After they had eaten their fill, Li Ming placed a pearl on the table and pulled Wu Xiao away from the noodle shop.

The two continued to travel around.

Like a couple deeply in love, they held hands and ran around everywhere.

Enjoy the scenery along the way, buy small jewelry, or have a bite to eat.

As I played, the number on the dragon-patterned wooden sign showed "1". Night gradually fell, and the street became more lively. There were acrobatic performances, and people were busy coming and going, making it very noisy.

"I know a quiet place; I'll take you there." Wu Xiao knew of a quiet restaurant, owned by the royal family of Yunmeng Kingdom. It was relatively peaceful and offered a panoramic view of many of Yunmeng Kingdom's bustling towns.

He then led Li Ming to the tallest restaurant in Yunmeng Kingdom, named Star Pavilion.

It means that one can pluck the sun, moon, and stars.

It has 36 floors.

Because of Wu Xiao's identity, he had free passage all the way to the top floor.

It must be said that this restaurant is very luxurious, especially the top floor, which is decorated with flowers, trees, luxurious pavilions, hot springs, and flowing water.

It was shrouded in a light mist, like a small cave.

There is a small pavilion extending two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) outward from the top floor.

Wu Xiao led Li Ming to the small pavilion and said, "The Left Prime Minister brought me here once before. Li Ming, don't you think the night view here is beautiful?"

She pointed everywhere, saying that from here you could see many of the bustling towns in Yunmeng Kingdom, and the night view was truly spectacular.

A bright moon hung high in the sky not far away, surrounded by twinkling stars.

“It’s beautiful.” Li Ming walked behind Wu Xiao, his hands fidgeting.

At that moment, I wanted to hug her, but I was a little timid. In the end, I mustered up my courage and suddenly reached out and wrapped my arms around her waist.

Wu Xiao was a little resistant; it was the first time she had been hugged from behind.

"Don't move."

Li Ming spoke softly, resting his chin on her head.

Both of her hands were tightly wrapped around Wu Xiao's waist. Her waist was particularly soft and comfortable to hold. She couldn't help but ask Li Ming to hold her tighter so that she could fully enjoy the feeling.

"Thump thump thump." Wu Xiao's heart was pounding very fast. She could feel the intense heat emanating from Li Ming, which traveled down her back and made her face and ears burn.

Li Ming bent down and rubbed his cheek against hers. Her face was so hot, hot enough to boil an egg.

He looked down, glancing at it unintentionally.

Wu Xiao's chest heaved, constantly pushing up her white clothes.

Suddenly, a phrase came to mind: "Looking down, you can't see her toes; she is already a peerless beauty." This phrase perfectly describes her features: peaks like a gathering of mountains, waves like a raging torrent.

"Where are you looking?" Wu Xiao reached out and flicked Li Ming's forehead.

"I didn't see anything." Li Ming pressed his face against hers, feeling her warmth, and mumbled, "Look at the moon in the sky, it's so big, white, and round."

"The moon is yellow."

"I'm colorblind." Li Ming hugged Wu Xiao's slender waist, his face beaming, and kept rubbing his cheek against hers.

"Nobody would believe that." Wu Xiao flicked Li Ming's forehead, pulling his hand away. She gazed at him tenderly, then pointed to the swing and said, "Shall we go sit over there?"

"Let's do it!"

Li Ming gasped. Wu Xiao was being too blunt. Couldn't she have been a little more tactful?

He wanted to have some fun on the swing. Speaking of autumn, it reminded him of a movie called "The Flesh and Blood Group," which seemed to have a similar plot. Tsk tsk tsk.

He immediately became excited.

However, he was overthinking it. Wu Xiao meant to sit down and watch the bright moon and twinkling stars.

Li Ming put his arm around her shoulder, and the two sat quietly, enjoying the peaceful night.

Soon, they changed positions and moved from the swing to the grass.

The two looked at each other.

The moonlight shone on the two of them, creating a beautiful scene. In this atmosphere, both of them were somewhat distracted. Li Ming reached out his hand, and Wu Xiao snuggled into Li Ming's arms.

Li Ming put his arm around her, and she snuggled close to him, asking, "Around when will you be coming out?"

"I don't know. I'll come out after my breakthrough. I estimate it will be a few hundred years at most. What, you're already thinking about me before I've even left?"

“No.” Wu Xiao said, taking out a dragon scale dagger, pursing his lips and looking into Li Ming’s eyes.

The look in someone's eyes when they want to kill them is impossible to hide. Li Ming panicked a little and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Wu Xiao said, "Guess?"

Li Ming was a little scared: "Last time you fell into the Yunmeng Sect, you were climbing through my window with a dagger in the middle of the night. I felt like you wanted to kill me. After I found out, you changed your story and said you wanted to steal my little yellow book. Now I can confirm that you really wanted to kill me."

"Now that you've found out, don't move. Let me stab you."

"Are you crazy?" Li Ming pinched her little mouth, shaping it into various forms, laughing from ear to ear. Although it was a bit inexplicable, pinching her mouth was still quite cute.

"Lift up your clothes, and I'll poke you."

"I won't flirt."

"Then I'll do it myself." She leaned over Li Ming and ripped off his belt in one go. Li Ming stood up and ran away, with Wu Xiao chasing after him with a dagger in hand, saying, "You can't escape."

"You can't catch me." Li Ming ran around a big tree.

Wu Xiao gripped the dagger and chased after the large tree.

At this moment, Shao Siming went to the top floor. Because she had something urgent to report to her sister, the Empress, she forgot to knock on the door and saw a scene that left her speechless.

Li Ming's belt was ripped open, his clothes were disheveled and open, and his upper body skin could be vaguely seen.

And what about Wu Xiao?

Holding a dagger, he chased after Li Ming.

"Sorry to bother you."

Her face turned bright red, and she quickly locked the door.
