Mo Yi silently tucked the jade ruyi scepter into his chest, afraid to look at the playful expression in Madam Mo’s eyes.
But after leaving the courtyard, as he touched the spot where the jade ruyi scepter was tucked, a sense of disappointment washed over Mo Yi’s face.
Even if he wanted to give it, Bai Ren probably wouldn’t be happy. Compared to the overwhelming power of her foster father, he was far inferior.
Lost in thought, Mo Yi suddenly felt bewildered. After all, this was the first time he had experienced love and affection in his life.
Though he thought he shouldn’t always disturb her, his feet involuntarily led him in the direction of Bai Ren’s residence.
However, as he approached the path near her residence, he heard voices not far away.
“You’re nothing but a lowly dancer, even if you were given to the Lord. At most, I could persuade my father to give you to me!”
“Yeah, our master didn’t even mind that you’re too tall, not petite enough. He even took a fancy to you. That’s your good fortune!
How dare you ignore us and think of leaving just like that, you have quite the audacity!”
Mo Yi recognized the voices of Huang Fuhao and his entourage. From their conversation, he could tell they were targeting someone in the mansion, but he didn’t know who.
Normally, he wouldn’t interfere with what happened in the mansion. He was rarely in the mansion too, so he didn’t encounter such situations often.
However, the mention of a dancer caught Mo Yi’s attention this time, prompting him to take a few steps forward. And then he saw the woman being stared at by Huang Fuhao, turning out to be the one he had been thinking of all along—Bai Ren.
Bai Ren felt that his luck today was really bad. He had intended to go out and meet his partner by chance, but he hadn’t walked far when he encountered these two unlucky characters.
Seeing the lascivious look in Huang Fuhao’s murky eyes, Bai Ren wanted to teach him a lesson. However, he was only here for a honeymoon and didn’t want to attract too much attention.
But this guy, who seemed to think he was important, stopped him and started spouting nonsense.
Bai Ren didn’t want to waste time arguing with Huang Fuhao, so he rolled his eyes and prepared to knock out both him and his lackey with his spiritual power.
As for whether their mental realms would be damaged, or if they would have nightmares or even become foolish, he didn’t care.
However, just as Bai Ren was about to act, he sensed Mo Yi’s presence nearby.

Truly, a “delicate” flower. With such a delicate appearance, it shouldn’t be a problem to pull off a weeping willow.
However, something miraculous happened.
Bai Ren’s face showed a terrified expression as he took a step back, his eyes wide with helplessness and even glistening with tears.
The little fox in the mental realm was momentarily stunned by the acting skills of its master. At the same time, several other people present were also taken aback by Bai Ren’s expression.
Huang Fuhao thought the woman in front of him had realized his power and was afraid.
Meanwhile, Mo Yi, feeling heartbroken when he saw the delicate woman that had been in his mind being bullied.
A surge of anger rose within him, and Mo Yi’s face darkened with fury.
Seeing the man approaching Bai Ren step by step, seemingly intending to reach out and grab her, Mo Yi quickly stepped forward, blocking Bai Ren’s sight, and said to Huang Fuhao, “What are you doing?”
Mo Yi’s voice was icy, his aura fully unleashed.
The killing intent of a battlefield warrior emanated from him, causing Huang Fuhao to involuntarily shiver and take a subconscious step back.
However, realizing this, he felt that he had lost face.
The man in front of him was just an adopted son whom his father didn’t even bother acknowledging. He was nothing more than a servant in their mansion. What was there to fear?
With this thought, Huang Fuhao’s chest puffed up, and he coldly snorted at Mo Yi, saying, “What does it have to do with you? Is your surname Huang Fuhao?”
Huang Fuhao lifted his chin arrogantly.
Bai Ren, on the side, perked up, waiting for his partner to defend him while also enjoying the spectacle.
Internally, he mocked Huang Fuhao for having such large nostrils, probably big enough to fit two spring onions. He even imagined that if Huang Fuhao tilted his head back too far, his brain, as small as a soybean, might just fall out of his nostrils.
In the mental realm, 002 chuckled at Bai Ren’s sarcasm, rolling around playfully. The fox bristles with laughter.
Unaware of Bai Ren’s thoughts, Mo Yi thought his beloved Bai Ren had been grievously wronged but could only endure silently, not daring to utter a word.
He was accustomed to Huang Fuhao’s haughty demeanor, and in the past, he might have tolerated it. But today, he couldn’t let this man go.
Standing in front of Bai Ren in an obvious protective stance, Mo Yi’s actions only further angered Huang Fuhao.
Huang Fuhao was surprised that Mo Yi, who usually didn’t retort no matter how he ridiculed him, suddenly had the audacity to interfere in his affairs, so he became infuriated.
“Alright, Mo Yi, do you really think I won’t dare to touch you?”
With those words, Huang Fuhao exerted his full strength and threw a punch at Mo Yi.
