The Heavenly Empress scolded immortal attendant Baiyun angrily, "His Majesty ordered you to examine the wound of the Night God. What are you doing!?"
Immortal attendant Baiyun wanted to speak but stopped, "This, reporting to Your Highness the Heavenly Empress, the Eldest Highness, he...."
When Tuyao's gaze swept over Luo Yu like a knife, the almost imperceptible curve at the corner of Luo Yu's lips vanished, and in an instant, he switched back to the look of "his father and mother don't love, the first pitiful little cabbage in the world".
Tuyao took a deep breath inwardly, "This rebellious son indeed has a guilty conscience, which is why he refuses to let his wound be examined!" She waved a hand at the attendant and said, "You retreat."
The immortal attendant looked at the imposing Heavenly Empress, and then at the Eldest Highness, who looked at a loss. He could only bow and reply, "Yes."
Both of his shoes were in his hand. Luo Yu was wearing only white socks, and standing upon the thick carpet, he appeared utterly pitiful and helpless. Tuyao, by contrast, stood tall in her golden crown and phoenix robe, dignified and majestic. With every step she took closer, the intention of retreat in the eyes of the Night God deepened.
Tuyao stopped two steps away from Luo Yu, and her eyes were full of scrutiny and contempt. Then, like a beast, she said very majestically, "Take it off."
Luo Yu nearly choked on his own saliva. Damn, this woman really has a distorted and terrible desire to control Runyu. She stares at the Night God without saying anything every day, and while suppressing him from every angle, she also expects the Night God to be obedient to her and obey her orders.
Luo Yu deliberately clenched the shoes he still held in his hand so hard that blue veins appeared. His lips quivered slightly as he whispered, "Mother Goddess...."
Tuyao sneered, "What? Have your wings grown strong enough that you dare disobey me?"
Luo Yu complained silently in his heart, "Runyu is a dragon, not your bird. Where can I have wings?" Yet outwardly, his face was still pitiful and weak, "Runyu dares not...."
Under the gaze of the Heavenly Empress, the Night God bent down and put down the shoes in his hand. His movements were excruciatingly slow, and his fingertips even trembled indescribably. At last, his delicate and slender jade-like fingers moved to the white silk sash tied around his waist.
As a delicate boy who dances ballet, Luo Yu was deeply versed in the allure of body language. It is very boring to go straight to the topic; true seduction lies in the delicate balance between approach and retreat, and between feigned resistance and yielding compliance.
Tuyao felt that there must be something wrong today. The Heavenly Emperor is used to being flirtatious and incorrigibly amorous, Zifen is elegant and possessed a cool, ethereal detachment, and the princess of the Dragonfish Clan, Suli, besides the fact that her eyes and eyebrows resembled the late Flower Goddess, she also has a bewitching charm.
When Tuyao brought Runyu back from the shore of Taihu Lake, he was still just a little clown dragon with sawed-off horns and scales. Thanks to eating the Floating Dream Elixir, Runyu forgot all the painful memories of his childhood and only remembered her, the fairy sister who had saved his life. Of course, he was later told his biological father is the Heavenly Emperor, and the fairy sister is the Heavenly Empress and his Mother Goddess.
Because of the first meeting of Taihu Lake, Runyu, who was silly when he was young, actually liked to follow Tuyao everywhere. At that time, Tuyao's position was precarious; Taiwei wanted to abolish her and set up the Flower Goddess as the Heavenly Empress. In addition, Xufeng was not yet born, and Tuyao had no son or favor, so she did have some affection for Runyu.
Later, she had a biological son, and she was not the same as before to Runyu. For tens of thousands of years, she has not been loved by her husband, and has only power to turn to. The Heavenly family is ruthless, not to mention that in front of the throne, as the eldest son of the Heavenly Emperor, Runyu is Xufeng's biggest obstacle to inheriting the throne. She views Runyu as a thorn in her side, and naturally, it is worse day by day.
What's more, Runyu's character and talent are really out of the ordinary. "It's really the evil spawn born of that unmarried, lowly vixen. Like his mother, he has a charming face!" Tuyao thought angrily.
