"Who are you? How can you possess such terrifying combat power!" The shadowy figure clutched his wounded shoulder, staring at Bai Qinchen in astonishment.
Zhu Yue'e also stopped in her tracks, staring at Bai Qinchen in astonishment. She hadn't expected that Bai Qinchen would injure the shadowy figure with just one move.
No wonder this brat dared to lay a hand on me; he's powerful and fearless.
"Tell me, who are you? Why did you ambush us?" Zhu Yue'e asked fiercely to the shadowy figure without thinking. Her whole body exuded a terrifying aura that made people feel suffocated.
"Heh, you don't think I'm afraid of you just because of this, do you?" the shadowy figure sneered, looking completely fearless.
"Since you insist on courting death, then I will send you to your death." Zhu Yue'e coldly glanced at the shadowy figure, then waved her hand and grabbed out from a distance. In an instant, a vast suction force erupted.
"call out!"
Unaware of what was happening, the shadowy figure lost control of its body and drifted toward Zhu Yue'e's location.
"Damn it!" Feeling the terrifying suction force, the shadowy man cried out in alarm. The next moment, his neck was gripped by Zhu Yue'e, and he couldn't break free at all.
"Heh, even if you kill me, you won't know who the mastermind is, and you'll never find out." The shadowy figure sneered menacingly, his tone filled with madness and determination, as if he had long been prepared to die.
"If you want to die, then I'll grant your wish." Zhu Yue'e didn't care who the mastermind was at all.
She only wanted to kill him to prevent her relationship with Bai Qinchen from being exposed.
Zhu Yue'e suddenly increased the force in her hand, and the dark figure's face turned red, almost unable to breathe.
“Star Crown Martial Soul, it seems you must be from the Xu family, right?” Bai Qinchen stood beside Zhu Yue’e, looking at the shadowy figure, and frowned slightly.
In his memory, the Xu family, who seized the throne from the Dai family in the second part of Douluo Continent, had the Star Crown as their martial soul.
The shadowy figure, struggling to breathe under Zhu Yue'e's choking, his face flushed red, was terrified when Bai Qinchen guessed his identity. He exclaimed, "You..."
The shadowy figure tried to say something, but his neck was being choked, and he couldn't utter a sound.
"The Xu family?" Zhu Yue'e's small face showed a look of doubt as she recalled the families in Douluo Continent, trying to find the Xu family.
"We in the Star Luo Empire don't seem to have ever heard of the Xu family." After a moment, Zhu Yue'e still had no clue and shook her head.
“As far as I know, the Xu family has always coveted the Star Luo throne and has great ambitions.” Bai Qinchen nodded and said, “Their target is not us, but they want to use you to see if they can seize the throne.”
"With their nameless family, they dare to dream of seizing the throne? How laughable!" Zhu Yue'e sneered, her eyes filled with contempt.
"How many years has the Dai family sat on the throne of the Star Luo Empire? Do you think they can just take it away as they please?"
Bai Qinchen gently shook his head and said, "The Dai family has been sitting on this throne for too long and has offended countless nobles. They may not be acting strangely now, but once the Dai family falls into a disadvantageous position, they will definitely be attacked by all sides."
Centuries later, the throne of the Dai family was indeed taken away by the Xu family. If it weren't for Huo Yuhao's appearance, the Xu family would not have returned the throne to the Dai family.
Zhu Yue'e frowned slightly, clearly agreeing with Bai Qinchen's words.
"You're right." Zhu Yue'e nodded slightly, then tightened her grip, saying, "In that case, you have even less reason to live!"
"Pfft!" Zhu Yue'e's other hand pierced through the shadowy man's chest, and a splatter of scarlet blood landed on Zhu Yue'e's face.
Although Zhu Yue'e seemed powerless against Bai Qinchen, her ruthlessness and decisiveness were unparalleled.
"Uh..." The shadowy figure's eyes widened, pupils dilated, life force rapidly dissipated, and breathing ceased completely.
