Fair.
An Zhen paid the price of enduring thirty minutes of "humiliation" while Xu Tianzhen wantonly "ravaged" him, in exchange for a small favor from Her Majesty the Empress: permission to kiss her. Xu Tianzhen thus gained thirty minutes to bully An Zhen and relax.
Everyone paid a price and got what they wanted.
"You said it, through your clothes and my socks."
Xu Tianzhen emphasized in a cute yet fierce tone, "I don't want to get a sty."
"Of course." An Zhen nodded gently.
Significant progress has been made today.
There were already conflicts between the two, so this matter had to be addressed step by step.
Yesterday it was a hug, today it's a kiss, tomorrow it'll be a nuzzle... cough cough, let's be honest.
Let Xu Tianzhen accept it gradually.
An Zhen isn't as eager now. Whether it's An Qiuer in the bedroom, Xu Tianzhen here, or Ye Guyi, the student he just took on, he wants to take it one step at a time and savor the beauty of young girls.
"Hmm." After a while, under An Zhen's insistence, Xu Tianzhen reluctantly took out white socks and put them on her delicate feet.
The texture is soft and supple, with a fleshy feel.
"Let's begin." An Zhen grasped the girl's slender ankle.
He will lead us through it first.
Then let her start on her own and get moving.
"A little higher up, don't focus on one place."
Teacher An Zhen is giving a lesson.
It's very easy to get started.
From there on, it depends on practice and talent.
Dong'er is very good at this.
"I'll crush you, I'll crush you..." Xu Tianzhen murmured softly.
A strange sensation came from the soles of my feet.
Mingdu is a stepping stone.
But this time it was extremely shameful.
The girl's mind wandered.
This time it was her feet.
In the future, if this guy ever loses his beastly nature one day, well, well… that would be…
Xu Tianzhen couldn't help but recall the illustrations used in the royal family's education in this area.
Hmm, she'll break!
An Zhen had no idea what Xu Tianzhen was thinking, and his dark eyes gazed at the girl who was working hard.
My movements felt a bit off, after all, it was my first time.
It makes people feel very happy on a spiritual level.
But he always felt like something was missing.
Oh, right!
An Zhen reached out his hand.
Spiritual power drew an item from the living room into An Zhen's hands: a bright yellow robe.
"What are you doing?" Xu Tianzhen asked, puzzled.
What are you going to do with the yellow robe?
"It's a bit cold, let's put on another robe for Your Majesty." An Zhen smiled and draped the yellow robe over Xu Tianzhen, adding a touch of imperial majesty to her lovely girlish charm.
Perfect!
"You bad guy!" Xu Tianzhen pouted.
What's so cold about it?
Although the spirit power within her body was still evolving, even ordinary low temperatures wouldn't cause her discomfort, despite her body having benefited from numerous rare and precious herbs. Moreover, with the help of a home spirit tool, the room temperature was already extremely comfortable for the human body.
This guy clearly wants her to wear a yellow robe and do this kind of thing for him.
I'll stomp you to death!
...
I felt a warmth spreading to the soles of my feet.
"Get out! Get out of here!"
Like a startled deer, Xu Tianzhen quickly withdrew her foot, and a ball of fiery red flame appeared, directly burning the pair of white socks on her foot.
A tempting blush appeared on her fair cheeks, and her small hands pushed against An Zhen's chest.
"Among the previous conditions, there was also the condition that I could hold Your Majesty while you sleep," An Zhen said with a smile. His tall and straight body was like a mountain that had been tempered by time, and no matter how hard Xu Tianzhen exerted himself, he did not show any sign of leaning backward.
"Hold me while I sleep?" Xu Tianzhen was taken aback.
Then she realized, "But I just did that kind of thing to you."
"Besides kissing, Your Majesty is also allowed to hold you while you sleep; Your Majesty has not refused this condition," An Zhen explained.
"You!" Xu Tianzhen gritted his teeth.
"This isn't something we need every day," An Zhen said, backing down.
Even if I wanted to, I couldn't do it every day.
Although he had few girlfriends in the Sun Moon Empire.
But they still exist.
Even if Xu Tianzhen agrees, An Qiuer and Meng Hongchen will not.
"Fine, I'll hug you!" Xu Tianzhen's tone was more urgent.
It's no big deal.
It's already come to this.
This guy saw me naked.
Kiss.
She even did that kind of thing for him.
"Anyway, you'd better get out now and don't come into my room until I've finished cleaning."
"Alright." An Zhen turned around.
Clean up the Virtual World.
Then go feed the dragon.
Enjoying the fun of being a dragon knight.
I checked on Ye Guyi's situation.
"My teacher's wife takes good care of her students." Ye Guyi said with a faint smile.
