Chapter 6: Night Talk in the Imperial Bedchamber

Lin Zixuan woke up feeling refreshed.

The bed still held the faint fragrance of Wenren Wan, but she was nowhere to be seen. Remembering how he had only thought of himself last night, falling asleep immediately after his pleasure, he felt ashamed. He secretly resolved that next time he would make sure Wenren Wan had a good time.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Wenren Wan entered carrying a basin of water. "Oh, Brother Xuan, you're awake! Let me help you wash your face."

Lin Zixuan was already dressed, and seeing Wenren Wan's new outfit, he was immediately stunned.

Today she wore a black and white tight-fitting leather jacket, the white neckline half-open, her full, round breasts subtly revealed, extremely alluring. A small belt cinched her waist, adorned with several delicate jade stones. Below the belt, Wenren Wan wore a shorter, lotus-shaped black skirt than yesterday. She wore short boots, and thin black stockings covered her rounded calves and plump thighs, revealing a large expanse of white skin between the stockings and the hem of her skirt—a very bold and revealing look.

This outfit aroused Lin Zixuan's desire.

"Sister Wan'er, you're so beautiful," Lin Zixuan exclaimed.

"Really?" Wenren Wan was delighted, but said aloud, "Jin'er is much prettier."

"You're all equally beautiful," Lin Zixuan said, stroking her thigh. "But today, your male classmates are really lucky to get to see my Sister Wan'er's beautiful legs for free." "Looking at someone's legs won't hurt you,"

Wenren Wan laughed, swatting away his mischievous hand. She then took a damp towel and gently wiped Lin Zixuan's face.

From childhood, Wenren Wan had always taken care of Lin Zixuan like this, and Lin Zixuan was already used to being cared for by this gentle older sister.

"I won't be going with you today. I have plans to go to Dragon Lake Peak with Brother Leon. Have fun."

Wenren Wan looked at him with surprise: "I was very curious last night. You and Leon only met yesterday, how come you're so familiar with each other in just half a day?"

Lin Zixuan smiled and said: "Brother Leon and I admire each other and appreciate each other. What's so strange about that?"

"Our academy has many talented people and countless young talents, but there are not many that Leon would take a liking to. Because his grandfather is the Pope of the West, and I heard he's very powerful, so Leon has always been arrogant."

"The Pope of the West! Doesn't that mean he's the future Pope?" Lin Zixuan was speechless.

Wenren Wan thought for a moment and said: "I'm not quite sure if the position of Pope is hereditary. He came here largely to make a deal with our Penglai Palace. Brother Xuan, you can ask him yourself if you're interested."

Lin Zixuan nodded slightly.

Today, Wenren Wan was taking a group of her classmates to the island for a trip, so Lin Zixuan invited Leon to have breakfast together.

Penglai Palace has many courtyards, and Wenren Wan's classmates, all from prominent families, each had their own private courtyard. Upon seeing Leon, Lin Zixuan asked, "Brother Leon, did you sleep well last night?"

Leon smiled and replied, "Thanks, I slept soundly until dawn. I've never slept so comfortably in a strange place."

Lin Zixuan carefully observed his expression; both of them had been quite drunk last night, but seeing him so energetic this morning, he readily agreed, "That's good. If Brother Leon doesn't mind, how about having breakfast with me?" "I'd be delighted."

"I've already instructed the stewards to prepare the boat. After breakfast, we can set off."

"It's a pity my Dilo doesn't like strangers riding on its back; otherwise, it could carry two people perfectly, and we wouldn't have to go through all that trouble," Leon said with some regret.

Lin Zixuan laughed, "It's a bit of a pity, I've never ridden a flying dragon before. Sister Wan'er is so kind."

Leon laughed heartily, "That's true, Dilo really likes Wan'er. In the academy, he always likes to take her flying around. Brother Lin can't help but envy that."

Amidst their laughter, the two ate breakfast and boarded the ship with Dilo.

To accommodate Dilo's enormous size, Lin Zixuan specially arranged a large ship with a very deep draft, sailing towards Dragon Lake Peak in the morning sun.

