Ruan Yingxiu ascended, becoming the new King of Northern Anlang, and even the Queen...

This was something that caught many people off guard.

Just like the unexpected shooting of Ruan Wenzhong.

The impact of this surprise was considerable; many inside and outside of Luo City were restless. If the military wasn't quiet, some might have already rallied under some banner to resist Ruan Yingxiu.

However, Ruan Yingxiu's ability was indeed strong. As soon as she took power, she demonstrated a significant formidable approach, immediately suppressing the unrest within the army, calming the situation, and truly taking control of such power.

The news reached Anlang Capital, and certain individuals began to take action again. Compared to the strong and ruthless Ruan Wenzhong, Ruan Yingxiu, as a woman, seemed less threatening.

But they were quickly disappointed; this woman was even more ruthless than a man when her heart turned dark. Before they formally acted, the heads of the scouts sent had already been secretly sent back...

This move was quite brutal. Although it couldn't completely dispel the thoughts of some people, it did intimidate them, temporarily calming Luo City.

These things had little to do with Qin Fang. He only needed to leisurely stay by Ruan Yingxiu's side.

If it weren't for the many people lurking in the shadows needing to be dealt with individually these days, he would already have planned to leave here.

Giving up halfway is not his habit. Since he supported Ruan Yingxiu's ascension, he naturally couldn't let her be killed before she warmed her seat.

With him acting as a human surveillance beside her, assassins had no chance to approach. As soon as they appeared, Qin Fang would spot them, track them quietly, and take care of them beforehand...

Dealing with these people posed no psychological burden to Qin Fang. He was even secretly pleased with his constantly rising Justice Points...

Starting from Ruan Wenzhong and Ruan Youlin, he had stained his hands with a considerable amount of blood in recent days, yet hadn't killed an innocent person—all were significant Sin Points individuals.

Like Ruan Wenzhong, a warlord with countless blood on his hands; eliminating him directly increased Qin Fang's Justice Points by over two thousand, nearly doubling his original points.

Others also contributed varying amounts of Justice Points to Qin Fang. His trip to Anlang was overall profitable, and these Justice Points alone made the trip worthwhile.

As a few days passed, Ruan Yingxiu basically controlled the situation, and the officers who supported her ascension received corresponding promotions, essentially binding themselves with her completely.

Ruan Wenzhong's close guards were similarly managed. Though they weren't assigned to protect Ruan Yingxiu for safety reasons, they were well arranged nonetheless.

At this point, Qin Fang had no need to stay in Anlang any longer. He had been away for quite a while and ought to return.

Regarding sorcery, Ruan Yingxiu merely gave Qin Fang a brief overview, letting him understand the basics, like fundamental defensive and countering methods, etc.

However, Ruan Yingxiu mentioned that these methods were suitable for ordinary sorcery but not reliable against very powerful sorcery.

Qin Fang wasn't too concerned; knowing these basics was sufficient as he was mostly immune to such evil arts.

His interest in understanding it was merely precautionary.

...

The sky darkened, and the lights began to shine.

Recently turbulent Luo City gradually returned to tranquility, the citywide lockdown a few days ago had been lifted, restoring its usual peacefulness.

Despite still being the largest mansion in the city, the Ruan Family Mansion appeared particularly empty, occupied only by Ruan Yingxiu, Ruan Erjie, and soldiers safeguarding their safety.

Ruan Erjie was effectively under house arrest, with abundant food and drink but obvious lack of freedom... which was considered preferential treatment from Ruan Yingxiu.

If their roles were reversed, Ruan Yingxiu likely would've been thrown into a water prison and left to fend for herself, rather than living like she currently does.

Ruan Yingxiu's courtyard was now the most honored place in the mansion, still old but exceptionally distinguished.

In fact, Ruan Yingxiu could easily move to a different residence, but she was accustomed to living here and saw no need to change...

Qin Fang was leaving, scheduled for early tomorrow morning—a notice he had given Ruan Yingxiu in advance.

While leaving without a farewell seemed more carefree, after considering it, Qin Fang decided informing her briefly was better, leading to tonight's dinner.

"You..."

When Qin Fang arrived, Ruan Yingxiu had already prepared everything.

The location was set in Ruan Yingxiu's boudoir, despite some unpleasant past events, like Li Yaonan dying here.

This didn't seem to affect Ruan Yingxiu, who had no psychological burden, as she hadn't witnessed that process herself.

In fact, she learned about Li Yaonan's death only after Qin Fang rescued her from the water prison. Before she was thrown into the prison, she had been in a daze...

The dinner location was very peculiar, making Qin Fang curious, yet it was far less surprising than today's attire of Ruan Yingxiu.

In the room, all lights were extinguished, leaving only a few lit red candles, emitting some weak yet sufficient light to illuminate the room.

Ruan Yingxiu wore very little, even fewer clothes than Qin Fang anticipated, seemingly only a thin gauze revealing the scenic beauty inside vaguely.

Seeing this scene, Qin Fang was almost instantly stunned, unsure of Ruan Yingxiu's intentions...

"Let's eat first..."

Contrary to Qin Fang's surprise, Ruan Yingxiu's fair cheeks blushed, but she didn't say much, merely gestured to the prepared delicacies.

"Uh... eat, eat!"

Qin Fang quickly recovered, despite feeling Ruan Yingxiu's strangeness today. However, as there was nothing inappropriate right now, eating beforehand was naturally crucial.

Thus, they sat down to eat, unexpectedly without speaking. Both seemed to have different thoughts, making the scene increasingly eerie.

Eating felt tasteless, like chewing wax...

"I'll be leaving tomorrow..."

After a prolonged silence, Qin Fang gently opened his mouth.

"Hmm, I know..."

Ruan Yingxiu nodded slightly; Qin Fang had already informed her before.

"If you ever encounter trouble, you can contact me... As long as I have time, I'll definitely come to help..."

Qin Fang struggled to make conversation, appearing somewhat difficult.

"Hmm..."

Ruan Yingxiu replied the same way, with a gentle hum and no further movement.

Qin Fang found no suitable words; both resumed silently eating.

Eating, although neither was fast, eventually came to an end.

"I should go..."

After eating and drinking, Qin Fang hesitated briefly, deciding to take his leave.

But as he stood up, he felt a smooth small hand grasping his arm tightly.

"Don't leave! Tonight, I am yours..."
