    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios<strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios


    How did it feel to have an extremely strong warrior personally guiding them meticulously? Chu Liuyue finally understood it now—it was a living hell!


    Previously, she felt that she was hard-working enough during her cultivation. But after meeting Dugu Mobao, she knew that she was especially wrong!


    ording to what he said, the weak should know that they were weak. Anyway, the selection for the princess consort had ended, and everything here had concluded. Hence, she should properly cultivate.


    Chu Liuyue tried to defend herself. “A-actually, I shouldn’t be that bad, right? Yesterday, I tested an ‘11’ on that Extreme God Sundial…”


    Dugu Mobao seemed to be unaffected as hezily looked up. “So what? Aren’t you still a mere stage-seven warrior now?”


    Chu Liuyue felt that she was harshly hit again. Suddenly, a thought surfaced in her mind, and she looked up at the duo in front of her. “Oh right, there’s something I forgot to ask previously. His Highness’s chessboard… seems to be quite simr to Big Baby’s?”


    Dugu Mobao and Rong Xiu fell silent in unison.


    After a moment, Dugu Mobao said, “Tidy up first. I’le again 15 minutester.”


    Then, he turned around and left in small steps with his chest high up.


    But for some reason, Chu Liuyue felt that his back view seemed guilty for some reason.


    From the corner of her eye, she looked toward Rong Xiu.


    Rong Xiu gently said, “Senior is extremely strong, and it’s a rare chance to cultivate with him. Yue’er, you must cherish it properly. I… won’t disturb you anymore.”


    Then, he also nned to turn around to leave.


    “Wait a minute!” Chu Liuyue suddenly called out to him. “Has everyone in the divisions left?”


    Rong Xiu tured around. “Some have left, and a portion of them are still here.”


    As if guessing what she wanted to ask, Rong Xiu added, “The people from Grotto-Heaven Cliff are still here.”


    Chu Liuyue then rxed. “That’s good. I previously promised that I would treat Lin Zhifei, and Master Lin and the rest have treated me quite well. I can’t go back on my word.”


    She nced at Rong Xiu. “Can I ask them to stay here for a few days until Lin Zhife’’s health gets better?”


    Rong Xiu raised his sharp brows. “Actually, the Sky-Cloud Empire also has a few heavenly doctors that are very strong.”


    Chu Liuyue thought for a moment but still shook her head. “We already agreed on it back then, so it’s not good for me to go back on my word. Besides, his body’s main problem has been solved. He’ll get better after he recuperates for a few days, and it won’t take too much time or effort.”


    Rong Xiu paused and suddenly moved a step forward. He held her chin with one hand and lowered his head to kiss her.


    She was sitting down, and he was standing up, so they originally had a height difference.


    ‘When he suddenly lowered his body, a great suppression overwhelmed her. Before Chu Liuyue could react, she was already surrounded by his familiar cold fragrance.


    The next moment, her slightly cold lips swiftly tuned hot.


    Chu Liuyue instinctively stretched out her hand to hook his neck. She then raised her head slightly and inched forward.


    Rong Xiu held her waist with one hand as if wanting to push her into him.


    Her waist was slim, soft, and smooth.


    Chu Liuyue lightly grunted and turned around him.


    Rong Xiu’s hand suddenly tightened.


    Then, Chu Liuyue went near his ear, and she could even see his flushed ear tips.


    She breathed out gently and lightly whispered to him, “Your Highness, you’re the cutest when your body is frail.”


    Any man who heard this wouldn’t be able to maintain calmness, let alone in this situation. But just as Rong Xiu was about to take action, Chu Liuyue swiftly removed herself from his arms and gently patted his shoulders at the same time. “Okay, it’s gettingte. Your Highness, you should get going.”


    Then, she stood up and nned to leave.


    Rong Xiu hugged her from behind.


    Chu Liuyue was considered tall and slim amongst women, but she was still tiny whenpared to Rong Xiu. As his steel arm hugged her, she was easily wrapped into his tight embrace.


    Rong Xiu ced his chin on her shoulders, and his voice was hoarse. “You did it on purpose.”


    Chu Liuyue sneered. “It’s good if you know it, Your Highness.”


    Rong Xiu paused for a while and said very regretfully, “We should’ve gotten married earlier.”


    Chu Liuyue raised her brows and tumed around to look at him. “Then, why don’t you tell me more about us in the past?”


    Rong Xiu suddenly chuckled softly and pecked her lips before lowering his voice to say, “Yue’er, that’s not how you do pillow talk.”


    His voice was low and melodious with a hint of hoarseness, which caused Chu Liuyue’s ears to turn red.


    Rong Xiu finally stopped after forcefully getting back half the city. Then, he meticulously reminded her of a few things before leaving.


    In the blink of an eye, Chu Liuyue was left in the room alone. She turned to look at the door, squinted her eyes, and lightly snorted. You can hide from me once, but not forever. I’ll eventually know everything that I should!


    Not long after Chu Liuyue tidied up, Dugu Mobao came in once again ording to their previous agreement.


    At this time, Chu Liuyue was already sitting next to the chessboard by the window, clearly waiting for him.


    Seeing him arrive, Chu Liuyue smiled and said, “Big Baby, sit!”


    Dugu Mobao walked over and sat opposite her calmly.


    “Let’s start!” said Chu Liuyue.


    Dugu Mobao’s sleeves moved slightly as he nced at her rather hesitantly.


    Chu Liuyue seriously said, “I promise I won’t ask about those things again.”


    Dugu Mobao waved his chubby hand, and countless rays of light flew out, instantly weaving into a chessboard between the duo!


    “It’s not that I can’t tell you.” Dugu Mobao ced a chess piece down first and said formally, “The faster you break through, the stronger you get. With that, the more things you will know.


    Chu Liuyue nodded and ced a piece down as well. “I know.”


    After Rong Xiu came out of the bedroom, he went straight to the study.


    It had just been a day, but there were many reports on the table. Without thinking, he also knew that most of them were about Chu Liuyue being chosen to be the princess consort.


    Of course, as Chu Liuyue was chosen legitimately, they didn’t have any special legitimate reasons to rebut him—apart from her background.


    Even though Chu Liuyue was already tested to have a result of ’11’ on the Extreme God Sundial, this still wasn’t enough in some people’s eyes.


    Rong Xiu casually opened and nced at them before sending them all back, clearly not nning to care about it. Anyway, she’s already been given the position. No matter what they want, they can’t cause much trouble.


    ‘When Rong Xiu finished handling thest report, a strong aura suddenly approached from outside.


    Rong Xiu’s gaze flickered, and he looked up.


    The study door opened wide. The next moment, a figure already appeared at the door!


    It was Respected Elder Tong Chuan!


    Rong Xiuughed, looking nonchnt as he asked, “Elder Tong Chuan, why did youe back so quickly?”


    Respected Elder Tong Chuan’s face was filled with unconceble anger.. He walked over with long steps and angrily said, “So you purposely led me away to choose that unknown Shangguan Yue as the princess consort?!”
