Chapter 78

Yun Chuyou quickly pulled Xie Qi away from the group of people. She was afraid that if they stayed any longer and he said a few more words, the situation would spiral out of control.

After closing the door and sending everyone away, she brought up the matter of going into the palace.

The latter frowned slightly, "Chuyou, it is very dangerous in the palace."

Yun Chuyou said, "I know, but I have important reasons to go."

Xie Qi looked at her, "Do you have to go now? Can’t you wait a little longer?" The unspoken meaning of his words was, wouldn’t it be better to spend more time with him?

Yun Chuyou looked firmly into Xie Qi’s eyes, "I cannot."

Xie Qi asked again, "Is it because of those people you met today?"

"No," Yun Chuyou said, "they are just a small part of the reason; the main reason is that I want to go."

She smiled and said, "Didn’t you say they were ugly? How could you think I would take risks for them?"

After she said this, Xie Qi understood that those people really held little weight in Yun Chuyou’s heart.

He then asked, "If I said I don’t want you to go, would you be willing to give it up for me?"

Yun Chuyou did not answer his question directly, but instead asked, "What if I say I hope you don’t like me so much, can you do that?"

Xie Qi’s eyes were wet, like a sad little puppy, "That is not the same at all, how can it be?"

Yun Chuyou looked at him calmly and softly, "It is indeed not the same, but I want to say, there are some things that you can’t stop liking, just like that."

"Chuyou, you are really cheating!" Xie Qi got angry; she was taking advantage of the fact that he liked her and he could do nothing about it.

Yun Chuyou laughed lightly, "What kind of cheating is this?"

Xie Qi turned his face away, "I know, I am not important to you at all."

Yun Chuyou’s finger touched the golden crown Xie Qi used to tie his hair, and with a gentle pull, the dazzling golden crown came into her palm.

Yun Chuyou carefully placed the golden crown on the nearby dressing table; without the crown in his hair, Xie Qi’s long silver hair fell down.

Unlike the white hair of those who grow old and turn gray, Xie Fuzhi’s hair was silver in the literal sense, like finely polished snowflake silver from skilled craftsmen, shining with a brilliance similar to her black hair, and Xie Qi’s hair felt even nicer to the touch.

This kind of touch made Yun Chuyou think of Xie Fuzhi’s beautiful and brilliant feathers when he was in his true form, very soft and delicate.

She became curious and casually grabbed a handful of the young man’s hair. His smooth, silky silver hair flowed like a stream of moonlight from her palm.

The girl’s slender fingers twirled around the long hair. As the tips fell down, they curled at the ends, and the strands wrapped around her fingers like ropes made of silver, tightly binding them.

"Chuyou…"

Xie Qi was even sadder than before, "Even if… even if that’s the case, I still disagree. You must find a way on your own; I won’t help you."

Yun Chuyou had a hold over him, but he cherished her initiative to be close, so Xie Qi chose to tightly shut his mouth and simply leaned against Yun Chuyou, like a delicate doll that could be moved at will.

The beautiful doll finally let out an unbearable soft sigh under the touch of a human. They had not been close many times before, so being so intimately cuddled together, with his hair being played with, made his overly sensitive body easily stirred with emotions.

The national teacher, who should have been a sacred being, but at this moment, even if Xie Qi chanted calming spells, he could not extinguish the flame that ignited within him.

The corners of his eyes glistened with a hint of red, and his expression was both embarrassed and longing, despising himself for his wanderings.

How can it be this way? How can it be so unclean and impure? He stubbornly acts like a clam, not letting bad women pry open his hard shell, revealing that he is just tough on the outside, but soft on the inside, and if squeezed, he would spit out a clear stream of water.

Yun Chuyou is not a simple girl who knows nothing; she has noticed Xie Qi’s feelings. Perhaps it is because of the outside world’s influence over time, or perhaps it is because they are already a married couple at this moment.

"Husband, what do you think I am? How could I play tricks with you about this? I am doing this simply because I want to," Yun Chuyou said softly. "I still remember that we are already a married couple."

She did not stop as she usually would; instead, she pulled over a beautiful quilt and covered Xie Qi’s face, hiding his body.

The secret realm does not reveal the private details of a cultivator’s trials; it only shows important life choices to fully protect the trial-taker’s privacy. After all, the flow of time differs; in the illusion, it may show that several decades have passed, while only a few days have gone by in the outside world.

However, the illusion had malfunctioned, and her own screen was still playing. What if, what if the illusion acted up in another way? Yun Chuyou could not accept that possibility.

