"I’m not going there to seduce him," Huang Bai Xing’s eyes narrowed.
"In fact, I planned to return to Earth and I need to cooperate with him," she continued.
"I thought you’re in a relationship with him," Shenlian Yingyue said, totally unaware of this plot twist.
"Relationship?" Huang Bai Xing thought back to the past.
She t Ji Fulin at an exhibition pavilion where people showcased their artworks. A piece of antiques caught her eye and his at the sa ti, for no other reason than that it was from Earth.
As they got to know each other better, they discovered that they were from different eras, but their shared interest in the antique brought them closer. However, they had never had a romantic relationship.
"That night, I visited him to clarify why he suddenly married Di Xiuyu," Huang Bai Xing crossed her hands on her chest and sat in a crossed-leg posture.
It turned out he just wanted to use Di Xiuyu’s power.
"You ntioned that piece of antique caught your both’s eyes. Where is that antique now?" Shenlian Yingyue asked, surprised.
"Fulin tried to bid for it, but failed. I did a little trick and we managed to acquire it. The antique is now with him," Huang Bai Xing said matter-of-factly.
She was capable of achieving anything she set her mind to.
"Are you planning to return to the 25th era? What about your family here?" Shenlian Yingyue was puzzled.
"I won’t be staying there forever. I just need to see soone," Huang Bai Xing’s expression turned slightly lancholic as she thought about the impossible between her and that person.
However, all she wanted was to see him. It was enough to see him once again.
Shenlian Yingyue carefully scrutinized Huang Bai Xing’s face.
"Speaking of which, how can you escape Emperor Ji’s grasp?" Huang Bai Xing changed the subject.
"It’s a long story. Do you know his identity?" Shenlian Yingyue responded, stuffing a soft cake into her mouth.
This shop was owned by Huang Bai Xing, who had brought in a variety of modern-era delicacies, including food, drinks, and snacks that were all delicious.
However, Shenlian Yingyue had never seen or tasted anything like this before, as Huang Bai Xing was from the future world.
"I don’t know, but he gives an unsettling feeling," Huang Bai Xing said, tasting the soft berry cake and nodding in approval. "You shouldn’t provoke him."
Her subordinates had beco increasingly competent under her leadership.
"Do you think I’m free enough to provoke that person?" Shenlian Yingyue asked, speechless, as she took a sip of the bitter tea.
Drinking the bitter matcha tea after eating the sweet cake refreshed her throat and gave her another sensation.
"Where did you get the matcha plants from?" Shenlian Yingyue suddenly asked.
"I obtained them from the Sunset Mountain in the Outer Domain," Huang Bai Xing replied, tossing a bag of matcha seeds to Shenlian Yingyue.
"Thank you!" Shenlian Yingyue’s eyes sparkled with gratitude.
"It’s I who should be thanking you," Huang Bai Xing said seriously, her tone slightly cold but her eyes overflowing with deep gratitude. "You helped and my family reunite and saved my father and our family."
Shenlian Yingyue waved her hand dismissively. "I’m from the Huang family too."
Huang Bai Xing raised her lips with a vague smile.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. "Knock, knock!"
"Why is he here?" Shenlian Yingyue asked.
"You’ll know soon enough," Huang Bai Xing responded mysteriously.
The slightly mature and charming man appeared at the door, dressed in a flawless blue robe. Ji Fulin looked fresh today, his face beaming with good health.
"A newly married couple, looking at the spring on your face... did you sleep with that hoe?" Huang Bai Xing’s tongue lashed out with venomous words, beginning to grow more acidic.
She truly detested Di Xiuyu with an intensity that bordered on hatred. Di Xiuyu had the ability to confront her face-to-face but chose to manipulate everything behind the scenes.
Huang Bai Xing loathed such scheming behavior and hated Di Xiuyu with every fiber of her being.
"Don’t ntion her!" Ji Fulin’s smiling face turned dark and stern.
He sat down next to Huang Bai Xing and the two acted like old friends, their camaraderie genuine.
"I know it," Ji Fulin said to Shenlian Yingyue. "With your abilities, you can escape my imperial father’s claws."
"Don’t be angry that I didn’t visit you during your ti in prison," Ji Fulin said, his tone tinged with gloom. "I was locked in the sa room with Di Xiuyu by my imperial father and mother. What could I do?"
Shenlian Yingyue raised an eyebrow. "Who said I’m mad?"
Ji Fulin’s face lit up like a begonia flower in bloom. "I’m here to tell you, I got the Astral Key. We can go to the modern era anyti!"
Huang Bai Xing’s eyes widened in surprise. "Are you serious?"
Ji Fulin grinned. "We can go now!"
He stood up to grab Shenlian Yingyue’s wrist, but she dodged his touch. "Stop! I can’t."
"Why? Are you going back on your words?" Ji Fulin asked, his voice laced with frustration.
"I have to deal with a matter here first," Shenlian Yingyue replied, shaking her head. "Give so ti."
"What matter?" Ji Fulin asked, his impatience growing. "Tell , and I’ll take care of it for you."
Shenlian Yingyue rubbed her forehead, looking troubled. "You speak to him, I’m going out."
When she returned from taking a walk outside, a person appeared before her.
"Hi!" Dongfang Moqing greeted her with a smile.
"It’s been a long ti," Shenlian Yingyue replied, smiling back.
He suddenly left the Inner Domain last ti, saying he’d visit her when she arrived at the Superior Domain.
Dongfang Moqing apologized stiffly for his delayed visit. His golden and indigo eyes seed darker than usual.
"I’m sorry for keeping you waiting," he said. "It’s been over a year."
He had been summoned back to his clan by his father to deal with a betrayal, and only now had he returned to this Yellow Planet to visit her.
"I realized that I missed you a little bit," he admitted, his voice low.
Mr. Potato: Just a little bit?
"I understand your struggles, please don’t apologize. I’m not a child anymore," she said, smiling faintly. She tuned out his words of longing for her.
The man’s long, golden hair was striking under the dim light, highlighting his attractive features.
The sound of the rain outside the tea house was like a soothing lody that serenaded the patrons.
"How have you been doing these past months? Did anyone bully you?" he asked, his tone slightly weighted with concern.
"The journey of life is never without its ups and downs, can it?" she replied, smiling wistfully as she extended her hand to touch the white lily bathed in the raindrops.
