Royal Palace, Guu Qingcheng’s Chambers:
Candlelight flickered, illuminating Guu Qingcheng’s breathtaking beauty.
However, her brows were slightly furrowed, a hint of worry clouding her features.
In front of her, a silk-woven piece of paper was unfurled.
On it, written in elegant script, was a na: Li Chen!
Guu Qingcheng gazed at her masterpiece, lost in thought.
Li Chen, what kind of monster are you?
As Guu Qingcheng’s thoughts spiraled, suddenly she heard a "creak," and the night wind blew open the tightly sealed window.
The candle extinguished.
In an instant, the entire world plunged into endless darkness.
Whoosh!
A silhouette floated in like a ghost.
Guu Qingcheng was startled, drawing her sword with one hand and urgently asked, "Who?"
"No need to search, I’m behind you!"
At that mont, a haunting voice ca unexpectedly from behind her.
Guu Qingcheng was shocked, instinctively turned around, and imdiately widened her eyes in astonishnt.
"Li, Li, Li Chen?"
Indeed, the figure that had ghosted in was none other than Li Chen!
Li Chen’s lips curled into a wicked smile.
"Seventh Princess, didn’t expect us to et again so soon, did you?"
Guu Qingcheng showed signs of tension, asked cautiously, "Li Chen, why are you here?"
Li Chen didn’t directly answer Guu Qingcheng, but flashed a mischievous smile.
"When a guest arrives, surely the Royal Princess knows a thing or two about hospitality?"
Guu Qingcheng was montarily stunned, then replied with a charming smile, "Oh, what kind of hospitality do you wish for?"
Li Chen pointed to the exquisite tea set on the table and said, "At the very least, make so tea, wouldn’t you?"
"Fine!"
Guu Qingcheng agreed readily, and personally brewed tea for Li Chen.
Though she was a Royal Princess, with her noble stature, her tea-making skills and techniques were evidently proficient.
"You’re the first man to have personally make tea for him!"
Guu Qingcheng handed the fragrant cup to Li Chen, smiling brightly.
Li Chen took the cup, took a gentle sip, savoring it.
"Seems I should feel deeply honored, shouldn’t I?"
Guu Qingcheng chuckled, then steered the conversation back on track.
"Now can you tell the reason for your late-night visit to my chamber?"
Li Chen raised his eyebrows, casually said, "Nothing major, just wanted to discuss matters regarding Beichen Emperor Cave!"
Hearing the na Beichen Emperor Cave, Guu Qingcheng’s expression imdiately beca grave, holding her breath, worried she might miss a single word.
After listening to Li Chen’s narration, Guu Qingcheng pondered for a mont, asked the crucial question.
"There are a total of seven fragnts of the turtle shell from Beichen Emperor Cave. It takes all seven pieces to open the entrance to the cave. Yet we have only two pieces, it seems quite impossible to open it?"
Li Chen had anticipated this question from Guu Qingcheng, he didn’t directly answer but nonchalantly sipped the fragrant tea.
Once he had thoroughly piqued Guu Qingcheng’s curiosity, he nonchalantly posed a question.
"What if I told you I’ve already sorted out six fragnts and only need the one from the Royal Guu Family, would you believe ?"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Guu Qingcheng’s expression was shocked.
"Is what you’re saying true?"
Li Chen smiled serenely, casually asked, "Do you think I ca over in the middle of the night just to play with you?"
Guu Qingcheng was initially stunned, then teasingly smiled.
"Will you be leaving tonight?"
At this point, it was Li Chen’s turn to be shocked.
He never expected Guu Qingcheng to be so forthright.
Her simple yet direct counter-question left him montarily speechless.
Seeing Li Chen at a loss, Guu Qingcheng smiled joyfully.
"I’m not a man-eating Demon Beast, you don’t have to look at like that, do you?"
Li Chen saw Guu Qingcheng becoming more bold and pressing forward, suddenly smiled wickedly.
"You’re not a man-eating Demon Beast, but I indeed consu people, particularly beautiful princesses like you!"
Not waiting for Guu Qingcheng to reply, Li Chen stood up and swiftly lifted her by the waist.
Initially, Guu Qingcheng just wanted to toy with Li Chen, but she hadn’t expected Li Chen to be serious, imdiately looking distressed.
Li Chen didn’t give Guu Qingcheng the opportunity to break free, he casually flicked a glowing ring around her, making her unable to move.
As Li Chen opened the bead curtain in front of the bed, the jewels clashed with a jingling sound.
Guu Qingcheng was extrely familiar with this sound.
Because she heard it every night before she went to sleep.
But today was different!
She was directly carried onto the fragrant couch by a man.
Once Guu Qingcheng was gently placed on the bed, Li Chen didn’t act like a lust-driven playboy doing scandalous things.
Instead, like appreciating a perfect artwork, he carefully admired Guu Qingcheng.
Without a doubt, Guu Qingcheng’s face, figure, and skin were all exquisite, akin to a flawless jade, not to be sullied.
At this mont, Guu Qingcheng, bound in body, lay pitifully looking at Li Chen.
Though she had never experienced such things, what would happen next was easily imaginable.
Li Chen leaned down, lightly bit Guu Qingcheng’s earlobe.
"What, are you scared now?"
At this mont, Guu Qingcheng was extrely tense, with pale forehead beaded with sweat.
Li Chen smiled, kissed lightly on her delicate cheek.
Guu Qingcheng’s eyes widened, but when Li Chen kissed her, she shut them tightly due to excessive nervousness.
However, she waited for a long ti, yet Li Chen didn’t take any further action.
Even the sound completely disappeared, not a hint of movent.
Filled with surprise, Guu Qingcheng slowly opened her eyes.
The room was empty; Li Chen was nowhere in sight.
Only the tea on the table stead, dreamlike.
Before Guu Qingcheng could respond, Li Chen’s ethereal voice suddenly appeared.
"I have urgent matters, won’t stay with you tonight, will co back another day for tea. Also, don’t forget what I’ve just said!"
It was not Li Chen speaking in person but his Sound Transmission Technique.
By now, he had already left the Royal Palace, vanished into the expansive night.
Hearing Li Chen’s words, a mysterious disappointnt erged in Guu Qingcheng’s heart.
If Li Chen intended to use force, she would certainly have been taken by him tonight.
But he simply left?
Is it because she lacked the allure to captivate him?
Discovering herself able to move, Guu Qingcheng reached out a fair hand, conjuring a copper mirror.
Looking at her reflection, her eyebrows involuntarily furrowed again.
Her face, figure, even the proud peaks beneath her white neck were flawless.
Yet Li Chen left without doing a thing?
This left Guu Qingcheng sowhat downhearted.
Nonetheless, if Li Chen really defiled her tonight.
With her nature, she’d likely resent him eternally.
By doing so, Li Chen would ruin her chastity.
But if he does nothing, she would feel deeply disappointed, even suspecting her own lack of charm failing to attract him.
In summary, she is a complex of contradictions!
