From Princess in the Cold Palace to Empress in Heaven

At this time, the night was hazy, with a bright moon hanging in the sky and sparse stars.

There was an extremely accurate communication and positioning talisman between Xiao Minghuang and the two girls, Ye and Lin, so she knew the location of the two girls and rushed over without stopping.

Soon, she arrived outside a magnificent palace.

Standing at the door of the temple, one could feel a wave of burning heat coming towards one's face, as if the temperature around had increased several times, and even one's breath had a burning smell.

This is the place where Ye Ruoshui is in seclusion.

Xiao Minghuang stood outside the hall and saw a ball of blazing flames in the center of the hall, like a ball of hot and bright stars.

"I think Ruoshui will break through soon."

Xiao Minghuang took a few steps back and chuckled.

Afterwards, she came to Lin Wanqiu’s retreat hall.

Completely different from before, this hall exuded a strong sense of coldness, as if all things were withering and there was deathly silence.

"The moon is not death, but extinction."

Xiao Minghuang said in a low voice.

This was the record about the innate Taiyin body that she saw in an ancient book.

The Xiantian Taiyin has an extremely high status, but few people know what its specific power is.

Some say it is fiery, masculine, generative, etc., which are elements opposite to the sun.

Some people also say that it is the origin of birth, origin, and creation. After all, there is a widely circulated saying.

The lonely yang does not grow, the lonely yin does not grow.

Xiao Minghuang found a place not far from the two halls and waited quietly.

Time passes slowly.

A month passed, and one day when the night was over and the sky in the east began to turn pale.

A hot breath of fire suddenly erupted in the hall, and then Ye Ruoshui walked out from it.

Her dress fluttered, and there was still traces of firelight on her body and hair, lingering all over her body. Her skin, illuminated by the firelight, was white with a rosy glow, like a ripe cherry, delicate and tempting.

Swish!

Ye Ruoshui's figure flashed and instantly appeared in front of Xiao Minghuang.

"Congratulations, you have been promoted to the Yuantai realm."

A relieved smile appeared on Ye Ruoshui's face, and he reached out and hugged Ye Ruoshui.

Ye Ruoshui also hugged her back, his forehead against her cheek, his eyes curved like crescent moons, "Your Highness, thank you. If it weren't for Your Highness, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Xiao Minghuang smiled and said, "You are my Taoist partner. Between us, don't say thank you."

"Yeah." Ye Ruoshui nodded obediently.

She looked up and stared at Xiao Minghuang, with some guilt in her eyes.

"Your Highness, I embarrassed you. I didn't win the trial competition... Sister Lin voluntarily admitted defeat and let me advance, but I couldn't even beat that swordsman..." Ye Ruoshui muttered softly, like a child who had done something wrong.

Hearing this, a look of doubt appeared in Xiao Minghuang's eyes.

She had been practicing here and had no idea what happened in the trial.

Next, Ye Ruoshui told her about the trial competition.

"I was about to win the fight, but suddenly I felt like my soul was severely damaged, less than half of its usual strength, and then I lost to Jian Chen."

Ye Ruoshui said with great annoyance.

This was her first battle with evenly matched opponents since her debut, but she ended in failure. What a huge blow to her confidence!

After listening, Xiao Minghuang was silent for a moment, then gently stroked Ye Ruoshui's beautiful long hair, smiled and shook his head.

She knew why Ruoshui was frustrated, because this was a competition that she could have won, but ended in failure due to unexpected reasons.

Even if it were her, she would be extremely upset.

But if you lose, you lose, and you can only blame yourself for not being strong enough.

After all, when fighting against an enemy, it is a competition to see who has more means. Whether it is the means coming from the stage or outside the ring, they are all the enemy's ability.

Although many people scoff at this, it is a fact that cannot be changed.

But even so, Ye Ruoshui's strength is strong enough.

Based on Ye Ruoshui's description, Xiao Minghuang roughly knew that Jian Chen should be a disciple of a rare supreme sword cultivator in the Sword Tomb, otherwise it would be impossible for him to comprehend the great perfection of sword intent at such a young age and also master extremely exquisite supreme magical powers.

The fact that Ye Ruoshui was able to defeat Jian Chen in terms of hard power has already proved that she has the talent and strength to overwhelm her generation.

Although I didn't really win in the end, knowing exactly my own limits was already a great gain.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Minghuang gently stroked Ye Ruoshui's hair, with an expression of approval in his eyes, and said: "Ruoshui, you have done well enough. Jian Chen's hard power is not as good as yours. In theory, you should be the final winner."

"But you don't have to mind. You lost to her not because you are not strong enough, but because I am not strong enough to give you enough off-field support. Otherwise, the final winner of this trial would definitely be you!"

Xiao Minghuang spoke slowly.

Jian Mu is Jian Chen’s backer, so she is Ye Ruoshui’s backer.

In this competition, Ye Ruoshui didn't lose to Jian Chen, but she lost to Jian Mu!

Ye Ruoshui was stunned for a moment. She never expected that His Highness would think this way!

She went to His Highness to cry and complain, just wanting a hug and comfort, but instead she made His Highness feel guilty.

248. Two against one, how can they lose? [Please subscribe! ]

Ye Ruoshui's pretty face was stained with a hint of red, and anxiety appeared in her eyes. She quickly said, "Your Highness, that's not what I meant. I meant..."

However, Xiao Minghuang just smiled, and her smile was very gentle.

The more she explained, the more feeble and powerless it seemed.

