While Li Chen and the seven Puppet Dao Grandmasters gathered at Qian'an Palace, and Heavenly Will extended the Puppet World Heavenly Net there to transform it into a domain of the Puppet Dao, Hu Meiniang was frolicking with a handsome male demon cultivator in Kunning Palace.
Hu Meiniang laughed like a tinkling silver bell. "Come on, hurry..."
Blindfolded, the handsome man lunged this way and that through the hall, but with his senses sealed by a magic talisman, he could never reach her.
After a long while, the handsome man finally lost patience. He tore off the black cloth over his eyes and sprang forward. "Caught you."
Her alluring eyes misty with desire, Hu Meiniang let herself fall into his arms and wriggled like a worm. "You're so naughty."
"If this humble servant weren't naughty, how could I win Your Majesty's favor?" the handsome man said. "Your Majesty, stop running. I can barely hold back."
His face was flushed crimson. Clearly, he had taken an aphrodisiac and was so desperate he was almost bursting into flames.
Hu Meiniang raised her sleeve and giggled, but instead of indulging him, she slipped from his arms like a water snake and hid again.
"Heehee..."
Only after another good while did the two finally embrace and tumble onto a carved, embroidered couch in the bedchamber.
But just as the handsome man was about to mount her and engage in unspeakable acts, Hu Meiniang suddenly pushed him away and stopped, tilting her head to listen.
The handsome man was bewildered. "Your Majesty, you..."
"Quiet!" Hu Meiniang said coldly. She seemed to have sensed what was happening over at Qian'an Palace.
In all of present-day Great Qian, Hu Meiniang held the third-highest level of authority, after Emperor Chongdao and Hu Ze's Avatar. She possessed governing authority
