Eternal Life from Taking Care of Master's Wife-Chapter 273 - 2: Awakening! The Heart Demon King’s Path! The Ancestor’s Heart Stirs

Chapter 273: Chapter 2: Awakening! The Heart Demon King’s Path! The Ancestor’s Heart Stirs

Bihua Palace.

Immortal mist swirled, clouds steamed into a gorgeous glow, divine birds soared, bright as rainbows, spiritual beasts carried herbs, auspicious auras hung low, the grass was verdant, and fragrances filled the air.

In front of the jade hall, orchids covered the ground, rare blossoms erupted with colored smoke, flower rain gently drifted down, there were precious blooms, rare buds, and exquisite leaves, sparkling and translucent, like multicolored gems, yet with the fragrance of orchids and musk.

In the lotus pond, fish and dragons leapt, the water shimmered with gold and glowing sunlight.

Princess Xingyue sat at the window, her slender jade fingers picked up some bait from a jade pot on the windowsill and gently threw it into the lotus pond.

The colorful spiritual fish swam eagerly, competing for the bait, creating splashes of water.

Princess Xingyue’s noble and elegant face remained as calm as water, serene and tranquil, resembling someone watching the clouds drift past the sky with leisure.

But inside, her heart was a churning sea.

Thinking about soon having to practice dual cultivation with a man she had never spoken to, someone she didn’t even really know, made her feel inexplicable tension and unease.

Especially as it was to awaken the Overlord Emperor Bloodline with Zhou Chen that...

This gave her an awkward feeling.

She felt a bit shameless...

Plop!

Water splashed everywhere, as if a meteorite had fallen into the lotus pond, scattering the fish that were eagerly vying for food.

"Marquis!?"

Princess Xingyue abruptly stood up; she was at the Divine Seed Realm, her eyesight was excellent, allowing her to immediately see who had fallen into the water.

Who was Zhou Chen anyway?

Zhou Chen’s entrance was truly unconventional.

Of course, Princess Xingyue knew Zhou Chen had been thrown down.

Her gaze was melancholy—was she so unattractive that even Zhou Chen, the Prince of the Brothel, didn’t want to be with her?

Otherwise, why would Zhou Chen have been thrown down?

It actually had nothing to do with her at all.

Zhou Chen’s mischievous hands had long become instinctual.

When holding a beauty, he couldn’t help but aim straight for the target, full and round.

Especially since...

Zhou Chen’s Lu Shan’s Claw always liked to explore the shadowy depths.

"Marquis, are you alright?"

But with her well-bred manners and an unperturbed expression, Princess Xingyue looked at Zhou Chen in the lotus pond, concerned.

"Pfft!"

Zhou Chen emerged from the water, spitting out a mouthful and shaking his wet head.

Princess Xingyue, who had approached the pond, was splashed with water all over her face.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am fine!"

Zhou Chen lifted his head, looking at Princess Xingyue.

The princess was breathtakingly beautiful, her allure unparalleled, like a divine moon suspended in the air, brilliant and magnificent, outshining the gorgeous lotuses in the pond around her.

"Beauty eclipses the ages, the lotus feels shy before her fairness."

Staring into Princess Xingyue’s almond-like bright, clear eyes, Zhou Chen looked amazed and explained:

"Upon seeing Your Highness’s peerlessly beautiful visage just now, I momentarily lost my senses and accidentally fell into the lotus pond, making a fool of myself before Your Highness!"

"Smooth talker!"

In one of Bihua Palace’s luxurious and exquisite halls, behind red drapes, Chu Si’s voluptuous, sinuous silhouette lay half-reclined on a couch, looking languid.

A pair of fair, long legs slightly bent, straight and shapely, parted by a slit extending up to her thighs in her phoenix robe, hinted at infinite allure, yet revealed nothing.

It’s most enticing when you want to see but can’t.

"What a little rogue!"

She naturally saw clearly why Zhou Chen had been thrown down earlier, and had to admit Zhou Chen’s courage was boundless.

A mere Divine Seed Realm dared to flirt with a Dharma Realm expert.

Especially with attempts at getting handsy.

Fearless of being beaten to death!

Yet for a Divine Seed Realm...

"I’ve heard this rascal just turned twenty-one, yet he’s already cultivated to the Divine Seed Realm and condensed the Dao Primordial Pill. Truly a monster..."

Chu Si examined Zhou Chen, recalling Zhou Chen’s profile, growing more and more startled.

Evil genius doesn’t suffice to describe him!

"A little rogue with no fear!"

Yaoji adjusted her skirt, disheveled by Zhou Chen, not expecting that in just that short time, both her forbidden grounds were easily conquered by Zhou Chen.

Had Zhou Chen not overstepped his bounds and sought to explore the Dark Abyss, she wouldn’t have thrown him down.

"Beauty eclipses the ages, the lotus feels shy before her fairness..."

Upon hearing these words, even though she knew Zhou Chen was being glib, trying to flatter her, Princess Xingyue couldn’t help feeling happy.

The previous melancholy instantly vanished into the heavens.

"The Marquis overpraises me, I dare not claim such grace!"

Her fair jade complexion blushed lightly, not daring to meet Zhou Chen’s eyes, instead looking down at the vivid lotuses beside her. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Some red lotuses had already bloomed, their beauty unparalleled.

Others were still buds, just like Princess Xingyue now.

Awaiting to bloom.

"The Princess deserves such praise!"

Zhou Chen smiled, raising his hand to grasp Princess Xingyue’s soft little hand.

He had no interest in engaging in romance with the princess.

Princess Xingyue trembled, her graceful body stiffening, though she was twice Zhou Chen’s age, her experience paled in comparison.

Zhou Chen had traveled widely, sampling various delicacies and seafood, experienced and knowledgeable, proficient in diverse culinary arts.

Especially kneading dough for buns, simmering abalone - home-cooked dishes he excelled at.

Princess Xingyue gripped Zhou Chen’s broad hand tightly, exerting a bit of strength, and Zhou Chen leaped from the lotus pond, dripping wet.

Zhou Chen activated Divine Power, instantly evaporating the water from his body, restoring his original appearance.

He lowered his head, gazing at Princess Xingyue’s exquisite beauty, her eyes flickered, hesitant to speak, not knowing how to begin.

After all, that matter was difficult for her to broach directly.

Zhou Chen smiled.

As an experienced hand, he naturally understood the thoughts of his companion.

Zhou Chen bent down, scooping up Princess Xingyue’s legs in a princess carry.

"Ah!"

Princess Xingyue gasped, clutching Zhou Chen tightly, instinctively wanting to push him away, but recalling their purpose there, her strength waned, bashfully resting against Zhou Chen’s chest.
