399: Chapter 399 The Audience in the Void

Candlelight flickered red, and the spring night deepened.

Lin Yun's tenderness and patience far exceeded the expectations of the two sisters.

Their initial nervousness gradually melted into warm emotions.

The two sisters gradually eased into the rhythm.

They put all those scenes they had seen before into practice one by one.

...

In the room next door, it had become completely quiet.

Everyone was holding their breath, their gazes locked tightly on the scene inside the bridal chamber.

No one spoke.

It was as if they were afraid that making a sound would break this fiery atmosphere.

Ruozao was being held by Lu Shan, her eyes hazy and her breathing rapid.

Her mind was filled with images, frame after frame.

It was as if she wanted to carve all these scenes deep into her Soul.

Lu Shan was no better off.

Her breath gently brushed against her neck, the heat enticing.

It was unknown how much time had passed, but the heat in the bridal chamber finally began to subside.

The two sisters leaned against Lin Yun's chest, their breathing steady, fine droplets of moisture still clinging to their eyelashes.

Feiying mumbled something, her voice slurred, as if she were already on the verge of sleep.

Fei Xue lifted her eyes and looked at Lin Yun.

That gaze held tenderness, attachment, and an unprecedented sense of peace.

Lin Yun lowered his head and kissed the two of them gently on the forehead:

"Sleep now."

The candle in the bridal chamber finally burned down to its last bit of wax.

The flame flickered twice and then quietly went out.

In the darkness, only the sound of steady breathing remained, intertwined.

...

In the room next door, after a moment of silence, someone finally let out a long sigh.

"It's over."

Qiao Feifei slumped to the floor, as if she had also just gone through a great battle.

Shen Youqing leaned against the wall, her face slightly flushed, wiping away sweat that didn't exist on her forehead:

"I didn't expect this! Feiying is actually so bold and open."

"Isn't that right!"

Bai Ling covered her mouth and giggled on the side.

"When I first met her, I thought she had a cold personality, but it turns out..."

"This is what you call a closet passion."

Chu Xiaoxiao summarized solemnly from the side.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Ruozao was supported by Lu Shan, her body still limp, as if she hadn't yet recovered her senses.

Lu Shan patted her cheek: "Zaozao? Come back to reality!!"

Ruozao snapped back to reality, her cheeks turning red again: "I, I've come back to reality!"

Lu Shan looked at her appearance, her eyes curving into crescents as she smiled: "It'll be your turn in two days."

Ruozao was so embarrassed by her words that she almost started smoking, reaching out to cover her mouth: "Stop talking!"

Lu Shan, having her mouth covered, deliberately breathed a puff of hot air into her palm.

Ruozao recoiled as if burned, pulling her hand back abruptly.

She glared at her, both shy and annoyed.

Su Yingxue stood up from the soft couch, smoothed her clothes, and looked at the flushed sisters in the room with a smile: "Alright, the show is over. That's it for tonight, go back and rest."

Everyone then stood up one after another, walking out of the room in twos and threes, discussing the scene they had just witnessed as they walked.

Su Yingxue walked at the very back. Before leaving, she looked back at the wall that had returned to normal, a satisfied smile curling at the corners of her lips.

Today's gains were even greater than expected.

Although King Xuanyin had not yet made any clear moves, Ai Wei had already taken the bait.

Senior Jasmine's attitude had also softened significantly, and with Fei Xue and Feiying officially married into the family, plus Ruozao's wedding in two days...

Su Yingxue gently closed the door and followed the pace of the sisters in front.

The night breeze was cool, and the horizon was tinged with a faint grayish-white.

The red silk in the manor shimmered with a soft luster under the moonlight.

It was another new day.

And she felt that King Xuanyin should be making a move soon.

But what she didn't know was...

The person she was thinking about was, at this moment, in the Void Realm not far above her head.

Her gaze fell calmly upon the steamy room.

Seeing every subtle change in her expression clearly.

...

Rewind time.

After the wedding banquet ended, the festive bustle of the Lin Family Manor had not yet dissipated.

King Xuanyin and Ai Wei walked out of the main gate and walked along the quiet street for a while.

The sycamore trees on both sides rustled in the night breeze, and the moonlight stretched their shadows long.

Ai Wei's fluffy cat ears drooped, and her tail hung behind her: "Revered Master, we can finally go back and rest. This wedding banquet today was really exhausting; I didn't expect those people to be so chatty."

She was indeed exhausted.

She had been coaxed by Qiao Feifei and Shen Youqing all night, laughing and talking, and now her throat was a bit dry.

She was planning to have a good sleep after returning; she still had to go to Tang Ji Sweet Shop for an appointment tomorrow.

However, King Xuanyin did not respond.

Ai Wei took two steps, noticed that Revered Master hadn't followed, and looked back.

King Xuanyin had stopped under a sycamore tree, the moonlight falling upon her moon-white robes.

She tilted her head slightly, looking at the brightly lit manor behind her, the light of the red lanterns under the eaves reflected in her eyes, calm and deep.

Ai Wei blinked: "Revered Master? What's wrong?"

King Xuanyin withdrew her gaze and looked at her.

A vague, indefinable arc curled at the corner of her mouth: "Weiwei, what did you think of tonight?"

"It was quite lively." Ai Wei scratched her reddened ear base, "Those people were all quite nice, just a bit too talkative."

"Hmm."

King Xuanyin responded softly.

Her gaze shifted away from Ai Wei again, landing once more on the distant Lin Family Manor.

Her gaze lingered for longer than before.

She was silent for a few breaths, then suddenly turned around: "Let's go."

"Oh..." Ai Wei hurried to keep up, "Are we going back to the camp?"

"No." King Xuanyin's tone was flat, "Back."

Ai Wei's steps faltered.

Before she could react, King Xuanyin had already reached out and grabbed her wrist.

The moon-white sleeves fluttered in the night wind, and their figures looked like crushed light and shadow, twisting in place for a moment before disappearing completely.

Only a faint trace of cold fragrance remained in the air, which dissipated as soon as the night breeze blew.

...

Subtle ripples of space folding spread through the Void Realm, falling silently over the manor.

Two overlapping spatial barriers quietly unfolded, as if incorporating the entire courtyard into another independent dimension.

Looking from the outside, the manor appeared perfectly normal; the lights were still on, the red silk remained, and the maid robots were still cleaning the courtyard.

But if one sensed carefully, one could perceive that under that space, there were two invisible figures.

King Xuanyin stood in the Void Realm, her moon-white robes wrapped in spatial power, her entire being blending into the night.

Her aura was restrained to the extreme, like a drop of water melted into the wind, impossible to detect without careful scrutiny.

Beside her, Ai Wei, not yet fully accustomed to this state of void concealment, was trying hard to hold her breath, her cat ears tense and straight.

Ai Wei used Divine Thought to transmit her voice, her tone filled with a bit of nervousness and confusion: "Revered Master... aren't we going back?"

King Xuanyin did not look at her, her gaze resting on the brightly lit main building in the courtyard below, her tone as flat as usual: "I came to attend the wedding banquet tonight; if I just went back like this, wouldn't it have been a wasted trip?"

Ai Wei blinked: "But... hasn't the wedding banquet already ended?"

"The wedding banquet has ended."

"But other matters have not yet been finished."