Immortals have sharp eyes. When the Night God untied the silk ribbon around his waist, she keenly saw that his fair chest was looming, but it was intact, and there was no so-called wound at all.
The Heavenly Empress's blood surged, and the fury went to her head. She rushed up, tore off the Night God's shirt and innerwear, and questioned him aggressively, "Runyu, you are so bold! How dare you deceive His Majesty and me!? Speak! Was Xufeng secretly killed by you!?"
Phoenixes are divine birds, and Tuyao was the Princess of the Bird Clan. She has cultivated fire spells to the level of Pure Glass Fire, and her physical strength is amazing. How can Luo Yu, who is still learning the basic immortal methods, resist? With a startled cry, he was pushed back by the Heavenly Empress.
Tuyao was pulling his clothes, coupled with her own emotional excitement, and without noticing it, she was taken down by him, and her whole body fell directly on Runyu.
His Eldest Highness the Night God lay on his back on the ground, with a handsome jade face, straight nose, bright teeth, and crimson lips. Under the heroic sword eyebrows, a pair of peach blossom eyes were red and tearful, which was touching.
"You rebellious son, where did you hide Xufeng!? Tell me!" Tuyao hissed, her face inches from his.
With tears welling in his eyes, Luo Yu cried and defended, "Mother Goddess, Runyu didn't do it. It really has nothing to do with me...."
Just as Luo Yu turned his head slightly, he spotted that in the corner of the hall, the hem of a familiar golden imperial dragon-robe was exposed. It seems that immortal attendant Baiyun actually invited the Heavenly Emperor. Luo Yu inwardly gave Baiyun, the GOAT, a thumbs up.
In the face of Tuyao's hysteria, the Night God closed his eyes sorrowfully. His eyelashes glistened, and tears rolled down. Under Tuyao, he sobbed, "Mother Goddess, please don't...let go of Runyu...."
Tuyao is venting all the pent-up anxiety and frustration over Xufeng's disappearance onto Runyu when, suddenly, Taiwei's stern and unbelievable voice, like thunder, interrupts all her movements, "Heavenly Empress! What in the Six Realms are you doing!?"
Tuyao was stunned, and she turned her head back in shock. She looked down at the disheveled, half-clothed, weeping Night God beneath her, then up at her husband, whose face was currently almost as dark as the bottom of a pot. She scrambled to let go of Runyu's clothes, and her voice dropped to a whisper, "Your Majesty...."
Ignoring Tuyao, he strode to Runyu's side and helped him sit up. At this moment, His Eldest Highness the Night God could not be more immersed in the play. He closed his clothes in panic and humiliation, hid in the corner, and put his arms around his knees and cried. His silent sobs made people couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Burrying his whole head in the crook of his arms, Luo Yu's shoulders trembled slightly. Taiwei thought he was crying too much, but in reality, Luo Yu was shaking from the sheer effort of stifling his laughter.
"This...." Taiwei stared, dumbfounded, and turned to glare at Tuyao. Seeing that she was speechless, Taiwei gave a cold snort, flicked his sleeves angrily, and turned around and left.
Tuyao stood frozen like a statue until finally, she realized that His Majesty misunderstood! At that moment, how could she possibly care about Runyu? She hurriedly lifted her skirt and chased in the direction where Taiwei left, "Your Majesty, slow down! Your Majesty, listen to my explanation!"
Taiwei strode to the corridor of the side hall and was caught up by Tuyao. He shook off Tuyao's hand holding his sleeve and said furiously, "I have seen it with my own eyes. What else is there for you to explain!? Runyu is just a child, and you, as the dignified Heavenly Empress, completely ignored your identity to engage in such behavior! How could you do such a...." He couldn't bring himself to continue and brushed his sleeves away regardless of the Heavenly Empress's obstruction, storming away in rage.
The Heavenly Emperor left in anger like this, so how could the Heavenly Empress have the heart to argue with Runyu? She dared not return to trouble the Night God again, and couldn't wait to keep a distance from him, so as not to make matters look even worse. In the end, Tuyao could only suppress her heart full of anger and hurried back to Zifangyun Palace.
