You Cannot Afford To Offend My Woman

Chapter 1172 (Deal with Things One by One)

As Ye Huaʼs three subordinates disappeared simultaneously, he couldnʼt help but wonder whether it was a coincidence or a deliberate act. If it was a coincidence, it was lucky. But if it was intentional, who could possess such formidable strength?

Ye Hua furrowed his brows, deeply immersed in contemplation, his gaze emitting a cold crimson light.

After a considerable period of silence, he shouted, ”Zizi!”

Ye Zizi quickly appeared in the palace, delicately saying, ”Subordinate pays respects to Your Majesty.”

”Go and bring back Jealousy for me, no matter what means you use!” Ye Hua said with a stern tone.

”Your Majesty, has Jealousy disappeared?” Ye Zizi raised her head curiously.

”Yes, its presence has been blocked,” Ye Hua replied.

”Your Majesty, where was the last known location?” Ye Zizi asked.

Ye Hua pondered for a moment. ”It was in the Elysian Mountain Fief.”

”Isnʼt that the territory of the Divine Scripture Academy?” Ye Zizi exclaimed, as both little majesties were there.

”Yes.”

”Can I bring Kai Yun with me? Itʼs scary to go alone!” Ye Zizi pleaded pitifully, more out of boredom and a desire for company.

Ye Hua chuckled at Ye Ziziʼs expression and said, ”Let Kai Yun accompany you, but be cautious, both of you.”

”Yes!” Ye Zizi happily accepted the order. The palace was boring, and going out was always more entertaining.

Watching Ye Zizi leave, Ye Hua sighed in relief. Most of his main force had been dispatched, and only one subordinate was sleeping in the valley. [Lie Gu.]

With him overseeing the Empire, there should be no one daring to provoke them!

On the other side, Ye Juetian arrived at the entrance of the celestial prison.

Two black-armoured warriors stood guard, while he was reminiscing about him being imprisoned. Later, it was Yi Yiʼs turn, and he hesitated to face her. If only he had gathered the courage to visit her back then, it would have made a significant difference. Now, it was too late to regret anything.

However, for the sake of his own safety, Yi Yi had caused a great disaster and was now confined in the prison. He couldnʼt help but see himself as a troublemaker.

His older brother allowed him to visit once a month, showing immense tolerance.

Entering the Celestial Prison, a staircase extended downward, seemingly endless.

Damp air greeted him, and the sound of dripping water made the atmosphere even lonelier.

Reaching the bottom, Ye Juetian saw a figure sitting on the ground, hugging her knees tightly, looking helpless.

Ye Juetian felt that Yi Yi might have looked the same when she was imprisoned here.

Hearing faint footsteps, Gong Yue looked up, and joy immediately appeared on her delicate and pretty face.

”Juetian!” Gong Yue stood up, hands gripping the iron bars, brimming with joy.

Ye Juetian came to see her.

Good.

Ye Juetian walked to Gong Yueʼs side, looking at the woman before him who was crying tears of joy, wondering how he could deserve such devotion.

”Gong Yue, Iʼm sorry. Itʼs my fault,” Ye Juetian said in a deep voice, knowing that a simple apology wouldnʼt solve the problem.

”No, Juetian, I donʼt blame you, really.” Gong Yue smiled slightly, wiping tears of joy.

Ye Juetian took a deep breath and said, ”Gong Yue, since Iʼve chosen you, I should take responsibility for you.”

Gong Yue was momentarily stunned, feeling like she was hallucinating. Did Juetian just say he would take responsibility for her? Was this real?

”Even if you have to stay here for the rest of your life, I will take responsibility for you,” Ye Juetian made a solemn promise as a man.

Gong Yueʼs expression gradually became tense, then she squatted down and burst into tears. She left her hometown and entrusted herself entirely to the man before her. She had been through sadness, and now she felt true happiness—finally hearing the promise he gave.

Ye Juetian reached out and gently stroked Gong Yueʼs hair. ”Big brother promised me that I can come to see you every month.”

”Thatʼs great, Juetian...” Gong Yue tightly held Ye Juetianʼs hand, reluctant to let go.

But the current Ye Juetian felt guilty towards Gong Yue. Redemption was greater than love in Ye Juetianʼs heart; perhaps his love was forever reserved for the departed Yi Yi.

Ye Juetian slowly sat down, accompanying Gong Yue closely. This woman had transformed from kindness to malevolence, and it was hard to imagine what she had been through.

”Alright, Juetian, you should go back now. Come to see me next month,” Gong Yue forced a smile, hoping that Ye Juetian would spend more time with her.

Ye Juetian sighed deeply. ”Gong Yue, I will find a way to have my brother release you.”

”Juetian, you donʼt need to hurry. Actually, itʼs quite good here, quiet... I can reflect on things.” Hearing Ye Juetianʼs words, Gong Yue was genuinely happy. With his assurance, she felt secure.

Ye Juetian looked around at the cold environment. He could imagine how scared Yi Yi must have been sitting here.

”Iʼll leave now,” Ye Juetian stood up and said softly.

With reluctance in her eyes, Gong Yue knew that Ye Juetian had to leave.

”When Iʼm not by your side, take care of yourself. Eat on time, rest early,” Gong Yue shouted at Ye Juetianʼs retreating figure.

Ye Juetian trembled slightly, turned back, and smiled, ”Thank you, Gong Yue.”

Gong Yue also showed a gentle smile. Perhaps this was the original personality of Gong Yue. Watching Ye Juetian disappear from view, Gong Yue slowly sat down, closed her eyes, and a subtle curve formed on her lips.

When Ye Juetian walked out of the Celestial Dungeon, he immediately saw his elder brother not far away, smoking.

”Big brother,” Ye Juetian called softly.

Ye Hua took out a cigarette and handed it to Ye Juetian. Ye Juetian didnʼt refuse. He used to think smoking was bad, but now it felt... quite comfortable.

”Letʼs take a walk,” Ye Hua said softly.

Ye Juetian nodded. The two brothers walked the grand path of the imperial palace. Passing palace maids respectfully greeted them. If the emperor and the prince wore the same clothes, it might be hard to distinguish who was who.

”Big brother, did Yi Yi say anything before she left?” Ye Juetian asked.

Ye Hua knew his younger brother would ask about this matter.

”She didnʼt say much.”

”Oh.” Ye Juetian felt a little disappointed after hearing this.

”Little Tian, she is called Meng Yao. In her world, everyone must address her with respect. Meng Yao is a Supreme God; she is much stronger than you, much stronger,” Ye Hua said lightly, delivering a blow to his younger brother who had yet to understand life. Without experiencing a bit of life and death, one would never truly grow up.

Back in the day, he grew up in the midst of life and death, facing death every day.

The skills he possessed were earned with his life. Good things never fall from the sky, and even if they do, they wonʼt fall on your head.

”Meng Yao, a Supreme God,” Ye Juetian whispered. In fact, seeing Meng Yao today, Ye Juetian already felt her strength. Now, he got confirmation from his big brother.

Ye Hua flicked the cigarette ash and said softly, ”But big brother has left you a way out. Whether you can salvage it or not depends on your abilities.”

”Big brother???” Ye Juetian was a bit bewildered, staring at him in shock.
