That’s too ridiculous!
The most crucial thing is, everything experienced in the "Illusory World"—
Chu Yanli withdrew her left hand, looking at the traces of stickiness on her fingertips, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
"It’s really embarrassing!"
...
...
Chen Mo, holding a cat, left Changning Pavilion and walked towards the direction of Frozen Sky Palace.
What had just happened was merely a small episode; his mind was constantly worried about the Empress’s safety.
The Demon Lord might also be an ultimate BOSS-level existence, not necessarily much weaker than the Empress, not to mention the Desolate Domain was still the lair of the Demon Clan, just in case something unexpected happened...
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace even more.
While passing through the palace corridor, he happened to bump into an elder dressed in a water-blue long gown walking out of the Inner Court, with crane-like white hair, an immortal demeanor, and a silver vertical line engraved on his brow.
It was Qi Chengze, the Director of the Astronomical Observatory who ascended the high platform to observe the stars on the day of the grand festival.
At that time, it was this old man who shouted "Purple Qi from the East, a great omen," and then Tiandu City exploded...
Recalling the pattern seen behind Madam Xu, Chen Mo felt a slight movement, stepped forward quickly, cupped his hands, and said: "I am Chen Mo, greeting Lord Supervisor."
"Hmm?"
Qi Chengze was a bit absent-minded and didn’t notice someone coming over, then looked up upon hearing the voice.
Seeing that face clearly, his expression instantly froze, looking as if he’d seen a ghost.
"It’s you?"
"Does the lord recognize me?" Chen Mo asked curiously.
Qi Chengze shook his head like a rattle-drum, "I don’t. Goodbye... no, never see you again."
With that said, he turned around and ran away, his feet moving fast, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
???
Chen Mo had a face full of question marks.
Why did he run so fast?
As if afraid of being associated with me... Was I that scary?
Chen Mo was puzzled, shook his head, and continued walking towards Qianqing Gate.
He approached the female officer guarding the palace gate and inquired, "Has Her Majesty the Consort returned?"
"Oh, it’s Mr. Chen, Her Majesty..."
The female officer hadn’t finished her sentence when a rift tore through the void, a pale hand reached out, grabbing Chen Mo’s arm, and he was suddenly gone.
"Huh? Where did he go?"
"He was just here a moment ago..."
The female officer rubbed her eyes, blankly looking around.
Chen Mo only felt a blur before his eyes, and when his vision cleared, he found himself already in the sleeping chamber.
Yu Youhan was sitting on the beautiful couch, wearing a thin gauze dress, seemingly just after a bath, her hair still carrying faint moisture, and her azure eyes shimmered like gems.
Seeing her unharmed, Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief and bowed like usual.
"I pay my respects to the Empress."
After a moment, there was no response.
Then, a fragrance wafted in, and delicate, bare feet appeared in his view.
"Raise your head," Yu Youhan’s indifferent voice sounded.
Chen Mo straightened up, looked at the Empress, and saw her brows slightly furrowed, seemingly a bit displeased.
"Seeing me, don’t you have anything to say?"
"Empress..."
Chen Mo’s throat moved, and he said, "I missed you."
The corners of Yu Youhan’s mouth inadvertently lifted, her hands behind her back, tiptoeing, she softly spoke: "Hmm, anything else?"
Chen Mo stepped forward and said, "Please forgive me, Empress."
"Forgive what..."
"Mmm..."
The words came to an abrupt stop.
Chen Mo, holding her slender waist, directly pulled her into his arms, lowered his head to find those soft, pink lips.
Smooth, sweet, with a fragrance like orchids and musk.
A thought suddenly flashed in his mind:
Counting the Daoist Venerables, this should be the third Female Venerable he’s kissed today.
He felt like he was walking further and further down the path of a scoundrel.
