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

Seeing Yue Li's reaction, Leng Xuanling was not discouraged. After spending so much time together, he could tell that Yue Li was somewhat passive in matters of the heart. She was the kind of person who was fine with having someone, but would still live a very comfortable life even without them.

The two were very close, close enough to smell her sweet fragrance. Leng Xuanling was quite satisfied with the current progress. Although he sometimes felt jealous when he saw her and Sheng Yifan being so intimate, their relationship was much better than at the beginning, and he knew that his efforts during this period had paid off.

Leng Xuanling felt that perhaps they could take it a step further.

All he needed was this opportunity.

With the masters here, others would deliberately stay away even when resting. At this moment, some people were eating wild grapes picked by the masters themselves, some were eating dry rations, and some even ran into the mountains and forests in a short time to catch pheasants and rabbits to roast. Even though they were so busy, perceptive people could still sense the different atmosphere between the two.

After Sheng Yifan arrived at the bandits' stronghold, Lin Zhao led him straight to the warehouse, where he put all the gold, silver, jewelry, furs, and cloth from the two warehouses into his storage bag. Then, under Lin Zhao's guidance, he headed towards the mass grave not far from the stronghold.

Sheng Yifan did not approach, because he had already seen the tragic scene there when he released his divine sense. He did not expect that a bandit stronghold of less than four hundred people could turn into a mass grave.

No matter which city's government on either side of Shuangfeng Mountain puts in a little effort, they wouldn't allow such a bandit stronghold that disregards human life to exist.

With a furrowed brow, Sheng Yifan used his divine sense to check the area around the mass grave, finding nothing to bury. He then channeled his spiritual power and struck the nearby mountain wall. With a deafening roar, rubble and debris splattered into a pile, raising dust in all directions. He then used his spiritual power to sweep the dust to the other side and piled the rubble back onto the mass grave.

This can be considered a way to let these people rest in peace.

After leading Lin Zhao out of the mountain stronghold, Sheng Yifan waved his hand again, and an invisible spiritual force was unleashed, instantly turning the entire stronghold into ruins.

After Yue Li and the others had eaten and drunk their fill, they waited until the sun had set slightly before setting off. It was the height of summer, and Yue Li thought back to this time last year when she was still in Linfang Prefecture escaping the heat. She never expected to end up here again this year.

Thinking of Linfang Prefecture, Yue Li recalled a month ago when Shao Qi sent a message saying that General Feng wanted to take Xin Yao and Xin Duo to Feng Yuan Xi's place in Linfang Prefecture. The spirit paper crane came to ask if she could fly there on her sword.

After all, with two children, traveling by horse-drawn carriage would be a bumpy ride for several months. Even if the adults could endure it, the children couldn't.

Yue Li thought that Feng Yuanxi might miss his two children. He left when the two children were just over a month old, and it seemed that men in this era were closer to their children than women.

A month ago, the two children were over four months old, and the weather was neither too hot nor too cold, so they could go out. Yue Li agreed, but asked him to cover the children's eyes while flying on his sword so as not to frighten them.

Two more days passed, and Feng Yuanxi sent a spirit paper crane, saying that she had successfully received the two children and General Feng, and that she should not worry.

Now that the two children are with Feng Yuanxi, Yue Li feels much more at ease.

Well, although she wasn't really worried at first!

As dusk approached, the group stopped in a grove of trees, deciding to spend the night there. They ate some simple roasted meat and dry rations, and then it became completely dark.

Lin Ming and his men set up the tent that was tied to the horse's back for Yue Li. Because of Leng Xuanling and the others, Yue Li was the only one who could stay in the tent along the way.

However, most of the Moonbeams find the tents too stuffy and will spend the night in a tree.

Although there were many mosquitoes in the forest, they had brought some insecticide powder with them and sprinkled it around the area beforehand, so no more mosquitoes came near them.

Yue Li lay half-reclined on a branch of a thick tree, which was several times thicker than her waist. Moonlight shone through the dense leaves onto her face, making her skin appear even whiter and more radiant. Her butterfly-like eyelashes gently closed, concealing the shimmering light in her eyes.

Leng Xuanling washed himself in the pool that Si Ming and the others had found. After all, he had been traveling all day and was covered in dust and sweat. His hair was half dry, and he only loosely tied it up with a hairband, without tying it up.

This outfit made him look less angular and made his features appear more delicate and flawless.

Even though a campfire was lit in an open area, the forest was still dim, so Leng Xuanling searched many places but couldn't find Yue Li. Just when he thought Yue Li had also gone to find a place to wash up, he looked up and saw a section of red skirt hanging from a tree not far away. His eyes lit up with joy, and he was about to go forward when he saw Sheng Yifan also come to the big tree.

He paused in his forward steps, then saw Sheng Yifan leap up into the tree, her red skirt tangling with the hem of her ice-blue robe.

In Leng Xuanling's eyes, it looked particularly offensive.

At this point, he should have left. He knew what would happen to the two of them afterward, but his thoughts seemed unable to control his steps. He walked directly over the big tree next to him to a darker place, hiding his body there, but his eyes were fixed on the two entangled figures in the tree.

Sheng Yifan placed a small bed, just big enough for one person, in the tent where Yue Li was sleeping. Since the tent wasn't big, he used his divine sense to find where Yue Li was.

Arriving at the tree, Sheng Yifan used his spiritual power to leap onto a branch. Seeing that Yue Li seemed to be asleep, he reached out and pulled her into his arms. He then lay down on the branch and gently combed the long hair that had fallen onto her cheek with a smile.

"Are you done with your work?" Yue Li had just been resting with her eyes closed, but she knew it was Sheng Yifan when she smelled the pine scent on him.

"Well, if Ah Li wants to sleep, let's go back to the tent." Holding his beloved in his arms and inhaling her sweet fragrance, how could Sheng Yifan remain unmoved?

While talking, he didn't stop kissing Yue Li's lips repeatedly.

"We'll go later!"

Being kissed by Sheng Yifan like that, Yue Li wasn't one to be trifled with. She immediately wrapped her arms around Sheng Yifan's neck and kissed him back.

Sheng Yifan naturally accepted Yue Li's initiative, even opening his lips to welcome her. For a moment, the two could no longer hear the chirping of insects and birds from afar, only the smacking sounds of their kiss and their rapid breathing.

Her once neatly dressed robes now swayed to the sides, and the belt around her waist was hanging from a nearby tree branch, swinging back and forth.

Her delicate fingertips traced the defined abs and V-line of his physique, and Sheng Yifan couldn't help but let out a sexy breath in Yue Li's ear.

"Ah Li, if you want to play again, can we wait until next time? I can't wait any longer!"
