40: Am I playing so extravagantly?

Chapter 40: Am I That Kinky?

Fenglin Palace.

Pei Xuanji carefully examined the black, lacquer-like object in her hand. She brought it to her nose and inhaled, detecting a faint, sweet aroma.

Driven by curiosity, her red lips parted slightly, and she bit off a small piece.

It was slightly firm at first, but gradually, a rich yet non-sticky fragrance spread, with a hint of bitterness.

Enveloped by her mouth, the chocolate slowly began to soften.

It was a little soft, a little lingering, and the thick, sweet liquid slowly flowed down her throat.

Gently sucking, slowly swallowing, the captivating flavor made her reluctant to finish it all at once.

Pei Xuanji's throat bobbed, and she closed her Phoenix eyes, savoring the taste.

Before long, that small piece of chocolate dissolved in her mouth, leaving only an aftertaste.

After tasting it, Pei Xuanji looked at the remaining chocolate in her hand. This time, she bit off half of it directly.

"Shuangyue."

Shangguan Shuangyue, who was standing nearby, immediately stepped forward.

"Your Majesty."

Pei Xuanji held up the remaining half of the chocolate in her hand and asked,

"Have you ever seen this kind of dessert?"

Shangguan Shuangyue moved a few steps closer, examined it carefully, and then shook her head.

"No, I haven't. Does Your Majesty find the taste good?"

"Hmm, it is indeed more novel than the pastries I've eaten before."

"Then I will go call Li Yunshu and ask him where he bought it."

Pei Xuanji shook her head.

"No need. If you ask, that fellow will probably try to negotiate terms with me again."

The empress put the remaining half into her mouth, then picked up the sun's notes.

Hearing this, Shangguan Shuangyue said no more and silently retreated to the side.

Night fell.

After dinner, Pei Xuanji once again picked up the sun's notes.

Her mouth unconsciously smacked, feeling as if something was missing.

Recalling the dessert she had eaten, for some reason, she felt a lingering sense of unfulfillment.

That piece was simply too small; she hadn't been satisfied before it was gone.

Shaking her head and dismissing these thoughts, her attention once again fell on the notes.

However, after only two glances, she closed the notes directly.

"Where is Li Yunshu?"

Shangguan Shuangyue was stunned for a moment, then spoke.

"According to Your Majesty's decree, he has already been admitted into the Imperial Guards and should be patrolling the palace at this time."

"Go call him."

"Yes."

Shangguan Shuangyue bowed and exited the main hall.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, she returned.

"Your Majesty, Li Yunshu is gone."

"What?" Pei Xuanji put down the book in her hand. "I knew it wouldn't be simple for that fellow to want to enter the palace."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, your servant has already ordered people to search for his whereabouts in the palace."

"No need. I want to see what he intends to do."

Pei Xuanji rose and walked out of Fenglin Palace. With one step, her figure vanished from the spot... After entering the room, Li Yunshu closed the door and immediately felt a warmth, while the air was somewhat moist and humid.

He took out a fire starter to illuminate the area, observing his surroundings.

Before him was a large hall, and after passing through it, he saw a massive pool.

The dome here was very high, and inside the pool was a hot spring.

At this moment, Li Yunshu roughly understood that this was probably where the empress usually bathed.

However, it was certainly impossible for her to be here at this time.

Since he had stumbled upon this place by chance, he naturally couldn't leave empty-handed.

He simply walked around the pool, but unfortunately, he didn't find a single item that was 'original'.

After confirming it was safe, he put away the fire starter, then took out the memory orb Chen Hong had given him from his storage ring.

Although he knew it was somewhat dangerous to watch this in the imperial palace, he also found it a bit exciting.

Moreover, he couldn't resist his curiosity, so he didn't even want to wait a single night.

Under the activation of spiritual power, a light screen was projected into the air, casting reflections in the pool.

Because the surroundings were dim, only the light screen above the pool emitted light, giving it a feeling of watching a movie in a cinema.

At this point, Li Yunshu realized that although this memory orb had been painted with red lacquer before, a small, soybean-sized area had been left unpainted.

And this position happened to be directly facing the bottom of Sanqing Hall, like a hidden camera, recording everything that happened in Sanqing Hall.

Because the shape of the light screen in mid-air showed that only a circular area was filmed, while the rest was black and obscured.

"Who put this thing on top of the main hall, anyway?"

He still couldn't understand what the purpose of placing such a memory orb in Sanqing Hall was; there was nothing valuable in the hall.

Moreover, if it was meant to act as a monitor, there was no need to paint the memory orb red for camouflage.

However, now that Master had Ascended, there was no one he could ask to find out.

Besides, it might not even have been Master who placed it there.

It's possible that when Sanqing Hall was first built, this memory orb was already placed there.

As the light screen played, Li Yunshu found that it started with the content he was looking for.

At the entrance of Sanqing Hall, two figures kissed, embracing as they entered Sanqing Hall.

It was only then that he realized that in the light screen, the empress had not revealed her true form, and she was fully clothed.

Li Yunshu stroked his chin, his thoughts drifting.

So, what I saw back then, the empress growing wings on her back and tearing her Dragon Robe, was a hallucination caused by eating bleeding blue?

Is the empress a Dragon or not, after all?

Soon, he no longer had the mind to ponder whether the empress was a Dragon or a human.

Because next, the empress in the light screen was pressed beneath him, and a pair of silk socks flew off.

Her slightly swaying jade feet were propped on his shoulders.

At this point, Li Yunshu immediately took out the other memory orb he had in his hand.

To be safe, such things naturally needed to be backed up.

And so, one memory orb played, and another memory orb recorded.

Li Yunshu sat on the ground, his eyes fixed on the light screen without blinking.

A pair of large hands grabbed the lapels of the Dragon Robe and pulled hard... Then Li Yunshu's vision went white.

Under the holy light, the light screen seemed to have turned white.

Li Yunshu's mouth slightly agape, he murmured,

"So big, so white."

It wasn't until he saw himself pressing the empress onto the incense altar, and simultaneously picking up the whisk from the incense altar.

With a series of sounds, marks were drawn across the empress's buttocks.

Li Yunshu couldn't help but gasp.

"Am I that kinky?"

In the main hall, Li Yunshu, who was sitting on the ground, swallowed, feeling his mouth dry.

As the scenes on the light screen played, he quickly discovered that the content this memory orb could store was limited.

As time passed, newly recorded content would overwrite previously recorded content.

Therefore, the content he started playing was the scene of him and the empress misbehaving in Sanqing Hall.

If the memory orb continued to record, then this part of the content would be overwritten.

Of course, Chen Hong had already turned off the recording function of this memory orb, unless spiritual power was activated again.

Li Yunshu couldn't help but feel a bit fortunate; if Chen Hong hadn't discovered it in time, he wouldn't have seen this precious footage.

He was too engrossed in his thoughts of Feeling to notice a graceful figure standing behind him.
