373: Chapter 373 The Alluring Mystic King

The evening breeze fluttered the long sleeves of her purple dress, and the moonlight fell upon her exquisite and stunning profile.

Shedding the sharpness she displayed in the arena, she now possessed a touch of gentle, languid allure that was intoxicatingly beautiful.

"Little brother, are you hiding here to steal a moment of leisure?"

A soft female voice sounded from behind him, carrying a familiar, seductive tone.

Lin Yun turned his head and looked at King Xuanyin as she approached step by step, smiling faintly:

"Your Highness King Xuanyin, shouldn't you be at the banquet? Why have you come to find me?"

King Xuanyin walked to his side and leaned against the railing with him, looking out at the night view of the imperial palace. Her presence brushed against him, faint yet perceptible, and her tone was languid and ambiguous:

"The hall is full of mundane people; it's incredibly boring."

"Compared to socializing with the officials, I naturally prefer to chat with the most stunning young champion of this tournament."

She turned her head to look at Lin Yun, her eyes curving into crescents, filled with fragmented moonlight and a captivating smile:

"There were too many people in the arena during the day, so I couldn't say much. Now that no one is around, big sister wants to ask you something seriously."

"Are you really not considering coming to my Tianlang Empire?"

"I can give you everything that the Lingyuan Empire cannot: resources, authority, Secret Realms, Cultivation Technique, and even... myself."

The last five words were spoken extremely softly and gently. Her warm breath brushed past Lin Yun's ear, instantly maximizing the ambiguity.

This was no longer a subtle solicitation, but a naked temptation from a beauty.

Given her noble status as the dignified King Xuanyin, a powerhouse who has been enfeoffed as a King, her willingness to lower her status and make such a promise was something no one in the two great Empires could resist.

Lin Yun's heart stirred slightly, but he remained composed, a playful smile curling at the corners of his lips:

"Your Highness's sincerity is indeed moving."

"However, as I said before, I only marry, I do not serve. If you want me to submit, it would be simpler for Your Highness to marry over here instead."

He countered her seduction once again, without the slightest bit of timidity.

King Xuanyin felt a slight itch in her heart at his words, and the interest in her eyes deepened. She lightly rested her fingertips on the railing, moving an inch closer to Lin Yun:

"You little one, you really are bold."

"So many princes and Prodigies are respectful when they see me, yet you are the only one who dares to tease me time and time again."

"However..."

She blinked, her allure flowing: "I just happen to like your bold nature."

The two of them flirted ambiguously in the moonlight corridor, the atmosphere lingering and romantic.

...

The imperial palace banquet was brightly lit, with pleasant music playing, and the hall full of powerful figures laughing and talking, bustling with excitement.

The joy of the great victory enveloped the entire venue, but one figure detached herself from the mundane clamor, creating a world of her own.

Beside a quiet, carved window in the great hall, Fairy Suxin stood silently in the wind, wearing a plain, white, dustless Fairy dress.

Her temperament was cold and ethereal, with a faint aura of Ice Jade Fairy charm surrounding her.

The surrounding noisy crowd and the extravagant lights were all shut out.

She was like an ice-snow Fairy lotus standing apart from the world, untainted by any worldly dust.

Su Yingxue's gaze flickered; she quietly left her seat and slowly walked towards Fairy Suxin.

Her calculations were clear in her mind.

This Fairy Suxin possessed a peerless appearance, an extraordinary Dao body, and unfathomable strength; she was also the rare holder of the Tai Su Dustless Ice Jade Dao Body in this world.

If such a top-tier, stunning powerhouse could become friends with her husband, she would surely become a great asset to him in the future.

She would take the initiative to strike up a conversation today and draw closer to her.

This was to lay the groundwork for helping her husband slowly win over and recruit this cold Fairy in the future.

Su Yingxue, with a gentle posture and a proper smile, walked to Fairy Suxin's side and spoke softly:

"Fairy Suxin, I have long admired your name."

"Thank you for suppressing the arena today, balancing King Xuanyin's charm, and preserving the order of the arena and the dignity of my Lingyuan Empire."

As the soft, pleasant female voice sounded, Fairy Suxin turned her head, her cold Fairy eyes falling upon Su Yingxue.

The next moment, a flash of genuine surprise crossed her eyes.

What she saw was that Su Yingxue's skin was as white and lustrous as jade, with a very faint layer of Fairy charm flowing around her body.

Between her skin and bones, an extremely pure, jade-like Dao foundation was faintly visible.

This was clearly the authentic manifestation of Ice Skin and Jade Bones.

Fairy Suxin's heart trembled slightly.

As someone who possessed a supreme Dao body, she knew one iron rule:

Ice Skin and Jade Bones is an Innate Physique of the purest Yin in heaven and earth, which can only be possessed by an unmarried woman who has kept herself pure.

Once a woman is married, gives herself to someone, or bears children.

The purest Yin essence within her body will leak out, and the Ice Skin and Jade Bones will instantly collapse, completely degenerating into an ordinary mortal body, with no trace of Fairy charm left.

But the Su Yingxue before her was Lin Yun's wife, as everyone knew.

Not only was she married, but she was also deeply affectionate with Lin Yun.

She had already borne dozens of children; she was undeniably a wife and a mother.

With such a status and history, it should have been impossible for her to retain the Ice Skin and Jade Bones.

Fairy Suxin frowned imperceptibly.

She checked repeatedly, but that pure Ice Jade aura was absolutely real and definitely not a disguise.

A moment later, she shook her head to herself.

She assumed it was because she had been in seclusion for many years and had been involved in the Dao for so long that her mind was too sensitive, causing an illusion.

There was no reason for a person who had married and borne children to retain an Innate Jade Bone.

This is an eternal Law of Physiques that cannot be wrong.

With her mind settled, Fairy Suxin suppressed the surprise in her eyes.

Resuming her cold and calm expression, she nodded faintly in response:

"It was just a small effort, no need to mention it."

Su Yingxue did not know why she was confused.

With a gentle smile, she took the opportunity to draw closer.

Her attitude was humble, her emotional intelligence was extremely high, and she spent the whole time asking for advice on cultivation.

She did not deliberately fawn over her, nor did she pry into privacy; she only sought to quietly lay the groundwork for a friendship, paving the way for her husband to build a connection in the future.

Fairy Suxin had always been cold and indifferent, not liking to associate deeply with others.

But facing the clear-hearted Su Yingxue, she ultimately had a bit more patience.

The two stood by the window, one cold and one warm, chatting in low voices, the atmosphere quiet and soft.

...

Meanwhile, under the moonlight in the outer corridor of the imperial palace, the ambiguous atmosphere completely heated up.

Avoiding the eyes of all the guests, King Xuanyin completely shed her dignified restraint, revealing her enchanting, seductive nature to the fullest.

The evening breeze rolled with fragmented moonlight, blowing her purple gauze dress, her figure slender and graceful, her charm bone-deep.

She no longer deliberately kept her distance.

She took a half-step forward, her body pressing tightly against Lin Yun.

Her fragrant shoulder almost touched his arm.

The warm, feminine fragrance drifted into his nostrils in wisps.

The close proximity made the ambiguous atmosphere instantly thick to the extreme.

King Xuanyin tilted her head slightly, her stunning face just inches away.

A pair of captivating peach-blossom eyes filled with fragmented moonlight locked tightly onto Lin Yun's gaze.

Her soft, seductive voice was lowered extremely low, carrying a trace of bewitching languor:

"Little one, don't always use marrying me to fob me off."

"Big sister is serious."
