Women disguised as men went to the battlefield and the emperor bowed down in submission.

Lin Ruoshui returned to her bedroom and opened the closet to look for clothes.

Xuanyuan Yu swept her away like a gust of wind and led her to the couch.

"Let's continue," Xuanyuan Yu pleaded.

"What should I do if I'm a little tired?" Lin Ruoshui said, her tone infuriating.

"I beg you," Xuan Yuan Yu said, setting aside his pride.

"What if I say no?" Lin Ruoshui asked.

"Do you want to die?" Xuan Yuan Yu threatened.

Lin Ruoshui trembled and said, "Your Highness, please spare my life."

Xuanyuan Yu said with satisfaction, "Okay, let's begin."

Let's begin... Lin Ruoshui has regretted her actions today for a long time, and Xuan Yuanyu has become addicted to the pleasure.

She felt she should slap herself for that mouth; she shouldn't have had the first time. Once there was a first time, there would be countless times. Lin Ruoshui was heartbroken!

Lin Ruoshui was originally going to talk to Chu Xiao about their trip to the western border, but when she said she was thirsty and asked Biyu to bring her a cup of tea, Biyu saw Lin Ruoshui's swollen, sausage-like lips and stumbled, spilling the tea all over the floor.

Lin Ruoshui, with her sausage lips, asked, "Biyu, what happened to your leg? Are you injured?"

Biyu composed herself and stammered, "Princess, I'm fine, but your lips..."

Lin Ruoshui looked down and was shocked to see her own lips!

Enraged, she jumped up and pointed at Xuan Yuan Yu, who had just put on his outer robe, saying, "It's all your fault!"

Xuanyuan Yu was speechless. He glanced at Biyu, who was pretending to be a block of wood. He grinned and said, "I'll go find Physician Li right now to get the ointment. The swelling will definitely go down by the afternoon."

Lin Ruoshui roared and kicked Xuan Yuan Yu out of the Lingyu Palace.

Xuanyuan Yu felt Lin Ruoshui's kick, which carried a fragrant breeze, happiness, and his soaring mood. He happily endured it, finding it sweet. He turned around, blinked, and said to Lin Ruoshui, "I will definitely heal you as quickly as possible..."

After hearing this, Lin Ruoshui suddenly felt that having sausage lips was quite nice and safe.

Xuanyuan Yu brought back a secret anti-inflammatory and analgesic ointment made by Physician Li from the Imperial Physician's Office. After applying it, it felt cool and refreshing, and the swelling in her lips subsided after two hours.

Xuanyuan Yu gently kissed the corner of her lips with his cool, thin lips.

Lin Ruoshui straightened her clothes and said, "I'm going to find my brother and tell him about going to the western border."

……

Lin Ruoshui arrived at Chu Xiao's Longxi Palace without having Zhang Quan announce her arrival. To her surprise, her brother was taking a bath. Lin Ruoshui walked in without paying any attention.

Chu Xiao, who was soaking naked in the hot spring, hurriedly covered his chest.

Lin Ruoshui sat on a chair by the hot spring pool and said, "Brother, I have something to tell you."

Seeing that Lin Ruoshui had no regard for the boundaries between men and women, Chu Xiao felt both ashamed and embarrassed. He felt guilty for neglecting his sister all these years, as she didn't treat him like a woman at all.

Thinking of this, his eyes welled up with tears, and he said gently to Lin Ruoshui, "Sister, what is it? You go out first, and we'll talk after I've gotten dressed."

"No need, you take your bath, I'll talk about mine." Lin Ruoshui crossed her legs and watched the handsome man taking a bath, feeling very happy.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Chu Xiao asked, puzzled.

"I'll tell you a secret, a secret about me and Xuanyuan Yu," Lin Ruoshui said, keeping everyone in suspense.

Upon hearing Xuan Yuan Yu's name, Chu Xiao immediately frowned.

What secrets could you possibly have?

“Brother, do you know why I let Xuanyuan Yu live in Lingyu Palace? Because our souls are exchanged every day…” Lin Ruoshui said.

Chu Xiao seemed not to understand, and he pressed on, "What do you mean by daily soul exchange?"

"That means every morning when I wake up, Chu Xiao will be inside me, and I will be inside him. We can only be in the water... cough cough." Lin Ruoshui coughed twice.

The parts unsuitable for children have been omitted. "Our souls will only be restored if we soak in the water together."

If we don't deliberately switch back, I will always be Xuanyuan Yu, and Xuanyuan Yu will always be me.

