Starting with being handed over to the Imperial Concubine, building a family with a thousand-year hi

Li Qingge didn't even look at Wang An on the ground; her sharp phoenix eyes were fixed on Su Mu.

The "Pure Yang Sacred Body" charm buff provided by the system is now taking effect.

For some reason, a hint of longing appeared in Li Qingge's originally proud phoenix eyes.

"You're Su Mu, the only son of the Su family?"

Li Qingge parted her lips slightly, her voice clear and crisp like jade beads falling onto a plate.

Su Mu remained neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed slightly.

"This humble subject, Su Mu, greets Your Highness, the Eldest Princess."

"very good."

A playful smile curved Li Qingge's lips as she pointed lightly at Su Mu with her folding fan, exuding an air of domineering arrogance.

"I will send someone to speak to Consort Xiao. From this moment on, this person is mine!"

"Guards, take him back to my Weiyang Palace! Wash him clean; I want him to serve me!"

Su Mu: ? ? ?

Wang An: !!!

Holy crap?

The script is wrong!

What happened to going to serve my cousin, the Imperial Concubine?

Why is the princess causing trouble with those long legs?!

Weiyang Palace was extremely luxurious.

Su Mu was escorted by two strong palace maids through many corridors and finally pushed into a bedroom filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.

"Get inside! Stay put, or I'll break your legs!"

The palace maid gave a stern warning before closing the heavy palace doors.

Su Mu rubbed his wrist, which was sore from being gripped, and looked around.

The bedchamber was ridiculously large, with warm jade flooring and silk gauze curtains hanging around it. In the very center was a rosewood phoenix couch large enough to sleep five or six people.

"This start is a bit too exciting."

Su Mu had no idea what had gotten into the princess. He was clearly dressed in eunuch's clothes, and she had even brought him her bedchamber.

Surely the eldest princess wouldn't be into that kind of thing, would she?

However, given the system's nature, this might not necessarily be a bad thing.

Princess Li Qingge holds a higher position and is more powerful than Consort Xiao. If we could win her over…

[Ding! Host detected in the palace of S-class target "Princess Li Qingge".]

[New player quest released: Conquer the Princess!]

[Mission Rewards: Lifespan +5 years, Internal Energy +30 years, Heaven-Rank Cultivation Technique "Nine Yang Divine Skill"!]

[Punishment for failure: Death from having one's yang energy drained by the eldest princess.]

Looking at the tasks on the system panel, Su Mu's lips twitched.

Absorbing Yang energy?

It seems this princess who stole my thunder was definitely up to no good!

but……

Heavenly-rank cultivation technique! Thirty years of internal energy!

If one were to cultivate step by step, even a genius would need decades to do so.

Now, all we need to do is defeat this female demon to get it?

Just then, the sound of water came from behind the palace.

A moment later, the screen was pushed open.

Li Qingge, wearing only a thin red veil and barefoot, slowly walked out.

Her long, wet hair cascaded loosely over her shoulders, water droplets sliding down her slender neck and disappearing into the deep, barely visible cleavage. Her long, straight, jade-like legs were faintly visible beneath the red veil, utterly captivating.

But her face was unusually pale, a thick black aura gathered between her brows, and her body was trembling slightly, as if she was enduring great pain.

"Su Mu".

Li Qingge walked to the phoenix bed and sat down. Her voice was somewhat weak, but it still carried the majesty of a superior.

"Do you know why I want to dismiss you?"

Su Mu's gaze was open, yet not entirely open; he cupped his hands in greeting.

"I am unaware, Your Highness, please enlighten me."

"Hmph, still playing dumb."

Li Qingge chuckled and suddenly appeared in front of Su Mu in a flash.

A delicate, boneless hand gripped Su Mu's chin.

The two were so close that Su Mu could even smell the fresh scent of her shower gel.

"That vile Consort Xiao wants to borrow your seed to have a child in order to seize the throne. Does she really think I'm blind?"

"The Su family has some nerve, daring to get involved in the succession struggle!"

Su Mu was currently using the system's "Eye of Insight" to scan the beauty before him.

Name: Li Qingge

[Identity: Grand Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, Head of the Observatory]

Cultivation Level: Ninth Level of Acquired Realm (Half-Step Innate Realm)

[Status: Urgently needs the Yang energy to harmonize the cold toxins within the body, and faces pressure from the Northern Barbarians for a marriage alliance; urgently needs to bear an heir to silence public criticism.]

[Affection Level: 10 (Lust at first sight)]

Su Mu's heart pounded, but a wry smile appeared on his face.

"Your Highness, please understand. I knew nothing about this. I only came to the palace to earn more money."

"Completely unaware," indeed.

Li Qingge released her grip, her fingertips sliding down Su Mu's cheek to his chest, her eyes becoming somewhat unfocused.

"However, your appearance is indeed exceptional. I have seen countless people, but I have never seen a man with such pure and abundant yang energy as you."

She paused, her tone turning sinister.

"I have suffered a qi deviation while cultivating the 'Mysterious Ice Technique,' and the cold poison within my body has erupted, causing me unbearable pain every full moon. Only the primordial yang of a virile and masculine man can suppress the cold poison."

"I was worried about where to find a suitable medicinal ingredient, but I never expected that the fool Consort Xiao would actually deliver you to my lips."

Su Mu understood.

So I've been used as a human tonic!

Holy crap!

Judging from this, it's highly likely that they'll use it to silence witnesses.

My goodness! You never expected this, did you!

Fortunately, I have some points to add to your son's stats, otherwise this man-made disaster would have been unavoidable.

"Your Highness."

Su Mu suddenly spoke.

"Since Your Highness is suffering from cold poison and needs yang energy to suppress it, I am willing to help Your Highness."

Li Qingge was taken aback, clearly not expecting Su Mu to be so cooperative.

An ordinary man would be terrified and wet himself upon hearing such words.

"Aren't you afraid of dying?"

Li Qingge glanced at him sideways.

"To die beneath the peony blossoms, even as a ghost, is a romantic endeavor."

Su Mu stepped forward, boldly looking directly into Li Qingge's eyes.

"Moreover, Your Highness is so beautiful that being able to become a medicinal ingredient for Your Highness is a blessing that Su Mu has accumulated over many lifetimes. However... I have a request."

Li Qingge felt a pang of panic under his intense gaze, and the suppressed cold poison within her body surged even more violently due to the emotional fluctuations.

"Wha...what request?"

Su Mu reached out and boldly embraced Li Qingge's slender waist.

It feels cool to the touch, and is soft and fragrant.

Su Mu leaned close to Li Qingge's ear, his deep voice, enhanced by the system's allure, directly striking at Li Qingge's defenses.

"If I am fortunate enough to escape death, Your Highness, could you grant me a favor? It may be anything. After all, Your Highness's cold poison cannot be cured in one go. If you can keep me alive, Your Highness may use me to suppress it again..."

Li Qingge froze.

No one has ever dared to speak to her like that before!

No man has ever dared to touch her waist!

Normally, she would have chopped that lecher into mincemeat with a single blow.

But now, the heat emanating from Su Mu's pure Yang holy body is like the warm sun in winter, making her body, which is suffering terribly from the cold poison, instinctively yearn to get closer.

That longing overwhelmed the anger.

"You...how dare you..."
