Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

Xuan Ge did not touch Xia Die's hand; it was merely a simple palm-to-palm contact.

Although his reputation had already thoroughly stunk up, the bearing that ought to be maintained still had to be maintained.

Xia Die's power did indeed produce a slight effect on him.

The fruit fragrance on his hand was killed off by that deathly aura.

But that was as far as it went.

To penetrate even half an inch deeper, Xia Die would at minimum need to reach the Absolute Extinction Monarch level, and would also have to break through the karmic defense.

Xuan Ge raised his eyes and looked toward Xia Die.

"Em... Emperor?"

Seeing him look over, Xia Die's first reaction was not to pull her hand back, but to instinctively lower her head.

Xuan Ge did not respond; he was thinking about serious matters.

Xia Die's death curse had an unexpected benefit.

There probably wouldn't be problems like smelly feet.

Any living thing that touched her would die, so her feet were constantly in an absolutely sterile environment.

Even if she sweated profusely, there would be no strange odor whatsoever.

In its place was a pure, purely her own sweat fragrance and body scent.

If Xia Die were to use her feet to tread wine.....

The more Xuan Ge thought, the more crooked his thoughts became.

Xia Die's side wasn't faring much better either.

The Emperor holding her hand was probably testing her power.

But this duration was really a bit too long....

She lowered her eyelashes, for the first time looking at a man's hand from such a close distance.

Five distinct fingers, slender and strong, nails trimmed clean and neat.

So this is the feeling of holding hands with someone.... so warm.

Sai Fei'er'er sat to the side with arms crossed, watching these two go from palm-to-palm contact to loosely intertwined fingers.

If she didn't speak up, the bath was going to turn into a matchmaking scene.

She swished her cat tail and deliberately teased Xia Die.

"Xia Die, your ears are red."

"Ah... ah!" Xia Die was startled by that exclamation and retreated half a step.

But her hand did not let go.

Her whole body froze in place; retreating wasn't right, staying wasn't right.

The red at her ear roots burned all the way from her earlobes to her cheeks.

"Sorry, I was just thinking about something." Xuan Ge smiled and released her hand.

He had already followed the tread-wine train of thought all the way to Journey to the West.

He nearly veered off toward the Great Lily Flower, luckily the cat-cat interrupted in time.

"It's fine, Emperor."

Xia Die withdrew her hand, lightly folding the hand that had been held over her other hand.

A happy smile surfaced at the corner of her mouth.

It had been a very long time since she had smiled like this.

A Ge Lai Ya did not say a single word from start to finish, merely observing quietly.

Understanding a person is not hard.

Understanding an Emperor is hard.

Information gathered so far: good temper, good at communication, can joke with ministers.

But none of that is important.

What's important is — the Emperor likes beautiful things.

Counting from the moment the deity descended to the mortal realm, the number of times the Emperor's gaze lingered on her was the highest.

Although later Sai Fei'er'er came, and Xing and Xia Die also successively drew near.

But tallying the total count, she still led by a wide margin.

So the conclusion was very clear.

The Emperor likes big ones.

Next are those with a bit of special extra features, like Sai Fei'er'er's cat tail and cat ears.

Xing doesn't show off her figure.

But as a Golden Weaver Lady, I can see through it at a glance — that girl's scale is in no way inferior to mine.

Xuan Ge watched Xia Die redden from ear roots to face, and proactively spoke up to diffuse the situation.

"Go on, if there's anything let Dan Heng handle it."

"Okay... Emperor." Xia Die was about to leave, then suddenly remembered she had forgotten to salute, and hurriedly made one up.

Then she left with noticeably quickened steps.

She only stopped when she reached the water curtain, looking down at her own hand.

She clenched it lightly.

His body temperature still lingered in her palm.

And this feeling made her heart race, still not calmed down even now.

Sai Fei'er'er sensed Xia Die walking away, her cat tail swaying, laughing as she teased.

