Xuan Fengqian forced herself to remain calm, her rosy cheeks smiling, her voice clear and melodious like a light bell, "The osmanthus cakes you sent a few days ago were all devoured by the fairies, and I didn't even get a single piece. Today I just wanted to ask where I can buy osmanthus cakes?"
“That’s food from the mortal realm. If Your Highness wants some, I’ll go and buy it for you right away.”
Fu Chen smiled faintly, the aloofness in her eyes and brows transforming into a gentle tenderness.
Thank you.
She nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes sparkling, inadvertently revealing a captivating charm that haunted one's dreams.
Fu Chen stared at her intently, his gaze growing increasingly infatuated.
Lately, he has been thinking about her from time to time.
At first, he was annoyed, fearing that he might accidentally fall into her trap.
But the cold reception he received this morning really threw him into a state of turmoil.
This forced him to act quickly in order to win her heart as soon as possible.
His affection was genuine.
But he would never relinquish his control over her because of this affection.
As long as it allows him to replace Leng Ye and become the ruler of the Six Realms, he would be willing to personally send Xuan Fengqian to Leng Ye's bedside.
Xuanfeng Qian Tai understood what Fu Chen's eyes, filled with desire, meant, but still asked with a bright smile, "What are you looking at?"
"I felt a little dizzy, but I'm fine now. Your Highness, please wait a moment while I go to the mortal realm."
A blush appeared on Fu Chen's bloodless face, and his guilty look was just like that of a boy experiencing his first love.
Xuan Fengqian watched his retreating figure, her smile widening.
She has always adhered to her moral bottom line, and even though Leng Ye had repeatedly persecuted her, she never thought of toying with his feelings.
But Fu Chen's deception truly broke her heart.
She once considered him her best friend, but he repaid her with one scheme after another.
Since Fu Chen has been unkind and unjust to her, he shouldn't blame her for wantonly toying with his feelings.
She wanted to see who would have the last laugh.
Xuan Fengqian clenched her fists tightly, turned around abruptly, and walked straight into the library.
After about fifteen minutes, she finally found a record of the power of the gods in a book.
The account in the ancient texts is almost identical to what Leng Ye told her.
The so-called power of the gods is nothing more than a long-standing legend.
The legendary herb, which the gods placed great hopes on, never actually appeared before anyone.
In other words, the power of the gods is real, but their ability to foresee disasters is purely a fabrication by Fu Chen.
What puzzled her most was that there seemed to be an extremely mysterious power sealed away in her dantian.
If this mysterious power is not the power of the gods, then what is it?
Xuan Fengqian frowned, gently cradling her abdomen with both hands, muttering to herself, "Could it be some undigested poop and pee from before I transmigrated into the book?"
"puff--"
The man hiding behind the bookshelf couldn't help but chuckle.
Although he didn't understand what Xuan Fengqian meant, he found it quite amusing to see an ethereal fairy holding her belly and suspecting that it contained excrement.
"who?"
Xuanfeng Qian's alarm rang loudly, and he subconsciously took several steps back.
"Princess Xiantian, how have you been?" The man suddenly pulled several books from the bookshelf, revealing an exceptionally handsome face.
"You are... Yu Chen?"
Suddenly, memories of Yu Chen, the second prince of the Western Sea, flashed through Xuan Fengqian's mind.
They had met a few times before.
However, the original owner of this body was completely devoted to Leng Ye and never paid much attention to other men.
"Exactly."
Yu Chen braced himself on the shelf with one hand, deftly vaulted over it, and landed squarely in front of Xuan Fengqian.
Xuanfeng had no interest in dealing with him and instead searched through ancient texts on her own.
"Is Your Highness looking for a book?" Seeing her cold expression, Yu Chen asked gently with a forced smile.
"Um."
"What books does the princess usually read?"
"They're just some lowbrow stories."
Xuan Fengqian searched for most of the day and accidentally caught sight of the tattered book on the high shelf behind Yu Chen. So he braced himself on one side of him and stood on tiptoe to reach the book.
"Princess, men and women should not touch each other. If you get any closer, I will call for help."
Yu Chen intended to tease her, but she turned out to be much more enthusiastic than he had imagined.
Perhaps startled by her approach, he froze in place, his heart pounding like a wild horse, faster and faster.
Xuan Fengqian gave Yu Chen, whose face was as red as a cooked shrimp, a strange look, and muttered under his breath, "What's there to be nervous about? I'm not interested in you."
Before she could finish speaking, she released her grip and began to peruse the tattered book.
What greatly encouraged her was that this book did indeed record historical materials about the Tribulation of the Supreme Gods.
Ancient texts state that once one passes the Tribulation of the Supreme God, one can directly ascend to the status of a Supreme God and unlock infinite divine power.
"The princess is not yet ten thousand years old. She is still a greenhorn girl. Why should she worry about this ethereal and unattainable divine tribulation?"
Yu Chen was very resentful after hearing Xuan Fengqian say that she was not interested in him.
He then frequently sent her flirtatious glances and winked at her, trying to get her attention.
Unfortunately, Xuan Fengqian remained focused on the books in her hands and didn't even glance at him.
"Damn it! This book says that the Tribulation of the Supreme God is just a general term for the Tribulation of the Gods, not just the Tribulation of Lightning, and not necessarily just one tribulation. Is it trying to kill me before it's over?" A moment later, Xuanfeng Qian angrily threw the book on the ground and stomped on it twice.
Yu Chen frowned deeply. He had originally thought that a cold and beautiful woman like Xuan Fengqian would be the kind of person who could not show her emotions and had a very proper control of her expressions.
Unexpectedly, she first spewed nonsense about excrement and urine, then cursed in front of him, and even rudely trampled on the ancient books.
"Princess, are you really a woman?"
Yu Chen even suspected that beneath Xuan Fengqian's beautiful exterior lay a genuine male body.
With that thought in mind, he hesitated and reached out his hand, intending to grab a handful of her body to see if it was real or fake.
What are you doing?
Just then, a cold, sinister voice suddenly came from outside the library.
Xuan Fengqian was startled and instinctively hid behind Yu Chen.
Unexpectedly, Yu Chen was also incredibly cowardly.
In the blink of an eye, he darted behind Xuan Fengqian again.
"Xuanfengqian, are you that thirsty?"
Leng Ye, carrying a long string of shuttle thread, strode aggressively toward Xuan Fengqian.
Why am I thirsty?
Unable to dodge, Xuan Fengqian simply raised her head and coldly retorted.
"Caught red-handed by me, and you still won't admit it?"
Leng Ye pulled her behind him, his cold, razor-sharp gaze landing on Yu Chen, who was awkwardly laughing. "You dare touch my woman?"
