304: Ling Ruoqing's Night Visit

But he truly did not dislike such a straightforward person.

He then gave Wu Mingyue a smile.

Seeing Lin Ye smile, a flush flashed across Wu Mingyue's pretty face, though it vanished in an instant.

For Wu Mingyue, the path to immortality was what she sought; she was completely clueless about romantic matters. Yet, with Lin Ye, it was the first time she felt her heart racing.

Earlier, to stop Wu Mingyue and prevent her from acting impulsively, Empress Wu had left her Phoenix throne and come to Wu Mingyue's side.

Sitting to the side, Empress Wu had evidently taken in the expressions of both Lin Ye and Wu Mingyue.

Her beautiful eyes held a hint of mischief.

"It seems Mingyue has finally awakened to these feelings, but why is there still a faint sense of loss in my heart?"

Empress Wu dared not dwell on it, deliberately trying to avoid that feeling. For these past few days, the image of Lin Ye appearing in the bathroom had often lingered in her mind.

Especially when Lin Ye had opened his mouth and consumed her "Medicinal Pill"; that sensation, which had seeped deep into her bones, was not something she could easily forget.

Empress Wu subconsciously wanted to pat Wu Mingyue to shake off the romantic thoughts in her head.

But she seemed to have forgotten that she and Wu Mingyue were sitting too close. Added to her distraction moments ago, she had overextended her hand and directly patted Lin Ye, who was beside Wu Mingyue.

"Hm?"

Lin Ye, having had his arm patted, turned his head and saw that hand, white as jade. Clearly, it was not Wu Mingyue's hand; otherwise, wouldn't she have become deformed?

If it wasn't Wu Mingyue, then it could only be Empress Wu...

At this moment, with his negative emotions running high, Lin Ye directly reached out from a hidden angle and gently squeezed that soft little hand.

Empress Wu instantly snapped back to reality. She turned her head and happened to meet Lin Ye's deep, dark eyes.

Nearly gasping out loud, she immediately pulled her hand back, her heart beating rapidly.

"How could he dare, how could he actually dare!!!"

In broad daylight, and right in front of Mingyue, he...

Thinking this, for some reason, Empress Wu actually felt a little thrill.

"I must have lost my mind!!!"

Empress Wu hurriedly shifted her attention to the arena.

On the arena stage, a new round of fighting had begun. It must be said, although the Martial Saint Emperor had pursued the path to immortality all his life, he had never neglected having children.

There were an extremely large number of princes and princesses, and combined with the battles between the Prodigies, it was impossible to determine a winner in a short time.

Therefore, a single day was simply not enough to resolve all the battles.

The battles continued until nightfall. After the duel between two princes concluded, the minister in charge of officiating announced that the battles would resume the next day.

Lin Yu still hadn't stepped onto the stage yet.

Upon hearing the minister's words, the crowd left the viewing stands, still feeling unsatisfied. It must be said that the day's battles were truly exhilarating, especially those involving Lin Ye.

Before leaving, everyone looked toward Lin Ye in unison.

When Empress Wu left, she seemed to be fleeing; she didn't even glance at Lin Ye, and with a flash of light, she vanished from the viewing stands.

"Lin Ye, you should come to my place today; don't stay in the Imperial Palace."

Although she had already struck a deal with the Martial Saint Emperor, Wu Mingyue simply did not trust her own father from the bottom of her heart, so she told Lin Ye to go to her Princess residence to rest.

What she did not see was a woman with a stunning face and a tall figure walking over slowly, seemingly looking for Lin Ye.

But seeing Wu Mingyue talking with Lin Ye, her beautiful eyes held an extremely complex expression.

Her pair of proud, long legs alone proved her identity.

Who else could it be but Ling Ruoqing?

During this time, she had intended to forget Lin Ye completely, even going so far as to enter seclusion, but the result was clear: she had failed. Not only did she not forget Lin Ye, but his image had become increasingly vivid in her heart.

In the end, the Mystic Moon Holy Master also noticed Ling Ruoqing's abnormality and had her come directly to the Wu Dynasty with Lin Yu to clear her mind.

As a result, she encountered Lin Ye again.

Just now, Ling Ruoqing had intended to come and speak a few words with Lin Ye, though she didn't know what she would say. However, when she saw Wu Mingyue and Lin Ye conversing happily, a wave of bitterness welled up in her heart.

Especially since Wu Mingyue and Lin Ye still had a marriage contract, which made Ling Ruoqing feel even more distressed.

Whether Lin Ye didn't see Ling Ruoqing or was doing it on purpose, he simply smiled at Wu Mingyue and said, "Then that will be a bother."

"It's no bother. Let's go..."

The two left together. This scene left those who had not yet departed full of jealousy in their eyes.

One had to know that in the Wu Dynasty, Wu Mingyue was the Princess, and even more so, the Dao Companion that countless men dreamed of, with her peerless appearance and powerful talent.

All of which attracted the gazes of men.

But compete with Lin Ye? Seeing what Lin Ye had done to the Ninth Prince today, they immediately dismissed that thought.

Putting aside whether they could win, Lin Ye's ruthless methods were enough to immediately discourage everyone.

After the crowd dispersed, Consort Shu chased directly in the direction the Martial Saint Emperor had left. Clearly, she wanted to understand why the Martial Saint Emperor's attitude had changed so drastically.

But before she could catch up to the Martial Saint Emperor, she was stopped by members of the Dragon Guard.

"Consort Shu, Your Majesty does not wish to be disturbed by anyone."

"..."

Consort Shu was a person of deep cunning and naturally would not make a scene in front of the Dragon Guard.

After a moment of silence, she left into the distance.

...

Deep into the night.

Upon returning to the Princess residence, Lin Ye naturally went back to the exclusive room that had been arranged for him.

What he did not know was that at this moment, Ling Ruoqing had already arrived at the door.

Of course, she was stopped by Wu Mingyue.

Wu Mingyue spoke indifferently: "Ling Ruoqing of the Profound Moon Holy Land? What is your intent in coming here?"

"..."

Ling Ruoqing's pretty face wore a look of hesitation, but after a moment, she took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes staring directly at Wu Mingyue: "I am here to find Lin Ye."

"Hm?"

Wu Mingyue asked in confusion: "What is your relationship with Lin Ye?"

"I am his woman!"

Whether it was to anger the Wu Mingyue before her or for some other reason.

As she said these words, Ling Ruoqing felt a sense of relief in her heart.

She had finally said it.

Yet Wu Mingyue remained with that indifferent expression, as if she did not care about this at all.

"Is that so? He is in my sleeping quarters. I will have a guard take you there."

After saying this, Wu Mingyue signaled a guard to take Ling Ruoqing over.

Once Ling Ruoqing's figure had completely disappeared, Wu Mingyue's expression changed. Her pearly teeth bit down tightly on her lower lip, and a strange emotion flickered in her beautiful eyes.

"Lin Ye's woman..."

Inside the room, Lin Ye was currently in the midst of Cultivating. He felt that his Bottleneck seemed to have loosened somewhat.

He should be able to become a Purple Mansion Cultivator very soon!
