I gazed at the mist seeping from the celestial sphere, its hue a deep Crimson Gold. Just as my fingertip brushed against the icy lotus flower adornment, I was startled back half a step by the sudden explosion of a communication talisman from the corridor.
The spirit crane transformed into a Star Seed had yet to fully dissipate when I heard a dull thud from the courtyard, as if a heavy object had fallen.
"Has the lady dropped another teacup?" Two Immortal Attendants hurried past the corridor, carrying glass lanterns. Their voices, like shattered jade, were swept away by the night breeze and drifted through the window lattice. "Ever since Immortal Princess Wang Xuan's tail feathers appeared in this world, the Lord of the Xuan Realm has been guarding the Meteor Pool every night..."
Suddenly, my brocade slippers, which crunched on the scattered starlight, came to an abrupt halt. I snatched up the half-full pot of Mind-Focusing Dew from the table and turned to push open the intricately carved door adorned with Yue Po Pearls.
In the northwestern corner, the Zi Wei Star flickered behind the clouds, just like the figure of Xuan Ang hanging beneath the eaves—his majestic crane cloak was tainted with the unique scent of decaying grass from the Meteor Pool, and as he pushed open the door, ice crystals in his hair shattered and fell.
"The spirit spring water is getting cold." I scooped a spoonful of luminescent liquid, and when my Jade Bowl clinked against the jade table, it produced a crisp sound.
As he raised his hand to receive it, I deliberately let the scalding mist envelop his frozen fingers.
Xuan Ang's Adam's apple bobbed twice before he slammed the teacup down onto the star chart. "Wang Xuan's charm technique has indeed improved? Even the miasma of the Meteor Pool can be condensed into a projection pearl." His fingertip traced over the water stains left on the bowl's rim, where a silhouette of a woman holding a Crimson Gold Tailfeather began to emerge.
I tightened my grip on his shoulder with my fingertip, suddenly exerting force; dark red blood threads burst forth from the icy lotus flower adornment. As the burning pain of the twin curse climbed through my meridians, I noticed dragon claw scars appearing on his shoulder blade that resembled those on Feng Yao.
"Does Xuanjie's heaven-mending technique rely on your partner's Essence Blood for nourishment?" I pulled apart his lapels soaked in cold dew and pressed my fingertip against an old scar shaped like reverse scales.
Before my palm could gather spiritual energy, he unexpectedly seized my wrist and pressed it against the icy jade screen.
The star map swirling in Xuan Ang's pupils suddenly became chaotic. "Do you think altering star paths with dream-weaving techniques will allow you to pry into the secrets of the Meteor Pool?" His breath, tinged with decay, brushed against my neck. "When my mother betrothed you to me, she mentioned that daughters of Linghuan Fairy Realm excel at using Tender Affection as soul-binding nails?"
As I broke free from his restraint, our entangled hair was reflected in the icy jade screen.
From where his inner garment had slipped down, dragon scales spiraled along his back, seeping with a Golden Gleam that matched Wang Xuan's Tail Feather—a sign that the twin curse was about to backlash.
"Since you believe I have ulterior motives—" I bit my fingertip and pressed it against his heart. The icy lotus flower adornment suddenly blossomed with a talisman drawn in dragon blood. "Why not add an Immortal Heir to inherit Xuanjie's heaven-mending technique right now?"
The grip he had on my wrist suddenly loosened by three parts.
As his lips brushed over my brow adorned with flowers while carrying the chill of the Meteor Pool, a burst of Blood Light suddenly erupted from outside beneath the Zi Wei Star.
"You want an immortal grandchild?" He hooked his fingertip around my waist where strings adorned with Yue Po Pearls hung loosely. The ice crystals formed into bed curtains that suddenly fell. "Then bring back the Reflection Mirror guarded by Linghuan Fairy Realm as betrothal gifts."
As I flipped over and pinned him onto the brocade mattress, thunder suddenly roared from the direction of Meteor Pool.
The dragon scales rising along Xuan Ang's back grazed against my calf, leaving fine trails of blood on my skin.
He grasped my waist, and the Palm of the Celestial Array lit up, but it clashed with the Dreamweaving Spirit Power from the Ice Lotus Flower, causing the celestial instrument on the bedside to hum loudly.
"Endure it," he said, biting his tongue to transfer his Essence Blood into my Glabella. The scar of the reverse scale suddenly spread into a chain shape. "Wait until we get the Light-Reversing Mirror..."
I pressed my knee against his bleeding old wound, and in that moment when Xuan Ang winced in pain and loosened his grip, I used my toes to hook the brocade blanket and kicked him off the Cold Jade Couch.
The scattered Yue Po Pearls crashed against the screen, startling the Night Watch Fairy, who knocked over an entire pot of spiritual spring water.
"The Immortal Lord might as well go to the Meteor Pool and sleep with the Transmission Pearl," I said, pulling the blood-stained ice silk curtain around myself. I caught a glimpse of the Crimson Radiance passing by outside, vanishing into the clouds—clearly a trace of Wang Xuan's Tail Feather's unique teleportation technique.
As Xuan Ang picked up his crane cloak and walked toward the soft couch, the shard of the Light-Reversing Mirror hidden in my sleeve was growing slightly warm.
The reflection in the mirror did not show the current chaos around us but instead depicted Feng Yao at Linghuan Xian Pavilion, stabbing her phoenix tail steps into the star map.
The Ice Lotus Flower also appeared between her brows, resonating with the Zi Wei Star of the Lord of the Xuan Realm at this moment.
When the first ray of morning light pierced through the clouds, whispers from the Immortal Attendant cleaning up the aftermath drifted in through the window: "I heard that the new bride from Linghuan Fairy Realm has been pestering the Immortal Sovereign this morning for..."