Brother, do you understand what I'm saying? It may seem unbelievable, but it's true.

Chu Xiao, whose skin was fair and rosy from being nourished by the hot spring water, found Lin Ruoshui's words hard to believe.

"Don't disbelieve me, brother. Xuanyuan Yu is going to the front lines now, and I have to go with him. Otherwise, we'll switch back the next day at dawn, and I'll be the one fighting on the front lines!" Lin Ruoshui looked at Chu Xiao with an extremely formal and serious expression.

After a long pause, Chu Xiao finally processed Lin Ruoshui's words. He asked, "When did it start?"

"After returning to the capital from Xuanyuan Yu, I was shot down into the moat by an assassin. It was Xuanyuan Yu who jumped into the moat to save me. Then our souls were swapped. It took us three days to find a way to temporarily switch back. Brother, I am also very distressed, but I must go with Xuanyuan Yu. The Xuanyuan Army needs him, the people need him, and the Chishui Kingdom needs him too."

Chu Xiao lowered his head in thought and said to Lin Ruoshui, "Sister, don't worry. I'll write a letter and send it to the Immortal Emblem Realm as soon as possible to ask my master if he has a solution."

"Okay, you ask first, we'll set off first. If you find a way, let me know when we get to the western border. I look forward to the day we can completely switch back. I don't want to be a man! I just want to be my brother's little princess." Lin Ruoshui started to act coquettishly as she spoke.

Chu Xiao smiled knowingly and said, "I'll always have my brother here for me!"

After Lin Ruoshui finished speaking, she stood up, walked closer to Chu Xiao, and then winked at him with a smile, saying, "Brother, take your time washing up. I'm leaving now."

Chu Xiao shook his head and chuckled helplessly, then his face darkened as if he had thought of something.

……

Baili Heng was sent back to Wuling, the capital of Lanling Kingdom. When King Baili Yi of Lanling Kingdom heard the news that the crown prince had been seriously injured, he slammed his fist on the table and made up his mind to go to war with Chishui Kingdom.

Injuring their crown prince was a blatant provocation to the Lanling Kingdom. He said, "Those who offend Lanling, no matter how far away, will be punished."

Baili Heng was struck by Xuan Yuan Yu's sword, but he did not die. Because his heart was on the right side, he was only seriously injured. While he was unconscious, the Lanling Kingdom delegation quickly withdrew from Chishui Kingdom. Along the way, they were ambushed by assassins arranged by Xuan Yuan Yu. Of the three hundred people in the delegation, only a little over one hundred people returned to Lanling Kingdom.

After regaining consciousness, Baili Heng said to the emperor, "If the Chishui Kingdom agrees to one condition, we will not go to war."

Baili Yi asked, "What are the conditions?"

"If Chu Xiao is willing to marry his own sister Chu Ying to me, we will not pursue the matter of seriously injuring me," Baili Heng said, his face pale.

Baili Yi was shocked. His cold-hearted, ruthless son had suddenly become enlightened after a trip to Chishui Kingdom and had fallen in love with women.

So he happily bestowed ten beauties upon Baili Heng, who accepted them all.

When the court officials heard that the Crown Prince had become enlightened and no longer rejected women, they all sent their daughters to the Crown Prince's residence, hoping that their daughters would live up to his expectations, win his favor, and bring glory to their families.

Baili Heng returned to the Crown Prince's residence for a month and took in a total of 203 women. The steward couldn't understand why the Crown Prince, who had always been indifferent to women, was now accepting all women.

Every night, the Crown Prince would summon ten women, each one a beauty of unparalleled grace and alluring charm, the kind of woman any man would find attractive.

But Baili Heng was different; he was making an attempt to see if any woman could replace Lin Ruoshui.

As the beauties came to his room one by one, all Baili Heng saw were disgusting bodies. Sometimes he would vomit from looking at them, but he was still unwilling to give up. He wanted to see all 203 women before he could believe that in this world, he could only have a reaction and feeling for Lin Ruoshui.

And so it went every night: beautiful women of all shapes and sizes would enter the Crown Prince's bedchamber, only to have their throats slit and be carried to the mass grave.

Finally, Baili Heng believed that he only loved Lin Ruoshui and that no one could replace her.

Even if he closes his eyes every night and imagines what she looks like, his heart will still be filled with excitement.

Baili Heng's eyes grew even deeper and darker. He was determined to have Lin Ruoshui. He would use every means and method to bring her to him, to get her close to him, and to make her give everything for him.

Baili Heng spent every night alone in a state of madness.
