He had just been reborn when he was imprisoned by his nemesis, the Empress?

Xu Yi subconsciously raised his hand slowly, his palm clutching a long piece of white silk.

The silk satin gently fell onto my cheek, carrying a faint, sweet milky scent.

He froze on the bed, his fingertips slightly stiff, and instantly recognized it as Su Qingluan's breast wrap.

Xu Yi's eyes widened in astonishment, his tone filled with confusion.

"Why is it in my hands?"

Su Qingluan's red lips curved slightly, a hint of mockery in her eyes, and a touch of teasing in her languid tone.

"I'm also wondering why."

"If you want it, you can just say so, but why steal it?"

Xu Yi quickly waved his hand, eager to explain.

"I didn't steal it."

Su Qingluan rolled her eyes and pulled the brocade quilt over her body up, revealing only her phoenix eyes.

The corners of her eyes were tinged with a faint red, the result of her meticulously applied makeup last night, adding a touch of alluring charm.

Seeing that Xu Yi remained frozen in place for a long time, she spoke with a hint of urging.

"Stop staring, give it back to me immediately."

Xu Yi then came to his senses and hurriedly handed over the cloth.

"oh oh."

So much time has passed in the dream world, and I haven't seen Su Qingluan and Jiang Xuange for so long. To be honest, I really miss them.

By the way, where is Jiang Xuange?

Xu Yi glanced around the palace, looked at Su Qingluan, and asked the question that had been on his mind.

"Where's Jiang Xuange?"

Su Qingluan deftly took the white silk, turned her back to Xu Yi, and slowly and methodically put on her clothes.

Xu Yi glanced at it a few times.

It must be said that her skin is incredibly fair, and her figure is graceful and curvaceous, with every feature perfectly proportioned.

Su Qingluan straightened her clothes and slowly turned around.

"She suddenly went into seclusion and may not be back for several days."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yi's tone carried a hint of barely perceptible disappointment.

"Xuange went into seclusion without even saying a word?"

Su Qingluan glanced at him, then with a flick of her wrist, a letter floated down towards Xu Yi.

"I left you a letter. Here, take it and read it yourself."

Xu Yi reached out and took the letter, tore open the seal with his fingertips, and began to read it carefully, word by word.

The letter, written in gentle handwriting, expressed the joy of spending time together, as well as the concerns and apologies before going into seclusion.

He read it word by word, and the slight disappointment in his heart gradually faded away. His fingertips gently caressed the edge of the letter.

Su Qingluan slowly moved closer to Xu Yi, her body enveloped in a faint fragrance.

She gently wrapped her arm around Xu Yi's neck, her breath brushing against his ear, her tone teasing.

"You were holding that thing for so long just now, did you think it smelled good?"

Xu Yi's mind was still on the contents of the letter, and he didn't hear exactly what she asked. He just casually replied...

"Smells smells good."

Su Qingluan chuckled softly, her red lips brushing against his earlobe.

"abnormal"

Xu Yi still couldn't hear what Su Qingluan was saying, and continued to give perfunctory replies.

"Mmm-hmm-hmm."

Seeing his completely perfunctory attitude, Su Qingluan raised an eyebrow, her amusement growing stronger.

She slowly raised her fair fingertips and took out a jade bottle from the storage ring on her finger.

She took out a round, light pink pill, brought it to Xu Yi's lips, and coaxed him in her tone.

"It's delicious, eat it quickly."

Xu Yi didn't think much of it, his gaze still fixed on the words on the letter, and he slightly opened his mouth to chew the pill.

After doing all this, Su Qingluan turned around and lay back on the bed, gently tapping her slender waist with her fingertips.

Her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and she lazily closed them, as if quietly calculating the time it would take for the pill to take effect.

In less than half an incense stick's time, a sudden heat spread from Xu Yi's dantian to his limbs and bones.

Xu Yi gripped the letter tightly, looked up and stared intently at Su Qingluan on the bed, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He gritted his teeth, his voice hoarse and feverish, and questioned her with a mixture of anger and helplessness.

"What kind of pill did you use on me again?!"

Su Qingluan slowly turned around, lazily closing her eyes, her tone indifferent.

"I don't know, I just grabbed one randomly, maybe I picked the wrong one."

Xu Yi struggled to lie down beside her, reaching out to tightly embrace her waist, his tone tinged with urgency.

"Quick, stop pretending to be asleep."

He raised his hand to try and unbutton Su Qingluan's clothes, but her wrist was firmly held down, and he couldn't move.

Xu Yi felt anxious and angry, and his irritation grew stronger. He couldn't help but complain.

"How can you be so selfish! You're the one who feeds me..."

Su Qingluan slowly opened her eyes, her phoenix eyes filled with a smile, her tone carrying a hint of reproach.

"Who told you to be so perfunctory with me just now? I didn't listen to a single word you asked."

Xu Yi squeezed her smooth hand and explained.

"When you left that letter in seclusion, I read it very carefully before speaking to Xuan Ge."

After hearing this, Su Qingluan remained silent for a moment, then released her grip on his hand, allowing him to get closer to her.

......

An hour later, the heat in the hall gradually dissipated, and Su Qingluan gently kissed Xu Yi's neck.

Her lips fell gently, one after another, devoid of their usual assertiveness, replaced only by a rare tenderness.

Light kisses landed on her neck, and she let out a soft "mmm," tender and languid.

Xu Yi rarely saw her so gentle. He felt a slight tickle on his neck, but he didn't push her away.

Su Qingluan gently kissed his Adam's apple one last time, and he pushed her away because he couldn't stand the tickling sensation anymore.

"It itches...stop it, I'm really going to run away if you keep doing that."

Su Qingluan propped herself up and leaned against him, her phoenix eyes still showing a hint of languor.

Her fingertips traced his chest, her tone nonchalant.

"Then what should I do? I'm bored..."

Xu Yi looked up at her and casually offered a suggestion.

"Aren't you going to deal with state affairs?"

Su Qingluan waved her hand dismissively, her tone somewhat carefree.

"There are too many trivial matters in the court; I can leave them to my subordinates to handle. I'm too lazy to bother with them."

Xu Yi couldn't help but mutter a complaint under his breath after hearing this.

"A tyrannical ruler."

This time, Su Qingluan didn't refute it, but just smiled and tacitly accepted the title.

Xu Yi turned to look outside the hall. Snowflakes were falling heavily outside the window, and the world was a pure white.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the person beside him.

"Aren't you bored? I'll take you somewhere fun."

Su Qingluan responded with a casual curiosity in her eyes.

"Hmm, where is it? Tell me about it."

Xu Yi slowly yawned and said

"Let me take you skiing, it's the most popular activity for ordinary people in winter."

Su Qingluan frowned slightly, seemingly disdainful, yet also harboring a hint of curiosity.

"Skiing? It's a crude thing for ordinary people. What fun could it be?"

Xu Yi nodded seriously and patiently explained the intricacies to her.

"It's best to seal away spiritual energy and play with this thing with a mortal body; that's when you'll truly find it fun."

"If you play with the cultivation of the Supreme Realm, flying through the clouds and mist, you'll definitely find it extremely boring."

Su Qingluan pondered for a moment, then immediately became interested and tapped his cheek with her fingertip.

"Alright, I'll grant your request. Seal the spiritual power. Can this even be a contest of who wins?"

Xu Yi smiled helplessly.

"Of course you can, but why do you always have to compete to see who wins?"

Su Qingluan smiled smugly and whispered in his ear.

"That's more like it... If you win, you can punish this tyrant of a ruler, how about it?"