"Bang!" Zhu Yue'e flung her hand, scattering the shadowy figure's corpse.
It was thrown several meters away.
“My Empress, how could you do such a thing as murder yourself? Look, you’ve gotten your hands all dirty.” Bai Qinchen came to Zhu Yue’e’s side, gently took out a clean handkerchief, and lightly wiped the blood from Zhu Yue’e’s palms.
"I'm your personal bodyguard. Leave the killing to me," Bai Qinchen said with a smile as he wiped Zhu Yue'e's small hands.
"Hmph! If I don't show off, you'll really think I'm easy to bully and wouldn't dare to kill anyone?" Zhu Yue'e raised her delicate chin and huffed arrogantly.
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty is decisive and ruthless. I admire you greatly," Bai Qinchen chuckled, his face full of flattery.
Zhu Yue'e rolled her eyes at Bai Qinchen and snorted coldly, "Stop flattering me. Hurry up and dispose of that person's body, then we'll go back to the palace."
"What's wrong? You're not hunting anymore?" Bai Qinchen asked with a mischievous smile.
"I'm tired and want to go back and rest for a while." Zhu Yue'e stretched, her extremely charming curves perfectly displayed.
"Then after we get back, shall we...?" Bai Qinchen leaned closer, staring at Zhu Yue'e with a wicked smile.
Zhu Yue'e's face flushed red. She glared at Bai Qinchen and said angrily, "You scoundrel, don't even think about it!"
"That's deep inside the palace! How dare you try to do something bad there!" Zhu Yue'e said angrily, her pretty face flushed.
"Hey, hey, hey, this isn't right. On the palanquin, you were afraid of being discovered. In this forest, you're still afraid of being discovered. And you don't want your own palace. Are you playing me for a fool?" Bai Qinchen was furious when he heard this.
"I, I..." Zhu Yue'e stammered for a long time without coming up with a reason, and said angrily, "I just won't give you any, what can you do about it!"
"Well, you're actually cheating now! Let's see how I deal with you!" Bai Qinchen rolled up his sleeves, pretending to pounce.
Startled, Zhu Yue'e ran into the depths of the woods and disappeared in a flash.
"Hey, wait for me!" Bai Qinchen hurriedly chased after him inside.
"Hurry up and collect that man's body!" Zhu Yue'e shouted to Bai Qinchen from behind the bushes, then disappeared into the dense foliage.
Chapter 413 Tonight, I am the Emperor
"Your Majesty the Empress!" Zhu Yue'e and Bai Qinchen returned to the sedan chair, where the sedan chair bearers and palace maids all bowed respectfully.
They didn't care about the bloodstains on Zhu Yue'e's palace dress; after all, hunting inevitably leaves bloodstains, which is normal.
"Yes." Zhu Yue'e nodded slightly and said calmly, "Let's go back to the palace."
As they spoke, Zhu Yue'e and Bai Qinchen entered the sedan chair, and the sedan bearers lifted the chair and slowly left the forest.
After Bai Qinchen entered the sedan chair, he couldn't wait to embrace Zhu Yue'e.
"What are you doing?" Zhu Yue'e was startled, her pretty face instantly turning bright red. She said coquettishly, "Let me go!"
"Of course, it's to prepare for playing in your palace later." Bai Qinchen smiled wickedly, wrapping his arms around Zhu Yue'e's slender waist, giving her no chance to escape.
Zhu Yue'e's pretty face flushed, and she gently bit her cherry lips with her pearly teeth, whispering, "Don't do anything rash. If we make too much noise, they'll find out."
"Then let's keep things quiet," Bai Qinchen said with a wicked smile, then kissed Zhu Yue'e's sexy and alluring red lips, savoring her sweetness.
Zhu Yue'e had no choice but to comply, wrapping her arms around Bai Qinchen's neck and responding passionately.
After a long while, the two finally parted ways.
