and act as her hostage. This was a plan he had come up with himself.

Because he understands Miss Butterfly better than the Six Doors, and if anything unexpected happens, he can immediately explain it to Miss Butterfly.

He forced Butterfly Girl to make a choice between his safety and the safety of the entire An County, and the lives of many children, and then blamed Butterfly Girl for not valuing him more.

Fu Hai was inexperienced after all. He seemed to have heard the phrase "I'm just feeling sorry for my brother" online in his previous life, but he didn't know under what circumstances he heard it.

Thinking about it carefully now, something just doesn't feel right.

However, Sister Butterfly went through fire and water to protect Anjun, and she even made it up to him this morning, which is naturally very good.

It's so nice that Xiaoye cares about me so much. Am I the one who's bad?

At this moment, even the boy was a little confused.

Fortunately, he remained clear-headed and immediately thought, "No, no, I didn't do anything wrong. This isn't another world where you can only marry one of Setsuna and Touma."

"The key issue is that Xiaoye and Sister Die were enemies from the beginning. That night, Xiaoye was chased by Sister Die and so many people and almost died. If they really become unrelated in the future, that's fine. The problem now is that the two of them may very well become sisters-in-law in the future."

"I won't go into the fact that sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law are often naturally incompatible. The main point is that Xiaoye is worried that if Miss Die really becomes her sister-in-law, she will drive her away, so she subconsciously rejects Miss Die."

【Ding! 】

[Detection indicates that the host's secret assassins, Ye Liuxiang and Murong Die, are at odds, engaging in fratricide. This will inevitably affect the host's future domination of the world.]

This is a crucial matter. The host is advised to resolve this issue as soon as possible!

[Issue the mission "The righteous path and the evil path are both paths": Simultaneously, be honest with both women, making them understand that the front hall and the back hall are one family, and that flying left and right are two separate paths. This will allow them to reconcile and serve the future evil lord together, laying a common foundation for his dominance.]

[Reward upon completion of the task: 100 points!] Fu Hai pondered this suddenly appearing task for a while, until it truly remained unchanged.

Compared to the previous "Shattered Moon? Dream?" and "Any woman will do", this is different.

Isn't the reward for "both the righteous path and the evil path are the way" too meager? Just 100 points? Who are you looking down on?

To be honest, I didn't want to complete those two tasks at all.

Did the system forcibly change "宫" to "菊" and "宋灵月" to "夏月蓝" and then count it as my work?

This "righteous path and evil path are both paths" nonsense, do you think I care about these 100 points? Haha!

"Brother, what's wrong?" Little Ye asked curiously, tilting her head to look at him. "Why aren't you saying anything?"

The slightly oversized dress, as she tilted, revealed her smooth, fragrant shoulders and delicate collarbones. Half of her snow-white breasts were exposed, swaying gently, incredibly alluring.

Speaking of which, Little Night Sister and Butterfly Sister, one small and one big, each have their own unique characteristics. If you really put them together on the tatami mat, they could take turns coming to the front hall and the back hall, flying left and right together...stop.

Stop thinking about it!

But... but the system gives 100 points... 100 points is so much.

For the sake of those 100 points, it's not impossible to reluctantly complete this task. Seeing him suddenly fall silent, Xiaoye's resolve hardened.

My brother hasn't even married that female knight-errant yet, because she's angry with me.

If that female knight-errant really enters the house and becomes my sister-in-law... can I still really consider this place my home? She slowly lowered her head.

Her once bright eyes gradually dimmed, the star-like pupils within turning into flickering phosphorescent lights, reflecting her mood as fragile as a candle in the wind. Fu Hai noticed his sister's sudden melancholy, so he sat down on the stone bench beside her and took her in his arms.

He lifted the hem of her skirt and reached inside, revealing slender, smooth legs. He whispered in Xiaoye's ear, "Why aren't you wearing anything underneath?"

Little Ye rolled up her sleeves and said shyly in her brother's arms, "Sister Lingyue's stockings are too long for me. She said she would take my measurements this evening and then go to the city to have a few pairs of clothes and pants made for me, and also buy me some skirts."

“You helped everyone last night, but in the end you could only leave like that,” Fu Hai hugged her and asked softly, “Are you sad?”

Xiaoye, nestled in his arms, felt as if her bones, which had grown cold, longed to feel the warmth she once knew: "I'm used to it now, I'm... not so sad anymore."

