Jiang HuanYu escorted Qian Xinrou back to her boudoir.
Upon entering the room, he was greeted by a faint, refreshing fragrance. The decor was simple yet elegant, creating a tranquil and soothing atmosphere.
"Creak."
Jiang HuanYu turned and closed the door behind him.
Qian Xinrou moved toward a chair, intending to sit down.
Suddenly, with a swift motion, Jiang HuanYu appeared on the chair before her, and as she sat down, her soft figure landed directly on his lap.
Her cheeks flushed, and her body began to heat up.
Jiang HuanYu gently pulled her into his embrace, her delicate back pressing against his chest. Their faces were close, so close that their breaths mingled, though he maintained a slight distance between them, gazing deeply into her eyes.
"Xinrou, why do you look so nervous?" Jiang HuanYu smiled warmly.
Qian Xinrou's gaze flitted away shyly. "I… I've never…" she stammered softly.
Hearing this, Jiang HuanYu chuckled. "Don't worry. You are so lovable; I would never be rough with you."
With that, he leaned in and kissed her gently on the lips.
Qian Xinrou, unversed in such intimacy, found herself breathless and unprepared.
Without breaking the kiss, Jiang HuanYu scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the jade bed. With a wave of his hand, the room's night lamp extinguished, plunging them into darkness.
(Scene omitted for discretion)
It was a night destined to be unforgettable.
Even Jiang HuanYu was surprised that his first woman in this world wasn't Xiao Qingli but Qian Xinrou.
The Next Morning
Sunlight streamed into the room as Qian Xinrou lay on the jade bed, dressed in a pink robe. Exhausted from the night's events, she slept soundly, her serene face glowing with a hint of contentment.
Jiang HuanYu, seated in a chair nearby, was already meditating to stabilize his strength.
The night had been… intense.
As he recalled Qian Xinrou's initial cooperation, her gentle demeanor midway, and the unspeakable passion that followed, he couldn't help but smirk. It was a storm of emotions, akin to waves crashing against the shore.
Opening his eyes, Jiang HuanYu finished adjusting his aura just as a knock sounded at the door.
"Your Majesty, are you awake?" Jiang King's voice came from outside.
Jiang HuanYu responded calmly, "What is it?"
"The Left Chancellor has returned, but the situation is not ideal," Jiang King said gravely, his tone tinged with concern.
Jiang HuanYu's brows furrowed. "I see. Wait for me in the guest room; I'll be there shortly."
"Understood."
As the footsteps outside receded, Jiang HuanYu stood and turned toward the bed.
Qian Xinrou was awake, her face still flushed with weariness. Her usually neat twin braids were slightly undone, and her hair hung loosely around her face.
"Did I wake you?" Jiang HuanYu asked gently. "Go back to sleep. You're too tired, and it pains me to see you like this."
He walked over and tenderly caressed her cheek.
Qian Xinrou, her eyes still heavy with sleep, murmured weakly, "Is something wrong?"
"Nothing serious," Jiang HuanYu reassured her. "Rest now; you can't even get out of bed. Be good."
His words, paired with his soft touch, made Qian Xinrou feel like a cherished treasure. She nodded obediently, curling back under the covers to return to her dreams.
In the guest room, the atmosphere was tense.
Jiang King, Tie Poyun, Demon Lord Chonglou, the Archer God, and several Godslayer Guards were already present, awaiting Jiang HuanYu's arrival.
When Jiang HuanYu entered, his sharp gaze immediately fell on the injured Left Chancellor, Zuo Xuanqi.
"What happened to you?" Jiang HuanYu asked, his tone serious.
"Your Majesty!" Zuo Xuanqi's face burned with anger. "The Ten Thousand Beasts Forest has gone too far!"
He proceeded to recount the humiliations he had endured in the forest, detailing how their people were ambushed and their precious pills stolen.
As the story unfolded, Jiang HuanYu's expression darkened, his eyes flashing with a cold gleam.
"How bold of the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest to rob me of my pills," he said, a chilling smile tugging at his lips. "If that's the case, they'll repay me tenfold!"
"Your Majesty, shall I eliminate the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest myself?" Demon Lord Chonglou interjected.
A peak-level Heavenly expert, Chonglou was a force to be reckoned with. Blessed with boundless talent and the Heavenly Demon Physique, he was unmatched among his peers, capable of even challenging Semi-Saints. To him, wiping out the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest was a trivial matter.
Chonglou's suggestion startled the others. Left Chancellor Zuo Xuanqi and Jiang King exchanged uneasy glances. They had no idea who Chonglou and the Archer God were or where they had come from. These two, along with the new Godslayer Guards, seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
"Your Majesty, may I ask… who are these two individuals?" Zuo Xuanqi asked curiously.
Jiang HuanYu smiled. "I nearly forgot to introduce them. This is Demon Lord Chonglou, one of the Jiang Empire's revered guests. And this is the Archer God, also an esteemed guest of the empire."
He added, "Do not underestimate them. Both are stronger than Heavenly Realm Fifth Stage experts."
The room fell silent as Jiang King, Zuo Xuanqi, and the others stared in shock.
These two were not just powerful, they were beyond what they could have imagined. Their presence as part of the Jiang Dynasty was nothing short of a monumental advantage.
"With experts like these," Jiang King thought, "our empire is truly unstoppable."
