Chapter 107

Yuan Ling pondered seriously for a moment, and after a while, his handsome face was full of difficulty. “Your Majesty, I have never loved anyone, nor do I know about women. It is too difficult for me to answer this question.”

Yuan Ling considered himself pure and noble. In the thousands of years in the Heavenly Realm, he had spoken to female immortals no more than a handful of times.

In the Heavenly Realm, he had seen so many gods and goddesses descend to the mortal world to undergo tribulations. He only felt that the word “love” was a sin. But now that the Heavenly Emperor had personally come all this way, Yuan Ling increasingly felt that the relationship between men and women was simply a fierce flood and savage beasts. If you don’t get entangled, that’s fine, but if you do get entangled, you simply can’t escape without shedding a layer of skin.

If love was like this, then women were even more incomprehensible. Yuan Ling really couldn’t understand what women were thinking in their hearts. Even if it was to undergo tribulations to improve one’s cultivation, it was still not as difficult as trying to figure out a woman’s thoughts.

Yuan Ling pondered for a long time, but still couldn’t come up with a reason.

“I indeed forgot,” said the Heavenly Emperor.

“You have never experienced it, so how could you understand?”

The Heavenly Emperor sighed, but even when sighing, the corners of his eyes and brows were smiling, carrying a kind of flamboyant showing off.

As for what he was showing off, it went without saying.

Yuan Ling tidied up the Heavenly Emperor’s appearance while sinking into endless pondering. It seemed that this love was far more terrifying than he had imagined. He had been by the Heavenly Emperor’s side for so many years, but he had never seen the Heavenly Emperor have this kind of hobby of showing off.

“What does Your Majesty plan to do now?” Yuan Ling was the Heavenly Emperor’s personal immortal official, and he often did these things. His hands and feet were nimble, and he quickly tidied him up, except the Heavenly Emperor’s long hair hung down.

“That lady is indeed incompatible with the Divine Realm. It’s fine for a short time, but if it’s for a long time…”

Yuan Ling was indeed unromantic and spoke without much tact. The more the Heavenly Emperor didn’t want to hear it, the more he had to say it. “If it’s for a long time, I’m afraid not only that lady, but the other gods and immortals may privately…”

The smile on the Heavenly Emperor’s face suddenly faded. “I have been lonely for ten thousand years, and now I finally have someone to accompany me. They should be happy for me. Moreover, my private matters have never caused me to neglect my public duties. At most, they’ll just gossip a little in private.”

“If it really gets to the point of interfering with my private matters, then they are too idle. Going down to the mortal world to cultivate and improve their realm would be a good thing.”

Yuan Ling lightly inhaled.

Undergoing tribulations in the mortal world was not easy for those in the Divine Realm. Even for the Heavenly Emperor, undergoing tribulations in the mortal world meant experiencing all kinds of human sufferings. The higher one’s realm and the deeper one’s cultivation, the greater the tribulations one would face. It would be great if one could pass, but it was worrisome if one could not.

The Heavenly Emperor naturally had his own considerations. Yuan Ling thought that perhaps he had indeed overthought it.

After the clothes were tidied, the Heavenly Emperor waved his hand, indicating that Yuan Ling did not need to comb his hair for him.

He pushed open the door and walked towards the main hall. Su Heng, who was in the main hall, had already woken up. She was not a delicate lady, so she was fine after resting for a bit. When she opened her eyes and saw the Heavenly Emperor sitting beside her, she noticed his intact clothing and his loosely hanging long hair that was completely different from his neat attire.

“You’re waiting for me to comb your hair for you?” she asked.

The Heavenly Emperor also wanted to try some of the intimacies between husband and wife in the mortal world. When he heard Su Heng say this, his eyes lit up. “Would A-Heng do it for me?”

Although he asked verbally, the fact that he came with his hair hanging down showed that he was determined to have her do it.

“I don’t know how,” Su Heng yawned. “I’ve never served anyone, and I don’t know how. Even when it comes to taking care of myself,” she pointed to her own head, “I just let it grow on its own.”

The Heavenly Emperor said nothing and just looked at her, his eyes full of expectation.

Su Heng felt uncomfortable under his gaze. “Alright, alright, you’re handing your head over to me, aren’t you afraid you won’t be presentable later?”

She casually grabbed a piece of clothing and draped it over her body, casually covering herself. She pushed him in front of the dressing table. Serving others was not something she knew how to do, but manipulating plants was her forte.

She lightly touched his long hair with her fingertips, and then the long hair came to life on its own, combing itself and weaving into a hair bun according to her previous impression.

The Heavenly Emperor almost laughed in exasperation seeing this. Su Heng yawned, “It’s not bad. I really don’t know how to serve people. If I really took a comb to it, aren’t you afraid I’d make you go bald?”

