Mei Yu'er left, and Shen Yunhao was graciously arranged to stay in Zhu Li's bedroom.
When the White Dragon lived there before, it was always a mess when Shen Yunhao came over. Now that no one is there, Bing'er has tidied it up perfectly.
"Playing ball, what am I going to do now... How can I go see Yao'er?"
Mei Yu'er couldn't possibly be unaware that Shen Yunhao was a "married man," and the fact that she hadn't mentioned it yet already made her attitude very clear.
Putting everything else aside, even just for Nie Qingshuang's sake, Mei Yu'er would never let Shen Yunhao go back.
Besides, right now, Zhu Li really needs Shen Yunhao by her side.
Because he wasn't in seclusion, the little white dragon had to stay close to Shen Yunhao to prevent others from discovering the aura of his holy soul.
"By the way, Bing'er, do you know where my friend went?"
Shen Yunhao was referring to Mu Shuangshuang. Back then, Shen Yunhao took Mo Yan to the Valley of Polar Stars to lift the curse of the Netherfire, but Mu Shuangshuang stayed with Zhu Li because she was afraid of the cold.
After Zhu Li was pulled away by the will of the Ancestral Dragon, she never mentioned the little scorpion again.
Now that Shen Yunhao has returned to the Dragon Palace, he hasn't seen her, which is why he asked this question.
"Is the prince consort referring to that shepherdess? After you left, she didn't stay long before leaving too, saying it was too cold here and she wanted to go home..."
"go home?"
"Oh, right! She also left a letter for the prince consort..."
Bing'er reached into her sleeve, took out a piece of paper from her storage magic item, and handed it to Shen Yunhao.
Shen Yunhao glanced at it and found that it read at the top:
So boring, I'm going home to wait for you—again and again.
What the heck is "again and again and again"?
After searching for a while, I found another line of small print in the back corner:
My tail is so itchy... I'm waiting for you, my love...
Shen Yunhao blinked, coughed twice, and quickly put the letter away.
That damn scorpion, he's not even here and he still wants to mess with me, is he?
Okay! But don't wait until I get back, or I'll whip you into skewers...
"Well... well, Bing'er, if you're busy, you can go down first. I'm all set here!"
Bing'er seemed a little dazed, and subconsciously replied, "Oh...oh...I'm fine too..."
"???"
Shen Yunhao looked at her with some surprise, "Bing'er?"
"Ah...ah?"
The girl then realized what had happened, her face immediately turning bright red. "I...I'm sorry, Your Highness! I...I'll go out right away, so as not to disturb you and the princess's rest!"
After saying that, she grabbed her skirt and hurriedly ran out of the room.
"What's wrong with this girl?"
Shen Yunhao scratched his head, not thinking too much about it, and simply walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Thinking about it, it seems like I haven't had a proper rest in a long time..."
As one's cultivation level increases and one's soul power becomes stronger, the time needed for rest will decrease.
People like Xiaobailong, who are prone to oversleeping, are actually quite rare.
All told, Shen Yunhao has never had a proper night's sleep since leaving the Ice Cave Secret Realm.
He climbed onto the bed and then took the little white snake out of his sleeve.
Seemingly sensing the familiar scent of its little nest, the little snake lay on its back on the bed, stretching out its body freely.
Shen Yunhao smiled and shook his head, then lowered his head and kissed Zhuli on the top of her head. After thinking for a moment, he kissed the wisteria in his palm.
"Tell me... would you say I've achieved the goal of sleeping together in the same bed?"
Candlelight: "..."
Mo Yan: "..."
"Pfft..." Shen Yunhao rubbed the two little ones against his chest, his face full of doting affection. "You two little darlings, go to sleep!"
...
At the summit of the snow-capped mountain, the millennia-old snow gleamed with a faint blue light under the moonlight.
"Snap—"
The frozen stone gate shattered, and a white figure emerged from the snow.
With a gentle wave of her delicate hand, Leng Shuanghua caused the chilling aura surrounding her to transform into tiny ice crystals that fell softly to the ground.
She raised her sword, feeling the frost-like energy flowing across it, but her expression remained unchanged.
"Congratulations, Junior Sister... You've finally broken through!"
A clear, melodious voice came from the side. Ning Yuyao was slightly taken aback, turned around, clasped her hands in a salute, and asked, "Senior Sister... you've been waiting here all along?"
Ying Tangtang smiled slightly, "Master said that with that kid away, and your mind free of distractions, you could break through in two months at most... Now it seems that only a month has passed... As long as he doesn't come to cause trouble, you will definitely be able to soar to the sky..."
"Senior sister..."
Hearing this, Ning Yuyao frowned slightly. "Cultivation is never a smooth process. This matter has nothing to do with Brother Yunhao!"
"Okay, okay, I knew you'd take his side..."
Ying Tangtang sighed helplessly, "Let's go see Master!"
Ning Yuyao put two fingers together and gently tapped, and the Cloud Frost Sword seemed to float under her feet as if it had a spirit.
As the two flew into the air, Ning Yuyao suddenly asked, "Senior Sister, during my seclusion, what happened to Yun Hao...?"
"No, no! He hasn't returned, and there's been no news from him!"
Ying Tangtang rolled her eyes. "Can you please stop thinking about your brother all the time... You've never been like this before..."
The girl pouted but didn't say anything.
Ying Tangtang suddenly raised an eyebrow and leaned closer, saying, "Could it be... Guan Yingying is right, you young people are always so impatient..."
The girl paused, then blushed deeply, "Senior Sister!"
After letting out a scolding sound, it sped away...
"This girl... really is..."
Ying Tangtang smiled and shook her head, then quickly followed after him.
