In the night sky, the clouds once again covered the moonlight, with scattered fireworks still lingering below. A young couple sat side by side on the clouds, their feet dangling.

"If I say... tonight my mood is such that I don't feel like doing anything shameless with you, would you regret it?" Tang Wanju leaned on Zhao Changhe's shoulder, watching the fireworks below, and asked softly.

"Why would I regret it?" Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "I brought you out for a walk tonight, firstly to ease your mind, and secondly to help you break through to the Imperial Realm. Now that both have been perfectly accomplished, isn't it great? Did you really think I just wanted to find an opportunity to do that with you..."

"Isn't that so?" Tang Wanju pouted: "When you wanted to take me boating, wasn't it because you wanted to do what people do on boats? But someone got there first..."

Zhao Changhe chuckled: "Not really. I just thought that moonlit boating would be something you enjoyed... Like back at Tai Lake, you played the zither, I sang, and two years have passed with a flick of the finger. I wanted to revisit that dream. But now it seems standing quietly in the clouds, looking back at the fireworks, is equally enjoyable. Quite nice."

Tang Wanju could feel his calm heart, and she quietly looked up at him. He was smiling all the while, without any hint of ulterior motives, and didn't get annoyed at being misunderstood.

She truly felt as if this man had grown exactly into the type she wanted... Reminded of being teased about raising the husband she desired, Tang Wanju's face flushed a little. It's indeed true.

No, what raising... Now he has turned around to become my master.

Tang Wanju was worried that in moments of intimate passion, he would ask her to call him master... But instead, there was none of those embarrassing quirks, just such a peaceful atmosphere, which was unexpectedly surprising.

"In my younger days, I was full of Blood Qi, brimming with desires, especially when I was newly out of my shell, repressing my urges, maybe going a bit too far later... But Wanju, having broken through to the Imperial Realm, my body is fully in my control. If one is still trapped by carnal desires, how can we speak of the Imperial Realm?" Zhao Changhe smiled and said: "If I said that doing those things now is merely to fulfill an obligation, would you think one day I might become a monk?"

Tang Wanju's beautiful eyes swirled as she softly retorted: "Someone like you becoming a monk, I wouldn't believe it. Before reaching the end you desire, there will always be new desires in your heart... Like with Bao Qin, though she wants to be with you, don't you want her even a little? It's clearly not a one-sided attraction."

"Indeed, I am fond of Bao Qin's charm... But it's truly just to give her peace of mind, not urgently wanting to devour her; that's the difference from before... Actually, what she wants is just peace of mind."

"Of course." Tang Wanju playfully retorted: "The girl is pure and innocent, it's not like she's shameless."

In Zhao Changhe's mind flashed a glimpse of spring from the Boxun Illusion, an impossible gentle smile, as he murmured as if to himself: "But I do have other desires too..."

Tang Wanju wasn't jealous, and actually asked: "Who do you want to have? Miss Li Family, perhaps? I heard she's very beautiful, just a little cold."

Zhao Changhe hesitated to speak, eventually shaking his head: "Let's just say so."

The kick from the blind person was withdrawn at the last moment.

Tang Wanju said slowly: "If you want her, then conventional methods won't do... Why not hope for a conquest, to have Li Boping willingly offer his daughter."

Zhao Changhe listened with some surprise: "Is this really you speaking?"

"Why not?" Tang Wanju smiled slightly: "As long as it's what you want... I'll personally tie her up and present her to you."

"Uh..." Those words made Zhao Changhe's previously sage-like mindset rather itchy. Unfortunately, he really didn't want to talk more about the blind person and Jiuyou with them, since the blind person was listening, who knows which sentence might provoke her?

He had to change the topic: "Even though you've broken through to the Imperial Realm, the problem I mentioned with Chichi still exists. Chichi can transform Dragon Energy and faith cultivation, growing naturally without training, though slowly... But what about you? Just relying on taking pills? From my viewpoint, I'm not in favor of relying solely on pills for cultivation."

Tang Wanju looked at him with surprise: "Having already broken through, it's like having the power of God and Demon, how many can be at the Second or Third Layer? Most would just be of the Desolate Calamity type, and now I'm capable enough to deal with it. Plus, with eternal youth and a constant Divine Soul, isn't that enough... What Your Majesty and I should pursue now shouldn't be individual martial strength anymore."

Zhao Changhe was a bit taken aback, his expression somewhat peculiar.

Indeed... the Imperial Realm is a dividing line different from previous levels, once reached, one basically gains immortality, and few can surpass them. As an emperor and prime minister of the Empire, why pursue the highest martial arts? That's not their concern; they should focus on themselves and the Vermilion Bird Red Feather and others, as everyone's responsibilities have long been distinct.

But are you really not competing with the Vermilion Bird anymore? After all these years... can you let go?

Even if you let go, she may not let you go. When the time comes and she pins you down and spanks you, can you endure that...

Tang Wanju knew what he was thinking, but she didn't continue, simply saying softly: "It's late, let's go back to sleep."

She then blushed slightly and whispered: "When I said I wouldn't accompany you in those things, it was just asking for fun. Didn't expect to almost make you show your monk's heart. For us sisters, we'd rather you be full of desires, even if it's outrageous again."

So it goes for women...

If there's really none of that, she'd be the one to get upset with you.

Zhao Changhe couldn't help but laugh, and Tang Wanju scolded: "What are you laughing at!"

Zhao Changhe laughed and said: "Shall we go home then?"
