CHAPTER 500: CHAPTER 500: THE SHY HANG CITY EMPRESS! (PLEASE FOLLOW)

On the distant mountaintop, two delicate figures who had been lying down stood up.

Jiang Xue’an’s little face was filled with excitement as she exclaimed, "They kissed, they kissed, the Lord and Lady are finally together."

"Hehe, I told you so, they were always meant to be a couple. No one can tear them apart."

Ziran shot her a glance, "When did you ever say that?"

"Right, now that Qingcheng and Xiao Ye are officially together, I have to document this precious moment."

She flashed over to the rooftop, standing not far from Xiao Ye and Gu Qingcheng, and set up her camera.

Just as Xiao Ye and Gu Qingcheng pressed close together, there was a click, freezing this beautiful moment in time.

Gu Qingcheng’s lashes trembled as she felt the heat and softness.

Her graceful figure shuddered fiercely.

Xiao Ye felt a cool softness on his lips, and an unexpected sweet taste.

His rough hand unconsciously tightened around her slender waist, gently squeezing twice.

"Mmm!" Gu Qingcheng’s whole body went weak, her legs giving out, and she slumped against Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye looked at the blushing Hang City Empress, thinking maybe she had a fever.

He didn’t go any further. Instead, he gently kissed her and said with a smile, "Don’t rush, we have all the time in the world for this."

Gu Qingcheng playfully complained, "You squeezed my waist."

"Now I won’t be able to walk!"

The divine soul Gu Qingcheng watched on from the Sea of Spirit, feeling parched as she stuck out a tiny fish-like tongue to lick her red lips.

"Xiaogu, how are you feeling?" she asked inside her mind.

Gu Qingcheng’s shy voice echoed in her head, "It feels sweet in my heart, like I’ve just eaten honey dates."

*It was wonderful!*

The divine soul Gu Qingcheng’s eyes swirled mischievously, *Should I take over the body later and see what it feels like to kiss our husband?*

Gu Qingcheng immediately refused, "No way, I haven’t kissed him enough yet. Once I have, you can take over."

"You’ve already tasted hubby’s flavor in the future, isn’t that enough?"

The divine soul Gu Qingcheng’s pretty face darkened, "I spent a hundred years alone, and you say I’ve had enough?"

*Gu Qingcheng’s expression froze. She almost forgot—her future self was a frustrated, unsatisfied ’wife’ who, even as hubby’s Beast Girl, rarely got his attention.*

"Old Gu, don’t worry, I’ll make up for all the affection you missed!"

"Once I’m satisfied, I’ll let you take the body."

The divine soul Gu Qingcheng nodded, "You better keep your word."

Gu Qingcheng said, "Once a virgin speaks, not even four horses can take it back!"

The divine soul Gu Qingcheng twitched at the corner of her mouth. *You’re calling yourself a virgin—if you want satisfaction, that’s easier said than done. Can our hubby even handle this?*

Xiao Ye gazed at the soft beauty in his arms, having no clue what kind of wild, outrageous conversation was going on inside her head at that moment.

He walked over to the railing, standing side by side with Gu Qingcheng, basking in the warm light, and said,

"Sister Qingcheng, how many men have you liked before?"

Gu Qingcheng shook her head, "No one. There was never a man who moved me before you. You’re the first."

"I’ve lived fifteen hundred years, and it was always either training or fighting."

Xiao Ye’s expression turned a little odd, "Then how did you deal with, you know, loneliness?"

"!" Gu Qingcheng’s pretty face flushed red. *How was she supposed to answer that?*

"I, I’ve never felt lonely."

Xiao Ye smirked, "Ziran told me she found a certain... toy by your bed. She even saw your Liu Bei book."

Gu Qingcheng’s eyes widened.

*No way, Ziran even told Xiao Ye about that?*

She got a little flustered and said, "I never used it, really."

Having just gotten together with Xiao Ye, she was desperately afraid her image in his heart would drop.

*Why? Because she cared about what Xiao Ye thought of her.*

Seeing the anxious beauty in his arms, Xiao Ye put away his teasing and smiled, "I believe you."

"You hadn’t even opened the box. Ziran already told me that."

Gu Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, lowering her head a little bashfully.

*They just got together, and already he was bringing up such embarrassing topics—how mortifying!*

Xiao Ye grinned at her and said, "From now on, if you’re ever feeling lonely, don’t try to cool off with cold water. Just come find me."

Gu Qingcheng nodded quickly, "Mmhmm!"

*No more holding back now. This is awesome!*

Xiao Ye thought a bit and said, "I’ll find a time to let you meet my Beast Girls. You should prepare yourself."

"Let me be clear, I can’t stand my Beast Girls fighting among themselves or scheming against each other."

"When you meet them, I hope you’ll get along."

Gu Qingcheng smiled, "I know how to behave. I, Gu Qingcheng, am not the jealous type."

Xiao Ye smiled faintly, *Whether you really get jealous isn’t something you can just talk about. I hope you’ll actually be fine with it.*

Glancing aside, he spotted the two girls hiding behind the door and called,

"Ziran, little maid, what are you doing back there?"

Ziran and Jiang Xue’an strolled out with big grins.

"We didn’t see anything, you guys keep going."

Xiao Ye was speechless, "You two were peeping the whole time, lying through your teeth with your eyes wide open."

"!" Gu Qingcheng was so embarrassed that even her toes curled. *They saw everything!*

Ziran no longer bothered to hide it. She happily said, "Qingcheng, I didn’t expect you to be so fierce! That love confession was loud enough for all of Hang City to hear."

"I just took a picture for you two, here, look."

She pulled out an unedited, unfiltered original photo from her pocket and handed it to Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng took a look and couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile.

In the photo, she and Xiao Ye were embracing in a kiss, golden sunlight shining over them, making the moment sparkle—utterly beautiful.

"Want it? If you do, it’s yours," Ziran said.

Gu Qingcheng tucked the photo straight into her pocket, saying, "It’s already mine. I’m definitely keeping it."

Ziran giggled, "I printed a bunch of copies and sent them to Xiaoxi and Xiaobing. Oh, by the way, Xiaoxi and Qin Xi’Er should be coming to Hang City today."

"They are both Xiao Ye’s Beast Girls."

"Xi’Er and I held our weddings at the same time, but Xiaoxi hasn’t married Xiao Ye yet."

"You two should pick a good day and marry Xiao Ye together."

"I think Hang City is perfect, so just hold the wedding here."

Gu Qingcheng’s beautiful eyes widened, "Getting married so soon?"

Ziran pursed her lips, "What else? Maybe you’re patient, but Xiaoxi isn’t."

"The day after Xiao Ye got with Xiaoxi, he had to come here for business. You and her, neither of you have had much time with Xiao Ye yet."

Xiao Ye looked surprised, "Xi’Er is coming too? That works, all her template upgrade resources are ready. I can upgrade her template today."

"Sister Ziran, tell Xiaobing and Bingxi that they can stop training for a while. When I’ve gathered all the resources and brought them to the Space-Time Hall, you can all train there together."

Ziran’s beautiful eyes lit up and she clapped happily, "Great! Bingxi, Si Yao, and the rest train all day, every day—they’re dead tired. A little break will do them good."

"Once you get the Space-Time Hall, you won’t have to train day and night anymore. People aren’t machines, after all. I’ll go get everyone right now so you can, ahem, reward them."

Xiao Ye’s mouth twitched. *If they all come, will he even be able to get out of bed?*

He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Just bring Sister Yunxi and Xi’Er over. I need to give Sister Qingcheng a massage today."
