After a long silence, finally, Xie Ming Zheng walked closer to Xie Liao Xuan's room. Without a word, Xie Ming Zheng smashed the door open completely. He walked through Xie Liao Xuan's residence while spreading his eyes, catching the dirty things that his half-sister had done.
However, when Xie Ming Zheng arrived at Xie Liao Xuan's room, it looked empty. It made him look around for where Xie Liao Xuan was. This was impossible, and he had seen Xie Liao Xuan making love to a woman. But how could it be, with such a short time, even the two of them weren't around, and what was even more absurd was, Xie Liao Xuan's room looked tidy? Did his stepbrother use his powers to conjure up all of this?
"Are you looking for me, Prince Xie Ming Zheng?" the voice sounded faint, along with Xie Liao Xuan's lyre accompaniment.
Xie Ming Zheng looked shocked, seeing Xie Liao Xuan sitting on the chair where his majesty was. His clothes were still as complete as when he was crowned earlier, leaving only his oversized robe. Even the oversized crown still looks neat on his head.
Xie Ming Zheng seemed to be getting more and more emotional, he wanted to kill this figure in front of him, but he couldn't. Until finally, both his hands clenched tightly as he stared at Xie Liao Xuan.
"Why are you looking like that? Do you think you can take me down again this time?" Xie Liao Xuan's words sounded satirical. The sound of the zither was getting louder and louder. The atmosphere inside Xie Liao Xuan's place seemed to be very dense. From around Xie Liao, Xuan's body appeared white and blacklight simultaneously. Then the harp's chanting stopped when the strings broke and hurt Xie Liao Xuan's fingers.
"Aren't you celebrating your victory with a woman? It seems, you are observant enough that all that is visible now disappears," Xie Ming Zheng relaxed in a tone as he sat on one of the chairs there with a smile etched on the corners of his lips. But his eyes kept looking, where was the woman who made love to her stepsister earlier.
"Woman? Are you delirious? Do you think the silhouettes that appear on the outside are as real as they are on the inside?"
Xie Liao Xuan then released his strength, thus forming a mist like lovers in love, then he smiled again, looking at Xie Ming Zheng.
"Maybe that's what you saw," he continued.
"A pink moon and a pair of phoenixes, is something you cannot deny, Your Highness."
"Then will I have to make love to you tonight, so that what appears in the sky becomes a reality, Prince Xie Ming Zheng?"
Xie Ming Zheng immediately threw a knife at Xie Liao Xuan. But the knife seemed to have been deliberately missed, only a slight difference then the knife hurt Xie Liao Xuan's cheek. Then the blade pierced through and stuck into the wood that was behind Xie Liao Xuan.
However, Xie Ming Zhe hoped for did not come true, and he knew that his younger brother was doing the trick with his knowledge. He tried to lure the woman out of her hiding place. As he thought, it would most likely be around Xie Liao Xuan. But unfortunately, when he threw the knife, there wasn't even a single object that indicated the woman's presence—making him have to be forced to give in again and think of other ways to catch his brother red-handed.
"So let me enjoy my harp. While waiting, maybe there is a Goddess who is willing to stop for a while in my room,"
Xie Ming Zhe left immediately after he violently shook off his robes. After confirming that his brother was not there. Xie Liao Xuan immediately held his breath and waved his hand.
Angier immediately fell right on her lap, her body only wrapped by a very thin piece of cloth. Xie Liao Xuan then smiled, seeing Anqier's deathly pale face. An extremely frightening face.
"Has he left?" asked Angier in her trembling voice. Xie Liao Xuan just nodded. Then he lowered his face, waving her hand again. All the doors of Xie Liao Xuan's room were immediately closed tightly together with the light in the room.
Again, Xie Liao Xuan licked Anqier's lips, then pulled the cloth covering his female body. His hands were already wailing everywhere until Angier let out a sigh. Then, Xie Liao Xuan's lips moved to Anqier's neck, caressing his passionately.
Tonight, it seems that the two of them enjoyed a long night together. Nights full of love, nights the majesty of the sky witnessed them.

"So what's the point of the Sea King being here?" a banquet for the Sea King that came today seemed quite festive. Moreover, when the Heavenly King found out, what the Sea King brought was a bit too much. It's not like an old friend wants to meet, but more than that.
"I just wanted to congratulate your second son, for officially being crowned the Crown Prince. Last night, I couldn't say it personally. So, I came here today."
The Heavenly King then laughed, then he ordered one of the palace maids to tell his son if there were guests who wanted to meet. Then, he poured the wine into the Sea King's glass.
"You're too shy, have a drink," he asked.
A shy-looking girl kept nudging her father's arm, causing her father to glance at his daughter hesitantly.
"Oh, introduce my daughter. Her name is Ling Ming Yu, isn't she beautiful?" asked the Sea King.
The Heavenly King nodded in agreement, and then he looked at his friend's daughter. Now he was starting to know what his friend's purpose in coming here was.
"She's my only daughter, a bit spoiled, but her martial arts skills are amazing. She can do a lot of things. And from other things, she is very happy in the business of writing love poems,"
"Wow, your daughter is truly extraordinary," replied the Heavenly King again.
"Then, does your son, Crown Prince Xie Liao Xuan already have a potential mate to be made Queen of the heavenly palace?" asked the Sea King, who managed to make the Heavenly King put down his glass.
He was really at a loss for what to say because, for him, in truth, his son's happiness was his main priority, more than anyone else's. Nevertheless, how should he say that? At a time when his friend had even brought his daughter here. Wouldn't it be an insult? And what will happen is a war between the two camps—the kingdom of the sky and the kingdom of the seas. Truly, the Heavenly King didn't want that to happen.
"Oh, I don't think so," he answered doubtfully because he had also never seen that his son was interested in one of the Goddess who was here.
"Then, for the sake of our friendship. Do you agree if this daughter of mine becomes the consort of the Crown Prince as the successor of the heavenly kingdom? Let this daughter of mine be a Queen for your son."
Long ago, the Heavenly King was still silent. Then, he nodded hesitantly. A smile he showed, even though his heart was wavering.
"His Majesty …" whispered God Li Qian Long. "Shouldn't you have asked the Crown Prince about this matter first? Of course, his approval was the main thing. Moreover, did His Majesty the King see the celestial phenomena last night? It could be that the Crown Prince has made his own choices."
"Shut up, Lord Li. Don't you know who I'm talking to? And isn't it commonplace for a King to arrange a royal marriage for his children?"
Hearing this, Lord Li Qian Long immediately fell silent. After he apologized, he immediately returned to his place. Although in his heart, he was upset with the current situation.
And not long after, Xie Liao Xuan came. He was dressed in blue with a white robe that hung down to the ground. His steps are slow, but he looks dashing. His face is soft but looks firm. His eyes caught the figure of the Sea King and a woman, but Xie Liao Xuan still didn't understand what it meant.
Meanwhile, Ling Ming Yu stared at Xie Liao Xuan without blinking. See the face of the future Heavenly King. His face was so perfect. Every inch of his face was completely flawless. Ling Ming Yu's eyes widened as Xie Liao Xuan's eyes stared at her.
