113: The Mistress's Test! The True Identity of Chunhua and Qiuyue!

As Su Chen's personal maids, Spring Flower and Autumn Moon had guarded him for ten years.

In these ten years, they had witnessed His Highness the Divine Son grow from a tender youth into the peerless, elegant Young Master he was today—one so 'lazy' it was hard to look at.

While others practiced bitter cultivation, His Highness slept peacefully.

During Secret Realm explorations, His Highness continued to sleep soundly.

Even at critical moments for the Family's honor, His Highness still slept sweetly.

In the eyes of the vast majority of the Su Family, this Divine Son was almost useless, save for that face capable of overturning all living beings.

But Spring Flower and Autumn Moon knew perfectly well that all of this was merely a facade.

At this moment, as they watched the woman clinging to their Young Master's arm, her body wreathed in ominous Devilish Qi, a memory buried deep within their Souls welled up like a clear spring.

It was the day before they were sent to Divine Son Peak.

That peerless woman, whose beauty made heaven and earth lose their color, had summoned them to her presence.

She was Su Chen's mother, a mysterious existence who was like a taboo in the Xuanyuan Continent and even the Tiannan Immortal Domain, someone almost no one dared mention.

“From now on, your lives belong to Chener,” the woman's gentle voice contained an unquestionable authority.

“You have only one task.”

“Stay by his side and protect him until the day he truly spreads his wings and flies.”

“And one more thing...”

The woman's gaze was deep and distant, as if piercing through eternal ages to see a certain moment in the future.

“Vetting my future daughter-in-law on my behalf.”

“Any woman who attempts to approach Chener, whether she be a holy Saintess, an enchanting demoness, or even a powerful Empress, must pass your test.”

With a flick of the woman's finger, two rays of gentle light merged into their foreheads.

“Heart-Nature, character, and strength—none of the three can be missing. Most importantly, she must love Chener from the bottom of her heart and be willing to give him her all.”

“If she is unworthy, you shall drive her away from Chener's side in my stead.”

“Regardless of the means used.”

These words were etched like a brand into the depths of Spring Flower and Autumn Moon's Souls.

For these ten years, they had been like loyal gatekeepers, blocking all the 'frivolous women' who approached Divine Son Peak.

But today, this woman... her gaze upon His Highness was filled with undisguised aggression and possessiveness, like a prehistoric beast that had been hungry for a hundred thousand years eyeing a unique and delicious feast.

This caused alarm bells to ring in the hearts of Spring Flower and Autumn Moon.

They calmly exchanged a glance.

Deep within their Divine Souls, the spiritual light bestowed by the Matriarch flickered and intertwined. In an instant, they understood each other's thoughts from their eyes.

—This woman is exceptionally dangerous!

—She must be tested!

Ye Linghan naturally noticed these two maids as well.

She only gave them a casual glance before withdrawing her gaze.

In her eyes, two little girls who had not yet reached the Saint Realm were no different from ants crawling by the roadside.

At this moment, all her attention was poured onto her Little Husband beside her.

“Is this your residence?” Ye Linghan surveyed the beautiful Divine Son Peak before her, which was dense with Spiritual Qi, a playful curve hooking her lips. “Passable. It barely matches my status.”

Su Chen rolled his eyes, having no heart to argue with her.

His only thought right now was to get rid of this 'Plague God' as soon as possible.

He tugged his arm, trying to break free from that seemingly delicate but iron-strong grip.

“Alright, alright, we're home. Can you let go now?”

“No.”

Not only did Ye Linghan not let go, she held him even tighter.

That plump and proud chest pressed against his arm; the startling softness and elasticity caused Su Chen's body to instantly stiffen.

Half of his body felt as if it had lost all sensation.

“Husband, our marriage contract is set. From now on, it is only natural for me to live with you.” Her tone was firm, as if stating an eternal truth.

“Who the hell set a marriage contract with you?!”

Su Chen roared inwardly, but he could only squeeze out a smile that looked worse than crying.

“Ahem, look, my lady, this Divine Son Peak of mine is actually quite cramped and the conditions are simple.”

“It really isn't suitable for a noble person like yourself to live in.”

“How about this? I'll have the Seventh Elder build another, more grand palace for you nearby, what do you think?”

He tried his best to use this method to hint for this 'Plague God' to leave on her own.

However, Ye Linghan only tilted her head, her demonic phoenix eyes looking at him with a half-smile.

“Oh? Is my husband tired of me and unwilling to share a bed with me?”

Her voice quietly took on a hint of danger.

Su Chen's heart sank abruptly, and his survival instinct instantly exploded.

[Share a bed?!]

[Big sister! I'm afraid that when I wake up tomorrow morning, I'll find I'm missing a certain part!]

[You Crazy Woman, who knows if you have some weird hobby of crushing people like pillows in your sleep?]

He hurriedly waved his hands and said righteously, “How could that be! I definitely didn't mean that!”

“My point is, we haven't officially married yet. If we live together like this, it would be improper!”

“If word gets out, it would damage my lady's reputation!”

“Reputation?”

Ye Linghan let out a light laugh, laughing so hard she shook, as if she had heard some utterly ridiculous joke.

“Giggle... Little Husband, do you think I would care about such an ethereal thing?”

She leaned close to Su Chen's ear, her warm breath carrying a faint, exotic fragrance as it brushed against his earlobe, giving him goosebumps all over.

In a voice only the two of them could hear, she said softly, “All I care about is you.”

“Tonight, if you dare to slip away from my bed...”

She paused, her pink lips parting slightly as her tongue lightly licked her crimson lips—a movement full of lethal temptation and threat.

“I will break your legs.”

Su Chen: “...”

He felt like he was about to cry.

This life simply couldn't go on!

To the side, Spring Flower and Autumn Moon took in their interaction.

Seeing their Young Master's aggrieved appearance of being 'completely handled,' and witnessing Ye Linghan's domineering and forceful posture, their determination to protect His Highness grew even firmer.

The two looked at each other again, and the spiritual light deep in their Divine Souls converged once more.

[Sister Spring Flower, this woman is overbearing and arrogant; she is likely not a good match for His Highness. The test left by the Matriarch must be activated!]

[Autumn Moon, you are right. His Highness has a body of ten thousand gold; how can he be allowed to be coerced by a demoness of unknown origin like this?]

Spring Flower nodded slightly, a flash of determination appearing in her eyes that was completely different from her gentle exterior.

Autumn Moon understood. Deep within her lowered eyelids, an unnoticeable cold light flashed by.

The test was coming tonight.
