Baili Hongzhuang looked startled. "I'm going there to cultivate. How can I focus on cultivation if you accompany me?"
"Rest assured, as long as you're not in mortal danger, I won't intervene," Emperor Bei Chen smiled. "You are my precious wife. What would I do if something happened to you?"
Baili Hongzhuang rolled her eyes. "What does that have to do with me?"
"Wherever my wife is, I'll be there," Emperor Bei Chen said.
Before Baili Hongzhuang could reply, Emperor Bei Chen continued, "I will arrange for someone to prepare and spread the news that we are going on a trip together. It will also let others know how good our relationship as a married couple is."
"Emperor Bei Chen!"
Baili Hongzhuang's mouth twitched, but Emperor Bei Chen seemed to have ignored her response and left.
"Master, I believe Emperor Bei Chen is just worried about you. Let him go with you!" Xiao Bai spoke slowly.
Baili Hongzhuang was currently at the late stage of the Profound Earth Realm, which was considered good among the younger generation.
However, in the Sacred Profound Continent, where demonic beasts roamed, it would be dangerous for Baili Hongzhuang if she encountered powerful demonic beasts.
Xiao Hei nodded in agreement. "Emperor Bei Chen is just reluctant to part with you. It's not a bad idea for him to accompany you."
Baili Hongzhuang looked helpless. But as Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai had mentioned, Emperor Bei Chen's presence wouldn't be detrimental to her.
Apart from humans, the Sacred Profound Continent also had a species known as demonic beasts, which could cultivate just like human cultivators.
The higher the level of a demonic beast, the stronger it would be. Unlike the frail human bodies, demonic beasts had robust physical bodies.
As a result, human cultivators often found themselves at a disadvantage when facing demonic beasts.
Furthermore, demonic beasts had a faster reproductive rate than humans, but their overall intelligence was generally lower.
Humans could invent various techniques and martial skills to enhance their combat power, while demonic beasts relied solely on their own strength. This was why humans could compete with demonic beasts.
The fur of demonic beasts could be made into leather armor, and their blood, eyes, and other parts could be used as medicinal materials.
Demonic beasts were considered treasures to humans.
Hence, there were many cultivators in the Sacred Profound Continent who relied on hunting demonic beasts to sustain their livelihood. By killing demonic beasts, they could sell the materials for a substantial amount of wealth.
Emperor Bei Chen quickly took action. Knowing that Baili Hongzhuang needed to cultivate as soon as possible, he gave some instructions and then left the imperial city with Baili Hongzhuang in a carriage.
The news of the Prince and Princess Consort going on a trip together spread from the Prince's Mansion.
The common people were envious of the deep affection between the Prince and his Consort. Coupled with Emperor Bei Chen's act of protecting his wife, they admired Baili Hongzhuang even more.
Although the Prince had a physical disability, he doted on her greatly. Adding to that his handsome appearance, these matters could be overlooked.
After learning about this news, Baili Yuyan almost gritted her teeth in anger!
As she had suspected, Emperor Bei Chen cherished Baili Hongzhuang deeply.
She couldn't understand why Emperor Bei Chen would treasure someone like Baili Hongzhuang, a waste and a divorced woman. What was there about her that made Emperor Bei Chen treat her like a precious gem?
However, as Emperor Bei Chen and Baili Hongzhuang left the imperial city, a earth-shattering scream echoed from the Prime Minister's residence.
The people in the Prime Minister's residence were all attracted by the piercing scream. Prime Minister Li Chengqian and his wife, Zhao Wenqiang, immediately recognized the source of the scream as their beloved daughter, Li Yuyue, and hurried towards her location.
