Chapter 37 Extreme Joy

pleted his task, naturally smiled and followed behind the two figures.Night Tianqiong watched as those two identical footsteps faded away. A fist clenched tightly within the sleeve had caused blood to...Chapter 37 Utter Ecstasy

So that was it! Yun Qianyue laughed, "Haha," indeed interesting!

Rong Jing pulled Yun Qianyue with his other hand and said, "It's still early. Shall we go to Fragrant Spring Mountain to grill fish"

Yun Qianyue was astonished, "You're still thinking about grilling fish"

"Not forgotten!" Rong Jing shook his head sincerely and said, "Besides, it's indeed still early. We can go."

Yun Qianyue looked up at the sky with a helpless expression and asked, "You still have the mood to eat"

"I'm in great spirits!" Rong Jing replied.

Yun Qianyue felt that she was also in high spirits. Whether it would be sunny or rainy tomorrow, today's battle was won and deserved a celebration. However, wasn't Fragrant Spring Mountain too far

"It's tranquil there!" Rong Jing shook his head and said softly when he saw Yun Qianyue's disagreement: "Every nearby place is crowded with people today. Fragrant Spring Mountain is extremely peaceful, and the fish there are most delicious and tasty. It would be a great night snack. We haven't eaten any fish from Fragrant Spring Mountain since we returned from Lingtai Temple. Don’t you want to go"

Yun Qianyue was in an internal struggle and looked at Rong Jing hesitantly, "But I'm really tired!"

"I’ve hidden all of your golden Buddha statues there without moving them. Do you not want to count them" In a low voice, Rong Jing added: "And the silver coins from selling off the contents of your small treasury are untouched."

“Let's go now!” Yun Qianyue immediately agreed and pulled Rong Jing along.

Rong Jing smiled lightly as he followed Yun Qianyue. A deep smile played at his mouth corners.

Yun Qianyue rolled her eyes while walking, not really counting gold or silver but more curious about what surprises this guy had prepared for her on Fragrant Spring Mountain and why he seemed so determined to go there. Wouldn’t it be a waste if she didn't check She’d let him have his way!

The two arrived at the carriage, but Xiange did not lift the curtain as usual. Instead, he looked at them and asked, "Young Master, Miss Qianyue, are you... alright Did you succeed"

Today’s palace gates were heavily guarded, and all guards were forbidden from entering. He didn’t know what was happening inside but had been worried the whole time. Seeing them come out, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked anxiously: With their faces looking so good, they must have succeeded!

"No," Yun Qianyue shook her head and pulled back the curtain herself, getting into the carriage before Rong Jing.

Xiange was taken aback. How could they not succeed but be in such a happy mood

“Indeed, we didn’t succeed! But it doesn’t matter whether it’s morning or night,” Rong Jing smiled and got into the carriage too. He instructed, "Head to Fragrant Spring Mountain."

Xiange looked at the lowered curtain dumbly before sitting in front of the carriage and flicking the whip, sending the carriage out from the palace gates toward the city gates. Thinking that although they didn’t succeed, they must have gained something or else Young Master and Miss Qianyue wouldn’t be so happy.

After Rong Jing's carriage left, Ye Tianqing and Qin Yucui arrived at the gate shortly after.

The gates were tightly shut; the imperial guards blocked them. As he was now a crown prince, Ye Tianqing did not dare to force his way through. He had to wait with Qin Yucui.

Soon, Ye Tianyu arrived but waited as well without making any special requests.

Following that, Crown Prince Yun and the other court officials successively arrived, exchanged glances, and could only wait.

Although the Marquis Yun was anxious, he felt helpless. Originally, he thought that today's tight security in the imperial palace was due to the large and complex crowd, and the Emperor had added Imperial Guards and Secret Service for fear of assassins sneaking in. Now it seems that it is not so. Clearly, the Emperor has some plan. He filtered through the events in his mind when Yun Qianyue and Rong Jing were suddenly asked to marry by imperial decree and when the Emperor left without a word, but he found nothing wrong with them. However, when he saw SuSu walking out wearing a light veil, it suddenly dawned on him.

