"Qian Renxue, find a place to rest yourself."
"There are plenty of empty rooms in this palace."
After leaving behind a single sentence, the two figures disappeared behind layers of gauze curtains.
Qian Renxue stood there, watching the direction the two had left, stomping her feet in anger.
"That woman!"
"Absolutely shameless!"
Da Qiao covered her mouth and chuckled softly, the lantern in her hand swaying gently.
"Young Master, please don't be angry."
"It's only natural that the master is incredibly charming."
...
Haiyue Bedroom.
This is the most heavily guarded area in the entire palace, and also Haiyue's private territory.
Upon entering the room, Haiyue couldn't wait to wave her hand and set up an isolation barrier.
She turned around and looked at the man she had been longing for day and night, her eyes filled with such intense affection that it seemed almost tangible.
"Brother Qianyu..."
"I miss you so much."
As Haiyue spoke, she slowly stepped forward.
As she walked, the shimmering long dress she wore seemed to flutter down like petals.
First came the outer layer of tulle, followed by a ribbon to cinch the waist.
Her snow-white skin glowed with a soft luster under the gentle light of the moonstone, and her perfect curves were enough to drive any man in the world crazy.
She walked up to Qianyu, wearing only a close-fitting undergarment, the thin fabric barely concealing her impressive figure.
Haiyue reached out and gently unbuttoned Qianyu's clothes, her movements soft and reverent, as if she were unwrapping a precious gift.
"Brother Qianyu, tonight..."
"You are mine."
Qianyu looked at the alluring beauty before him, reached out and embraced her slender waist, feeling its warmth against his skin.
"You little rascal, you're getting bolder and bolder."
Aren't you worried your body won't be able to handle it?
Haiyue raised her head, her eyes glazed, and offered her red lips.
"Anything given by Brother Qianyu..."
"Even if it's poison, Haiyue would gladly accept it."
...
Just as spring was in full bloom inside the palace, the Heavenly Golden List outside was shaken once again.
The golden light, which had subsided, erupted once more.
[Ranked 10th on the Douluo Power Ranking!]
[Cai Wenji!]
The scene shifts, and a little girl sitting on a huqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument) appears in the sky, her melodious music soothing all things.
But this was clearly of no appeal to the Sea Moon Empire at this moment.
Outside the palace of the Sea Moon Empire.
The sea breeze howled, and the night was deep.
Bibi Dong and Hu Liena stood in the cold wind, looking at the tightly closed palace gates, their faces extremely grim.
Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward and conveyed Haiyue's instructions with a blank expression.
"Gentlemen, Her Majesty the Empress has important matters to attend to and is unable to receive guests tonight."
"His Majesty said that you two should wait here for a while. If His Majesty is available tomorrow morning, he will summon you."
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena immediately flew into a rage.
"What?"
"Important matters to handle?"
She pointed to the brightly lit but tightly closed palace and said angrily:
"What time is it? What urgent matter could it be?"
"They couldn't possibly be busy sleeping, could they?"
"Making us sit here in the sea breeze all night is just too much!"
Bibi Dong reached out and stopped Hu Liena, who was about to lash out again. Although her face was gloomy, she was much calmer than Hu Liena.
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
"Nana, shut up."
Bibi Dong took a deep breath, suppressing the humiliation in her heart.
"Haiyue is, after all, the ruler of a country, so it's normal for her to be busy with affairs."
"Since she tells us to wait, then let's wait one night."
Although she said that, Bibi Dong had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Although the barrier blocked the aura emanating from the palace, as someone with experience, she still keenly sensed an unusual fluctuation.
That was the aura of yin and yang merging.
"Could it be..."
"That Haiyue is with a man..."
Bibi Dong was startled, followed by a wave of irritation.
What kind of man could make the proud and arrogant Queen of the Sea Moon treat him like this? Even going so far as to shut out her, the former Pope, for his sake?
This feeling of being ignored and outshone fueled Bibi Dong's resentment.
"Hmph, I'd like to see who's really behind you!"
...
Nothing was said that night.
The sea breeze blew all night, and Bibi Dong and Hu Liena stood outside the palace all night.
As the eastern horizon began to lighten, both of them had some dew on their hair and looked rather disheveled.
"Teacher, it's dawn."
Hu Liena said wearily, her eyes bloodshot.
"How much longer do we have to wait for Haiyue?"
Bibi Dong stared at the still tightly closed palace gates without speaking, but the chill in her eyes grew even stronger.
Meanwhile, inside the palace.
The enchanting atmosphere that filled the room had not yet dissipated.
On the spacious cloud bed, Haiyue nestled lazily in Qianyu's arms like a well-fed cat.
Her cascading silver hair was scattered on the pillow, and faint red marks remained on her skin, giving her a breathtakingly alluring charm.
Qianyu leaned against the headboard, looking relaxed, playing with Haiyue's hair in one hand and holding a cup of sake in the other.
"Not enough?"
Seeing the lingering look in the eyes of the person in her arms, Qianyu teased.
Haiyue nuzzled against his chest and said sweetly:
"Brother Qianyu is like the strongest liquor in the world; you can never get enough of it."
"How about we make Bibi Dong wait one more day?"
"Anyway, she's caused Qianyu a lot of trouble before, so this punishment is too lenient."
Qianyu smiled but didn't reply.
Just then, there was a very light knock on the door.
"Your Majesty, Master."
"This servant is here to help you wash up."
It was Zhu Zhuqing's voice.
Haiyue showed no intention of getting up, only lazily responding:
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and Zhu Zhuqing walked in carrying a gold basin and toiletries.
When she saw the blush-inducing scene on the bed, even though she was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but feel her heart race and her cheeks burn.
The visual impact was especially striking to see Her Majesty the Empress, who was usually so aloof, now nestled in a man's arms like a little woman.
Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, not daring to look around, and carefully walked to the bedside, knelt down, and held the golden basin above her head.
Haiyue peeked out from Qianyu's arms, looking at Zhu Zhuqing kneeling on the ground, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.
She suddenly reached out and lifted Zhu Zhuqing's chin, forcing her to raise her head.
"Brother Qianyu".
Haiyue turned to look at Qianyu, a smile on her face like she was showing off a treasure.
"You seem quite interested in this kitten."
"Although this girl was also a member of Shrek Academy, that was in the past."
"I've put a lot of effort into training him since he came to me."
As she spoke, Haiyue's fingertips gently traced Zhu Zhuqing's delicate collarbone, finally resting on the silver choker.
"Her body is perfectly clean right now, and..."
Haiyue leaned close to Qianyu's ear and whispered:
"Cats are very agile."
