The whole time, the guard stared at the two women with a dumbfounded expression, ascertaining that the Wangfei his Master had chose definitely had a screw loose but was too afraid to show it.

On the other hand, Rong Jian's lips lifted into a warm smile as he watched his partner laugh her heart out, which caused the guard to want to scratch his eyes out to make sure he saw it right. 

When Shen Tianyu finally managed to stop laughing, taking deeep breaths to stabilize her breathing again, she looked at the flickering ball of green light. Tired of holding it with outstretched hands, she tried to make a platform below it with her spiritual power and lifted it from her hand. Seeing that it didn't burn through her spiritual power, she let her hand down and had the green flame float in midair, uncaring that the young woman on the cross was so frightened her teeth were clattering and her eyes were rolling into the back of her skull. With a green light casting an unearthly glow on her skin, Shen Tianyu stepped forward.

Suddnely, Mi Chou's body sagged, the chains making a clacking sound as it tried to keep her on the cross. Shen Tianyu walked over with an amused smile and poked the young woman who had fallen into a dead faint.

\"Tian'er is certainly talented. Even when I was dealing with her, she wasn't this frightened.\" Rong Jian didn't move from where he entered but raised his eyebrow.

\"Pft. I bet she thought I was a vengeful ghost. If she's so scared of unearthly retribution then she shouldn't have done that in the first place. Well, it just means more fun for me.\" She walked around Mi Chou and the cross as if examining her handiwork. \"But really these people are so easy, I haven't even taken anything in my hands and they're already squealing like pigs being slaughtered.\" She wrapped her hands behind her back when she was done and turned to leave.

\"Already leaving?\" Rong Jian stepped aside to let her go first.

\"I'm just here to note the path today, wasn't I? I'll take my time with this one at a later date. Yaoyao is still waiting for me at my courtyard.\" Shen Tianyu already considered the courtyard Rong Jian had assigned as her own. 

\"Hmph. So your Yaoyao is more important than your husband? Looks like she really is a demon[1].\" Rong Jian let out a huff as they left the prison, the guard having the mind left in him to lock the cell door when they stepped out of it. However, he just continued to stare at the couple, or more specifically, his Master who was speaking more than five syllables every time he opened his mouth. Shen Tianyu noticed but didn't really minded it, though Rong Jian glared back at the guard who then dropped his gaze to the ground instead.

... 

\"Yaoyao! I'm back!\" Shen Tianyu announced into the guest courtyard as the servants were busying themselves with redecorating the room and moving in necessities like wooden chests with colorful cloth spilling out of it and clacking containers of makeup.

\"Lingling! you're finished with your business?\" Bai Yaoxuan who had been watching the servants and occassionally inserting her opinions, which were essentially commands since she was a valued guest of the Wangfei, ran up to her best friend of two worlds with the other's white wolf trotting right behind her.

\"Mhm. You're still not done with moving in here?\" She looked around at the half-hung curtains and shutterless windows.

\"I said it was fine as it was but then they insisted on renovating the place so...\" Bai Yaoxuan shrugged with a dry laugh. \"It's not like I have a lot of personal belongings so I really don't see the point.\"

\"Isn't it just because you're a valuable guest that's going to be staying an indefinite amount of time? I'm sure they're just trying to welcome you in their own way.\" Shen Tianyu reassured her, not mentioning the fact that some servants seem to fear and revere her husband-to-be.

\"Maybe. anyways since you're done, why don't we go have some lunch?\" just as Bai Yaoxuan rubbed her stomach at the thought of food, the stomach of the girl in front of her growled. Shen Tianyu put  ahand over her stomach with a slight dusting of pink on her cheeks. 

\"Good idea.\" A rough man's voice sunded in Shen Tianyu's head, who then looked down at the white wolf who reached her waist when standing up.

\"Yeah, it is lunchtime. But eating here might be troublesome and Ah-Jian is busy with his business. How about we eat at a restaurant? You'll get the chance to experience the good cusisine of this country with me.\" Shen Tianyu was already pulling on the other's arm, ready tp head up.

\"I think we should eat here... I mean just yesterday...\" Bai Yaoxuan frowned, standing in place despite the other's physical invitation.

\"It's fine. I took care of it without even a scratch. Besides, if you're worried about me protecting two people, Xue Lang is here too. It can be your guardian. And about money, I already said I'd pay for your expenses.\" She started to swing the other's arm gently like a child trying to convince their parent to buy them a certain toy with their cuteness.
