Chapter 29: Grandfather’s First Kiss Was About to Disappear?

The distance between them was only a few inches, and their eyes were locked in a gaze.

A colorful bubble floated in the air, and the dim candlelight cast a mesmerizing glow.

Chu Qingyue’s cheeks slowly drew closer, and her mind kept replaying the scene of their date in the city.

For a moment, she forgot to dodge.

Looking at those soft lips, Nie Chen was also in a daze, as if possessed by a spirit, and he slowly leaned in.

“Is his first kiss going to be given away here?”

Just as their lips were about to touch, the door burst open.

In an instant, the two of them were separated by a distance, but it was already too late.

“Empress, Nie Chen, what are you doing here?”

Shen Congshuang looked at the two of them, each with an embarrassed expression, and she was clearly puzzled.

When she first entered, she seemed to see Empress and Nie Chen’s faces very close together.

But what were they doing so close together?

Were they counting the number of nose hairs in each other’s nostrils?

Hmm, Empress shouldn’t have such a weird hobby.

Chu Qingyue forced herself to think for a while before finally picking up the bubble sparkling water and answering with Empress’s usual calm demeanor:

“I’m researching this strange liquid.”

“Liquid?”

Shen Congshuang walked forward, carefully observing the liquid, and asked curiously:

“But this liquid doesn’t have any spiritual energy; what can it be used for?”

“Oh, I remember! This must be the drink that Empress has been researching!”

Trying to make up for her previous failures, Shen Congshuang patted her chest and said with a confident tone:

“Empress, let me be the test subject!”

After saying that, she took the bubble water and drank it all without hesitation.

Only by drinking it all could she express her endless loyalty to Empress!

“The taste is weird, and it’s bubbling; it’s not good.”

With a mouthful of bubbles, Shen Congshuang’s voice was a bit muffled.

“Ah, yes.”

Just then, a cold voice like ice and snow echoed in her ear:

“Shen Congshuang, can you tell me what you’re doing here, suddenly bursting into my bedroom?”

“Ah, this…”

Shen Congshuang suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and she deliberately answered vaguely:

“Empress, my mouth is full of bubbles; I can’t speak clearly.”

“Oh? Then it seems I need to help you a bit.”

Hearing Empress Qingyue’s voice, even though it was summer, Shen Congshuang felt like she was falling into an ice cave.

“Empress, no!”

But no matter how much she struggled, in front of Chu Qingyue, she had no room for resistance.

After being dragged behind the curtain…

Under the candlelight, the shadow on the curtain seemed to be swaying.

Unspeakable sounds came one after another, making Nie Chen unable to help but…use his hand as an amplifier, putting it to his ear to listen more clearly…

After a while, Shen Congshuang, who had assassinated countless strong warriors and was feared by world cultivators, ran out of the bedroom with tears in her eyes, her face red with shame.

‘Is this Empress’s method? It’s really too terrifying.’

Nie Chen even thought that if possible, please punish him like this.

The two of them exchanged an awkward glance, and although they didn’t say anything, they both left the bedroom without a word.

Behind the Heavenly Cloud Palace, next to a huge rock…

Chu Qingyue sat slowly on the grass, and Nie Chen quickly caught a big rabbit.

With his skilled roasting techniques and pure flames, he roasted the rabbit to perfection.

In no time, a delicious aroma filled the mountain top, but Chu Qingyue didn’t eat as much as she usually did.

The wind blew gently, and her soft hair fluttered in the breeze.

“Empress, is there something on your mind?”

Nie Chen asked.

Chu Qingyue seemed puzzled: “Why are you addressing me so formally this time?”

Nie Chen: “I have no choice; I’m afraid of being spanked. But if you’re willing, being spanked isn’t impossible.”

“You always say something improper!”

Chu Qingyue pinched Nie Chen’s waist.

But looking at the distant mountain peaks, she became silent.

After a while, Chu Qingyue turned her head slightly, her voice barely above a whisper:

“I ask you, with so many women in the world, why did you choose to confess to me back then, even though it was almost certain death?”

Nie Chen immediately responded: “That’s because Empress, you’re intelligent, beautiful, kind, and lovely…”

Chu Qingyue pinched Nie Chen again, this time harder, making him gasp in pain.

“Okay, I’ll tell the truth then.”

In an instant, Nie Chen became serious.

Looking into Chu Qingyue’s clear eyes, he said with deep emotion:

“Actually, from the moment I saw Empress, I fell deeply in love with you, and I realized I couldn’t help myself; I had to confess to express all my feelings. Maybe this is what they call love at first sight.”

“Impossible, I…”

Hearing these words, Chu Qingyue’s heart rate increased many times, but she still tried to counterattack, her voice barely audible:

“Love at first sight is just being attracted to someone’s appearance. A person’s beauty is fleeting; if you only like me for that…”

“I said love at first sight, but it’s not just about appearance.”

Nie Chen interrupted without hesitation.

“It’s about temperament, character, and everything Empress shows in her actions. Every smile, every move, even your decisiveness in killing; I love it all. Moreover, only I know that the cold and beautiful Empress Qingyue has a warm and lovely personality.”

“Enough, stop talking.”

Chu Qingyue’s face turned bright red, and her beautiful ears were also red.

Nie Chen: “I must say it now.

Not only that, but I also want to recite the love letter again!

“People call you the empress, but I only wish for you to become a moon.

Because the moonlight that the clear moon sheds will eventually illuminate my heart, making everything about you become my forever.

The moonlight that falls is not one-tenth as beautiful as you, and everything in this world is only worthy of being your background.

”

This love letter seemed like a magic spell; every time Chu Qingyue heard it, she couldn’t help but be immersed in it, unable to escape.

The more she listened, the faster her heart beat.

Even though she tried to distract herself, she couldn’t ignore it.

On the mountain peak of the Heavenly Cloud Palace, surrounded by clouds and mist, with the occasional cool breeze blowing by…

In this beautiful scenery, Nie Chen and Chu Qingyue’s faces slowly drew closer.

“Empress, today I really have a great connection with you!

Haha, I didn’t expect to meet you here again!”

But suddenly, a familiar voice echoed again.

Looking at Shen Congshuang, who had appeared behind them, Chu Qingyue smiled sweetly.

However, this smile contained both coldness and killing intent.
