Emperor Beichen's hands wrapped around Bai Li Hongzhuang's slender waist, and his lips pressed against her ear as he said, "My wife, today all the students in the academy are going home to visit their families. The horses we have are already not enough. If you buy another one, what about others?"
The warm breath brushed against Bai Li Hongzhuang's ear, causing a tingling sensation to spread through her body. With such an ambiguous contact, her cheeks flushed instantly.
Emperor Beichen looked at Bai Li Hongzhuang's reddened earlobe, and a deeper smile appeared in his eyes.
Although his wife usually had a fearless attitude, she was shy in matters like this.
"Emperor Beichen! Let's depart already!"
Unable to bear the flirtatious atmosphere, Bai Li Hongzhuang couldn't help but speak out. This guy was shamelessly taking advantage of her weakness. It was truly infuriating!
"When my wife says to depart, I naturally have no objections!"
Emperor Beichen gradually tightened his hold, pulling Bai Li Hongzhuang closer. With a wave of his hand, he directly spurred the horse forward.
"Tat-tat-tat!"
The sound of hoofbeats echoed as Bai Li Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen gradually approached the Wind Bo Kingdom. However, both of them were approaching with a leisurely mindset, treating it as a sightseeing trip rather than a rush.
Along the way, Emperor Beichen and Bai Li Hongzhuang admired the surrounding scenery. Both of them usually focused on cultivation and rarely had such leisure time, so they thoroughly enjoyed this moment.
"Emperor Beichen, is it alright for you to stay away from the Tian Gang Sect for so long?" Bai Li Hongzhuang couldn't help but ask.
Emperor Beichen had been at Canglan Academy for a while now. Although his position in the Tian Gang Sect had already been secured before, staying away from the sect for such a long time might bring about some unforeseen changes.
Emperor Beichen's gaze changed slightly. "My wife doesn't like having me accompany you?"
Bai Li Hongzhuang shook her head. "I'm just worried that you've been away for too long and it might have an impact on you."
Even though Emperor Beichen was the master of the Tian Gang Sect and the leader of the sect's young generation, staying away from the sect for such a long time while being a sect leader might not be a good thing.
"The matters of the sect have always been reported to me by Heimu and the others. Although I'm not physically present in the sect, I still have an understanding of the sect's affairs. Unless there are some very important matters that require my return, it doesn't matter much otherwise. My wife doesn't need to worry," Emperor Beichen reassured her.
"I see." Bai Li Hongzhuang nodded lightly. Thankfully, there were people like Heimu who were wholeheartedly taking care of things for Emperor Beichen, which saved them a lot of trouble.
"Why haven't I seen Heimu recently?"
Bai Li Hongzhuang raised her eyebrows in confusion. When she first met Emperor Beichen, Heimu had always been by his side.
Thinking about it, Heimu should be Emperor Beichen's close guard. However, since Emperor Beichen came to Canglan Academy, she had only seen Heimu once.
Emperor Beichen's expression changed slightly, revealing a hint of unease. "I've recently sent Heimu to take care of some other matters."
Bai Li Hongzhuang looked at Emperor Beichen suspiciously. She felt that there was something off about his expression, but she couldn't figure out what it was exactly. All she could do was let Emperor Beichen handle it himself.
