From Princess in the Cold Palace to Empress in Heaven

"me..."

Xu Xiuer's pretty face turned slightly red, and she opened her mouth several times but couldn't say anything.

When Xiao Minghuang saw her like this, he couldn't help but smile and looked at her expectantly.

"Your Highness, can you...can you promise me something?"

After a long time, Xu Xiuer finally mustered up the courage, raised her head and looked at Xiao Minghuang, and said hopefully.

"Oh? Whatever it is, just tell me, I will definitely agree!" Xiao Minghuang nodded, a smile appeared in his eyes, thinking, this girl has been holding it in for so long, is she finally going to confess?

"Then...did I say it?" Xu Xiuer asked, blinking her big watery eyes.

"Well, go ahead!" Xiao Minghuang said with a smile.

"me..."

Xu Xiu'er stuttered, her pretty face flushed, her lowered eyes flashing with shyness and panic, her heart was beating so hard that it seemed like it was about to burst out of her throat.

"Pfft!"

Xiao Minghuang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Haha, Xiu'er, are you trying to tell me that there is an important event in your life that you want me to agree to?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

Xu Xiuer bit her lip and nodded rapidly.

"If you don't explain clearly, I won't know what it is!"

Xiao Minghuang asked back, pretending to be confused.

"I...I like...Your Highness."

Finally, Xu Xiuer seemed to have given up. She said with her eyes closed, her pretty face flushed like a blooming flower.

After waiting for a long time, Xiao Minghuang finally heard these words. Without saying anything else, he stretched out his arms and embraced her in his arms.

"Xiu Er..."

"Your Highness!"

The moment she was hugged, Xu Xiuer cried out, her body instantly stiffened, her whole body became hot, and she felt like her blood was about to boil.

Xu Xiuer's heart was pounding, filled with surprise and excitement.

She is very happy!

Because she finally said what she wanted to say.

397. Invitation

She had hidden this feeling for a very long time, so long that she didn't know when it started.

Perhaps it was the night when His Highness first came to Wu'an Palace during the Xia Kingdom.

Or maybe, just a few short days in the princess's mansion.

Or maybe, she was practicing alone in the Holy Temple for countless days and nights.

In short, she had fallen in love with her a long time ago, and a very long time ago.

However, she never dared to express it because she knew her identity was just an ordinary person.

But Xiao Minghuang is the daughter of a genius who is unparalleled in the world and extremely beautiful. How could she be worthy of the other party?

So this secret love can only be buried deep in my heart, hoping that time will pass and it will be forgotten.

However, later on, she came to the Holy Academy, and under the guidance of Pavilion Master Baiwen, she realized her own talents and opened up a brand new path. She was finally able to shed her mediocrity and became qualified to pursue Xiao Minghuang.

Until they met again in the Holy Temple, her dusty memories were uncovered, and this longing turned into love again, turning into heat and burning like a flame.

Xiao Minghuang held Xu Xiuer's hand, interlaced their fingers, and looked at her tenderly.

"Xiu Er..."

Xu Xiu'er's pretty face turned red, her beautiful eyes were wide open, staring at Xiao Minghuang without blinking.

After a moment, Xiao Minghuang suddenly lowered his head and kissed Xu Xiuer's soft and tender red lips. The two moist thin lips pressed tightly together, rolling and lingering.

"Hey~~"

After the kiss, both of them had a faint blush on their cheeks. Xu Xiu'er leaned on Xiao Minghuang's chest, her heart filled with deep happiness.

"I like you, you don't need to ask me for anything, this is what you deserve."

Xiao Minghuang hugged Xu Xiuer's slender waist tightly and whispered in a very doting tone.

"Mmmmm, thank you, Your Highness!"

Xu Xiu'er responded sweetly, snuggling in Xiao Minghuang's arms, with a look of enjoyment and comfort on her face.

After a long time.

Xu Xiuer pushed Xiao Minghuang and said, "Your Highness, we should go now."

"Ah."

Xiao Minghuang held her hand and walked to the exit light gate, then let go of her hand.

Xu Xiuer looked puzzled: "Your Highness?"

"You go first. I still have some things to do and will be out soon."

Xiao Minghuang chuckled and rubbed her little head.

Xu Xiuer hesitated for a moment, then nodded, turned and walked into the light gate.

With Xu Xiuer's departure, the world returned to complete peace.

Xiao Minghuang was the only one left here.

Suddenly.

Xiao Minghuang turned his gaze and looked at the void not far away, and said calmly: "Senior, you have been watching for so long, it's time to come out and chat!"

As these words came out, the void trembled and a space ripple spread out.

"Haha, I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

A clear voice was heard in the vortex of the void, and then a beautiful figure walked out and appeared in front of Xiao Minghuang.

The woman was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, her skin was as white as ice and jade, and her facial features were exquisite and beautiful. She was the Xiantian Laurel who had allowed her to take the lead in the Time Tower just now.

