The next morning, a shriek erupted from Ye Lingyuan's chambers, "Ye Lingyuan, I'm going to kill you!"
Fortunately, they were on the mountaintop, otherwise, the scream would have woken half the street.
After the scream, the chamber devolved into chaos.
One prince grabbed a divine physician's wrist with one hand and the ankle of her high kick with the other.
The two were pressed together in a very intimate pose.
Ye Lingyuan smiled, "Is Lin'er trying to murder her husband?"
Zi Lingling's eyes blazed, her hands and feet struggling.
Unfortunately, the prince's grip was like an iron clamp.
Unable to break free, the divine physician glared.
Ye Lingyuan playfully admired her flailing, their eyes meeting.
Suddenly, his brow furrowed.
A single, crystal tear traced a path down the divine physician's cheek.
The prince panicked.
He had seen her cunning, her sharp wit, her composure in adversity…
But he had never seen her cry.
Ye Lingyuan stammered, "Lin'er, I…"
Zi Lingling, teary-eyed, said, "Ye Lingyuan, you bullied me again!"
Her fierce tone was filled with grievance.
She and Ye Lingyuan had finalized their plans for the day last night, and it had gone late.
The recent non-stop travel and cultivation had worn her to exhaustion.
She was incredibly drowsy.
However, it was the full moon night, the time when Moon Glaze Aura flared up.
She wanted to leave Southern Mountain Villa, but Ye Lingyuan couldn't bear to be apart from her.
Helpless, they sat there, staring at each other.
But to her surprise, when she woke up in the morning, she found herself in bed.
The bed, of course, was Ye Lingyuan's gilded, carved wooden bed.
Originally, this was not a big deal.
But the problem was, when Zi Lingling woke up, she found herself sleeping on the prince's arm.
What's more, she was wrapped around Ye Lingyuan like an octopus.
And the prince? He was clearly enjoying it, why would he push away an octopus? Sultan Novel Network.
Thus, they embraced all night, his arms around her fragrant form.
Thus, the moment Zi Lingling's eyes opened, they met the prince's deep gaze.
Then, she discovered her indecent posture and turned the tables.
Hence, the rather intimate scene in the chamber.
Seeing Zi Lingling's wronged expression, Ye Lingyuan, with a pang of heartache, loosened his grip.
The divine physician, caught off guard, tumbled towards the ground.
If she had fallen squarely, her delicate buttocks would have suffered.
Perhaps people in love have slower reflexes.
Zi Lingling had forgotten that she was a powerful cultivator beyond the peak of the Spirit Gathering realm.
With a slight use of her spiritual energy, she could have stabilized herself.
But at this moment, her reaction was clearly sluggish.
"Ah!"
A cry of panic.
Ye Lingyuan was shocked.
Fortunately, his reaction was swift, and he reached out, embracing the divine physician's slender waist.
But because of this, their faces were almost touching.
Subtle currents of affection flowed between their gazes.
The ambiguous atmosphere rapidly spread.
The divine physician, who considered herself thick-skinned, felt her heart pounding out of her chest.
Her face flushed, her ears burned. All her fierceness turned into tender yielding.
And Ye Lingyuan, whose skin was even thicker than the divine physician's, was no better.
He looked at her alluring, tender lips, and slowly leaned in.
His composure, which was supposed to be unwavering when holding a beauty, vanished like smoke!
Her lips were sweet and fragrant, a brief touch and then they separated.
Before tasting her flavor, it was possible to stop at a mere taste.
But having already tasted, how could his heart remain still?
Thus, the冥王 (Underworld King), who had been in a state of abstinence, transformed into a starving wolf and once again captured Zi Lingling's cherry lips.
They only reluctantly parted when their breathing became difficult.
"Lin'er, this king will definitely be responsible!" Though nothing had happened last night.
The prince added silently.
After all, whether something happened or not, Zi Lingling was destined to become the Underworld King's consort.
Zi Lingling, blushing like a flower, pushed Ye Lingyuan away fiercely and stood upright.
"Ahem!"
She coughed lightly, embarrassed, and said, "Considering nothing happened last night, I'll let you off this time!"
With that, she fled as if pursued.
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor knew perfectly well she was still a maiden.
And she fled because she feared she would be unable to resist and would instinctively lean towards the prince's cool lips.
Old Qin and Aunt Chang watched the direction of Ye Lingyuan's chambers, first startled, then showing a knowing smile.
When they saw Zi Lingling hurrying out, their expressions became even more peculiar.
Old Qin smiled, "Is the Consort going down the mountain?"
Zi Lingling's face was as red as a cooked crab.
She nodded vaguely, bypassing Old Qin.
Aunt Chang smiled, "Consort, breakfast is ready. You should eat before you leave!"
Eat?
Better not.
She was a little afraid to face Ye Lingyuan at this moment.
After all, she hadn't refused just now, she had even responded proactively.
So, she said flusteredly, "Thank you, Aunt Chang, I have something to do, I'll be going now!"
With that, she once again turned into a gust of wind and ran forward.
"Ouch!"
Zi Lingling rubbed her nose.
She was so engrossed in running with her head down that she bumped into a wall, a wall of a person.
"What, Lin'er, are you so full you don't need breakfast?"
The teasing tone made Zi Lingling want to punch him.
"Did Lin'er eat and run, and no longer intend to take responsibility for this king?"
Ye Lingyuan's telepathic voice sounded in her ears, successfully making her explode.
Eat and run?
Who ate whom?
It was clearly the prince who wanted to devour her, and she had merely responded, no, retaliated.
"Ye Lingyuan, you scoundrel!"
Her explosive fury was a far cry from her shy desire to flee earlier.
She looked up to meet his deep eyes, her fierce side re-emerging.
Ye Lingyuan smiled.
His intention was to keep Zi Lingling here, and why wouldn't his Lin'er eat breakfast?
It had to be said, goading was very effective.
Of course, only his goading worked on Zi Lingling.
He grabbed Zi Lingling's hand and said, "Since you've called me a scoundrel, stay and have breakfast with this scoundrel."
Saying this, he pulled Zi Lingling towards the dining hall without her consent.
Looking at the table laden with dishes, Zi Lingling's stomach rumbled involuntarily.
"Here, Lin'er, sit here!"
Ye Lingyuan pushed her into a chair and sat beside her.
He served Zi Lingling, gently saying, "Good girl, eat something! It's not good for you to skip breakfast!"
