Tuoba Rui flipped to the next page and said: "I don't like it. The only thing I can do is to try my best to not stop you."

"You clearly stopped him." Hua Ruge muttered.

"This is my compensation for the night I waited for you." Tuoba Rui said in a calm and composed manner.

Hua Ruge knew that he was in the wrong, so he quickly closed his mouth to eat his snacks.

Tuoba Rui's gaze stayed on her for a moment, then with a flip of his hand, he kept the book, stood up and said: "Let's go."

"What are you doing?" Hua Ruge raised his head.

"I'll take you out for a bit." Tuoba Rui pulled her hand over.

"Really? "Where to?" Hua Ruge's eyes shone with stars.

Tuoba Rui did not answer but instead pulled her out of the palace, and slowly walked towards the Yan Du Plaza. Along the way, the sounds of hawking could be heard incessantly from both sides of the street, and there were actually some places that were even more lively than usual.

Hua Ruge wandered around the stalls, and only after a while did he remember that right now, the curtain had fallen on the Hundred Sect Competition and the secret realms were being opened by the disciples of the various sects who were pouring into the Yan Du in an unending stream. It was right at this moment when the most relaxed and most crowded of people were present, causing the entire street to naturally be bustling with noise.

Even at night, there were still many disciples of the large sects wandering the streets. The sounds of people selling and clamoring filled the ears, and people would naturally feel at ease in this kind of environment.

Hua Ruge smiled as he looked at Tuoba Rui: "How did you know?"

"Yes." Even in this noisy street he did not raise his voice, but his magnetic voice was very recognizable and did not affect his reception.

"Thank you. I like it here." Hua Ruge said as he looked around.

Tuoba Rui did not say anything, only holding her hand and allowing her to stroll around.

Hua Ruge knew that Tuoba Rui did not like walking in crowded areas, so he quickly bought two small pills and brought him to the side of the street, near the roof, where he ate and watched the bustling city.

Tuoba Rui hugged her to his chest, his wide sleeves almost wrapping around her, making her look like a child.

And the sense of security he gave was enough to allow Hua Ruge to remove layer after layer of armor, allowing him to reveal his truest self in a relaxed state.

"Open your mouth and eat one." Hua Ruge brought the pill to Tuoba Rui's mouth.

Tuoba Rui was slightly disgusted, but still ate it. Hua Ruge turned his head around in satisfaction, and said while eating: "Actually, coming out for a walk wouldn't be that uncomfortable, right?"

Tuoba Rui rested his chin on hers, and rubbed it against her head from time to time, not speaking.

Hua Ruge knew his temperament, and started to discuss the current situation by himself. It seemed as if the owner of the Yan Du, or the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace, could earn as much money as they wanted by selling goods for so many days and paying taxes.

Tuoba Rui listened quietly and replied her occasionally.

After going around to the Heaven Seeking Pill Palace, Hua Ruge couldn't help but ask, "I just asked, the merchants in this city actually have a 30% tax rate. Do you think this Heaven Seeking Pill Palace is that bad?"

"Yes." Tuoba Rui replied.

"Although you might not be able to collect a 10% tax like me, under normal circumstances, you can't get more than 20%. 30% is not something that can be justified." Hua Ruge took a bite and said, "You said that a person who wouldn't let go of such a small opportunity would be willing to give up on entering the Mythical Realm of Ten Directions to fight for opportunities?"

"What are you trying to say?"

"It's nothing much, I just feel a bit conflicted." Hua Ruge was suspicious.

Tuoba Rui was not concerned about the matters of others, so Hua Ruge did not continue to discuss this topic.

Just then, fireworks were set off in the direction of the plaza, the pitch-black sky was instantly dyed with a bright color, the brilliant light made everyone's eyes light up, Hua Ruge opened her small mouth, and was captivated by it.

"So beautiful." she murmured.

Tuoba Rui's gaze rarely turned away from Hua Ruge as he fell into deep thought.

The fireworks went on for a while, and then there were cheers from below. The two stayed outside until nightfall, and only when the stall was about to close did they return to the palace.

Tuoba Rui saw that she was happy, and said: "If you like, I'll bring you to play everyday."

"No matter how good something is, it will get tired of looking at it every day. Let's just go over occasionally. Normally, we would still be at home reading and chatting." Hua Ruge was planning there.

"Can't you get tired of anything?"

"Of course." Hua Ruge answered without even thinking: "It's you."

"Hmm?" Tuoba Rui raised his eyebrows, as though he was curious and as if he was proud.

Hua Ruge held onto his arm and sighed: "If there comes a day that I lose you, I'm afraid I won't want to join in on the fun anymore."

"What are you thinking about? There won't be that day." Tuoba Rui reached out to pinch her little face.

Hua Ruge smiled and dodged his Demon Claw.

Tuoba Rui pulled her back and carried her in his hands as he walked towards the room, his posture making it seem as if he was lifting a chick.

"Let go of me. If others were to see me like this, my glorious name would be ruined." Hua Ruge struggled.

Tuoba Rui consoled her as he walked, "Don't worry, you don't have a heroic name to begin with. There's no room for destruction."

"Are you trying to reassure me or add fuel to the fire?"

"It's almost the same, I'm back to sleep."

"No, I'm unhappy today. Separated."

"I told you about the bed."

"That's because you're unreasonable!"

"Talking reason is boring, how can it be compared to chatting."

Hua Ruge clenched his teeth.

The candlelight in the room was extinguished, and the scene in the courtyard became one with the night. Only the gentle moonlight could be seen, making the atmosphere quiet and gentle.

The transaction for the Yan Du s brand became more and more intense, and after a period of low tide, it became even more peak. A single brand's value was a set of Mysterious rank cultivation technique, but in exchange, it would cost over a million spirit stones.

At the same time, the second batch of disciples from various sects had also arrived. Because the Great Yu Dynasty was relatively close, they had also arrived.

Hua Ruge was in the middle of practising his pole technique in the courtyard, after hearing the news his eyes lit up, the pole slightly deviated, almost hitting Ye Wanrou who was delivering the message.

Ye Wanrou dodged to the side, and said cautiously: "You aren't trying to steal my money, right?"

"Even if I have to kill myself, I must find a rich one." Hua Ruge said.

Hao Shou who was by her side immediately crossed his arms and looked at her vigilantly.

Hua Ruge laughed, "Just the two of you."

With that, she kept her rod and shouted towards the room: "Xiao Binger should be here. Let's go take a look."

"Go ahead and bring me over." Tuoba Rui's indifferent voice came from inside.2

"Alright then." Hua Ruge nodded and went out.

Ye Wanrou asked from the back, "It's rare to see her so happy, who is Xiao Binger?"

"My guess isn't wrong. It should be that High Priest from Great Yu Dynasty." Hao Shou said.

"The one who grasped the mysterious power and was able to communicate with the Gods of the upper realms?" Ye Wanrou asked with her mouth wide open.

Hao Shou nodded his head, "It is said that the development of the Great Yu Dynasty is extremely fast.

"She really knows everyone." What Ye Wanrou was most interested in was Hua Ruge's relationship.
