The Future Empress's First Lesson for Her Husband!

Du Meng was deeply skeptical of Chen Xuan's belief that "whoever has Spirit Stones is the boss."

His thick brows twisted into a knot, unable to hide his worry.

Chen Xuan patted his shoulder and laughed. "Da Mengzi, as the saying goes, barefoot men aren't afraid of those wearing shoes. Right now, the Sect Master and the others are the ants spinning around on a hot pan!"

"Not that bad, is it?" Du Meng retorted.

Chen Xuan smiled. "The Spirit Beast Garden, Medicine Field, Treasure Pavilion, Dao Repository Valley—the arrays in those places are all part of the Mountain Protecting Array. They prosper together and suffer together! By now, it should be chaos over there, like a pot of porridge. What if the demonic forces attacked at this moment? ..."

"Under normal circumstances, this wouldn't be a problem! The sect has reserves of Spirit Stones and all sorts of rare array materials, so rebuilding the Mountain Protecting Array wouldn't be difficult! But because Heaven Piercing Golden Peak gathered Immortal Source Fortune, the Sect Master and the others have basically drained their Spirit Stones!"

"Even if they order the accelerated extraction of the dozen or so Spirit Stone Mines controlled by the sect, it will still take at least half a month to accumulate enough Spirit Stones to restart the Mountain Protecting Array!"

"Then they can only seek outside help! But the Nine Sects Thirteen Schools, the only ones capable of helping right now, all have their own calculations. Who would lend out Spirit Stones? They would love nothing more than for Ji Wushuang to die at once!"

"Perhaps... the mysterious person who ambushed and severely wounded Ji Wushuang is connected to those sects? After all, the Apprentice Ceremony is just around the corner..."

"Gasp!..."

Du Meng sucked in a cold breath, utterly horrified!

The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became!

Yet Chen Xuan remained calm and composed. "To restore the Mountain Protecting Array quickly, at least three hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones will be needed!"

"Ji Wushuang is severely injured. Aside from taking pills, activating the Life Creation Ancient Array is undoubtedly even more important, and that alone requires at least one hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones. Who can produce that many Spirit Stones in one go?"

He rubbed the Panlong Treasure Ring on his finger, his smile brilliant!

"Xuan Ge, after hearing your analysis, I feel that not only is Ji Wushuang in extraordinary danger... you may also be standing at the crest of the waves!" Du Meng said gravely.

Chen Xuan gave a dark chuckle and slowly said, "I'm fine. I'm confident I can outlast them! But... can Ji Wushuang afford to drag this out? This is no longer merely a matter of her glory falling—it concerns life and death!"

Du Meng froze!

Then he slapped his thigh hard, praising him again and again.

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Xuan Ge, now that you've analyzed it this way, I understand!"

"Daylight is still bright now, so this sense of crisis, like having thorns at one's back, isn't too intense yet... But once evening falls, the Sect Master probably won't be able to sit still!"

"No wonder you were so domineering just now, snapping at heaven, snapping at earth, snapping at thin air, until even your master couldn't bear it..."

Du Meng grinned widely, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

He sighed with emotion. "Xuan Ge, I'm beginning to suspect that you have Fox Clan blood in you. You're so cunning..."

Thump!

Chen Xuan lightly punched Du Meng in the chest and said speechlessly, "That's wisdom, not cunning!"

Actually, he really wanted to say that although he did not have Fox Clan blood, he had conquered a little princess of the most extraordinary branch among fox demons—the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox line...

Was that something an ordinary person could accomplish?

Chen Xuan still felt a little proud inside!

"Oh, right! Give me two more Romance Scrolls!..."

"I only have one left!"

"Then what are you standing around for? Take it out!"

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Du Meng took his leave, while Chen Xuan returned to the secret chamber.

As if presenting a treasure, he handed over the scroll and said with a smile, "Wife, when your mother said sleeping with a man, she meant sleeping like this... You've misunderstood it all these days, you know?"

