Chapter 739: Chapter 737: I’ll Cry Out in Pain, and Take Your Surname!

“No wonder you made it to Prime Minister, you really have an eye for things!”

‘Crunch~’ Sally bit off a piece of sugarcane with her strong teeth, “But the General and I have some irreconcilable differences, we’re considering a divorce.”

“A divorce?” Duanmu Yunhua was surprised, her smile fading away.

“No such thing,” Dongfang Yi replied, then scolded Sally, “Stop talking nonsense.”

“If you say stop, then I’ll stop.” Sally chewed on the sugarcane forcefully, spat out the chewed-up bits, and wrapped them in a handkerchief.

Duanmu Yunhua continued to ask, “What are these irreconcilable differences?”

Sally paused, looked at Dongfang Yi, and seeing he was also somewhat curious, she curved her lips into a smile and said to Duanmu Yunhua, “He won’t let me speak.”

“It’s not that you can’t speak, it’s that you can’t blabber nonsense,” Dongfang Yi said.

Duanmu Yunhua, “Go ahead and speak.”

Sally bit off another small piece of sugarcane, “Well then. The so-called irreconcilable differences are about worldview, civilization, history, talent, life, and values.”

“Oh? What do these differences entail?” Duanmu Yunhua grew more curious.

Just as Sally was about to answer, Dongfang Yi clearly became displeased, feeling she was about to spout more nonsense, “Eat your sugarcane.”

“I don’t want to eat anymore!” Sally threw the remaining two pieces of sugarcane towards him.

Dongfang Yi caught them with ease and squeezed them into several fragments, which he then threw out the window.

Sally’s mouth twitched, “What I said is the truth, I’ve never spoken a single word of nonsense, believe it or not, it’s up to you.”

With that, she pulled over the blanket, spread it out, and went to sleep.

Duanmu Yunhua saw the tension between the two and didn’t continue to inquire.

Later, whatever Dongfang Yi and Duanmu Yunhua talked about, she disregarded completely.

“The Emperor wants to eliminate the remnants of the royal families of other nations, to prevent future troubles.”

“I have already handed over the Dragon Talisman, I should return home to observe mourning for three years.”

“There’s nothing you can do if the Emperor is heartless.”

…

Sally fantasized about waking up in the Holy Palace, holding a fragrant and soft little son in her arms.

But in reality, when she opened her eyes, she saw Dongfang Yi sitting by the bed, holding a military book, and the air was filled with the smell of medicine.

“You’ve contracted a chill from the rain, compounded by a latent ailment from starving before, both old and new ailments flared up, you’ve had a fever for two days.” Dongfang Yi put down the book and held up a bowl of medicine for her.

“Mm.” This body is weak enough, still, the Beast Body is better… Sally looked at Dongfang Yi, wondering when his worldly affairs would end.

Entering the world as a jury is to enter it with a part of one’s soul, and ends with death. She didn’t know whether the Ancestral Dragon had entered the world with his original soul or a fragment, whether it would end in death or some other way.

Sally drank the medicine in one go, “I’m hungry.”

Dongfang Yi put down the medicine bowl and instructed the attendant waiting outside, “Prepare some mild and easily digestible meals.”

“Yes, my lord,” the attendant responded and left.

Dongfang Yi’s gaze fell on the bracelet around Sally’s wrist, “Where did you get this bracelet from?”

Sally looked at the Space Jade Bracelet on her wrist, which Jian had given her, “My lover gave it to me.”

“Take it off!” Dongfang Yi’s face turned extremely sour.

Sally hurriedly protected it, “No way, this thing is too useful to me now.”

“Either you take it off, or I’ll chop off your hand! Choose one!” Dongfang Yi walked over to the weapons rack in the corner and picked up a knife.

Sally, who doesn’t respond well to threats, rolled up her sleeves at once, revealing her skinny, bony arm, “Chop it! If you dare, chop at the arm! If I cry out in pain, I’ll take your surname.”

Dongfang Yi had never seen a woman like this before. ‘Crafty, lazy, gluttonous, slippery’ were not enough to describe her, he should add another label – ‘rascal’!

“You’ve taken my surname since the day you entered the Dongfang Family,” Dongfang Yi tossed the knife back onto the weapon rack with precision, fitting it perfectly into its sheath.

