The emperor's decree arrived suddenly, and the romantic scene unfolded within the palace.
I heard the familiar footsteps, hurried and carrying morning dew and dripping water from the eaves.
It seems I can also see the feather duster's soft, menacing presence in the breeze.
The sound grew louder as it approached, pulling me from the distant ocean of sleep back to the shore of wakefulness. I abruptly opened my eyes, struggled to mutter softly, and tried to get up.
"Xie Jinhui, wake up! Mu Zhu is coming to clean, we're going to be caught!"
"Don't wake up." Xie Jinhui was too lazy to open his eyes, remaining calm and composed, like a lazy cat with long arms, pulling his kitten into his arms and protecting it as it continued to purr contentedly.
"Xie Jinhui, you have such a thick skin, you don't even know shame."
He pulled my head, which was resting on his arm, so that our faces were pressed together.
Xie Jinhui's two butterfly eyes trembled, his delicate eyelashes fluttered, and he opened them with a smile.
"I've missed you so much overnight, Yuanhe."
As he spoke, he took the initiative and gave a preemptive kiss.
Hearing the footsteps like hailstones, and the thunderous roar that seemed about to push open the gates of the demon's lair, I had no choice but to pretend to be nonchalant about his attack. I quickly closed my eyes and hid in Xie Jinhui's arms.
"Since you won't let me get up, then you should block me. Anyway, I've already slept, so there's nothing to be ashamed of."
I have a shield, and a curtain that never falls down on the hooks.
With a slight movement of her fingers, two pieces of silk cascaded down from the top of the wisteria blossoms, shimmering with a delicate radiance that surpassed even the morning light.
Xie Jinhui blinked, his cheeks flushed, and his previously composed body suddenly bowed slightly.
“Yuan’e, we’re lying here fully clothed. What does it matter if we bump into each other? With the tent up, from the outside, our figures will be blurry. I wonder… how erotic it will be.”
Oh, right!
Only thieves feel guilty. I'm just sharing a bed with my future husband, not a thief, so why should I hide anything?
I made another hand gesture and pulled up the curtain.
Just then, the door suddenly blew open as if deflated.
I was startled, but Xie Jinhui quickly raised his hand, pulled up his wide sleeve, and covered me.
Just look at that curtain that suddenly lost its control, swaying and bobbing like waves outside the bed, performing some kind of exhilarating passion.
We, inside the curtain, were as calm as still water, unaware of what the momentarily flustered and obscured Mu Zhu saw in the curtained drama.
Before the sound of a thud had even faded, Mu Zhu seemed to have transformed back into his true form, kicking up his eight legs and making a swift escape.
Hey, you can do without the feather duster, but you can't leave the door open.
I felt the flowers outside the door, the towering green mountains, and the wind blowing through the hall all stop, fall silent, and gaze quietly at the distorted figure on the curtain inside the demon's den.
I don't know if they noticed anything amiss, but as Xie Jinhui had just whispered in my ear, it was exactly as he had predicted.
"Our innocence is gone."
I didn't care what new scenes might unfold from the two tangled curtains that were shaking wildly.
She reached out, her hand winding down to his waist, and gave him a deep kiss in a generous and open manner.
"You've already slept with them, why do you need to clear your name?"
Xie Jinhui rolled over and landed on top of me. I looked up at him and chuckled.
"What, are you going to add some excitement to my curtains?" I challenged.
Xie Jinhui leaned closer, "Yuanhe, good morning, do you want to take another nap?"
My hands slipped into his sleeves and moved upwards.
He gradually approached me, and my hand climbed up his smooth arm, up his shoulder, and around his neck.
Then she changed course and slid onto his back.
The sensation stirred my heart, and I quickly withdrew, then obediently wrapped my arms around him through our clothes, immersing myself in a long, lingering, and invigorating morning kiss.
However, there was a thud outside the door, and I suspected that someone had slipped and fallen while walking on the roof tiles.
Xie Jinhui and I fell down together, with him continuing to act as a screen by the bed, while I continued to explore the terrain on his face.
He's so handsome, I wish I could just stay in a daze forever.
The door was slammed shut, probably after being kicked several times.
At this moment, my mind and the curtains have calmed down. Nestled against the chest of longing, I whisper softly, using my fingers to shut out external disturbances.
