Chapter 125
Ye Piaoling started.
Ch-check her body?
Just as she was about to hug herself shyly, the man’s long, elegant fingers had already clasped around her pulse point.
Ye Piaoling: “…”
What was with that? He was only taking her pulse. Why did he have to make it sound so scary?
Di Xiulan probed the spiritual energy in her meridians, and his eyes shifted slightly.
Back in the Imprisoned Dragon Underground Palace, he had placed a restriction on her. But now, that restriction was faintly showing signs of being broken through.
It seemed he would have to add another layer of seal.
He formed seals with both hands and condensed an Evil-Suppressing Formation. “Turn around.”
Ye Piaoling said, “What are you doing? Why does this formation look so much like the one used to seal the Evil Lord’s Ghost Po?”
“It’s different,” Di Xiulan said gently. “This formation can help regulate the spiritual energy in your body and prevent you from suffering qi deviation because your cultivation is increasing too quickly.”
Ye Piaoling said, “All right.”
She did not suspect a thing and obediently turned her back to him.
The man’s palm landed on her spine. A vast surge of divine power poured into her body, feeling exceptionally cool and refreshing.
Ye Piaoling let out a comfortable breath. “That feels good!”
The corners of Di Xiulan’s lips curved. “All done.”
After being treated by the Regent King, Ye Piaoling finally felt at ease. When she cultivated again, her speed was still extremely fast, but she no longer panicked.
At some point, she had actually begun to trust this despicable Divine Venerable unconditionally.
In the blink of an eye, another dozen or so days passed, and the day of departure arrived.
Before leaving, Ye Piaoling went to say goodbye to Gu Liuxian and Granny Li again.
“Grandpa, Grandma, goodbye. Today, I set sail on a long voyage once more.”
Granny Li said in surprise, “You only just got back. Why are you leaving again? Where are you going this time?”
Ye Piaoling said, “This time, I’m going to Xiliu. I’m still going with the Regent King.”
After hearing this, Gu Liuxian muttered to himself, “Why does the Regent King take Ling’er with him wherever he goes… No way. Could he really have been momentarily blinded and fallen for my granddaughter?”
“What did you say?”
Ye Piaoling and Granny Li once again glared at him like ferocious demons.
Gu Liuxian coughed, then said with a perfectly serious expression, “I said, Ling’er, you must keep your eyes wide open. Don’t ever be momentarily blinded and fall for the Regent King!”
…
Chonghua Palace also had a teleportation array in Xiliu’s capital, which could take them there directly.
This time, for the sake of keeping a low profile, Ye Piaoling did not ride her electric scooter.
On the day of departure, after packing her things, she stepped into the teleportation array together with the man.
Bright light surged up. When it faded again, the two of them had arrived at a residence in Xiliu’s capital.
A subordinate from Chonghua Palace dressed like a steward had been waiting outside the array for quite some time. The moment he saw the two of them, he immediately bowed. “Greetings, Your Highness.”
At the same time, he quickly shot Ye Piaoling a curious glance.
According to news from Chonghua Palace headquarters, this was the woman who had given His Highness eight children!
Di Xiulan took Ye Piaoling’s hand and led her out of the teleportation array. “We can stay here for a few days. Once Liang Yun and the envoy delegation arrive, we’ll enter the palace together.”
Ye Piaoling looked around. It seemed this mansion was Chonghua Palace’s branch office in Xiliu’s capital. How elegant and low-key!
Being able to stay in such a nice hotel while on an overseas assignment made Ye Piaoling very satisfied. She asked excitedly, “Then what are we doing over the next few days?”
Di Xiulan said, “We can visit any places you want to see, eat something good, then find a dark and windy night to sneak into the National Preceptor’s Mansion and investigate.”
“Great, great!” Ye Piaoling immediately said readily. “Your Highness, if there are business trips like this in the future, just call me anytime!”
Di Xiulan said, “Hm?”
Ye Piaoling said, “I mean, from now on, no matter where you go to work, I’m willing to come along!”
Di Xiulan smiled. “You said it yourself.”
Dusk was approaching.
The two of them arrived at a bustling marketplace.
Xiliu’s architectural style was different from Dali’s, and everywhere showed a distinct Western Region charm. In the evening, the streets were crowded and lively, with people streaming past like weaving threads.
The young women passing by all wore veils over their faces.
Ye Piaoling asked, “Why are they wearing veils?”
Di Xiulan smiled. “It’s a custom in Xiliu. A beautiful face can only be shown to the one you love, so when women go out, they cover it with a veil.”
Ye Piaoling’s eyes lit up. “That makes sense! When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I need to hurry up and buy one too!”
She quickly ran to a nearby stall and picked out a beautiful veil.
Di Xiulan looked at her, the corners of his lips lifting.
The little thing really knew what she was doing.
She always understood with the slightest hint.
Indeed, her appearance should only be saved for him to see at night, once they were in bed…
The next second,
Ye Piaoling had already put the veil on his face.
“Lord Divine Venerable has a face beautiful enough to topple cities. You can’t just let random people see it!”
