470: Chapter 470 Give Me a Kiss

Tianyuan Capital City, Moon Shadow Palace.

In a side hall, Ling Hao sat at the head of the table.

A slender palace maid carrying a tea tray approached, her eyes downcast. She set down the teacup, then dropped to her knees with a "thump."

"Sect Master, I like you! I like you so much!"

She held up a pink-and-white bodice embroidered with twin lotus flowers high above her head, her voice trembling:

"Please, please accept my chastity...!"

Ling Hao's hand, which was holding the teacup, paused. He looked at the bodice held above her head—a symbol of a woman's most intimate token—and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

This scene... why did it feel so familiar? Like a plot point in some... well... game?

He instinctively looked outside the hall.

Not far away, amidst the pavilions and waterside structures, several palace maids were whispering together.

"Sister Qi has courage, and she's well-endowed too. Maybe she'll really catch the Sect Master's eye..."

"Sigh, I'm just mediocre, I'm really afraid the Sect Master won't fancy me..."

Ling Hao's gaze fell back on the kneeling palace maid.

She had a voluptuous figure, and the front of her palace dress was stretched over a full, proud curve.

Without the restraint of the bodice, that pair of ample breasts sagged slightly, making them look even heavier and more real.

Hmm, she was indeed "well-endowed"...

Four figures appeared silently behind the palace maid.

Ling Hao's eyes met those of the leader, Gu Qingyao. Gu Qingyao nodded slightly and spoke in a gentle voice, breaking the awkward scene:

"Bai Mengqi, you may leave first."

The palace maid, Bai Mengqi, who was kneeling on the ground, shuddered violently. When she turned and saw the Empress, the Prime Minister, the Pavilion Master of Tianshu, and the Hall Master of Tianxuan standing behind her, her face turned deathly pale. She forced a smile, hurriedly put away the bodice, and retreated with her head bowed.

Ling Hao chuckled:

"It seems your authority is quite heavy; she was scared to death."

Gu Qingyao glared at him:

"She was caught trying to steal the Emperor, of course she's scared. This is the Moon Shadow Palace; if it were a Mortal Dynasty, she would have been dragged out and executed the moment she was discovered."

"Aren't you the Emperor of this Tianyuan Immortal Dynasty?"

Gu Qingyao rolled her eyes:

"You are the true Emperor of this Moon Shadow Palace. All the women in this Moon Shadow Palace, aren't they all yours to take? Including the Prime Minister and the heads of the three departments... I am merely an Empress in charge of managing the Moon Shadow Palace."

Ling Hao smirked and opened his arms:

"Then, my Empress, come here and give me a kiss?"

Gu Qingyao glanced at the three people beside her.

Qu Qingzhu and Li Sumei looked left and right respectively, while Liu Sisi looked up at the sky. The three of them remained motionless.

Gu Qingyao sighed and took out a Jade Slip, handing it to Ling Hao: "Let's talk business. This is what you asked me to investigate."

Ling Hao took it, and Spiritual Qi surged into it. Two beams of spiritual light shot out from the Jade Slip, transforming into two light screens in mid-air—one showing a woman, the other an old man.

Ling Hao's mouth curled up,

"It really is Zhu Rongyang. He's come at the right time; the previous hidden moves can be recovered."

His gaze fell on the other light screen.

The woman was wearing a crimson-gold long dress with a cross-collar, interwoven with fire-red and gold threads.

She was covered from head to toe. However, the fullness of her chest was almost bursting out of the clothing.

Her brows were haughty, her long hair was tied high, and a few stray strands fell by her cheeks, contrasting with her fair skin and slightly raised chin. She was beautifully flamboyant and sharp.

She was indeed very beautiful.

Among the women Ling Hao had seen, she counted as T1 tier.

Especially that pair of ample breasts... hmm, big knockers.

He only took a few extra looks; he was just slightly interested.

Seeing Ling Hao staring at the light screen, lost in thought, Gu Qingyao felt a bit jealous and spoke sourly:

"My Emperor, what is it? Do you like her? Do you want to take a concubine? Although we are enemies, with your world-shaking reputation, wouldn't this little woman have to submit obediently?"

Ling Hao came back to his senses. First there was Yu Lingshuang, then Gu Qingyao.