The master is very good.
The teacher's wife was very hospitable. She even took her to her room to take a shower and gave her a lot of things, including pajamas and other women's personal items, all of much better quality than what she had brought.
She felt somewhat flattered.
Ye Guyi is happy to have met such a wonderful teacher and his wife.
But I'm worried, not knowing how to repay them.
"It's getting late, you should get some rest." While inside the palace, An Zhen retrieved Ye Guyi's registration information at the city gate. During their time together, Ye Guyi occasionally revealed a very subtle hint of fatigue.
"Take a day off tomorrow to absorb Spirit Bone, and then we'll officially start teaching the day after tomorrow."
"Yes." Ye Guyi nodded.
An Zhen returns.
As I passed by a door.
A pair of fair, jade-like arms reached out and pulled An Zhen inside.
Time passed second by second.
An Zhen finally returned to his house in the early hours of the morning.
He looked energetic, as if he had just experienced a thrilling battle.
"It seems a bit late." An Zhen looked at the soul-guided clock hanging on the wall.
Knowing he couldn't sleep with An Zhen tonight, Meng Hongchen's temper flared up. Although he possessed a pride no less than his older brother Laughing Hongchen, Meng Hongchen was usually quiet and unassuming. But on this matter concerning An Zhen, his attitude was more resolute than ever before.
It took An Zhen a little longer to satisfy Meng Hongchen's little grievances.
Spirit Detection.
'Aren't you resting yet?'
An Zhen noticed the commotion in Xu Tianzhen's bedroom.
One shot, and the world is at stake.
In the pitch-black night, An Zhen's figure quietly appeared beside a princess bed.
On the large bed, a small figure was curled up in the quilt.
"Your Majesty," An Zhen said.
Because of the sudden sound, Xu Tianzhen's delicate body, which was turned away from An Zhen, trembled slightly. An Zhen, with his strong mental fortitude, clearly sensed the tension in the girl's body.
Xu Tianzhen made no move.
"I'm coming in."
An Zhen gently lifted a corner of the blanket.
She changed into a clean short-sleeved shirt and shorts.
Snuggling into a warm bed.
In the darkness, An Zhen, whose vision was completely unaffected, saw a bright yellow light.
"Isn't Your Majesty hot wearing so much?"
Why is Little Tianzhen wearing a yellow robe too?
Are you that afraid of me?
"None of your business!" Xu Tianzhen retorted, her clear voice trembling slightly with nervousness, her back to An Zhen.
Although it's easy to say something like this, all you have to do is open your mouth.
But when it came to actually doing it, Xu Tianzhen felt nervous all the time.
"Then let's go to sleep."
An Zhen scooted closer to Xu Tianzhen.
A pair of hands gently embraced her trembling, slender waist.
An Zhen held the small figure of the girl in his arms.
"Your Majesty, rest assured," An Zhen's gentle voice rang out. "Just as I said at the hotel, I will not take that step before obtaining Little Tianzhen's permission."
Xu Tianzhen remained silent.
An Zhen closed his eyes. "Tonight, I'm really just going to sleep."
Sleeping in each other's arms is a very important stage in a relationship.
Sixth-tier magic, hypnotic spell.
A talent that can amaze even the Necromancer God Electrolux is no ordinary talent.
A peculiar mental fluctuation appeared in the air.
Originally, it was magic that put someone to sleep and then manipulate their body. However, with low power and slight fluctuations, only the weakened first half of the effect is achieved, providing only a slight sleep-inducing effect.
Xu Tianzhen suddenly felt an overwhelming drowsiness. His eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and before he knew it, he had drifted off to sleep.
"I feel like if this keeps up, you could lie there with your eyes open all night," An Zhen said helplessly. He really didn't have any other bad thoughts at the moment.
Reaching out, An Zhen gently removed the girl's dragon robe, revealing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts underneath. He then turned Xu Tianzhen over so that she was facing him, and held the girl in his arms.
"Mother." A murmur suddenly rang out, coming from Xu Tianzhen in An Zhen's arms. A pair of slender arms tightly hugged An Zhen, as if afraid that she would disappear.
"It's better to relax a bit."
Looking at the petite girl in his arms, An Zhen's eyes filled with pity. Sudden misfortune had turned him into a puppet, stripping him of his freedom. Such a dramatic fall from grace was indeed a heavy burden for a once carefree little princess.
Nothing was said that night.
The next morning.
The environmental mimicry system adjusts the brightness of the room according to the time.
"Hmm~"
A lazy voice rang out.
A small hand reached out from under the covers and rubbed its sleepy eyes.
Xu Tianzhen felt so comfortable.
I haven't had such a good night's sleep in a long time.
