Chapter 540: Li Chen is truly not soft-hearted in this regard! (Seeking

~4 min read 747 words

From the secret realm, Ruoyu is very curious about everything around her—those strange treasures and beasts, the architecture of major cities, and even some delicious food.

Especially after getting on the rail train, the speed makes her feel incredible.

When she learns from Li Chen that this isn't some heaven-and-earth treasure, but a means of transportation that ordinary people can afford, she sighs even more at the magic of it.

When the train stops at the Imperial Capital, Ruoyu begins to doubt for the first time; she doesn't feel Li Chen is lying to her, because the two have communicated too much recently, and she trusts Li Chen very much, always feeling she should remember something.

If she can't remember anything and always troubles Li Chen, how bad that would be.

Her onion-white fingers twist the corner of her clothes unconsciously, her gaze scanning the street scene outside the window in a daze.

Thinking for a moment, Ruoyu whispers: "Strange, this place is clearly where I should come often; how..."

Li Chen keenly notices her abnormality, and his thick, large hand immediately covers her slightly cold fingertips: "Is my beloved consort tired? After returning to the palace, I will personally massage your shoulders."

His low, magnetic voice carries a reassuring power.

Ruoyu immediately throws her doubts to the nine heavens and leans obediently on Li Chen's shoulder.

That's right, the place where His Majesty is, is home; why think about these things?

Before the main gate of the Imperial Palace, Chu Ruoyan and Wu Nanzhi are already waiting in grand attire.

Seeing Ruoyu arrive, the two Imperial Consorts immediately greet her, one holding a freshly baked cream cake, the other holding iced milk tea.

Chu Ruoyan affectionately takes Ruoyu's arm: "Sister has finally returned! This is your favorite tiramisu; I specially asked the Imperial Kitchen to add double the cream."

Wu Nanzhi thoughtfully tidies Ruoyu's silver hair blown messy by the wind: "Sister's sleeping palace has always been cleaned by someone, and those Western Region carpets have all been replaced with the styles you like."

The reason why these two are here is because Li Chen sent a message on his mobile phone in advance, asking them to cooperate.

These two have followed Li Chen for a long time, so they naturally know what Li Chen likes and will certainly cooperate.

Ruoyu is somewhat confused by this enthusiasm, but the moment she tastes the cake, her eyes light up immediately.

The dense cream melts on the tip of her tongue, and the sweet but not greasy taste makes her squint her eyes happily; this is indeed the taste she likes!

It can also be said that women seem to like this taste.

The palace maids lead the way in a well-trained manner, and people constantly bow and greet along the way: "Welcome back to the palace, Consort Ruoyu!"

Every detail is perfect and impeccable, as if she really had lived here for many years.

Night falls, and Ruoyu lies in a hot spring pool sprinkled with rose petals, letting the palace maids massage her.

Through the steaming mist, she looks at the familiar patterns on the dome of the palace, and the last trace of doubt dissipates.

This is her home, without a doubt.

And at this time, Li Chen is counting the gains from this secret realm.

Millennium Ganoderma, Profound Ice Jade Marrow, Grand Void Divine Iron... these treasures that would make any cultivator crazy are piled up casually in the Treasure Pavilion.

His slender fingers tap on the table, and the corners of his mouth hook into a playful smile.

He doesn't need these things, but the consorts can use them; however, they can't be given for free; it depends on their performance.

Soon, Li Chen has this news spread to the harem; first come, first served.

The first to come is Li Meng; this Miao Border Saintess is very good at playing the flute.

Today, she specially changed into a transparent gauze ru-skirt, and the jade flute turns a beautiful arc in her fingertips.

That flute sound is like a clear spring tinkling at first, turning and low, like a girl whispering, and like the night wind brushing through the bamboo forest, carrying a bit of ethereal and misty charm.

Li Chen is very satisfied and lets her choose the reward she wants first.

Facing so many heaven-and-earth treasures, Li Meng is dazzled.

Next to appear is the exotic Alisha. ===== CHAPTER 541 =====