When SuSu arrived, she stood quietly at the back as usual, her head lowered, extremely composed.

All eyes were on SuSu, who was the top performer in Smoke Willow Tower. Since she hung out her shingle, no one had ever seen her without a veil; everyone only knew that she sold art but not herself and that seeing her cost 100 taels of silver while hearing her sing cost 1000 taels. People were actually very curious about her, but no one could get near her. It was said that there was a love potion on her body; if anyone touched her without her consent, they would die from poisoning immediately. That's why she remained unharmed and still a virgin despite the numerous high officials and wealthy men in Heavenly Capital.

Despite this, many people flocked to see her. They queued up outside East Gate, West Gate, South Gate, and North Gate of the city walls; most men were incorrigible—they found what they could not have more desirable! Even spending silver for a glimpse or hearing her sing was worth it. Unfortunately, since Nanliang's Crown Prince came to Heavenly Capital, he had taken SuSu under his wing and she no longer received visitors.

To see her veil and thin clothes clearly today without paying any money was indeed joyful!

So when SuSu arrived, she became the entertainment for all the ministers waiting at the palace gate to while away time! Some people even thought that it was worth braving the cold wind until midnight.

Night Tianqin and Night Tiandyu also looked at SuSu; they both recalled their earlier information: their father intended to use this woman to depose Empress. They were raised under the name of Empress, which made them extremely noble. Although Empress was not particularly concerned with them, they still received protection from the Yun Family due to their close relationship, so naturally, they did not want Empress to fall from power. If Empress fell, their influence would be incalculable.

SuSu seemed oblivious to everyone's lecherous or scrutinizing gazes and acted as if no one else was around.

Shortly after, Ye Qian arrived; seeing SuSu made her pause, then she snorted coldly and jumped over the palace wall.

Nanlingrui followed closely behind Ye Qian to arrive; upon seeing SuSu, he paused but soon swooped down beside her, took her slender waist in his hand, and said suavely: "What are you doing here suffering from cold wind Poor beauty, let this Prince take you away now!"

Before she finished speaking, Nanlingrui carried SuSu over the palace wall.

The commander of Imperial Guards was caught off guard when someone else followed Jing Shizi and Yun Qianyue's example; knowing that one was Crown Prince of Southern Liang while the other was Princess of Southern Frontier, both important figures who he could not offend, he could only let them leave without taking action.

Seeing Nanlingrui take SuSu away, everyone felt helpless. Night Tianqin frowned and Night Tiandyu said nothing; after all, Crown Prince and Princess were honored guests, so they could ignore the Emperor's order if they wanted to.

Awhile later, Night Tianyi walked slowly over, glanced at the closed palace gate and waiting crowd, then leaped gracefully over the palace wall in his pale blue brocade robe.

The commander of Imperial Guards was alarmed but could not stop him as he had already disappeared; thus, he also let him go by default.

"What audacity!" Night Tianqin's face darkened.

"Little Brother Seven has always been bold. Crown Prince Brother, you need to be careful now—the Emperor values Little Brother Seven highly," said Night Tiandyu as he watched Night Tianyi leave.

After that, Night Tianqin abruptly let go of Qin Yuning's hand and turned toward the Imperial Study.

Qin Yuning looked at Night Tianqin walk off without a word; she pursed her lips but said nothing.

Seeing Night Tianqin head to the Imperial Study, Night Tiandyu sneered inwardly; he then leaped over the palace wall himself. Although his skills were inferior to those who had left earlier, he could still just clear the palace walls.

The commander of Imperial Guards was equally helpless against the Fourth Prince and let him go without a word.

The remaining ministers like Yun Marquis waited quietly at the gate; no one dared be as bold. Of course, they did not have the amazing martial arts skills like those who had left earlier. It only saddened the noble ladies of the officials' mansions, such as Qin Yuning, who instead of celebrating today's Qiqiao Festival and hoping to showcase their talents at the banquet were now freezing in the cold wind, waiting until midnight for the palace gates to open.

