Now that Senior Sister Yuyan had arrived, Chu Feng was feeling anxious inside. He was eager to see her.
Ji Yuhuang saw right through Chu Feng’s thoughts. Having finally gotten her hands on her little husband, there was no way she’d hand him over so easily.
“I understand.”
“Your Majesty, I—mmph!”
Just as Chu Feng was about to speak, his cheek was suddenly pinched by the Empress, leaving him unable to say a word.
“Don’t even think about slipping through my fingers. Even if the Moonlight Sword Fairy herself were here, it would be useless.”
At this moment, Chu Feng was full of regret… deep, overwhelming regret.
Why had he come to the palace for no reason?! Wouldn’t it have been better to just wait quietly in his room for Senior Sister Yuyan?
Now look what happened. This was like Tang Sanzang stumbling into the Spider Cave. He wanted to run but there was no escape—
“But as My imperial consort you won’t be treated poorly. In this storage pouch are ten thousand spirit stones. Take it.”
As Ji Yuhuang finished speaking, a nearby palace maid immediately stepped forward with a tray, upon which sat a storage pouch.
Chu Feng: !!!
Ten thousand spirit stones!
Chu Feng was completely stunned. He only had about three hundred spirit stones to his name right now, and the Empress just casually handed him ten thousand. What was he supposed to do? He suddenly didn’t feel like trying so hard anymore.
Ji Yuhuang continued coldly, “Of course, if in the future you can make me happy and satisfied, there will be even more rewards. But first, you must renounce your status as a disciple of the Heaven’s Pinnacle Sect and obediently stay by My side….no running away.”
Under the Empress’s majestic phoenix eyes, Chu Feng felt like a little lamb being stared down by a big bad wolf.
“Mmm mmm mmm…”
Chu Feng tried to speak, but his cheek was still being pinched by the Empress.
Ji Yuhuang finally let go of her fair hand, allowing Chu Feng to catch his breath. He rubbed his cheek.
“I understand, Your Majesty. I won’t run.”
But in truth, Chu Feng was thinking:
Yeah right. I’ll agree for now, lull the Empress into a false sense of security, then find a chance to sneak away.
It’s not that the Empress isn’t attractive. If she had been the first person Chu Feng met after transmigrating, the story would’ve been titled: “Starting Off Chosen by the Empress as Her Imperial Husband and Living a Life of Leisure”.
But now, Chu Feng still had his master and Senior Sister Yuyan.
His master and Yuyan had been so good to him. How could he just renounce his Heaven’s Pinnacle Sect disciple status for the sake of an Empress he’d just met?
Chu Feng couldn’t bring himself to betray his master like that.
Looking at her seemingly obedient little husband, Ji Yuhuang noticed how his round eyes were darting about….hmm! Definitely scheming something!
“How can I believe what you’re saying?”
“I, Zhang San, swear it!”
“Zhang San? If I recall, that’s not your name.”
Crap! Chu Feng had gotten too used to calling himself Zhang San and forgot that the Empress actually knew his real name.
“Junior Brother!”
At that moment, Chu Feng heard a familiar voice. It was Senior Sister Yuyan!
“Yuyan—”
Just as Chu Feng was about to speak, Ji Yuhuang domineeringly pinched his cheek, then leaned in and pressed her red lips tightly against his.
Smack~
The mature beauty kissed the young man.
While Chu Feng was still dazed, she boldly invaded his territory, sweeping through and entangling tightly.
“Mmph mmph!”
Chu Feng tried to struggle, but with just first-rank cultivation, he couldn’t stir up even the slightest ripple before Ji Yuhuang.
“Junior Brother!”
Bai Yuyan burst into the hall, only to be stunned by the scene before her.
The junior brother she couldn’t bear to even spoil too much was now being devoured mouthful by mouthful by Ji Yuhuang.
The scene at this moment—
Touma—Kitahara.
Yukina.
Smack—
Ji Yuhuang licked her lips in satisfaction, her cold phoenix eyes locking onto Bai Yuyan as a mocking smile crept across her face.