Sally pulled her sleeves back down, “When are you going to give me the divorce papers?”

“The Empress has summoned you to the palace to serve as a female official,” Dongfang Yi said before leaving, fearing that Sally would say something else that would infuriate him.

Sally was stunned, “Huh? I’m to serve as a female official?”

In the Chu Dynasty, all women whose names were recorded in the court register of Imperial Mandates were required to serve as female officials in the palace. Those who could stay by the side of the Empress were often the wives of the court’s main pillars of strength.

Sally pushed open the door to Dongfang Yi’s study and declared directly, “I won’t enter the palace!”

Dongfang Yi: “Reason.”

“I, am lazy and gluttonous! I’d rather lie down and starve to death than wait on others, not even the God Venerable has such a fate! To serve the Empress, I fear I might harm her fortune and longevity.” After speaking, Sally turned and left, completely unaware that there was another person behind the bookshelf in the study.

That person had a tall and upright stature, dense eyebrows that bore the harsh chill of a knife’s edge, long jet-black hair all combed to the back of his head, revealing a full and smooth forehead, and a delicate beauty mark, with a red mole an inch below it, softening the severity of his cold eyebrows and emanating a sense of compassion and tolerance.

The person’s deep-set facial features were distinct, as if sculpted with care, exuding an aggressive sense of beauty.

He held a book in his hand, and his eyes, dark as the abyss, were filled with surprise, “Is she the one Yunhua mentioned?”

“…” Dongfang Yi resignedly said, “The Emperor is amused.”

“No trouble at all.” Chu Duo placed the book back onto the bookshelf.

He moved from behind the bookshelf to the desk, picked up a document that had yet to be dealt with, glanced over it, then placed it back down.

“There has been frequent activity in Jiang City from the remnants of the Liang Dynasty, and I would like you to go there,” said the Emperor.

“Can’t go,” Dongfang Yi flatly refused.

Chu Duo looked towards the door, smiled, and said, “You could take her with you.”

“Her? With her vices, she’s more likely to botch things than to accomplish anything.”

“Then perhaps letting her enter the palace? The Empress has a knack for training people. Both the concubines and the palace affairs are very well-managed,” said the Emperor.

“Didn’t Your Majesty hear what she said? She’d rather lie down and die of laziness and starvation!” Dongfang Yi remembered the first time he saw her, “She’s the type to do as she says!”

Chu Duo: “…” Quite a tough one!

Sally sat on a rock by the pond in the garden, sending a message to Jian through the Sound Transmission Talisman—[Are you done fighting with Heavenly Dao? I want to go back.]

The message had hardly gone before Jian appeared.

Seeing Sally feeding the fish with a bored look on her face, he laughed, “Miss me so soon?”

“Yes, I miss you. Take me back to Beast World,” Sally looked up at Jian with tears suddenly welling in her eyes.

Jian turned his head away from her gaze, “We can’t go back for now, Heavenly Dao seems to have reincarnated again, and I can’t find him at the moment.”

Sally blinked away the tears, her expression back to normal, “Now that he’s incarnate, you bully him, then when he assumes his place, he’ll retaliate. Can you defeat Heavenly Dao?”

“I just want to deal with him while he’s weak, he plotted against me after all,” Jian was the type to hold grudges and certainly wouldn’t just accept a loss.

Sally looked at him and threw all the fish food into the pond, watching the fish swarm to it, “By that logic, I should also settle accounts with Heavenly Dao.”

“Exactly! I shouldn’t be the only one to suffer from cyanide poisoning; he should endure a thousand times more,” said Jian to Sally.

Sally nodded, “Let’s do as you say, deal with Heavenly Dao, and then we’ll return to Beast World. Little Dot has also grown a lot.”

“I saw him when I arrived, Zi Qi is taking good care of him,” Jian mentioned.

“Well then, let’s set a time limit, one year! Whether you find Heavenly Dao or not, I want to return to Beast World,” Sally decided.

“It won’t take a year.”

“At most one year, with no minimum,” Sally raised her hand.

“It’s settled then,” Jian agreed, slapping her hand and pulling her into his embrace for a deep, lingering kiss…

Not far away, Chu Duo watched as Sally was embraced and kissed passionately by a man whose back was to him, whose face he couldn’t see; his expression grave.