One after another, they were addicted to roleplaying, right? They all see me as a lecher; am I really that kind of person?

It seems I really am.

He pulled his thoughts back, reached out, and pulled Gu Qingyao into his arms, laughing with a sinister "hehe.":

"What a beautiful young lady, be my mountain bandit's First Wife today!"

Gu Qingyao was stunned, then immediately got into character.

She struggled, pushing him away with both hands, and cried out in panic:

"Let me go! I am a woman from a respectable family; how could I associate with a... with a mountain bandit like you! Xiaozhu! Xiaomei! Xiaosi! Come quickly and save me!"

Qu Qingzhu, Li Sumei, and Liu Sisi looked at each other.

The Sect Master and the Empress... they really know how to play.

Fortunately, they had been firm earlier and hadn't left, otherwise they would have missed out on the fun.

The three of them exchanged glances, suppressing their laughter, and immediately joined the roleplay, rushing over.

"Let go of our Young Miss!" Qu Qingzhu shouted coquettishly.

"Young Miss, I'm coming!" Li Sumei immediately moved forward.

"Bold bandit, how dare you be so rude!" Liu Sisi kept a straight face, but the corners of her eyes were curved.

Ling Hao laughed loudly:

"You've come at the right time! You shall be my Second Wife, Third Wife, and Fourth Wife!"

The hall doors closed silently.

"The First Wife can't take it anymore... let the Second Wife step up!"

"Oh my, this position... you go there..."

"Xiaomei can't take it anymore either, Xiaosi, you come..."

...

"I, I... Sect Master..."

"Weren't you quite fierce just now? Hmm?"

"That was... for the Young Miss... hmm..."

"Xiaosi, you're shouting even louder than your Young Miss."

"...Shut up!"

...

"Should I wear silk stockings?"

"Like this? ..."

"Hey, you can't eat that!"

...

The sun slanted westward, casting mottled light and shadows through the carved window lattices. Inside the hall, low coquettish moans were heard from time to time, followed by a few pleas for mercy mixed with laughter.

The sunlight outside the window moved inch by inch, crawling from the lattice to the pillar, then sliding from the pillar to the ground, and finally sinking into the distant horizon.

The sunset glow dyed the entire Moon Shadow Palace in shades of golden red.

...

Haoran Tower, third-floor private room.

Ye Xinglan looked at the three little cuties in front of her, feeling a bit of a headache.

You Ruo held a bright red Spirit Fruit, her tiger ears pricked up, and her amber beast eyes were watery.

"Teacher, this is my clan's Crimson Flame Spirit Fruit... it only bears one fruit every three thousand years. Eating it can refine the Physical Body and greatly increase fire resistance. I'll give it to you, please teach me, okay?"

Jin Linger handed over a small, delicate short sword with an expressionless face. The blade was dark gold, with scales faintly flowing on it. She said coldly, "This is a High Grade Dao Artifact of my Golden-Scaled Black Python clan, called the 'Golden Scale Sting.' It is incomparably sharp and can break through Protective Aura. Please teach us."

Hua Lian held a white jade bottle, her pink hair hanging down, and she said timidly with her small face, "This is... my clan's Hundred Flower Jade Dew Pill, three pills in total. Taking them can cleanse the body of Impurities, preserve youth, and nourish the essence. It is also helpful for comprehending the Dao. Brother said it is very useful. If you teach us... we will give it to you."

The three little ones looked up in unison, gazing pitifully at Ye Xinglan, like three small beasts waiting to be fed.

Ye Xinglan's heart was a mix of emotions.

The good news was that Ling Hao didn't seem to have actually laid a hand on them.

They were still clean; nothing had happened. Otherwise, they wouldn't have come to ask her to "teach them."

The bad news was that she didn't seem able to withstand such pitiful pleading.

She rubbed her eyebrows and sighed in her heart.

Why did she have to teach them how to please him? Did she have to teach these three little ones those tricks he had used on her?

Ye Xinglan thought for a moment, then put on a stern little face.

"Go find your Sister Liuli and ask for three pairs of white silk stockings to wear."

"Then... leave your clothes off and wait for him on the bed."

"Remember, keep the stockings on, and don't wash your feet."
