Not long after, Shen Yunhao sat down at the table, turned around and looked at the little white dragon who had already gotten up and was slowly putting on his outer robe and tying his silk sash. He couldn't help but smile.
"You're still laughing!"
Zhu Li fastened her belt, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Shen Yunhao's mischievous smile. She glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed, "How embarrassing! Everyone outside heard us!"
"We've been married for so long, everyone knows each other, what's there to be ashamed of..."
Shen Yunhao, with a face as thick as a city wall, got up and walked over, naturally pulling the still somewhat sullen little white dragon to sit on his lap. Then he put his head close to the girl's neck and took a deep sniff. He could smell a clear, sweet and warm fragrance that was unique to Zhu Li, like a spiritual flower blooming beneath an icy sea.
Zhu Li puffed out her cheeks, her tone tinged with dissatisfaction and grievance, "If I had actually gotten to eat it, that would be fine, I, the princess, would accept it! The problem is... the problem is I haven't even eaten anything yet, and I'm already being gossiped about behind my back for no reason, it's such a loss... such a huge loss!"
"..."
Okay, it has to be Little White Dragon again. His thought process and wild words always manage to surprise us.
However, this is the Demon Emperor's Palace, not the North Sea Dragon Palace, nor their own little nest.
It's one thing to fool around at night, but if something scandalous were to spread in broad daylight, it would certainly have a negative impact on the reputation of this dragon princess.
Just as Shen Yunhao was about to say a few words of comfort, two soft knocks came from the door.
Zhu Li had just found a comfortable position to lean against Shen Yunhao's lap, but now she could only get up in a huff, straighten her slightly wrinkled clothes, and walk forward with a stern face to open the door.
Standing outside the door was the same fat fox maid from the mural, but she still had that lazy look on her face.
Upon seeing her, Zhuli became even angrier and said irritably, "What? Are you trying to imitate your master and come in to observe?"
The maid rolled her eyes, seemingly unconcerned.
She held a small, exquisite jade plate in her hand, on which sat a small piece of dark-colored incense stick and a uniquely shaped array plate.
She handed the plate directly to Zhuli, her tone calm and even: "Seventh Princess, there's no need to be anxious. This is 'Spirit-Nourishing Incense' stored in the palace. When lit, it has a calming and aphrodisiac effect. You can experience its specific effects for yourself."
Also... this room is actually equipped with a soundproof array. The array plate is here. It can be activated by injecting spiritual power. Once activated, no sound can be heard from inside.
"You two...be mindful of your behavior, don't make our Demon Emperor Palace seem like some kind of shady den..."
Zhu Li, holding the plate, froze for two seconds before realizing the maid's meaning. Her pretty face flushed crimson, and she roared angrily, "You?! What nonsense are you spouting? Give it to me..."
Seeing that the candle was about to glow red, Shen Yunhao hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her back to his side. He chuckled awkwardly at the maid, "It's alright, it's alright, thank you for your kind reminder, we understand..."
The fat fox maid waved her hand, yawned deeply, turned around, and slowly walked away.
"Why are you stopping me? This is clearly slander!"
Zhu Li was being held by Shen Yunhao, her hands tucked into her pockets in a huff, a gesture that made her already impressive curves appear even more exaggerated.
Shen Yunhao smiled slightly, "This is their territory. Why are you getting angry with a mere maid? Aren't you afraid that she'll go back and spread even more outrageous rumors? As for whether it's slander..."
He lowered his head, leaned close to Zhuli's ear, and gently kissed her rosy cheek. "We know the truth in our hearts, so why should we care what they think? These guys are just... jealous that my sister Li'er is so beautiful and has someone who loves her. They're just feeling sour..."
These words, coupled with that gentle kiss, were like a spoonful of honey poured onto Zhuli's heart.
The shame and resentment in her heart were instantly thrown to the winds. The corners of the little white dragon's mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, but she still forced herself to hold her chin up and glared at Shen Yunhao coquettishly: "You brat, you have such a sweet tongue, you're always good at coaxing people..."
Shen Yunhao smiled but remained silent.
It's all because you, this vain little white dragon, love hearing these sweet nothings the most...
"oops!"
Zhu Li suddenly exclaimed, as if she had remembered something important.
"What's wrong?"
"I forgot to ask that annoying guy to tell me exactly how to activate this soundproofing array!" Zhu Li looked at the strangely shaped array plate in her hand, somewhat annoyed.
Shen Yunhao: "..."
As it turns out, that fox-spirited maid wasn't entirely wrong about her...
...
Meanwhile, inside Bai Xiaoruo's bedroom.
The little fox lay listlessly on its soft, wide bed, propping its head up with one arm, its nine bushy tails swaying unconsciously behind it, its gaze somewhat unfocused as it looked out the window at the magnificent, undulating complex of buildings of the Demon Emperor's Palace.
If Shen Yunhao were here, he would immediately notice that the style of Bai Xiaoruo's room was completely different from the simple and elegant bedrooms commonly seen on the Tianji Continent, and it had a hint of... modern simplicity and openness.
For example, next to the low bed where she is lying now, there is not a traditional carved wooden window, but a huge, almost floor-to-ceiling transparent glass window!
The glass was of excellent quality and extremely transparent, allowing her to lie lazily in bed and take in the view of the sea of clouds, palaces, and distant mountains outside. In addition, the location of her bedroom was already high, making the view even more open and magnificent.
It was August, and the sky was bright. Sunlight streamed unobstructed through the huge glass windows, pouring into the room and landing perfectly on Bai Xiaoruo's nine fox tails that were spread out in a fan shape behind her.
Every hair shimmered with a crystalline luster in the sunlight, as if it were edged with gold.
Bai Xiaoruo's maids all knew that the little fox had a habit of showing off its tail.
The sunlight not only makes the fur on her tail fluffier and softer, but also brings a warm and comfortable feeling.
Recently... isn't there a lecherous guy who keeps nagging to touch her tail?
Thinking of this, the girl's ears twitched slightly, and a barely perceptible blush rose on her face.
She had her tail thoroughly cleaned last night, and seven or eight maids spent a full half hour doing so...
Anyway... ever since Shen Yunhao met her father, Liu Yueqi, from another dimension, and "successfully passed the test," the little fox seemed much more relaxed and happy. Even the sunlight outside the window seemed brighter and warmer than usual.
