No, You're Actually Gnawing On It!

His lips stung with a burning pain.

Chu Ning looked bewildered and reached up to touch his lips.

His fingers came away with a trace of blood.

Chu Ning suddenly looked up and was stunned!

"No!"

"You didn't kiss me, you bit me! You made me bleed!"

Ye Qinglian's voice trembled; she didn't dare to look directly at him, but she forced herself to speak.

"This... isn't this exactly what you wanted? I gave it to you, what more do you want!"

Chu Ning couldn't help but laugh and cry as he stopped the bleeding, looking at Ye Qinglian, who was beyond embarrassed.

"It's not exactly like that. You could have been a little gentler, or you'll bite this mouth off later..."

However, seeing Ye Qinglian's state, he knew that a perfect first experience was probably out of the question. Ye Qinglian had too fiery a personality; any forceful method would only backfire.

But at least he had been kissed, right?

Chu Ning wasn't sure if it counted.

At that moment, he felt like his lips had been bitten...

No, even if you don't know what you're doing, you shouldn't bite!

Forget it.

He'd have to teach her himself.

Even though he hadn't kissed anyone before.

He might not have eaten pork, but he'd seen pigs run.

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Then Qinglian, I'm busy. Remember to be gentler next time..."

With that, he turned and left.

Ye Qinglian's face turned bright red, and she couldn't suppress it!

She also didn't think it should have bled, but she was too nervous at the time and couldn't control her strength!

She had already said that if you want it, do it yourself!

Yet you acted like you didn't want anything and told me to go ahead!

That's your own fault, it has nothing to do with me!

Sitting back in her seat, Ye Qinglian was still a little angry.

She picked up the broken calligraphy brush and threw it at Chu Ning's forehead.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm happy to! Go read your memorials!"

Next time!

There won't be a next time, it's impossible!

The weather was perfect, bathed in sunlight.

Throughout the Imperial Palace of the Great Gan Dynasty, lanterns and colored banners were hung everywhere, as preparations for the Empress's Grand Wedding were underway.

They didn't know why Chu Ning was chosen as the Imperial Sovereign, but he was the Imperial Sovereign nonetheless, and he was personally appointed by Her Majesty.

So they just had to make the arrangements.

Xiao Bing was so busy she didn't even have time to cultivate, fully responsible for the palace affairs. She ran back and forth between the cabinet and the Ministry of Rites all day, her small face beaming with excitement.

After all, in less than half a year, the Dragon Prince would be born, so how could she not be happy?

And within the Royal Ancestral Temple.

Fang Houren stood before the ancestral temple, contemplating Chu Ning's identity and current actions.

What kind of person was this Chu Ning, to be so favored by Ye Qinglian?

He had watched Ye Qinglian grow up. After a hundred years of cultivation, she had reached the Void Breaking realm and was the strongest known power in the dynasty, second only to him.

Being powerful was one thing.

Moreover, Ye Qinglian had a firm will and was dedicated to developing the dynasty's internal affairs.

In the past, the court had often urged the Empress to quickly establish an Imperial Sovereign to pass on the royal bloodline, but all such requests were rejected.

Why had Chu Ning suddenly become the Imperial Sovereign?

Chu Ning was a Mortal with no cultivation. He was only passably good-looking, which was fine. If Her Majesty liked him, she liked him; he could be kept in the harem to pass on the royal bloodline.

But now, Her Majesty had given Chu Ning far too much authority!

He was even accompanying Her Majesty to the Mingde Hall, the central hub of the Great Gan Dynasty!

Whether he was handling state affairs or not is unclear, but such behavior is already a complete defiance of patriarchal norms!

I always felt this kid wasn't simple, but he can only stay in the ancestral temple now, and there isn't much he can investigate.

But if this person dares to do anything detrimental to Your Majesty, he will definitely...

Suddenly.

Fang Houren raised his head, as if sensing something.

Above the Imperial Palace, the celestial timing seemed to have been disturbed.

Someone is calculating the celestial timing, and it's not someone within the palace?

The old man hesitated for a moment, then began to calculate by pinching his fingers.

However, the anomaly quickly disappeared.

