The wedding chamber, the lights went out, and only the fla of a single candle flickered.
Xiao Ye had a smile playing at the corner of his mouth,
and he lifted the red veil from the white-haired maiden who was sitting so prettily at the edge of the bed.
Her long, silvery-white hair had been styled into twin ponytails, and her delicate, fair face was flush with shyness, but her beautiful eyes still sparkled with playful spirit.
She threw herself into Xiao Ye’s arms, lifted her delicate chin, and exclaid,
"Xiao Ye, you actually ca looking for first, you really are too good to ."
Xiao Ye gently held Huangfu Xiangling in his arms.
The way she stood was elegant and poised, just budding into womanhood like a tender shoot peeking out from the earth.
He could sense Huangfu Xiangling’s excitent and joy, and said softly with a laugh,
"Bai Mao, were you hoping I’d go look for the Ancestral Empress instead?"
Huangfu Xiangling shook her head, her airy, silvery-white twin ponytails swaying, filling the air with the intoxicating scent unique to girls.
She let out a girlish huff, pouted, and said,
"You wouldn’t dare!"
"Now that you’re here with , don’t even think about leaving this room tonight!"
"I declare that you, Xiao Ye, belong to , Huangfu Xiangling, tonight."
Xiao Ye chuckled and said, "What if I insist on leaving?"
Huangfu Xiangling’s eyes went wide, blinking rapidly, and she hugged him tight, stubbornly saying,
"I won’t allow you to leave."
"Anything the Ancestral Empress can do for you, Bai Mao can do just as well. And what she can’t, Bai Mao can do even better."
"I’ve got twin ponytails. Does the Ancestral Empress have those?"
"Last ti, you wanted to hold my ponytails and go wild, but I didn’t let you. But this ti, I’ll let you!"
"Gulp!" Xiao Ye swallowed hard and grabbed hold of her twin ponytails, testing their flexibility.
He was surprised to find the white-haired maiden’s pink cheeks blossoming red in an instant, her face turned bashful, but in her eyes, delight was blooming.
"Aha, I knew you were a little pervert who likes this kind of thing."
"Well, how about it, can you really bring yourself to leave now?"
Seeing Bai Mao all smug like that, Xiao Ye really didn’t want to leave.
*But was she really getting so cocky because she thought she had him wrapped around her finger?*
Xiao Ye’s gaze road over the white-haired maiden’s sowhat graceful figure, the corners of his mouth curling as he said,
"Xiangling, there are still so things that you can’t quite compare to the Ancestral Empress."
"So things she can do for , you can’t."
"Maybe I really should go find the Ancestral Empress instead."
The white-haired maiden glanced down at her own pink little toes.
She let out a howl, glaring, and said fiercely,
"Xiao Ye, you’re the worst, making fun of my flaws like that."
"I’m going to stuff my foot in your mouth."
"Bang!" The white-haired maiden kicked up her foot in protest, but Xiao Ye’s big hand caught it and he began to rub it gently.
Xiao Ye let out a surge of King’s Aura, and declared,
"Really now, you want to give athlete’s foot?"
"Let’s see how I punish you."
Xiao Ye tossed the white-haired maiden onto the soft couch, gave a shimr of his Power of Space, shredded their clothes clean, grabbed those ponytails like steering wheels, and started tearing down the highway.
...
Third floor.
The Ancestral Empress had been waiting anxiously for two hours, but Xiao Ye never showed up.
*Her mood dulled, she felt deflated, the light in her eyes faded away.*
*Am I really so low in the Human Emperor’s heart?*
*Amidst all these beast girls, I’m probably ranked dead last, aren’t I?*
*Sigh, what good is being Empress? I married the Human Emperor, and still can’t get his attention when I want it. I don’t even get to cut in line.*
Just as the Ancestral Empress’s thoughts were running wild,
the candle fla in her chamber suddenly went out.
She suddenly felt two rough hands clasp her from behind, and the unique masculine scent closed in on her.
It was the Human Emperor!
This unique scent, only the Human Emperor could have!
"Emperor, you finally ca."
"Don’t say a word, I snuck in. Xiangling’s already asleep."