Xianguo’s carriage moved smoothly out of town toward Xiang Quan Mountain.

In the carriage, Yun Qianyue lazily leaned against Rong Jing; thinking about the Emperor's seemingly blood-spewing face tonight and munching on pastries one by one, she felt content.

When she finished one box and reached for another, Rong Jing stretched out his hand to stop her, smiling teasingly: "Save some appetite! Otherwise, you won’t be able to eat the grilled fish later!"

Yun Qianyue thought it made sense and gave up. She started humming a tune.

Her voice was excellent, and popular songs hummed by her added a unique charm to the quiet mountain road.

"This melody is fresh!" When Yun Qianyue finished humming one song, Rong Jing said with a smile.

"Of course. You, this ancient… person wouldn’t understand it." Yun Qianyue nearly blurted out the word "ancient people", but thankfully stopped in time. Although she was busy with many subjects and tasks before, her interests were wide-ranging. Whenever she had free time, she would visit all kinds of entertainment places: racing cars, horses; climbing mountains, diving, dancing… If she changed into a different identity, no one would know that she was the strict and meticulous general sitting on top of NSA's skyscrapers.

"I can appreciate it. Sing another song." Rong Jing smiled at Yun Qianyue.

"Appreciate" Yun Qianyue arched an eyebrow.

"Of course I can!" said Rong Jing.

"Oh my god!" Yun Qianyue sighed. She always thought that ancient people couldn’t appreciate modern popular music, let alone those from another era. However, seeing how interestingly Rong Jing listened to her humming, she concluded he was very receptive.

Blinking her eyes, a mischievous thought suddenly arose in her mind: "Hey, do you have a zither in your car"

"Yes!" With a light press of his hand on the backseat of the car, a hidden compartment opened up. He took out an ancient zither and handed it to Yun Qianyue, smiling at her: "Can your tunes be played with this instrument"

"Of course!" Yun Qianyue accepted the zither in admiration. The general material for ordinary zithers was made of ancient wood; however, this one was made entirely out of jade. Its body was clear and translucent, while the strings were made from fine silk threads, extremely light and soft. When held, it felt heavy where it should be and light when appropriate, even someone who didn’t know much about zithers would exclaim its quality upon seeing it. A zither like this was likely unparalleled in value throughout the world.

Raising her head to look at Rong Jing, she said, "Even if you weren't Prince Rong, with just this one zither, you could live a life without worrying about food and clothing for a lifetime!"

"Indeed," Rong Jing nodded with a smile.

Yun Qianyue pursed her lips. If she were to compete with him in terms of wealth, it would probably drive ghosts to madness. She lightly plucked the strings with her fingers: high notes were crisp and clear like metal; mid-pitched tones were rich and full-bodied; low notes were delicate and silent as a whisper. Satisfied with what she heard, she looked at Rong Jing with a hint of mischief in her eyes: "Since you’ve been behaving well today, I’ll gift you a tune as my Valentine’s Day present for your appreciation."

"Alright!" Seeing the mischievous look in Yun Qianyue's eyes, Rong Jing nodded with a smile.

Outside of the car, Xiang Ge immediately perked up. He had never seen Miss Shallow Moon showcase any talent other than martial arts, so seeing her proactively playing a tune excited him greatly.

Straightening herself, Yun Qianyue crossed her legs and placed the zither on them. She glanced at Rong Jing then lowered her head to pluck the strings, playing "Ambush on All Sides" in reverse order.

The sound was piercingly sharp like thunder breaking through the sky, waves crashing against a shore, violent winds rolling up, myriad swords slicing through the air, lightning and thunder flashing… A piece of music meant to depict war had been transformed into an eerie horror movie with sounds unbearable for the human ear.

The moment the zither's sound rang out, the horses pulling the carriage began racing madly forward.

Xiang Ge, who was originally listening intently, fell straight off the carriage due to the sudden noise.

Rong Jing’s body trembled slightly—whether it was from the jerky ride or Yun Qianyue's zither music, he only shuddered for a moment. Afterward, he smiled at her without moving an inch.

