Chapter 113

His lips parted slightly as he gazed at her intently.

His slender fingers touched his own face. “This is yours.”

His fingers fell to his lips, fingertips brushing against them. His eyes lowered, but his gaze remained firmly fixed on her.

She was so close to him that she could almost hear his slightly hurried breathing.

He was impeccably dressed, the lofty and superior god of all gods. But his delirious light panting and alluring gaze, coupled with his heavenly emperor robes, made him even more enticingly fallen.

Male beauty could bewitch the heart, sometimes even more intensely than women.

The person before her had become the most formidable enchantress in heaven and earth, captivating the soul. Even the thousand-year-old fox demon she had once seen would have to bow in shame, admitting inferiority to the current emperor.

“Are you sure you’re not actually a fox in your true form?” Su Heng blurted out.

She shook her head after speaking. “No, even if you were a fox, there wouldn’t be one as formidable as you.”

The emperor raised his eyebrows. He tentatively grasped her hand. Now, he let her gradually get used to him, become addicted to him, whether it was the lingering passion in bed or this physical shell. He used everything he possessed to make her immerse herself in him, unable to extricate herself.

He smiled, clear ripples spreading. He took her hand and placed it on his own face, tracing down the path his fingers had just traversed.

“As long as you and I ascend the Nine Extremities Palace and become husband and wife before the gods, then all of this is yours.”

The honor of the empress, the supreme power, and even his entire godhood, all belonged to her.

His crimson lips moved. “Forever.”

Su Heng looked at the face getting closer and closer. She was dazed by this man’s beauty. He leaned down and cupped her cheeks.

Su Heng opened her mouth, about to speak, but he suddenly lowered his head and their lips met. The cool breath was passed to her again.

It was like this every day. Whether she was willing or not, his divine power and divine blood would be transmitted to her in this way.

She opened her eyes and saw the smiling brows before her. She instinctively closed them. Random thoughts ran through her mind. She always felt that the two of them doing this wasn’t some kind of skill transmission, but more like doing unseemly things behind closed doors.

“Still…”

She opened her mouth to ask if everyone around had left. Kaiyang Hall was where the emperor handled official duties. Divine servants and gods came and went here. She had seen quite a few before.

If someone saw her and the emperor messing around in Kaiyang Hall, then her reputation of a thousand years would be completely ruined.

Although she didn’t have that either.

No, that’s not right. They obviously weren’t doing that thing.

Su Heng only felt her mind in a mess.

Something soft and slippery entered along with the divine power, entangling with her.

“We do this every day, being an affectionate husband and wife.”

In a daze, she heard this sentence. Su Heng’s mind stirred as she struggled to express her opinion. “No, if it were really like this, could you handle it? When I was in the lower realm, I heard that men look sturdy, but actually can’t mess around every day. If they do it every day, women would be fine, but men would have kidney deficiency, weak legs, and runny noses.”

The hands embracing her stiffened for a moment at her words.

“I’ve never experienced that.”

He let out a long breath, then bit her with a hint of fierceness. Su Heng felt him gently stroking her back to comfort her, and she patted his hand.

“Reveal your tail.”

She liked that silvery flowing dragon tail, but she hadn’t seen it again since coming to the heavenly realm.

The emperor’s breath paused.

He pulled back slightly from her, breathing heavily, no longer the light panting from the beginning.

“I’m not him.”

The emperor rejected firmly. Su Heng laughed uncontrollably, her eyes instantly overflowing with charm and enchantment. “Tan Ye, I know you’re in there.”

As soon as she said this, the emperor could no longer hold back. He grabbed her wrists and pressed them heavily at her sides. She showed no signs of resistance, softly accommodating him, appeasing all the resentment he harbored.

Su Heng placed her fingers on the back of his head, gently stroking again and again, like comforting an angry child.

All of the emperor’s strength was soothed by her gentle consolation.

“He is you, I know it’s you.” In the gaps of their intimacy, she uttered a few words between their lips.

“I love him, and likewise, I love you too.”

The emperor propped himself up on his arms and looked at her. She suddenly felt a void in his embrace, still somewhat unable to adapt to this feeling of emptiness. She looked up at him and saw a flash of silver light below his body. The dragon tail, unseen for a long time, fully appeared in the silver light.

She exclaimed in surprise and treated this dragon tail like a long-lost lover. She stepped on it with her feet, rubbing affectionately.

The dragon tail meandered down. She placed her soles on it, playing and rubbing, feeling every detail. He could sense how much she loved this dragon tail.

Do you like it that much?

He lowered his head and kissed her again, feeling her tears.

The dragon tail, following his will, reached her hand. She hugged him with one hand and stroked the tail with the other. The dragon scales on it emitted a warm glow in the sunlight.

She let out a contented sigh.

However, before she could continue, the tightly closed door was pushed open with a thud from the outside.

Then a childish voice filled with distorted horror shouted, “The dragon is eating someone!!!”

Mudball, who had run off to who knows where to play, had returned. The emperor enjoyed peace and quiet, so there weren’t many divine servants in the North Star Palace. After the two gods left, the other divine servants also tactfully departed. Naturally, no one was there to stop the Mudball who had played to his heart’s content and returned.

