Xuanfeng smiled and brushed away Mu Fuqu's outstretched hand. "Sister-in-law, if you were a man, you'd probably be in jail before you even came of age. Look at your hand, where are you going to pinch me?"
"What? Is your sister-in-law less intimate than your husband? If he can touch her, why can't I?"
Mu Fuqu awkwardly withdrew her hand, and with nothing else to do, she scooped up a large spoonful of honey and put it in her mouth. "Want a couple of bites? It's effective both externally and internally."
"Is it edible?"
"Yes! It melts in your mouth and leaves a lingering fragrance. Applying it evenly to your lips can also plump them up."
"Then... let's give it a try!"
Xuan Fengqian felt his mouth water after being encouraged by Mu Fuqu.
Without any regard for etiquette, they also started sucking on their nectar-covered fingers.
Leng Ye originally planned to wait until Xuan Fengqian calmed down before visiting her, lest her delicate parts be shaved into embroidery needles.
By sheer coincidence, they caught a whiff of a rich fragrance emanating from Qingfeng Palace.
Out of curiosity, he inexplicably stepped into Qingfeng Palace and gazed intently towards Xuanfeng Qian's boudoir.
"Qingwu greets the Demon Lord."
Qingwu, who had been refused entry to Xuanfeng Qian's boudoir, saw Leng Ye come by on his own. She glanced at him sideways and blushed silently.
She approached with small, delicate steps, her fawning expression a stark contrast to her earlier gloomy demeanor.
Leng Ye glanced at her face with his narrow eyes, and for some reason, he felt that the beautiful Qing Wu looked somewhat similar to Lei Gong, who had a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks.
Especially that slightly mean little beak, which at first glance is actually quite decent.
Looking closer, its pointed beak resembles the beaks of birds chirping for food in a tree nest.
"Ai..."
Just as Qingwu was about to curtsy to Leng Ye, she twisted her ankle and fell straight into his arms.
Leng Ye raised an eyebrow, his cold, blade-like gaze falling on Qing Wu's slender hand that was about to press against his chest. "Dare to tarnish my purity? Kill without mercy."
"ah?"
Qingwu's heart skipped a beat, and she leaned back abruptly, falling to the ground with a thud.
Seeing this, Leng Ye walked past her without looking to the side and stood at the door of Xuan Fengqian's boudoir, looking inside through the thin lattice paper.
He only glanced at it briefly, but he felt his blood rush to his head and his body become extremely agitated.
Wuya, who had been blasted out by Mu Fuqu along with Qingwu, saw Leng Ye's appearance and curiously approached, directly piercing the lattice paper on the door with his sharp beak.
"What are you looking at so intently, Your Majesty?"
"Could it be that Qianqian is secretly having an affair behind our backs?"
Leng Ye, who was in the middle of an exciting moment, was disturbed by Wuya's rough voice. His throat bobbed, and he covered Wuya's eyes with his large, thick hand, then casually tossed it behind him. "This is my treasure. I can see it, but you can't."
"Huh? Isn't Your Majesty's treasure me?"
Wuya plunged headfirst into the water vat in front of the courtyard, and after being washed, he became dizzy and disoriented once again.
At this moment, Leng Ye burst into the house like a whirlwind.
He casually picked up Xuan Fengqian's scattered clothes and put them on her as if no one else was there, saying, "Don't catch a cold."
Seeing this, Mu Fuqu and the others tactfully withdrew from the room.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to give Xuan Fengqian a teasing, encouraging gesture.
"You...how did you get here?"
Xuan Feng shrank back, his body sticky and uncomfortable, and looked at Leng Ye with an embarrassed expression.
"It smells quite nice."
Leng Ye lifted her chin, suddenly leaned forward, and deeply inhaled her sweet fragrance.
He has always disliked the smell of cosmetics.
It always felt pungent and vulgar.
However, he found the nectar smeared on her body to smell very nice.
"It's all over your body?"
Leng Ye gently placed his hand on her waist. Even through the thin fabric, he could still feel the stickiness on his fingertips, and he couldn't help but chuckle.
Xuan Fengqian looked even more embarrassed, shrinking his head like a quail, and muttered, "Get out of here, you're so embarrassing."
"Let me see where it's been applied?"
Leng Ye's eyes burned with intense lust. He had never known that Xuan Fengqian, who seemed as cold as ice, would do such things in private.
Although it's a bit silly, it's adorable.
Stop looking!
Xuan Fengqian was extremely embarrassed. Seeing that Leng Ye's eyes seemed to be rooted to her, she could only cover his eyes tightly. "Are you doing this on purpose? You know I'm shy."
