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

......

On Su Qingluan and Xu Yi's side.

Xu Yi's neck was throbbing painfully from being strangled, and in his rage, he couldn't help but curse.

"You pervert, you lunatic! Let go right now!"

Instead of relaxing, Su Qingluan chuckled softly, a languid satisfaction in her voice, her red lips brushing against Xu Yi's ear.

"Hmm... I feel so good about your insults."

Xu Yi was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode; this woman was simply unreasonable!

His eyes darted around, and he suddenly thought of something. Then he reached out and precisely attacked Su Qingluan's most ticklish spot on her waist.

The skin there was delicate and smooth. As soon as Xu Yi touched it, Su Qingluan's body trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but let out a soft groan. The force with which she was holding his neck subconsciously loosened a little.

Her breathing became rapid, and in her panting voice, there was even a hint of coquettishness.

"Stop scratching me, my sweetheart... Today is my birthday, and this is how you treat me?"

Xu Yi's fingers paused, and he softened his tone, which carried a hint of compromise.

"I'll stop scratching if you let go first."

Su Qingluan rested her chin on his shoulder, her hair brushing against his cheek.

"Then you must first grant me one unconditional request: you are not allowed to speak to other women from now on."

Xu Yi fell silent; this request was simply outrageous.

Seeing that he hadn't moved for a while, Su Qingluan couldn't help but shake him, her tone urging him on.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Xu Yi looked at her with an expression that seemed to say, "Didn't you tell me not to talk to women?"

"I'm referring to other women, not me!"

Xu Yi rolled his eyes and said helplessly.

"Aren't you being a little too possessive...? Can you please not be so extreme?"

Upon hearing this, Su Qingluan slowly loosened her grip on his neck, leaned back against the headboard, and spoke with a hint of nonchalance.

"Alright, Master won't force you anymore."

Anyway, we have plenty of time. Sooner or later, I will mold you into my own shape, so that you will only have eyes for me...

Xu Yi rubbed his reddened neck, about to complain a few words.

Then Su Qingluan's voice rang out again, her tone light and cheerful, with a hint of allure.

"Now, it's time to give you a reward."

Xu Yi looked at her suspiciously.

"What reward?"

Su Qingluan did not answer, but slowly raised her hand and untied the sash of her inner garment.

The plain-colored fabric slipped off her shoulders, revealing her fair skin and delicate bones.

Moonlight streamed through the window, falling on her and outlining her captivating curves.

Xu Yi's pupils contracted sharply at the sight before him, and his voice stammered.

"This, this is punishment! Not a reward!"

Su Qingluan forcefully wrapped her arms around Xu Yi's waist, pulling him into her embrace. Her phoenix eyes narrowed, revealing an undeniable dominance.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Xu Yi tried to struggle, but she held him tightly in her arms.

The moonlight outside the window gradually disappeared into the clouds, leaving only ambiguous breathing and soft moans in the bedchamber...

Time flies, and Xu Yi has spent thirty days in the dream world in the blink of an eye.

This time, he doesn't plan to leave the dream world; he plans to leave this world only after reaching the Quasi-Emperor realm.

Although Su Qingluan is good, she is too domineering and her possessiveness is terrifying. In the future, she may very well end up like Cheng Ge, with her head separated from her body.

If I am stronger than her, she will no longer be able to dominate me, although it may take a long time.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully survived for thirty days in the dream world. Do you wish to leave this world and inherit the realm?]

The cold system notification sounded in Xu Yi's mind without warning, interrupting his thoughts.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he asked the system in his mind in a deep voice.

"System, if I choose no, I can stay in this dream world, right?"

Yes, host. And I'll occasionally assign you some useful tasks; completing them will earn you generous rewards.

"it works?"

Xu Yi twitched his lips.

"It's all because of your pathetic charm stat that I've suffered so much!"

The thought of Su Qingluan's ever-increasing possessiveness in real life gave Xu Yi a headache.

He strongly suspects that the system is responsible for arbitrarily increasing charm points.

Forget it, he was too lazy to argue with this human.

I choose no.

After making his choice, he stayed outside alone for a long time before stepping into the palace.

On the soft couch in the bedroom, a snow-white ball of fur was curled up and sleeping soundly.

Xu Yi tiptoed over and picked up the little guy.

Xiao Baili was awakened by this sudden action, but she wasn't angry at all.

Instead, she lazily stretched and licked Xu Yi's cheek with her pink tongue.

As time went by, his bond with this little guy grew stronger and stronger.

However, as time went on, he became less and less willing to be emperor. It was too tiring. The longer he was emperor, the more he could empathize with Su Qingluan.

Xu Yi raised his hand and ruffled Bai Li's fluffy head, chuckling softly.

"Hey, Bai Li, why can your sister speak human language and transform into a human, but you can't?"

Bai Li shook her body in dissatisfaction, turning her little head to the side, her fluffy tail gently brushing against his wrist, as if in protest:

Don't compare me to that guy.

Xu Yi was amused by its proud and arrogant demeanor and couldn't help but pinch its soft ears.

"Haha, no, no, I won't compete."

Just then, the system notification sounded again.

[Ding! Main quest issued: Help Bai Li find its mother.]

[Reward for successful mission: Time in the dream world will accelerate, increasing from six times to eight times; one day in the outside world is equivalent to eight days in the dream world.]

Help Bai Li find her mother?

Xu Yi looked down at Bai Li.

He remembered Qingqing saying that Bai Li's mother was a descendant of the ancient mythical beast, the Celestial Fox...

Is it that easy to find?

Xu Yi planned to take Bai Li to Qingqing to ask, since having someone to relay messages would be more convenient.

Having made up his mind, Xu Yi stood up with Bai Li in his arms. He had only taken two steps when he felt a slightly cool hand gently touch his cheek.

Sigh, it must be Su Qingluan waking me up again.

[Ding! Interference with the host's external body has been detected. Preparing for forced detachment from the current world...]

He smiled helplessly, about to open his eyes and complain about her, when he was met with a pale, ghostly face.

It was a deathly pale, bluish-white face, with dark, hollow eyes staring straight at him.

Rotting lines covered his entire face, and his mouth stretched exaggeratedly to his ears.

Xu Yi gritted his teeth and forced himself not to cry out in panic.

Beneath that grotesque face lies Su Qingluan!

A few seconds later, the owner of the mask, seemingly not expecting the panic he had anticipated, impatiently removed the mask.

Revealing her stunningly beautiful face, Su Qingluan looked at Xu Yi, about to tease him.

"Tsk, you've gotten bolder..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Yi sprang up from the bed and retreated backward, using both hands and feet.

"Ah!!! Monsters and demons, get out of here!"

Su Qingluan's face darkened immediately, and she casually threw the mask away.

"What do you mean? Do you think I'm more frightening than a ghost?"
