Chapter 1297 - 357: Body and Mind Belong Only to You
The inexplicable discomfort made Ye Lingyue rub her nose and glare at the bed.
On the bed, a certain man was lounging leisurely, bending his long legs and crossing his arms, lying on her bed.
Because Ye Lingyue stayed in the most ordinary guest room, Di Shen’s tall figure made the bed look cramped with just a casual lean.
"Di Shen, get out immediately! Didn’t you get assigned a luxurious guest room?"
The City Lord of Shui City had been extremely neglectful towards Ye Lingyue, the new city lord of Huangquan City and her entourage. The room assigned to Ye Lingyue and her party was very simple.
Not only that, earlier on, Ye Lingyue had expressed her desire to meet City Lord Luo through a maid.
The accompanying maid shot her a sidelong glance full of disdain and rudely said that the city lord was too busy to see her.
Furious, Ye Lingyue secretly commanded Little Evil Rabbit to place a curse of calamity on the maid for at least three days.
Di Shen, however, due to the Wuling City Lord’s influence, though not a city lord himself, received preferential treatment.
Di Shen’s room was at least twice the size of Ye Lingyue’s, luxuriously and comfortably furnished.
Yet Di Shen was not willing to stay there. Seizing the chance when Ye Lingyue was not paying attention, he moved both himself and his belongings into her room.
After the incident with the Whale People, Ye Lingyue was no longer angry with Di Shen.
But this did not mean she planned to acknowledge their relationship or sleep on the same bed with him.
"Who cares about that shabby place! My dear wife, Shui City is eerie, and I don’t feel at ease leaving you alone. I need to protect you day and night to prevent any night attacks."
After the incident with the Whale People’s attack on Ye Lingyue, Di Shen was not at ease letting her stay there alone.
Those Whale People had been eliminated, but in the main city, there were still many Water Clan’s traces and the loyal Merfolk King who followed City Lord Luo Qian.
Luo Qianche was clearly narrow-minded.
She might not know that the Whale People’s betrayal was Ye Lingyue’s doing, but she would definitely take it out on Ye Lingyue.
"You’re afraid of Luo Qianche’s night attack on you, right?"
Ye Lingyue said sourly. She had heard that as soon as Di Shen moved in, Luo Qianche’s maid had sent many Martial Arts manuals and precious Spiritual Artifacts to him, obviously pursuing him.
Di Shen accepted them all without refusal but handed them over to Ye Lingyue, claiming it was to support the construction of Huangquan City.
"I swear, my body and soul only accept night attacks from my dear wife." Di Shen said solemnly, taking advantage of the moment when Ye Lingyue was unprepared to leap up.
He then busied himself tidying up Ye Lingyue’s bedding and clothes, appearing quite obsequious.
Ye Lingyue rolled her eyes helplessly. However, Di Shen had already claimed externally to be her Dual Cultivation Partner, and living separately indeed would raise eyebrows, attracting longing from that lovesick Luo Qianche.
Di Shen was stingy; Ye Lingyue couldn’t be too generous either.
Why should her man be constantly pined for by another woman? It was time to make an ownership declaration.
But was it really okay for Di Shen to sleep with her for a while?
Ye Lingyue recalled most of the time that he lay as stiff as a rock, not daring to move.
She didn’t want to sleep with Di Shen just because he had promised not to force her before they officially married.
Yet, despite his words, Di Shen was still a man full of vigor, and Ye Lingyue didn’t want him to sleep poorly every night.
"Talking of serious matters, is there any news on the Demon Clan’s spy?"
Ye Lingyue couldn’t resist Di Shen and had to let him stay, at worst making him sleep on the floor at night.
Earlier when entering the City Lord’s Mansion, Ye Lingyue had secretly instructed Di Shen to have that letter from the Jade Bone Demon sent out.
Ye Lingyue also privately let Little Evil Rabbit scout around the City Lord’s Mansion. Little Evil Rabbit, being able to sense the presence of its kind, made a round but found nothing.
There were no traces of the Demon Clan in the City Lord’s Mansion.
"We still need to wait. Such letters require the fusion of demonic power by a Demon Clan member to be sent out. I’ve sent the letter in the city, but I don’t know if the Jade Bone Demon’s accomplices will appear."
Di Shen also believed there was no movement in the City Lord’s Mansion, which puzzled both Ye Lingyue and Di Shen.
Only two days remained until the City Lord Meeting, and most city lords had already arrived. The Demon Clan had yet to make any moves at this time, seeming too suspicious.
With doubts in mind, they temporarily resided in Shui City.
And within the following two days, the city lords of the Eight Newbie Cities, including the Gold City Lord, finally arrived.
On the day City Lord Yang arrived, Hong Mingyue realized that the person she was waiting for had not come, leaving her puzzled.
She avoided everyone’s attention and went to the City Lord’s Mansion garden, where there was an open creek leading out of the City Lord’s Mansion.
Due to the Water Clan’s Demigod Beast guarding the City Lord’s Mansion, Hong Mingyue had to use the waterway to contact the Shadow Concubine’s people.
"What are you doing here?"
Hong Mingyue was about to send a signal when a sudden voice interrupted her from behind.
Turning around, she saw City Lord Luo Qian standing behind her.
Her heart fluttered with panic, recalling that day in Luo Qianche’s room when Luo Qian showed her great attention. Could it be that he had spotted some flaw?
Nervous, Hong Mingyue sweated profusely in her palms.
"City Lord, this maid is here to pray for the Young City Lord’s speedy recovery."
As she spoke, she took out several exquisitely folded paper cranes.
These cranes were given to her by the Shadow Concubine earlier and looked no different from ordinary paper cranes.
"Hand them over for me to see." Luo Qian continued to scrutinize Hong Mingyue.
Hong Mingyue had no choice but to pass the cranes over with a hardened heart. As her fingers touched Luo Qian’s, she exclaimed and was pulled into his arms.
"City Lord?"
Hong Mingyue tried to break free but was held tightly by Luo Qian, who frivolously pinched her chin, his gaze trailing from her beautiful face to her ample bosom.
"Such a beauty, following Qianche must be a grievance for you. Why not become my twentieth concubine?"
As he spoke, his hand slipped into Hong Mingyue’s clothes.
Shocked and angry, Hong Mingyue struggled a few times, but then she remembered this was her best chance to get close to Luo Qian.
Her body was already tarnished; what difference did one more person make?
Rejection turned into compliance, and the garden was filled with amorous scenes.
Half an hour later, Luo Qian left the garden satisfied, unaware that something had quietly attached itself to him.
