An Intimate Day at Home

Heaven Dou Crown Prince's Residence.

Qian Renxue looked up at the Heavenly Screen. When she saw herself in that outfit, her cheeks flushed crimson. She hurriedly lowered her head, embarrassed and annoyed.

What is my future self doing? Why would I dress so provocatively? Now everyone on the continent has seen it!

Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo stood on either side of the hall, their eyes fixed on the screen overhead. Both struggled to keep straight faces and maintain the composure expected of Titled Douluo.

But the slight upward curl of their lips gave them away.

In the girls' dormitory at Heaven Dou Junior Academy.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling sat close together, sharing quiet confidences. They looked up at the Heavenly Screen outside the window.

When their romantic rival Qian Renxue appeared, her outfit accentuating every curve, the two exchanged a glance. Then they looked down at themselves and sighed in unison.

Leaving cultivation, talent, and status aside, that figure alone was enough to make them envious.

[Not long afterward, a sleepy-eyed Li Mushuang emerged from the bedroom. Li Qingyang took his little sister to wash up. Once they were done, the two children bounced into the kitchen to help Qian Renxue.

"Mom, why are you wearing that today instead of your Papal attire?" Li Qingyang asked curiously.

Qian Renxue kept arranging the plates as she answered gently, "Qingyang, have you forgotten? Today's the big day of your Spirit Awakening."

"Oh! Right, I almost forgot." Li Qingyang scratched the back of his head with an awkward smile.

Beside him, Li Mushuang opened her round eyes wide. "Mom, are you and Dad coming to cheer for my brother?"

"Of course." A faint smile touched Qian Renxue's lips. "This is one of the most important moments of Qingyang's life. Your father and I will be there to witness it. Spirit Hall's business can wait a day."

"Great! Mu Shuang wants to cheer for him too!" the little girl exclaimed.

"All right, you can come. The whole family will be there for Qingyang." Affection filled Qian Renxue's eyes. "You two take the food to the dining table. I'll go upstairs and wake your father."

"Okay!"

The children carefully picked up the plates and carried them toward the living room.

Qian Renxue turned and went upstairs. She pushed open the master bedroom door and walked in.

The curtains were half drawn, letting soft morning light spill into the room. Li Xun slept soundly on the large bed, sprawled without a care and snoring faintly.

He had clearly "exerted" himself too much the night before and had yet to recover.

Qian Renxue walked to the bedside and looked at the sleeping man with a gentle smile. She reached out and gave his shoulder a light push. "A Xun, time to get up for breakfast."

Li Xun was still deep in sleep. He could not be bothered to open his eyes, and his voice came out hoarse and drowsy. "No... Xue'er, let me sleep a little longer."

She called him several more times, but he showed no sign of waking.

Qian Renxue shook her head helplessly, then hopped onto the bed and sat on Li Xun's stomach. Leaning down, she brought her lips to his ear and whispered with a mischievous edge, "A Xun, if you keep lying here, I'm going to collect what you owe me."

The instant she finished speaking!

Li Xun's eyes flew open, every trace of sleep gone. He wrapped an arm around Qian Renxue, lifted her off him, and gently set her beside him. Then he snatched up his clothes and dashed into the bathroom. His hurried voice came through the door: "I'm up, Xue'er! No need to trouble yourself!"

Qian Renxue sat comfortably on the edge of the bed, not the least bit flustered. A teasing smile curved her lips as she looked toward the bathroom. "You can run, but you can't hide. Just wait until tonight."]

As the scene in the master bedroom played, comments exploded across the Heavenly Screen, scrolling so thick and fast they nearly covered the image.

[Whoa! She really knows what she's doing! Who could withstand a move like that from the Angel God Qian Renxue?]

[Help, is this what the Angel God is like at home? She's nothing like the lofty figure I imagined.]

[Asura God Li Xun reacted so fast. One sentence and he launched himself out of bed! Hahaha!]

["You can run, but you can't hide." I'm remembering that one!]

[Wait, what's she going to do to him tonight? Did I hear that right?]

[No wonder Li Xun was so tired this morning. He overexerted himself last night. It all makes sense now.]

[The Angel God looks so dignified, but she's this bold in private? Talk about a contrast.]

[I'm tired of saying I'm jealous. What kind of dream life does future Li Xun have?]

[Don't just envy him. Remember what the Heavenly Screen said earlier? Several other women are entangled with him too.]

[It's over. After seeing this, I'm even more jealous of Li Xun!]

Spirit City, Worship Hall.

In the grand, solemn hall, the assembled worshippers looked up at the Heavenly Screen. They exchanged awkward glances, but not one of them dared speak.

For these old-fashioned worshippers, such an intimate glimpse of married life was almost too much to bear. None knew what to say, so they pretended they had seen nothing!

At the front, Qian Daoliu's expression had darkened slightly. Future Qian Renxue was both the Pope and the Angel God. Everything she did reflected on Spirit Hall, and this scene had damaged its dignity.

He sighed inwardly. Even at home, even with her husband, Xiao Xue shouldn't be so unguarded!

Heaven Dou Crown Prince's Residence.

Watching what she had done in the master bedroom and hearing her teasing words ring out so clearly, Qian Renxue felt heat surge up her neck and into her cheeks.

Her beautiful face burned red, even to the tips of her ears. She hastily lowered her gaze, unable to look at the screen above, and gripped the hem of her broad robe.

She was mortified, irritated, and utterly helpless.

The thought that her grandfather Qian Daoliu and all the worshippers in distant Spirit City must have seen it too made her want the ground to swallow her whole.

As Spirit Hall's young mistress and the future Angel God, she was supposed to be dignified and holy. Now everyone had seen this intimate side of her. How was she ever supposed to reveal her true identity?!

Snake Lance Douluo and Pufferfish Douluo caught a glimpse of their young mistress's embarrassment. They exchanged a look, then vanished from the spot in a flash, afraid she might take it out on them!
