Chapter 714 - 688: An Invitation from Empress Xie
The exquisite Empress Consort seemed reluctant, completely passive, but in truth, she was deeply yearning inside.
Ever since being nourished by Sun Zhe’s Pure Yang True Qi, having tasted the sweetness, she felt as if she had opened the door to a new world, thinking about "cultivation" all day long.
Dinner was simple, two dishes and a soup.
Sun Zhe savored the food, suddenly looked across the table at Xia Shiqing, "Why aren’t you eating?"
Xia Shiqing propped her chin with both hands, staring at him with doting eyes, "I’m fasting, not eating anything."
"Oh... got it."
Xia Shiqing said, "Actually, you could try fasting too."
Sun Zhe, with a face full of distress, shook his head and said, "Come on, I can’t do that. Plus, medical books say that people are born needing the nourishment of grains and food, not eating is like defying nature."
Xia Shiqing pouted, "Just eat your food, and stop lecturing me."
"Alright!"
Sun Zhe picked up a piece of braised pork, looked at her meaningfully, "Want to eat too?"
Xia Shiqing was a bit impatient, "I already said I want to fast..."
Before she could finish, she saw Sun Zhe’s mischievous grin and instantly understood what he meant, her cheeks reddened.
"Do you have to play so perversely?"
Sun Zhe frowned, his tone pained, "I’m wounded, and you said you’d reward me."
"Keep pretending, I never said that."
Sun Zhe said, "You’re denying it now?"
Xia Shiqing sighed helplessly, "Alright, alright. It’s always you, who makes me feel so tender towards you."
As she spoke, she stood up and pushed the chair away, then crouched down and crawled under the table.
"I’m the Empress of Hua Country, and yet I’m doing this."
Thinking of the exquisite Empress Consort’s cherry-red lips, Sun Zhe couldn’t help but feel ecstatic in his heart, but he pretended nothing happened, continuing to eat his meal.
A little while later.
From under the table came the voice of the exquisite Empress Consort, full of disdain, "It stinks, so sour... didn’t you wash today?"
Sun Zhe’s eyes widened, "How is that possible? I washed before, really... ouch... be gentle!"
In mid-sentence, Sun Zhe suddenly furrowed his brow, couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath.
Then he lifted the hanging tablecloth, looked down, and saw the exquisite Empress Consort’s half-face buried in the lush surroundings, her starry eyes lightly closed, serious and focused, exuding an indescribable elegance.
"No wonder you’re the Empress Consort, even the way you nibble on chicken necks is graceful?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Shiqing pinched his thigh fiercely, those sharp, beautiful nails nearly piercing his skin.
A strange sound of "pop" was heard.
Xia Shiqing let go, stepped back, looked up at him with resentment, said softly, "Eat your food, don’t mind me."
"Oh, got it, keep going, Empress Consort."
"..."
One ate at the table, one under it.
This simple meal took more than half an hour to finish!
Not until Sun Zhe released his tension did Xia Shiqing climb out from under the table, cheeks puffed, looking at him full of resentment.
"Gulp..."
After swallowing it all down, she directly headed to the staircase.
"Go upstairs to the room."
Sun Zhe, knowing she couldn’t hold back, hurriedly pulled up his pants and followed her.
On the second floor of the villa.
In Xia Shiqing’s bedroom.
"Choose which one to wear, your choice."
Xia Shiqing opened the wardrobe, looking at Sun Zhe with a blank face, "Choose quickly, don’t dawdle."
"Is it that urgent?"
Sun Zhe grumbled, moved closer and took a look, his gaze suddenly landing on a black bodysuit.
The bodysuit was extremely thin, with a faint sheen, adorned with intricate patterns.
"What is this for? You wear this?"
With an expressionless face, Xia Shiqing answered slowly, "I wear it for missions, it’s warm and bulletproof on the inside."
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe grinned mischievously, his gaze falling on the zipper at the crotch of the bodysuit, adding, "Plus, the design’s convenient, one zip and it solves many problems."
Xia Shiqing’s cheeks flushed, but her expression remained blank, "Do you want me to wear this?"
"Why not?"
Xia Shiqing wanted to refuse, as it was a mission suit, but looking at the eager boy in front of her, she nodded in agreement.
No choice, she’s gotta spoil her little darling.
"Alright, tonight I’ll listen to whatever you say."
"..."
After a while.
The cold and elegant "Exquisite Spy" with a high ponytail was pinned against the balcony’s glass door by Sun Zhe.
The black bodysuit encasing the exquisite body, its zipper pulled all the way down, revealed stretches of snowy landscapes.
...
Late into the night, after eleven o’clock, only when both were exhausted did the battle conclude.
Xia Shiqing lazily rolled off the bed, dragging her weary body into the bathroom, feeling uncomfortable due to the stickiness there, so she wanted to wash.
Sun Zhe lay back on the bed, closing his eyes to rest, feeling an emptiness in his mind, entering a sage mode.
In the silence.
His phone suddenly rang.
Seeing his phone, he noticed Xie Yunwan was calling.
"Hey, Sister Yunwan, looking for me this late?"
Xie Yunwan said seriously, "Of course, urgent matters."
Sun Zhe’s heart sank, quickly asked, "What is it, tell me."
Xie Yunwan suddenly laughed coyly, "Of course, it’s because I miss you, you little devil. Isn’t that urgent?"
Sun Zhe laughed heartily, said, "Shame I’m in Kyoto, it’ll be a while before I return to Yang City."
"I know, that’s why I’m calling."
Sun Zhe frowned: "You didn’t also come to Kyoto, did you?"
Xie Yunwan said, "I’ll come for a concert, arriving tomorrow. Knowing you’re here, I wanted to see if we could meet up."
Thinking of Empress Xie’s unparalleled charm, Sun Zhe’s heart stirred, rejuvenated after being dealt with by Xia Shiqing.
"Of course, can do!"
"Alright then, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
Shortly thereafter.
After showering, Xia Shiqing stood by the bed, scrutinizing Sun Zhe, "Who was it? Look at you smiling so suggestively."
Sun Zhe replied honestly, "Xie Yunwan, you know her."
"Hmm... that celebrity?"
"Yes, that’s her."
Xia Shiqing chuckled, teased, "You’ve got some skills to land a big star like that."
Sun Zhe replied in a matter-of-fact tone, "Is that all? I’ve even got the Empress and Empress Consort..."
"Get lost!"
Xia Shiqing jumped on the bed with a kick, but didn’t actually hit Sun Zhe.
Sun Zhe chuckled, suddenly sat up and embraced her freshly clean and fragrant body, "By the way, I’m planning to rest a few days before heading to the underground arena, can you help me remove the Spiritual Pressure Treasure Ring?"
Xia Shiqing replied without hesitation, "Sure, you should rest for a few days."
