Inside the room, the two peerless beauties sat across from each other at a table, slowly sipping tea in unison.
There was no helping it. Lu Xiyue had not only shut the door but also laid down a formation. With her current avatar’s strength, Ji Yuhuang had no way to force her way in. If it were her true body, that would be a different story.
Zi Xiner’s tea-making skills were truly exceptional. Even Ji Yuhuang, empress of the Great Yan Empire, couldn’t help but praise her.
“As expected of the Holy Master of the Yaochi Holy Land….not only is your strength extraordinary, but your tea ceremony skills are also unparalleled.”
Zi Xiner raised her eyes to look at the woman in red sitting before her. With her level of cultivation, she could naturally tell that the woman in red was just an incarnation. Her true body had to be at least eighth-rank in cultivation.
She was close to Xiyue and had such a high level of cultivation, but no matter how much Zi Xiner searched her memory, she couldn’t think of any expert who matched this red-clothed woman’s traits.
It was perfectly normal that Zi Xiner couldn’t identify her. After all, according to the timeline of the previous life, Lu Xiyue hadn’t yet met Ji Yuhuang at this point. There was no way to make the connection.
“You flatter me. May I ask what brings you here?”
At that moment, Ji Yuhuang had completely retracted the tenderness she had shown in front of Chu Feng. Now, she radiated noble majesty, exuding the aura of an empress.
“For what reason? I came to check on my little husband, to see how he’s doing here in your esteemed Holy Land.”
Ji Yuhuang deliberately emphasized the words “little husband” with her beautiful eyes fixed on Zi Xiner. As if to say, the boy belongs to me. Her gaze carried a clear warning.
Zi Xiner’s expression remained calm; she showed no surprise at Ji Yuhuang’s words. Instead, she replied evenly, “Are you the little one’s wife?”
“Yes… and no. For now, I suppose you could say I’m his fiancée. But before long, my little husband and I will be holding a grand wedding. When the time comes, I just might invite you, Holy Master, to attend.”
Ji Yuhuang smiled slightly. She was confident in the place “Ji Wan’er” held in her little husband’s heart, and she believed that getting married wouldn’t be difficult.
After marrying him under the identity of Ji Wan’er, Ji Yuhuang planned to do it again under another identity. The joy in that alone went without saying.
Ah, the first time he took the initiative… the second time, it’ll be my turn.
The anticipation only grew.
“Since the little one calls me ‘Aunt’, then when that time comes, I’ll attend.”
Zi Xiner held her teacup gracefully, her eyes as still and tranquil as a calm lake, not a ripple to be seen.
Ji Yuhuang’s elegant brows furrowed slightly. Zi Xiner’s reaction left her feeling like she had punched a cotton wall. Is the Holy Master of the Yaochi Holy Land really this unbothered by anything?
In her previous life, she hadn’t interacted much with Zi Xiner. Instead, she’d had a few encounters with Liu Xueyao, the Holy Maiden of the Yaochi Holy Land. She’d only ever heard that Zi Xiner was in seclusion, focused on cultivation.
The only thing she clearly remembered about the Yaochi Holy Land was that, back then, the Holy Land had tried to marry Liu Xueyao off to a certain Holy Son. When her little husband found out, he charged into the Yaochi Holy Land alone with nothing but his sword, even forcing the slumbering ninth-rank old monsters to awaken.
Later, her little husband seemed to have come to some sort of agreement with those old monsters of the Yaochi Holy Land, but as for the details, she had no idea.
Now, seeing Zi Xiner for the first timen including both in this life and the previous one, Ji Yuhuang couldn’t help but wonder: Does this woman feel nothing at all?
Her calm eyes revealed no joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.
“What does the Holy Master think of my little husband?”
Ji Yuhuang asked indirectly, wanting to first make sure this woman wouldn’t fall for him.
At that moment, a faint smile appeared on Zi Xiner’s lips.
“The little one is remarkable, both in talent and character. I’m very satisfied with him. I believe that, given time, he will surely stand at the very peak of the cultivation world.”
As she spoke, a subtle radiance seemed to shimmer faintly around her. A touch of warmth flowed through her gaze. It was the kind of expression one might show when praising their own child.
Seeing this scene, Ji Yuhuang’s heart sank. Her sixth sense told her: This woman will definitely be a formidable rival in the future.
***
It had seemed like a calm and ordinary conversation with Zi Xiner, yet it left Ji Yuhuang with a lingering sense of threat.
If only this woman had a young girl’s body, I could rest easy. My little husband isn’t into that sort of thing.
Of all things, this woman’s appearance and figure were on par with hers.
“Seriously… one after another, they all have their eyes on my little husband.”
Ji Yuhuang felt somewhat displeased. Thinking about it carefully, Lu Xiyue, Bai Yuyan, Liu Xueyao, and that seductive fox from the demon race…just one day wasn’t enough for her little husband to divide his time among them. And now, with Zi Xiner thrown into the mix, there would be even less time left for her.
In that case, she would just have to seize the moment and “take a few extra bites” while she could. Ji Yuhuang raised her right hand, and a faint red glow appeared on her ring finger.
Hmph!
She had already planted a treasure on her little husband. Not only could it create dreams, but it also acted as a teleportation array, allowing her to instantly travel to his side. However, after each use of the teleportation function, it needed a long time to recharge.
That woman Lu Xiyue had talked big about forming an alliance before arriving, but after seeing her little husband, she had turned her back on their agreement and tried to monopolize him!
Since she was so ruthless, Ji Yuhuang saw no reason to be polite either.
She recalled some of the “special situations” her little husband had mentioned before. Like being slowly taken advantage of right in front of someone you loved, paired with the feeling of being powerless…
Now it was time for Lu Xiyue to experience firsthand what it meant to be a powerless Master!
Buzz—
The light from her ring finger flared, and Ji Yuhuang’s figure vanished.
In the room, a red-clad silhouette appeared.
Ji Yuhuang’s gaze fell on the large bed before her. There lay a woman cradling a young man in her arms, both fast asleep and peaceful.
Upon seeing the scene before her, Ji Yuhuang’s ample chest rose and fell slightly. Well now, Lu Xiyue! She had thought the woman to be a cold and aloof sword fairy, but it turned out that behind the scenes, she was actually a lovesick sword fairy!
With gentle movements, Ji Yuhuang approached the bedside. The red robe on her body instantly transformed into silk sleepwear. She then lifted the thin blanket and slipped under it.
***
On the soft bed, a stunningly mature woman was lying on her side, a thin blanket draped over her body, outlining her alluring curves.
Beside her lay a young man. His brows carried traces of exhaustion, and he was fast asleep, breathing quietly.
Suddenly, Chu Feng turned over. In his drowsiness, his cheek brushed against something unfamiliar. The sensation felt oddly familiar…almost like a memory from when he was a baby.
“How’s little brother sleeping?”
A soft, lazy voice sounded.
Still deep in slumber, Chu Feng smacked his lips a little, continuing to sleep soundly. But suddenly, a strange feeling crept into his mind. Something wasn’t right. He jolted awake and opened his eyes wide.
Wait a minute! That wasn’t Master’s voice!
After all this time, he could still recognize his Master’s voice.
Slowly, Chu Feng lifted his head. A familiar face came into view. Her phoenix eyes were full of tenderness.
When she saw him awaken, a playful glint flashed in her eyes. One hand gently reached for the back of the young man’s head, and with a soft tone, she said, “Little brother, do you still want to keep sleeping?”
Chu Feng’s brain crashed on the spot. Th-This… this…!
Big Sister Wan’er?
Why is she here!?
