“This milk tea is genuine. It must be a big treasure brought out for Yun and Qin to participate in the main competition of the Sect’s Great Competition. Non-toxic and harmless. I wonder what the formula is, if it can be replicated. It would be great if it could be kept as a regular pre-battle stimulant.”
Yun Liu thought to himself.
The night breeze brought an unusual Spirit Breath, extremely faint, no different from the flying insects and roaming beasts around the Sea of Clouds, yet it was caught by the drug-induced young man.
“Come out.”
The window suddenly opened, then closed again, but no figure was seen.
The cat that doesn’t use the front door isn’t the only one. A pair of tall, slender legs wrapped in black stockings suddenly materialized from the air. The secret night visitor slowly removed the Golden Crow Royal Robe, revealing her true form.
“You could even sense this?”
Jing Tan’er stuck out her tongue. It was as if she was draped in an invisible cloak, difficult to detect even with Divine Sense.
An Earth Tier Artisan Product. This was the most precious defensive treasure in the national treasury, yet the little princess used it to sneak onto Xi Xu Peak and Jueyun Peak, hiding from prying eyes. Her current Cultivation could only activate the invisibility effect.
“Your humble servant was unaware of Your Majesty’s visit to this humble abode. I failed to welcome you from afar and am overwhelmed with trepidation.”
Yun Liu bowed in an exaggerated manner, like a favored male consort chosen by the Empress, honored to the extreme.
“Enough with the formalities! How many times have you taken liberties with me? You’ve completely desecrated the royal dignity! I warn you, if you dare take advantage and lay hands on me again, I’ll… I’ll…”
Jing Tan’er stood with hands on hips, one leg slightly forward, her pretty face wearing an arrogant expression, managing her demeanor quite well. She had seen the light on in the Bao Ta Top Pavilion from afar, pretended to sleep to shake off her attendants, and tiptoed her way up. Clearly walking into the trap herself, yet she acted completely unwilling.
No joking today. She was here to declare sovereignty and establish her family status!
A Consort Princess must act like a Consort Princess. If there’s kissing to be done, I should be the one to initiate it. How can I allow Yun Liu to continue his transgressions?
“Then you yield, practically wanting to devour me. What will you do? Raise your hands in surrender? Every time it’s just symbolic resistance.”
“Nonsense! It’s clearly you overstepping your bounds from below! For a rebel like you, a hundred heads wouldn’t be enough to chop off!”
Jing Tan’er couldn’t hold it in anymore, stomping her foot in shame and annoyance.
“Which time wasn’t it you who stuck your tongue out first?”
“That was self-defense counterattack.”
“Hmph!”
Serving the “Princess” was the unscrupulous Master of Family Teaching’s happiest time. The young girl’s duplicitous appearance was excessively cute. Her weak threats were more like hints to increase the intensity, implying anticipation.
“Oh, so His Majesty didn’t come to favor this rebel?”
Yun Liu pretended to be disappointed, a playful smile on his face, hands behind his back as he stepped closer step by step.
Jing Tan’er lifted her chin, but her uneasy legs retreated, soon backed into a corner.
“Stop making me laugh, okay? It’s… it’s just routine business. After all, ruling the Four Borders inevitably involves dealing with Shanhai Pavilion. Surely no one really thinks this king can’t do without you anymore? Right? Right? Right?”
Thud!
Yun Liu braced one hand against the wall, trapping the shouting Princess in the corner. Jing Tan’er pressed her hands against the wall, her voice trembling. The moment she was ‘wall-slammed’, she instantly became docile.
“Go on, Your Majesty, continue. Your humble servant is listening.”
“This is no posture for listening to imperial decrees! It’s even ruder than a savage! Mister… please behave yourself! This is a crime, the crime of deceiving the sovereign! This king came here this time to discuss important matters…”
“What were they again?”
The young girl’s face was red enough to drip blood. Her vague, indistinct words were like a mosquito’s buzz. Things like appointing a State Preceptor, pillow talk suggestions… all forgotten in an instant.