"Thank you, Jinhui. The formation of the Purple Palace allows me to enter. Tonight, I want to explore the Hall of World Division."
Xie Jinhui tightened his embrace.
"Let me sleep a little longer and think about it."
*
I had planned to sleep from dawn till dusk, until the moon came out before getting up.
However, just past noon, a light, short knock on the door startled the curtains, which then woke us up.
I responded to the persistent raindrops outside.
The reply came from the alliance of Mu Zhu and Chen Yi, who eagerly announced that the Heavenly Emperor wanted to summon Xie Jinhui.
They were both excited and timid outside, speaking incoherently.
I simply sat up, my bare legs dangling over the edge of the bed, and used a curtain to separate Xie Jinhui, who was determined to stay in bed and ponder.
Only then did they open the door and let them in to talk.
Chen Yi, being simple-minded, strode in. Mu Zhu glanced around at me before sheepishly following Chen Yi, coughing as he entered.
Upon entering the room, seeing my ethereal beauty, my perfectly styled hair, and my neatly dressed, their previous wicked thoughts, stemming from the doorway, vanished, and they were able to speak plainly.
However, if we're talking about being straightforward, then Chen Yi is the one who speaks concisely and succinctly.
She has many eyes, many minds, and many feet.
She, with her many talents, may have another eye hidden beneath her eyelids.
She lowered her eyes and glanced furtively into the tent, as if she was afraid I would exhaust Xie Jinhui to death.
Her replies became gentler.
"Reporting to Goddess Yuan'e, when I went out on my errands just now, I heard that many envoys from the Purple Extreme Palace were searching for Lord Xie's whereabouts."
"This morning, I happened to bump into..." Mu Zhu paused, then realized it was better to omit some details and continued, "I informed the celestial messenger that Lord Xie is in the Qunshan Garden, but fearing he was too tired yesterday and this morning, he hasn't yet rested."
Xie Jinhui, who was behind the curtain, was probably about to get up. He took a deep breath.
I also think his pretense of being asleep has come to an end, otherwise the hospital will have to prescribe more medication for him again.
I heard that the envoys have been waiting outside the mountain garden for two hours.
Mu Zhu wasn't thinking clearly and was only focused on gossip. Only at the end did he realize why the Heavenly Emperor was in such a hurry to find Xie Jinhui.
“Reporting to Goddess Yuan’e,” Mu Zhu said, “Emperor Shengsheng has decided that in ten days, Lord Xie and the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone will complete their binding.”
Suddenly, the green mountains outside the door were swallowed up by clouds.
Xie Jinhui sat up abruptly, lifted the curtain with one hand, and put his arm around my shoulder with the other, looking completely blinded by lust.
“Tell Uncle Heavenly Emperor that I know, but…” Xie Jinhui pretended to be a playboy and acted very seriously. He lifted my chin, and I took the opportunity to lean into his arms.
"I am busy today."
Mu Zhu and Chen Yi were dumbfounded. Xie Jinhui stopped trying to hide it and bit my ear.
"Something is amiss; there are many eyes watching."
He brushed past me, leaving me with a reminder hidden in our intimacy.
I also noticed that last night I went to investigate the fake Heavenly Emperor, and today I received this Heavenly Emperor's summons that made Xie Jinhui bind the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone ahead of time.
Furthermore, the entire mountain garden is now under the watchful eyes of everyone. Although on the surface they are all celestial messengers waiting for Xie Jinhui, it is hard to guarantee that there are no trusted confidants sent by the fake Heavenly Emperor to monitor them.
He was also thinking of exploring the Heavenly Division Palace tonight, hoping to find more locations of the fake Heavenly Emperor's spiritual objects and further restrain him.
At this moment, the fake Heavenly Emperor has taken a risky step that we must think twice before accepting.
Right now, Xie Jinhui and I need more information about the location of the World Division Palace.
As for the process of binding the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone...
Xie Jinhui might be able to sense more traces of the binding time of the Holy Emperor through the divine stone and deduce some locations!
But this is dangerous. It's unclear whether the fake Heavenly Emperor is genuinely fulfilling his duties after stepping down, or if he has other schemes against Xie Jinhui.
What can I do now? I have to buy him some time to maneuver, at least enough so that he can return to Moxu Chenyuan to see his father before facing the Heavenly Emperor directly.
Father!
