"It's all my fault, I'm late."
Leng Ye suddenly pulled Xuan Fengqian into his arms, as if using all his strength, before placing a light kiss on her forehead.
On the way here, he had already heard Jingzhe talk about what had happened in Qingfeng Palace that night.
He had originally thought that with the Chaos Bell guarding it, even if Fu Chen was exceptionally capable, he wouldn't be able to stir up any more trouble. Unexpectedly, he had ultimately underestimated Fu Chen's abilities.
The thought that he had almost lost Xuan Fengqian forever sent chills down Leng Ye's spine, filling him with lingering fear.
"It's not too late. At least, I haven't run away yet."
Xuanfeng smiled slightly, not satisfied with Leng Ye's light, fleeting kiss, and suddenly pressed him down on the desk, as if savoring a delicious meal, lightly pecking at his thin lips.
In an instant, Leng Ye's mind went blank, and two blushes appeared on her fair and jade-like cheeks without her realizing it.
Before this, he had never imagined that he would be pinned down on the table and kissed by a woman!
This... isn't this just too blissful?
Leng Ye stared blankly at Xuan Fengqian, whose delicate features and captivating charm were evident in her every glance, and his heart suddenly raced.
He was so nervous he didn't know what to do with his hands, feeling like a virtuous woman being harassed by a bully, utterly helpless...
But then again, it does feel quite comfortable.
Her lips were soft and fluffy, like clouds bathed in moonlight, slightly damp, and carrying a refreshing fragrance that, once you were touched, you could never give up.
"Ah Qian, if this continues, I really won't be able to hold back anymore."
Leng Ye's breathing became unusually heavy. He gently embraced her slender waist, trying his best to suppress the surging desire within him.
"Who asked you to put up with it?"
Xuanfeng Qianyu was extremely upset, and her words were full of dissatisfaction, "When exactly are you going to make it a fait accompli?"
Leng Ye chuckled softly, then said slowly, "Aren't we already ripe? Have you forgotten that you're carrying my child?"
"It's precisely because I've forgotten how I got pregnant that I'm so anxious and insecure. Shouldn't you make it up to me once?"
"Yes, I should! I should make it up to you a thousand times over. However, let's discuss this after our marriage, shall we?"
Leng Ye was absolutely smitten with Xuan Fengqian's captivating beauty at that moment, but he no longer wanted to do anything that might hurt her.
"So when do you plan to marry me?"
"Ten days from now will be an auspicious day. The reason I was away for several hours was mainly to prepare for your wedding. The evil energy in the Nine Netherworlds is heavy and may very well damage your immortal body. I have ordered people to renovate the Purple Nether Palace according to the layout of the Qingfeng Palace. I think it will be completed in a few more days."
"Then... I'll wait a few more days."
The thought of marrying him soon filled Xuan Fengqian with joy.
She gently cupped Leng Ye's cheeks and said with utmost seriousness, "Leng Ye, from now on, don't shoulder everything alone. I will always cherish and protect you."
Leng Ye's expression faltered slightly, and his narrow eyes, besides revealing deep affection, also held a hint of emotion that was hard to detect.
Over the years, she has been the only person besides Wuya who has been willing to cherish and protect him.
Although he was already powerful enough that he didn't need anyone's protection, he was still secretly happy for a whole day after hearing Xuan Fengqian say this.
Unintentionally, Xuan Fengqian noticed that Leng Ye's body was reacting again. To prevent him from getting sick from holding it in, she had no choice but to reluctantly let go of him.
She slowly rose, looking down at Leng Ye lying sprawled on the desk, and smiled gently, "You look just like a young, unmarried woman right now, so adorable."
Leng Ye was speechless, and said in a muffled voice, "If you dare to use the word 'cute' to describe me again, I'll show you how powerful I am."
"Then, shall we see it?"
"..."
Leng Ye then realized that Xuan Fengqian was not afraid of him at all now.
Left with no other choice, he had to plead with her gently, "Sweetie, don't make a fuss. I really can't bear it anymore, it hurts."
"Does it hurt? Do you need me to rub it for you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xuan Fengqian realized that she had accidentally spoken her true feelings, and her face turned bright red.
To ease the awkwardness, she quickly changed the subject, "How is Zhimo? Is her injury serious?"
"She's alright now."
Leng Ye answered in a deep voice, his sharp eyes once again settling on her slender hands, "Rub them?"
"No, that won't work."
Xuan Feng shook his head slightly, then resolutely hid his hands behind his back.