Strange. These were words Yun Liu used to say to others before. But right now, he just wanted to commit the “crime of deceiving the sovereign,” and so he did.
He pressed down on Jing Tan’er’s hands, leaning close to her ear, his hot breath blowing, making the Princess’s head steam.
“Louder. I can’t hear you.”
“If you think I’m a paper tiger like Xiao Siran, you’re gravely mistaken… Don’t think that with the former king’s last decree you can act lawlessly… Whether I have the qualifications to be a motherly figure to the realm is still under review…”
Mmmph—
She didn’t even get a chance to resist. Her whole body went limp in the corner. Yun Liu kissed Jing Tan’er’s lips without another word. This time it was even worse; there wasn’t even symbolic resistance.
Sovereign not sovereign, subject not subject. The unique flirtation between the two was still fermenting.
This kiss nearly suffocated the young girl. When he finally released her, she gasped for air, her eyes misty and hazy, already melted in his embrace.
Darn it. In the end, she still couldn’t preserve the Empress’s dignity. The plan to establish family status failed once again.
“Just now, who did you say was a paper tiger?”
“Bully… Picking on me means you’ve found a soft persimmon to squeeze…”
Jing Tan’er’s face was flushed crimson. She didn’t expect the opposing firepower to be even stronger, especially that burning heat below, almost making her unable to stand steady, her legs unable to close.
Hate it. Why does every appointment end up like this? Led by the nose by that lewd Consort Princess again.
Jing Tan’er pressed against Yun Liu’s cheek. She clearly didn’t smell any alcohol, yet the young man looked drunk, which was very strange.
“So hot, do you have a fever?”
“Not yet, but soon. Want to try me at a hundred degrees?”
Yun Liu clearly hadn’t realized the side effects brought by the milk tea. His reason was evaporating bit by bit, chasing after instinct, indulging in revelry.
In the quiet moment, a soft, unhurried sound of footsteps came.
Someone was coming up the stairs.
The two hurriedly separated, a suggestive arc stretching between their lips.
“Shh! Someone’s coming. I’ll hide first. If Aunt Master sees me, she’ll probably say this king doesn’t abide by womanly virtues.”
Jing Tan’er flustered about, while also sighing in relief. She draped the Golden Crow Royal Robe back on and vanished into the corner, looking rather guilty like a thief.
The Empress feared no one, but was somewhat afraid of Aunt Master. Perhaps it was a woman’s intuition; she could always feel that intense hostility.
Yun Liu, holding his forehead, walked to the table, forcing himself to calm down. He vaguely sensed something was off, so he poured another cup of milk tea to cool off.
“Xiao Yun?”
A gentle voice came.
Qin Xiang pushed the door open and walked in. Yun Liu looked at her in surprise.
“Did you forget something?”
“What, not welcome? Master specially came to tell me you were alone, empty, lonely, and cold. Were you waiting for some other girl?”
Qin Xiang smiled brightly, her gaze teasing, though she didn’t notice anything unusual.
“Doesn’t exist!”
Yun Liu forced a dry laugh twice. Even if Sister Qin tacitly permitted it, getting caught red-handed in an affair still made him so nervous he could dig a hole with his toes.
What kind of Asura Rank situation is this!?
Jing Tan’er, hiding in the dark, felt her heart tighten. Although she had mentally prepared for it, seeing it with her own eyes still brought a sense of loss.
Mister and Senior Sister Qin’s relationship really is special. Just don’t know how far it’s progressed, if they’ve jumped the gun.
Then again, that little head full of wild thoughts swelled up again.
I’m the woman Teacher pressed against the wall and kissed.
Can anyone else do that?
Qin Xiang rubbed her hands. As soon as she sat down, she poured a cup of tea and slowly took a sip, her tongue lightly licking her lips.
Although she didn’t know why Master had instructed her in such detail, she obediently followed. After coming upstairs, first drink tea to warm up, saying a cold front was coming recently.