"Silly girl." Xiao Minghuang couldn't help laughing. He stretched out his hand and scratched Ye Ruoshui's upturned nose, interrupting Ye Ruoshui's explanation. "Okay, silly girl, I don't care what you think. Anyway, don't worry, since you are my Taoist partner, then I will definitely become stronger, protect you from the wind and rain, and won't let you be bullied!"

Her tone was firm, her eyes were deep, shining with a strange light, and full of domineering!

After hearing these words, Ye Ruoshui felt sweet in her heart.

She nodded gently, her beautiful eyes twinkling and full of smiles, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Ruoshui believes that you can do it."

As she spoke, she clenched her fists and waved them vigorously.

That look is so cute.

Xiao Minghuang gently stroked Ye Ruoshui's shiny black hair, with a faint smile on his lips.

Next, Xiao Minghuang helped Ye Ruoshui check her body.

She was afraid that the hidden wound she had sustained in the previous competition had not completely dissipated and would endanger Ye Ruoshui's path of cultivation.

However, she probably underestimated the power of the innate fire, and the influence of that unknown force had long disappeared.

Xiao Minghuang felt relieved and handed the flawless crystal to Ye Ruoshui.

"Using this divine material, please help Ruoshui refine a long sword for me. It would be best if it can reach the top level of Earth Rank." Xiao Minghuang instructed.

In addition, there were some other spiritual materials, which were used as auxiliary materials for refining magic weapons, and they were all given to Ye Ruoshui.

After breaking through the Yuantai realm, Ye Ruoshui's weapon refining skills also improved greatly, and now he has no problem refining top-grade earth-level magic weapons.

She even wanted to try to refine a heavenly grade magic weapon.

But the materials available now are not enough to refine a heavenly grade magic weapon.

"Yes, no problem." Ye Ruoshui agreed, "I will start refining it now!"

"No hurry." Xiao Minghuang smiled, gently holding Ye Ruoshui's waist, closing the distance between them, and said softly: "We haven't seen each other for so long, don't you want to... huh?"

Xiao Minghuang stretched out his tone and spoke in an ambiguous tone.

Hearing this, Ye Ruoshui blushed instantly and said coquettishly: "No, Your Highness... um... there is no bed here..."

Her voice stopped abruptly as Xiao Minghuang blocked her lips.

At the same time, Xiao Minghuang's hands were not idle. With a slight wave, an exquisite small attic rose from the ground.

She picked up Ye Ruoshui by the waist and walked towards the small attic...

In the next few days, Ye Ruoshui accompanied Xiao Minghuang every day. The two were inseparable, just like newlyweds. They sang and enjoyed themselves day and night, and were happy and sweet.

...

During this period, Xiao Minghuang did nothing.

At least during the day, she and Ye Ruoshui still had to go out to search for some rare treasures to enrich their treasure house.

As for the night, they would naturally stay together and improve their cultivation madly.

During these days, the two of them have also improved their realm a lot.

Xiao Minghuang broke through from the first level of Yuantai Realm to the third level of Yuantai Realm.

Ye Ruoshui broke through to the second level of Yuantai realm.

As for the natural treasures found, they are too numerous to count.

During this period, I met Han Li several times, but we just said hello briefly and left in a hurry.

One day, the two were searching for rare treasures on a small island in the middle of a lake.

"Your Highness, why hasn't Sister Lin come out yet?"

Ye Ruoshui said intentionally or unintentionally.

Xiao Minghuang plucked a green lotus and put it into the storage bag. She turned around, glanced at the absent-minded Ye Ruoshui, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "Breaking through the Yuantai realm is not easy, so it's normal to spend more time. What's wrong? Ruoshui doesn't want to be alone with me?"

After saying this, she suddenly smiled, with a hint of teasing in her eyes.

"No way, Your Highness, what nonsense are you talking about?" Ye Ruoshui quickly shook her head, her cheeks slightly red, and lowered her head.

How could she not want to be alone with His Highness?

It was really because during these days, I was so passionate about it day and night at the beginning that I really couldn't stop.

But after a long time, perhaps because they became tired of ordinary farming, they began to use their imagination and developed more novel and unique sowing methods.

Whenever night falls, Ye Ruoshui will use all kinds of strange methods, ever-changing, to make Ye Ruoshui feel so comfortable that she can't stop at all...

Later, he would even seal her cultivation when she wasn't paying attention, and the two of them would be like mortals, restoring a more realistic collision of soul and flesh.

Gradually, she began to resist this method, thinking it was too tiring.

It's not that she had not refused before, but every time he begged her with sweet words, she seemed to have lost her mind and finally agreed.

"Hahaha...."

Seeing Ye Ruoshui's shy expression, Xiao Minghuang immediately giggled, her chest trembling, which was very seductive.

Ye Ruoshui raised her head, glared at Xiao Minghuang, and snorted, "Your Highness, you are bullying me, I will ignore you!"

Having said that, Ye Ruoshui turned around and ran.

"Haha, you want to escape? No way."

Xiao Minghuang chased after her with a sweet smile, grabbed her arm, and easily pulled her into her arms.

"Your Highness, stop making trouble!" Ye Ruoshui struggled for a few times, but found it was useless.

"Good~"

But in just a moment, her collar was grabbed and she was held in Xiao Minghuang's arms.

It seems that in broad daylight...

However, at this moment.

Suddenly, a wave of cold and lonely aura came from the distance.

Xiao Minghuang paused, and Ye Ruoshui took advantage of this opportunity to escape from her arms.

At the same time, they looked into the distance.

"Your Highness, it's Sister Lin!"