"Really not?"
"No, that won't work."
"Who just said that I should be held in the palm of their hand and protected?"
"You're such a nagging little devil!" Xuan Fengqian finally gave in to Leng Ye's persistent pleading and reluctantly agreed, "Just this once, and don't do it again."
...
As dawn broke, Leng Ye walked out of Qingfeng Palace with a satisfied expression, while Xuan Fengqian, dejected, clutched his nearly broken hand and lay motionless on the couch.
Although, she was the one who seduced him last night.
But after a night of turmoil, she really had some doubts about whether interspecies bonding was reliable.
Is it really possible that no one will die?
But every time she saw his posture, she felt a little scared.
"Fine. I shouldn't complain about the husband I chose." Xuan Fengqian turned over and muttered softly, "Tomorrow, I'll just whittle him down into a needle."
When Wuyai, who was hiding under the bed, heard Xuanfeng Qian say this, he suddenly shivered and tightly covered his private parts with his shiny black wings.
After a while, taking advantage of Xuanfeng's drowsy sleep, it rushed out in a hurry, eager to inform Lengye.
For several days afterward, Leng Ye, after hearing what Wuya said, dared not step into Qingfeng Palace in order to "save his life."
Xuan Fengqian was also worried that Leng Ye would lose his beastly nature and start tormenting her hands again, so she didn't dare to pester him as often as before, and instead buried herself in making his wedding clothes.
To her dismay, despite working diligently for several days, her embroidery skills showed no improvement whatsoever.
"It's infuriating! It's just a tiny embroidery needle, how can it be so difficult to handle?"
Xuanfeng frowned slightly and shattered the embroidery needle into dust in the blink of an eye.
"Your Highness, I can do this kind of rough work." Qingwu walked over with a smile and said softly, "If Your Highness trusts me, why don't you let me give it a try?"
"How can one's own husband's wedding attire be made by someone else?"
Xuan Fengqian slowly raised his eyes and glanced at Qingwu, who was being extremely obsequious, and said indifferently.
Upon hearing her words, Qingwu's face suddenly showed a hint of displeasure.
However, in the blink of an eye, she put on a fearful and timid expression and said, "It is my fault for not thinking things through. What the princess says is absolutely right."
"It's not your fault. I was just doing it for fun when I had nothing else to do."
Xuanfeng glanced at the timid and weak Qingwu. Although he didn't like to get close to her, he didn't make his expression too stiff.
However, to Xuan Fengqian's surprise, as soon as she finished speaking, Qingwu knelt down in front of her without warning.
"What are you doing? Get up."
Xuan Fengqian put down the red silk in her hand and looked at Qingwu, who was weeping uncontrollably, with a puzzled expression.
"Princess, could you please accept me as your disciple?"
Qingwu did not get up, but instead respectfully kowtowed several times to Xuanfeng Qian.
Why is that?
"Your Highness, you may not know this, but recently, the Princess and His Highness have had several major arguments because of me. His Highness has been incredibly kind to me, and I cannot afford to cause him any more trouble. Therefore, I have no choice but to shamelessly beg Your Highness to take me in. If Your Highness is willing to accept me, the misunderstanding between the Princess and His Highness can be resolved." Qingwu straightened her back, knelt properly before Xuan Fengqian, and explained earnestly.
"If you don't want to upset your brother, shouldn't you just do your duty? Why did you dance so gracefully while your brother was resting for no reason? Don't tell me there's something evil in your brother's study that you need to perform an exorcism."
Xuanfeng retorted coldly, not believing her words at all.
In her memory, Mu Fuqu had always been a tolerant, generous, and easy-going woman.
If Qingwu hadn't crossed Mu Fuqu's bottom line, why would Mu Fuqu have been so annoyed with her?
Furthermore, Xuan Fengqian always felt that there was an intricate connection between Qingwu and Xuan Qianning.
Although Xuan Qianning was naturally proud, she would never kneel down and beg like Qingwu did under any circumstances.
However, there is always an exception.
She firmly believed that after all that had happened, Xuan Qian Ningruo was still alive and would stop at nothing to take revenge on her.
Let alone kneeling, she would drink stinky urine in one gulp, let alone being forced to kneel.
With this thought in mind, Xuan Fengqian became even more vigilant.
If she weren't pregnant at the moment, Xuan Fengqian would still be willing to keep Qingwu by his side to see what other tricks she was up to.