“Besides, you’re the first. I’ve never put in this much effort before.”

These words nicely soothed the Heavenly Emperor’s heart. He quieted down and sat in front of the dressing table, watching as his long hair folded itself into a hair bun on top of his head.

Her manipulation of plants was masterful, and it was done in no time. The Heavenly Emperor looked in the mirror and saw it was no different from his usual appearance.

He looked at Su Heng with a smile, “You must pay attention to me every day, right?”

Su Heng looked at him impatiently, “You’re in front of me every day, how could I not know what you look like?”

The Heavenly Emperor said that wasn’t it. “If you really didn’t care at all in your heart, even if you saw me every day, you wouldn’t necessarily have the interest to pay attention.”

He laughed again, “This just goes to show that you do care about me.”

These words carried a bit of sweetness when spoken, and even his jet-black eyes gave birth to a hint of mischief. Su Heng could see his smiling eyes through the mirror.

Jade Heng Palace originally did not have a dressing table and such things. The Heavenly Emperor was very casual about his personal items. Many things were only prepared after Su Heng arrived.

He previously didn’t care about his own appearance. The gods would not directly look upon his face, and his attendants would take care of him. Now as he looked at himself in the mirror, with his refined features and gentle eyes, dressed in silver-white robes, he appeared ethereal and otherworldly.

Su Heng looked at him, a trace of a smile appearing on her face, seeming to perceive his thoughts.

“That’s right, you’re so good-looking, why wouldn’t I look at you more?”

She smacked her lips a couple times, sizing up the face in the mirror, her eyes also full of playfulness. “This countenance, perhaps it can be considered number one in the Heavenly Realm?”

She looked for a bit, perhaps feeling that just looking with her eyes wasn’t enough. She placed her hands on his shoulders, slowly moving along his shoulders.

“This physique is also not bad.”

As she spoke, she leaned over, resting against his back, her hands wandering over his body.

Her style in this aspect was completely unrestrained, making him overjoyed but also finding it hard to resist.

He grabbed her mischievous hands and pulled her over in one motion.

Their breaths intermingled. Su Heng looked at him leisurely. “This face is good, the physique is also nice.” She allowed one of her wrists to be grabbed by him, while her other hand wasn’t idle either, lightly tapping on his lips and then falling to his neck.

“This is also very good.” She tapped on his chest, but her fingertips pointed downwards.

The Heavenly Emperor’s breathing grew more noticeably rapid, but she didn’t do as he wished, separating at just the right moment. “Alright.”

She was about to get up, but he pulled her down again. The force of his hand was very strong, and in an instant, the force made her entire body press against his legs.

“What about me?” The Heavenly Emperor stared into her eyes and asked.

His gaze was too blazing hot, making her feel uncomfortable all over. She squirmed a couple times, trying to leave, but even though he clearly knew her intention, he exerted force around her waist.

“What do you think of me? Do you like me?”

The Heavenly Emperor persistently sought an answer from her.

He vaguely felt that her personality was similar to a man’s in this aspect – loving his body didn’t necessarily mean liking him as a person.

Su Heng looked completely baffled. “Wasn’t I talking about you just now?”

“What I said was just me. It had nothing to do with my appearance or physique.” Su Heng looked amused. She wanted to casually brush it off, but the Heavenly Emperor wouldn’t let her.

She lightly sighed. “You’re very good, Shao Wu. You’re really very good.” The Heavenly Emperor’s eyes fluttered slightly. There were some words that he wanted to hear when he didn’t hear them, but when he actually heard them from her mouth, he felt they were unreal.

“Shao Wu loves me, and I like that very much,” Su Heng said again.

The hands originally restraining her waist suddenly tightened, and he hugged her entire body.

He was usually calm, but once he was moved, he became so anxious that even he himself couldn’t stand it. From beginning to end, even at this moment, he was very clear-headed. He knew what he was doing, yet he was also crazed. He watched himself fall completely into it, unable to extricate himself.

And what was wrong with that?

Her long hair draped down, suffused with the fragrance of plants from her body.

He allowed himself to bury his face in it. “I’m very happy.”

Those intense emotions surged through his body, completely shattering the tranquility of these ten thousand years. He no longer watched coldly from the side, nor showed merciful glances anymore. He had already fallen into it, so how could he still remain aloof?

He kept seeking confirmation, not missing any opportunity, as if only by doing so could he feel a bit more at ease.

The Heavenly Emperor took a deep breath.

“Since you like it, then let’s do as we did last night every day,” he suddenly said.

It took Su Heng a moment to understand what he meant. This man was indeed a scoundrel. One moment ago he was pestering her for a response, and the next moment he was talking about this.

