Chapter 760
The Imperial Palace gradually stabilised, and Tan Miaotong displayed extraordinary managerial skills in the process. She quickly established the Imperial Palace. Xiang Chunan assisted Tan Miaotong, and the Imperial Palace gradually took root in Xia Mountain. The mines previously under the Seven Emperors Sect were also slowly reopened for extraction.
The Wu clan did not need the resources left behind by the Seven Emperors Sect, as the Wu clan had already left them with sufficient resources. Therefore, Tan Miaotong used all these resources to win over the cultivators.
These cultivators, who had been oppressed by the Seven Emperors Sect, were deeply grateful to Tan Miaotong. Ye Chu and the others looked down on these resources, but to these cultivators, they were all holy items.
Through Tan Miaotong’s various methods of winning them over, these cultivators became completely devoted to the Imperial Palace.
Ye Chu truly acted as a passive boss. Watching Tan Miaotong run the Imperial Palace so properly, he could not help but laugh and say, “Miaotong is truly from a holy land. Children from large families are well travelled and knowledgeable, and you have a whole set of skills for managing the Imperial Palace!”
Teased by Ye Chu, Tan Miaotong’s exquisitely beautiful face, as tender and white as congealed jade, bore an intoxicating blush. Those clear, water-like eyes held a shy expression, beautiful enough to intoxicate the heart.
Unable to help himself, he stepped forward and wrapped his arm around Tan Miaotong’s slender waist. The warm, soft, and supple feel made Ye Chu tighten his grip involuntarily.
“What are you trying to do?” Seeing Ye Chu staring at her intently, Tan Miaotong blinked those soul stirring eyes, looking somewhat innocent and utterly endearing.
“I want to…” Ye Chu blinked, his gaze falling on Tan Miaotong’s plump, dewy, and tender lips. He leaned down and captured those tempting, moist lips.
Tan Miaotong wrapped her arms around Ye Chu, holding him somewhat tightly. After her defences were breached, her entire body went soft as if melting. Her delicate body nestled against Ye Chu, and her warm breath, carrying a sweet fragrance, enveloped him. At this moment, he felt himself becoming completely infatuated.
His hand grew somewhat restless, moving down from Tan Miaotong’s waist, slipping through her clothes and moving further downwards.
Tan Miaotong reached out and grabbed Ye Chu’s hand, forcefully pulling it away. Breaking the kiss, she looked straight into Ye Chu’s eyes, her gaze clear and serious. “What exactly are you trying to do?”
Feeling slightly unnerved by Tan Miaotong’s gaze, Ye Chu shook his head and said, “It was just an accident!”
Tan Miaotong stared fixedly at Ye Chu for a long time, making him unable to help but lower his head. He really did not dare to meet those clear, refreshing eyes.
“Hehe…” Seeing Ye Chu lower his head, Tan Miaotong leaned in and gave him a light kiss on the cheek. “No bad ideas. We cannot do this right now!”
“Then when can we?” The words slipped out of Ye Chu’s mouth. As soon as he said it, he wished he could slap himself hard. Did not that single sentence just expose his true intentions?
Sure enough, Tan Miaotong widened those beautiful eyes, her exquisitely beautiful face turning completely red.
“Just joking, just joking!” Ye Chu waved his hands repeatedly. “I absolutely do not have any impure thoughts!”
Tan Miaotong had always been obedient and beautiful, but Ye Chu knew this woman had an extremely strong-willed nature. As long as dissatisfaction showed on her face, it meant she was truly angry. Ye Chu felt a bit bitter, wondering how he could get through this hurdle.
Just as Ye Chu was getting a headache, he saw Tan Miaotong’s entire face turn crimson. A voice as small as a mosquito buzzed in his ear, “When you dare to go to my father to propose!”
After saying this, Tan Miaotong fled from Ye Chu’s embrace as if escaping. Ye Chu watched her retreating figure, completely stunned. Her swaying, graceful figure as she fled left his heart burning with heat.
“You just wait! Next time, I will send the Old Madman to your clan to propose!” Ye Chu shouted at Tan Miaotong’s retreating back.
This sentence nearly made Tan Miaotong lose her footing. She almost fell to the ground, fleeing in embarrassment out of Ye Chu’s line of sight.
…
Thinking of the Old Madman going to propose, and the wonderful life he and Tan Miaotong would have, Ye Chu could not help but grin foolishly.
“Put away that disgusting smile!” A familiar voice rang out, startling Ye Chu. He turned his head and saw that Bai Qingqing was standing beside him, no one knew when she had arrived.
Unlike Tan Miaotong’s refreshing and invigorating freshness, Bai Qingqing’s body was sexy. Just standing there, she exuded endless charm, seductive and alluring. Even Ye Chu could not help but feel his blood surge, sensing a heat rising in his lower abdomen.
He used the Green Lotus to merge with his whole body, only then suppressing this fiery heat. “How did you come back so soon?”
“What? Are you not welcoming me?” Bai Qingqing looked at Ye Chu with seductive, silk-like eyes, her tone full of resentment. If he did not know what kind of person Bai Qingqing was, Ye Chu would truly have been lost in her seductive demeanour.
“Big sister, please do not put on such an act, I beg you to spare me. My fate is thin and my fortune is shallow, I cannot handle you looking like this!” Ye Chu pleaded for mercy. Her every frown and smile stirred up one’s desires, and Ye Chu did not want to suffer the torment of being burned by lustful fire.
“I can spare you, but can you tell me what you did the other day?”
Bai Qingqing was very curious. She had wanted to use her demonic arts to find Ye Chu the other day. But what she found hard to understand was that her demonic arts had actually failed.
This shocked Bai Qingqing greatly. She had originally thought Ye Chu had broken through her demonic arts. It was only because she could sense Ye Chu again these past few days that she felt reassured.
“Chasing girls, bragging, resting and recuperating, I have not done anything else!” Ye Chu naturally would not tell Bai Qingqing about the Wu clan. This woman did not even distinguish between friend and foe. If he told her about the Wu clan’s holy land, who knew what schemes she would hatch.
“Is that so? Then by what means did you block my perception?” Bai Qingqing asked, voicing her curiosity.
Ye Chu finally understood why Bai Qingqing cared so much, and a smile appeared on his face. “I told you long ago, your demonic arts are not omnipotent. I have plenty of means to break them. Do not think that having demonic arts can bind me.”
Ye Chu naturally knew that it was extremely difficult for him to break the demonic arts, and he also knew that the reason Bai Qingqing could not sense him back then was because of the Wu clan’s holy land. It was the city shrouded in Wu mist that had isolated the aura of the demonic arts.
But he knew that Bai Qingqing did not know this. It was the perfect opportunity to strike at Bai Qingqing’s arrogant spirit, lest she think she had him completely figured out.
“Is that so?” Bai Qingqing chuckled, her smile charming and seductive. “If you could truly break it, with your character, would you not have broken it? Although I do not know how you blocked my perception back then, I know you failed. So, you had better just obediently listen to me.”
Having said this, Bai Qingqing extended her slender, tender, and white fingers, like fine bamboo, and gently stroked Ye Chu’s face. Her fingertips grazed Ye Chu’s lips, creating a ticklish sensation. Combined with the hot breath exhaled from her red lips, it was truly hard to resist her allure.
“This woman is truly a damn demoness!”
