Yun Shijiu wore a face of frustration, feeling deceived. She had used Dragon Qi as bait, and of course Zhao Yue would want to take a look. However, she never expected Zhao Yue to be killed by Yue Qi.
Among the five of us, there was no dragon clan member. She had deliberately revealed the existence of Dragon Qi in front of the Emperor, likely hoping that he would agree to bring back another dragon clan member with her. At that moment, I was so tempted by Dragon Qi that I inadvertently revealed my own tail, claiming to be from the dragon clan.
Yun Zhi Yue sympathized, saying, "Once you revealed your tail, she truly believed you were from the dragon clan. With such strong talent, you were no less than Zhao Yue, so she brought you back. But once your true nature was exposed, she realized she had been fooled and became furious."
Yun Shijiu murmured, "To have a dragon clan member, it must be a prodigy; otherwise, there’s no need to compete in the grand tournament. She did it for—"
The siblings spoke in unison: "To seize the body!"
Yun Zhi Yue's expression darkened. "This definitely involves something significant. That Fu You may not even be Fu You; it could be that the body has been occupied by a dragon from the Imperial Realm. But that individual desires a dragon's body."
The abnormality of Fu You went unnoticed by the Emperors, indicating that this Imperial Realm is anything but ordinary. We need to be cautious and first investigate what this Fu Xiu Emperor means.
The siblings got up and carefully surveyed their surroundings as they began their exploration. The bamboo forest was lush and serene, resembling a secluded retreat. They chose a random direction and proceeded.
Since they were already within the Dao domain of the Imperial Realm, their fate was no longer in their hands.
Before long, they spotted a small courtyard made of bamboo, fully equipped with worldly necessities. In the courtyard, bamboo shoots were laid out to dry.
The creaking bamboo door swung open as an exceptionally handsome couple emerged from the room. Even dressed in the simplest coarse cloth garments, their outstanding appearances could not be concealed. The woman was gentle and graceful, while the man exuded an air of tranquility—a perfect pair hidden among mountains and waters.
As they walked a few steps, they held each other’s hands affectionately; it was clear they were a loving couple.
Yun Zhi Yue and Yun Shijiu did not hide but stood openly watching. This was the Dao domain of the Imperial Realm; naturally, someone wanted them to see this.
The woman fiddled with the drying bamboo shoots and looked up at the man making a stool out of bamboo. "Xiu Ge," she said, "didn’t you say that friends would come to visit us soon? Should we go down the mountain to buy some meat?"
The man teased her back, "Qing Qing, Long Chang is the Heavenly Emperor; don’t think of him as just some beast that eats meat—he can make do with some tea."
The gentle woman retorted playfully, "Then my body is still bamboo! It’s cruel to chop it down right before my eyes every day!"
Fu Xiu glanced at the half-ruined bamboo in his hands and awkwardly replied, "This is just common bamboo; if you want, I can plant it back?"
"Ha ha ha! I was joking; why did you take it seriously?" Qing Qing leaped onto the man holding the bamboo and wrapped her legs around his waist as they playfully frolicked in the courtyard.
Yun Zhi Yue and Yun Shijiu exchanged shocked glances!
The man was indeed Fu Xiu Emperor! And Qing Qing's body was made of bamboo? This scene had something to do with the Heavenly Emperor? Oh my god, could she possibly be—
The siblings synchronized again: "Yue Qi Mu!"
Yun Shijiu grinned and said, "Sister, it’s obvious these two are a couple. How did they end up with the Heavenly Emperor?"
Yun Zhi Yue, equally astonished, replied, "I don’t know. Let’s keep watching."
At night, the woman's pained moans filled the bamboo forest with a chilling aura. The siblings shamelessly climbed through the window to peek at the couple on the bed inside.
It wasn’t anything scandalous; rather, Qing Qing was in distress, and Fu Xiu Emperor was using his own cultivation to suppress Qing Qing's shattered soul.