Fu Hai sighed softly to himself, then opened his strong arms and hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to melt her into his embrace: "No matter what, this is your home, and it will always be your home."

"No one can get rid of you!"

Xiaoye stretched out her hands and hugged his waist tightly.

The gradually cooling bones slowly warmed up again, as if they had returned to the world of the living from a gradually sinking tomb.

Holding his younger sister's hand, he walked into the mountains. When they reached the training ground, they saw Xia Yuelan practicing her sword. Seeing the two of them, Xia Yuelan stopped and waved, "Senior Brother! Xiao Ye!"

Her voice, as cheerful as a magpie finding an insect, instantly enlivened the entire Xiaodiancang Mountain.

The three of them met up, and Xia Yuelan pulled Xiao Ye aside: "Have you decided which room to stay in? How about the same attic as last time?"

Fu Hai knew that his junior sister was referring to the time when he was urinating in the backyard and turned around to see the three of them watching him from the upstairs room.

Xiao Ye pointed: "Can I stay over there? The one next to the library." Xia Yuelan said: "Oh, that's so far? Why don't you stay with us?"

She enjoys lively gatherings, and it's rare to have another person in the mountains. Besides, Xiaoye has seen a lot over the decades. If Xiaoye is staying near the library, does she really have to travel that far to talk to her?

Xiaoye said, "There are many books over there. When you have nothing to do, you can read there."

“There are quite a lot of books there,” Xia Yuelan said. “I often browse through them, but the really valuable ones have all been sold off. What’s left are just some unwanted tales of the strange and supernatural, which are actually quite interesting.”

Xiaoye looked up: "Sold?"

“The Dragon Claw Sect of Xiaodiancang Mountain has to pay several hundred taels of silver every year to secure a spot,” Fu Hai explained to her. “It was fine when there were many disciples in the mountains, but later the number of people decreased until the martial arts schools at the foot of the mountain could no longer operate, so they turned into inns.”

"The inn's income is barely enough to make ends meet, but I'm afraid I won't be able to pay this year. He thought that now he can only rely on his novels."

But Xia Yuelan clearly didn't think her senior brother's novels were reliable.

Holding his sword, he was brimming with confidence: "Once I master swordsmanship, I'll join the righteous path like Miss Butterfly, capture those bandits, collect the bounties, and supplement the sect's income... Oh dear!"

Fu Hai flicked her on the head: "You're not allowed to go!"

Chapter 81 The Empress and the Ruyi Changchun Technique

Xia Yuelan held her head, somewhat dissatisfied: "Why? I'm at the eighth realm now!"

"Eighth realm is already very powerful. Most of the young heroes and heroines in the city are at eighth or ninth realm. Not everyone can reach seventh realm." Fu Hai wanted to say, "Don't do such a dangerous thing."

The so-called chivalrous way, apart from a few people like Miss Cao who truly have a chivalrous heart and are willing to do their best for the safety of the county.

The vast majority of them actually rely on violence to earn a living by risking their lives. Don't look at those bounties; they may seem like quick money, but they are earned by risking their lives.

How could he let his junior sister do such a dangerous thing? But saying it like that probably won't make much of a difference.

So he said, "Because we run an inn, and inns have always been a neutral zone in the martial arts world. People from the Six Doors and the Righteous Path stay here, and criminals and outlaws also stay here."

"Didn't you see that Miss Die has no fixed abode? Doing this kind of thing means you'll be targeted by enemies at any time. When you go to arrest people for rewards, those who are arrested or killed also have relatives and accomplices. If they come to us for revenge, wouldn't Sister Qiu Ying be the first to suffer?"

Anyone who dares to come looking for Sister Qiu Ying will die even faster, and might even have their entire family wiped out. But Xia Yuelan didn't know that. She looked up and thought for a moment, then said, "Yes!"

Fu Hai knew his junior sister's temperament. If you told her that doing this kind of thing was too dangerous and would make people worry about her safety, she wouldn't know how to handle it and would just think it was okay.

If you tell her that you've gotten your revenge and attracted the enemy, what about others? She'll become much more cautious.

Xiao Ye said softly, "The two times I woke up, the world was generally peaceful, so this kind of chivalrous path still seemed quite glamorous. In the past, when the world was in chaos, without strong power, no one dared to be a knight-errant in the martial world."