Glancing at Rong Jing, she thought to herself that this guy had indeed reached the realm of gods and buddhas. When she played "Ambush on All Sides" in reverse during music class, not only did the students faint; even the teacher lost consciousness too. About a hundred people attended that lesson, all of whom were later taken away by ambulances to the hospital because of this incident. As punishment for this matter, she was dismissed from her music course, making it the sole subject among those she had chosen which hadn't reached the required standard.

This past event was too painful to recall!

Rong Jing looked at Yun Qianyue and nodded with a smile: "Excellent piece!"

"Then listen carefully, don’t faint!" Yun Qianyue threw out this sentence before switching techniques repeatedly.

"Alright," Rong Jing nodded seriously.

Yun Qianyue fell silent and focused intently. The faster the horses raced madly forward, the more interested she became, her hands moving swiftly like a sudden downpour of rain, playing wave after wave of notes out. Since losing her memories, the pent-up frustration in her chest had been discharged through this eerie music, making her feel extremely refreshed and exhilarated.

Rong Jing had been watching Yun Qianyue all along, with a gentle smile on his face as if he were truly enjoying the music.

After playing half of the piece, Xuan Ge's voice came from behind, "Miss Qianyue, you... Please stop!"

Yun Qianyue ignored him and continued to play.

"If you keep on playing, the carriage will fall off a cliff..." Xuan Ge gritted his teeth against the sound waves assaulting his eardrums as he used his agility skills to catch up with the carriage. But no matter how fast his light-footedness was, it couldn't match the mad gallop of the horse. He fell far behind and shouted loudly.

Off a cliff They had only just left the city gates; surely they wouldn’t reach a cliff so soon! Yun Qianyue still did not stop playing.

"The stallion that Young Lord Rong is driving, although it doesn't match up to Jade Snow Flying Dragon, is also one of the finest horses in the world. It can travel a thousand miles a day; if you exhaust it to death..." Xuan Ge couldn’t take it anymore. Even though he had fallen far behind, his voice still seemed to be right next to him. If this continued, he would pass out for sure! He knew that unless he spoke up, Young Lord Rong wouldn't let Miss Yun Qianyue stop playing; and with the time they spent together, he also knew how much she loved horses. Moreover, there was really a cliff ahead...

Before Xuan Ge had finished speaking, sure enough, the sound of the qin suddenly stopped!

The waves crashed against the shore, stones shattered from the shock, ghosts wailed in anguish, wild winds whipped fiercely, myriad swords pierced through the sky, thunder rumbled and lightning flashed... Everything disappeared, everything came to a sudden halt!

Xuan Ge collapsed onto the ground dejectedly. He thought he would never again listen to Miss Yun Qianyue play the qin! It was truly... unbearable. If she didn’t stop soon, he might even commit suicide out of desperation!

The stallion continued its mad dash forward with an almost deranged look in his eyes.

Yun Qianyue put down her qin and pulled the curtain aside to look back. Seeing Xuan Ge’s small dark figure lying on the ground like a shrimp, she burst out laughing gleefully at once. She felt that only now had she finally taken revenge for all the times Rong Jing's attendant had given her cold looks whenever she argued with him in the past.

"If you don’t rein in the reins soon, we really will fall off a cliff!" Rong Jing looked at Yun Qianyue’s carefree and laughing face and reminded her teasingly.

Yun Qianyue turned to look ahead and saw that there was indeed a cliff about five zhang away. She was startled and quickly tried to rein in the reins, but it was too late – the stallion had already gone mad with excitement. Yun Qianyue’s strength caused a snap as she pulled on the reins; the stallion continued to gallop forward and its momentum was so strong that her face changed color instantly. She leaped into the air immediately and landed in front of the galloping horse, then swung out one palm with a force akin to overturning mountains and seas. The stallion reared back several steps and came to an abrupt stop.

Yun Qianyue heaved a sigh of relief as she turned around only to see that there was a sheer cliff about half a step behind her, causing cold sweat to break out all over her body – it had really been dangerous! She then looked back at the carriage. Rong Jing was lifting the curtain and smiling at her. Although the stallion had stopped moving forward, its head kept shaking; suddenly, with a low posture, it pulled the carriage down onto the ground.