"Why did those three women treat you like that? Did you do it willingly?"
Leng Ye grabbed her wrist with his other hand, and his thin lips pressed against her collarbone, which was glistening with nectar.
"You don't even know what the effects of this nectar are, yet you dare to take a bite?" Xuan Fengqian's thin, angular lips, made too plump by the nectar, were now exposed to the cold night. She pretended to avoid his increasingly hot lips.
"What is its effect?"
"It can plump up and whiten the skin, increase elasticity, and perhaps even make the lips more rosy."
"..."
After hearing what Xuan Fengqian said, Leng Ye suddenly had second thoughts.
He couldn't accept the mere fact that the lips were moisturized.
But the thought that Mu Fuqu's hands had once roamed over his precious body made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Don't put any of this stuff on your body anymore, you don't need it."
"Um."
Xuan Fengqian sensed the reproach in his words, and her mood became even more depressed.
She had a feeling that Leng Ye wouldn't like these fancy things.
To be fair, she didn't like putting the nectar on her body either.
But Leng Ye's attitude was too cold, and his expression was too serious.
She hadn't done anything excessive, so why was he acting so fierce and menacing towards her?
Xuan Fengqian was clearly unhappy. She pulled her robes tighter against her skin because of the nectar. "Is there anything else? If not, I'm going to take a bath."
"Don't go."
Leng Ye gently tugged at her robe, his tone laced with obvious bitterness, "To be honest, if it weren't for your sake, I would have chopped off those three's hands. Why did you let them touch them? Why did you let them see them?"
"You still care about these things?"
"How could I not care? You are my precious treasure, whom I wouldn't even dare to use force on in bed. How could I so easily let others glimpse your dazzling radiance?"
As Leng Ye spoke, he realized there was something wrong with his wording, so he added, "It's not that I'm thinking of accusing anyone. It's just that I feel really suffocated, probably because of my inherent flaws."
"Since you're not here to interrogate me, why are you keeping such a long face? Leng Ye, I don't expect you to lower your perpetually superior attitude for me, but I still hope you can be a little more amiable towards me. Can't you see I'm also feeling awkward and embarrassed right now?" Xuan Fengqian said in a muffled voice, his cheeks puffed out.
Upon hearing this, Leng Ye subconsciously relaxed his overly tense facial expression.
He thought his restraint would lessen her pain, but he overlooked the fact that his overly indifferent attitude could also hurt her.
"I do deserve to be punished. I've been studying for so long and I still can't learn to be gentle. I always make you angry and I don't even know what's good for me."
"Isn't that right?"
Xuan Fengqian was soft-hearted, and after hearing what he said, her anger subsided in an instant.
Leng Ye lightly tugged at her robes, no longer considering whether she would regret it after regaining her memories. "Then... how about I be punished by having to endure being ridiculed by thousands while sporting fiery red lips?"
He slowly leaned down, his hot breath tickling her neck.
"No... I imagine it would look really out of place if those bright red lips were on your face."
"I am pleased."
"Can..."
Before Xuanfeng could finish speaking, he frowned as a sudden pain shot through his body.
She gently placed her hands on Leng Ye's strong arms, her fingertips trembling involuntarily. Before she could even come to her senses, she fainted.
When she woke up, it was already evening.
"A-Qian, you're finally awake."
Am I dead?
Xuan Fengqian subconsciously pinched Leng Ye and asked softly.
Leng Ye shook his head, then chuckled, "Does it still hurt?"
Xuan Fengqian was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face. Afraid of frightening him, she said softly, "Next time, I should be able to hold on longer."
"I apologize, I was in too much of a hurry."
I felt incredibly guilty on that cold night.
Just now, he was simply too excited and completely ignored her feelings.
Of course, he would never say such a shameful thing out loud.
I could never say it out loud in this lifetime.
Knock knock knock—
Just then, Yu Chen's clear and deep voice came from outside, "Has the Princess woken up?"
Leng Ye casually drew the curtains in front of the bed before slowly opening the door for Yu Chen. "What is it?"
Yu Chen glanced at Leng Ye, whose expression remained unchanged, and a sudden feeling of pity arose in his heart.
In fact, he had already arrived long before Xuan Fengqian fell into a coma.
He originally thought that someone with Leng Ye's strong physique would need at least a day and a night to work out.
Just as he was wondering how to interrupt them, Leng Ye finished in the blink of an eye.
This shows that Leng Ye is really not very good in that area.
The chickens raised for such a short time are just like the free-range chickens raised by ordinary farmers.
Leng Ye always felt that Yu Chen's gaze was a bit strange, as if it carried an indescribable sympathy.
He truly couldn't understand what he had done that deserved Yu Chen's sympathy.
