Good heavens, the ancestor has gone to confess his love again!

"Did you wake Xiaomeng'er?" Xu Pingsheng looked completely innocent.

"Luo Li, you know I've always been a hard worker, I'm never lazy..."

"you--"

That one short sentence instantly shattered Meng Luoli's composure.

Her ears turned bright red, she was so ashamed she wanted to disappear. She buried her face in the soft pillow, not daring to look at him again.

lecher!

I admit, my snoring was a bit too loud back then.

But as the one who started this, how can you say such things about a girl...?

They had no choice in the matter.

Seeing the once aloof and ethereal fairy now so shy, Xu Pingsheng chuckled inwardly and continued:

"Just kidding, honey!"

"I am a virtuous gentleman who has studied the Spring and Autumn Annals; how could I be the kind of person who acts recklessly?"

"Don't worry, tonight I just want to hold you while I sleep."

The words "the mother of my child" were like a feather gently brushing against her heart, causing Meng Luoli to tremble slightly and her heart to ripple.

She looked at him with a mixture of belief and doubt, her eyes filled with hesitation:

"real?"

"More real than pearls! I promise, I will never do anything strange to my wife!" Xu Pingsheng raised his hand and swore.

Strange?

Meng Luoli's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of innocent curiosity flashing through her heart.

Was it all just routine that night?

However, seeing Xu Pingsheng's sincere and open expression, and considering the sleeping Meng'er, Meng Luoli finally relented, gently nodding and compromising:

"All right……"

"It was supposed to be just a hug..."

"Of course!" Xu Pingsheng said righteously, his tone firm and resolute. "A man's word is his bond! If I were to break my promise, I would be a beast, a dog!"

Just the next second.

Meng Luoli's lips twitched slightly.

In the pitch-black, quiet night, a soft, coquettish sigh, tinged with both shyness and annoyance, rang out:

"You...you've touched the wrong place!"

Xu Pingsheng paused, feigning confusion, and asked in a low voice, "Huh? Then where should I touch?"

"You're not allowed to touch anywhere!"

Meng Luoli was both angry and ashamed, her whole body was burning up, and she wished she could bury herself completely in the quilt and hide away.

"Okay." Xu Pingsheng obediently responded, instantly becoming well-behaved.

But this period of calm lasted only two breaths.

"You...you again—"

"I'm sorry, my wife, it's so dark at night, I can't see anything."

"..." Meng Luoli was completely speechless.

Sure enough, my older sister was right.

A man only behaves when he's hung on the wall.

After a moment of silence, there was no further movement from their side, and the quiet night was filled only with the soft breathing of the two of them.

Why...why did he stop?

A strange emptiness and loss welled up in Meng Luoli's heart, along with a touch of indescribable awkwardness and discomfort.

Could it be that my resistance just now made the other party back down?

She frowned and pondered to herself.

He has done so much for the Jiang family, for the Guanghan Immortal Palace, and for the three sisters. Shouldn't I have refused him...?

What if he gets angry?

after all.

No matter what, he is still Xiaomeng'er's biological father!

Moreover, he has shed his aged appearance and is now handsome, gentle, and exceptionally charming, a thousand times more attractive than the frail old man he once was…

If I really want that, I won't be at a disadvantage...

Just as Meng Luoli was lost in thought and her mind was in turmoil, she suddenly heard a noise beside her.

Her cheeks flushed instantly, her whole body tensed, and she asked in a barely audible whisper:

"Why...why are you taking off your pajamas again?"

"Oh, I usually sleep naked!"

Xu Pingsheng's answer was frank and natural, without any concealment, and so confident that no one could refute it.

Meng Luoli's delicate body trembled.

This……

That seems quite reasonable!

next second.

His warm breath drew nearer again, and Xu Pingsheng's deep, gentle voice whispered in my ear, tinged with a hint of tenderness and probing:

"My lady, is it alright?"

Meng Luoli froze instantly.

What can it be?

You'd better explain yourself clearly!

How could a young woman like her answer such an ambiguous question?

"If you don't answer, I'll take that as a yes, my wife~~"

"Hmm~~" Meng Luoli's eyelashes twitched suddenly, her beautiful eyes widened, and she let out an alluring moan.

"Hehe, my wife, keep your voice down. You don't want to wake Xiaomeng'er up, do you?"

"Didn't you just say that breaking a promise makes you an animal, a dog?"

"Woof woof woof~~ Woof woof woof~~"

Meng Luoli: "@#*@()￥#()#@￥#￥@"

The long night lingered, the wind and moon were gentle, and the room was filled with enchanting beauty.

Five million words are omitted here.

...............

The next day.

Xu Pingsheng slowly opened his sleepy eyes and subconsciously turned to embrace the soft warmth beside him, but his fingertips touched only a cold and empty bed.

He suddenly opened his eyes, all sleepiness gone, and froze on the spot as if struck by lightning, his eyes filled with blankness and astonishment.

The empty space beside her meant that Meng Luoli and Xiao Meng'er were no longer there.

Xu Pingsheng's cheeks flushed slightly, and he let out a wail in his heart, completely panicking.

Finished!

It's completely over.

His lifelong reputation is now completely ruined!

Whether out of dissatisfaction or shyness, Meng Luoli took Xiao Meng'er and ran off early in the morning!

He hadn't expected that using the "Forever Higher" experience card would have such severe side effects, draining his mind and energy. Last night, he suffered a complete defeat and then fell into a deep sleep from extreme exhaustion.

In short.

Last night's events can ultimately be succinctly summarized by a timeless line of poetry—

He finished his business and left, leaving only the woman's sighs.

that……

That's not his fighting ability!

Xu Pingsheng was filled with resentment. He quickly composed himself, got up, and was about to get out of bed to find Meng Luoli, explain things clearly, and then have a proper "exchange".

But as soon as he raised his eyes and stood up, he saw a graceful and slender figure standing at the palace gate.

Meng Anran stood with her hands behind her back in the morning light, her eyebrows and eyes smiling, as if she had been waiting for a long time, her eyes full of knowing mischievousness.

Their eyes met, and Meng Anran's lips curled slightly as she spoke softly, her tone tinged with a playful probing:

"Did you win?"

How could I possibly back down in my life?

He immediately straightened his back, patted his chest, and looked confident and in control, saying in a low voice, "It's all under control, easy and comfortable."

After feigning composure and finishing his act, he seemed to suddenly remember something important. The smile in his eyes faded slightly, and he reached out and took out an ancient, thick, yellowed book from his storage ring.

The book's intricate patterns and ethereal aura, faintly imbued with the vast and ancient atmosphere of time, clearly indicate that it is no ordinary object.

He raised his hand and handed the book to Meng Anran, saying solemnly:

"This is a top-tier Immortal Emperor-level cultivation technique with an extremely high threshold for cultivation. Ordinary immortals simply cannot even begin to learn it. It is likely that at least the Quasi-Emperor realm is required to comprehend and cultivate it. From now on, you and Luo Li can switch to cultivating this technique."

"What?! A Celestial Emperor-level cultivation technique?"

Meng Anran's pupils suddenly contracted sharply, and she froze instantly. The playful smile on her face vanished, replaced by extreme shock and disbelief.

The title "Immortal Emperor" is so distant and ethereal.