Yun Qianyue looked speechlessly at Rong Jing – she was terrified while he seemed to be in no danger at all! This was ridiculous! She was somewhat indignant and said, "Indeed not human!"

Rong Jing smiled lightly as he watched Yun Qianyue’s indignant little face; then looking at the cliff behind her, he sighed, saying, "The Emperor said that I could match ten thousand soldiers, but he got it wrong. You are the one who can match ten thousand soldiers!"

Yun Qianyue blinked and couldn’t help laughing out loud. She stepped towards the carriage and stood in front of it as she turned her head to ask, "Do you think this gift is good"

"Good!" Rong Jing nodded with a smile, saying, "It’s just that Xuan Ge and the horse are too pitiful."

Yun Qianyue let out an “ah” sound as she patted the head of the horse. The stallion shuddered and looked up at her with an aggrieved expression; Yun Qianyue laughed, saying, "I won’t scare you next time!" She then saw Xuan Ge running over already, his fair face pale as if it had snowed. Yun Qianyue watched him laughingly and asked, "Was it stimulating"

"Miss Qianyue, please don't play the qin in front of your subordinates anymore from now on. As long as you say that you’re going to play, I will plug my ears first," Xuan Ge looked at Yun Qianyue with a look of fear; he thought no one else could possibly ruin such an exquisite sound like she did – only she was capable! Her qin music could make even ghosts flee.

"Mm-hmm, as long as you don’t offend me from now on, everything is negotiable!" Yun Qianyue nodded and said in a very accommodating tone.

Xuan Ge immediately wore a bitter expression; he would never dare to offend Miss Qianyue again even if they gave him ten lives. He looked around somewhat gloomily and said, "You were supposed to go with Young Lord Rong to the Fragrant Spring Water at North Mountain for grilling fish; now you’ve led us off course, scaring the horse away in your panic after playing the qin. We’re now separated from North Mountain by a ravine – it’s actually another mountain opposite that is Fragrant Spring Mountain! How do we get past this"

Yun Qianyue looked at the other side and saw that there was indeed a chasm about ten zhang wide between the two mountains. She shifted her gaze back and saw that the road down the mountain stretched on far ahead; she would have to go around, which would take half an hour or longer – it’s much harder going downhill than uphill. Her lips curled into a smile, "Then we can only detour. How else are we supposed to get past"

Xuan Ge sighed inwardly and thought that if Miss Qianyue continued to torment him like this, he would probably lose ten years of his life. He pulled the horse up but no matter how hard he tried for a long time, it just lay on the ground motionless; Xuan Ge glared at the horse which shook its head and looked back at him with big tearful eyes as if to say that it wouldn’t move another step!

Yun Qianyue couldn't bear to look at the horse anymore, feeling a mixture of shock and fear. It was normal for her not to be able to get up after such折騰. She averted her eyes and looked at Rong Jing sheepishly, "What should we do You won’t be able to eat your grilled fish now!"

"No need to drag it anymore," said Rong Jing with a smile as he told Xuan Ge, “You two rest here.” As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he slowly leaned forward and got off the carriage. He glanced at the mountain ravine on the opposite side and suggested to Yun Qianyue, "Can't you just use your lightness kung fu to carry me over"

"Do you think I’m all-powerful" Yun Qianyue immediately shook her head. First it was the lake in the Hundred Flowers Garden, then leaping over palace walls, and now she had to leap across a mountain ravine. If she slipped up, she would fall and die without leaving any remains. He wasn't afraid of death but wanted to live longer! Furthermore, how could he not feel embarrassed Wasn’t he using her as his means of transportation like it was the most natural thing in the world

"You can!" Rong Jing smiled at Yun Qianyue.

"Bull**, I can't," Yun Qianyue couldn't resist swearing.

