Chapter 873: Chapter 873: Ever Since I Had You, I Wish to Treat You with Tenderness in Every Possible Way

Qin Ruan grunted softly, opened the WeChat app on his phone, and clicked into the "Emperor Beitai Above" WeChat group.

He just so happened to see the first message, which was from Wu Fan.

Longevity Sect Wu Fan: [I’m in Capital City now.]

Right after, he posted a photo of the tallest building in Capital City—the HEA Group.

Longevity Sect Wu Fan: [Fellow Daoists, have you heard about the recent movements of the Huo Family?]

Qingcheng Wei Xishi: [Maid Gracefully Eating Melon.jpg]

Yuxing Road Daoist: [Eating Sunflower Seeds.jpg]

Maoshan Lady Nine: [Sitting on a Stool Cutely.jpg]

Nanyin Temple Hui Cheng: [Monk Eavesdropping.jpg]

The only one who spoke reasonably was Qiao Nanyuan.

Maoshan Lord Qiao: [What happened?]

With just a phrase and a photo, Wu Fan had everyone in the group buzzing.

Seeing the movements of the Huo Family also piqued Qin Ruan’s curiosity.

Qingcheng Wei Xishi threw a blood-dripping knife emoji, threateningly speaking: [If you don’t start talking, I’m going to sharpen my knife here!]

Wu Fan casually tossed back a bomb emoji, and the screen instantly went dark and smoggy.

Longevity Sect Wu Fan: [You all in Capital City, yet you don’t know what’s happening, are you guys just staying home, not caring about outside affairs?]

[You all seem to be enjoying your days!]

Qingcheng Wei Xishi: [Cut the crap, get to the point!]

Longevity Sect Wu Fan: [I got news that the Huo Family’s third master encountered an assassination attempt, the first in recent years.]

[The Huo Family’s sword is pointed directly at Fuluo Country, rumors say war will start—they are indeed bold, it got serious this time!]

Maoshan Lady Nine: [!!!]

Maoshan Lord Qiao: [!!!]

Yuxing Road Daoist: [!!!]

There was a moment of silence in the group.

Even Qin Ruan held his breath, staring intensely at the two sentences Wu Fan sent out.

Nanyin Temple Hui Cheng: [The time for that Huo family member hasn’t come yet.]

Both Qiao Nanyuan and Lun Wenbin were so shocked they only left exclamation marks, but Hui Cheng’s response still looked very proper.

Qin Ruan, with her beautiful fox-like eyes, stared at the sentence he sent, and the more she looked, the more uneasy she felt.

She frowned tightly, recalling her interactions with the third master these past days, wondering at what point he had encountered an assassination attempt that she was unaware of.

Before long, Wu Fan spoke again.

Longevity Sect Wu Fan: [Indeed, the man didn’t die, but the assassination was real.]

[On my visit to Capital City I found that everywhere is under martial law, every intersection is guarded by young men and women in uniforms, this year is tough, who knows how many will have to work overtime and through the night.]

Yuxing Road Daoist: [That Ziwei fate, if intact, would signify an emperor’s destiny, too valuable to speak of, such a pity.]

Maoshan Lady Nine: [My master made me read that person’s fate years ago, I almost lost my life, those born under the Ziwei star are no small deal—Picking Nose.jpg]

Maoshan Lord Qiao: [Throughout history, how often is there such an imperial fate in the mortal world? It only appears every few hundred years, and just when one does, it’s doomed to fall within a few years.]

Qingcheng Wei Xishi suddenly chimed in: [Didn’t they say that Spiritual Mountain’s master has been adjusting that person’s health these years? He should be able to extend his life a few more years.]

Yuxing Road Daoist: [It’s tough, the Ziwei Star appears elusive, it had some vitality recently but these days it has darkened again, consuming its own energy, soon to leave its mortal shell, doomed to perish.]

Maoshan Ninth Maiden: [What a pity——]

Qingcheng Wei Xishi immediately followed: [What a pity!]