Su Heng and the emperor instantly sprang apart. No matter how thick-skinned they were, they couldn’t remain unfazed in front of a child.

She sat to the side, reaching out to adjust her lapels and the palace sash around her waist.

After mingling like that, don’t expect the two of them to still be neatly dressed.

Su Heng took a moment to glance at the emperor. The emperor tugged at his neck, covering the vivid bruise on his neck. The dragon tail had also retracted at the child’s scream.

“You’re back?” The emperor took several deep breaths to fully calm himself.

Mudball usually liked to run around everywhere, and with his cat nature, it was common for him to play wildly outside for days and nights without returning.

The emperor didn’t restrict his natural instincts. He could play for as long as he wanted. Who knew he would return at this moment?

The existence of children, trying to restrain them with adult standards, was simply impossible.

Mudball was so frightened that he ran back halfway. He peeked into the hall. “Where’s the dragon?”

“The dragon left.” The emperor softly explained to Mudball.

Mudball looked at Su Heng and quickly ran to her. He looked her up and down, not seeing any missing limbs. “Mother, I just saw a huge dragon about to eat you.”

As he spoke, he spread his arms wide to demonstrate. “This big. Mother, are you alright?”

Su Heng glanced at the emperor, who sat there looking exhausted.

“It’s fine, the dragon can’t eat your mother.” Su Heng explained to Mudball.

Mudball was very suspicious. It was unknown whether he was naturally smart or had been personally enlightened by the emperor, making him difficult to deceive. He approached Su Heng with a face full of doubt, looking around and sniffing. “It’s all father’s scent.”

Su Heng patted his head. “That’s right. With your father here, who could harm me?”

Mudball thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with an answer. However, he was still full of questions. But if he asked further, Su Heng had no intention of clarifying for him.

The emperor beckoned him and looked at Su Heng. “It’s good that you’re here. I’ll take you and your mother out to have a look.”

But Mudball didn’t want to go out either. Cats generally wouldn’t think of returning until they had played enough outside. He had been playing outside for days and nights without any intention of coming back. Since he had returned, naturally, he didn’t want to go out again.

Mudball shook his head. He curled up on Su Heng’s lap, just like when he was still a cat, sleeping on her lap.

In his sleep, the little boy turned into a fluffy cat.

Su Heng lowered her head and poked the little cat’s fluffy, round belly. She carefully examined it. “He has grown quite a bit since he first arrived.”

“Of course he has grown a lot. He goes to various divine palaces with his temperament unchanged. The gods there see him as obedient and often give him good things. Being nourished like this every day, naturally he grows fat and strong.”

The emperor looked at Mudball’s fluffy and undulating belly, chuckling lightly. “I wonder if our child will be like him in the future.”

He was used to planning ahead and arranging everything. He had even thought about having children.

Goosebumps rose all over Su Heng’s body again. She placed the cat sleeping on her lap onto the soft couch beside the emperor for him to rest.

“I just remembered there’s something I need to tell you.”

As she spoke, her palm opened, and the scene she had previously seen in the Heavenly Mirror appeared.

The Vermilion Wyrm’s entire body was clearly not right. The emperor glanced at it and saw the red light in his eyes. He raised his eyebrows. “Indeed… he truly has the shadow of the former God of War now.”

Su Heng was a little surprised. “You knew?”

The emperor shook his head. “No, I didn’t expect him to be able to escape after barging into the Blood Maple Forest. The Blood Maple Forest was transformed from the God of War’s head, yet the baleful aura has persisted for so many years.”

There was a hint of interest in the emperor’s eyes, but seeing Zhu Chi beating Mei Shuangshuang, he couldn’t help frowning.

He originally didn’t think women needed any special treatment. The goddesses in the heavenly realm were not delicate; on the contrary, their combat power was not inferior to the male gods at all. But these two were clearly going too far.

“This should… not be the God of War.”

As the emperor spoke, the expression on his face became especially intriguing. “I also met the God of War back then. The God of War had a proud temperament and would not be so ruthless towards a woman.”

Su Heng pinched the bridge of her nose. “I have tried my best.”

At the risk of being discovered by the God of War who had been revived through Zhu Chi, she had opened up an escape route for Mei Shuangshuang. However, to her surprise, Mei Shuangshuang directly embraced Zhu Chi.

She had already given Mei Shuangshuang a way out. If she was unwilling to take it, then she could only continue watching her being beaten.

The emperor observed Zhu Chi’s actions in the image, deep in thought. “Has the long-term seal weakened him, allowing Zhu Chi to gain the upper hand?”

His eyes filled with interest. “Or could it be that he has not completely taken over Zhu Chi’s body?”

Su Heng rested her chin on her hand. The emperor noticed her gaze. “What’s wrong?”

Su Heng saw that in just two breaths, the emperor’s expression had changed twice.

“I feel like we are just two thoroughly wicked thieves.”

Su Heng sighed. She watched the beating continue inside, Mei Shuangshuang’s body covered in bruises. They sat back and let it happen, even using her to understand the current state of the God of War’s recovery.

The emperor instinctively wanted to deny it, but Su Heng laughed again. “It’s not bad like this. Doing bad things together, quite a good match, isn’t it?”