"With this, you can," said Rong Jing as he lightly flicked his sleeve. A silver light flashed out and a very soft and light snow-white ribbon flew out of his sleeve, about ten zhang long. As it moved through the air, the silver ribbon seemed to resemble the Milky Way falling from the sky.

Yun Qianyue was delighted, "What is this" To her, it looked like silk but not ordinary silk.

"It's Crimson Beauty Silk," Rong Jing said with a smile as he retracted the ribbon.

So this is Crimson Beauty Silk! No wonder. Yun Qianyue was naturally aware of Crimson Beauty Silk. The world had seven treasures, five poisons, and three missing items. Crimson Beauty Silk belonged to those three missing items! It was said that it couldn’t be cut with a knife or melted by fire. It was a precious weapon. With this Crimson Beauty Silk, leaping over the ten-zhang-wide ravine wouldn't be an issue. She pursed her lips and said, "All good things end up in your hands!"

"From now on, these good things will be in your hands," Rong Jing handed the Crimson Beauty Silk to Yun Qianyue.

Yun Qianyue raised an eyebrow. “For me”

"Yes," nodded Rong Jing. "You have recovered your martial arts, but you don't have a weapon in hand. This is perfect for you as a weapon! Swords are sharp weapons that consume energy when carried on the body. The Crimson Beauty Silk fits you better."

Yun Qianyue looked at the Crimson Beauty Silk in her hands. It was warm and smooth to touch, with silk as delicate as congealed fat, seeming to meld into her skin like it was a part of her body. It truly was an excellent item. She couldn't describe how she felt; the Crimson Beauty Silk was extremely light and soft, but she felt as if she were holding something incredibly heavy in her hands. Today was Qixi Festival, with magpies forming a bridge over Tian Shan's Milky Way. Rong Jing had given her a ribbon like the Milky Way to form a bridge for them to leap over the ravine. Just like their future, he didn't fear the thorns of the ravine but was mainly waiting for her to have the heart to cross it. How well did Rong Jing understand her Making her heart unable to hide or avoid anything. She silently looked at the Crimson Beauty Silk for a long time.

Rong Jing remained silent, his eyes warm as he watched her.

After some time, Yun Qianyue softly said, "Rong Jing, why haven't you been this good to me before"

Xuan Ge turned around and thought Miss Shanyue was asking a silly question! Who else could the young lord be good to Better than himself

"It's enough if you acknowledge that I'm good to you. So, in the future, when you have something good, remember me," Rong Jing said with a light laugh.

Yun Qianyue rolled her eyes. Every time she felt touched or had other emotions welling up inside her, he could bring her back down to earth with one sentence. She looked up at Rong Jing and suddenly stepped forward, hugging him tightly and loudly said, "Rong Jing, I discover that I like you a little bit more!"

"Mm," smiled Rong Jing as he nodded, wrapping his arms around Yun Qianyue's soft body. He gently kissed her lips and softly said, "Keep up the good work; try to make this liking so great it fills your heart."

"You big greedy radish!" Yun Qianyue laughed as she pushed him away. She shook the Crimson Beauty Silk at her wrist and measured the distance across the ravine. She spotted a towering rock on the opposite side and asked with a smile, "Do you really trust me What if I fall and die"

"Then we’ll both die! It’s fortunate to be able to share death as well," Rong Jing said as he looked at the rock across from them.

“Don’t worry. You’re so rich, even if you do die, I won’t let you off easy even as a ghost,” Yun Qianyue said before suddenly reaching out and pulling Rong Jing towards her, using her strength to fly over to the other side of the ravine.

"Good girl!" Rong Jing tilted his head to kiss her cheek.

Yun Qianyue's body paused for a moment; she nearly fell down. She immediately shouted angrily, "Behave yourself! This isn't something to play around with. You can really die from it! I want to live, not die!

Rong Jing smiled and responded, no longer moving around.