"How old is the Snail Princess anyway, acting like a little girl?"

Those who understand, understand.

Xia Die had zero resistance to this kind of straight ball.

Xuan Ge looked at Sai Fei'er'er, pointing a finger at her.

"Aren't you afraid curiosity will kill the cat?"

He naturally knew what the cat was scheming, but there was no helping it; after all, identity, status, strength — all were laid out right there.

"Hehe~" Sai Fei'er'er chuckled knowingly, moving closer to A Ge Lai Ya.

She knew Xuan Huang wasn't afraid of Xia Die's curse at all, which was why she deliberately pushed the person over to make a connection.

If Xuan Huang was willing, if Xia Die was moved.

If they actually got together, wouldn't Weng Fa Luo Si's future be completely settled?

Xuan Ge didn't pursue this cat's little schemes; he still had someone to go see.

"You all stay here, I'm going out for a trip."

The words barely fell before he had vanished from the spot.

A Ge Lai Ya fell silent for a long while, finally turning her head to look at Sai Fei'er'er.

She was angry.

"What are you doing, Tailoress? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

Sai Fei'er'er ignored the look A Ge Lai Ya threw at her.

"Do you know how dangerous this is?"

A Ge Lai Ya wasn't blaming Sai Fei'er'er for setting Xia Die up; it was the touch.

Xia Die definitely couldn't hurt Xuan Ge; rather, this action itself was unacceptable.

The proper process is to explain Xia Die's situation first, then let Xuan Huang judge — that's the right way.

Not guiding Xuan Huang, not making him guess.

"Tailoress, are you getting old? Can't you still see Emperor's personality?"

A Ge Lai Ya wanted to say she naturally could see it.

An Emperor who likes the big ones.

But in the end, she didn't say those words.

"From that strict black-gold Dragon Robe to the current purple eggplant short sleeves — this is already a transformation of identity."

A Ge Lai Ya raised her eyes to look at Sai Fei'er'er.

Put that way — it's also right.

"Walking out from that strict Monarch system. Emperor looks like someone who can get along with subordinates just fine."

A Ge Lai Ya nodded.

That General Shen Ce, in terms of identity and status, is a subject under Xuan Huang.

But from the way the two interact, they're clearly brothers.

Flipping each other off, kicking each other's butts, casually snatching tokens.

Even more pure than Wan Di and Bai E's kind.

Just iron-clad brothers who grew up playing together.

An Emperor who lets a general treat him like that absolutely cannot be a stingy, ungrateful person.

——

Outside the Sui Yue Shen Dian world.

Chang Yue sensed the visitor's aura and immediately went to meet them.

"Emperor, didn't expect you'd come find me first."

Xuan Ge didn't waste words, reaching out to pinch her chin and lowering his head to kiss her.

"Mmph—"

Chang Yue didn't dodge, didn't hold back.

She closed her eyes, hanging her entire body's weight on this kiss.

Red jellyfish silently bloomed in the air behind her, tentacles trembling slightly.

She had waited too long for this kiss.

And not just the kiss.

Right now she just wanted to do it with Xuan Ge here until the end of time.

Xuan Ge proactively released her lips, lowering his head to look at Chang Yue's eyes shimmering with pink moisture.

Can't let this group of women in the harem hold it in too long.

Otherwise sooner or later someone will develop into a yandere like Fei Xiao's level.

"Emperor, the time flow here and the outside world have a very large gap."

Chang Yue stood on tiptoe, looping her arms around Xuan Ge's neck, leaning to his ear to whisper.

"We can do this for a thousand years... or even ten thousand years~"

"Alright. When this life ends, I'll forge my own path in the next."

Xuan Ge agreed readily and decisively.

He wanted to see if Chang Ye could endure a thousand years.

"Hehe~~ Then it's agreed. If I can persist, we'll stay here from now on."

Chang Ye smiled sweetly, looked up, and pressed a feather-light kiss to the corner of his mouth.