She didn’t hesitate either, lightly pressing her head on his shoulder. “Alright. But be careful, I heard that in this aspect, in the long run, men are the first to not be able to endure it. When the time comes, your eyes will be blurry and your legs will be weak…” She made a suggestive gesture with her hand, “Does the Divine Realm have medicine for you to drink?”

The Heavenly Emperor stared at her deeply, approaching closer, lowering his voice in intimate contact, “You’ll know in the future.”

“Your Majesty.” Outside the hall was the untimely voice of Gouchen Jun.

The Heavenly Emperor released her, “I’ll come back later. Wherever you want to go, you can go. No one will stop you.” The Heavenly Emperor watched as she went back to sleep on the bed, making it seem like the sky was dark and the earth dim. He went out the door and saw Gouchen standing outside.

“Your Majesty, something has happened in the Blood Maple Forest. Demonic energy suddenly surged out of the Blood Maple Forest, knocking over the gods who went to investigate. Afterward, the demonic energy escaped. Its whereabouts are currently unknown.” This could be considered a major event, so Gouchen hurried over without stopping.

“Your Majesty, should we pursue it?”

The Heavenly Emperor nodded, “Of course we should, but even if we make a big fuss about it now, I’m afraid we won’t gain much. The Blood Maple Forest has been peaceful for nearly 10,000 years. If there were no movements, then so be it, but once there’s a sign of life, how could it easily let you find its traces?”

“The Taihou Clan has been living in seclusion for so many years. Whether they are truly loyal or conserving their strength, no one knows.” The Heavenly Emperor smiled lightly with his back turned, discerning people’s hearts had always been a difficult matter. Now there was an opportunity.

“Your Majesty means…”

“Everything as usual.”

The Heavenly Emperor made a gesture with his hand. Now was a chance to round up all the hidden dangers left over from the ancient times in one swoop.

The Heavenly Emperor looked at the sky and went towards the Nine Extremes Hall.

Su Heng woke up from her sleep, and the sky outside was already bright. She wasn’t too used to life in the Divine Realm.

She changed into new clothes sent by the immortal servants. The Heavenly Emperor was no longer in the Beidou Palace, so she took the opportunity to go out for a walk.

As she walked in the Heavenly Realm, just as the Heavenly Emperor said, she was not obstructed by anyone.

Not only that, when the immortal servants encountered her, they would instead step back and bow.

She walked for a while and saw Mei Luo bringing someone towards the direction of the Beidou Palace. From a long distance away, Su Heng could see that the person following beside Mei Luo was Mei Shuangshuang.

Mei Shuangshuang had undergone tribulations in the mortal world and could not return unless she died. It seemed she had already died thoroughly in the mortal world?

Su Heng didn’t pay too much attention to Mei Shuangshuang. Last time, she had watched like a spectator as Mei Shuangshuang caused trouble because of seeking revenge and was expelled from the Danxun Valley. She hadn’t paid attention after that.

“Immortal, long time no see.” Su Heng raised her head to greet Mei Luo.

Mei Luo’s face stiffened. He now knew what the Heavenly Emperor’s attitude towards her was like. Plus, having learned a lesson, he also knew she wasn’t someone to be provoked easily.

Mei Luo slightly nodded his head in response.

Su Heng looked at Mei Shuangshuang, “You’re back? How did you come back? It shouldn’t be in such a short time, right?” Mei Shuangshuang followed beside Mei Luo. After she was expelled from the Danxun Valley, everything she knew underwent earth-shattering changes, and the world bared its fangs at her. In the end, she was hanged by a disciple of the Chaoyun Sect who was wandering outside, had all her cultivation destroyed, and slowly bled to death.

The disciple who killed her said his sister had died in the forbidden area’s changes that year, and he had come out this time to seek revenge on her.

The feeling of being hung up and bled lasted for several days and nights. Even after her primordial spirit returned, she couldn’t forget that despair and panic.

Su Heng saw Mei Shuangshuang’s eyes turning red, her breath unsteady. She joked, “What’s wrong, do you still think I’m your enemy?”

Mei Luo didn’t know what had happened between the two in the mortal world, but it was obviously not a pleasant matter.

Mei Luo sensed Mei Shuangshuang’s true energy gradually becoming disordered. He glanced at Su Heng, and Su Heng also noticed. She just watched with a smile. He stood between the two. Su Heng saw and joked, “So afraid of me, are you still afraid I’ll eat her?”

“Why?” Mei Shuangshuang suddenly spoke.

Mei Luo’s expression was unpleasant. He turned his head and lightly rebuked, “Shuanger.”

“Why did you treat me like that? I clearly didn’t do it on purpose.” Mei Shuangshuang was immersed in the despair before her death again. She looked at Su Heng, her face full of disbelief. “Why me? Why?”

“Because you deserved it.”

Su Heng was straightforward.