Yes, today, I will not let him go; I will indulge in debauchery with him.
I was in his arms, soft as butter, and I sat on his lap, wrapping myself around him again and again.
"Esteemed celestial messengers, please come in and listen carefully to what my husband has to say."
With my domineering immortal power, I swept all the immortal envoys outside into the room.
The room is not large, but with a little magic, it can contain the void.
I looked up at the hundreds of celestial messengers staring at me and Xie Jinhui in disbelief, on the sky, on the table, by the door frame, and on the roof beam.
Seeing my unusual behavior, Mu Zhu and Chen Yi seemed to be on guard, and they nodded at me with serious expressions.
I can't guess what they're thinking. What I can think of is that Xie Jinhui is the only son of the Heavenly Emperor, while the Holy Emperor, who is not the chosen one, has always been in a delicate situation that makes the immortals suspicious.
Right now, I've actually heard some rumors about the succession of the old and new Heavenly Emperors.
One of them is that the Holy Emperor may not truly be willing to relinquish the throne to Xie Jinhui, and there may be a power struggle in the Immortal Realm regarding the throne.
I think Mu Zhu and Chen Yi were thinking about these rumors, so they resolutely took sides and were sharpening their swords at the last minute.
Alas! If the true Holy Emperor were still alive, your suspicion of him would truly be against your conscience.
But now, this is precisely where Xie Jinhui and I stand.
A game of strategy? Then let's play it out in this way.
Xie Jinhui's mind is always better than mine. I can figure out the pros and cons through Mu Zhuchenyi's changes, and he can also sense them through my eyes and my consciousness.
He suddenly waved his hand and dragged me back behind the curtain.
Then stretch your waist and hips.
"I have important business to attend to today. My back doesn't hurt yet, so don't stand here and spoil my mood."
Since it's ten days from now, tell your uncle I'll visit him again tomorrow.
Emperor Shengsheng has always doted on Xie Jinhui. Regardless of whether it's true or not, Xie Jinhui's words, coupled with my energetic gesture, led me to place my bare feet on his shoulders.
Suddenly, the sounds of people rubbing against each other inside the room rose loudly, then fell silent.
Xie Jinhui grabbed my foot, causing the curtains to shake.
He entered my sea of consciousness, while I retreated back into the Butterfly Dream Bell.
The scenery inside the bedchamber of that demonic cave, with its fragrant curtains, is enchanting and beautiful, but it is all an illusion.
"Xie Jinhui, go back to Moxu Chenyuan and discuss this with the Ancestor."
besides……"
Inside the Butterfly Dream Bell Corridor, Xie Jinhui hugged me.
“I want to bind with Yuanhe so I can get more dirt on the monsters,” he said.
“I know, but… you have to win. You can’t let this binding become a double-edged sword that hurts you, and it would be best if you could expose that fake Heavenly Emperor.”
Instead of…” I paused, looking at him with concern.
"Xie Jinhui, you absolutely cannot let him harm you too..."
I want to strangle him. I'm afraid my Heavenly Emperor uncle will be gone, and even Xie Jinhui will be swallowed up.
If anyone were to destroy my Xie Jinhui, I think my Soul Lock would no longer protect the world, but would instead crush it and turn it all into dust.
Xie Jinhui wiped away the tears that had welled up in my eyes and said with a smile, "Yuanhe, be good and wait for me these next few days. I will go back to Moxu Chenyuan and train my body to be as strong as steel. No one can crush me then."
I quickly shoved him and threatened him.
"Go back quickly, for only with you can the world exist."
As Xie Jinhui's immortal form drifted away, he turned back to look at me, saying with concern, "Yuan'e, be careful."
I gave him a big, carefree smile.
"I will definitely marry you."
*
During his stay, Xie Jinhui only visited the Purple Extreme Palace once; otherwise, he remained in the Moxu Dust Abyss.
The fact that he's so busy means the road ahead won't be easy.
Instead of being worried, I diligently practiced the original immortal techniques.
He had only one belief in his heart: no one could take him away.
As fate would have it, one morning, Mu Zhu barged into my room again.
She was panting heavily, terrified, clearly having overthought things.
"Yuanhe!" she exclaimed in surprise, "Emperor Shengsheng is waiting for you outside Qingning Pavilion."
"ah?"
I felt a chill run down my spine.
