Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

Yunli, the capital city of Jing'an.

The afternoon sun shines on the rooftops of the magnificent palace complex, further highlighting the vibrant vitality of the newly established dynasty.

Inside the Taiji Hall, civil and military officials sat clearly separated on either side of a long table, discussing in hushed tones the upcoming Northern Expedition.

Sitting on the throne, Jiang Wanzhao flipped through the intelligence reports sent back by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, her eyes filled with thought.

After deciding to launch the war, the established imperial machinery began to operate in this direction. With everyone united, Jiang Wanzhao did not feel that the Northern Expedition would be difficult.

After all, the Star Realm is involved in the war between the Vampires and the Skywing Clan, and under such circumstances, it is impossible for the Skywing Clan not to put pressure on their biggest rival, the Demon Clan.

Based on this, the Qiming Realm north of Longxing Island was left with only demonic beasts and beastmen.

Both monsters and orcs are races that believe in their own brute strength. To deal with such races that have no technological foundation, a missile strike would be enough to inflict heavy casualties on them.

Before the demon race provides any resources, we must finish this quickly!

"Your Majesty," Liu Ying said in a low voice, bowing, "the first Heavenly Cup in the Apocalypse Island Super Intelligent Equation Competition was taken by a True Ancestor of the Vampire race."

"A vampire?" Jiang Wanzhao raised an eyebrow: "Where did you get that ability!"

Liu Ying carefully chose her words and said, "There were many witnesses at the scene, and several Saint-level powerhouses died..."

"I understand." Jiang Wanzhao nodded, neither confirming nor denying.

She didn't believe that the true progenitor of the vampires could brazenly steal a Cup of Heaven from Apocalypse Island.

Jiang Wanzhao believed that vampires had this ability, but she did not believe that a true ancestor could have such an ability.

Therefore, the person who stole the Heaven's Cup is most likely his own beloved younger brother, disguised as a vampire.

There is no other possibility!

Seeing that His Majesty did not believe her, Liu Ying did not say anything more, but instead said, "Your Majesty, it has been an hour. Should we call him?"

Liu Ying lowered her eyelids slightly, thinking to herself that His Majesty's possessiveness towards Li Xingzhou was far too strong.

When he was by His Majesty's side, he was reminded to call Li Xingzhou every hour.

Of course, whether or not to fight in the end is His Majesty's decision.

"Time flies..."

Liu Ying pursed her lips and remained silent, thinking to herself, "With the abilities of cultivators these days, what's an hour?"

Your Majesty should remind him every other day; that would be more reasonable.

"Would you like to get a call?"

Jiang Wanzhao hesitated for a few seconds. Although it was still daytime and Xing Zhou had only taken the Heavenly Cup not long ago, he should be using it to find the Heavenly Cup that was opposite to Yin and Yang, so he wouldn't be looking for his daughter.

but……

What if?

Jiang Wanzhao took out her phone, a thought flashing through her mind: Xingzhou is collecting the Heavenly Cup for her, would calling him disturb him?

Will he find it unpleasant?

Shouldn't we trust ourselves a little more?

While pondering, Jiang Wanzhao opened Jiang Xuetang's chat interface.

Jiang Xuetang is the champion of the Super Intelligent Equation competition. The Tianzhi Cup should have been hers, so asking her will solve the problem.

At this time, Jiang Xuetang should be at a fan meeting or celebration party.

Jiang Wanzhao accepted the video call invitation.

······

The sweet fragrance permeated every corner of the bedroom. Without the air conditioning on, the whole room felt like a sauna, filled with a damp smell.

On the soft bed, Li Xingzhou was covered in sweat, looking as if he was savoring the moment. Jiang Xuetang, lying on her back, had her thick, black hair disheveled.

Her fine, dark hair clung to her snowy cheeks, pointed chin, jade-like neck, and fragrant shoulders. The moist sheen of her sweat gave her skin a radiant glow, as if she had applied a delicate layer of oil to every inch of her alabaster skin, adding a touch of rosy blush that was utterly alluring.

A pair of long, slender, snow-white arms, like willow branches without a core, draped over Li Xingzhou's shoulders and neck. With her slender neck slightly tilted back, she willingly welcomed Li Xingzhou's kiss.

They were inseparable, whispering sweet nothings to each other.

Unwittingly, a strand of dark, glossy hair became entwined around the corner of their mouths, inseparable.

A pair of long, slender, alabaster legs were spread apart on either side, her toes curling around the sheets with a hint of weakness and tension, the graceful arches of her feet faintly visible.

"Xingzhou...I love you so much..."

A voice, seemingly murmuring in a dream, escaped Jiang Xuetang's throat, carrying both joy and alluring temptation: "Do you love me?"

"like……"

"Then let me feel... how you love me, okay?"

Jiang Xuetang hugged Li Xingzhou tightly from behind. Although she couldn't bear to scratch him with her fingernails, her soft fingertips still left red marks.

