Chapter 346: The Foolishness of Others
After Yan Yin left, Ji Chan complained to Shen Cheng: "Why did you tell him that I was still alive?"

She wanted to keep pretending to be dead, so as to avoid all the trouble.

As a result, Shen Cheng told Yan Yin that she was still alive. When Yan Yin took Xiao Qingque to the Astrology Palace for refuge, Ji Chan knew that Shen Cheng was trying to divert trouble. If he had not defeated Jin Xing, Jin Xing would probably have run to the Astrology Palace to cause trouble.

Ji Chan's words seemed to be complaining about Shen Cheng leaking the news that she was alive, but in fact she was complaining about Shen Cheng bringing danger to the Astrology Palace.

Shen Cheng smiled and replied: "If you really don't want people to know that you are still alive, then I can help you."

Ji Chan quickly refused: "No, I suddenly feel that it doesn't matter even if others know about it. Yan Yin is not the kind of person who would talk nonsense everywhere."

She was afraid that Shen Cheng would really beat her to death, and then no one would know that she was still alive.

Ning Qing couldn't help laughing when he saw Ji Chan's timid look.

She grew up with Ji Chan and knew that Ji Chan had always been a shameless person. Even Leng Li couldn't do anything to her. She didn't expect that Ji Chan would be timid in front of Shen Cheng.

Ji Chan caught Ning Qing's narrow smile, and her face became slightly hot. She waved her hand and said, "Get out."

Ning Qing did not move, but instead looked down at Shen Cheng.

This scene made Ji Chan open her eyes wide in surprise: "They say girls are extroverts and like to bend their elbows outwards. I didn't believe it at first. You are teaching me a lesson."

Although she was the one who ordered Ning Qing to be Shen Cheng's personal maid, she still thought that Ning Qing would listen to her more. She didn't expect that Ning Qing now values ​​Shen Cheng more than herself.

Ning Qing's face turned slightly red and she kept silent.

If it were before, she would probably really listen to Ji Chan, but now she is Shen Cheng's person, she can't have her feet on two boats, right?
Between Shen Cheng and Ji Chan, she can only choose Shen Cheng now, unless Ji Chan asks for her back and Shen Cheng agrees.

Ji Chan was about to say something, but Shen Cheng interrupted her: "Don't change the subject, where is Du Tianming?"

Not only Jin Xing was looking for Du Tianming, Shen Cheng was also looking for him.

Now that Jin Xing's danger has been resolved and Du Tianming has not shown up yet, Shen Cheng can only come to find Ji Chan.

Ji Chan spread his hands and said, "What's the point of you coming to me? I don't know either!"

Shen Cheng stared at her innocent face, and suddenly told Ning Qing who was standing beside him, "Help me hold down her hands and feet."

"what?"

Ji Chan and Ning Qing both made sounds of surprise.

Ji Chan jumped up from the sofa: "Don't mess around, I really don't know where Du Tianming is, he always comes to me on his own initiative."

Shen Cheng sneered: "Last time you also said you didn't know, but in the end you still lied to me to go to Yongle City?"

"I really didn't know this time. I didn't lie to you."

"Do it."

Ning Qing was very conflicted, but she still gritted her teeth and said sorry to Ji Chan.

Ji Chan turned around and tried to run, but Ning Qing caught up with him and pinned him to the ground, holding his hands and feet.

"Let me go, Ning Qing, you heartless girl. I was so good to you, but you betrayed me."

"I'm sorry, but I'm the master's maid now and can only obey his orders...you took the initiative to send me out."

There was some resentment in Ning Qing's words.

Ji Chan, who had lost all his powers, could not break free from Ning Qing's control no matter how hard he struggled.

Shen Cheng walked over, grabbed one of Ji Chan's feet, and began to tickle the sole of her foot.

"Hahahaha stop it, hahaha."

One foot was not enough, Shen Cheng grabbed Ji Chan's other foot and ordered Ning Qing to help tickle Ji Chan's armpits.

Ji Chan is very ticklish. This is the information Ning Qing revealed to Shen Cheng.

At first, Ji Chan was still struggling like a fish that had just been caught ashore, but later he fell to the ground breathlessly, and even his voice of begging for mercy was faintly filled with tears.

"Stop scratching me. I really don't know where Du Tianming is. Please let me go."

Ji Chan was lying on the ground like a dead fish, her messy clothes revealing large areas of white, which were soaked with sweat and stuck to her skin.

Those who were unaware of this scene would think that she was being raped by a large man.