"Was it an illusion? I clearly felt it just now. No, I need to investigate..."

Although he didn't think much of Chu Ning, Ye Qinglian was still the protagonist of the Grand Wedding.

Anything that affects Ye Qinglian's Grand Wedding must be prevented!

At this moment.

Inside Mingde Hall of the Imperial Palace, Chu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly. He had just finished processing the last memorial and handed it to Ye Qinglian.

My wife is cold again, ignoring me.

However, his actions just now were indeed quite bold.

Chu Ning didn't do anything, nor did he disturb Ye Qinglian. He simply walked out of the hall and took a breath of fresh air.

Looking out at the plaza outside Mingde Hall, the Dark Guards' stealth was indeed excellent, but it couldn't escape Chu Ning's eyes.

Of course.

Certain rats in the sewers also couldn't escape.

"You like calculating celestial timing, do you? Then I'll let you calculate."

Chu Ning flicked his finger, making the already disturbed celestial timing even more chaotic, and at the same time, he added a little something.

There are quite a few people watching my wife.

I originally intended to interact with you as an ordinary person, but now outsiders are targeting me.

No one can stop their Grand Wedding, let alone do anything.

Meanwhile, several Great Zhou Dynasty cultivators, stationed outside the Imperial Palace, had completed their preparations.

The leader was none other than the Heavenly Master of the Imperial Observatory!

He had entered Lieyang Holy Land, one of the Three Great Holy Lands, in the past, but was expelled for some reason and came to the Great Zhou Dynasty to become a retainer.

A cultivator in the middle stage of Void Breaking, he was definitely among the top experts in the Five Great Dynasties!

The man wore a purple Daoist robe, exuding an air of mastery. Seeing that his disciples had finished their preparations, he immediately activated the formation.

Nine Stars Shining Sun, using the midday sunlight to conceal the formation's aura and spy on everyone within the Imperial Palace to find the source of the Dragon Qi.

"A mere Great Gan Dynasty, a dynasty where cultivation has been interrupted, actually possesses such strong Dragon Qi..."

"When I find the source of this Dragon Qi and kill this person, I will graft it onto my Great Zhou Dynasty!"

He sneered, already beginning to activate the formation.

"Innocent people are condemned for their possessions. If you blame anyone, it's only your excessive Dragon Qi..."

Everything in the entire Imperial Palace instantly appeared in the old man's mind, every location, every person.

And the main hall, Mingde Hall, the central hub of the Imperial Palace, had the strongest and most potent Dragon Qi!

"It's here!"

He was overjoyed, not expecting it to be so easy. He immediately sent his divine sense into it to search for the source of the Dragon Qi.

However, the moment his divine sense entered, he didn't see any arrangements or people inside.

Instead, a brand new world suddenly appeared before him.

This world was immeasurably vast, while he was like a tiny speck of dust.

Just as the old man was confused, he seemed to sense something behind him.

He turned around abruptly, and his face turned pale. He trembled uncontrollably!

Before him stood a figure of immeasurable size, its end nowhere in sight!

No! He had been trapped!

A palm suddenly struck!

At the same time, outside the Imperial Palace, the cultivators of the Imperial Observatory maintaining the formation had their spiritual senses instantly torn apart. They spat out blood and died on the spot!

The purple-robed elder, possessing the highest cultivation, let out a mournful cry, his mind going blank as he collapsed.

Before the other cultivators beside him could react, the space around them was suddenly torn apart.

Fang Houren narrowed his eyes, looking at the cultivators before him with a hint of confusion.

"I haven't even made a move yet, why have you all fallen?"

But the elder became extremely agitated!

"Rats from the sewers have actually shown themselves? Then I won't be polite!"

A curved saber suddenly appeared in his hand.

The only Void Breaking realm Heavenly Master of the Imperial Observatory had his spiritual senses annihilated. The other cultivators couldn't dodge Fang Houren's long saber at all!

They could only let out mournful cries as they died one after another...

The elder, having finished all this, was extremely puzzled.

"There was a Void Breaking realm cultivator, yet they had no resistance at all. This shouldn't be happening..."

"It's truly strange. I should report this to Your Majesty first."