"By the way, Brother Leon, Sister Wan'er told me that your grandfather was the Pope of the Western Continent. Does that mean Brother Leon is the future Pope?" Lin Zixuan was very interested in his identity.

Leon didn't deny it.

"That's right. Our Holy See has a thousand-year history, and the position of Pope is hereditary. However, I'm really tired of these power struggles, so I came to the East early on, and now I have a much easier life."

Lin Zixuan listened with admiration. He had some understanding of the Western Continent, knowing that the Pope was the spiritual leader of countless people there, wielding immense influence despite having no real power. Even emperors had to kneel before the Pope. There was even a precedent in the history of the Western Continent where a Pope had deposed a king. Yet Leon showed no attachment to power, which was truly admirable.

As they approached Dragon Lake Peak, the previously quiet Dilo on the deck suddenly became anxious.

Leon's expression finally turned serious. "What is it on this island that makes Dilo so fearful? By the way, what would you like Dilo to do for you, Brother Lin?" "I want it to help me find someone, or rather, a clue about someone." "Finding

someone isn't difficult; it's something Dilo excels at. However, it requires an item that the person is close to, otherwise Dilo will be powerless." "I have one."

Lin Zixuan was already prepared, taking out his father's overcoat.

Leon handed the coat to Dilo, who sniffed it. Leon stroked its head and asked, "How's it going? Is it okay?"

Dilo let out a hoarse growl. "It's fine, no problem. Let's go ashore."

Lin Zixuan took a deep breath and ordered everyone to moor the boat at the shore.

"Delo's sense of smell is the strongest among dragons, a hundred times better than a dog. Even if the scent has been there for a long time, it can still find it. Got it, Brother Lin, hurry up and follow."

Lin Zixuan's spirits lifted, and he quickened his pace to catch up with them. He was slightly shocked. Leon's agility had quickly left him behind. Leon's true strength was much greater than he had imagined. In terms of lightness skill alone, it was comparable to Lu Zhongming and Qin Yuning.

Dilo's speed was naturally faster than the two of them. It flew through the forest for nearly half an hour before finally stopping in a wooded area.

"How did it go?" Lin Zixuan asked hurriedly.

Leon listened intently to Dilo's low growl for a while before saying, "The aura that terrified Dilo disappeared in that lake ahead. Besides, the scent of the person you're looking for gradually faded from here and eventually vanished; Dilo couldn't determine their whereabouts."

Lin Zixuan took a deep breath: "Was that person alive at the time?"

Receiving Dilo's affirmative answer, Leon said, "He deliberately concealed his scent; he should be alive."

Lin Zixuan's eyes finally welled up with tears: "That's great."

Although their whereabouts were still unknown, confirming that Lin Tianhao was still alive was the best comfort for him.

Seeing his expression, Leon sighed, "That person must be extremely important to Brother Lin." After a pause, he continued, "I'm very curious about what that creature that frightened Dilo was, and I admire the person Brother Lin is looking for as much." "That person is my father. As for that creature, it was a dragon."

"A dragon." Leon gasped. He could imagine how powerful and ferocious that dragon must have been.

Lin Tianhao had instructed him not to tell anyone about this, as no one would believe him. But clearly, Leon was no ordinary person; he possessed a rare dragon like Dilo, so telling him wouldn't be a big problem.

However, Lin Zixuan still reminded him, "I hope Brother Leon can keep this a secret for me. After all, this dragon is too dangerous, and the fewer people who know of its existence, the better."

Leon nodded solemnly, "No need for Brother Lin's instructions, I will keep my mouth shut. If people know of this dragon's existence, some overconfident individuals might try to subdue it. I know dragons well; they are vengeful and hold grudges. If you anger it, it will vent its fury on every human it can see, making it extremely dangerous. This place is not safe to stay any longer, Brother Lin; we should hurry back."

Lin Zixuan readily agreed, "Let's go."

They sped back to the island and returned to Penglai Palace. The two sat on the stone steps, both letting out a long sigh of relief, exchanging a knowing glance, and finding it amusing. "You two are back so late, we've been waiting for you for ages."