"But luckily, we set things right last night. That counted as truly sleeping together..."

"What do you mean?"

Bai Bingyan opened her clear, beautiful eyes, utterly puzzled.

Then she took the scroll and slowly opened it...

"Ah! Th-this!..."

Bai Bingyan cried out softly, her lovely face flushing crimson.

Her narrow, beautiful eyes stared at the little-picture-book-like "knowledge" of men and women in the painting, as though a path to a new world had been opened before her.

Her heart thundered as if ten thousand bolts of heavenly lightning had struck down!

It was as though rivers and seas were overturning within her!

So much so that Bai Bingyan's pair of proudly abundant curves, rich enough to rival a nation... also rose into lovely arcs!

Chen Xuan's eyes grew hot at the sight!

There was no helping it. His wife's power of seduction was too strong. He desperately wanted to "deeply" discuss the knowledge in that scroll with her!

He had never considered himself a lecherous man.

But!

When facing a wife like Bai Bingyan, born with seductive bones and beautiful beyond compare, he seemed to have little resistance.

"This thing looks improper at a glance. What status does this princess have? I don't want it! Don't even think about doing such things with me in the future... No! I will not agree to it or cooperate!"

Bai Bingyan spoke in direct disdain and tossed the scroll onto the floor.

A faint peach-blossom blush spread across her peerlessly beautiful face.

"Uh..."

The tiny flame of hope in Chen Xuan's eyes was instantly extinguished!

He suddenly had the urge to flip this princess over and give her a hard spanking!

This was too frustrating!

However, considering Bai Bingyan's overwhelming strength, Chen Xuan could only keep that thought in his imagination...

"Wife, how is this improper? The affairs between men and women accord with heaven, earth, and human harmony, with the Way of Yin and Yang. All things multiply and thrive through it. It is the most proper and most beautiful thing in heaven and earth!"

For the sake of his happy life, Chen Xuan was practically ready to swear an oath.

The slight twitch at the corner of his mouth undoubtedly exposed the indignation in his heart.

Bai Bingyan, however, lifted her snow-white swan neck and parted her cherry lips. "This princess simply does not see it that way! Looking at it has even made my Dao heart a little unstable!"

"Wife, don't be so stubborn! I understand the affairs between men and women better than you do. Would I lie to you?..." Chen Xuan continued persuading her.

"Hmm?"

Bai Bingyan's brows knitted slightly, and at once an immense, icy majesty surged forth.

She abruptly rose to her feet.

Chen Xuan, meanwhile, felt an unprecedented pressure.

Bang!

It felt as though Mount Tai were crushing down upon him. His knees weakened beyond his control, and he fell heavily to his knees before Bai Bingyan!

"You!"

Anger and horror surged up within Chen Xuan.

"My mother said that men are actually all very lowly. Once I have a husband, I must make him kneel at my feet! Especially when we have only just come together, he must be properly trained..."

"This princess is the only Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox born in my clan in nearly three thousand years, destined to become Qingqiu's Future Empress! Even if you are my husband, you must kneel at my feet!"

As Bai Bingyan spoke coldly and arrogantly, the pressure Chen Xuan felt grew stronger and stronger.

Until all he could see was a pair of crystalline, tender jade feet, like the most beautiful works of art.

"I'm your husband, not your servant!" Chen Xuan said angrily.

He was seething inside!

Bai Bingyan actually wanted to train him?

And her words were as merciless as cold water, stomping out the self-respect he had only just regained!

A fierce fury also surged up in Chen Xuan's heart.

Even the True Dragon Heart began beating much faster!

He strained to stiffen his neck, wanting to raise his head and resist Bai Bingyan's "training."

"Bastard! Why are you being so stubborn? This princess can't kill you either, so how am I supposed to train you? You're infuriating me!"

Bai Bingyan was furious. She directly raised her right foot and kicked him in annoyance!

"Mmph..."

A tender, snow-white jade foot was shoved directly into Chen Xuan's mouth...
