246: The changing status of the three women

Su Li drew out her tone in satisfaction. Her fingertips did not leave, but instead traced along Luo Qingcheng's smooth jawline, gently caressing her cheek with a teasing motion.

"How did I not notice before that our little sister Qingcheng is so adorable, even when she's angry and feeling stifled?"

As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at Leng Yue: "Second Sister, don't you agree?"

Leng Yue remained as aloof as ever, merely nodding slightly: "Indeed, it has a unique charm."

She didn't say much, but her words fell on Luo Qingcheng's ears, making her feel even more humiliated than Su Li's teasing.

This meant that even Leng Yue, who was always aloof and taciturn, had tacitly accepted the shift in status and stood on Su Li's side.

Luo Qingcheng's face flushed red and then paled. Feeling the warmth of Su Li's fingertips on her cheek, the sensation made her whole body uncomfortable, filled with shame and indignation.

She wanted to turn her head away to avoid it, but she found that she couldn't even manage such a tiny act of resistance.

"Look at this skin. As expected of the Eternal Silence Empress, it's so well-maintained."

Su Li pushed her advantage, her fingertips even gently grazing the tip of Luo Qingcheng's nose: "In the future, little sister, if you have any skincare secrets, you must share them with your big sister."

"After all, we will be serving Cao Bu together in the future, and we can't have poor complexions."

She enunciated the word "serving" with particular clarity.

Luo Qingcheng's chest heaved, but she could only force herself to endure it, squeezing a vague "Mm" from her throat.

Cao Bu leaned to one side, watching this scene with great interest, enjoying the process of Su Li disciplining Luo Qingcheng for him.

He reached out and pulled Su Li back into his arms, rubbing the top of her head as a form of praise.

Su Li took the opportunity to snuggle in closer, not forgetting to continue lashing out with her eyes at the stiffly standing Luo Qingcheng.

Cao Bu pointed to Leng Yue and said: "Come, call her Second Sister."

Luo Qingcheng was enraged again: "Cao Bu! I called Su Li First Sister because her strength is greater than mine! On what basis does Leng Yue deserve it?"

Cao Bu signaled to Leng Yue.

Leng Yue stood up and walked toward the entrance of the Time Wheel Emperor Palace.

As she passed by Luo Qingcheng, she said indifferently: "Third Sister, come, let this Second Sister show you her strength."

Luo Qingcheng snorted in dissatisfaction and hurriedly followed.

Not long after, the two of them came out.

Just like before, Leng Yue was calm and composed.

Luo Qingcheng, however, had two panda eyes, becoming completely symmetrical.

"Call her Second Sister. If you don't, that's fine too; just be a Maidservant from now on." Cao Bu spoke again, his tone brooking no doubt.

Luo Qingcheng had no choice, and called out coldly: "Second Sister."

Leng Yue's face remained aloof, but a trace of almost imperceptible amusement flashed in her eyes.

She walked back to Cao Bu's side, not sitting down immediately, but turning to Luo Qingcheng with a calm voice: "Third Sister, since you are here, you might as well settle in."

Luo Qingcheng looked up abruptly: "What do you mean?"

Leng Yue said indifferently: "It means, recognize reality and accept the status quo."

"Gu Qingtian has already become the past; our man now is Cao Bu."

She paused: "At the very least, between the sheets, Cao Bu's talent and ability are far beyond what Gu Qingtian could compare to."

"This is not to humiliate you, nor is it a degradation of ourselves, but a fact."

Luo Qingcheng's face turned pale, her lips trembling, yet she was unable to refute it.

Gu Qingtian was indeed mediocre and dull in that regard, sometimes even unable to perform.

Although she was a noble Empress with a deep mind, she was not without desires.

It was just that for a long time, the pride and responsibility of being the First Mistress had deeply suppressed those secret cravings.

And the experiences with Cao Bu these past few days had forcibly torn away that layer of disguise.

His strong dominance, along with that aggression and control that far exceeded Gu Qingtian's, had shattered her ingrained defenses.

Her body's reaction was the most honest; that extreme pleasure was something she had never experienced before.

Being exposed so bluntly by Leng Yue at this moment, she felt not only shame but also a panic from having her inner secrets seen through.

"You..." Luo Qingcheng's voice was dry: "How can you say such things? It's simply shameless!"

The corners of Leng Yue's mouth curled up imperceptibly.

She took a step forward, approaching Luo Qingcheng: "Third Sister, you know better than I do how cruel reality is."

"Gu Qingtian cannot protect us, nor can he even hold onto his own foundation, but Cao Bu can. He can give us an unprecedented experience and can also provide us with substantial protection."

"Third Sister, in the face of absolute strength, what use is your bit of unwillingness and aloofness, other than making yourself suffer?"

"Besides..." Leng Yue paused, her voice carrying an imperceptible temptation: "Don't you think that compared to Gu Qingtian, Cao Bu makes you feel more like a woman, rather than someone without desire who has cut off all passion?"

Luo Qingcheng shuddered, staring blankly at Leng Yue.

These words opened the door deep in her heart that had always been locked.

What Leng Yue said was correct.

That feeling of close entanglement was something she had never experienced in the past.

And here with Cao Bu, although it was humiliating, the most primitive emotions deep in her body were stirring.

The firmness in her eyes began to waver, and a trace of confusion quietly sprouted.

Leng Yue's words woke her from her final self-deception.

That's right, there is no going back.

Gu Qingtian has already become a thing of the past; her body has already remembered the tremors brought by Cao Bu.

Resist? Unless she wants to completely become a plaything that has lost its mind, or have her Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

Accept? It seems it is not entirely painful and dark.

Cao Bu took all of this in, the smile at the corners of his mouth deepening.

Leng Yue's words were more effective than Su Li taking direct action; they struck straight at the softest part of Luo Qingcheng's heart.

"It seems the communication between you sisters is quite good." Cao Bu spoke lazily, breaking the silence.

He patted the empty space beside him: "Come over, the night is still long."

Leng Yue snuggled over first, while simultaneously leaving a little space for Luo Qingcheng.

Luo Qingcheng stood in place, her heart engaged in a battle between heaven and man.

Her panda eyes were still aching faintly, reminding her of the gap in strength and the uselessness of resistance.

Leng Yue's words echoed in her mind, mixed with her body's memory of the lingering scent of Cao Bu.

Finally, she lowered her head, slowly moved her steps, walked to the spot Leng Yue had left, and lay down with somewhat stiff movements.

This time, she did not deliberately tense her body, nor was she as full of resistance as before.

When Cao Bu's arm reached over Leng Yue and rested on her waist again, she just trembled slightly and silently accepted it.

Even, when Cao Bu's palm gently caressed her waist with a scorching temperature, she actually felt a shameful sense of peace.

Su Li rubbed against Cao Bu's chest, looking up with her charming face: "Cao Bu, look at Third Sister, it seems she has figured it out."

Cao Bu looked down at the charming Su Li, then at the aloof Leng Yue beside him, and finally at Luo Qingcheng on the other side who was trying hard to adapt to her new identity; a strong sense of satisfaction welled up in him.

He tightened his arm, hugging the three warm and soft bodies even closer.

"It's good that you've figured it out. Get along well in the future; whoever doesn't listen will be dealt with by family law."
