Douluo: Cutting me drops treasures; Bi Bidong got addicted

"Of course, you can."

Lin Yi responded as he finished tying Lin Jingyue's hair and casually picked up the mirror next to them.

"I've never tied hair for a girl before, maybe you should do it yourself."

"How could that be! You did a beautiful job! I really like it!"

Lin Jingyue rotated her head left and right in front of the mirror, her smile never leaving her face.

Couldn't Lin Yi tell whether it looked good or not? But it didn't matter, Lin Yi knew she wasn't lying about "liking" it.

This made him soften immediately. After thinking for a moment, Lin Yi bent his head from behind towards Lin Jingyue's cheek and said, "How about I leave a week later, okay?"

Lin Jingyue set the mirror down and turned around in surprise.

"Mua!"

She happily kissed Lin Yi on the cheek: "Okay!"

The surprise was so sudden!

Lin Jingyue picked up the mirror and put it down again, picked it up and put it down, too excited to keep still. She simply stood up, wrapped her arms around Lin Yi's neck, stood on her toes, and kissed him on the lips.

This beautiful face, these delicate red lips, those watery eyes, and that waist as slender and soft as willow branches, this was not an Immortal, this was a goddamn enchantress.

Even if Lin Yi tried to keep up a cold facade, he couldn't continue. To be honest, who wouldn't like such a woman—beautiful and well-shaped, dignified in public, yet charming and playful in private, a Pirate Empress whose every frown and smile could captivate souls. It wasn't an exaggeration.

Spending another seven days with her was something Lin Yi truly wanted.

He smiled and gave Lin Jingyue's nose a light scrape: "Alright, it's time to go out. The Immortal Law you've applied outside the Imperial Study Room must have scared quite a few people; they probably all think you've passed away."

Lin Jingyue pouted her lips: "Who made you not come to see me for so long? I haven't left home for centuries and haven't shown my strength in front of others."

"You've stayed at home for centuries?"

"Stayed at home? What does that mean?"

Lin Jingyue asked innocently.

"It means not going out of the house."

"Yes! I never went out!"

Lin Yi suddenly felt like laughing. After centuries, Lin Jingyue had become a homebody. In this way, outsiders wouldn't know that the Pirate Empress was actually an Immortal, and they might think that the Emperor had been replaced by generation after generation.

After all, the ones who knew the true identity of the Pirate Empress more than two hundred years ago had all turned into a pile of bones.

"Ancestral Patriarch, are you going out just like this?"

"Otherwise?"

Lin Yi looked at Lin Jingyue oddly; had he forgotten to zip up his pants?

After confirming his pants were zipped up, Lin Jingyue added, "They mistook you for an assassin, I'll explain that later, but how am I going to explain your identity to everyone? And what about the Immortal Laws just now?"

Lin Yi flicked his sleeve and walked forward, smiling, "Why hide it? Just say the Ancestral Patriarch is here personally, imparting the Emperor's Immortal Arts!"

Lin Jingyue just stood there, watching Lin Yi's retreating back, her eyes nearly sparkling with stars.

The Ancestral Patriarch is truly charming!

As they stepped out of the Imperial Study Room, Lin Jingyue repeated exactly what Lin Yi had said earlier.

With the Emperor as a witness, coupled with the recent display of Immortal Law, all the soldiers believed it to be true and knelt before Lin Yi, welcoming him with the highest ceremonial etiquette.

Many people in the crowd studied Lin Yi's face and then looked towards the largest statue within the imperial palace, their expressions filled with shock.

He indeed looked exactly like it.

The Ancestral Patriarch wasn't just a rumor, but a real existence.

Lin Jingyue issued an order.

All, including soldiers, palace maids, and eunuchs, were to leave the imperial palace and wait outside. This was to last seven days, and anyone who violated the order would commit a capital offense punishable by death.

When Lin Yi asked her why she was doing this, Lin Jingyue's exact words were that she didn't want to just sneak kisses with the Ancestral Patriarch in her room, she wanted to kiss him openly and with dignity.

To kiss in the hall where the morning court was held, in the long corridors, in the bloom-filled Imperial Garden, or even sitting atop the red palace wall.

Lin Yi used his spiritual power to search the vast area of the imperial palace and indeed found no human presence.

Was the grand imperial palace truly empty, left with only two people???

"Are you a tyrant?"

Lin Yi turned his head to look at Lin Jingyue.

The latter smiled and said, "I have indeed become more irritable over the years. In the past, I would turn a blind eye, but now, as soon as a crime is confirmed, I order the execution right away. In the eyes of those ministers, I must be a tyrant, unpredictable and ready to kill at any moment.

However, the common people heap praise onto me. They can't see my emotions, but they can certainly feel the effects of my governance, so, I must also be a just monarch. But whether I'm a tyrant or a just monarch, I will always be the little Jing Yue of the Ancestral Patriarch~"

After she finished speaking, she turned toward Lin Yi, the night had fallen, and the moonlight made Lin Jingyue's skin appear even more pale and delicate.

"Ancestral Patriarch, look."

Lin Jingyue finished speaking and begun unfastening her buttons, her clothes slipping one by one from her slender, smooth shoulders until the red bodice finally fell to the ground. In the moonlight, Lin Jingyue's skin was so tender it seemed like a beautiful piece of jade.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Yi was startled by her action.

Lin Jingyue tilted her head playfully and with a smile countered, "Do I look beautiful?"

Lin Yi chuckled softly, lifting her chin, "You are my most exquisite creation, how could you not be beautiful?"

Lin Jingyue felt even happier at these words.

She was so beautiful, like an Immortal under the moonlight, as she took a step forward and wrapped her arms around Lin Yi, her body warm and soft, her fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose.

"Only the two of us are in this vast imperial palace, no one will see. Jing Yue really likes the Ancestral Patriarch very much, so~"

She hugged him tightly, shy like a young girl, pausing after the last two words, as if deliberately leaving space for Lin Yi's imagination to fill in the rest.

Whatever image of a millennia-old Immortal or a ruthlessly decisive tyrant, at that moment, she was none of those; she was simply a complete seductress.

Lin Yi caressed Lin Jingyue's smooth back with his palm and scooped her up in a princess carry.

Lin Yi: "So?"

Lin Jingyue pursed her red lips, "So~ Jing Yue will leave herself at the mercy of the Ancestral Patriarch~"

The flowers in the Imperial Garden grew tall, almost to Lin Yi's waist. He carried Lin Jingyue into the sea of flowers, watching her delicate, pale feet brush past the vibrant blossoms.

He placed Lin Jingyue amidst the flowers, momentarily unable to tell whether the flowers or Lin Jingyue were more beautiful.

Lin Yi sighed, "I can almost predict the plot of these seven days."

Lin Jingyue lay in the flowers, giggling as she gently touched Lin Yi's waist with her foot, her long, pale legs deadly and seductive in their curve.

"For these seven days, Jing Yue will treat them as the last seven days of her life to spend with the Ancestral Patriarch. I will cherish them dearly."

"I will too."

Outside the imperial palace.

A few eunuchs guarded the place, wailing in distress.

"What kind of Immortal Law is this, to need seven days of learning? Even the chefs are thrown out, I'm really afraid His Majesty will go hungry."
