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

Xu Yi's eyes darted around, he put down his fishing rod, and turned to look at Su Qingluan.

"Can't we use spells or anything like that?"

Su Qingluan nodded in agreement, her tone somewhat frank.

"certainly."

Xu Yi was completely relieved and immediately pressed for more information, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"What if you lose? What happens then?"

Su Qingluan whispered in Xu Yi's ear, her red lips close to his, her voice alluring and seductive.

"Do as you please."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yi acted impulsively and nodded heavily in agreement.

"Okay, it's a deal!"

He was overjoyed, feeling confident that he would win.

Su Qingluan looked at his determined expression, a smile playing on her lips. She then reached into her storage ring and took out an exquisite jade fishing rod.

He then sat down on the chair next to him and gently cast the fishing line into the pond.

Seeing that Su Qingluan had cast her fishing line, Xu Yi quickly prepared some bait and cast his own line.

As a result, Su Qingluan caught a fish as soon as the line was cast.

What?! Are you kidding me?! Are you kidding me?!

Xu Yi suddenly leaned closer to the water's surface to take a look, then turned to look at the fish in Su Qingluan's hand, his face almost contorted in shock.

Su Qingluan took the nearly half-meter-long fish from her hand, put it into the fish basket beside her, and frowned as she spoke to herself.

"It's so small."

Damn it, this woman is still in Versailles! This one is worth five times the catch I made!

Xu Yi took a deep breath, turned his gaze back to the fishing spot, and focused on fishing.

In the following time, the fish on Su Qingluan's side seemed to recognize their owner, taking the bait one after another.

Almost every half incense stick's time, a fresh fish is caught and brought ashore, and the fish basket is soon full.

Meanwhile, Xu Yi's fishing float remained completely still.

Occasionally a few fish would swim by, but they would only circle the bait a couple of times before slowly swimming away.

It was as if they were deliberately toying with him, which made Xu Yi so angry that his teeth itched.

After filling a basket to the brim with fish, Su Qingluan leisurely put down her fishing rod.

She picked up the book again and began to read it intently, but she kept talking, teasing him every now and then.

Xu Yi tried his best to ignore what the other party said.

He changed his bait several times and changed his fishing spot several times.

No matter what he tried, no fish took the bait.

When the time was up, Su Qingluan closed the book, slowly stood up, walked to Xu Yi's side, and patted his head.

"Alright, time's up. It's time to count the quantities."

She paused, feigning surprise, raised an eyebrow, and said with a smile.

"Oh dear, I forgot you didn't catch a single fish."

Xu Yi removed her hand from his head, abruptly stood up, his tone laced with suppressed anger.

"Do you know how infuriating it is to talk like that?"

Seeing this, Su Qingluan did not retreat, but instead moved gracefully and got close to him.

A smile played on her lips, her tone arrogant and overbearing, carrying a deliberate provocation.

"I'm just upset with you, what can you do about it?"

Enraged, Su Qingluan made Xu Yi disregard the difference in their social standing and forcefully hug her.

He tightened his arms, holding that graceful and elegant body tightly in his embrace.

Then he bit her beautiful lips hard, as if to vent all the pent-up frustration of the past few days.

Su Qingluan paused slightly, but did not struggle.

She let Xu Yi's teeth fall on her soft lips, and her delicate lips were quickly bitten until they turned bright red.

After a few breaths, Su Qingluan took the initiative to slightly open her lips, her tongue carrying an irresistible force, and gently pried open his teeth.

Without making a sound, they quietly took the initiative into their hands.

Xu Yi's initial fierceness vanished instantly, as if all his strength had been drained, leaving him with a face full of astonishment and helplessness.

In the blink of an eye, the situation completely reversed, and Xu Yi became the one whose mouth was bitten hard.

A sharp pain shot through his lips, causing him to furrow his brow.

He hurriedly raised his hand, wanting to push the person in front of him away, but Su Qingluan had already anticipated this.

She raised her hand and wrapped it around Xu Yi's neck, her fingertips gently tapping the back of his neck.

Her kiss was forceful yet tender, her phoenix eyes half-closed, revealing an emotion that was difficult to detect.

After a long while, Su Qingluan slowly released her grip. Her red lips, kissed until they were even more vibrant and luscious, glistening with moisture, were breathtakingly beautiful.

She took a small step back, her fingertips gently caressing her lips.

Xu Yi covered his mouth, which was in excruciating pain, and staggered backward.

His fingertip accidentally touched his red and swollen lips, causing him to gasp softly in pain.

"Ouch...it hurts..."

Seeing this, Su Qingluan lightly lifted her foot and quickly stepped forward to hug him again, her graceful body pressed tightly against him.

His eyes held a strong interest, as if he was still not satisfied and wanted another kiss.

Xu Yi's expression changed slightly in fright, and he quickly covered his mouth tightly.

He pushed the other person's shoulder forcefully, his tone filled with panicked resistance.

"No! Don't!"

Su Qingluan tilted her head slightly, looking at his panicked appearance, her phoenix eyes narrowed with a smile, her tone carrying a hint of knowing the answer already.

"Didn't you kiss me first? What don't you want?"

Xu Yi was speechless when she asked him a question. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Seeing that Xu Yi remained silent, Su Qingluan chuckled and gently poked his head with her fingertip, her tone teasing.

"You used all your strength just now, didn't you?"

She paused, then slowly added...

"Judging from your expression, if you could, you'd want to bite me to death."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yi removed his hand from his mouth and took a few steps back.

"That's because you've been mocking me all along."

Su Qingluan raised an eyebrow, not bothering to argue with him further, her tone carrying a hint of nonchalant magnanimity.

"Fine, I'm in a good mood today and I'm too lazy to argue with you."

Then she changed the subject, lightly tapping his chest with her fingertip as a reminder.

"Don't forget, you still owe me a request."

After she finished speaking, she reached out and took the jade pendant that was hanging from her waist. She gently pinched the pendant with her fingertips and gave it a few instructions.

In a short while, three palace maids dressed in palace attire came quickly with trays on them, on which were placed several jugs of fine wine and exquisite cups.

They walked quietly to the stone table by the pond and carefully arranged the wine pot and cups.

After putting down his things, he bowed and quietly withdrew.

Su Qingluan's gaze fell on the wine pot on the stone table, and she reached out and took out the most exquisite jade pot from among the smaller ones.

She turned and handed the jade pot to Xu Yi, her phoenix eyes carrying a faint smile, and her tone unusually gentle.

"It tastes great."

Xu Yi lowered his gaze to the translucent white jade pot, his eyes filled with vigilance, his tone tinged with a helpless complaint.

"Have you forgotten my alcohol tolerance? I'm the type who gets knocked out after just one shot of strong liquor."

Su Qingluan chuckled softly upon hearing this, gently shaking the jade pot in her hand with her fingertips, her tone carrying a hint of coaxing.

"This is suitable for children, it's not strong, try it!"

As she spoke, she began to pour him a drink.

The more gently Su Qingluan coaxed Xu Yi to drink, the less Xu Yi wanted to drink; there was probably something wrong with the wine.