Yun Qianyue dared not get distracted again and exerted force towards the opposite cliff. Halfway through, suddenly a large area of clouds and mist rose up, instantly enveloping both of them in a sudden white expanse before their eyes. She secretly exclaimed糟糕, and according to her previous visual estimation, she could only rely on feeling to throw out the Crimson Beauty Silk. The Crimson Beauty Silk broke through the cloud and mist, directly hooking towards the massive rock across. When it hit the rock, she was delighted in her heart, but joy barely touched her eyebrows when her expression changed because the Crimson Beauty Silk was too slippery; the huge rock on the opposite side also seemed extremely smooth. As soon as the Crimson Beauty Silk touched the rock and could not hook onto anything, it slid apart, causing her and Rong Jing's bodies to fall downward.

"You damned raven mouth, this time you're really going to get killed! Why are you playing with something so dangerous" Yun Qianyue cursed at Rong Jing.

Rong Jing chuckled softly, "You said even if I were a ghost, I wouldn't let you off!"

"I would become an angry ghost and won't let you go either!" Yun Qianyue angrily retorted.

"Then I'll reluctantly turn into an angry ghost like you too!" Rong Jing smiled.

“You still have the mind to joke around What should we do now” Yun Qianyue felt her body rapidly falling downward. Although both of them were slim, they weighed two people combined. Furthermore, there was a thick fog in front of them; she could not see anything at all. She dared not recklessly throw out the Crimson Beauty Silk again to save energy; if she exhausted herself later on, they would have no choice but to wait for their death.

“Two meters ahead and to the left there is a withered vine!” Rong Jing said warmly.

Hearing that, Yun Qianyue immediately threw out the Crimson Beauty Silk in the direction Rong Jing indicated. This time she twisted her wrist before throwing it out. Indeed, the Crimson Beauty Silk entangled around something; holding them up as they fell. She suddenly exerted strength and pulled herself along with Rong Jing across using the Crimson Beauty Silk. In an instant, they broke through the clouds and mists, standing on a branch of the withered vine.

This withered vine had clearly grown for over a hundred years; its trunk was robust, swaying slightly to catch them both.

"What a close call!" Yun Qianyue heaved a sigh of relief. She looked down at the mist-shrouded cliff below and then raised her head to look up at the rather high mountain face above them. She glared fiercely at Rong Jing, "Did you know that the rock across was useless The Crimson Beauty Silk couldn't wrap around it"

"Yes! I once tried jumping over there; later on, I fell onto this withered vine!" Rong Jing chuckled and nodded.

"You're still laughing! Why didn't I throw you down to kill you then" Yun Qianyue glared angrily at Rong Jing. So he had actually attempted it before.

“How could you bear to” Rong Jing lowered his head, turned around and held Yun Qianyue in his embrace, leaning down to kiss her panting lips; her chest was slightly rising and falling, her cheeks were a little red. She looked extremely beautiful under the mist, making him lose himself momentarily.

"Get away! I can bear it; you watch out or I'll throw you off!" Yun Qianyue pushed Rong Jing.

“Ten years of bitter longing are finally alleviated today. My heart is at its happiest.” Rong Jing murmured softly.

The hand pushing him hesitated.

Rong Jing accurately kissed her lips.

In the ancient vine and old tree, shrouded by misty clouds, only their figures could be seen. They couldn't see any other things around them. Everything was silent as if the world had only two people. All senses converged on one point; all thoughts had already flown away.

This was an unprecedented feeling; Yun Qianyue's body instantly turned limp.

Rong Jing’s lips lingered in Yun Qianyue’s mouth and teeth, as if wanting to pour out all his thoughts and tenderness to her. Yun Qianyue subconsciously leaned back on the tree trunk, feeling like she was melting under him.

"I really want today to be our wedding night!" Rong Jing pulled away slightly, suddenly murmuring softly by Yun Qianyue's ear.

At this moment, Yun Qianyue felt everything was so quiet that all things seemed like dust. She raised her head and only saw Rong Jing. It seemed he was her sky. Breathing gently, she thought if today, at this time, in this moment, she... would be willing!

—Interlude—uliang as she said with a smile.The Prince of Filial Piety and Leng Shuliang's expressions changed drastically."You…" The old emperor looked at Yun Qianyue, his forehead veins bulging out in anger. "H...
