Between the pavilion and the terrace, Ran Qingmo seemed to be chatting idly with Tian Ye, and their arrival suddenly brought a moment of silence to the courtyard.

Tianyan’s eyes narrowed slightly, alert and scrutinizing, as the hand hooked around his arm tightened slightly.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Xu Yuan didn’t really mind, his expression unchanged, without any tension or the like.

It’s natural for a person to be nervous the first time, the second time can be chalked up to inexperience, but if you’re still nervous the tenth time, then truly you should just go home and farm like a fool.

Over the past year, even Li Qingyan and Tian Ye have fought several bouts of sorcery in his presence, and now they are all coexisting peacefully, aren’t they?

Though their relationship isn’t very good, overall it remains harmonious.

Compared to before, he and they have grown tremendously, and after much crying and quarreling, accepting each other’s presence is the inevitable result, and now that everyone holds a significant status, bickering like children is rather unsophisticated.

So, Xu Yuan is not panicking at all now....

Walking along the plank road over the pond towards the pavilion, looking at Big Ice Lump’s clear and beautiful face, Xu Yuan smiled, preparing to speak, when Tian Ye’s flirtatious and enchanting voice came through:

"Feeling good?"

"...." Xu Yuan.

The deep scheming that governs the world allowed Xu Yuan to successfully maintain a stoic exterior, showing no expression.

Though he knew this enchantress Tian Ye could cause problems for him at any moment, this sudden question almost made him lose composure.

After a moment’s silence, as Xu Yuan prepared to find a topic to brush over this, he noticed Tian Ye’s equally brilliant golden eyes only lingered on his face for a moment before landing on the young girl beside him.

Oh no, this wasn’t aimed at him.

Tianyan’s small face suddenly became quite colorful, her red lips moved, as if wanting to respond, but at the last moment, she felt it was too obscene and vulgar, so she swallowed it back.

Mountains bearing snow, still water like jade.

In the silence, the young girl gradually began to pant, her fair side face slowly turning red, like a balloon.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan thought to himself that things weren’t looking good.

This enchantress Tian Ye is actually quite easy to deal with, as Le Ziren who thrives on chaos fears nothing more than boredom. If you can’t confront her head-on like Li Qingyan does, just ignore her taunts. Once she finds you boring, she’ll stop looking for trouble.

Like Big Ice Lump.

Big Ice Lump always ignores Tian Ye’s attacks and leaves a question mark for her each time.

Washboard Saintess’s posture only makes Tian Ye more enthusiastic.

Just as this thought flashed by, Tian Ye’s enticing golden eyes curved into crescent moons, her body leaning slightly forward, her hair draping over her collarbone and shoulders, resting her chin on her hand, smilingly:

"It seems it must have been intense, I’ve never seen Xu Yuan use the Black Death Mycelial Mat....."

Boom!

A brilliant beam of light suddenly shot out without warning, blasting open a snowy mist on the snow-covered stone path behind the pavilion.

Tian Ye watched the beam with a smiling expression, her body not moving an inch.

Because Xu Yuan had already grabbed Tianyan’s wrist, slightly diverting the beam that was aimed at Tian Ye’s mouth.

The sudden burst of energy inevitably caught the attention of the powerful figures within the Prime Minister’s Mansion, and almost instantly, three figures teleported onto the inner courtyard walls.

Xu Changge.

Feng Jiuxuan.

And Xu Yuan’s grandfather, Feng Yuanqin.

The other High-level Guest Ministers, lacking orders, couldn’t enter the inner courtyard but had already began mobilizing their cultivation techniques to ward off enemies.

Xu Changge and Feng Jiuxuan glanced at the scene on the pavilion, seemed accustomed, sighed helplessly, and shook their heads before leaving.

Feng Yuanqin, however, didn’t leave, plopping down on the courtyard wall with a grin, ready to enjoy watching the youngsters’ antics.

Knowing Tian Ye’s nature, Xu Yuan couldn’t let his grandfather hear what this unrestrained woman might say, he quickly gave a bow and said,

"Grandfather, I must trouble you to reassure the Guest Elders outside."

Hearing this, Feng Yuanqin felt a little hurt, finally getting a chance to speak with his grandson, only to be asked to leave before warming his seat.

"Alright, you handle it yourselves. I’ll just say you’re cultivating techniques, so they needn’t worry,"

Reluctantly standing up, Feng Yuanqin rubbed his head and kindly added,

"No matter the fight at the head of the bed, make up at the foot of the bed, don’t lose your harmony, I’m off."

"Don’t worry." Xu Yuan.

Seeing this, Tianyan silently lowered her head, her long hair falling, obscuring her expression, but she must have turned completely red, her voice quivering:

"...Let...go."

Seeing this, Xu Yuan released his grip.

Tian Ye suddenly interrupted, blinking with innocent eyes:

"Oh~~ So pleasurable there’s a lingering vibrato?"

Ran Qingmo: "..."

"Despicable!"

Tianyan suddenly raised her head, glaring at Tian Ye with a red face: "As a former Pavilion Master of Jiatiange, can’t you refrain from speaking like a marketplace strumpet?!"

The attack was weak, Tian Ye’s red lips curled into a smirk:

"What’s wrong with being a strumpet? I’m only wanton for him alone, unlike certain people who act like Saintesses in public, but seeing their true nature in private is laughable."

Ran Qingmo: "..."

Tianyan took a deep breath, her trembling form paused, biting her lip as she suddenly turned her gaze towards Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan: "..."

Why are you looking at me when she’s attacking you?

Tianyan’s eyes began to rim with red.

Xu Yuan: "....."

Okay.... it seems this attack does indeed involve him.

With a sigh, Xu Yuan said,

"Alright, Tian Ye, say no more."

Tian Ye licked her lips, ready to battle against the two, raising her chin slightly, revealing her exquisite collarbone, her fox-like eyes filled with provocation:

"What if I don’t agree... huuuh~"

Before she finished speaking, Xu Yuan directly activated the restriction planted within her, causing Tian Ye’s enchanting body to slip to the ground.

"Hmph."

Tianyan snorted softly, her golden eyes showing some pride and relief.

Xu Yuan was speechless.

Bemused both by this Washboard Saintess’s gullibility and by this dramatic enchantress on the ground, the activated restriction certainly wasn’t this potent.

Tian Ye lay on her side, clutching her chest, her slightly messy hair cascading down, her full bosom resting against the satin, forming a graceful curve.

When she moved her hand to support the ground, the V-neck of her robe opened slightly, revealing a soft cleavage.

Ran Qingmo: "...."

Tian Ye stood up gracefully, looking pitiful:

"Are you really this biased?"

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes, his gaze instinctively shifting below Tian Ye’s collarbone:

"That’s because you kept bullying her."

"..."

Tianyan also noticed the soft line deliberately exposed by this enchantress, snorted coldly, her face chilled, she walked directly in front of Tian Ye, reaching out to grab her collar, intending to close it.

In annoyance!

Seeing this, Tian Ye’s eyes shimmered with a smile, not dodging, with a cultivation above Saint, she easily moved her body slightly forward.

Then,

Tianyan felt her fingertips sinking into softness, in the softness she didn’t have.

Xu Yuan took a deep breath.

He knew, Tianyan was going to blow up.

Ran Qingmo: "....."
