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

After kissing him eighty-one times, Yu Nianqing kissed Xu Yi's arms, stomach, ears, nose, mouth, and so on.

Xu Yi's cheeks puffed up with anger as he glared at Yu Nianqing, who was clinging to him and refusing to let go.

Yu Nianqing hugged him contentedly, then suddenly remembered something and spoke softly, her tone tinged with uncertainty.

"Do you think it's possible that Jiang Xuange will be able to enter this world after some time?"

Xu Yi was taken aback, and it took him a moment to speak.

"What? You mean she has it too..."

"It's just speculation."

Yu Nianqing shrugged indifferently, then hugged him and lay down on the bed.

"Okay, okay, let's not think about this anymore, let's go to sleep."

Xu Yi panicked instantly and gently pushed her.

"Huh? No, no, wait a minute, what will we say when Shen Yunshu comes back?"

Yu Nianqing hugged him tightly, and without a word, pulled the blanket over them both, her tone forceful and matter-of-fact.

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'You've always belonged to me, and I can't even sleep with you'?"

"When she comes back, just say that your aunt was drunk and went into the wrong room. Don't say anything else, just go to sleep."

As soon as she finished speaking, she reached out and covered Xu Yi's mouth, preventing him from saying another word.

Xu Yi was held tightly in Yu Nianqing's arms, the faint fragrance emanating from her body lingering around his nose.

He was enveloped in a soft, warm embrace, like a warm, drifting cloud, which made him feel completely relaxed.

I'm so sleepy...

Su Qingluan wouldn't... have... drugged me again, would she?

Not long after, Xu Yi fell into a deep sleep.

He slept exceptionally soundly that night.

......

An hour later, the air in the bedroom suddenly became very cold.

But this didn't wake Xu Yi either, because Yu Nianqing's embrace was too comfortable.

But a figure appeared beside him.

Shen Yunshu had appeared there at some point, staring intently at the two people tightly embracing on the bed, her eyes filled with suppressed anger.

Yu Nianqing, meanwhile, had her eyes closed and was breathing steadily and slowly, looking completely drunk and fast asleep.

Shen Yunshu could no longer bear to watch this scene.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the anger and trembling in her throat, and transmitted her voice.

"Yu Nianqing, if you don't want to be kicked out on the spot, then... get up now!"

"I know you're awake. Don't pretend to be asleep in front of me."

As soon as the words were spoken, the person on the bed slowly opened their eyes.

Her captivating phoenix eyes were half-closed, with a lazy blush at the corners, as if she had just woken up. Her thin eye bags made her eyebrows and eyes even more charming.

He didn't seem flustered at all about being caught; instead, he appeared nonchalant and relaxed.

She slowly lowered her head and looked at Xu Yi in her arms with feigned confusion.

Then she looked up at Shen Yunshu, who stood coldly by the bed, her tone innocent, even tinged with doubt.

"Hmm? Yun Shu... why is your little apprentice in my arms?"

Shen Yunshu could no longer bear it, and she grabbed at the air with her pale hand.

The spiritual energy transformed into an irresistible force, directly using magic to pull Yu Nianqing out of bed.

Before the other person could react, they forcibly dragged him out of the bedchamber.

She followed closely behind and stepped out of the room. The moment she closed the door, she gently flicked her spiritual energy to lock it shut, cutting off the sleeping Xu Yi.

Once in the empty corridor, with no one around, Shen Yunshu suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Yu Nianqing by the neck.

"You..."

Her fingers were slender yet powerful, and she quickly pinched Yu Nianqing's neck until it turned red.

But Yu Nianqing remained calm as she looked at her, showing no panic even with her neck being choked.

"What? Are you going to curse me, Yun Shu? Or are you trying to kill me?"

Shen Yunshu's chest heaved violently. Enraged by her attitude, her fingertips trembled. She abruptly released her grip and shoved her hard against the wall.

"If you ever get close to my disciple like this again, or sleep in the same bed with him, I dare to really kill you!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Nianqing casually waved her hand, and a dagger gleaming with a dark, menacing aura appeared in her palm.

She pressed the blade against her heart, her posture unrestrained and arrogant.

"Oh? Then do it now."

Shen Yunshu's eyes flashed with anger. He raised his hand and slapped the dagger out of her hand, shouting angrily.

"You shameless bastard!"

"You've only met Yi'er a few times, why are you clinging to him like this?"

Yu Nianqing chuckled softly, raising her hand to stroke her neck where faint red marks had been drawn from being pinched, her tone carrying a hint of deeper meaning.

"I've only met him a few times in this life, but who knows, I might have met him thousands or tens of thousands of times in my past life?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Shen Yunshu interrupted her sharply, her heart filled with a mixture of unease and anger.

"Anyway, I just like that kid. I felt like we were destined to be together from the first time I saw him."

Yu Nianqing raised her eyes, her gaze direct and unambiguous.

Seeing her unyielding attitude, Shen Yunshu trembled with anger. She pointed outside and said, word by word...

"You...get out of here!"

Yu Nianqing lowered her eyes and spoke softly.

"Then kill me and throw me out."

"Anyway, I have no relatives or friends in this world. Now, even my only friend is going to break off relations with me because I slept with her apprentice."

Her words were forlorn and sorrowful, each one striking a chord deep within Shen Yunshu's heart.

Shen Yunshu opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

She only gave Yu Nianqing a cold glance before turning around and striding into the room, her back stiff.

Back in the room, Shen Yunshu looked at Xu Yi, who was still fast asleep on the bed. Her expression softened slightly, but she still carried a lingering gloom.

She sat gently on the edge of the bed, her fingertips hovering above Xu Yi's cheek, but hesitated to touch him.

She was afraid, afraid that her disciple, whom she had protected for so long, would be easily taken away by someone else.

......

Another half hour later, Xu Yi groggily opened his eyes, feeling that he had slept very soundly this time.

Xu Yi glanced around the room blankly; Yu Nianqing, who had been beside him, seemed to be gone.

He looked up and saw Shen Yunshu sitting cross-legged not far away with his back to him, seemingly meditating.

Oh no, did they have a fight or something?

Xu Yi quickly jumped out of bed, ran to Shen Yunshu's side, and gently tugged at her sleeve.

"Master, Master, did you and Aunt Yu have a fight?"

"Aunt Yu was drunk earlier and probably went into the wrong room, which is why she was drowsy and holding me while sleeping. Did you do anything to her?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yunshu kept her eyes closed, but sighed inwardly.

Yu Nianqing's condition didn't seem like that of someone who was drunk.

Was her naughty child actually speaking up for Yu Nianqing, or was he genuinely fooled by that person's act?

Shen Yunshu closed her eyes, her fingertips curling slightly.