"Huff, huff, huff!" Zhu Yue'e breathed heavily, her pretty face flushed, and her watery eyes filled with a sense of intoxication and enjoyment.
Zhu Yue'e pursed her red lips, her beautiful eyes filled with a hint of resentment, and said reproachfully, "You only know how to bully me."
Bai Qinchen smiled slightly, stroked Zhu Yue'e's hair, and said, "It's because you're so beautiful that I can't help but want to bully you."
"Hmph!" Zhu Yue'e snorted and said with narrowed eyes, "Just bear with it a little longer, and you'll be back in the palace soon."
Zhu Yue'e knew she couldn't escape, so she simply gave up resisting and enjoyed Bai Qinchen's caresses.
"But I can't hold back anymore, what should I do?" Bai Qinchen grinned wickedly, his hands caressing Zhu Yue'e's body without restraint.
Zhu Yue'e's body suddenly became burning hot, and she collapsed into Bai Qinchen's arms.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Can't you even wait a little while?" Zhu Yue'e pouted and complained.
Zhu Yue'e looked somewhat helpless, sat up, took out the baguette, and gently held and stroked it with both hands.
"Let me help you relieve the discomfort first," Zhu Yue'e said, opening her small mouth to eat the baguette and savoring the cold bread.
She was genuinely afraid that Bai Qinchen would disregard everything and start playing with her inside the sedan chair.
This is a sedan chair; if there's too much noise, the sedan chair bearers will definitely notice something's wrong.
Bai Qinchen was thoroughly enjoying the services of Empress Zhu Yue'e, patting her head with his large hand in encouragement.
"Your Majesty, we've arrived at your palace." After an unknown amount of time, the palanquin finally returned to the palace, and a palace maid reminded them.
After a while, Zhu Yue'e, having straightened her clothes, stepped out of the sedan chair. She was no longer the charming woman she had been when eating the baguette; instead, she had reverted to her usual noble, aloof, and captivating demeanor.
"All of you, step back!" Zhu Yue'e ordered indifferently, then walked straight into the palace.
If she wanted to secretly play with Bai Qinchen, she definitely couldn't let anyone be near the palace.
After the palace maids left, Bai Qinchen did not rush into the palace. Instead, he pretended to patrol around the palace as a personal guard.
When it was almost time, Bai Qinchen, seeing that no one was paying attention to the palace, quietly slipped into it.
At this moment, Zhu Yue'e had finished bathing and was lying on the bed wearing a loose nightgown. Her fair and slender legs were exposed, smooth as silk, and very alluring.
Zhu Yue'e lay on her side with her back to the palace door, her sleeping posture elegant, her graceful body creating a perfect picture.
Zhu Yue'e also heard Bai Qinchen open the door, but she remained asleep and did not open her eyes to look at Bai Qinchen.
Her heart was pounding wildly; she was incredibly nervous.
After all, this was her palace, and what happened next there was going to be incredibly exciting.
Bai Qinchen tiptoed in, his gaze fixed on Zhu Yue'e's alluring figure, his eyes practically glued to her.
Bai Qinchen swallowed hard, his heart racing and his breathing becoming heavy.
"Yue'e, you are so beautiful!" Bai Qinchen's Adam's apple bobbed as he approached Zhu Yue'e step by step, gently caressing her graceful body.
Zhu Yue'e's body stiffened, her breathing became increasingly rapid, her pretty face flushed red, and she felt extremely uneasy.
"So beautiful! This beautiful empress will belong to me from now on." Bai Qinchen chuckled, leaning down to kiss Zhu Yue'e's delicate earlobe, and said gently, "Your Majesty, are you ready?"
Bai Qinchen held Zhu Yue'e in his arms and gently stroked her fair skin.
Zhu Yue'e took a deep breath, pursed her red lips, turned around, and looked at Bai Qinchen with resentful eyes, saying, "Are you sure you want to do this treasonous thing?"