"Furthermore, decades ago when the government was corrupt, these martial arts practitioners who cooperated with the government were called lackeys."

She raised her head, lost in thought: "The time I woke up more than ten years ago, the world was truly at peace, and there was a sense that no one would pick up lost items on the road. This time, although it feels much better than during the chaotic times, it is still far from the last time."

Fu Hai shrugged: "There's nothing we can do! Back then, after a long period of chaos, order was finally restored, and people longed for stability. In addition, when the Empress had just pacified the world, she killed countless bandits, tyrants, and traitors, so the world was at peace."

"Now the new powerful and tyrannical are attached to the vested interests who followed the Empress in the last campaign. It is easy to kill others, but difficult to cut off one's own sores and limbs."

The law of dynasties is a problem that is difficult to solve in any era and any world, and it is independent of individual will. This is something Fu Hai learned from history books in his previous life.

Xia Yuelan tapped her cheek with her finger: "Speaking of which, I heard that Her Majesty the Empress is as beautiful as a flower, but she is still unmarried and there is no crown prince in the court."

"What will we do then?"

Fu Hai said irritably, "Is this any of your business?"

He couldn't help but secretly open the system, look at his martial arts skills section, and silently think: "This is something the system should be responsible for."

Xiao Ye said softly, "But isn't the current Empress practicing the Ruyi Changchun Gong? Based on the characteristics of the Ruyi Changchun Gong, we can deduce..."

She counted on her fingers: "The current Empress is at most in her twenties, right? Besides, as long as the Ruyi Changchun Gong continues..."

Keep going... Why are you all looking at me like that?

Xia Yuelan asked curiously, "Ruyi Changchun Gong? What's that?"

Fu Hai was also puzzled: "Even if the current Empress conquered the world at birth, she would be over thirty years old by now, wouldn't she?" Xiao Ye exclaimed in surprise: "You don't know about the Ruyi Changchun Gong?"

Suddenly, he covered his mouth with both hands: "Oh dear, did I say something I shouldn't have?"

Xia Yuelan grabbed Xiao Ye: "Stop talking about what should and shouldn't be said. Tell us first, what is the Ruyi Changchun Gong? How could someone in the world be only in their twenties?"

She was so curious!

"It's my fault!" Xiaoye said in terror. "Both times I woke up, the world was at peace, and no one mentioned the Empress's cultivation technique. I thought it was something everyone knew. Ah, I didn't say anything, please pretend you didn't hear me."

Xia Yuelan said angrily, "Xiao Ye, are you keeping us in suspense? It's okay, it's okay, my senior brother and I are on the same side. Tell us, and we definitely won't tell anyone else. ...Xiao Ye? Xiao Ye?"

Xiao Ye, afraid that she would pester her, ran away immediately: "I didn't say anything! And please don't mention it outside, please don't mention it." After she had run far away, Xia Yuelan turned her head and looked at her senior brother.

Suddenly, she clenched her fist and shouted, "What do you mean, 'Don't mention it'? Can't she tell me first what she shouldn't mention in public? I don't understand." Fu Hai was also puzzled.

What do you mean by saying that the current empress is only in her twenties?

Does this mean the Empress possesses a magic that reverses aging, making her look only in her twenties despite her advanced age? But if that's the case, wouldn't it be simpler to just say the Empress has a method for preserving youth and prolonging life?

He felt that what Xiaoye had just said wasn't what she meant. She meant that the Empress was truly only in her twenties.

But the Empress conquered the world thirty years ago, so how could she only be in her twenties?

At this moment, even he was extremely curious, wishing he could grab Xiaoye and interrogate her fiercely. If she didn't answer, he would tie her up with the fairy-binding rope.

Not just the back, but the front too.

But thinking about how terrified Xiaoye looked just now, I know it's best not to ask about it anymore.

He thought to himself, "Xiao Ye just thought that everyone in the world should know about this. But clearly, no one knows. Why is this the case? The most likely reason is..."

A chill ran through him. He patted his junior sister's head and whispered, "Don't ask! In short, don't mention what Xiao Ye just said to anyone, not even Sister Qiu Ying or your senior sister. Just pretend it never happened."

Xia Yuelan was still a little slow to react, and asked blankly, "Why?"

Fu Hai then leaned close to her ear and whispered his suspicions. Xia Yuelan was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth, daring not to say another word.

Xiaoye chose the two rooms next to the library as her residence.
