The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

Keke only looked away after Xu Zihuang disappeared from the room again using his ability to vanish through the void, her red lips pouting with a resentful look.

"That jerk..."

Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Orange was still gazing at the night sky from the windowsill. Her long hair was piled high, and her fair skin was translucent, as if it would drip water if you gently squeezed it.

Thinking of Keke, she couldn't help but sigh softly. She knew it would be extremely dangerous to involve Keke in this matter, but she had no other choice. In this world, the only people she could completely trust were Keke and Yu Tianhuang.

Just then, a tall figure suddenly appeared behind Orange and then naturally and gently embraced her.

Feeling the warm, smooth touch of her skin against hers, Ju Zi was immediately startled. No one in the Sun Moon Empire had ever dared to do this to her. Even Xu Tianran, due to his physical disability, maintained a fixed distance from her with extreme sensitivity.

When she turned around and saw the face she had longed for day and night, all the emotions in her beautiful eyes were completely replaced by tender affection.

"Tianhuang..."

Soon, her heart was captivated by Xu Zihuang's tenderness. Lost in their emotions, her magnificent palace dress became covered in wrinkles from their movements.

Besides his affection for the orange, Xu Zihuang also did this out of revenge against Xu Tianran. Because in his perception, Xu Tianran was in the study not far from here.

After a long while, Ju Zi, whose brows were full of captivating charm, felt a wave of fear again, worried that Xu Tianran would find out, which would be detrimental to Yu Tianhuang.

However, before she could say anything, Xu Zihuang spoke first with a solemn expression.

“Ju Zi, I’ve heard about your plan from Ke Ke. I also have something to tell you. Yu Tianhuang is just an alias I used while studying at Shrek Academy. My real identity is Xu Zihuang, the only son of the Purple Emperor King of the Sun Moon Empire.”

As he spoke, Xu Zihuang's tone became increasingly deliberate, emphasizing each word. Ju Zi's pupils dilated instantly, but her affection for Xu Zihuang remained undiminished. In fact, after learning of this, her resolve strengthened, and her expression softened further.

The son of the imperial hero he admired in his childhood, and the lover he had chosen in his heart, these two identities overlapped.

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Palace Study.

Xu Tianran, whose arm had been severed by Xu Zihuang's Golden Dragon Spear, looked like a frail old man. The significant loss of his life force had turned his hair white and made him appear listless and aged.

An elderly imperial physician walked in from outside and knelt respectfully before Xu Tianran.

For some reason, Xu Tianran felt somewhat irritable. Seeing the imperial physician routinely checking on Ju Zi's health reminded him of his own physical disability. A shadow of gloom flashed in his eyes as he coldly addressed the physician.

"After searching for so long, is there still no confirmed time?"

The imperial physician prostrated himself on the ground in fear, deliberately lowering his voice as he respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, the Empress's optimal time to conceive is three days from now. I am confirming this just in case."

Hearing this, Xu Tianran's eyes darkened even more, but thinking that he would still need this imperial physician in the future, he did not retaliate.

"You may leave now. Do not disturb the Empress today. Let her rest early."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I take my leave." The imperial physician stood up with a sigh of relief, completely unaware of Xu Tianran's sensitive spot, and then stopped to speak obsequiously.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that Her Majesty the Empress is in good health. At that time, I am at least 90 percent confident that I can help Her Majesty conceive successfully."

Seeing Xu Tianran remain silent, the imperial physician dared not say another word, and obediently withdrew from the study with his head bowed. Unbeknownst to him, however, was the murderous intent flashing in Xu Tianran's eyes. Of course, from beginning to end, he had never intended for anyone involved in this matter to survive.

Xu Tianran's only remaining left hand was clenched tightly, and his face was extremely ferocious.

What he didn't know was that his empress had already revealed her flawless, white body to Xu Zihuang without reservation.

Chapter 494 My Favorite Episode

In the luxuriously decorated rooms of the Sun Moon Empire's palace, exquisite crystal chandeliers emitted a soft, warm glow, adding an air of ambiguity and allure.

Ju Zi leaned against the edge of the soft bed, her delicate arms barely supporting her tingling body. Crystalline tears slid down her cheeks, scattering a hazy glow. Her eyes were filled with happiness.

