Bibi Dong hurriedly pulled her skirt back into place, startled.
"Husband, Dong'er thought you liked it."
Bibi Dong lowered her head and explained, looking a little aggrieved.
"Don't act all hurt. I'm not listening. It's late, so you're sleeping on the floor tonight.
"Tomorrow morning, you'll come with me to the Worship Hall to visit Grandpa Qian and the others."
Once he'd given his instructions, Ye Guyue strode off and entered the master bedroom.
No matter what, he really needed to establish some authority. Letting Dong'er have her way all the time wasn't going to work.
"Do I really have to sleep on the floor?"
As dusk settled, Bibi Dong watched Ye Guyue switch on the lights in the master bedroom.
Clinging to a faint hope, she went inside, only to find that Ye Guyue had already laid out bedding for her on the floor.
Her last shred of hope vanished in an instant, and she drooped.
She rushed forward and wrapped her arms around Ye Guyue's waist. "Husband, can you really bear to make Dong'er sleep on the floor?"
"I can!" Ye Guyue answered firmly, pushing Bibi Dong away as he spoke.
"Sleep on the floor, or get out."
Seeing there was no room for negotiation, Bibi Dong could only obediently give in. If she kept being willful, she might not even be allowed to sleep on the floor.
Ye Guyue said, "Be good, and tomorrow I'll let you sleep in the bed."
"Dong'er will do whatever you say, Husband," Bibi Dong replied obediently.
Ye Guyue untied his robe, and it slipped from his shoulders.
Bibi Dong's eyes lit up at the sight of his fair, fragrant shoulders.
She could only swallow silently.
Ye Guyue naturally noticed Bibi Dong's burning gaze.
He paid it no mind. You could say he was used to it.
He had only just folded the robe in his hands when Bibi Dong snatched it away.
"Dong'er, what are you doing?"
"Husband, I'm afraid I'll be cold tonight. I'll use your robe as a blanket. You don't mind, do you?"
Bibi Dong gave him a mischievous grin.
"Fine, just don't try anything funny."
With that, Ye Guyue climbed into bed, pulled up the covers, and switched off the master bedroom lights.
On that silent night, Bibi Dong curled up on the floor, deeply unhappy.
They were already husband and wife.
Yet she had to punish herself by sleeping on the floor.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Bibi Dong looked at Ye Guyue, who was fast asleep, and gritted her teeth.
"Once the secret chamber is ready, I'll make sure Husband learns what I'm capable of."
Ye Guyue wasn't asleep. He was meditating and undergoing the first trial of his divine inheritance.
His consciousness was drawn into a resplendent palace. Nine golden dragons circled all around him, their presence awe-inspiring.
"Ye Guyue, the first trial of the Holy Dragon Nine Trials: Holy Dragon Bloodline, Origin Awakening.
"Trial objective: Enter the Bloodline Secret Realm left behind by the Holy Dragon God and undergo the baptism of the ancient Radiant Holy Dragon's origin. Purge every impurity in your body and awaken the purest Dragon God Power in your bloodline. During the process, you must resist the dark temptation lurking deep within your bloodline."
The Holy Dragon God before Ye Guyue spoke slowly, explaining the trial's objective.
"How long is the time limit?" Ye Guyue asked.
"There is no time limit. The Holy Dragon Nine Trials are exceptionally difficult. In all the time I've been here, you're the only one I've chosen, so I'll give you more than enough time."
The Holy Dragon God had nearly gone mad from being stuck in the Divine Realm. Giving Ye Guyue ample time was already the most he could do.
"Thank you, Senior."
Without a time limit, he could take things slowly. Unlike the Sea God Nine Trials, where the first trial gave him only a year.
Without ample strength, and without having eaten Immortal Herbs like Tang San had, an ordinary person would struggle to climb the 333 steps during the first Sea God Trial, even with a whole year.
"Don't thank me. This trial won't be easy. Do your best."
The Holy Dragon God gave a gentle breath, and Ye Guyue's consciousness instantly returned to his body.
He suddenly opened his eyes in alarm, only to find Bibi Dong straddling his stomach, her legs spread apart, watching him with a hungry look.
"Dong'er!" Ye Guyue cried out, aghast.
She'd actually dared to fool around while he was undergoing his trial.
Bibi Dong giggled. "Husband, the floor was cold, so I climbed up here."
Just now, Husband hadn't reacted at all. How had he suddenly woken up?
If only she'd known, she would have jabbed him with her Spider Spear and injected him with sleeping venom.
"Do you think I'd believe that?" Ye Guyue sneered. "Dong'er, since you don't like sleeping on the floor, then I'll make you sleep..." His vision went black. "Mmph..."
Bibi Dong had actually attacked him!
She said nothing, only pressing her attack.
Ye Guyue tried to push her away.
But Bibi Dong pinned his arms down.
"Husband, I'm sorry. For our sake, and so the Great Enshrined can hold his grandchild soon, let's work hard tonight!"
"Don't... Dong'er, you can't do this."
Early the next morning, Ye Guyue's face was a little pale, completely drained of color.
He braced himself against the wall as he put on his white robe, only then letting out a slight breath of relief.
"Husband, come help me. I'm in so much pain."
Bibi Dong sat on the edge of the bed.
She didn't dare get up.
Her face showed deep satisfaction, and after being thoroughly pampered—
Her complexion was much rosier, but her legs were weak, and she didn't dare get out of bed.
"Dong'er, how can you even say that? This is all your fault," Ye Guyue said irritably.
"Husband, you can't say that. You were pretty impressive last night too, weren't you?" Bibi Dong giggled.
Last night, her husband had seemed a little angry. He'd driven her to the brink over and over until she begged for mercy before he finally stopped.
"Don't talk nonsense. If you hadn't stuffed me with Whale Rubber, would I be like this?" Ye Guyue snorted. The tips of his ears flushed faintly, and, feeling a little embarrassed, he went over to help Bibi Dong out of bed.
"Husband, what happened last night has happened. Don't be mad, okay? I don't want to sleep on the floor anymore." Bibi Dong's eyes reddened slightly. "I'm your wife, after all. Can you really bear to make me sleep on the floor?"
"Give me a break. You're my wife? You're more like a ravenous tiger." Ye Guyue glared at Bibi Dong, though he wasn't angry.
"Get ready. We're going to see Grandpa Qian and the others."
Ye Guyue steadied Bibi Dong and helped her get dressed.
"Husband, how about we do it three times a day?"
Once she was dressed, Bibi Dong pushed her luck.
"Get lost."
Ye Guyue let go of her.
Three times a day? Were you trying to kill me?
Ye Guyue had realized that Bibi Dong loved pushing her luck with questions.
He left the master bedroom without waiting for Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong licked her lips. Her mouth felt dry, and a little swollen.
She put on her shoes and hurried after him.
They left the courtyard and made their way to the Worship Hall.
Quite a few Enshrined were gathered inside.
When Qian Daoliu saw them arrive, he immediately smiled and asked, "Are you two comfortable in your new Wedding Chamber?"
"Comfor—" Ye Guyue had just begun to answer.
Bibi Dong immediately cut him off, her voice full of cheer.
"Very comfortable! Great Enshrined, you have no idea how amazing Husband is. He must be trying to help you hold a grandchild as soon as possible."
"Really, Guyue?" Qian Daoliu asked with a smile.
Ye Guyue was furious, but she'd already said that much, so he could only nod.
"That's right, Grandpa Qian."
"Good. I may need you to put in some effort today. I hear the Clear Sky Sect is coming to challenge us."