Since he still refused to say anything even in this situation, Shen Cheng knew that Ji Chan really didn't know where Du Tianming was.

He changed the question: "When will Du Tianming appear?"

"Do not……"

As soon as she said the word "no", Ji Chan felt Shen Cheng's fingers gently stroke the soles of her feet. Her whole body trembled and she immediately changed her words: "Du Tianming is very cunning. He must be hiding first to see what happens. He will only show up when everything is settled."

Shen Cheng nodded slowly. Du Tianming should be worried that Jin Xing would make a comeback. Even if Shen Cheng defeated Jin Xing, he would not show up easily.

It is very likely that he will show up only when he is completely sure that it is safe.

Du Tianming was so vigilant that Shen Cheng felt helpless, but there was nothing he could do.

Even Jin Xing had been looking for Du Tianming for more than ten years but couldn't find him, let alone Shen Cheng. He could only wait patiently.

……

Shen Cheng originally thought that Du Tianming would show up in a few days or even a dozen days, but who knew that he would have to wait for almost half a year.

During these six months, the capital of the Eternal Empire was finally rebuilt.

Yan Yin held a three-day grand celebration in the capital to celebrate the formal establishment of the central government and the return of the Eternal Empire to unity.

On this day, the entire capital was packed with people, especially the square in the center of the city, which was filled with crowds of people that stretched as far as the eye could see.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Fellow Citizens, I hereby declare..."

Xiao Qingque's voice spread throughout the city through the loudspeakers, and even spread to all televisions and the Internet.

As a princess, she delivered a speech on behalf of the central government and announced the official establishment of the central government.

Earth-shaking cheers erupted from the crowd and countless fireworks exploded in the sky, lighting up the dark night sky.

On a high-rise building not far from the square, Ning Qing stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with his upper body pressed against the glass and his lower body raised high backwards.

Shen Cheng hugged her from behind, and the two of them enjoyed the carnival below while doing what they loved.

During the past six months, Ning Qing has acted as a firefighter many times to put out the fire for Shen Cheng, and their relationship has become harmonious from being awkward at the beginning.

Neither of them attended today's grand celebration. Ning Qing mentioned what Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque had done secretly at the homecoming ceremony before, so Shen Cheng took her here to experience it.

Xiao Qingque's speech ended quickly, and soon, Shen Cheng and Ning Qing both heard footsteps outside.

With a bang, the tightly closed door was pushed open and Xiao Qingque, dressed in gorgeous clothes, rushed in.

Seeing Shen Cheng and Ning Qing having an in-depth conversation, she was not surprised. Instead, she chuckled and said, "I knew you were hiding here." As she spoke, she walked in and locked the door.

Ning Qing realized what was going to happen next and her body subconsciously tensed up.

She was a little resistant to the threesome, but both Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque liked it.

And every time the three of them were together, Ning Qing, with a serious face, was always the one who was bullied the most.

The grand celebration lasted for three days and three nights. Except for the time when Xiao Qingque passed by during the initial speech, he spent the remaining three days and three nights in the room with Shen Cheng and Ning Qing.

In the early morning of the second day after the celebration, the first ray of sunlight shone through the window and Shen Cheng opened his eyes.

Xiao Qingque and Ning Qing, who were lying naked on their sides, hugged Shen Cheng from both sides and were in a deep sleep.

Shen Cheng did not wake them up. For the Eternals, daytime was actually a night of rest, and they were almost exhausted after these three days.

Shen Cheng moved away the jade arms and legs that were wrapped around his body, stood up quietly, used alchemy to make himself a new set of clothes, and then disappeared into the bedroom.

After Shen Cheng left, Ning Qing also opened her eyes.

She covered her chest with one hand and tiptoed to get out of bed, but her body suddenly stiffened.

She turned around slowly and found that Xiao Qingque, who was sleeping, had indeed opened his eyes and was looking at her.

After the two looked at each other for a few seconds, Xiao Qingque grinned.

"Where to run?!"

"Don't……"

Ning Qing only had time to let out a scream before Xiao Qingque tackled her and the two of them rolled into a ball.

Shen Cheng didn't know about the erotic events that took place in the bedroom, and even if he did, he wouldn't take it to heart.

Because he had already seen that Xiao Qingque was not a lesbian and showed no signs of bisexuality. She just liked to bully Ning Qing, who had a serious face and did not dare to resist.

Perhaps it was because he was often bullied by Shen Cheng that he began to want to bully others.

After leaving the bedroom, Shen Cheng came to the square in front of the central government.

The morning sun was very warm, but few Eternals liked to come out to bask in the sun, so there was almost no one in the wide square.