"Should I call you Zihuang from now on...?"

"I'm sorry for keeping this from you all this time." Xu Zihuang bowed slightly, gently stroking Ju Zi's cheek, his expression apologetic.

A captivating smile spread across Orange's pretty face as she gently shook her head.

“Zihuang, my determination to do this has nothing to do with your identity. No matter who you are, I will do it. Because you are the only man who has entered my heart. I am just a little surprised that you are His Highness Zihuang’s only son. And with that, everything I do is even more meaningful. I will help you take back everything and make you the most honored person on the continent.”

Xu Zihuang gently took Ju Zi's hand and whispered, "From now on, you are no longer alone. I will always be your support."

"Hmm..." Ju Zi nodded slightly, took Xu Zihuang's hand and placed it on her chest, her eyes burning with a passion that seemed to melt Xu Zihuang.

At that moment, she was driven by an overwhelming impulse, a desperate desire to follow her heart. Years of suppressed emotions were finally released.

"Don't worry, leave the rest to me." Xu Zihuang smiled gently.

"Let's present this gift to him as my royal brother planned."

With her alluring red lips pursed, Ju Zi seemed to be bewitched, her last shred of reason completely destroyed, and she couldn't help but move closer to Xu Zihuang's face.

Their feelings for each other intertwined, though they also harbored a desire for revenge against Xu Tianran. Xu Zihuang and Ju Zi both shared this sentiment at this moment.

Xu Zihuang then took Ju Zi's other hand, their fingers intertwined. He gently laid Ju Zi flat on the large bed in the center of the room, their bodies subtly overlapping. The interplay of light and shadow created a scene brimming with springtime charm.

……

Sitting in his study, Xu Tianran's eyelids suddenly twitched, and he became increasingly agitated.

"Phew—" He let out a long sigh and pushed his wheelchair to the windowsill. But looking at the sky full of stars, his inner turmoil remained unsettled for a long time.

"Someone come here!"

"Your Majesty." A man in black appeared out of nowhere and knelt before Xu Tianran.

With his back to the man in black, Xu Tianran frowned and asked in a deep voice, "How is the situation with the Empress?"

Having narrowly escaped death from an assassination attempt by his own brother, Xu Tianran has been extremely cautious all these years. Even with Ju Zi, he cannot fully trust her. His decision to have Ju Zi stay in the room to recuperate during this time is also a way of monitoring her.

"Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Empress has already retired for the night," the man in black replied respectfully.

After a moment's hesitation, Xu Tianran gave the order in a cold voice.

"You go down first."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xu Tianran raised his head again, looked at the bright night sky, and his expression turned ferocious once more.

He had a beautiful empress by his side, yet he was powerless to do anything. He was even coerced by his ministers to maintain the stability of his rule by having a child through artificial insemination. Any man would find this humiliation unbearable, but he was utterly helpless.

Being an emperor must have been incredibly frustrating.

After a long while, Xu Tianran finally regained his usual composure and returned to his palace.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

The silver moon shifted from west to east, and the night deepened.

By the silvery moonlight streaming through the window, two figures pressed tightly together could be clearly seen. Ju Zi was wrapped around Xu Zihuang's waist from behind, her face showing a hint of weariness, but her complexion was rosy.

To avoid arousing Xu Tianran's suspicion, Xu Zihuang had just nourished Ju Zi's body with the rich life force contained within the Life Gold. Ju Zi's physical condition was almost identical to before, and she moved freely. Only her brows now showed a noticeable increase in elegance.

However, having pretended for so many years by Xu Tianran's side, it wouldn't be difficult for Ju Zi to cover up these things.

Xu Zihuang turned around and lowered his head to touch Ju Zi's lips.

"Give it to me."

With a slightly flushed face, Ju Zi took a white blanket from the large bed and handed it to Xu Zihuang. In the center of the blanket were tiny red dots, like cherry blossoms.

Xu Zihuang put the blanket into his storage soul tool and then instructed Ju Zi, "I will find an opportunity to come over in the next few days. Just act as usual and leave the rest to me."

"Ah."

