My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Clapping!

The nearby girls enthusiastically applauded. In hushed tones, they whispered:

"This young man is impressive. He struck up a conversation effortlessly, hitting the right spot!"

"He has such a strong arm. I envy his wife..."

"Much stronger than my husband!"

...

These words made their husbands feel a bit uncomfortable. They couldn't understand why Gu Lan could throw it up so casually. But at this point, no one dared to say anything; their faces were almost swollen from embarrassment!

At this moment, Gu Lan smiled faintly and returned to Mu Yuyan's side. "It seems fate has decided that our destiny will endure, lasting as long as the sea and rocks."

Mu Yuyan's stunning smile bloomed, and her melodious voice praised, "Darling, you're amazing!"

Then, she tiptoed and generously rewarded Gu Lan with a sweet kiss on the face.

Now, the nearby onlookers, especially the guys, felt a pang of jealousy. It wasn't just about having a beautiful wife, but also publicly displaying their affection...

Chuckles!

What a lack of decency!

However, the one feeling most uncomfortable at the moment was the old man disguised as the Matchmaking Deity.

Seeing Gu Lan's gaze, he quickly forced a smile, though it looked a bit bitter. "Young sir, you're truly skilled. This stall has been passed down through generations in my family; I really can't give it away!"

Gu Lan laughed, "Who wants your stall... You can do business, just remember not to cheat others, especially don't bully scholars."

"Of course! I'll remember, and i won't do it again!"

The owner expressed his gratitude repeatedly, impressed by Gu Lan's generosity.

Leaving that place, Gu Lan turned to Mu Yuyan, "My lady, feeling tired from the stroll? Do you want to take a break in the nearby teahouse?"

"Yes, thank you, darling."

Mu Yuyan nodded in agreement. She wasn't tired herself; the Sword Immortal could fly for days and nights without exhaustion. However, she was concerned about Gu Lan getting tired.

"There's a restaurant ahead; let's take a break here."

Mu Yuyan pointed to the fluttering sign of a restaurant.

"Sure."

Gu Lan held her hand and entered the lively restaurant, glancing casually around.

At this moment, his gaze inadvertently swept into a corner, where he saw several familiar figures.

"Old Yang, Yexi? And Miss Tan, what a coincidence; did you also come to the temple fair?"

"Oh, Lord Gu?"

As Gu Lan approached, he saw Old Yang toasting and exchanging cups with the local county magistrate!

"Turns out it's Young Master Gu."

Old Yang grinned and pointed at Dou Fu, "This Mr. Dou is a straightforward person; he gets along well with us common folks!"

"Master Gu!"

Dou Fu hurriedly saluted.

He knew that you were from the Gu family, and with the support of the higher-ups, he could be so friendly... Gu Lan thought to himself, nodding to acknowledge him.

Old Yang made room, and Gu Lan sat down.

"Why did Mr. Dou have the interest to come to the temple fair this time? Weren't you usually in the yamen handling official affairs?"

"Don't mention it, Young Master!"

Dou Fu helplessly said, "That damn man-eating monster, we still haven't caught it... Ah! It's just that I didn't report it truthfully. Otherwise, if His Majesty knew about so many deaths, my official hat would be gone!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yuyan calmly glanced at him.

Liu Yexi's mouth twitched.

"Haven't caught it yet? Is it that difficult?"

Gu Lan frowned slightly. In a place like Langzhou City, densely populated with common people, such a tricky monster shouldn't have appeared.

"Sigh! Langzhou Iron Cavalry and the immortal elders have been invited, but there's still no clue!"

Dou Fu sighed, "If we don't catch it in another half a month, and that monster keeps causing havoc... I'm afraid this will be the last time you see me, Young Master."

"Oh.."

Gu Lan looked at him sympathetically, thought for a moment, and then said, "Has anyone from the Ma family come?"

"Arrived!"

Dou Fu nodded, "The eldest son of the Ma family died here, and Ma Bo couldn't sit still. He's now staying in my yamen."

Gu Lan was a little surprised after hearing this, but soon smiled.

It seemed that this old man came out to accompany the patrol camp to guard not only because he urgently wanted to catch the monster but also because someone was pressuring him.

"You can apply for more military personnel. Catch the monster as soon as possible, and you can make amends for your mistakes."

Gu Lan kindly offered a suggestion.

"Yes, I'll follow Young Master's advice."

Dou Fu nodded silently.

After a few more rounds of drinking, Mu Yuyan, who had been listening to their conversation for a while, whispered to Gu Lan that she wanted to get some fresh air. She glanced at Liu Yexi and walked out of the restaurant.

"Young Master, I'll also take Lady to get some fresh air."

Liu Yexi patted his buttocks and followed.

Outside the restaurant:

"Yexi, after strolling through half the city, did you sense any traces of the beast?" Mu Yuyan asked calmly.

"No!" Liu Yexi replied. Following the female Emperor's instructions before leaving, he had thoroughly checked the streets and alleys, finding no lurking demons.

"That's strange..." Mu Yuyan frowned, murmuring in confusion.

Liu Yexi, in charge of the Imperial Announcements Bureau, excelled in detection and reconnaissance techniques. Now at the level of a King, no demonic energy could escape his detection among peers...

However, if it were a powerful demon at the peak of the King Realm or even the Emperor Realm, why would it bother with clandestine activities in a place like Langzhou?

"Could it be that for some other reason, this demon must conceal its identity?" Mu Yuyan speculated, her slender fingers tapping her chin, a pensive expression on her face.

At that moment, a voice sounded from behind, accompanied by the approach of two figures.

"Miss, may I have the honor of inviting you for a drink?" A young scholar, fanning himself, strolled over, followed by a hunched old man whose face was hidden beneath a black robe.

He had noticed Mu Yuyan when she exited the restaurant, just a fleeting glance, yet the ethereal charm and graceful figure remained indelibly in his mind.

The young scholar was quite amazed.

In a place like Langzhou, with the protection of the Elder Dragon, he naturally had nothing to worry about, so he came over to strike up a conversation.

Mu Yuyan turned around, looking at him with confusion. The young scholar then saw her full face. Exquisite and alluring, she seemed like a celestial being descended to the mortal realm. Under the dim red lanterns, her jade-like beauty made everything else lose color.

Even someone who had seen countless beauties like him was momentarily stunned!

When he regained his senses, his eyes were filled with a fiery and eager light.

"I am Tuoba Mo, a scholar from Dongzhou."

"On a journey here, I felt a strong affinity with the young lady and wished to extend an invitation. I wonder if the lady would grant me the honor of enjoying the moon and some wine in my room?" Tuoba Mo smiled, bowing gracefully, appearing cultured and refined.

Born with a beautiful and delicate appearance, he exudes an aristocratic temperament. Numerous women had thrown themselves at him in the past, making him quite confident.

He decided not to rush and forcefully use his strength but planned to gradually conquer Mu Yuyan with his charm.

In Tuoba Mo's view, after seeing his appearance, the lady in front of him would be covered in peach blossoms in the next moment, then shyly let him lead her back to his inn room, just like the countless women he had played with before.

However, at this moment, Mu Yuyan's pretty face was indifferent as she coldly glanced at him, her beautiful eyes even carrying a small amount of contempt!

Her red lips gently parted, uttering a single word: "Scram."