Although she had already made up her mind, Zhu Yue'e was still very uneasy when she actually faced the situation.
Bai Qinchen chuckled, reached out and lifted Zhu Yue'e's delicate chin, saying, "I, Bai Qinchen, will never give up what I like. Tonight, I am His Majesty the Emperor!"
Zhu Yue'e sighed softly, closed her eyes, and said, "Since you insist on this, I will give in to you."
Now that things have come to this point, it's beyond her control. She can only accept her fate and this absurdity.
"Hehe!" Bai Qinchen chuckled triumphantly, bent down, and kissed Zhu Yue'e's small mouth, greedily savoring her fragrance.
"Rustling sound~" Bai Qinchen gently and slowly removed Zhu Yue'e's nightgown.
"So beautiful! I've finally seen Her Majesty the Empress at her most beautiful! Haha!" Bai Qinchen chuckled, his eyes burning as he stared at Zhu Yue'e.
Zhu Yue'e's body was as white as ivory, her skin was so delicate it seemed to break at a touch, and it emitted a faint, luminous glow.
Zhu Yue'e's pretty face flushed red, her cheeks burning as if they were being scalded.
Bai Qinchen gently kissed Zhu Yue'e's smooth and delicate skin, savoring the taste of her jade-like skin.
Because she had just finished bathing, Zhu Yue'e's body was filled with a rich, pleasant fragrance, which Bai Qinchen found extremely captivating.
"Stop tasting, hurry up and play if you want to," Zhu Yue'e urged, her pretty face flushed red with shyness.
Now that she had made up her mind, she didn't want to delay any longer. She thought it better to get Bai Qinchen done as soon as possible and leave her palace to avoid being discovered by others.
"It seems my Empress is quite anxious!" Bai Qinchen joked, leaning on the baguette as he arrived at the entrance of the Water Curtain Cave.
Zhu Yue'e watched helplessly as the baguette slowly ventured into the Water Curtain Cave.
"Wow, it's huge!" Zhu Yue'e exclaimed in surprise as she arched her back as the baguette had explored about a third of the way through.
"Stop, stop, stop! It's too big! Let me catch my breath!" Zhu Yue'e hugged Bai Qinchen's neck tightly and whispered in his ear.
"Okay." Bai Qinchen agreed affectionately, kissed Zhu Yue'e's small mouth, and comforted her with utmost tenderness, waiting for Zhu Yue'e to slowly get used to it.
Chapter 414 I am your queen
Deep within the imperial palace of the Star Luo Empire, in the Empress's chambers, Zhu Yue'e's high-pitched singing could be heard intermittently.
However, due to Zhu Yue'e's orders, there were no guards patrolling around the Empress's palace, nor were there any palace maids on standby.
No one knew what was happening in the Empress's palace at that moment, and no one would disturb Zhu Yue'e and Bai Qinchen's enjoyment.
"So amazing!" Zhu Yue'e nestled against Bai Qinchen's chest, wrapped her arms around his neck, and rested her cheek against his broad chest, saying sweetly, "Qinchen, you are so amazing. I have never been so happy before."
"How is it? Isn't it better than your emperor?" Bai Qinchen asked, holding Zhu Yue'e's soft body and kissing her smooth forehead.
"How can he compare to you?" Zhu Yue'e squirmed in Bai Qinchen's arms, looking completely intoxicated.
Bai Qinchen's strength gave her immense satisfaction and made her feel that her choice was right.
"From now on, you will be my Empress?" Bai Qinchen said with a smile to Zhu Yue'e.
Zhu Yue'e rubbed her head against Bai Qinchen's chest and said, "Yes! From now on, you're my man. As long as I have you to pamper and love me, that's enough for me."
Just a day ago, she could never have imagined that she would be completely won over by a young man and become his woman in just one day.
As the dignified Empress Xingluo, she willingly showed him her most beautiful side, even going so far as to flatter him, hoping to gain more of his affection.
