Elevator Dimension Line

Hoshimi Miyabi then thought of Saeko Busujima, Tomoko Sagiri, Seitenshi, Ayame Yomogawa, and others.

But then she shook her head. She didn't even need to ask. They certainly wouldn't become emperors. The Holy Emperor and Changpu were already emperors in their own world, which was enough to keep them busy.

As for Yako and Yuko, they didn't care about these high positions at all. It wasn't that they looked down on them or were afraid of trouble; they simply didn't want to. Both of them, like Tantai Ye, possessed divine status, so they preferred cultivation to governing the world. Besides, they also had a lot of things to do in their own worlds.

If you're just coming to help out, staying for a while is fine, but if you're going to be stationed here long-term, that won't do.

"Hehehe! Don't know who to choose?" Tantai Ye laughed at Xingya's conflicted expression.

"Everyone seems to have their own things to do. I can't think of anyone who would stay here long-term," Hoshimi Miyabi said somewhat dejectedly.

"Have you forgotten about your sister who is the one you know best?" Tantai Ye couldn't help but remind her.

Hoshimi Miyabi was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant and sat up abruptly, excitedly saying, "You mean, Arisa Kōhōin!"

Tantai Ye smiled and nodded.

Hoshimi Miyabi's eyes lit up. "That's right! Arisa has already handed over the current factory to her grandfather, and Kaiyuan Department Store has also been entrusted to a professional manager. She's just staying behind the scenes, so she has plenty of time now. She even told me last time that she wanted to help you with your mission... I'll go find her now!"

As Hoshimi Miya was about to get up, Tantai Ye pulled her back down.

"It's so late, let's get some rest. We won't be back until tomorrow!"

Hoshimi Miyabi lay on that burning hot body, her fox ears visible, drooping softly.

The night was past midnight, not long, but enough for a whining little creature to please her master...

The next morning!

Footsteps echoed in the courtyard corridor of the inn, as people got up, while outside the window, separated by a wall, the street began its morning hustle and bustle: greetings, shouts, peddler's calls, and the creaking of passing carriages.

A pair of fox ears peeked out from under the thin blanket covering Tantai Ye's chest, and after a few shakes, a head with slightly messy hair also emerged.

Looking up at that captivating profile, Hoshimi Miya couldn't resist leaning in and giving the other person a light kiss on the chin.

Gently crawling out of bed, she put on her undergarments, then her kimono, before carrying the wooden basin out of the room.

On the corridor,

"Good morning, madam. How did you sleep last night?" The innkeeper greeted her from his courtyard.

"Good morning! We had a good rest. Thank you for your hospitality last night, boss," Hoshimi Masashi said politely.

"Of course, of course. Please feel free to stay here. If you need anything, just let me know," the owner said warmly.

He couldn't be unenthusiastic; the other party had given him so much—the most generous benefactor he'd encountered all year.

"I need to get some water!" Hoshimi Miyabi nodded.

"Oh! There's a well on the right side of the courtyard outside, but there are many people drawing water right now, as everyone has just gotten up. If you're in a hurry, Madam, there's also water in the water tank in the backyard," the shopkeeper said.

"I'd better go to the well to fetch water!"

After finishing her sentence, Hoshimi Miya carried the wooden basin to the front yard. The shopkeeper watched her leave with envy. Only the perfect man from last night could be worthy of such a heavenly beauty.

Upon arriving at the front yard, a well stood in the open space by the right wall. Five women were already queuing around it, and I recognized two of them—the geishas from last night. They were both employed by the inn, but neither of them was wearing makeup. They looked much more innocent and pure than when they were heavily made up yesterday, and they must be young girls.

"Madam! Are you here to fetch water too?"

One of the two geishas greeted Hoshimi Masaharu as well.

Hoshimi Miyabi smiled and nodded.

Just then, a "Huh?" came from the main gate of the courtyard.

Hoshimi Miyabi looked over at the sound and saw a samurai who had just entered the courtyard. He looked at her in surprise, but when he saw that she was looking over as well, he quickly looked away.

Hoshimi Miya didn't recognize the person who came. She only glanced at them and then stopped paying attention. However, she was even more certain that the person's "Eh?" was directed at her, which meant that the person knew her.

Sure enough, the samurai didn't even go into the inn. After seeing Hoshimi Miyabi, he turned around and walked away.

Hoshimi Masayuki didn't care. After the two geishas gave her their seats, she simply fetched some water and went back to her room.

Inside the room, Tantai Ye had already gotten up and was sitting somewhat lazily at the low table.

For him, sleep is something that is optional; even if he doesn't sleep at all, it won't cause him any problems.

However, he deliberately retained the two greatest characteristics of being human: eating delicious food and sleeping in late. Moreover, he suppressed himself in these aspects, trying to act like an ordinary person, because only in that way could he appreciate the beauty of life.

Seeing Tantai Ye's lazy appearance, Hoshimi Ya smiled knowingly. If it were someone else, such a lazy appearance would inevitably be disliked by someone like Hoshimi Ya who likes to work hard, and they might not even give her a friendly look.

But Tantai Ye was different; even if he was as lazy as a lump of mud, she still found him endlessly charming.

Perhaps this is a case of beauty being in the eye of the beholder!

She personally washed and wiped Tantai Ye's face, just like taking care of a baby. After finishing these tasks, she folded the quilt and tidied the bed... She is truly a virtuous wife.

Tantai Ye looked at Xing Jianya's slender yet graceful waist and her long, straight black hair that swayed from time to time, and a warm smile appeared on her lips.

"Phew! It's done. Even though it's just a temporary place, I still need to tidy it up a bit." Hoshimi Miyabi said with a sense of accomplishment.

"It's just a hotel, you can let the staff here clean it up, why do you have to do it yourself!" Tantai Ye said, puzzled.

“I don’t like the way those people tidied up. I specifically told the boss to tidy up the room myself, especially the bedding. These are our own things, and we can’t let outsiders touch them,” said Hoshimi Masashi.

“Then it seems we need to speed things up and move into the Imperial Palace as soon as possible; that will be our home from now on,” Tantai Ye said with a smile.

"That's best!"

After saying that, Hoshimi Miyabi chuckled.

"If Emperor Go-Mizunoo knew that someone was eyeing his residence, I wonder how he would feel!"

"That's only a matter of time, but I'm thinking about something right now. Edo, we haven't been there yet. It's a big city, quite prosperous, and it also has a royal residence. So, do you think we should stay here or stay in Edo?"