But in this situation, she had to be extremely careful to protect the child in her womb.
Therefore, no matter what, she could never accept Qingwu, such a troublemaker.
After a moment of silence, just as she was about to order someone to invite Qingwu out of Qingfeng Palace, Mu Fuqu happened to arrive with Xuan Nu and Su Nu.
"Qianqian, look what treasure I brought you!" Mu Fuqu was especially excited and entered the inner room with a loud voice.
Seeing this, Qingwu hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face, stood up calmly, and retreated behind Xuanfeng Qian.
When Mu Fuqu saw Qingwu also in the Xuanfeng Shallow House, the smile on her face suddenly froze.
She asked Qingwu with slight displeasure, "What are you doing here?"
"I..."
Qingwu suddenly lowered her eyes, stammering for a long time, unable to give a coherent explanation.
"I just asked you a question, and you acted like you were about to burst into tears. People who don't know me would think I'm some kind of unreasonable person."
Mu Fuqu looked speechlessly at Qingwu, who was always good at putting on an act, and a nameless anger inexplicably rose in her heart.
"Your Highness, please don't misunderstand. I was just thinking about my deceased parents, and I'm feeling a little down."
Qingwu sniffed, forcibly suppressing the tears welling up in her eyes, her words filled with grievance.
Mu Fuqu was too lazy to waste words with her, and instead tightly grasped Xuan Fengqian's hand, saying mysteriously, "Qianqian, let me tell you, it's really your good fortune to have a sister-in-law as reliable as me."
"It's so cute that my sister-in-law is praising herself like that."
Xuan Fengqian looked at the carefree Mu Fuqu with doting eyes, a gentle smile on her face.
"Qingwu, you can go out first. I have something to say to Qianqian."
As Mu Fuqu spoke, she pulled Xuan Nu and Su Nu into the inner room.
Xuan Fengqian stared blankly at the three people who were closing in on her, and subconsciously took a few steps back. "Why are you three acting like lecherous men, staring at me like that, making me feel cold all over?"
“Xuan Nu, Su Nu, you two support Qian Qian’s arms together.”
Mu Fuqu winked at the two people beside her, then suddenly pounced on Xuan Fengqian, quickly stripping her naked.
"Sister-in-law, please don't do this. I'm scared."
Xuan Fengqian could sense that Mu Fuqu meant no harm, but she was really not used to being treated this way.
Mu Fuqu whispered in her ear, "Do you want to completely conquer your precious Demon Lord? I heard from the fairies in your palace that he seems a bit cold. But don't worry, your sister-in-law has plenty of ways."
"..."
Xuanfeng Qianshen feared that Mu Fuqu would be like a madam in a brothel, teaching her about love and affection through her own actions, and said with particular resistance, "Sister-in-law, please don't do anything reckless."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Mu Fuqu gave Xuan Fengqian a flirtatious wink, and then ordered Su Nu to teach Xuan Fengqian the art of the bedroom.
She herself was not idle either, carefully applying the specially made nectar evenly to Xuan Fengqian's body, saying, "Men all like women who are a little plump, so I'll apply a little more to you."
"Sister-in-law, I suspect you're taking advantage of me."
Xuan Fengqian was speechless. Looking at Mu Fuqu's busy hands, he suddenly shivered. "Sister-in-law, please stop. The smell of this nectar is really pungent."
Su Nu, who was trimming Xuan Fengqian's nails, said, "All immortal women have to go through these things before they get married. Don't be afraid, Princess. This nectar will not harm your immortal body. With long-term application of this nectar, your plumpness will definitely become even more pronounced. At that time, the Demon Lord will definitely be unable to resist you."
Xuan Fengqian shook her head, disagreeing with their views. "I don't think being a little thinner or heavier makes much of a difference. If he only likes voluptuous bodies, then he's not worthy of my love."
“What you say makes some sense. But Qianqian, do you know how many women surround the Demon Lord?” Mu Fuqu nodded heavily, still tirelessly applying nectar to her.
"He said that he would never be unfaithful again from now on."
Xuan Fengqian said this, but when she thought that the two of them hadn't gotten together yet, her confidence waned.
After hesitating for a moment, she actually took the honey jar from Mu Fuqu's hand and smeared it generously on her chest.
Taking a break, Mu Fuqu washed her hands while looking at Xuan Fengqian's flawless body and clicked her tongue, "This Demon Lord is a bit ungrateful. If I were a man, I would definitely tie you to my belt and torment you day and night."