"call……"

As his disordered breathing gradually calmed down, Li Xingzhou embraced Jiang Xuetang's beautiful back, pressed his nose against her cheek, and inhaled the fragrance emanating from her body, a scent mixed with the aroma of her hair, finding it exceptionally intoxicating.

"very nice……"

Tears welled up in Jiang Xuetang's eyes, which were tinged with a peach-pink hue, and she couldn't help but let them slide down her cheeks. She hugged Li Xingzhou even tighter and murmured, "I like you so much..."

Li Xingzhou turned to lie down on his side, pulled her into his arms, gently stroked her back, and kissed her forehead without saying a word.

"If only I had told you sooner..." Jiang Xuetang, having recovered, snuggled into his arms, "I should have confessed to you sooner, so I could have enjoyed it sooner."

"Then why not be honest?" Li Xingzhou smiled. "Even with her there, you could still secretly tell me, couldn't you?"

Jiang Xuetang stuck out her tongue: "I don't know either... Maybe I just wanted to see when you could recognize me?"

She tilted her head back: "Wasn't it a pleasant surprise to find out you already knew me?"

"That's not necessarily true." Li Xingzhou patted her shoulder: "I will always be on guard against you. After all, there's no smoke without fire when it comes to being helpful."

“Hehe, I’m the former.” Jiang Xuetang said smugly, “No, the latter is too, I’m going to steal your heart.”

She paused, then drew circles on Li Xingzhou's chest with her index fingertip and whispered, "Even if it's just a little bit, I'll steal it."

Jiang Xuetang thought to herself, she didn't crave Li Xingzhou's complete love, but as long as she was obedient and sensibly charming, he would definitely love her a little more...

hum~

I'm so smart!

Li Xingzhou looked down into her watery, peach-blossom eyes: "Then congratulations?"

"Congratulations!" Jiang Xuetang raised an eyebrow smugly, then changed the subject: "Can you tell me who else you've learned from?"

"Ok?"

"You're too skilled!" Jiang Xuetang scoffed. "Don't think I can't tell. You're very skilled... I didn't teach you that much 'knowledge'."

"Guess," Li Xingzhou said with a smile, "Let's see if you can guess it, and if you guess correctly."

"I won't guess." Jiang Xuetang snorted, "So that when I get home, Wanzhao won't secretly read my dreams."

Li Xingzhou couldn't help but hug Jiang Xuetang even tighter. Who wouldn't like such a sensible girl?

"It's okay, I can tell you secretly..."

"I won't listen then." Jiang Xuetang quickly covered her ears: "I won't listen until you've settled things with Wanzhao, I won't listen!"

"Never stop?"

"I won't listen!"

"Then I'll continue." Li Xingzhou rolled over and pinned Jiang Xuetang down again.

Jiang Xuetang's face paled slightly: "So urgent? Let's rest a little longer..."

Li Xingzhou looked at her with a smile: "I won't listen."

"Wait, wait a minute, let me rest a bit more..."

Jiang Xuetang shoved Li Xingzhou's shoulder, her peach blossom eyes widening involuntarily: "Wait, wait..."

buzzing-

The phone vibrated, accompanied by a video call invitation, in the living room. Jiang Xuetang's expression changed slightly, and she quickly got up, supporting herself on the bed: "It's probably Wanzhao..."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and the phone flew into her hand in a flash. Looking at the video call invitation on the screen, she said somewhat flusteredly, "It really is Wan Zhao!"

"You go out first, I...I..."

Jiang Xuetang looked left and right, got out of bed and wanted to rush to the bathroom, but as soon as her feet touched the ground, she staggered uncontrollably and felt a pain.

Li Xingzhou quickly grabbed her arm: "Slow down, no rush, can't you be okay?"

"I don't want to rush things either, but that's just her personality."

As Jiang Xuetang spoke, Li Xingzhou carried her directly into the bathroom, closed the door, and returned to the second bedroom to clean up the traces.

What if Jiang Wanzhao wants Jiang Xuetang to film a video for inspection?

in the bathroom.

After quickly washing herself in the shower, Jiang Xuetang connected to the video call.

"Xuetang, what are you doing?"

"I'm taking a shower, what else could I be doing? Are you suggesting I flirt with Xingzhou?"

Jiang Xuetang straightened her phone: "Of course I have to take a shower after the competition, otherwise it's uncomfortable to be covered in sweat."

"Oh right, the Heaven's Cup... you know what I mean, I won't say more, congratulations."

Jiang Xuetang tried to divert Jiang Wanzhao's attention by actively bringing up a topic.

······

Chapter 114 Jiang Yingluo: Now, immediately, go home right now!

Looking at Jiang Xuetang in the video, her long hair damp and shrouded in mist, Jiang Wanzhao thought to herself that her guess was right; the Heaven's Cup had indeed been stolen by Xingzhou.

I do know a lot about sailing!
