Chapter 811: Chapter 232: Taking Seventh Lady, Dragon Vein on the Brink, Fire-tipped Spear

You have the skills, and that power is still idle for now. Handing it over to you puts my mind at ease.

This way of thinking is also because I consider you as one of us."

Xie Wei’s expression softened, and she asked, "What power?"

Li Yuan replied, "Come with me first."

...

After a while, the two appeared in the deep mountains.

Although the snow in the deep mountains was thick, the surroundings did not give a sense of desolation.

If one turned their head, they could see that the mountain path on the other side of the cliff had been cleared of snow, and the endless stone steps were filled with worshippers.

That was the Yama Temple.

Xie Wei looked at the road in front of her.

She knew very well where this road led.

This was the Ghost Prison behind the Yama Temple, where the true Lady Yama resided.

"Are you one of Lady Yama’s people?"

Xie Wei speculated.

But after saying it, she shook her head.

She was the Empress Dowager, not an ordinary person.

Ordinary people might deify Lady Yama, but she knew... the true power of Lady Yama was not much different from the Shouyi Ghost of the Lianyi House in Jade Capital City, and initially, perhaps even inferior.

So, judging by the power this senior had previously shown, he was not beneath Lady Yama.

Indeed, Li Yuan said, "No."

Snowflakes fell softly.

The two walked along the quiet mountain path.

The winding path led in further, becoming deeper and deeper.

Xie Wei’s mind spun rapidly, all sorts of information about Lady Yama flooding into her mind.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Suddenly, Xie Wei stopped in her tracks.

An incomprehensible, unimaginable name appeared in her mind.

She even held her breath abruptly, her heart seemed to stop.

Her beautiful eyes widened as she looked at the gray-robed swordsman walking beside her.

Li Yuan smiled and said, "Guessed it? At this point, if someone like you guesses seriously, they would definitely figure it out."

Xie Wei said, "In the battle of Jade Capital back then, the Lotus Sect fought with the Emperor. Everyone thought Lotus Sect had won.

But I knew Lotus Sect hadn’t won because their true objective was never achieved, and eventually, with time, it became a scattered faction.

Later, everyone thought the Emperor fled using his trump card, then borrowed my Xie Family Iron Cavalry and united the national forces to capture Jade Capital and reclaim the throne.

But you and I both know, actually... the Emperor had long been dead.

Thus, the Emperor did not win either.

Therefore, the one who truly benefited from this great battle... was the suddenly rising Lady Yama.

And beside Lady Yama, there was always a ghost, a specter whom no one knew the background of, hovering around."

She stood still, her beautiful eyes quietly watching the gray-robed swordsman beside her, and said, "That ghost... is called Li Yuan."

Time seemed to have stopped.

Li Yuan suddenly said, "Second sister, you guessed right."

Xie Wei:...

"Senior, you mock me."

Her heart was a mix of emotions.

Li Yuan no longer hid it; his form began to transform, flesh wriggling.

Such wriggling, Xie Wei had seen many times before, so she was not unfamiliar.

However, after this transformation, the man in front of her turned into the appearance of a young boy.

A boy with an ordinary appearance but with extraordinarily powerful bearing, his eyes quiet.

The boy smiled and said, "Second sister, this is me."

Xie Wei:...

Suddenly she felt a bit scared.

She reflexively stepped back, but the boy in front of her suddenly stepped forward and wrapped her waist, stopping her retreat.

Perhaps due to the increased skin contact, Xie Wei’s fear quickly melted away. She raised an eyebrow and suddenly said, "So do you want me, or do you want me to work for you?"

If it were Ximen Gucheng, she naturally couldn’t compete with Xiaoyu’Er.

But if it was another man, why should she give up?

After all, the man in front of her was already Lady Yama’s man, so what harm would one more be?

But before Li Yuan could answer, she lightly backed away, gently pushing against Li Yuan, "Forget it, you are still Ximen Gucheng... we..."

Before she could finish, Li Yuan suddenly embraced her, pressing her down.

Xie Wei also seemed to go mad, passionately responding and twisting.

In the snowy wilderness, after a long-awaited intense moment, the two slowly calmed down.

Xie Wei silently put on her trousers, gradually covering her snow-white legs.

After the intimacy, she felt the terrifying presence before her was still the one she was familiar with.

After putting on her trousers, Xie Wei began tidying her messy hair, then said again, "After experiencing so much, I want to find a big tree to lean on properly. Now it seems, I can only follow you.

Moreover, my body has also adapted to your presence.

I’ll follow you in the future. It doesn’t matter if I have a formal title or not.

But Ximen Gucheng... will always be Xiaoyu’Er’s only. In that family, we absolutely cannot..."

Li Yuan nodded and then took Xie Wei’s hand, walking further ahead.

Sister Yan was still waiting for them there.

And the upcoming New Year’s Eve dinner, with Xie Wei’s presence, perhaps a few more meals could be arranged.

After all, Sister Yan also liked excitement, and more people would make her happy.

As for Xie Wei’s previous question.

Some questions simply don’t need an answer.

...

...

Days later.

The higher-ups at Hengwu Restaurant welcomed a new owner.

This owner held the identity of a Judge, reportedly a "mysterious Judge" who had always stayed out of people’s sight and was now arranged by Lady Yama to take charge of the restaurant and Hengwu Commerce Association.

The restaurant launched a seasonal delicacy — Lady Bai Mei’s Pastry.

Delicate and sweet, very palatable, priced moderately, almost every guest ordered a portion.

Almost no one knew who this "mysterious Judge" was, but there were rumors in the restaurant that the Pastry was crafted by this Judge, thus, the mysterious Judge came to be known by a new title — Lady Bai Mei.