A fragrant breeze wafted from behind as Wenren Wan sat down next to Lin Zixuan. Her long, shapely legs, encased in stockings, stretched lazily forward, unabashedly displaying her alluring figure. Lin Zixuan was completely mesmerized. He wanted to remind her that there were other people around, but seeing Leon's nonchalant expression, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did you have a good time today?" Lin Zixuan asked.

Wenren Wan immediately smiled, her smile blooming like a hundred flowers. "Of course! It's been so long since I've been back, and I'm with so many friends. It's a pity the academy's holiday is almost over, and everyone has things to do, so we'll all be leaving tomorrow."

"Brother Leon, you're leaving tomorrow too?" Lin Zixuan turned and asked.

"Yes, I came to Penglai Island mainly to import a batch of goods to be transported to the Western Continent. The cargo ship has been arranged, and we'll be setting off tomorrow. If you have time to come to the capital, Brother Lin, you must come to the academy to see me."

"Definitely." Lin Zixuan nodded.

"Oh, right, Sister Wan'er, come with me, I have something to give you." After Leon left, Lin Zixuan suddenly whispered in Wenren Wan's ear.

Wenren Wan's beautiful eyes sparkled with laughter, "What are you going to give me? Why are you being so mysterious?" "You'll find out when you come with me."

Lin Zixuan took her soft, smooth hand and led her towards his small building.

The two arrived at the courtyard behind Lin Zixuan's building. Lin Zixuan told her to close her eyes. Wenren Wan chuckled, but obediently closed her eyes.

Lin Zixuan let out a clear whistle, followed by the sound of flapping wings. Then he said, "Sister Wan'er, you can open your eyes now." "A lark!"

Wenren Wan exclaimed with delight. "Sister Wan'er, it's for you."

The little lark opened its jewel-like eyes, staring intently at Wenren Wan, then suddenly leaped lightly and flew right in front of her.

Women are generally powerless against beautiful things, and Wenren Wan was no exception when faced with the lively little lark.

"It's so cute! Jin'er also has such a beautiful little lark. I envy her so much. Brother Xuan, you're so kind!"

Wenren Wan's joyful expression was breathtaking. Lin Zixuan couldn't resist pulling her close and kissing her red lips. Kissing Lin Zixuan in this place made Wenren Wan blush, but she didn't want to disturb his enjoyment.

The little lark perched on Wenren Wan's shoulder, curiously watching the two embracing, wondering what they were doing.

A strange sound came from nearby, startling Wenren Wan. She quickly pushed Lin Zixuan away, her pretty face flushed from the passionate kiss, extremely alluring.

"Wangcai!" Wenren Wan exclaimed in surprise.

It was Wangcai, still bandaged. Seeing his old friend, he ignored his still-healing wounds and happily ran downstairs.

Wenren Wan held it close to her chest, her firm breasts pressed against it without hesitation. Looking at its wounds, she felt a pang of heartache: "Wangcai, I haven't seen you in so long! What happened to you?"

Wenren Wan had grown up in Penglai Palace, and emotionally, Wangcai was also a very important friend and companion to her. Seeing it again now filled her with joy.

"Didn't Wangcai leave with Uncle? You met it, but what about Uncle?"

Although Qin Yuning had long since driven Lin Tianhao out of Penglai Palace and taken a new lover, in Wenren Wan's heart, no matter how unpopular he was in the palace, Lin Tianhao was like a father. When he was driven out like a stray dog, Wenren Wan had truly felt terrible.

Lin Zixuan shook his head, indicating he didn't know, but seeing the worry on Wenren Wan's face, he comforted her, "Don't worry, Sister Wan'er, I believe that one day, Father will reappear before us, definitely."

Wenren Wan looked at him in surprise. How long had it been since Qin Yuning divorced his father? Lin Zixuan hadn't mentioned him at all. After Lu Zhongming, who was outstanding in both status and martial arts, was accepted by Qin Yuning, the name Lin Tianhao had become a source of shame in his heart. "Brother Xuan, you... haven't you always felt that Uncle is a scoundrel?"

