Little Fairy Doctor waved her hand at her, thinking to herself, *When you officially take your place, there will be even more shocking things in store for you.*
Then, she slowly walked out of the Divine Emperor Imperial Palace, stepping with the Mysterious Steps. After a few steps, she was already hundreds of meters away.
After Little Fairy Doctor left, Hu Jia rubbed her head and stood up, watching Little Fairy Doctor's retreating figure with envy in her eyes. "Sister Xian'er's figure is too good, and her waist is too thin. That scoundrel Xiao Che is really lucky."
After speaking, she looked down at her own figure. Although by Xiao Che's standards, she indeed could not see her toes, compared to Little Fairy Doctor, she was slightly inferior in every aspect.
If Xiao Che knew Hu Jia's inner thoughts, he would definitely look at her with disdain: *The difference between developed and undeveloped, how could a naive little girl like you understand? Do you know the value of a mature woman?*
"And she came out of Xiao Che's palace. He is such a big bad guy. He definitely did not do anything good last night."
She also had another thought: when would she be able to walk out like Little Fairy Doctor?
Hu Jia only completed her breakthrough during Xiao Che and the others' breakfast. As soon as she came out, she inexplicably found herself in front of Xiao Che's palace, and was caught red-handed by Little Fairy Doctor.
She rubbed her head, thinking to herself, *It hurts so much. Xiao Che must pay for this. A husband should pay his wife's debts; it is only fair. I will go collect it now.*
With that thought, Hu Jia seemed to have found a reason, and walked into Xiao Che's palace with full confidence. Whether Little Fairy Doctor was unintentional or not, the main door of Xiao Che's palace was not closed.
Hu Jia arrived at the palace gate, leaned against it, and peeked inside. This was her first time entering Xiao Che's bedchamber.
As she stepped one foot into Xiao Che's palace, Hu Jia felt her heart pounding intensely. She was both excited and nervous.
Her footsteps were extremely light; each step was cautious, for fear of making any sound.
As she walked into Xiao Che's palace, she tiptoed while surveying the surroundings of the palace's front hall.
The entire palace was not as magnificent and luxurious as she had imagined. What met her eyes was extreme simplicity. Apart from the golden patterns on the walls and pillars, the palace only had numerous Moonstones for illumination and what appeared to be very valuable and rare tables, chairs, and other furniture, looking very neat.
"I did not expect it to be so simple inside. It is almost the same as my own palace, just a tiny bit bigger."
Hu Jia immediately lost interest in looking around, secretly muttering to herself, "He is not still sleeping, is he? Could it be that Sister Xian'er..."
Hu Jia remembered that when Little Fairy Doctor left earlier, her face was noticeably flushed, as if she had eaten something good.
Suddenly remembering how she had been bullied by Xiao Che, and now by Little Fairy Doctor, she seemed to be grinding her little tiger teeth, as if plotting something mischievous.
However, what Hu Jia did not know was that behind her, Xiao Che's figure appeared like a ghost.
Xiao Che's lips curled into a faint smile. He was very curious about what Hu Jia was secretly doing by walking in.
Hu Jia thought Xiao Che was still sleeping, and her courage instantly grew. Her hunched back straightened immediately, and her entire face was full of confidence.
She continued to walk further into the palace, quietly commenting as she went.
Xiao Che, hidden in the shadows, watched Hu Jia, who was like an artist, continuously critiquing his palace, and could not help but chuckle. Then he disappeared from his spot.
Hu Jia, however, seemed to sense something, and gently turned her head, looking suspiciously at where Xiao Che had stood before.
Finding nothing, and fortunately, Xiao Che's palace was as bright as day under the Moonstones' illumination, without any eerie feeling, otherwise she would have become nervous.
Hu Jia paid no mind and continued walking. As she rounded a corner, she suddenly felt herself bump into a solid object.
Before she could react, Hu Jia felt her collar being grabbed, and her feet gradually left the ground. Hu Jia instinctively mobilized her Dou Qi to counterattack, but found that all her Dou Qi was sealed, and she could only struggle continuously, trying to break free from the restraint.
"Tiger Girl, what are you doing sneaking around in my palace?" Xiao Che looked at the flailing Hu Jia with a half-smile, his voice slightly teasing.
Hu Jia heard this unique address and looked at the person holding her, instantly stopping her struggles. Her face immediately became awkward; it was no different from being caught red-handed stealing something.
She was like a trapped little beast at this moment, frantically thinking of a way to deal with the situation.
"I... I was just passing by," Hu Jia stammered, her eyes darting around, not daring to look directly at Xiao Che.
"Passing by? This is inside my palace. How could you 'pass by' here?" Xiao Che looked at her with a playful expression, emphasizing the words 'pass by.'
Hearing Xiao Che's words, Hu Jia secretly cursed herself. There was no way even a fool would believe that. She stared intently at the ground, feeling that if there were a crack in the floor, she would be embarrassed enough to crawl into it.
"I just finished cultivating, and my head was a little dizzy, so I took a wrong turn. Yes, that is right." Hu Jia's tone was full of uncertainty. After speaking, she fiddled with her fingers. "How about... how about you put me down first? This posture is not good, and it is too tight."
Hu Jia felt her ample chest was bulging from her clothes being too tight. Fortunately, her clothes were of good quality, otherwise, they might have split.
Xiao Che raised an eyebrow. He did not immediately put her down. Instead, he turned her so she was facing him sideways.
It perfectly echoed the line of poetry: *Viewed horizontally, it is a range; viewed from the side, it is a peak.*
Hu Jia looked up at Xiao Che in confusion. "What do you want to do?"
"Not for now."
Hearing Xiao Che's words, Hu Jia became even more confused, looking at Xiao Che blankly, her eyes as clear as a university student's.
Xiao Che smiled. This was the difference between a young girl and a woman. If it were Little Fairy Doctor or the others, Xiao Che would just pat their butts, and they would know what to do.
Under Hu Jia's confused gaze, Xiao Che gently raised his other hand.
Hu Jia saw Xiao Che's movement and roughly guessed what he was going to do; this was not entirely unfamiliar to her.
But before she could speak, Xiao Che had already acted.
His target was precisely the junction of her inner thigh and the most ample curve tightly encased in her clothing!
**"Slap—!!"**
A crisp and resonant striking sound exploded in the quiet, luxurious palace, like a sudden clap of thunder!
The crisp sound continuously echoed in the empty palace.
"Mmph..."
A short, strange whimper escaped Hu Jia's lips.
