Chapter 279: Revenge of the Empress, Great Emperor’s Finger

Night fell.

The night was pitch black.

The entire Heavenly Cloud Palace was silent, save for the faint, delicate moans drifting from the bedchamber.

They were like flowing spring water, melodious and enchanting.

Under the moonlight.

Beautiful silhouettes swayed, and breathy sounds filled the air.

The zither and se harmonized, like a murmuring stream.

…

…

At dawn, Nie Chen rubbed his aching back, feeling utterly drained.

The Empress’s beast-eared girl attire was indeed excessively beautiful, but it was also life-threatening!

Fortunately, he had accumulated some strength while comprehending the enlightenment portrait; otherwise, getting out of bed this morning might have been difficult.

A ray of sunlight shone into the bedchamber. Chu Qingyue, her long hair disheveled, stretched languidly with a soft moan.

She exuded an air of laziness. Her loose sleepwear tightened as she stretched her arms, outlining her perfect curves.

From top to bottom, her skin was as radiant as snow, graceful and flawless, especially her long, slender legs, half-concealed by the blanket…

Nie Chen shook his head helplessly.

It was a pity he lacked the strength; otherwise, he would have taken the Empress right there and then once more.

“Hehe.”

At this moment, Chu Qingyue suddenly looked at Nie Chen, a giggle escaping her lips as she covered her mouth with her jade hand.

Although her laughter was clear and pleasant, her beautiful eyes held a playful glint.

“This Empress thought you were so formidable, but it turns out you’re all talk. You only lasted for…”

Trailing off mid-sentence, Chu Qingyue leaned close to Nie Chen’s ear and whispered the brief duration.

“Hateful!”

Unable to reach the Great Emperor Realm, Nie Chen gritted his teeth in shame.

He could only regain his face after stepping into the Ascension Realm.

“Hmph, this Empress has actually won again.”

Chu Qingyue was extremely proud, staring at Nie Chen with delight:

“So, even though it’s daytime, do you want to continue with this Empress…?”

Bending slightly, a hint of white appeared at her neckline, exceptionally captivating.

Her coldly stunning face deliberately wore a gentle smile, so beautiful it seemed to capture one’s soul.

But just then, the bedchamber door suddenly creaked open.

Immediately after…

“Creak.”

The bedchamber door swung open.

“Ah, apologies, Empress, I forgot to knock.”

Opening the door, Shen Congshuang suddenly realized she had forgotten to knock and hurriedly apologized.

But soon, she noticed the unusual scene before her.

On the bedchamber bed, the blankets and sheets were slightly disheveled.

Chu Qingyue sat upright, as if trying to hide something.

Her deliberately cold expression seemed strangely odd.

Moreover, Shen Congshuang sniffed carefully.

She felt a sense of decadence in the air.

The scent was neither pleasant nor unpleasant, a strange odor she had never encountered before.

“What is the matter?”

Chu Qingyue’s voice was cold.

“Well, it’s because of an important matter that I came to see the Empress so early in the morning.”

Seeing that the Empress was not angry, Shen Congshuang hurriedly answered:

“Saintess Fanhua has just arrived at the Heavenly Cloud Palace and said she wants to…”

“Hmm~”

Mid-sentence, Shen Congshuang suddenly heard an extremely pleasant voice.

‘Strange, was that the Empress?’

Shen Congshuang was puzzled.

As the former strongest assassin of the Heavenly Cloud Palace, her judgment and perception were unmatched.

In her memory, the Empress had never sat so upright before.

The Empress’s straight posture suggested she was trying to hide something.

Just what…

Suddenly, Shen Congshuang finally discovered the anomaly.

The blanket covering Chu Qingyue’s long, slender legs seemed much more puffed up than usual.

There seemed to be something under the blanket!

…

At this moment, Chu Qingyue was clearly not as calm as she appeared.

The moment Shen Congshuang entered, Nie Chen had quickly slipped under the blanket to hide himself.

If that were all, it wouldn’t have mattered.

The problem was…

She had just mocked Nie Chen and never expected to encounter such a scene.

Hidden under the blanket, Nie Chen had the advantage of location.

He even seemed to be seeking revenge, groping and teasing her.

The soft moan just now was because Nie Chen had drawn a circle with his finger on the center of her soft, exquisite foot.

After a few circles, even though she tried to resist, Chu Qingyue almost burst out laughing from the tickling sensation, tears welling up in her eyes.

More importantly, Nie Chen hadn’t stopped.

He continued to move upwards in the darkness under the blanket.

Just the tickling had been so embarrassing, but now…

“Hey, stop it!”

Instantly, Chu Qingyue’s face flushed crimson.

No matter how much she tried to hide it, a faint sense of panic was revealed.

This inexplicable feeling was caught by Shen Congshuang.

The disheveled room, the strange smell, the oddly behaving Empress.

These seemingly insignificant clues alerted her, a seasoned assassin, to something amiss.

Her mind raced, and Shen Congshuang stared at Chu Qingyue in astonishment, as if suddenly enlightened.

“Could it be, there’s an assassin hiding under the blanket!”

Shen Congshuang was suddenly startled.

The faint blush on Chu Qingyue’s cheeks further strengthened her conviction that the Empress might be in danger!

Fortunately, her keen senses had discovered it in time!

To threaten the Empress, the assassin hiding under the blanket must be extremely powerful.

But as a Holy Envoy of the Heavenly Cloud Palace, she would do her utmost to protect the Empress, no matter how formidable the foe!

Gritting her teeth.

Suddenly, she took a step forward, heading straight for Chu Qingyue.

And her gaze was fixed on the blanket.

“What are you going to do?”

Chu Qingyue also noticed Shen Congshuang’s gaze.

But at this moment, the situation under the blanket was even more urgent.

“Wife, you started it first. You can’t blame me for this.”

Nie Chen smiled slightly and used the System reward he had just comprehended a few days ago – the Great Emperor’s Finger!

Although it could only be used once a day.

But his one finger would be enough to unleash the power of a Great Emperor.

Shen Congshuang’s figure flickered, about to reach the blanket.

“Hmm~”

But just then, she saw the Empress’s cheeks flush as she let out a peculiar sound.

“What… happened?”

Shen Congshuang was completely dumbfounded.

In all her years at the Heavenly Cloud Palace, she had never seen such a situation.

At this moment, Chu Qingyue, her delicate body trembling slightly, suddenly stepped off the bed.

Barefoot, she slowly walked towards Shen Congshuang.

Her cheeks were flushed, but her mouth wore a cold, subtle smile:

“Congshuang, it seems you forgot to knock again when entering this Empress’s bedchamber this morning.”

Hearing this, Shen Congshuang instantly felt a chill down her spine.

Whenever the Empress made this sound, she knew she was in trouble.

“Hehe, so the Empress wasn’t threatened by an assassin… No, Empress, listen to my explanation, I forgot to knock because I wanted to report quickly, it definitely wasn’t intentional!”

However, her resistance was futile.

A terrifying smile hung on Chu Qingyue’s lips, and she quickly dragged Shen Congshuang behind the screen…
