193: Chapter 193 This formation is no good! It's not even one ten-thousandth as good as my Bewitching Array! [Bonus Chapter]

"This time, you won't be able to run away, will you?"

Yue Qingxuan approached him step by step.

Her gold and purple robe dragged across the warm jade floor, the hem making a soft rustling sound. With every step she took, another layer of the Formation patterns around the Qingyue Palace lit up.

The surrounding environment also shifted, and when the three of them reappeared, they were already inside the hall.

The scent of Ambergris began to diffuse throughout the hall.

Lu Chen remained holding Yue Shiyun in his arms as he looked at Yue Qingxuan.

"Little Xuanxuan, this welcoming ceremony of yours is a bit frightening."

Yue Qingxuan did not stop. She raised her hand and unfastened the gold button at the collar of her robe.

Clink—the first gold button hit the floor.

Clink—the second gold button hit the floor.

The gold and purple robe loosened slightly, revealing a section of her fair neck and, further down, a glimpse of her fragrant shoulders.

That luxurious robe, which had been tightly fastened, was now being undone by her own hands, bit by bit.

The gold-threaded lapels slid to the sides, exposing a large expanse of snowy-white skin. As the light from the warm jade lamps hit it, Lu Chen's eyelids twitched twice.

Lu Chen lowered his head and pressed Yue Shiyun's small head into his chest.

"Don't look. Children will get sties if they see this."

Yue Shiyun lay against his chest, her silver hair hanging down as her small hands gripped his neck.

"Revered Master Brother, Big Sister is both fierce and fragrant."

Lu Chen coughed.

"That evaluation is very accurate."

Yue Qingxuan's footsteps paused.

She raised a hand to gather the sliding lapels but did not button them back up.

"Brother Lu, after not seeing you for so many years, you've actually learned how to take care of children."

Lu Chen immediately retorted.

"This Emperor is simply protecting his young."

"Protecting *my* young?"

Yue Qingxuan took a step forward.

"She is my sister."

"She is my disciple now."

"And what about me?"

Yue Qingxuan placed her hand on the edge of a jade table and, with a push of her wrist, vaulted directly over it.

Her long, powerful leg landed first.

The gold and purple robe parted at the side, and her fair, long leg stepped onto the warm jade floor. The blood and Qi of her Overlord Body sent a ripple of fine cracks through the floor.

When her second step landed, she was already standing in front of Lu Chen, with only Yue Shiyun between them.

The scent of Ambergris grew even stronger.

The fragrance was no ordinary incense; it was mixed with Imperial Dragon Qi, Overlord Body Essence Blood, and a few wisps of Spiritual Qi specifically designed to stir the Divine Soul.

The spiritual energy in the hall was compressed into a thin mist by the Formation. That mist seeped into the Meridians, pushing one's blood and Qi upward.

If it were someone in the Saint Realm, they would lose their composure within three breaths. Even a Quasi-Emperor would have to circulate their technique to steady their Dao Heart.

Lu Chen sniffed, but he didn't circulate any technique.

The Great Emperor Law automatically circulated through his body. As soon as that bit of fragrance entered his Meridians, it was crushed and transformed back into a wisp of pure Spiritual Qi.

Lu Chen looked down at Yue Shiyun.

Yue Shiyun was curled up in his arms, shielded by a layer of Evergreen Qi, so she hadn't caught even a hint of the fragrance.

Yue Qingxuan leaned in close. The Ambergris scent on her body overpowered the Formation's fragrance, and her heat pressed in with her.

Her gold and purple robe was half-open, her fragrant shoulders exposed, and the collar had been casually pulled open, leaving a large area of skin within Lu Chen's line of sight.

She reached out and toyed with Lu Chen's collar.

"Brother Lu."

These two words escaped her lips with an incredibly clingy tone.

"After all these years, you still have that 'asking to be bullied' look."

Lu Chen leaned back until his back hit the edge of the bed.

There was nowhere left to retreat.

The bed in the Qingyue Palace was very large, covered in gold-threaded soft mattresses and inlaid with warm jade. Lu Chen sat on the edge, supporting Yue Shiyun with one hand and patting little Shiyun's back with the other.

Watching Yue Qingxuan approach, he didn't panic; instead, he sniffed again.

"Tsk."

Yue Qingxuan's movements stopped.

"What are you 'tsking' about?"

"That's it?"

Yue Qingxuan narrowed her Phoenix eyes.

"What did you say?"

Lu Chen pointed at the surrounding Formation patterns.

"Little Xuanxuan, you call this a Formation?"

Yue Qingxuan's chest heaved.

Lu Chen continued to speak.

"The level of aphrodisiac fragrance is too low-grade; it relies purely on brute spiritual force to push it."

"The Formation's shell is alright, but the inside is all brute force."

"Using this thing against someone in the Saint Realm is basically bullying, but against this Emperor? It won't work. As long as I'm unwilling, you've got no chance."

Yue Qingxuan's fingers paused on his collar.

"You're looking down on me? Then, are you willing?"

Lu Chen looked serious.

"I'm pointing out the flaws for your own good."

"If you had seen the Thousand Illusions Heart-Bewildering Array that I personally set up, you would know how crude this thing of yours is."

He raised his hand and gestured a very small distance.

"It's not even a ten-thousandth as intense as my Formation."

Yue Qingxuan's chest trembled violently. Her gold and purple robe was already half-open, and with this, the collar loosened even further.