She took the large luminous pearl embedded in the bed canopy and held it in her hands. She lifted a corner of the quilt and crawled in with it.

The light of the luminous pearl illuminated the silver-haired beauty in the quilt, giving her a dreamy and ethereal beauty.

In front of those cultivators, she indeed appeared very calm, but that was only on the surface; it would be impossible to say that her heart had no waves at all.

She is not the main character in this popular story, without any special hero glow. She isn’t even an important villain but just an outsider. Without any glow, she can be killed just like that.

With so many lively faces passing away in front of her, Yun Chuyou does not have much confidence that she can survive.

Moreover, the story has changed a lot because of her arrival. Who knows if fate will want to push the story back on its original track and create a life-and-death crisis for her?

Yun Chuyou must admit that she is just an ordinary person, and a cowardly one at that. Even though she has lived for a long time, she still fears the day when death will come.

Entering the palace is a very risky decision, but she cannot avoid it. The longer she waits, the more dangerous it will become, rising sharply.

If she just dies like this, it would be a great loss, so Yun Chuyou decides to do something very important—before going on another adventure, she will first eat the precious meat of her master.

The phoenix meat, being the flesh of an ancient great monster, tastes incredibly special and cannot be compared to ordinary food.

This was undoubtedly a very satisfying meal, a delight difficult to put into words. It was similar to some exaggerated food shows Yun Chuyou had seen, which could leave one dazzled and enchanted.

As both the cook and the fierce eater, Yun Chuyou definitely ate until she was full.

Just like a person who has eaten too much, she could hardly move now, even more seriously than someone who has just overeaten. Yun Chuyou’s body had become soft and she didn’t have even the slightest strength to lift her fingertips.

The other person, however, was the complete opposite of her; his face changed from its earlier cold and serene look to an alluring and vibrant one, making it impossible for anyone to mistake his true nature.

He was truly a great demon, and beneath his beautiful appearance lay great danger. Xie Fuzhi’s eyes sparkled with a lively charm, and joy radiated from the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.

"Chuyou… Chuyou…"

He lowered his graceful neck, like a swan, and gently kissed the soft cheek of the woman in his arms with greedy tenderness.

Xie Fuzhi’s voice was filled with joy as he lovingly called out Yun Chuyou’s name over and over again, pure happiness flowing through his veins and bones.

In truth, this was not the right moment, at least not like the scene he had imagined. But he couldn’t blame himself; Chuyou knew very well that he was from the demon race, and the demon race was like this, unable to resist the intentional temptation of the one they loved.

Indeed, Xie Fuzhi had regained all his memories; after all, how could he be in a state of forgetfulness at such a time? He must be the complete Xie Fuzhi.

Yun Chuyou scolded, "That’s enough."

Xie Fuzhi said with a sad face, "Chuyou, you can’t take everything and not admit it."

He knew that after guarding his innocence for many years, he couldn’t give it away so easily. The bad woman was still sweet-talking him before, but now she found him bothersome.

Yun Chuyou said weakly, "I didn’t say I wouldn’t admit it, I just think you’re noisy."

She really wanted to have a good, deep sleep, but when she closed her eyes, a voice kept calling her name, making it impossible for her to fall asleep.

Xie Fuzhi immediately made a gesture as if sealing his mouth, saying, "Then I won’t make noise; you should rest well."

He wanted to help Yun Chuyou with a massage, but when his fingers touched her delicate, smooth skin, a fire instantly swept through his whole body.

Xie Fuzhi had to pull back his hand, using his spiritual power to massage Yun Chuyou from a distance, which felt quite luxurious.

The plan changed because of Yun Chuyou’s sudden impulse, and the thunder began to brew in the sky above the National Teacher’s residence.

Yun Chuyou felt her body was working hard to digest the excessive Spirit Qi. She originally was at the primordial stage of the Nascent Soul, but after eating nourishing foods, her cultivation rapidly increased, soaring to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, then to the late stage of the Nascent Soul, and even reaching the perfect state of the Nascent Soul.

She did not practice any skills of the Hehuan Sect, but the phoenix quickly used a special technique to protect its partner, preventing her from dying.

Yun Chuyou didn’t let Xie Fuzhi disturb her not only because she found him noisy but also because she felt unwell; her power was increasing too quickly, and she was completely still, like she was in a daze.

As the power within her was slowly being absorbed, Yun Chuyou could not stop her growth in strength.

Xie Fuzhi’s perfect Astral Projection Stage was indeed a lie; after eating phoenix meat for thirty thousand years, she now had to face the Thunder Calamity of the Astral Projection Stage.
