396: The Empress asked me to come and inspect your work.

"You are not allowed to call this Emperor that!"

Jiang Hanxi frowned slightly as she looked at Wang Feng, speaking coldly with a hint of displeasure.

Wang Feng was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle. Looking at Jiang Hanxi in this state, he felt a strange sense of familiarity and helplessness.

"Alright...... my Lady."

Wang Feng slightly lowered his tone, drawing out his words, then called out "my Lady" again.

Jiang Hanxi: .......

The people around them also stared at Wang Feng in confusion, wondering why, despite his audacity, the Empress still didn't kill him.

"You are not allowed to call me 'my Lady' either."

Although Jiang Hanxi said this, she didn't feel much anger internally.

She even felt a sense of... pleasure? That she herself didn't understand.

"Alright...... my Wife."

"Alright, alright, my Wife, did you bring me here to execute me?"

Seeing that Jiang Hanxi still wanted to say something, Wang Feng waved his hand and interrupted her.

Wang Feng realized that Jiang Hanxi still seemed to indulge him in everything, only being a bit stubborn with her words. Otherwise, he would have been slapped to death by now.

Upon realizing this, Wang Feng's courage grew, no longer as timid as when he first met Jiang Hanxi in the Ninth Life.

"You trespassed into my dwelling, you deserve punishment."

Jiang Hanxi was momentarily stunned, then continued to speak to Wang Feng, not even realizing she had been led astray.

"But... you used to be afraid of Husband getting hurt. Are you really sure you want to punish Husband this time?"

When Wang Feng said this, the surrounding Immortal Cultivators gasped, looking at Wang Feng in shock.

This boy is truly terrifying!

Had he not heard the rumors that had spread throughout the streets and alleys?

Mentioning the word "Husband" in front of the Empress would result in being chopped into eight pieces and fed to the Ice Kirin!

The Ice Kirin was inexplicably dragged into this. If it knew, it would probably be jumping around in a panic!

Chopped into eight pieces was true, but it hadn't eaten anything!

Jiang Hanxi also suddenly froze when she heard Wang Feng's words, a faint pain inexplicably throbbing in her heart, as if some shackles were binding her soul.

"But... you trespassed into my dwelling..."

Jiang Hanxi's cold voice inexplicably softened a bit. Although still cold, there was a strange hint of submissiveness.

"I understand! We're just going through the motions, and then you'll take me back, right?!"

Wang Feng suddenly smiled, that handsome smile causing Jiang Hanxi to lose herself for a moment, though her expression showed no significant emotion.

"No..."

"Let's go! Does Husband not understand your nature?"

Jiang Hanxi tried to say something more, but Wang Feng interrupted her, then instinctively took her hand.

Jiang Hanxi didn't expect Wang Feng to suddenly hold her hand. She seemed to be still processing it, staring blankly at her clasped right hand.

A strange feeling surged within Jiang Hanxi's heart again. For a moment, she was lost in thought, until Wang Feng tried to lead her inside, which brought her back to her senses.

"Let go, how dare you!"

Jiang Hanxi quickly pulled her hand away, her earlobes beneath her hair actually turning a little red.

But as her hand was pulled back, a strange feeling inexplicably arose in her heart, as if it was... reluctance?

No, that's not right. He was disrespectful to her, shouldn't she hit him?!

Jiang Hanxi felt a little startled, what was with that strange feeling of reluctance in her heart?

"You won't? Alright, if you won't, then forget it."

Wang Feng looked back at her, pouting twice, then could only helplessly turn and walk into the grand and magnificent Enforcement Hall by himself.

Seeing this, Jiang Hanxi's red lips moved slightly behind him, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say...

Finally, she had intended to just leave, letting this seemingly foolish yet pleasing man handle things himself.

However, Jiang Hanxi thought about it for a moment. She didn't know what she was thinking, but in the end, she still followed him.

And this scene was also witnessed by the group of cultivators, even the people of the Enforcement Hall widened their eyes.

All the cultivators present couldn't help but gasp, all chattering among themselves.

At this moment, everyone inexplicably began to believe what the handsome man said about "going through the motions."

Perhaps this man trespassed into the Empress's dwelling and was seen by the Ice Immortal.

But the Empress favored this man, so she came to go through the motions to deceive the Ice Immortal?

Just as the people of the Enforcement Hall were about to imagine Jiang Hanxi and Wang Feng having an affair, an extremely cold gaze fell upon them.

Those who could hold positions in the Enforcement Hall were all shrewd individuals, and they quickly looked at Jiang Hanxi, forcing smiles.

Beautiful! The Empress was truly too beautiful!

The people of the Enforcement Hall secretly sighed. Although the Empress would sometimes show herself, the number of times he had seen her did not exceed three.

However, he could only indulge in his fantasies internally. If his expression showed it, the Empress might directly slap him to death if she was displeased.

"Empress, welcome to the Enforcement Hall. How may we be of service?"

The group of people from the Enforcement Hall quickly went to greet her, forming a line in front of the two, cupping their hands, bowing their heads, and asking softly.

"It's nothing. She asked me to inspect how well your work is being done."

Wang Feng sized up these people, pretending to scan everything around him.

The row of Immortal Cultivators from the Enforcement Hall in front of him, dressed in dark robes with the characters "Law Enforcement" printed on their backs, all froze for a moment.

"Then... what do you think?"

The leading elder of the Enforcement Hall unconsciously used a respectful title, and his attitude towards Wang Feng also became one of cupped hands and forced smiles.

Because to be able to call the Empress "Husband" for so long in front of her, and even be disrespectful to her, yet not be slapped to death...

This man was definitely the first in history.

It should be exactly as they thought: the Empress and this man had a very good relationship, but she was just stubborn.

"Not bad, not bad. The hall is quite magnificent and beautiful, and your attitude is also good."

Wang Feng stood with his hands behind his back, looking around with a satisfied expression, muttering to himself.

Wang Feng felt relieved now that his goal had been achieved. Jiang Hanxi was the Empress in the lower realm, and she was still the Empress in the Immortal Realm!

He just wanted to impress upon others that he and the Empress had a very good relationship.

This way, he should be able to move freely in this unknown place, after all, Jiang Hanxi seemed to hold a high position and power right now.

Jiang Hanxi stood beside him, quietly watching his performance, not speaking, evidently still recovering from the hand-holding moment.

However, after a while, Jiang Hanxi suppressed her emotions and slightly raised her eyes.

"Then you go and inspect the Celestial Prison now."

Jiang Hanxi's words were simple and easy to understand: she wanted the people of the Enforcement Hall to imprison Wang Feng in the Celestial Prison.

"Remember to arrange it properly for him."

Jiang Hanxi seemed still a little worried, her words changing as she spoke coldly to the Immortal Cultivators of the Enforcement Hall.

The people of the Enforcement Hall had heard these hints so many times that their ears were practically itching.

Generally speaking, these hints meant imprisonment in the Celestial Prison for punishment.

However, their current thoughts were different from before; they estimated that the Empress's words were literal, not hints.