Seeing this, Bai Ren’s gaze sharpened, and he once again prepared to launch his spiritual energy.
But how could Mo Yi just stand there and take the beating? He immediately circulated his internal energy.
As a result, Huang Fuhao’s hand hit Mo Yi, but Mo Yi remained unaffected. Instead, Huang Fuhao himself was injured and fell to the ground. His palm was covered in bruises, causing him to gasp in pain.
“Master, master! How dare you injure my master? I’ll report this to the Lord!” The servant rushed to help Huang Fuhao, simultaneously berating Mo Yi, hoping to ingratiate himself with his master.
However, Mo Yi paid no attention to his antics and simply said, “Fine, let him go to the Lord. He wanted to harm me, but ended up falling himself. Such weakness will surely make the Lord lose face!”
With that, Mo Yi looked at Huang Fuhao, who had already stood up, and directly kicked the servant, breaking his leg in front of Huang Fuhao.
“Mo Yi, what are you doing?” Huang Fuhao gritted his teeth.
“It’s just teaching a lesson to a bad servant for the young master. You don’t need to thank me.” Mo Yi remained expressionless, ignoring the servant’s wails and continued, “I may not be surnamed Huang, but I am the commander in chief appointed by the emperor.
I’m sure you wouldn’t want others to know that the young master of the Huang Mansion is forcing others arbitrarily. If the Imperial Censorate finds out, they will surely report it, accusing the young master of having loose morals.
By then, even the Lord will be furious!”
Mo Yi stepped forward, looking coldly at Huang Fuhao.
Huang Fuhao’s entire arm was almost numb, and he stared at Mo Yi with red eyes, saying, “How dare you threaten me!”
He was furious inside but couldn’t do anything about it. Despite having some martial arts training since childhood, he was no match for Mo Yi. Moreover, the incident of him falling earlier was something he couldn’t mention without losing face.
Most importantly, he knew Mo Yi was right. While his father might not care much about a mere dancer, if news of his behavior reached the Imperial Censorate, it would be a huge embarrassment. His father wouldn’t forgive him easily then.
With these thoughts in mind, even though he felt indignant, he could only leave in a huff.
As for the arrogant servant who had already become fearful of Mo Yi, seeing his master ignoring him, he dragged his broken leg and left in a hurry.
Watching the figure leave, Bai Ren sneered inwardly. He had already retracted his probing consciousness when Mo Yi released his internal energy.
When Mo Yi turned to look at him, Bai Ren immediately put on a grateful expression.
“Thank you, Young General, for saving me. If it weren’t for you, I might have been…”
Bai Ren said, leaning towards Mo Yi.
“You’re too kind, Miss Bai. It’s the least I could do!” Mo Yi stammered, unsure whether to support Bai Ren’s shoulder. He didn’t want to compromise her reputation but also didn’t want to leave her in distress.
Blushing, he was at a loss for what to do.
Finally, Bai Ren, feeling neglected after waiting for the dog to come to him for so long, discreetly shrugged off Mo Yi’s arm and stood up. However, when her eyes met Mo Yi’s, they were filled with affection and sincerity.
“You’re too polite, Young General. I came here alone, with no relatives or friends. You’ve helped me multiple times. Now, you’ve saved me again. I don’t know how to repay you.”
With a look of embarrassment, Bai Ren teased her partner, “I’m grateful to you, but alas, I’m short on resources and possessions. All I have to offer is myself…”
“No, that’s not necessary! Miss Bai, please don’t say that!” Mo Yi hastily waved his hands, his mind a jumble. He didn’t know what to say.
Of course, he understood what Bai Ren meant—she was suggesting to repay him with her own body!
Although he genuinely liked Bai Ren and was indeed attracted to her, he helped her out of genuine concern, not for such sordid reasons.
Mo Yi’s face turned red with embarrassment, unsure of how to respond.
Seeing his partner’s awkwardness, Bai Ren’s throat instinctively rolled. He really wanted to grab Mo Yi and kiss him passionately right then and there. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the right time. Their interesting honeymoon trip had just begun, and he had enough patience to create more fun memories for them.
So, he decided not to embarrass Mo Yi further and smiled, saying, “I won’t tease you anymore. I know Young General has a kind heart. I remember you liked the flute music I played. How about tonight, Young General, you come find me, and I’ll play a few tunes to express my gratitude?”
“Sure, that sounds great!”
Mo Yi immediately agreed, feeling a strange itch in his heart as he saw Bai Ren’s beautiful smile. He knew it was improper, but he couldn’t resist.
Mo Yi felt a sense of anticipation. Even though he hadn’t eaten any sweets, he could taste a hint of sweetness on his tongue.
Bai Ren acting innocent is fun to watch
Mo Yi is so pure ❤️ and Bai Ren is in his Movie Empress era 😂
Thank you so very much for the update!!~♥️
