Yun Zhi Yue smiled with satisfaction. "Elders, rest assured, I may not be a good person, but I won’t harm my own. I suppose I’ll go meet that Han Clan's Shaozongzhang."
After the two left their address, Yun Zhi Yue declined to let anyone follow her and reluctantly withdrew. However, considering the safety of her outing, with the Emperor present, it was natural that Shao Zong would not be watched closely.
Once everyone had departed, Yun Zhi Yue turned to Li Shang. "Master, there's no rush in practicing swordsmanship; I’m going out for a bit."
Li Shang waved his hand.
Yun Zhi Yue paused before walking over, only to be pulled into a cold embrace, her waist being kneaded and toyed with.
Ben Jun didn’t say she couldn’t go out; there was no need to be so cautious.
Yun Zhi Yue gritted her teeth. How could she not be careful? Just look at what this person was doing! Was there any semblance of a serious master about him?
"Perhaps I should send a male disciple to attend to you tomorrow?" she suggested, her expression shifting slightly.
"No need," Ben Jun replied. "I don’t like others getting too close."
Damn it! She didn’t like it either!
Her protests were in vain; she could only concede reluctantly.
By the Cloud Mist Bath, where dozens could swim together in a butterfly stroke, Li Shang opened his arms, waiting for her to undress.
Even though the hall was filled with the mist of the Ice Spirit Spring, obscuring their figures, Yun Zhi Yue still felt incredibly awkward and found it hard to extend her hands.
Li Shang gazed at the person before him who was looking down, a mischievous smile creeping onto his lips as he calmly urged, "Undress. Why are you dawdling?"
Yun Zhi Yue cursed inwardly; unfortunately, the Reincarnation Stone wasn’t there—no one was with her.
She had no choice but to steel herself and reach for her black belt, tilting her head as she began to remove her clothes piece by piece.
When her fingers brushed against bare skin on her chest, she nearly lost control and wanted to scream in frustration. Just then, he moved aside and stepped into the Ice Pool.
He added with a teasing tone, "Ben Jun only wanted you to take off your outer garment. You almost took everything off—aren't you shy? You're a girl; be a bit more reserved."
Cao Cao Cao! This was definitely intentional!
If he just wanted her to take off her outer robe, he could have stopped her after she finished—why remain silent all this time? What a teasing man!
Kneeling by the edge of the pool, she scooped water repeatedly with a jade ladle and poured it over his broad shoulders. The crystal-clear water from the Ice Spirit Spring flowed down inch by inch over his perfect physique before disappearing into the pool below.
Honestly speaking, this was torturous. Watching that flawless body again and again was mesmerizing but also infuriating.
Yun Zhi Yue found herself unable to look away, despite her reluctance. She tossed aside the jade ladle and began to gently wash Li Shang's long hair. As she continued, she couldn't help but feel a sense of disbelief. When had she become someone who could naturally do such things for another?
Even though she feared the Imperial Realm, her nature would usually compel her to find a way to avoid this bathing ritual. Yet here she was, washing Li Shang's hair without a second thought.
As she gazed at the man's bare back, a flicker of doubt crossed her mind. Could it be that Li Shang was... No, that was impossible. Entering the Imperial Realm would surely bring about some signs; when Li Shang entered the Imperial Realm, the heavens themselves had reacted. How could it possibly be him?
The Ming Wang Dan was part of the Imperial Realm, and there was no way it could have crossed over to the heavenly realm. Moreover, with so many Emperors around and their interactions with Li Shang, how could anyone confuse his identity?
