164: Chapter 164 Xia Jin's Helplessness, Su Xuanji's Finally Achieved

Just as the Fire Phoenix and the Black Jiao went to capture the Blood Corpse.

Xia Jin's figure had already appeared in front of the gate of the Jin Wang Palace in the Great Xia Imperial Palace.

He looked at the pitch-black Jin Wang Palace before him and couldn't help but frown.

In the past, even if Leng Yuexi rested early, the Jin Wang Palace would not be without a single candle lit.

"Could it be that Yue Xi is too tired today?" Xia Jin shook his head with a smile. He didn't think too much about it, gently pushed open the palace doors, and walked inside.

In the darkness, he took off his outer garment, lifted the quilt, and had just laid down.

Suddenly, a warm, soft body burrowed into his embrace!

Xia Jin's body stiffened slightly, then immediately relaxed, a trace of a smile appearing at the corners of his eyes: "Yue Xi, why are you still awake so late? Could it be that you are still thinking of this Prince..."

While teasing Leng Yuexi, Xia Jin gently rubbed against 'Leng Yuexi's' forehead. A strange fragrance naturally wafted into his nostrils.

Not right!

This fragrance... it was not the floral scent typically found on Leng Yuexi, but another scent he was familiar with.

Su Xuanji!? The woman currently in his arms was Su Xuanji!

A thunderclap instantly rang out in Xia Jin's mind!

His eyes widened, he swallowed unconsciously, and his hand holding the other person dared not move again.

What, what is the situation? How could Su Xuanji be in his bed? And what about Leng Yuexi? Where did she go?

Xia Jin's mind was in chaos, but he quickly reacted, a wry smile appearing on his face. He had been sold out by his own wife.

Just at this moment, a very slight stinging pain came from his shoulder.

Indeed, it was because Su Xuanji saw that Xia Jin remained silent, so she bit him resentfully.

"Hiss~ You actually bit me! My Great Sect Leader Su!!" Xia Jin cast his gaze onto the figure in his arms with annoyance.

Who would have thought that Su Xuanji, having just bitten Xia Jin, would now be hiding in his arms like a child who had done something wrong, not daring to make a sound.

"What, you're actually shy?" A thought to tease her suddenly flashed through Xia Jin's mind, and he couldn't help but say it on purpose.

"Have... have you discovered it?" At this moment, Su Xuanji's face was like a red apple; she bit her lip lightly, and a faint glimmer of tears welled up in her eyes.

"You... you jerk! Were you doing that on purpose?" She punched Xia Jin's chest hard.

Forget it.

Since the girl had already gone this far, if he were to push her away again, wouldn't he be letting down her intentions?

Xia Jin took a deep breath, and amidst Su Xuanji's shy cries, he rolled over and pinned her beneath him.

...

Early the next morning,

Xia Jin opened his eyes and looked down into his arms.

Su Xuanji was curled up in his arms like an ostrich, burying her face completely, with only half of her flushed red ear exposed.

Looking at her eyelids that were still twitching while she pretended to sleep, Xia Jin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

However, he did not specifically try to expose Su Xuanji; after all, Su Xuanji was so thin-skinned.

He carefully withdrew his arm and got up to put on his clothes. However, he still disturbed the person in the bed, and Su Xuanji's body clearly shrank further into the quilt.

After putting on his clothes, Xia Jin leaned over to the bedside and gently patted Su Xuanji's flushed cheek.

Xia Jin glanced at Su Xuanji and said with a smile: "This Prince will go out first; you should rest well."

After speaking, he pushed open the palace doors and stepped out. However, he did not know that Su Xuanji was currently lifting the quilt, secretly watching Xia Jin's departing back.

It was not until the door was closed again that Su Xuanji let out a long sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect that I, the Sect Leader, would actually succeed!" Su Xuanji suddenly smiled. "However, Sister Yue Xi was right; this jerk really is like a beast, tossing me around for most of the night. It left me with a sore waist and aching back."

After relaxing, Su Xuanji felt a wave of sleepiness wash over her, and she fell asleep again without realizing it.

Meanwhile, in a courtyard outside the Jin Wang Palace.

Leng Yuexi was sitting upright at a stone table, tasting the freshly delivered clear tea, but at this moment, the skin around her eyes was slightly dark, clearly indicating that she had not slept well last night.

Seeing Xia Jin come out, a slightly teasing smile appeared on Leng Yuexi's face.

"Husband, did you have a good time last night?" She raised an eyebrow at Xia Jin.

"Sleep well?" Hearing Leng Yuexi's teasing words, Xia Jin's face instantly darkened.

He glared at her and said with annoyance: "Hmph! Regarding last night's affair, this Prince knew it must have been your doing!"

"Hm!?" Leng Yuexi blinked, looking innocent: "What is Husband talking about? Why does this concubine not understand?"

"Enough, are you still pretending?" Xia Jin was speechless. "Then tell this Prince, why were you not in the bedchamber last night? And how did Su Xuanji appear in this Prince's bed?"

"Oh! Husband is talking about this matter."

She stood up and sat naturally in Xia Jin's embrace: "Does Husband think Sister Su is not good? The commotion Husband made last night kept me awake all night..."

"Uh~" Xia Jin opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

This wife of his was clearly doing it on purpose!

Leng Yuexi held his hand and whispered: "Sister Su has liked Husband for more than a day or two. Not to mention me, even Your Majesty and Commander Qin Hu and others, who couldn't see it? It's just you who is still pretending to be stupid!"

"In a few days, Husband is also preparing to go to that Divine Palace, and we don't know when you will be able to return. Accepting Sister Su is not only helping her fulfill a wish, but also leaving behind a source of help for Great Xia."

Hearing this, Xia Jin could only sigh helplessly.

He stroked Leng Yuexi's long hair and smiled bitterly: "You silly woman."

Leng Yuexi leaned against his chest and chuckled: "Silly? I don't think so. However, it is only because Sister Su and I get along well; if it were any other woman, I wouldn't be so easy to talk to!"

"..."

Xia Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and could only hold her tighter.

Just at this moment, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and his gaze looked towards the distant Void Realm.

On the distant horizon, two huge figures were rapidly speeding towards the Great Xia Imperial Palace.

Leng Yuexi seemed to have noticed Xia Jin's abnormality, lifted her head from his embrace, and asked suspiciously: "Husband, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, it's the two Yao Beasts I recently accepted returning."

"Yao Beasts? What Yao Beasts are still on this Dongxuan Continent?" Leng Yuexi was slightly stunned, and following Xia Jin's gaze, she raised her head and looked towards the distant horizon.

At this sight, Leng Yuexi couldn't help but widen her eyes.

She saw a Fire Phoenix with its whole body burning with red flames, and a Black Jiao riding the clouds and mist, flying towards their direction.

And they were getting bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger.

In the blink of an eye, they went from two black dots to the extent of almost blocking out the sunlight.

"This... how can there be two such huge Yao Beasts on the Dongxuan Continent?"
