Who Are You, and Why Are You in My Bed!

Snow Ji wasted no time on the others. Taking Su Ling by the hand, she passed through the crowd and left without looking back.

The two hurried back to Xue Ke's chambers. Xue Ke was nowhere to be found, leaving only Su Ling and Snow Ji there.

"So this is where you live, Master? It smells like a girl."

Snow Ji sat on the bed with a wicked grin. Her already loose clothing slipped into a state of partial concealment, and her expression grew even more seductive.

But Su Ling remained unmoved. Even if he wanted to move, he could not. This was a case of making eyes at a eunuch.

"Anything you want to say?"

Su Ling asked first. After all, there were simply too many bizarre things.

"Oh? I'm still me."

Snow Ji drew Su Ling into her embrace with her legs while extending her slender, jade-like hands to slowly guide him.

"Holy shit, am I allowed to watch this?"

Within her Martial Soul, Hu Liena shyly covered her eyes.

"You useless thing! You're both foxes, but she's already climbed aboard while you're still hesitating!"

Bibi Dong looked thoughtful. Could Su Ling like fox spirits?

As it happened, Na Na's Martial Soul was a fox, and there was a fox-tail external soul bone in the treasury. She might as well take it out, give it to Hu Liena, and send her straight into battle.

"Lingling, I told you we should have followed them earlier and tried our luck."

Dugu Yan had regained her usual liveliness. She was a classic case of being fierce only at home; she could not get a word out around strangers, especially Su Ling.

"Mm..."

Ye Lingling's attention was not on Dugu Yan at all. She stared fixedly at the two people in the image.

Although she usually kept strangers at a distance, that was only because their nine heart begonia Martial Soul was special, and the vast majority of those who approached her harbored ulterior motives.

Thus, deep down, she also hoped that a powerful Prince Charming would appear in her life. Now she was certain that person was Su Ling, but her Prince Charming was currently cosplaying a centaur with a fox spirit!

Although she felt somewhat disappointed, she was also inexplicably excited.

"Lingling? Lingling? Are you listening to me?"

Only then did Ye Lingling come back to her senses. Oh no, have I awakened some strange trait?

"Yue'er, you're watching so intently."

Shui Bing'er quietly slipped into Shui Yue'er's room. Absorbed in studying human crossbreeding, Shui Yue'er clearly had not noticed the sneaking Shui Bing'er.

"Huh? No, I'm not." Shui Yue'er hastily picked up a book from beside her and pretended to read.

"I'm studying. I wasn't watching what Su Ling was doing..."

Shui Bing'er gave a wicked smile, climbed onto Shui Yue'er's bed, and whispered against her ear, "Su Ling is doing..."

Shui Yue'er's face instantly flushed crimson.

Shui Bing'er did not let up. Her cool little hand slipped past Shui Yue'er's defenses one after another. "Let me see whether my little sister is drenched in sweat too."

The sun moved west, and dusk gradually fell.

Xue Ke dragged her weary body back to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. Early that morning, she had heard that Su Ling had gone out, but after searching Heaven Dou City all day, she had not caught sight of him.

Snow Ji gazed at Su Ling, who had fallen asleep in her arms, with a gentle, satisfied smile.

"He really is a child. He goes to sleep when he's tired."

Xue Qinghe-or, more accurately, Qian Renxue-was alone in the secret chamber, frantic with anxiety. Xue Ye had regained his health, rendering all her years of painstaking schemes worthless.

She had meant to think about what to do next, but after Su Ling and Snow Ji's antics, there was some golden liquid on the floor.

"You! Who are you, and why are you in my bed!"

When Xue Ke returned to her chambers, the first thing that met her eyes was a pair of enormous white twin Martial Souls. Then she saw that the woman was lying stark naked on her bed.

After being put through her paces by Su Ling all day, Snow Ji was in no mood to speak to the young girl before her, so she simply used her spiritual power.

Xue Ke suddenly felt utterly exhausted. Before she could ask anything else, she simply lay down on the bed and fell asleep too.

The next day, Heaven Dou City was bustling.

Factions from across the Heaven Dou Empire had all sent representatives to Heaven Dou City to celebrate Xue Ye's recovery.

Both Titled Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were present as well.

Su Ling was just about to leave when Xue Qinghe, who had been waiting outside Xue Ke's chambers since early that morning, stopped him.

"These are the formal clothes Father prepared for you."

Xue Qinghe handed the clothes to Su Ling, then turned and noticed Snow Ji behind him. He took out another outfit and handed it to Snow Ji.

Seeing that both the others had new clothes to wear, Xue Ke held out her hand to Xue Qinghe in some annoyance.

"Where are mine?"

"Xue Ke, don't make trouble."

Xue Qinghe gave Su Ling an awkward smile. "My little sister has been spoiled since childhood. Please don't take offense."

Then Xue Qinghe led Xue Ke away from the chambers.

The Heaven Dou Empire now had only two princes, Xue Qinghe and Xue Beng. Xue Beng was confined, and Xue Ke still had to help receive the distinguished guests arriving from all over.

The Heaven Dou Imperial Family's hereditary Martial Soul was the swan, which was weak in combat. Their foothold on the continent depended on support from sects and great clans.

Even as crown prince, Xue Qinghe treated the representatives of every faction with the utmost respect.

Su Ling and Snow Ji, meanwhile, went back to change.

Snow Ji shed her loose clothing, which had made her striking assets obvious at a glance, and changed into the formal dress Xue Qinghe had prepared.

Her earlier seductive air gave way to a somewhat cool aloofness. Su Ling watched without blinking.

"Do you like this style, Master?"

"No... as long as it's you, Sister Snow Ji, I like it."

Despite having lived two lives, with a combined age of nearly thirty, Su Ling was still like a raw recruit before Snow Ji.

"You say such lovely things, Master. Snow Ji likes you more and more."

Seeing that Su Ling had yet to change, Snow Ji stepped forward to help.

"Sect Master Ning, it's been a long time."

Xue Ye smiled at Ning Fengzhi as he approached. If one were to name the Heaven Dou Empire's greatest pillar of support, it was undoubtedly the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Your Majesty Xue Ye, has your illness truly been cured?"

Ning Fengzhi found it somewhat hard to believe. Even Poison Douluo had been helpless against Xue Ye's previous condition.

They had not seen each other for only a few months, yet his complexion had improved so much.

"That's a long story. That day, Xue Ke brought back from the street..."

"Where is that young man now?"

Ning Fengzhi's intuition told him that the young man who had cured Xue Ye was absolutely no ordinary person and would surely stand at the pinnacle of the continent in the future.

If he could seize the opportunity to win him over, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have someone to carry on its legacy.

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was powerful now, and with the Clear Sky Sect having sealed its mountain gates, they could be called the greatest sect in the world.

But neither Sword Douluo nor Bone Douluo had children, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had yet to recruit any younger talents with formidable combat strength.

There was a distinct air of decline, with the old generation fading and no new generation ready to take its place.

Ning Rongrong looked this way and that, searching everywhere for Su Ling.