At this moment, he was staring at Xiao Minghuang with interest, as if he was curious about something.

"This little girl is not simple!" Xiantian Yuegui whispered softly, her eyes shining, and she teased, "You are obviously a woman, but you are really good at coaxing women. Tell me, how many Taoist companions do you have now?"

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang's face was filled with helplessness. He was about to open his mouth to explain himself, but was interrupted by Xiantian Yuegui.

"Oh my, this is incredible!" Without waiting for Xiao Minghuang to answer, she counted on her fingers, pretending to count: "In the Time Tower, the first one I saw was one."

"Just now you were here, being affectionate with someone, and that's one more. That makes two now."

"And the twin sisters with the Heavenly Desire Holy Body from just now, there are two more of them."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, there are four girls in total, each of them is extremely beautiful, stunningly beautiful, the little girl is really lucky!"

Xiantian Yuegui shook his head and sighed.

Xiao Minghuang's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked like he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Senior, you are joking!"

Suddenly, Xiantian Yuegui's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, and appeared in front of her the next moment. Their eyes met, and their faces were only a fist away from each other.

The two sides were so close that Xiao Minghuang could even feel the slight warmth and coolness coming from the other person's body, as well as a faint scent of laurel.

"Come to think of it, I'm really curious." Xiantian Yuegui's beautiful face was filled with doubt. She looked at her face carefully, frowned, and said, "Although you have a good appearance, why do so many outstanding girls like you?"

"Cough cough!"

Xiao Minghuang coughed lightly, took a step back, distanced himself from Xiantian Yuegui, and said with a cupped hand, "Senior, if you have nothing else to say, I will take my leave."

After saying that, Xiao Minghuang turned around and ran away.

She didn't want to continue talking about this topic, otherwise who knows what else this chatty old woman would say.

"Hey, little girl, why are you so afraid of me? Am I going to eat you?"

Xiantian Yuegui was stunned for a moment, then shouted, quickly caught up and appeared in front of her.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore!"

She waved her hand and said with a smile, "Actually, I came here to tell you that an old friend of mine invited me to visit him. I wanted to ask if you are interested in going with him?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang was stunned.

An old friend of Xiantian Yuegui?

What era were those ancient people from?

"It's a long story, but I heard from the messenger that people now call her 'Penglai Supreme'. What do you think? For my sake, come with me, and I'll make sure she gives you a gift when we get there!"

Xiantian Yuegui patted her chest and smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, my old friend is very capable, and what she can show off must be good!"

"Penglai Supreme?"

Xiao Minghuang suddenly cried out in surprise.

"You've heard of it?"

Xiantian Yuegui looked at Xiao Minghuang in surprise, then suddenly realized and said, "Oh, that's right. After so many eras, if she hadn't died, she would have become famous."

"The senior's friend should be the ruler of Penglai Island, one of the three immortal mountains in the overseas, one of the forbidden areas of life. He is the Penglai Supreme, also known as the Penglai Immortal."

Xiao Minghuang said slowly.

"Oh no! I guess I have to give her a good beating!"

Hearing this, Xiantian Yuegui's expression changed slightly and he muttered to himself.

"Since you know her, why don't you come with me? You will definitely get some benefits. You know my character!"

Xiantian Yuegui assured with full confidence.

Faced with Xiantian Yuegui's cordial invitation, Xiao Minghuang thought for a moment and shook his head.

398. Kunpeng's remains

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior. However, I have something important to do and need to go home. I cannot go out to sea with you."

Xiao Minghuang bowed slightly and apologized.

"Is that so? Well then, I'll go by myself and bring you some local specialties next time we meet."

Xiantian Yuegui waved her hand.

"Thank you in advance, Senior!"

Xiao Minghuang cupped his hands.

Hearing this, Xiantian Yuegui frowned and said, "Don't keep calling me senior, senior. You're making me look old. My old friend called me Ah Yue, so you should call me that too!"

"Okay, Senior A Yue." Xiao Minghuang readily followed suit.

"Remove the word 'senior' at the end." Xiantian Yuegui emphasized again.

"Yeah, A-Yue!"

Xiao Minghuang smiled.

"That's great. Now I'm also a young man in my twenties! Hehehe!"

Xiantian Yuegui laughed heartily, revealing her white teeth, and her smile was very bright.

Then, a vortex of void appeared behind her. She tapped her toes lightly, and her figure floated into the vortex and gradually disappeared.

Looking at the disappearing Xiantian Yuegui, Xiao Minghuang couldn't help but complain in her heart, "This old woman has lived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, and she's still pretending to be a little girl."

However, although this old woman was pretentious, she was actually quite nice to her.

The value of that piece of branch of the Taiyin Laurel Fairy Tree is equivalent to a rare treasure in the heavens. If she uses the system to give it back as a gift, it will probably greatly enhance her strength.

"Don't worry, wait until the system maintenance is over and see if there will be new features unlocked."
