Chapter 664 -664: The Priestess’s Charms (40)

At night.

Lingji sat at his desk, carving the magic stone, when he heard the faint sound of footsteps.

He slightly turned his face. “Xiao Zheng? What’s wrong?”

“I’m going to take a bath.”

“…” Lingji’s face turned slightly red and he asked in a low voice, “Xiao Zheng, are you inviting me to join you?”

Chuzheng looked at him inexplicably, “I’m just telling you.”

Aren’t you the one who asked me to tell you everything I do?

Lingji: “…”

As if thinking of something, Lingji put down the magic stone in his hand and propped himself up from the table.

Chuzheng reached out to pull him, and Lingji followed her hand, walking out confidently.

“I’ll take you to a place.” He kissed Chuzheng’s forehead.

“Where to?” Aren’t we supposed to sleep at this time of night?

“You’ll know when we get there.”

Lingji led Chuzheng out, and Yi Cun lay at the doorway. Seeing them leave, it howled and wagged its tail, wanting to follow.

But Lingji gestured for it not to follow.

Yi Cun tilted its head in confusion, watching its master and Chuzheng walk away.

I’ll complain to Jiu Qu!

This thief is taking their master away again!

Lingji pulled Chuzheng through the long corridors of Qingfeng Hall, around many side halls, until they reached a teleportation circle.

The teleportation circle led to a hot spring.

The mist enshrouded the area, and as far as the eye could see, the clean moon hung high, as if atop a cloud and in the middle of an immortal realm.

“Is it beautiful?”

Lingji asked Chuzheng.

“You can’t see it anyway.”

“…” Lingji pursed his lips, “Do… do you think it’s beautiful?”

He had been here before when his eyes could still see.

“Hmm.” It looks nice, but I just wanted to take a bath, that’s all.

“Do you like it?” Lingji asked again, tentatively.

“I like it.”

Just go along with the Good Person Card.

Sure enough, Lingji was happy.

He pulled Chuzheng into the water, and the warm, comfortable spring water rose above their bodies.

He clumsily took off the clothes on Chuzheng’s body. Originally, there were no romantic intentions, but his actions made the ambiance tease with ambiguity.

Chuzheng scanned the surroundings of the hot spring, realizing that surely not just anyone could come here.

So…

Splash!

The hot spring waters gently swayed as Chuzheng pushed Lingji to the edge of the pool, leaving Lingji somewhat astonished, “Xiao Zheng, you’re pushing me…mm…”

Lingji’s pupils slightly dilated, reflecting the bright moon in the sky, clear and distinct.

The mist rose and blurred the figures of the two.

The bright moon unwittingly hid behind the clouds, as if it were shy from the scene.

–

The next day.

As Chuzheng helped him dress, his face blushed with a rosy hue, and his lips were still somewhat swollen. Lingji touched his own neck.

“Xiao Zheng.”

The man’s voice was slightly hoarse, and the more so, the more enticing it was.

“Could you please not kiss me here?” Lingji pointed to a mark on his neck, “It will be seen by others.” Jiu Qu spotted it last time; if it weren’t for Jiu Qu’s reminder, he would have had no idea.

Chuzheng looked up where Lingji was pointing. Due to the collar of his clothes, it was impossible to completely cover it up, half hidden and half exposed, and the sanctified aura seemed to have dissipated a bit.

“It looks quite good.” Chuzheng was extremely satisfied.

This way, others will know you’re mine.

“…” Lingji was embarrassed, “But if other people from The Temple see it, it’s not very appropriate.”

He was a Priest, although few people saw him.

But there would still be those who would see it.

Especially the several Elders of The Temple.

If they saw it, God knows what they might say.

During this time, they had been busily dealing with Yin Wen and the Dark Moon Organization and had no time to bother with Chuzheng. But once they were free, they would surely come looking for trouble.

Lingji clasped Chuzheng’s arm and pleaded in a low voice, “Next time, could you kiss a bit more discreetly?”

Chuzheng: “…”

I will kiss wherever I want!!

And you have requests about how I kiss?

I won’t!

Chuzheng very principledly rejected Lingji’s request and maliciously deepened the kiss for him.

Lingji: “…”

I can’t show my face to anyone now!

–

After Ye Shuliang was brought back, he was dealt with for the matters concerning Maoling City.

Only Ye Kaiying was left to head the great Ye Family.

And Ye Kaiying himself was a wastrel. After Ye Shuliang’s incident, he was depressed for a while but soon returned to his true nature.

The Ye Family couldn’t control him and could only watch as he squandered the family fortune day by day.

With Ye Shuliang gone, there were many who looked at the Ye Family with covetous eyes.

By the time Ye Kaiying came to his senses, the Ye Family had already fallen into a predicament.

However, Ye Kaiying had been spoiled by Ye Shuliang, and facing such a vast family business, he had no idea where to start.

Seeing Ye Kaiying in this state, the people within the Ye Family also started to have other thoughts.

In just a few short months, the grand Ye Family had already lost its former glory.

But as for how long the Ye Family’s foundation could hold out, that remained to be seen.

–

“Great Elder.”

The Great Elder, clearly displeased at being called, softened his expression upon seeing who it was.

“Eldest Princess.”

Liang Shuxue approached gracefully, bowed respectfully, and performed the rituals perfectly.

“Great Elder, Shuxue has a matter to report to the Great Elder.”

“What matter?” This was the royal family’s Eldest Princess, and the Great Elder had to show her some respect.

“This place is not suitable for talking; may the Great Elder please step aside?”

The Great Elder looked around and nodded his agreement.

After the Great Elder and Liang Shuxue finished talking, when he came out, his face was so dark it seemed like ink might drip from it.

The Great Elder quickly called the other three elders and stormed into the main hall of Qingfeng Hall with great momentum.

Lingji was alone in the hall, and the four elders burst in without any report, which displeased him, but his words did not sound sharp. He asked in a calm and unhurried tone, “Elders, what urgent matter brings you here?”

“Priest Lord,” the Great Elder stepped forward and spoke on behalf of the others, “Are you aware of the origins of that Miss Chuzheng from Qingfeng Hall?”

Lingji’s heart sank slightly.

It had come, after all.

Last time, these individuals didn’t settle down, but were later tied up by the affairs of Yin Wen and the Dark Moon.

“I am certainly aware,” Lingji said. “She is to become the Priest’s wife.”

“Priest Lord!”

The four elders exclaimed in unison.

“She is a Dark Magician!”

“Third Elder, do you have evidence?” Lingji’s tone was gentle.

The Great Elder said gravely, “This is not something one person claimed; if she is not a Dark Magician, why has it been said repeatedly?”

Lingji asked, “Who told you this last time?”

The Great Elder fell silent for a moment, not responding.

The other three elders were probably also thinking of the incident involving Ye Shuliang.

But this time, it was the Eldest Princess of the royal family who said it…

“I shall marry her, and the time shall be set for the next Sky Opening Ritual,” Lingji announced, not seeking their opinion but informing them of his decision.

If a Priest is to marry, the time must be set for the Sky Opening Ritual.

The Priest’s spouse must be made known to the God of Light, and if the God of Light opposes, the Sky Opening Ritual will not proceed smoothly.

In the past, there were indeed Priests who got married.

But…

The Sky Opening Ritual for their marriage never went smoothly.

It was not that the Priests chose not to marry, but that the God of Light did not permit the Priests to marry.
