Chapter 41: Showdown Between Juice Extractors
“By the way, how does Master Chen Xi know me?”
“Silly child, your father told me about you, of course.”
“Oh.”
“Yan Yan, you shouldn’t even be born yet at this time. How did you travel back?”
“I came back with Mother. I don’t know the details.”
— So the Serpent Queen is also reborn? Zhen’er probably doesn’t know yet. It seems she’s deliberately hiding it. Otherwise, Yan Yan would have told him.
Chen Xi pondered this.
— Why have all the women connected to Zhen’er been reborn? First me, then Ji Ya and Xian’er, then Jiu Youyue and Yun Xiu, and now not only the Serpent Queen, but even her unborn daughter has traveled back in time.
She didn’t believe this was a coincidence. There had to be a reason.
— Could it be… Zhen’er himself?
As far as she knew, only an Emperor realm expert could achieve this.
Among all the experts in the Mystic Heaven Continent, including herself, none had been able to reach the Emperor realm. Only Yan Zhen had succeeded.
But why would he do this?
And if he was responsible, why didn’t he have any memories of it?
It seemed she would have to talk to the Serpent Queen and Zi Xunyi.
But before that, she had to compare Yan Yan’s memories with her own, to see if there were any discrepancies.
“Yan Yan, can you tell me some things about the ‘future’?”
“Okay! I’ll tell you about our big adventure!”
“…”
…
Back in the palace, in the Serpent Queen’s bedchamber, Yun Xiu and the Serpent Queen sat on opposite sides of the bed, their arms crossed, glaring at each other.
Suddenly, the crystal pendant between them glowed brightly, and Yan Zhen appeared on the bed.
They were about to speak, but he was already fast asleep, his breathing deep and even. It wasn’t an act.
His sleeping face, innocent and peaceful, like a child’s, calmed their hearts.
Their competitive spirit faded.
“…”
After a moment of silence, the Serpent Queen removed her shoes, climbed onto the bed, adjusted his sleeping position, then pulled the blanket over them, snuggling against him, closing her eyes.
Yun Xiu, seeing this, also got into bed, lying on his other side, pulling one of his arms into her embrace.
Cultivators at the Mystic General realm and above could control their sleep, entering a deep sleep to quickly recover their energy. They both quickly drifted off.
…
Yan Zhen woke up before dawn.
He had already slept once, eaten his fill, and… released his energy. He should be feeling refreshed, but Chen Xi had used her Spiritual Power to induce sleep.
He blinked, remembering hearing Yan Yan’s voice while he was acting spoiled with his Beautiful Sect Master. Had he been imagining things?
It must have been his imagination. After all, the Fire Refining Starry Sky wasn’t easily accessible. He had to either bring someone in or obtain Chen Xi’s permission.
And then there was the current situation—
Yun Xiu and the Serpent Queen were sleeping beside him, one holding his arm, the other snuggled against him. Even without moving, he could feel their soft, warm bodies.
Their fragrances, one light and delicate, the other rich and intoxicating, surrounded him, distinct and separate.
He swallowed, his “dragon,” already energetic in the morning, now fully aroused.
If it were just one of them, he wouldn’t be able to resist a “morning workout,” but with both of them… he couldn’t handle that right now.
“…Finally decided to wake up?”
Her voice was laced with a hint of drowsiness, but he sensed a slight… unhappiness in her tone. He feigned ignorance.
“When did I… come out? I was learning how to draw the Water Rune with Master…”
“You were already asleep when you came out.” She propped herself up on her elbow, her lips close to his ear. “Now, both Yun Xiu and I are sleeping beside you. Are you feeling proud of yourself?”
He quickly shook his head.
Her other hand snaked downwards, her slender fingers wrapping around his… aroused dragon, her voice soft and low.
“Then why is this… naughty thing… so… energetic?”
He mumbled, “It’s just a natural reaction.”
She smirked.
“Not because you’re a pervert?”
He shook his head again, but she didn’t believe him.
“You are.”
She leaned closer, capturing his lips in a kiss, her long tongue invading his mouth.
He couldn’t resist, quickly losing himself in her passionate embrace, his tongue entwining with hers.
Then her voice echoed in his mind.
“Yun Xiu is awake. She’s watching us.”
— What?!
He opened his eyes, glancing at Yun Xiu, finding her breathing slightly erratic. She was indeed awake.
He tried to pull away, but the Serpent Queen was faster, her arm tightening around his neck, her body pressing down on his, her other hand expertly teasing his… dragon.
“Mmm…”
He let out a muffled cry, but she showed no mercy, her touch intensifying, until his body went limp, his struggles ceasing.
She lifted her hand, the white… essence, gathered by her Mystic Power, forming a small pearl, which she swallowed, licking her lips.
She sat up, smoothing her hair, her voice a taunt.
“There’s still some left. I saved it for you, Palace Master Yun.”
Yun Xiu opened her eyes, glaring at the hateful Serpent Queen, wanting to slap her.
The Serpent Queen chuckled coldly.
“What? Are you afraid? I’ve… serviced him many times before.”
Yun Xiu bit her lip, then said resolutely, “I-I don’t want… your leftovers! I’ll do it myself!”
She mimicked the Serpent Queen’s earlier actions, one arm around his neck, her lips claiming his, her other hand reaching beneath the covers.
Although she hadn’t learned any special techniques like Delicate Finger Manipulation, she had also… serviced him in her past life. She knew his weaknesses, his preferences.
He hadn’t expected this from her, struggling and protesting.
Normally, she would be gentle and considerate, but now, provoked by the Serpent Queen, she ignored his protests, her touch firm and demanding, until he released his… essence, which she then gathered with her Mystic Power, forming a small pill, swallowing it with her eyes closed.
The Serpent Queen’s face darkened. Yun Xiu’s… tolerance was far greater than she had expected.
It had taken her a long time to get used to sharing him with Zi Xunyi in their past life. How could Yun Xiu handle it so easily? It wasn’t fair!
Yun Xiu was also surprised. The Serpent Queen, so proud and aloof, was willing to go this far for him. It seemed she didn’t just marry him because of their daughter. She truly loved him.
“…”
He, watching the two women glaring at each other, felt his legs aching.
