Qin Siyao crafted a pair of perfectly fitting shoes for Xiao Mo and gifted them during a visit to his palace. She then led him to a mountain summit to watch the sunset, sharing the legend of a devoted ancient Qin princess who waited endlessly on what became Longing Mountain for her beloved who never returned. As evening fell, Qin Siyao donned an ancient, stained mask and wandered the imperial capital's streets alone, her figure evoking timeless desolation amid the bustling crowds.

Frost Prince's Manor, Side Courtyard.

Huasheng sat peacefully in the courtyard, absorbed in a story book novel.

As the personal maid of Qin Siyao, Huasheng had naturally followed when her mistress relocated to the Frost Prince's Manor.

After settling into the Frost Prince's Manor, Huasheng enjoyed far more free time and filled it by indulging in story book novels.

Despite being a Vermillion Bird, Huasheng's top favorites were always these human tales of romance and love.

For example, the bittersweet affair between a human and a ghost as shown in the books.

Or the anguished love story of a righteous young master and a demonic path maiden.

Or narratives drawn from ancient myths, like the legend of that ancestral human race sword immortal.

Even though all these tales were fictional, Huasheng simply adored them.

Huasheng felt quite intrigued too. Most human novelists likely never endured any devastating romances, but they wrote with such ease. Their creativity was remarkably abundant.

"Sister Huasheng, come quickly and taste the spicy chicken I just made. It's delicious!"

Qin Siyao brought the freshly cooked dish from the kitchen and set it on the stone table.

Huasheng glanced at the princess's handiwork, then at her confident eyes, and shivered uncontrollably.

Huasheng conceded that the princess's dish appeared perfectly tempting in look and scent, yet its flavor was bound to defy description!

She still recalled eating the princess's cooking once before, leaving her incapacitated for a whole day.

She refused to get tricked again!

"Princess, this servant suddenly remembered Young Master Xiao sent me to the northern city for some spirit medicine. I nearly overlooked this vital task and must head out now..."

Saying that, Huasheng swiftly set her book aside and hurried toward the courtyard gate.

"Eh? Sister Huasheng, no rush. Just one bite first. Sister Huasheng..."

Qin Siyao called sweetly, yet Huasheng sped up and soon vanished from view.

"Really... my cooking skills have improved a lot. It surely won't taste as bad as before."

Qin Siyao pouted her lips, grabbed chopsticks to try a piece herself, but reconsidered and put them down.

"Forget it, I'll give it to my brother later. Today's Second Brother's turn."

Qin Siyao dropped the chopsticks and spoke to herself with cheer.

"Hm? What story book novel is Sister Huasheng into now?"

Qin Siyao noticed the story book novel on the table, picked it up, and browsed it with curiosity.

As she kept reading, Qin Siyao's face flushed deeper and deeper...

"This story book novel is so improper..."

Qin Siyao quickly placed the story book novel down, but soon she felt tempted once more.

"Still, I've read this far, so why not peek again? Mm, just one more time!"

Qin Siyao lifted the story book novel again and resumed reading.

Half an hour later, Qin Siyao set the novel aside, still finding the story book quite indecent.

Obviously, so many things ought to happen only after marriage, but the woman in the story went ahead beforehand...

Truly shameless!

After finishing the story book novel, Qin Siyao inwardly rebuked it sharply.

But... Qin Siyao thought back to the book's scene of the leads interlocking fingers, and her heart swelled with expectation mixed with puzzlement.

"What's different about interlocking fingers versus normal hand-holding? Aren't they basically the same? Yet why does this story book novel make it sound so amazing?"

Qin Siyao stared at her slim fingers, envisioning them laced with Xiao Mo's.

The more she pondered, the quicker her heart pounded.

"Really, why am I fantasizing about this... truly shameless..."

Qin Siyao shook her head hard, steadied her fluttering emotions, and went off to find Xiao Mo like always.

Xiao Mo's courtyard sat right beside Qin Siyao's.

Upon entering Xiao Mo's courtyard, Qin Siyao saw him seated there, eyes shut in meditation.

Around Xiao Mo floated countless greenish long spear phantoms in endless rotation.

The whole courtyard brimmed with piercing spear sharpness and the overwhelming blood energy of a martial cultivator.

In the courtyard, spirit stones lining the path vibrated nonstop as spiritual energy surged toward the Golden Core inside Xiao Mo's body.

Qin Siyao chose not to disturb Xiao Mo.

She knew Xiao Mo had hit Golden Core peak and might soon face tribulation for Nascent Soul.

Though Qin Siyao had known Xiao Mo's power for ages, shock still gripped her.

How many in this world toiled till death without even Foundation Establishment?

And even after Foundation Establishment, how many years for Cave Mansion realm, Dragon Gate realm, Golden Core...?

Most Golden Core cultivators worldwide were grizzled 700-800 year olds, but Xiao Mo wasn't even thirty and already at Golden Core peak...

Scanning the entire world, how many matched him? The Northern Pacification Prince had reached Jade Simplicity realm before age 110 too.

Evidently, Xiao family heirs all possessed freakish talent.

"Then if Xiao Mo and I bear children, would their talent also..."

As thoughts swirled, Qin Siyao's cheeks burned red once more.

"Oh my, Qin Siyao, what are you imagining? You haven't wed yet... children come post-marriage... so immodest..."

Qin Siyao patted her cheeks, halting her reverie, yet her wedding eagerness intensified.

Of course, stronger wedding hopes bred fiercer anger at Second Brother.

Without Second Brother's interference, she could've celebrated grandly with Xiao Mo next year on Double Seventh Festival...

While Qin Siyao's mind wandered wildly, the courtyard's spear intent slowly dispersed, and Xiao Mo's spiritual energy withdrew.

At last, tranquility restored to the courtyard. Xiao Mo let out a long breath of foul air and opened his eyes.

"Xiao Mo, your cultivation seems to have advanced further." Qin Siyao stepped up happily and said.

"Not bad."

Xiao Mo smiled.

Truth be told, Xiao Mo saw Siyao's talent as equal to his own. She just acted more carefree day-to-day, but why did Siyao keep eyeing his hands?

"Is there something on my hands?" Xiao Mo asked.

"No..." Qin Siyao turned her flushed face away, then secretly peeked at Xiao Mo's palms again.

Xiao Mo knew this girl hid something in her thoughts.

Xiao Mo wished to question her more, but a maid entered the courtyard, bowed to Xiao Mo and Qin Siyao. "Your Highness, Madam..."

"What is it?" Xiao Mo asked.

"Your Highness, a woman with General Xiahou's letter wants to see you, claiming she passed General Xiahou's assessment." The maid reported faithfully. "That woman's name is Lian Li."

"..."

At that name, Xiao Mo paused briefly, surprised Lian Li had reached Qin Kingdom.

While Xiao Mo stood stunned, an ill omen aura crept up beside him.

Xiao Mo looked over to find Qin Siyao pouting, her lovely glassy eyes staring at him with dark intensity.
