Imperial Treasure

"It’s up to your own preference," Sui Yi said blandly.

Black raised an eyebrow: "What the Imperial Crown likes is important."

His words came slowly, each one seemed enticing.

Sui Yi had just undergone a long hot springs memory session, and his usually indifferent temperament was a bit altered, at least more sensitive. Hearing Black’s teasing, which was half-joking, he slightly raised an eyebrow.

Yet, he said nothing.

Was Black asking if she liked men or women?

Could it be an allusion to Jun Yuqing and Shen Zhiyue?

Sui Yi naturally didn’t want to engage with such questions.

Black didn’t insist, simply smiled faintly, with a smile that was three parts haughty, seven parts stunning.

"Ah, anyway it doesn’t matter, I already know what you like..."

"This time I’ve come, just to tell you one thing..."

"Not long ago in that ancient tomb, inside there wasn’t just a spirit coffin...more importantly, I found a notebook from Loulan, but I could only see the first three volumes. It mentioned the changes in living beings after the collapse of the Main World and the fragmentation of many small world fragments...but the last volume, I couldn’t understand."

Black walked over and placed a black notebook on the table.

"I think, the only person in this world who can understand my Progenitor’s shark mermaid language is you."

Sui Yi picked up the black notebook, but didn’t open it directly, instead, looked at Black: "Are you going to find him?"

"Pursuing the origin, isn’t it good?"

"It should be," Sui Yi naturally couldn’t say it wasn’t good, because she’s also in the process of finding herself.

"Now the space barrier path can’t be followed, my strength is not enough to directly tear space, maybe you could."

"And you must be going out... take me along when the time comes," Black finished speaking, then Sui Yi rejected him.

"I can’t take you."

"Huh? You can’t open it either?" Black hadn’t expected that Sui Yi wouldn’t want to take her, could only be an external factor.

"I can indeed open the space barrier, but once it’s opened, it’s hard to heal, equating to consuming inherent energy...it’s very unfavorable to the safety of this world."

Black understood, previously one-third of the Jade Bi’s power was used for repairing the space barrier.

With limited power, tearing once and repairing once, equates to consuming once.

Sui Yi has always had a view of the big picture, Shura and Zhijue long ago deployed people like the Pope, so for this battle...

"You anticipated Shura would come...intentionally lured him in, didn’t you?"

Before leaving, Black suddenly turned and asked.

Sui Yi didn’t even lift her gaze from the black notebook, she just said indifferently: "He’s bound to come in sooner or later, there’s no luring."

Ah~~indeed, compared to the damage caused by Shura suddenly launching a war, now controlling the damage within a small range in New York is reduced to the smallest, civilian casualties haven’t reached triple digits.

Only because civilians had already been evacuated by the New York government from the start, which was reasonable.

This is the leader’s maneuver.

Black, being a leader herself, chuckled lightly, directly giving up on this topic, "Then I’ll have to go by Dragon Ape... goodbye Dragon Ape."

She turned and left.

And Sui Yi finished reading the first three volumes of the black notebook, then proceeded to read the fourth.

This volume’s text was minimal, using an obscure script from the Witch Scripture, no wonder Black couldn’t understand.

Yet for Sui Yi, who could understand, her expression turned increasingly grim, finally, she set the notebook down and closed her eyes.

"Loulan"

Loulan was her best and closest student, from his youth, he had been raised by her...the first student.

Such feelings are incomprehensible to others.

And the people under the heavens all thought Loulan was terrifying, including the other wizards of the Witch Court, they were very afraid of him.

But back then she always felt... Loulan was good.

Because in front of her he was so obedient, so pure and innocent...

Yet it was Loulan who manipulated the people of the Witch Court to launch the world-ending war, slaughtering the Human Race...his goal was to destroy the Human Race, in this regard, his ideology aligned with Shen Zhiyue, Shura, Zhijue.

This contradicted Sui Yi’s stance.

Sui Yi pulled open the drawer, placed the black notebook inside.

Let’s go to Dragon Ape first.

Controlling the big picture, managing the situation is Sui Yi’s main task, while the post-war reconstruction doesn’t fall on her, not even requiring involvement from Mo Ke and Gu Qi, there’s no choice, this is New York, no matter how it’s done it doesn’t require intervention from the Central Plains People, of course, many forces in New York are internally conflicted during the reconstruction of ruins.

To be frank, the Pope was KO’d, Agoleus or Black currently are the strongest Western powerhouses, but these two in front of Sui Yi obviously can’t compare, besides behind Sui Yi there are powerful Void-breaking like Li Luo, which is the only force with a zero death rate in Void-breaking, incredible, as long as Central Plains is willing, they can topple world-class forces three or four times over.

——Don’t forget, whether it’s the mages of Peru, or Eton from Europe, or the Black Warrior’s chiefs, they all stand on the side of the Central Plains.

The post-war accounting has come!

That was Gu Qi and Shun’s matter, the post-war agreement is still being drafted.

Sui Yi helped Li Luo and others recuperate for several days, injuries that should’ve required healing for years or even decades were mostly recovered in her hands in just a few days.

Though Li Luo was an exception.

In the room.

"Give me your hand."

After preparing the ointment, Sui Yi said to Li Luo.