“Mm~ Your little junior brother is delicious. I’m quite pleased.”
Bai Yuyan was so furious at the sight that she could barely breathe.
As for Chu Feng, oxygen-deprived from the kiss, his mind was still spinning in a daze.
“Ji Yuhuang! Don’t go too far!”
Bai Yuyan gripped her Crimson Jade sword, crimson flames flowing around her.
“Heh!”
Ji Yuhuang let out a cold laugh. In her previous life, when Bai Yuyan said something like that to her, it might have been a threat. But now, times had changed!
“If your master were here, perhaps I’d be somewhat wary. But you? You’re nowhere near enough.”
“However, there is something I might be willing to discuss with you.”
Bai Yuyan fixed her gaze on Ji Yuhuang. What was this woman up to?
“What is it?”
“This….let’s talk somewhere else.”
“Fine.”
At that moment, the aura around Ji Yuhuang suddenly dropped slightly, though no one present noticed.
***
Ji Yuhuang brought Bai Yuyan to her imperial study.
Bai Yuyan got straight to the point. “Ji Yuhuang, what do you want to talk about?”
“Bai Yuyan, this is something you need to learn from your master, the Moonlight Sword Fairy. That is how to stay calm.”
Ji Yuhuang spoke slowly and deliberately.
“Give me back my junior brother, and I’ll talk calmly with you.”
Halfway through her fight with the shadowy figure, Bai Yuyan realized something was off. The person was from the Dragon Phoenix Guard!
She immediately guessed this was Ji Yuhuang’s doing and tried to rush to her junior brother’s side, but the shadowy figure kept entangling her, making it hard to get away.
“No need to rush. Compared to your little husband, aren’t you worried about those other two women? Forget the vixen. Even just the Saintess of Yaochi isn’t someone you can handle right now.”
Ji Yuhuang spoke slowly. Even she had to admit. The vixen was a troublesome one. As for the Saintess from Yaochi, she was currently only around sixth-rank cultivation.
Bai Yuyan thought it over carefully. Indeed, among the women who had been entangled with her junior brother in their previous life, those two were just as troublesome as Ji Yuhuang herself.
And right now, she was at the bottom in terms of cultivation. Competing for her junior brother’s affection put her at a clear disadvantage… even though she was already very close to completely winning him over.
But those two women never played by the rules. There was no telling. At their first meeting, they might just snatch her junior brother away. And then, she, Bai Yuyan, would be left helpless, forced to watch without being able to do anything.
What kind of tragic heroine storyline was this?
“So, what exactly are you getting at, Ji Yuhuang?”
“It’s simple. I’ll give you the best cultivation resources. With your talent and your experience from the previous life, you could quickly reach fifth-rank. Maybe even have a breakthrough to sixth-rank with a bit of luck.”
“I don’t believe you’d give me all that for nothing. What do you want?”
Bai Yuyan stared straight at Ji Yuhuang.
Ji Yuhuang remained calm and replied casually, “You and I form an alliance. We completely suppress any news of our little husband being with me. Then, the two of us can enjoy him for ourselves….and even your master won’t know.”
After hearing that, Bai Yuyan had to admit. The offer was very tempting.
“Then how would I know if you’re sneaking bites behind my back?”
Bai Yuyan certainly didn’t believe Ji Yuhuang would be so honest and well-behaved.
“In that case, how about I personally stay by your side and protect you? As for our little husband, I’ll naturally have someone take good care of him,” Ji Yuhuang said lazily, propping her chin up with one hand.
Bai Yuyan thought it over again and again. For now, it seemed like there was no downside. Plus, with this woman staying constantly by her side, there was no need to worry about her hogging him for herself.
“Fine.”
“In that case, our alliance is officially established, dear Yuyan.”
“Hmph! It’s just a collaboration, nothing more.”
“I know.”
At that moment, a glint of cunning flashed in Ji Yuhuang’s eyes. After reaching eighth-rank cultivation, a cultivator could form an avatar.
And the one currently with Bai Yuyan was exactly that. It was Ji Yuhuang’s avatar.
As for her true body…