Lin Zixuan was silent for a moment. "Sister Wan'er, if I told you that my father was not a coward at all, but a truly upright hero, would you believe me?"

Wenren Wan leaned gently against his chest and said without hesitation, "I believe you. I've always believed that Madam's decision back then was wrong. Even if Uncle Lu's martial arts are excellent, he can't replace Uncle Lin, who is like a father to me."

Lin Zixuan was silent. His greatest hope was that his father and mother could reunite one day. Despite Qin Yuning's seemingly carefree nature, she is actually quite assertive, and once she's made up her mind, even Lin Zixuan would find it difficult to change it. Moreover, Lu Zhongming has spent countless nights in his mother's palace since two and a half years ago. It's easy to guess that Lu Zhongming spends every night embracing his stunning mother, indulging in her alluring body.

In this battle between men, Lu Zhongming, having won Qin Yuning's heart and soul, has gained the upper hand. Unless Lin Zixuan's father makes a powerful return, he has no chance of winning back his beloved wife's heart.

Night falls in the rear hall of Penglai Palace.

"Xuan'er, your Uncle Lu is setting off tomorrow to escort a new batch of valuable goods to the capital for the palace, and he also needs to detain two important criminals at his Five Lakes Manor. The journey is long, so you will travel with Uncle Lu. Your martial arts skills are also up to par, so you can lend a hand if anything happens on the road."

Lin Zixuan's eyes narrowed: "Mother, are you worried about the Situ family?"

Qin Yuning's beautiful face showed a cold smile: "Who else could it be but them? They actually dared to rob our goods and kill our people. Humph, I've long disliked that old bastard Situ Dezong. He's a lecherous old man. Your mother is as beautiful as a fairy, and he looks like a pig. Does he think he can eat swan meat? I curse that old lecher; he'll die on a woman's belly sooner or later."

The originally serious topic was abruptly changed by Qin Yuning.

Wenren Wan suppressed a laugh and said, "Madam, I'll go with Xuan'er too. The caravan is full of men; I'm worried about who will take care of Xuan'er."

Qin Yuning shook her head: "Xuan'er is all grown up now. If he can't even endure this little hardship, how will he help his mother manage the vast Penglai Palace in the future?"

Wenren Wan immediately protested, clinging to Qin Yuning's arm and throwing a tantrum: "Madam... I don't care, I absolutely have to go."

Qin Yuning glared at her: "You spoil Xuan'er too much."

Wenren Wan retorted, not to be outdone: "Speaking of indulgence, Wan'er can't compare to you, Madam. Think about it, the journey from Zhili to Wuhu Manor is farther than to the capital. The caravan needs to travel in a hurry, and we also have to guard against the Situ family's underhanded tactics. Bringing palace maids would only be a burden. Madam, can you bear to let Xuan'er mingle with a bunch of grown men, becoming disheveled and smelly?"

The two had a relationship that was both like mother and daughter and like sisters, so Wenren Wan felt no pressure in her retort.

"Oh, now that you mention it, it's true. No, my Xuan'er represents me, he can't be like those smelly men, he has to be dressed neatly. Hmm, my Wan'er is so thoughtful. Come, let me give you a kiss."

After saying that, she actually kissed Wenren Wan's lips.

Qin Yuning's childishness flared up again, and the erotic scene of the two women kissing on the lips was almost unbearable to watch.

Lin Zixuan kept his eyes straight ahead, appearing upright but secretly overjoyed. Wenren Wan often teased him, and now it was finally her turn.

Wenren Wan's delicate face flushed instantly.

She couldn't help but pout, "Madam... are you deliberately making Wan'er look bad in front of Xuan-di?"

Qin Yuning smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? You've seen me kiss Xuan'er before. Besides, you two sometimes secretly kiss in the courtyard. Don't think I don't know."

Wenren Wan was speechless this time.

Qin Yuning pinched her cheek and said, "My little Wan'er is growing more and more beautiful. Even I'm captivated by her. We haven't slept together in a long time. Come to my palace tonight. Xuan'er, I'll borrow your Wan'er tonight, is that alright?" "

Of course, no problem, Mother will try my best to take her," Lin Zixuan said righteously.

