At the critical moment.
“Ah…”
Ye Qiu suddenly let out a loud cry, startling the little white fox considerably.
“It is me who is in pain. Why are you crying out?”
The little white fox frowned slightly. However, in the next moment, Ye Qiu clutched his head with both hands, his face contorted in agony.
“What is wrong?” The little white fox sensed something amiss.
“My primordial spirit hurts so much…” Before Ye Qiu could finish his words, his eyelids fluttered, and he passed out.
“This… it ended before it even began?”
The little white fox was dumbfounded. She quickly scooped Ye Qiu into her arms and examined him closely, filled with deep regret.
“It is all my fault.”
“I thought that since his physical body is comparable to that of a saint, he could be with me. But I overlooked that his primordial spirit is too weak.”
“Fortunately, it had only just begun. Otherwise, I would have killed him.”
Thinking of this, the little white fox looked at Ye Qiu in her arms. Tears slid from the corners of her eyes, her face full of guilt.
“I am sorry, Changsheng. It is all my fault. Woo woo woo…”
The little white fox cried for a while, then flew up and gently placed Ye Qiu on the enormous spiritual bed. She pressed one hand against his forehead, pouring vast true qi into him.
A moment later.
Ye Qiu slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was the little white fox with tears streaming down her face like pear blossoms in rain.
“How are you? Do you feel any better?” the little white fox asked with concern.
“I am fine…” Before Ye Qiu could finish, the little white fox began sobbing quietly. While crying, she apologised, “Changsheng, I am sorry. It is all my fault. I almost harmed you. Boo hoo hoo…”
“Stop crying.” Ye Qiu sat up, pulled the little white fox into his embrace, wiped away her tears, and asked, “What happened just now?”
“Why did I feel as though my primordial spirit was about to explode, and then I fainted?”
The little white fox explained, “Although your physique is extraordinarily strong, your realm is too low. Therefore, your primordial spirit could not withstand me…”
At this point, her voice grew softer. Blushing, she said, “I am sorry. It was my oversight. I almost killed you.”
“I am already fine now. You do not need to feel guilty.” Ye Qiu looked at the little white fox and asked, “Are you very disappointed?”
“Not really. It is just that I finally took the initiative once, yet it ended like this. I…” Before the little white fox could finish, her lips were sealed by Ye Qiu’s.
“Mmm mmm… Changsheng, you need to rest now. Do not…” the little white fox mumbled unclearly.
Ye Qiu paid no heed and let his hands roam freely.
Soon, the little white fox melted like a puddle, collapsing into Ye Qiu’s arms, allowing him to misbehave.
Ye Qiu had now cast aside all reservations. The only regret was that he still could not fully claim the little white fox.
After quite some time.
Only then did Ye Qiu stop.
“Changsheng, you are too naughty. I…”
The little white fox shyly hid in Ye Qiu’s embrace, like a little wildcat, too embarrassed to lift her head and look at him.
Ye Qiu asked, “I remember your true name is Yao Baihu, right?”
“Mm.” The little white fox gave a soft hum and said, “Is this name not pleasant? Changsheng, why not give me a new name?”
Ye Qiu had exactly this in mind.
“How about Bai…” Ye Qiu suddenly paused, swallowing the word “Jie” that followed, and asked, “Do you have a childhood name?”
“Yes.” The little white fox said, “My childhood name is Mei’er.”
Mei’er?
“This name suits you very well.” Ye Qiu said, “No need to change it. From now on, I shall call you Mei’er.”
“Mei’er, I have a very important matter right now that requires your help.” Seeing Ye Qiu’s serious expression, the little white fox immediately sat up from his embrace and asked, “What is it?”
Ye Qiu said, “I have a brother who is currently on the verge of qi deviation and needs your assistance.”
“No problem.” The little white fox asked, “Where is he?”
Ye Qiu pointed to a certain spot on his body. In an instant, the little white fox’s face turned crimson.
“You cheeky Ye Changsheng. How dare you tease this monarch? Believe it or not, this monarch will thrash you?”
The little white fox waved her small pink fists, putting on a fierce appearance to intimidate Ye Qiu.
“What is this? Earlier you called me husband, and now that you have put on clothes, you no longer acknowledge me? I think you are the one who needs a spanking.” Ye Qiu finished speaking, swiftly flipped the little white fox over, and with a “smack”, slapped her below the waist.
The elasticity was astonishing. Ye Qiu’s palm even bounced back.
“Oh!” The little white fox let out a loud cry.
Ye Qiu demanded, “Will you dare threaten me again in the future?”
Unexpectedly, the little white fox lifted her head, looking at him with expectant eyes, and said, “Could you do it a bit harder?”
Damn, he almost forgot. This vixen has masochistic tendencies.
Ye Qiu increased his strength, his palm striking repeatedly.
“Oh… so good… harder…”
The little white fox cried out incessantly. After a while, her body suddenly tensed, then trembled several times.
Ye Qiu was experienced and immediately understood what had happened. He laughed, “I helped you feel good. Now should you not help me?”
The little white fox pulled a bitter face and said, “I have no experience…”
Ye Qiu grinned wickedly. “No problem. I will teach you.”
At least five thousand words omitted here!
…
Who knows how much time passed.
In the monarch’s bedchamber.
Everything returned to calm.
The little white fox gave Ye Qiu a resentful glance and said plaintively, “It is all your fault, you bad egg. My hand is so sore now.”
“First time is unfamiliar, second time is better. With more practice, your hand will not get sore.” Ye Qiu laughed heartily.
“Hmph.” The little white fox huffed delicately, tidied her dishevelled clothes, and said, “I have something to tell you. Tomorrow, I plan to take you to our demon clan’s forbidden area.”
Ye Qiu could not help but recall Xiao Ba’s words. When he was inside the Eight Trigrams Treasure Furnace, Xiao Ba had repeatedly urged him to find a way to enter the demon clan’s forbidden area and resonate with the Demon Emperor’s stone inscription.
Unexpectedly, the little white fox was going to take him there proactively.
“What is inside the demon clan’s forbidden area?” Ye Qiu asked curiously.
The little white fox replied, “Inside is the Demon Emperor’s inheritance.”
Ye Qiu’s heart jolted. The Demon Emperor was a legendary super powerhouse.
If he obtained the Demon Emperor’s inheritance, his cultivation would surely advance by leaps and bounds.
The little white fox said, “Before the Demon Emperor passed away in meditation, he left a final decree. The demon clan’s forbidden area can only be entered by the monarch and the elders.”
“Even so, I discussed it with the elders, and everyone agreed to let me bring you in.”
“Tomorrow, I and the ten great elders will accompany you into the demon clan’s forbidden area.”
“Whether you can obtain the Demon Emperor’s inheritance will depend on your own fortune.”
Ye Qiu asked, “In all these years, has no one from your demon clan obtained the Demon Emperor’s inheritance?”
“If someone had obtained the inheritance, I would not be taking you to the forbidden area.” The little white fox said, “Tonight, just rest well here with me.”
Ye Qiu embraced the little white fox and said, “Mei’er, you are so good to me. I do not even know how to thank you.”
“Want to thank me? It is easy.” The corners of the little white fox’s mouth curved up as she smiled seductively. “Give me another spanking!”
