The two women followed Emperor Beichen's figure, hoping to have a chance to get to know him better. However, their hopes faded when they saw Emperor Beichen approach another woman. They couldn't help but feel disappointed, but they were not ready to give up completely. Perhaps they were just friends or siblings, which would leave them with some chance.
Emperor Beichen quickly reached Bai Li Hongzhuang's side, his handsome face adorned with a charming smile. "My wife, I have learned the way to the alchemy hall," he said.
As Emperor Beichen's words fell, the two hopeful women felt utterly hopeless. His wife, the woman he approached, was none other than Bai Li Hongzhuang!
Bai Li Hongzhuang smiled and said, "Then let's go."
Subsequently, the two of them, accompanied by their three animal companions, headed towards the direction of the alchemy hall. The two women watched Bai Li Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen as they walked away, their actions filled with perfect understanding, leaving the women feeling helpless.
But when they saw Bai Li Hongzhuang's face, any hope they held in their hearts vanished completely. They couldn't compare themselves to her. The gap was insurmountable, leaving them feeling powerless.
"It's unbelievable that such a young man already has a wife. Aren't cultivators usually married later in life?" one of the women sighed softly, filled with helplessness and admiration.
Unfortunately, they had no chance at all.
After Bai Li Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen had walked a distance, she couldn't help but laugh. "Beichen, you really have quite the charm," she said, glancing at him.
Emperor Beichen immediately reached out and grabbed Bai Li Hongzhuang's delicate hand. "In that case, my wife, you must keep a close eye on me!" he declared.
Bai Li Hongzhuang gave him a sidelong glance. "Do you really need me to keep an eye on you?"
"No, I belong only to my wife forever. How about that?" Emperor Beichen's gaze was intense, filled with curiosity and playfulness.
Hearing Emperor Beichen's straightforward words, Bai Li Hongzhuang's face blushed slightly. She turned her head and looked away, pretending as if nothing had happened. However, a smile tugged at the corners of her lips.
Not willing to let Bai Li Hongzhuang off the hook so easily, Emperor Beichen swiftly moved and appeared on her other side. With a single glance, he caught the joyful curve of her lips, and the twinkle in his eyes deepened.
"My wife, you're not being honest!" he exclaimed.
Caught off guard, Bai Li Hongzhuang felt a bit embarrassed, but now that Emperor Beichen had caught her in the act, she couldn't deny it.
Observing the affectionate Bai Li Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen, the three animal companions exchanged a glance, a smile playing on their faces. Though they weren't directly involved, they could still sense the joy between the two.
They continued their playful banter along the way until Bai Li Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen finally arrived at the location of the alchemy hall. The alchemy hall in the Limitless Palace was comparable in size to the Heavenly Origin Sect's, but it had a brighter and more splendid decoration, exuding a different style that still commanded respect.
