229: surprise

Because it had just come out, it was warm and cozy. Now, her ex-husband could also enjoy hot spring service down below.

After doing all this, Tang Mei's eyes returned from their seductive charm to their usual look.

Recalling how wildly she had dug earlier, Tang Mei felt a bit guilty towards her ex-husband.

But what could she do? She had suddenly gotten a whim and just wanted to do it. Who could she blame?

After re-erecting her ex-husband's collapsed tombstone and setting up a simple Formation there, Tang Mei and Su Xuan returned to Tianwu Holy Land.

"I'll go back first... you go back and accompany them! You disappeared for a whole day, they must be dying to see you..."

Tang Mei said with some reluctance.

But there was no other way; good things had to be shared. Tang Mei couldn't monopolize something for that long.

"Revered Master, I'll spend more time with you when I have the chance! Speaking of which, when can we make our relationship public? That way, you can legitimately..."

Su Xuan had a mischievous smile.

"Rebellious Disciple! Aren't you afraid your reputation isn't bad enough... you even... Ancestor Liu. If you add me to that, do you think you'll still have a place to stand here?"

Tang Mei rolled her eyes at Su Xuan.

She wasn't ready yet, mainly because she didn't know how to face Li Qiuyue.

If Li Qiuyue found out that her own mother was with her husband...

Tang Mei didn't know how she would ever face her.

In reality, after so many days together, Li Qiuyue had long since become numb to these matters; she no longer cared.

The more she spoke, the more women Su Xuan seemed to acquire, so she simply stopped bothering to manage it.

She had even considered letting Tang Mei and Su Xuan be together.

After all, Tang Mei had been single for so many years, was so beautiful, and was a relative. If Su Xuan could win her over, it would be keeping the 'fertile water within the family'.

However, Li Qiuyue felt her idea was absurd; how could she let Tang Mei be with Su Xuan...

Neither of them knew the other's thoughts, so for now, things remained as they were.

"Alright, alright, we'll talk about it later then!"

Su Xuan laughed.

Afterward, the two lingered in affection for a while longer, and it was quite some time before Tang Mei reluctantly departed.

Upon returning to Lingyun Peak, Tang Mei looked exactly like a thief with a guilty conscience, luckily no one saw her.

...

"Who is it?"

Empress Ye Ningzhi was bathing when suddenly, she was picked up.

"Husband..."

Empress Ye Ningzhi's face immediately turned red. Without needing to be told, Empress Ye Ningzhi knew that the one who had just ambushed her was Su Xuan!

In Tianwu Holy Land, only Su Xuan could do such a thing!

"It's been so long! Did you miss me? Come! Let me see, have you changed at all?"

Su Xuan grinned, his hands beginning to wander.

"Stop messing around! I haven't even finished bathing yet!"

Empress Ye Ningzhi slapped Su Xuan's 'dog paws' away and glared at him playfully.

"They say 'when husband and wife are of one heart, they can cut through metal.' If two people work together, they can even cut through gold, let alone this!"

Su Xuan had a mischievous smile.

"You... sigh... I'm truly speechless!"

Is this how you're supposed to explain and use this idiom?

Empress Ye Ningzhi couldn't win against Su Xuan, so she just let him be.

However, Empress Ye Ningzhi was only saying it; they say a short separation makes the heart grow fonder, but it had been several months, so it wasn't a short separation.

Empress Ye Ningzhi missed Su Xuan so much she was almost getting sick. On weekdays, no one really came to talk to her; she was either Cultivating or reading.

If Ning Yixuan hadn't visited her regularly, Empress Ye Ningzhi felt she would have fallen ill.

Empress Ye Ningzhi couldn't bear it anymore. Several times, she wanted to confess her relationship with Su Xuan, but upon seeing Ning Yixuan, she always backed down.

"Su Xuan! You scoundrel! I've missed you to death! I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

"Oh, little girl, you're playing a role now? We'll see who teaches whom a lesson!"

"Sob, sob, husband, I was wrong. I'll never pretend in front of you again..."

"You'll pretend later! Do you dare to do it again?"

At this moment, Empress Ye Ningzhi looked incredibly alluring, her eyes seemingly capable of devouring everything!

"What, judging by your eyes, you still seem quite unconvinced?"

...

Who knew how long passed.

"Whew..."

"Wife, it's been so long, actually, I've prepared a surprise for you, do you know?"

Su Xuan laughed.

"What surprise?"

Upon hearing this, Empress Ye Ningzhi was immediately delighted. This was the first time Su Xuan had said he prepared a surprise for her!

How could Empress Ye Ningzhi not be happy? When she was with Ning Wuyong, Ning Wuyong had never prepared any so-called surprises for her.

Was she finally experiencing it with Su Xuan now?

"It's a good thing!"

Su Xuan had a mischievous smile.

Then, to Empress Ye Ningzhi's astonished gaze, her room door was slowly pushed open, and the face that appeared was none other than Ning Yixuan!