Li Luo glanced at her, stretched out his hand.

Sui Yi placed her hand on the back of Li Luo’s hand, fingers dipped in the ointment and rubbed it onto the fingertips, then pressed onto Li Luo’s fingers, gently yet meticulously massaging, blending the ointment’s magnetic sensation into the skin, flesh, and bones....

"The War God’s Strength is quite overbearing. Even if it can reshape flesh and bones, it loses the agility of a living creature. Over time, it’s easy for the soul to become detached... From now on, you shouldn’t use your hands again. Just focus on healing..."

Sui Yi instructed, the scent of medicine wafted through the air, mingling with a faint green tea aroma. Li Luo felt the pain in her hand diminish, replaced by a soothing coolness. She nodded, but as she looked up slightly, she saw Sui Yi’s slightly lowered face, which seemed to be...

"When are you planning to visit the Dragon Ape?"

"Tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? Are you doing this on purpose?" Li Luo furrowed her brows.

"You need at least another three months to recuperate, and you must also focus on practicing the next volume of the War God’s Atlas, or using it will result in a backlash... So, I really can’t let you accompany me to the Dragon Ape."

"Accompany you? Did I say I’d go with you?" Li Luo replied flatly, her long, black hair falling softly by her ears and resting on her shoulders. Her eyes were as cool as an orchid in front of an ancient mountain temple.

In the tranquility of a quiet mountain, it waits not for mountain rain.

At least it’s not lonely.

Sui Yi smiled gently, raised his head, and gave her a light smile: "Switch to the other hand."

As if she had just been making unreasonable demands.

Li Luo switched hands, turning her face away. Sui Yi withdrew his hand, applied a bit more ointment, and started to massage the other hand.

While massaging, Sui Yi suddenly said, "Recently, it seems you’ve been getting along well with Ah Zui..."

"What do you mean by getting along well? Sleeping together?" Li Luo responded with a faint expression, casually removing the pillow that was on her lap.

Those last five words...

Sui Yi paused slightly, looked up, and smiled, "Like you and me, back then... I used to sleep with you, didn’t I, for over ten years."

A divine remark.

Slept for over ten years.

Li Luo’s expression shifted, she pursed her lips, just about to speak when she noticed a slight change in Sui Yi’s expression. His body leaned back, and his gaze withdrew as if he had seen something he shouldn’t.

Li Luo thought for a second, then looked down at her loose pajamas. Because she had leaned forward, there was an open space at the front. Wearing pajamas without a bra seemed to be a common choice among women; she was no exception.

So...

Li Luo instinctively leaned back, grabbed a pillow to hold in front of her, maintaining a composed expression, yet when she saw Sui Yi’s slight embarrassment, she instinctively said, "Haven’t you seen it for dozens of years, as if it’s your first time?"

Sui Yi also instinctively replied, "Not the first time, right?"

Then Li Luo remembered a certain someone during her bath on the back mountain...

Expressionless, she directly tossed the pillow over...

Just then, someone knocked on the door,

The door was open.

Out of courtesy, that’s all.

Gong Jiu and Flower Demon just watched as the usually aloof and reticent Sect Leader tossed the Ah Li pillow at Sui Yi...

"Well, it seems we came at the wrong time, should we leave?" Gong Jiu deliberately remarked.

Flower Demon: "How can we? I’m from the women’s association, if some unscrupulous doctor is taking advantage of beautiful women under the guise of treating them, I must intervene... Such a good thing, and you didn’t call me!"

With the arrival of these two troublemakers, the awkward atmosphere dissipated, replaced with a comedic air that left Sui Yi and Li Luo feeling powerless.

"Did you two come to see a doctor?" Sui Yi glanced at them, his gaze as calm as water.

Gong Jiu and Flower Demon instinctively stood up straight.

"Yes, yes."

"What medicine do you need?"

Flower Demon: "What medicine, just some massage would do..."

Sui Yi: "That works... Where are you uncomfortable?"

Flower Demon: "The chest."

Gong Jiu: "Chest +2, I have two chests!"

Sui Yi: "....."

Li Luo watched Sui Yi suffer a setback, but she remained silent, enjoying watching Sui Yi being bullied by these two troublemakers...

Sui Yi paused for just a moment, then said, "Then acupuncture might be more effective."

Damn!

Gong Jiu immediately covered her chest, rolling her eyes in resentment, "That’s not fair, is it? Treating us differently? You massaged Li Luo’s hand... Bullying us because we’re not as pretty as she is."

Sui Yi looked carefully at the three of them, finally saying, "Upon closer inspection, that’s indeed the case."

The two of them: "...." Damn!

Li Luo: "...."

After teasing the two troublemakers and slightly flirting with the aloof sect leader, Sui Yi calmly picked up the medical kit and went to the next room.

She walked straight through the wall.

Then she froze for a moment.

Yi, holding a bra in hand, looked at her with a calm expression.

Um.....

"You continue; I’ll wait for you,"

Sui Yi said and walked out onto the balcony.

Yi said nothing, changing clothes, then picked up a stack of documents from the table, walked to the balcony, and sat down.

Looking at the distant ruins, reconstruction had already started. It was expected to soon restore its former prosperity.

Though she didn’t care much about that.
