Chapter 66: Becoming the Empress?
The faint candlelight spilled over the disheveled bed, painting a scene that could quicken the pulse of gods and buddhas alike.
A stunning woman, her exquisite curves accentuated by black hair tipped with silver, clung to a man of equal, almost unreal beauty like a languid yet domineering octopus, their bodies pressed seamlessly together.
The two, like the creator’s finest masterpieces, slept entwined, breaths mingling, forming a picture of ultimate allure and harmony.
Li Tianxing sighed helplessly, his arms instinctively tightening around the warm, soft jade in his embrace.
He recognized her, of course—this breathtaking face, nearly identical to the “Peerless Fairy” who swept the ancient paths and struck fear into countless prodigies in his past life, was his little wife.
But… the original her was cold, ruthless, sacred, untouchable, her aura pure as untouched snow.
The woman in his arms now… her black hair shimmered with eerie silver, exuding a strange blend of sanctity and depravity, allure and divinity, like honey-coated poison, radiating lethal charm.
“This change… happened too fast…” Li Tianxing gave a wry smile in his heart. Her appearance had “returned” early, but her essence… had veered off course.
“Hiss…” A dull ache in his waist made him suck in a breath, his inner monologue raging.
Damn it! I secretly broke through to the Innate Realm last night, matching her level, so how… how did she still pin me down and dominate me all night?!
He had to admit, this night of “hard labor” had not only stabilized his Innate Realm cultivation but pushed him toward the mid-stage threshold, his progress lightning-fast…
But! The but was the issue! A seven-foot man, thoroughly controlled by his wife, reduced to a blushing bride on her first night! This script was wrong!
In stark contrast to the “victim” with aching loins and a wilted spirit was the radiant, vibrant “perpetrator” beside him.
Xie Qiyang had long woken, eyes closed, immersed in a profound state.
In her mind, insights from last night’s fervent “practice” of the “Yin-Yang Harmony Dao” surged like a boiling spring, forming embryonic “techniques” of exquisite brilliance.
Her system’s Depravity Points were skyrocketing!
The doubts and confusion about her identity and future had been washed away in last night’s exhilarating, self-led “cultivation.”
In their place burned a wildfire of… desire.
And an absolute possessiveness over power, control, and the man beneath her.
“I’m done for…” A tiny voice in her heart sighed, hands on hips. “I’m really turning into a lust-driven, power-hungry demon queen.”
Yet, that sigh held no resistance—only a “this is awesome” delight.
After all, last night, with her newfound power, she called the shots. Li Tianxing was like a delicate beauty, hers to toy with.
Especially recalling his face—handsome enough to shame women—flushed with embarrassment under her, his deep golden eyes dodging hers, occasionally revealing a dazed, watery glint…
It was too fun. She was hooked.
Her long lashes fluttered as she opened her eyes, meeting Li Tianxing’s helpless yet indulgent gaze.
Her lips curved into a bright, slightly wicked smile. Before he could react, she leaned in and planted a loud smack on his pale, handsome cheek.
“Darling~ Sleep well last night?” Her voice was sweet, sultry, with a husky, just-woken lilt, utterly captivating. “You… performed well~ Deserves praise!”
Her confidence was sky-high. After last night’s “deep exchange” and the system’s power boost, she was certain: Li Tianxing, also at the Innate Realm, couldn’t beat her now.
Heh heh heh…
No holding back then. Time to seize the upper hand!
Under his slightly stunned gaze, the pink hearts in her eyes flashed. Her lips curved into a queenly smirk. With a twist of her waist, she flipped them over.
The world spun.
In an instant, their positions reversed!
Xie Qiyang’s long, powerful legs straddled his lean waist, her slender yet commanding fingers pressing his firm chest.
Leaning down, her black-and-silver hair cascaded like a starry river, the tips brushing his neck, sending shivers of itchiness.
Her eyes, blazing with pink hearts and supreme allure, gazed down imperiously at the man pinned beneath her.
The candlelight traced her perfect silhouette. Gone was yesterday’s aggrieved confusion—she was a newly crowned queen, reveling in her victory and submission.
“So…” Her red lips parted, voice lazy, seductive, and commanding, “My little ‘wife,’ a new day begins. Tell me… how will you ‘serve’ your lord husband today?”
Li Tianxing: “…”
…
As Empress Xie Qiyang savored her “little husband’s” helpless yet doting gaze, plotting new “techniques” to solidify her “domestic throne” and rack up Depravity Points—
Swish!
A thin, gold-gleaming note slipped under the door like a homing eel, twirling in the air and landing precisely in Xie Qiyang’s hand, still pressed on Li Tianxing’s chest.
“Hm?” She raised a lazy brow, annoyed at the interruption to her “mood.”
Pinching the note with two fingers, she glanced at it, uninterested. In less than a second, she lost patience, flicking the pricey gold note onto the silk bedding.
“What’s it say?” Li Tianxing craned his neck curiously, asking from his “captive” position, needing permission from the empress atop him.
He couldn’t help but recall his past life. Back then, from their first meeting to their marriage, she was always this proud, domineering, like an empress. Why had she suddenly taken on that same aura today, without warning?
