Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Ning Rongrong quickly raised her glass, "Today is a welcome dinner for Zhu Zhuqing, let's chat about something happy!"
Zhu Zhuqing, tell me, have you encountered anything interesting in the Shrouding the Heavens World?
Or... an interesting person?
When Ning Rongrong mentioned "interesting people," she winked at Zhu Zhuqing, a sly smile in her eyes.
Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed slightly. She picked up her teacup, took a sip, and said calmly, "Nothing particularly interesting."
"I spend most of my time cultivating, and occasionally help my sister with some miscellaneous tasks."
"Miscellaneous tasks?"
Ning Rongrong pressed further, "Is it to serve that Heavenly Emperor?"
"Cough..."
Zhu Zhuqing choked on her tea, coughed lightly twice, and her ears turned slightly red. " Rongrong, don't talk nonsense."
How could I have talked nonsense?
Ning Rongrong leaned closer with a grin, "You and your sister are both servants of His Heavenly Emperor, so doesn't that mean you serve the Heavenly Emperor?"
Tell me quickly, what does that Heavenly Emperor look like?
Is he as breathtakingly handsome as he is in the Heavenly Screen "Skyfall"?
Ma Hongjun and Oscar also perked up their ears, and even Tang San and Yu Xiaogang showed curious expressions.
During the Heavenly Screen broadcast, although the figure of the white-robed Heavenly Emperor did not appear often, his stunning appearance and the aura that suppressed all ages left an indelible impression on everyone.
It was an ultimate Perfect World that transcended gender, race, and even time and space, making it unforgettable after just one glance.
Zhu Zhuqing blushed even more as everyone stared at her.
She lowered her head, her voice barely audible. "Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor... is indeed as seen in the Heavenly Screen."
"And then what?"
Ning Rongrong persisted, "How do you usually serve him?"
Did you eat it and then help him bathe?
Do I need to serve tea and water, make the bed and fold the blankets? Do I need to be available 24/7?
" Rongrong!"
Zhu Zhuqing finally couldn't hold back and glared at her, but there was not much anger in her beautiful eyes, but rather shame and annoyance.
"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore!"
Ning Rongrong raised her hands in surrender, but the smile in her eyes deepened.
The meal took more than an hour.
During the gathering, the crowd asked many questions about the Shrouding the Heavens World," and Zhu Zhuqing answered all the questions she could.
When they heard that the Shrouding the Heavens World had cultivators who could live for thousands of years, Mighty One who could move mountains and fill seas, and all sorts of strange races and Demonic Beast, everyone was amazed.
Wow, the world is so big.
So, the path of cultivation can be this long.
After dinner, Ning Rongrong pulled Zhu Zhuqing aside, insisting that she stay with her at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's villa in Suotuo City for one night.
Zhu Zhuqing originally intended to return to her dormitory at the Shrek Academy, but she couldn't resist Ning Rongrong's enthusiasm, and since she really had a lot to say to her best friend, she nodded in agreement.
Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Yu Xiaogang returned to the academy, while Tang San said he had some things to do and would go back later.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's villa in Suotuo City is located in a quiet neighborhood in the east of the city. It is an exquisite little courtyard, Ning Rongrong lives in a two-story building.
Although it is large, it is decorated in a warm and elegant style, revealing the ingenuity of a young girl everywhere.
" Zhu Zhuqing, please have a seat. I'll go prepare some hot water, and we'll take a nice bath together!"
As soon as Ning Rongrong entered the door, she said excitedly, "You must be exhausted after coming back from such a faraway place. Take a bath to relax!"
As Zhu Zhuqing watched Ning Rongrong's busy figure, a warmth rose in her cold heart.
During her three months in the Shrouding the Heavens World," she was constantly on edge, having to learn a completely new cultivation system and adapt to the rules of that world.
Only in front of Ning Rongrong could she relax and be that teenage girl again.
Soon, warm steam rose from the bathroom.
A large wooden tub, big enough to hold two people, was filled with rose petals treasured by Ning Rong, and a faint floral fragrance permeated the air.
" Zhu Zhuqing, come quick!"
Ning Rongrong had already taken off her outer clothes, wearing only a thin inner garment, and waved with a grin.
Zhu Zhuqing blushed slightly, but still walked over.
The two took off their clothes and stepped into the warm water.
The water temperature was just right, and the fragrance of rose petals lingered in the air, making one feel completely relaxed.
"Ah... that feels so good..."
Ning Rongrong sighed contentedly, leaned against the pool wall, and squinted her eyes.
Zhu Zhuqing also let out a soft sigh; the fatigue of the past three months seemed to melt away in that moment with the hot water.
After a moment of silence, Ning Rongrong suddenly opened her eyes, turned her head to look at Zhu Zhuqing, and that cunning light flashed in her eyes again.
" Zhu Zhuqing, there's no one else here now, so confess honestly..."
She lowered her voice, a mischievous smile on her face, "Did that Heavenly Emperor... eat you?"
"Puff--"
Zhu Zhuqing nearly spat out her water, her face instantly turning bright red. " Rongrong! What nonsense are you talking about!"
"I'm not talking nonsense!"
Ning Rongrong said confidently, "That Heavenly Emperor is so handsome and powerful, anyone would be tempted, right?"
You've been living with him day and night for three months, and he hasn't done anything for you?
for example...
Did he accidentally touch your hand? Or did he call you to his room in the middle of the night to 'talk about something'?
"N-no!"
Zhu Zhuqing was so ashamed she almost wanted to bury herself in the water. "His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor is the supreme being, how could he..."
She has those kinds of thoughts about me!
And we always have rules; when we serve him, we wear clothes... clothes!"
At this point, Zhu Zhuqing felt a little guilty, after all, if those kinds of clothes could be considered clothes...
"Real?"
Ning Rongrong looked at her suspiciously, "So, has your figure really gotten that good?"
The panel has become so slippery?
Are there any special maintenance methods in the Shrouding the Heavens World? Or is it...?
Was it because His Majesty 'nourished' her?
" Ning Rongrong!"
Zhu Zhuqing was both embarrassed and angry. She scooped up a handful of water and splashed it at her, saying, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'm leaving!"
"Oh, don't be angry!"
Ning Rongrong giggled and dodged away, "I was just curious!"
Such a Perfect World man, constantly in front of you, how could you not be tempted at all?
If it were me, I probably would have fallen in love with him long ago, and might even have taken the initiative...
"Shut up!"
Zhu Zhuqing covered her ears, but the image of that person kept appearing in her mind.
Dressed in white, he stood with his hands behind his back, as if at the end of time, with the vicissitudes of eternity settling in his eyes.
With just a glance, he could make the heavens tremble;
With a mere wave of his hand, he could make the Milky Way reverse.
Such an existence is so Perfect World it seems unreal, as distant as the stars in the sky.
Was she... moved?
Zhu Zhuqing didn't know.
All she knew was that her heart would race involuntarily every time she saw His Majesty.
Every time His Majesty looked at her, even just for a fleeting glance, she would become so nervous that her palms would sweat.
When His Majesty guided her in cultivation, his clear and melodious voice would echo repeatedly in her dreams.
if...
If one day, she could truly become His Majesty's woman...