She looked down at herself, then raised a hand and slowly pulled her dragon robe down past her shoulders.

"Very well."

She stared at Lu Chen.

"You seem to know quite a lot?"

Lu Chen immediately changed his tune.

"This Emperor knows a little."

Yue Qingxuan waved her hand, and half of the Formation patterns in the Qingyue Palace stopped glowing.

The seductive Aura in the hall mostly dissipated.

Just as Lu Chen was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Yue Qingxuan reached out and unfastened the golden belt at her waist.

Thud! The golden belt fell to the floor.

The complex outer robe slid down her shoulders and was casually tossed aside by her.

As the outer robe hit the floor, the gold threads spread out.

She was left wearing only a form-fitting silk undergarment.

The undergarment was thin and snug, dark gold in color, tightly hugging her voluptuous curves. The straps rested on her fair shoulders, her waist was cinched tight, and below were her long legs.

Without the outer robe to conceal it, the blood and Qi of the Heavenly Overlord Body spread directly through the hall.

Lu Chen's eyelids twitched even more violently; this woman was for real.

Yue Qingxuan stepped onto the warm jade floor barefoot.

Every step carried pressure, and her Aura seemed to sway before her chest.

"Since you look down on my Formation..."

She leaned over, pressing one hand onto the bed beside Lu Chen.

"...then I won't use a Formation."

She pressed her other hand on his other side.

"I'll use myself directly."

Yue Shiyun poked half of her small head out from Lu Chen's arms.

"Big Sister, you're blocking me."

Yue Qingxuan looked down at her.

"Close your eyes."

Yue Shiyun puffed out her cheeks.

"I won't. Revered Master Brother is mine."

Lu Chen raised his hand and pushed Yue Shiyun's small head back into his chest.

"You shut up too."

Yue Qingxuan suddenly raised a leg.

That long leg stepped directly onto the bed, her knee landing beside Lu Chen.

In the next instant, she pressed down. The power of the Heavenly Overlord Body was unreasonably domineering.

The bed made a muffled sound as Yue Qingxuan sat astride Lu Chen's lap.

Yue Shiyun was still between them, but that warm, soft, and heavy pressure still transmitted through the little disciple and the fabric of their clothes.

Lu Chen stiffened for a moment.

It wasn't fear; it was just that this scene was too absurd.

A Great Emperor of the current age, holding his newly recruited cute disciple in his arms, while the Peerless Empress sat on his lap.

If word of this got out, Mo Wentian would probably kneel before the Ancestral Master Hall and cry for three days straight.

"Yue Qingxuan."

Lu Chen raised a hand and pressed it against her shoulder.

"Calm down, Shiyun is still here."

Yue Qingxuan glanced down at Yue Shiyun.

"It's fine. If I make a move, she'll fall asleep."

Lu Chen looked down.

Sure enough, Yue Shiyun's eyes were closed, her silver lashes lowered, her small hands still clutching his lapel as she murmured softly.

"Revered Master Brother! Don't run..."

Lu Chen raised his hand to cover her with a layer of Evergreen Qi and added a layer of Sound-Isolating Law.

The little girl went completely quiet.

Watching his actions, Yue Qingxuan tapped his chest with her finger.

"You really are attentive to her."

Lu Chen spoke with righteous confidence.

"She is my disciple."

"And what about me?"

"A friend."

Yue Qingxuan lowered her body another inch.

"Just a friend?"

"Could it be Dao Companion?"

"That's more like it!"

Yue Qingxuan raised her hands to cup his face.

Her hands were very fair, carrying the heat of her Overlord Body's blood and Qi. Her strength was considerable, not at all the delicate and weak type.

"You said before that after you became an Emperor, you would come to the Central Province."

Lu Chen opened his mouth.

"Hasn't this Emperor come?"

"But you are many years late."

"There was a traffic jam on the way."

"What 'traffic'?"

Yue Qingxuan's chest heaved again in anger.

"You're still as good at talking nonsense as ever."

Lu Chen looked innocent.

"It really was jammed. I even smashed it with a punch."

Yue Qingxuan stared at him for a few breaths before suddenly smiling. This time, there was no Empress's air, nor any Quasi-Emperor pressure.

She simply leaned closer, so close that Lu Chen could smell the fragrance in her hair.

"Lu Chen."

She spoke each word deliberately.

"I don't care who you owe, and I don't care about whatever apprenticeship ceremony the Ye family is having."

"Since you've come to the Wushuang Immortal Dynasty, to the Qingyue Palace, I will collect this debt personally."

Lu Chen raised his hand, wanting to push her away.

Yue Qingxuan beat him to it, grabbing his wrist and pinning it directly to the bed.

Yue Qingxuan pressed against him, her other hand cupping his face.

Just as Lu Chen was about to speak, Yue Qingxuan had already lowered her head.

Her moist, burning red lips pressed down with dominance, carrying years of unresolved resentment and a touch of stubbornness that refused to let go.

She pressed firmly against Lu Chen's lips, directly stealing away the words he hadn't yet spoken.

Lu Chen's back was against the bed. Yue Shiyun, protected in his arms, had already been whisked away by spiritual energy to sleep on the side.

The five layers of Formations in the Qingyue Palace lit up once more.

Yue Qingxuan pressed even closer, greedily taking that wisp of Great Emperor Aura from between his lips and teeth.