What puzzled him even more was that Jingzhe and Jingque, who followed Yu Chen into the house, also seemed very strange.
On the day of Jingzhe (Awakening of Insects), my eyes are filled with worry; at Jingque (the Palace
He acted as if he had an incurable disease and was about to die.
After a long while, Leng Ye finally lost his patience and impatiently asked Yu Chen, "What is it? Just say it."
"Brother, I understand your pain."
Yu Chen thought to himself that Leng Ye's irritability was most likely due to a physical defect.
As soon as he finished speaking, he gave Leng Ye a big hug.
Leng Ye stared incredulously at Yu Chen, who was hugging and embracing him. His aura suddenly turned cold, and he said with particular resistance, "My precious one is a germaphobe. Don't even think about defiling me."
"puff--"
Xuan Fengqian almost burst out laughing when he saw Leng Ye's serious rejection of Yu Chen.
She casually lifted the curtain, looking at the energetic Yu Chen with a bright smile, "Could it be that you and Xiao Yan are getting closer to marriage? I heard from Qi Yuan that you and Xiao Yan hit it off, is that true?"
Yu Chen said with a beaming smile, "It's absolutely true. I will be getting married in three days. I hope you will be there."
"It is a great blessing in life for lovers to finally be united in marriage."
Xuan Fengqian accepted the gold-embossed invitation and, glancing at the four characters "Leng Xuan Couple" written on it in a flamboyant style, the corners of his lips unconsciously turned up.
At first, Yu Chen felt guilty because Xuan Fengqian was affected by the lightning tribulation.
Seeing that Xuan Fengqian, who had lost her memory, had finally realized her own feelings, she felt a little more at ease.
"Your Highness, please keep this Soul-Stabilizing Pearl as a token of our gratitude." Yu Chen took the golden nanmu box from his attendant and handed it to Xuan Fengqian.
"How can I possibly accept such a precious Soul-Stabilizing Pearl?"
Xuan Fengqian shook his head, showing no intention of accepting this unparalleled treasure.
As is widely known, the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl is a treasure of the Western Sea.
Since it is a treasure that someone else used to suppress the sea, how could she take it away from them with a clear conscience?
Yu Chen said firmly, "If it weren't for the Princess's strong support, how could I have so easily won Xiao Yan's heart? If the Princess doesn't accept this Soul-Stabilizing Pearl, Xiao Yan and I will feel uneasy."
"No, that won't work."
Xuan Fengqian spoke with certainty, and was about to return the golden nanmu box to Yu Chen when, unexpectedly, he disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Leng Ye thought to himself that Xuan Fengqian was about to undergo her divine tribulation and was pregnant. If she had the protection of the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl, she would be safer.
With that thought, he slightly parted his thin lips and said in a deep voice, "Keep it for now. You can return it to him after you give birth to Chunmei."
"Pure beauty?"
“My precious daughter is sure to be as beautiful as you, and absolutely worthy of this name,” Leng Ye said confidently.
"Whether it's beautiful or not is hard to say. I'm just afraid that the baby in my belly will be as cold as you."
Xuan Fengqian hoped that the little baby in her belly would completely replicate Leng Ye's handsome appearance.
Although her face has a cold look, she is still very beautiful.
Leng Ye mistakenly thought that Xuan Fengqian was blaming him for not being gentle enough, so he gently curled the corners of his lips and gave her a sweet smile, "I'm not quite used to smiling more naturally yet, but I'm willing to learn."
Jingzhe and Jingque, who were behind him, found Leng Ye's unrestrained attempts to be cute and seek affection inexplicably ridiculous.
That makes sense.
Who would have thought that the mighty Nine Nether Demon Lord would be such a silly and simple-minded person in private?
Xuanfeng tilted her head back and gazed deeply at his slightly unnatural smile, feeling deeply moved.
"Night, you look so beautiful when you smile."
"shallow..."
Their eyes met, and the atmosphere instantly became very ambiguous.
Leng Ye's ears turned red, and her slightly tipsy face showed a completely different look from usual.
Xuan Fengqian's eyes were filled with him; his pure and beautiful appearance was exactly the same as when they first met at the Soul Ferry...
When Jing Que saw Leng Ye become so gentle, he suddenly got goosebumps all over his body.
He nudged Jingzhe's elbow and whispered, "Could it be that the Demon Lord is acting so abnormally because of a physical disorder?"
"Blockhead! The Demon Lord has only just become enlightened, which is why he has shed his previous ferocity."
A sparkling light appeared in Jingzhe's eyes, a mixture of joy for Lengye and sorrow for her own ill-fated love affair from ten thousand years ago.
