The Emperor, with more men than women, made me his mistress.

Let Shao Qi learn to wield the spirit sword on his own in the valley. Yue Li accompanied Jin Chenyuan into the newly cleaned cave. They didn't plan to stay there for too long, so after cleaning the cave with a cleaning spell, they simply laid out a few furs on the ground and took out a meditation cushion. Yue Li then began to teach Jin Chenyuan how to convert the spiritual energy in his dantian into liquid.

Seeing that Jin Chenyuan had already entered a state of absorption after taking the first dose of the Spirit Marrow Liquid, Yue Li sat opposite him and took out the spirit stones from her spatial storage to slowly absorb the essence.

She doesn't need to advance quickly now; what she needs is a solid foundation. Every time they meet, Sheng Yifan gives her several bottles of the collected spiritual essence liquid.

There's also the spirit essence liquid that Jin Chenyuan and Jin Jinxuan collected from jadeite containing spirit essence liquid, which they had their subordinates secretly purchase from other countries. When they went to Linfang Prefecture last time, Feng Yuanxi took out two bottles of spirit essence liquid.

Aside from Feng Yuanxi's, which she didn't take, she now has more than 20 bottles of Spirit Essence Liquid in her space, including the ones she collected while traveling.

So she doesn't lack cultivation resources right now, but she's worried that her foundation might be unstable when she advances to the Golden Core stage, and something unexpected might happen.

After all, the Golden Core stage is not like the Foundation Establishment stage, which can be advanced casually; it requires going through a tribulation of lightning.

If your foundation is unstable, you won't be able to advance to the Golden Core stage in one fell swoop; otherwise, you'll be struck by lightning and reduced to nothing.

That's why she's using spirit stones to slowly absorb and solidify her foundation, instead of using spirit marrow liquid to advance her rank.

As the night passed, Yue Li opened her eyes from her cultivation. The spirit stone she held in her hand had turned to ashes due to the loss of spiritual energy. Looking at Jin Chenyuan, who was still sitting cross-legged opposite her in a state of cultivation, and sensing that his aura was stable, Yue Li stood up and stretched her limbs. She then activated the defensive array plate that they had set up when they entered, and before leaving, she left a trace of her divine sense in the array plate so that she could sense it when Jin Chenyuan woke up and touched it.

After leaving the cave, he put the defensive array plate back in place and slowly walked out of the cave into the valley.

"Ah Yue!" Shao Qi, who was practicing controlling his spirit sword, noticed Yue Li's figure and immediately ran over with his sword.

"How are you feeling?" As he walked towards her, she was dressed in a magnificent blue robe, her hair tied up with a jade crown, and a radiant smile on her face. In the rising sun, her handsome features were even more dazzling and pleasing to the eye.

"Sigh! I still can't control it." Shao Qi's face immediately fell when he said this.

Controlling a flying sword is too difficult; it's much harder than learning to use spiritual energy to leap across rooftops and walls.

Yue Li was amused by Shao Qi's ever-changing expressions.

"Ah Yue, you're making fun of me. Am I still your favorite person?" Shao Qi wasn't embarrassed by Yue Li's laughter. Instead, he put his spirit sword into his storage bag and buried his face in Yue Li's chest, rubbing against her and acting like a spoiled child.

So soft and fragrant.

This feeling reached the depths of his heart, so his movements became even more exaggerated. He wrapped his arms around Yue Li's soft waist, wishing he could just crawl into that soft mound.

At first, Yue Li didn't notice the problem, but when she felt the breath spraying on her skin through the thin fabric getting hotter and hotter, and her fair skin was tinged with pink, Yue Li started pulling her hair outwards from her chest.

"Stop fooling around, get up." Feeling that her collar had been rubbed open, Yue Li patted Shao Qi's head and said irritably.

"No, I'm not getting up. Who told Ah Yue to smell so good?"

As if afraid that Yue Li would forcefully pull him up, he directly reached out a hand and tore open the thin fabric in front of him.

When her lips pressed against the soft, undulating surface without any obstruction, Yue Li felt the heat rising continuously from the spot where she was kissed.

Feeling that his hair was no longer being pulled, but instead felt like soft little hands were massaging his scalp, Shao Qi's movements became even more unrestrained.

The teeth gently nibble at the gummy candy in the mouth, the sweet taste filling the lips and tongue. The tip of the tongue lightly touches the candy, reluctant to swallow it all at once, and can only gently nibble it between the teeth.

Yue Li's fingers were intertwined in Shao Qi's dark hair, her delicate fingertips massaging his scalp as if playing a piano, sometimes lightly, sometimes heavily. Her exquisite chin was raised, her pearly teeth gently biting her lips, her full and moist lips overflowing between her teeth, making her look even more alluring.

Looking at the red and swollen area that he had rubbed so raw, as if it were about to break open, Shao Qi's bright eyes were moist, and there were still traces of water on his lips. He just casually stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked it, but his burning gaze was still fixed on that spot, and he felt a little regretful.

Ah Yue's skin was too delicate; otherwise, he could have kissed her from dawn till dusk, and the soft touch would still linger in his palms. When Yue Li stared at him with her mesmerizing eyes, Shao Qi felt that she wasn't staring at him, but rather seducing him.

"Ah Yue, please stop seducing me, okay? Do you know how much I'm suffering right now?"

If it weren't for the three little ones in Yue Li's belly, how could he have just given her a simple kiss and hug?

Yue Li: ……

She seduced him, but it was clearly him who seduced her! He's really mastered the art of twisting the truth.

Glancing at his billowing clothes, Yue Li snorted heavily, straightened her disheveled clothes, and turned to walk towards the valley's exit.

"Ah..." Whether it was pain or pleasure, Shao Qi let out a series of wavy lines in his clear voice, which made Yue Li's ears go numb and made her walk even faster.

Seeing that the situation not only did not subside but seemed to be getting worse, Shao Qi's handsome face scrunched up. As Yue Li's figure gradually walked away, he could only use his spiritual power to flash to Yue Li's side, humming and hawing as he took her hand and deliberately let her lead him out.

It looked as if Yue Li was deliberately holding him back.

Although her walking posture was a bit strange, Shao Qi thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being led by Yue Li.

Yue Li naturally noticed Shao Qi's little thoughts, but she was still willing to spoil him for such a small thing. So she held Shao Qi's hand the whole way, and even when they flew out of the valley on their swords and all the way to the manor, she did not let go.

Seeing the people walking by on the estate, and their eyes filled with envy as they looked at the two of them holding hands, Shao Qi immediately puffed out his chest, raised his chin, and looked arrogant and spoiled.

They came with Steward Lian yesterday, along with several capable stewards from Prince Chen's residence. They saw that the area she had enclosed, including the lotus pond, had been tidied up and looked brand new. Various chrysanthemums had even been placed along the edge of the lotus pond and in the pavilion next to it.

Yue Li dragged Shao Qi on a special tour, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that professional matters should be handled by professionals. From noon yesterday until now, they had only used half a day to prepare the entire place she had fenced off for the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet. Their efficiency was unparalleled.