My whole body relaxed, as if I had returned to that carefree time in the past.
The little head rubbed against the pillow.
The pillow feels especially high-quality today.
?
!
wrong!
Xu Tianzhen abruptly lifted her head to look at where she had just been lying. It wasn't a pillow at all, but An Zhen's chest. And she was now lying on top of him.
"Why?!"
What... What's going on?
Did she do it?
No, her sleeping posture isn't that bad. It must have been this rascal who did it while she was asleep.
"Your Majesty is holding me so tightly." An Zhen opened his sleepy eyes, picked up the girl who had gotten up, and pulled her back into his arms. A faint smile appeared on his lips. "You're practically clinging to me."
"You...I, I didn't." Xu Tianzhen's cheeks flushed red.
How could she possibly do such a thing to that bad person?
"How heartless," An Zhen sighed. "When His Majesty slept in my arms, he was so relaxed, his expression so calm, and even a little happy."
"That's not true at all," Xu Tianzhen retorted.
Pushing against An Zhen's chest with both hands, she said, "Let go, I want to get up."
"Perhaps His Majesty has already accepted me." An Zhen released Xu Tianzhen, but continued talking to himself.
"Hmph! Nonsense." Xu Tianzhen walked to the bedside and looked for his shoes.
"Then why did His Majesty fall asleep in my arms without any precautions? Can't a Spirit Master stay up all night? And doesn't it feel like you slept even more soundly than when you slept here alone before?" An Zhen said.
Xu Tianzhen's figure suddenly froze.
She was indeed asleep.
She slept very well.
But why?
She was clearly trying to prevent this guy from doing anything bad.
Logically, this shouldn't be the case.
"This is the power of love," An Zhen said slowly, as if he had been there before.
Love yarn, it's the power of magic!
After getting up, An Zhen went to find Qiu'er and Zi Ji for morning exercise.
A new day begins.
Go to morning.
Inside the Sun Moon Imperial Palace.
Continuing with yesterday's unfinished business, concerning Holy Spirit Church.
"I am bored."
As Kong Deming recounted the battle results in the main hall, a voice suddenly rang out from the high platform. Beside the throne, a table and chairs almost identical to those of the emperor had been added, and the voice originated from there. An Zhen sat quietly, seemingly listening intently, while a dazzlingly beautiful figure lay listlessly on the table. A tall, purple-haired figure stood silently behind them, serving as their protector.
"Didn't you want to come?" An Zhen gently stroked An Qiuer's little head.
After her morning exercise this morning, An Qiuer suddenly expressed interest in the Empire court of the human world. An Zhen, naturally eager to fulfill his daughter's expectations, took An Qiuer and Zi Ji out with him.
"Hmm." An Qiuer buried her head in An Zhen's arms. She felt that this place was not as interesting as described in the comics. It was just a group of white-haired old men reporting on various things.
"Sweetie. I'll take you out to play later." An Zhen gently rubbed An Qiuer's little head.
"Mmm." An Qiuer squinted her eyes happily. She didn't care where they went; as long as she was with her uncle, she felt comfortable.
Kong Deming continued talking about national affairs.
The courtiers seemed oblivious to the couple who appeared to be flirting.
"Besides the Imperial Advisor's list," An Zhen's voice suddenly rang out, "I have another list here."
As he spoke, An Zhen tossed a scroll covered with names to Kong Deming.
"These are some Titled Douluo and Spirit Douluo from Holy Spirit Church. These days, they enjoy the same treatment as Leaf Evening Water," An Zhen said. These were the ones Electrolux had slaughtered; An Zhen had picked out some important ones to record.
'Eight Titled Douluo.' Kong Deming glanced at the top of the list. No wonder he only found six Titled Douluo; he had assumed the others had run away after hearing that his two Limit Douluo had died. What loyalty could a bunch of unscrupulous Evil Soul Masters possibly have? But it turned out something had already happened.
The list was circulated and viewed.
The main hall fell silent for a moment.
The courtiers were somewhat puzzled as to when His Highness had done this.
Kong Deming thought of Limit Douluo, who had been hiding at the time and was suspected of being able to use spatial powers.
"No need to hide it, publish the list and show our national prestige." This gives me a boost of faith.
"The investigation into the Evil Soul Master is largely coming to an end, but the remaining investigation must continue. We cannot be careless and must prevent it from resurfacing. All aspects of the work, such as collecting children who have awakened evil spirits for intensive training and establishing special academies, must be implemented effectively."
"What does Your Majesty think?" An Zhen looked at the figure sitting on the throne.
No response.
"His Majesty!"
"Oh." Seemingly lost in thought, just coming back to his senses, Xu Tianzhen said in a deliberately solemn voice, "As you say, my dear minister."
