Chapter 296: I Was the First One Here Anyway!

He wasn’t sure if it was because he had traveled through the night, or because he had been woken up at four in the morning by a palace maid…

Or perhaps it was because the bed and quilt in this palace were simply too comfortable.

Lin Xun slept very soundly during this nap.

He even had a dream.

Lin Xun dreamed he was lying on a patch of grass in the wild, and he had a white cat as a pet.

Every day, he would show this white cat photos of beast-eared girls.

Finally, one day, the cat transformed into a cat girl, and she snuggled sweetly into his arms.

Lin Xun instinctively hugged the cat girl from his dream, stroking her long silver-white hair.

However…

Why did this cat girl smell like Sister Mimi?

And why did the softness in his arms feel so real?

Was this really a dream?

Suddenly, Lin Xun snapped his eyes open!

He saw the unfamiliar ceiling and felt the palace’s silk down quilt covering him.

The pillow was incredibly soft.

Outside the window, the sky had already grown dark.

It seemed he had slept through the entire afternoon.

Regardless, everything seemed perfectly normal.

However…

Lin Xun suddenly looked down!

Sure enough, his gaze met the almond-shaped eyes of the Empress of Qian Kingdom.

The Empress of Qian Kingdom’s eyes blinked, pure and clear, as if she were teasing him—cute yet extremely charming.

“Xiao Xun, you’re awake.”

Xia Xiaomeng straightened up slightly, her hair falling onto Lin Xun’s shoulder. She slowly leaned down and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Feeling the softness of the girl’s lips in his arms, Lin Xun’s whole body shuddered. Only then did he snap back to reality, though his eyes looked somewhat despondent.

“Sister Mimi…”

“Hmm?”

“Xiaomeng! I…”

“What’s wrong?” the Empress of Qian Kingdom asked as she lay on Lin Xun’s chest, her heart overflowing with happiness.

“Am I no longer pure?”

Lin Xun stared at the ceiling, his mind a bit blank, feeling like a virtuous maiden who had been violated by a flower-thief.

“No, you are.”

Xia Xiaomeng cradled Lin Xun’s head, burying it into her cleavage.

“Xiao Xun is still very pure. After all, we haven’t married yet. How could I bear to possess Xiao Xun right now?”

“Really?”

“Yes, really.”

Xia Xiaomeng nodded.

“Then Xiaomeng…”

“Yes?”

“Why do I feel like my body is getting more and more numb?”

Lin Xun lay on the bed and realized he didn’t have a shred of strength left.

If Lin Xun hadn’t guessed wrong, he must have been poisoned.

While neutralizing the poison was just a thought away for him, doing so would expose the fact that he was a Cultivator.

“Because I just gave Xiao Xun some Dream God Water.”

Lying on top of Lin Xun, Xia Xiaomeng straightened her snow-white legs and kicked them up and down playfully.

“Don’t worry, Xiao Xun. This is the Yin-Yang School’s Dream God Water. It’s harmless to you and even has the effect of strengthening the body and tonifying the kidneys. It’s just that ordinary people will be unable to move after drinking it.”

“The effect lasts for three months. You won’t need to eat or drink during those three months.”

“In another hour, you’ll fall asleep.”

“I’ve added my intent into the Dream God Water. Once Xiao Xun falls asleep, all your dreams will be about me.”

“I’ve set up many scenarios. In the dreams, Xiao Xun can do whatever he wants to me.”

Xia Xiaomeng’s eyes curved into crescents, very satisfied with the method she had devised.

This way, she could peacefully move Xiao Xun to her private chambers.

She wouldn’t have to worry about Xiao Xun mingling with the palace maids, nor would she have to worry about him running away.

Moreover, in his dreams, Xiao Xun wouldn’t dream of anyone else; he could only dream of her!

In fact, Xia Xiaomeng hadn’t intended to use Dream God Water at first, but the Yin-Yang School’s ‘Yin-Yang Joy,’ wanting to consummate the relationship immediately so Lin Xun couldn’t escape even if he wanted to.

Xia Xiaomeng understood Lin Xun far too well.

She was extremely certain that if she truly did that, no matter what happened in the future, Xiao Xun would never leave her.

However, Xia Xiaomeng’s idea was rejected by Le Sha.

The Immortal Emperor Body was the strongest in the world, even the strongest sacred body since ancient times!

The method of Dual Cultivation would be immensely beneficial to both parties!

Even though legends said Lin Xun suffered from a great dao injury that supposedly couldn’t be cured, the Immortal Emperor Body could help him fully recover!

If she gave herself to a Mortal, the ancient Masters who possessed the Immortal Emperor Body would probably crawl out of their coffins in rage if they knew.

Le Sha persuaded Xia Xiaomeng: Since Lin Xun would eventually eat the rootless fruit and join the ranks of Cultivators anyway, the benefits would be even greater then, so there was no need to rush.

Xia Xiaomeng thought about it for a while and agreed, so she let Lin Xun off for the time being.

Another important point was that Xia Xiaomeng didn’t want to make things difficult for Lin Xun. She wanted him to propose to her one day so she could give herself to him properly.

“Sleep for three months? Xiaomeng? Why do I have to sleep for three months?” Lin Xun was a bit dazed.

“I can’t tell you that for now, Xiao Xun.”

Xia Xiaomeng gave Lin Xun a light peck on the lips.

In her heart, she felt like she was stealing a snack behind Qingshang’s back, and she even felt a slight pang of guilt toward her.

But Xia Xiaomeng quickly dismissed that guilt.

“I was the first one here anyway!”

“Besides, I’m Qingshang’s older sister! She should let me have a turn for once!”

“In short, I won’t hurt you, Xiao Xun. Just wait for me to return.” Xia Xiaomeng gently stroked Lin Xun’s hair. “When I get back, I’ll tell you everything.”

After speaking, Xia Xiaomeng kissed Lin Xun’s forehead again.

While feeling the girl’s soft lips on his forehead, Lin Xun felt a trace of cool spiritual energy flowing into his body.

This spiritual energy was accelerating the effects of the ‘Dream God Water.’

Lin Xun knew he couldn’t resist, or he would be discovered.

So, he let the medicinal effect take hold and soon entered a dream.

Upon entering the dream, the first scene was his grand wedding with Xiaomeng.

It scared Lin Xun so much he wanted to wake up immediately.

But he held back.

Splitting off a trace of Divine Sense, Lin Xun appeared to have fallen into the dream, but in reality, he was awake and aware of his surroundings.

Then, Lin Xun soon felt his clothes being stripped!

No way?

Was his purity really going to be lost today?

“Qinger, it’s really not that I’m betraying you!”

“It’s just that I’ve been drugged.”

“I don’t know anything!”

Lin Xun closed his eyes and played dead.

However, things didn’t go as Lin Xun expected.

Although he felt like even his underwear was gone…

…he soon felt new clothes being put on him.

“Why are you stripping his clothes?”

A voice sounded from the bedside.

Lin Xun knew this was the strongest Enshrined of the Qian Kingdom, an Immortal Realm Cultivator who practiced both the Yin-Yang School and Daoist paths.

Xia Xiaomeng huffed, “The next time I see Xiao Xun will be in three months. I won’t see him for three months, Master. Can’t I take his clothes to smell on the road?”