Orange nestled her head affectionately on Xu Zihuang's shoulder. She had absolute trust in Xu Zihuang, and she had just learned about the Golden Eye Martial Soul True Body's innate abilities from him. Since Xu Zihuang could freely enter and leave the palace, avoiding the perception of all Soul Masters and Soul Tools, she had nothing to worry about.

"Zihuang, you should send Keke back. This matter is too dangerous; we can't let her get involved any further."

Then, remembering that Keke was still in Mingdu, Ju Zi couldn't help but open her red lips.

"Her home is in Huanglong City, in the south of the Sun Moon Empire."

"Huanglong City?" Xu Zihuang was taken aback at first, but quickly recovered and smiled at Ju Zi, "Actually, that was my original plan. Senior Ke Ke is a very nice person."

"Then you should have realized it by now, right? Keke likes you." Ju Zi chuckled. After taking that step with Xu Zihuang, her mindset had also changed somewhat.

“I don’t mind, Zihuang. I’ve never selfishly thought of having you all to myself. If you think Keke is nice, you can try accepting her.”

"Let's talk about it later." Xu Zihuang immediately felt ashamed. He knew that what Ju Zi said was her truest thought. But he only had a good impression of Ke Ke; it was far from being that kind of relationship.

Xu Zihuang tidied the hair around Ju Zi's ears and temples again, and nodded in acknowledgment.

"I go first."

"Mm." Ju Zi nodded with a smile, but as Xu Zihuang's figure disappeared from sight, the smile on her beautiful face vanished in an instant.

She walked step by step to the dressing table, and once again put on the fake smile she used to give Xu Tianran. Only after adjusting herself to the point where it was completely undetectable did she return to the edge of the bed and sit down to rest.

On the other side, Xu Zihuang had just returned to the living room of the three-story attic when he saw Keke sitting on the sofa, resting her chin on her wrist in boredom.

Upon seeing Xu Zihuang, Keke immediately stood up and complained, "Why did you take so long? I was so worried! Did you see Sister Orange?"

"I saw her, and she said she wanted me to take you home," Xu Zihuang replied frankly, sitting down next to Keke and noticing the living room that Keke had cleaned.

Keke wrinkled her nose and sniffed, smelling the familiar scent on Xu Zihuang. She then widened her eyes and stared at Xu Zihuang, her eyes burning with a fierce gossip-loving fire.

"You didn't sneak into the palace at night and stay in Sister Orange's room the whole time, did you? Did you give her the seed?"

Xu Zihuang glanced at Keke with a subtle expression.

"I guess you could say that was given to me."

Seeing that Keke was about to continue asking questions, Xu Zihuang had no choice but to get up and speak first.

"Alright, you don't need to get involved in these things anymore. I'll take you home first."

"Okay, okay." Keke pouted, feeling wronged, but she knew that Ju Zi and Yu Tianhuang were concerned for her safety. As a commoner with no background, although she had completed her studies at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and become a Soul Master with decent strength through her own talent and hard work, it was still too dangerous for her to get involved in such matters.

However, she was still sharp-tongued, muttering under her breath.

"Hmph, what a heartless guy. He kicked me aside the moment he saw I was no longer useful. You're definitely a scumbag."

Ignoring Keke's complaints, Xu Zihuang once again used the Void Manifestation ability of his Golden Eye Martial Soul True Body to bring Keke to Huanglong City in the south of the Sun Moon Empire. Without lingering, he returned to the pavilion in the western part of Mingdu to meditate and cultivate.

For the next three days, he went to the Sun Moon Empire's palace every night to see Ju Zi. This wasn't just to discuss their future plans, but more importantly, to help Xu Tianran fulfill his 'wish'.

Xu Zihuang, through the Heart of the Ocean and Tang San's divine power, cultivated the Body Sect's Flawless Golden Body to its peak. Although his spiritual power also reached the god-level, allowing him to perfectly control his physical strength and avoid harming Ju Zi, the god-level body meant his life level was different from ordinary people, making it relatively difficult for him to leave offspring.

There are no shortcuts in this kind of thing; you can only try again and again.

On the third night, Xu Tianran's original plan to have a child through artificial insemination was put into practice.

Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Empire.