"Mmph mmph mmph!"
(Two thousand words omitted...)
In the middle of the night, Huangfu Xiangling suddenly woke up, feeling the emptiness at her side. Her little hand searched the bedding, but she didn’t find a trace of Xiao Ye.
*A wave of disappointnt welled up inside Huangfu Xiangling.*
*So Xiao Ye left after all.*
*He promised tonight would belong to her...*
*Well, you can’t be too greedy. If he left, he left.*
*At least he waited until she was asleep to go. That was considerate enough.*
Right then, an exceptionally handso young man walked out of the bathroom, a faint smile on his face, and said,
"Xiangling, was I too noisy in the restroom? Did I wake you up?"
Huangfu Xiangling’s eyes went wide in disbelief, "You didn’t leave?"
Xiao Ye nodded and replied, "What else would I do?"
"Did you want to leave?"
Huangfu Xiangling leapt up and clung to Xiao Ye, exclaiming, "Of course not!"
"You’re mine tonight, and you’ll be the Ancestral Empress’s tomorrow."
"I’m fair. I won’t keep you to myself all the ti."
Xiao Ye gave her butt a playful pat.
*This Bai Mao had gone her whole life starved for love. Now that he’d beco her husband, he owed her all the love he could give.*
*So things, it was probably ti to deal with.*
He asked,
"Xiangling, how do you feel about the Huangfu Clan?"
The mont he ntioned the Huangfu Clan, it was like a nerve had been struck. The white-haired maiden’s face instantly turned pale, her eyes flooding with panic, her little hands clinging tightly to Xiao Ye.
Her voice trembled as she stamred,
"D-don’t ntion that family, okay?"
"I have nothing to do with that family anymore. I’ll never go back to find my birth relatives."
"I, Bai Mao, only have my Master. No parents, no family!"
Xiao Ye furrowed his brows in a deep frown shaped like the character ’chuan.’
*Looks like the shadow the Huangfu Clan cast on Bai Mao’s childhood was still haunting her.*
*She must have gone through hell growing up...*
*Even with all the care and attention Ziran gave her, she still couldn’t escape the scars left over from those early years.*
*Even though Bai Mao had now reached the Sovereign Realm, that shadow still lingered, stubborn and heavy in the depths of her heart.*
He had already received secret transmissions from the Ti Empress and Mu Qingxue,
telling him that the entire Imperial Race had been rounded up—especially Patriarch Huangfu Tian and the young master Huangfu Dun—who were now locked up in the prison at Wilderness Base City.
The next day, the darkness in Huangfu Xiangling’s heart would have to be confronted—so she could finally live a happier life.
Xiao Ye said softly,
"Xiangling, you’re already my wife now. Don’t worry about the past, the future is ours to write."
Those words struck her soul like the most heavenly music, and the fear lted from Huangfu Xiangling’s eyes, replaced with excitent and happiness.
She nuzzled her delicate face into Xiao Ye’s chest and replied sweetly,
"That’s right, everything from back then is ancient history—so far away now. I have my Master and my husband, and a big group of sisters who all care about . I’m really happy."
"Xiao Ye, I’m pretty much all recovered. Can you love one more ti?"
Xiao Ye laughed, "Of course I can."
The white-haired maiden’s eyes lit up, "Then co on!"
An hour later, as he watched Bai Mao sleep soundly beside him, Xiao Ye sensed the Ancestral Empress was awake upstairs.
Xiao Ye flashed up to the next floor and slipped into the bathroom.
After clearing away his scent, Xiao Ye left the bathroom and smiled at the disappointed Ancestral Empress,
"What, you woke up just because I went to the bathroom?"
The Ancestral Empress eyed him suspiciously, "You really only went to the bathroom?"
Xiao Ye shrugged, "What else would I do?"
The Ancestral Empress broke into a smile, exclaiming, "Emperor, stay with tonight, I want to fall asleep holding you."
Xiao Ye nodded, stepped closer, and hugged the soft and fragrant Ancestral Empress as they fell asleep together.
He silently gave himself a thumbs-up.
Ti managent master!