Nanyin Temple Hui Cheng: [The Huo Family is the foremost ancient noble family in the Capital City, life has its destinies and uncertainties, and with changes in uncertainties, destinies can also change. Everything has its causes and effects, the ultimate fate of Third Master Huo is still unknown, and here we are, fretting unnecessarily and only adding to our worries.]

Yuxing Road Taoist: [Well said.]

Maoshan Qiao Lord: [@Longevity Sect Wu Fan/The Capital City has been unstable recently, how did you come here?]

Longevity Sect Wu Fan: [It’s a long story, I came because of family matters, I’ll talk about it after I’ve handled them.]

Maoshan Ninth Maiden: [Sister Wu Fan, take it easy, don’t go on a killing spree, it’s almost the festival, and it’s bad to see blood.]

Yuxing Road Taoist: [+1]

Qingcheng Wei Xishi: [+2]

Nanyin Temple Hui Cheng: [+10086]

Maoshan Qiao Lord: [Xiaojiu makes a valid point.]

Longevity Sect Wu Fan: [...]

Qin Ruan saw this, stopped paying attention to the WeChat group, and turned to dial Third Master’s number.

Just as he reached the doorstep of his home, Huo Yunjiao saw the incoming call from Qin Ruan and directly hung up.

He handed his coat to a nearby servant and ascended the stairs with a steady and elegant pace.

In the upstairs room, Qin Ruan’s call was disconnected, and her already anxious heart began to race.

She got up and rushed out of the room, running directly into the arms of Huo Yunjiao, who was just about to enter.

Third Master wrapped his arms around Qin Ruan’s waist, holding her close, and looked at her with interest, "So eager to throw yourself into my arms, did you miss me?"

His voice was languid and enticing, indescribably pleasant and moving.

Seeing him, Qin Ruan’s heart slowly returned to its place.

She looked up at the striking Third Master Huo and slowly raised her hands to caress the magnified handsome face in front of her, squinting her eyes, "Third Master, are you hiding something from me?"

Huo Yunjiao’s breath hitched almost imperceptibly, and his face showed just the right amount of confusion, "Hm?"

The perfect disguise would have been flawless, if not for his arm that was holding Qin Ruan’s waist, which tensed for a moment, she wouldn’t have noticed.

Qin Ruan forcefully pinched the flawless, delicate face of the man, lifting her languid eyelids, "Someone said Third Master was assassinated."

Huo Yunjiao was not surprised that Qin Ruan knew about it, just not so soon.

He picked up Qin Ruan and walked toward the bedroom, his arms tight to prevent the person in his arms from struggling.

He had just sat down on the bed when Qin Ruan immediately leaped out of the secure embrace, standing on the floor and staring fixedly at the person on the bed.

Huo Yunjiao looked up only to see his petite wife’s usually sly fox-like eyes filled with anger.

He knew that this time, she might be harder to soothe.

Yet, his actions were as usual, employing a soft approach, he grabbed Qin Ruan’s hand and pulled her back into his embrace, seating her on his lap.

Just as Qin Ruan was about to attempt another escape, Huo Yunjiao lowered his head and bit her earlobe, his voice tender and enticing to the extreme, slowly began, "Baby, it’s such a small matter. Huo Qiang and the Hidden Guards are with me every day, look, aren’t I still fine?"

Qin Ruan was caught off guard by the bite, her breath hitching.

Fortunately, he released his mouth quickly, she turned her head and glared at the smiling, tender man in front of her, almost grinding her teeth as she spoke, "If something really happened, it would have been too late, why didn’t you tell me?"

"I was afraid you’d worry," Huo Yunjiao’s lips touched the top of Qin Ruan’s head, sighing softly, "Look at how furrowed your brows are."

He stretched his hand to smooth her tightly knitted brow, his tone affectionate and gentle, "My girl is so good, and so beautiful when she smiles, I’d love to see you smile every day, how could I bear to make you worry?"

Qin Ruan’s cheeks flushed, her heart thudded, and much of her anger dissipated, yet she feigned displeasure, "Third Master, when did you become so smooth-tongued!"
