Wife, are you jealous?

Baili Hongzhuang's slightly suppressed heart gradually eased with Emperor Beichen's words.

She didn't know the story between Emperor Beichen and Han Xiling, but since Emperor Beichen dared to introduce her like this, it proved that their relationship was still open and honest.

"Hello," Han Xiling spoke first, her gentle eyes shimmering with complex emotions.

"Hello."

Baili Hongzhuang remained indifferent, but she didn't overlook the fleeting coldness in Han Xiling's eyes.

This Han Xiling was definitely not the elegant and graceful woman everyone thought she was. She was probably a ruthless person as well.

However, Baili Hongzhuang was never afraid of threats.

The two women stood face to face, exchanging polite words, but anyone could feel the icy atmosphere between them.

Xia Zhiqing and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of who Han Xiling was, at least Emperor Beichen's attitude was clear.

With that, they could rest assured.

"The relic is about to open. Let's rest first," Emperor Beichen said lightly. After giving a smile to Han Xiling, he held Baili Hongzhuang's hand and walked back to the group.

Han Xiling's gaze remained fixed on the hands held by Emperor Beichen and Baili Hongzhuang.

She had known Emperor Beichen for so many years, and he had never been so close to another woman, nor had he ever left her alone.

But now, with the appearance of this woman, everything had changed.

Yan Lingxuan and the others exchanged glances, remaining silent. Today's performance was truly spectacular.

Ji Dair, whose face had been extremely unsightly, felt a little better now. Since even Han Xiling had been outdone, it didn't matter if she was outdone as well.

Baili Hongzhuang sat on the ground, her exquisite and ethereal face devoid of any expression, remaining silent.

Emperor Beichen observed Baili Hongzhuang's expression and understood that the incident just now had probably made her unhappy. He quickly explained.

"Wife, don't misunderstand."

Baili Hongzhuang raised an eyebrow, "Misunderstand?"

With so many people watching, Emperor Beichen actually said it was just a misunderstanding?

Seeing Baili Hongzhuang slightly displeased, Emperor Beichen couldn't help but become anxious. But in the next moment, a deep smile appeared in his eyes.

Baili Hongzhuang frowned slightly. Why was Emperor Beichen still smiling at her like this in such a situation?

"Why are you smiling at me like that?" Baili Hongzhuang said coldly.

Emperor Beichen chuckled lightly, "Wife, are you jealous?"

As soon as the words fell, Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help but pause. Was she jealous?

"Hahaha, jealous, jealous!" Little Hei chuckled. Wasn't his master showing signs of jealousy like this?

Of course, Baili Hongzhuang would never admit to such a thing.

"I'm not."

Seeing this, Emperor Beichen didn't expose Baili Hongzhuang's pretense. He simply held her hand tightly and slowly recounted his story.

"I grew up in a sect, raised by my master. Han Xiling is the granddaughter of the elder, and we grew up together, so our relationship is very good.

Don't overthink it. I only see Han Xiling as a younger sister. As for love between a man and a woman, my heart only has you."

Emperor Beichen gazed into Baili Hongzhuang's eyes, his handsome eyes filled with sincerity and deep affection.

He had never truly felt emotions for any woman before. It was only after Baili Hongzhuang appeared that he experienced the first stirring of love.

Until now, he felt that he had suddenly become a worthless existence, as if it was destined in the heavens.