Only at the edge of the fountain in the center of the square was there a person standing.

The man stood by the pool, holding a handful of bait in his hand and gently dropping it into the pool.

All the koi fish of various colors kept in the pond gathered together, scrambling for food.

Shen Cheng walked over and stood beside the man. He also used alchemy to create a handful of bait, which he slowly sprinkled into the pool.

After all the baits were fed, Shen Cheng looked at the man next to him who looked exactly like him: "I thought you would continue to hide for more than ten years before showing up."

Du Tianming pushed his glasses up with his fingers, his eyes still fixed on the fish in the pool: "Only when the central government is formally established and the Eternal Empire is unified and stable can we truly fulfill Ji Chan's requirements."

Shen Cheng looked at his profile, not knowing whether it was calm or indifferent: "Is it just because of this reason? I thought you were afraid of Jin Xing, so you kept hiding and didn't dare to come out."

"You could say that Jin Xing has been looking for me for the past six months. It was only recently that I revealed some traces in the Human Federation and successfully led him away."

Du Tianming then turned to look at Shen Cheng: "Before he comes back, this is our only chance to open the door."

Shen Cheng asked: "Have you ever thought about how to deal with Qin Hao and Bai Jun?"

Qin Hao and Bai Jun have been trapped in that special space, and they must be guarding in front of the door. If you want to open the door, you have to face them.

"Don't worry, I've already been prepared."

Du Tianming turned around and said, "Let's go. Time waits for no one."

At the end of the square, Lao Ruan, who had always been inseparable from Du Tianming, had been waiting there for a long time.

The three of them left the imperial capital and came to the Astrology Palace once again.

Ji Chan seemed to have known that they would come and had been waiting in the reception room in advance, but when she saw Shen Cheng, she subconsciously hid her snow-white feet.

Shen Cheng had pinched and scratched her before, which left her with a deep psychological trauma.

"Du Tianming, I thought you would hide for another ten years before coming out."

Ji Chan said the same thing as Shen Cheng.

Facing Ji Chan, Du Tianming had no interest in explaining, and said in a cold tone: "We have completed your request, and it is time for you to fulfill your promise."

Ji Chan looked at Shen Cheng: "He just helped me complete the request, right? What does it have to do with you?"

Shen Cheng really wanted to agree with Ji Chan's words, but in fact Du Tianming played a great role in this.

If he had not trapped Qin Hao and Bai Jun, and trapped Jin Xing in a parallel world for more than ten years, leaving the entire Eternal Empire leaderless, Shen Cheng would not have been able to start a war and end it so easily.

If Du Tianming had not left half of Jin Xing's eternal blood in Yongle City, Shen Cheng would not have been able to defeat Jin Xing.

This is also the reason why Shen Cheng did not turn against Du Tianming even though he knew that he was plotting against him, because he gained too many benefits in the process.

One should be grateful for what one has received, and Shen Cheng didn't feel comfortable going back on his word.

Du Tianming did not argue with Ji Chan about who had made the greater contribution, but only asked: "Are you going to break the agreement?"

His tone was very calm, as if as long as Ji Chan said yes, he would immediately get up and leave.

Of course Ji Chan didn't dare to say that, because the man in front of him was a ruthless man who had trapped the three blood kings.

Ji Chanzi was just teasing Du Tianming and didn't really dare to break the agreement, otherwise he might get up in the middle of the night and drown in the toilet.

"Haha, just a joke."

Ji Chan smiled, and then said, "Of course we have to abide by the agreement. I will open the door for you, but the premise is that you have to deal with Qin Hao and Bai Jun. If the two of them are guarding the door, then wouldn't I be walking into a trap if I go there?"

Du Tianming nodded, then looked at Shen Cheng: "I'll have to trouble you again next."

Shen Cheng pointed at himself and said, "Me? You are kidding. Or do you think that if I defeat Jin Xing, I can deal with the other two blood kings at the same time?"

Jin Xing lost to Shen Cheng because he lost half of his eternal blood and his strength dropped drastically.

The other two Blood Kings were intact. Not to mention fighting one against two, even if Shen Cheng faced one of them, he would have no chance of winning.

"I never joke."

Du Tianming explained to Shen Cheng in a calm tone: "You don't need to win the fight, you just need to delay a little time to give the prophet a chance to open the door, and I will prepare an insurance for you so that you can escape from the special space at the critical moment, and Qin Hao and Bai Jun will not be able to hurt you."

Du Tianming paused for a moment, then added: "I used this method to escape from their hands."