He was joking; if he said no now, he'd be in for Qin Yuning's rage. He wasn't one to overthink things, so missing a night of intimacy with Wenren Wan wasn't a big deal.

Seeing Qin Yuning's determined expression, Lin Zixuan quickly made an excuse to slip away.

Wenren Wan followed Qin Yuning back to her palace. On the way, they encountered Lu Zhongming and chatted for a few moments. Wenren Wan noticed that Qin Yuning ignored Lu Zhongming's ardent gaze, chatted briefly, and then left nonchalantly, leaving Lu Zhongming looking sullen.

She couldn't help but find it amusing, and leaned close to Qin Yuning's ear, whispering a few questions.

Qin Yuning gave her a mysterious smile and returned to her palace. As she undressed, she said, "Wan'er, do you really want to know?"

Wenren Wan had already taken off her boots and gotten into bed, having just changed into a silk undergarment. Hearing this, she replied, "Wan'er is very curious. Why does Uncle Lu look so resentful?"

Qin Yuning also put on a silk robe, removed her embroidered shoes and white socks, got into bed, and drew the curtains. Smiling, she said, "Since Wan'er is so curious, I might as well tell you."

Then, she leaned close to Wenren Wan's ear and said in a seductive tone, "Because last night, when I was in bed with your Uncle Lu, he actually ejaculated in my mouth. In a fit of anger, I forbade him from sleeping in my bed tonight. He's leaving the palace tomorrow, and I'm afraid he won't be able to see me for another two weeks. That's why he's so resentful."

Qin Yuning's bold and explicit words made Wenren Wan blush. Qin Yuning was always bold and open, and influenced by this, Wenren Wan, though shy, gradually got used to such remarks. "Madam, what you said is so embarrassing..."

Qin Yuning smiled and hugged her, saying, "Who told my Wan'er to ask? Since you dare to ask, why can't you listen?"

"Uncle Lu is so naughty..." Wenren Wan's face turned red, and after a while, she carefully asked, "Madam, how can a man's thing be ejaculated in his mouth?"

"Men all like that. We women use our mouths to help men masturbate, and they enjoy it immensely. Last night, I was merciful and used my mouth to help that guy. Usually, he's as strong as an ox, and once he carries someone to bed, he won't ejaculate until he's fucked me half to death. But last night, after I had been sucking him for a short while, he got so excited that he ejaculated, and my mouth was full of it. I say, Wan'er, you haven't used your mouth to help men before, have you?"

Wenren Wan's breathing became slightly rapid, and she stammered, "Of course not, Brother Xuan never does that."

"Wan'er, you look so cute when you blush. Any man would be head over heels for you." "No way, Madam..."

Qin Yuning's red lips were already pressed against Wenren Wan's, and soon the two were tightly embracing on the bed, kissing passionately.

Even when Wenren Wan was little, the two sometimes slept together, and Qin Yuning liked to tease her like this. Over time, it became a habit, and this behavior became increasingly bold.

After kissing for a while, Qin Yuning asked, "Wan'er, does my mouth taste strange?"

Wenren Wan whispered, "Madam's mouth smells sweet, there's no taste at all."

Qin Yuning kissed her a few more times and said, "That's not right. Last night I was licking and sucking that stinky man's big stick, and he even ejaculated all over my mouth. Wan'er, you ate my saliva, which is equivalent to eating that stinky man's stuff too. If he knew, he'd be overjoyed."

Upon hearing this, Wenren Wan blushed deeply, "Madam... if you keep doing this, Wan'er will get angry!" "Hehe, okay, I won't tease my little Wan'er anymore. Come on, give me a kiss."

Amidst laughter, the two women embraced and kissed on the bed, playing around until late into the night. Fortunately, no one saw this scene, otherwise, the perfect image that the Penglai Sword Maiden had built, and the faith that countless men in Bailu Academy revered as a goddess for Wenren Wan, would have crumbled in the hearts of their admirers.
